For Friendly Revision.

The function Of the Republican party
during the next four years will be TO
ease the social pressure Of radicaIism
by letting of the steam gradually.
If the safety valve il held down too
tight some day big outburst viii blow
Bryan, Hearst, Watson, Debs, etc, into
Office.
The way to avoid this Is to do some
thing about The tariff and to 90 some
thing about Che trusts.
Another reason for doing something
about the tariff and for doing something
about the trusts Is that Il Is right that
something should be done.
Men ike Bryan, Hearst, Watson and
Debs are not the men to do it.
Evidently Bryan is impractical. II

a WORK WELL DONE.

II has taken long time, but the work
Of eqnipping the city hall and Barre
opera house with fire escapes has finally
been completed. The people Of the city
and particularly those who are in the
habit Of attending public meetings, the
atres, concerts, lectures, etc, in the opera
house win breathe easier. The building
may now be considered well equipped
with the means Of getting out in case
Of fire or panic occasioned by other
causes. There are three staircase exits,
all Of which are open and easily reached.
The doors Of these are always kept I'M
locked. Two Of these exits, those be-
meath the stage, could not be depended
upon to allow q very large number Of
people to pass out in the crush that
would follow fire scare, but the main
exit Il plenty large enough, These exits
have now been supplemented with two
ladder fire escapes, one on the south and
the other On the north side. With these
the building is the best equipped Of any
in the city for the protection Of life
in case Of extreme necessity, such as
may come, but which all hope win never
come. On thing more is necessary, and
that il To follow out the recommendation
Of the inspector Of buildings and plainly
mark the exits and the approaches TO
the fire escapes. We are promised BY
those in charge that there will be no
delay in taking this added precaution.
With that done the work viii DO we'll
done.

Buckley treated it with superb 1ndn-
ference. He was telling some story,
and he did not even pause, but, taxing
a salt cellar, he poured some OF the
salt on the spot, and as he continued
to talk he kept rubbing it in as II ne
hardly knew what he was doing. Inc
salt saved the cloth from a bad stain,
and it was all done as a prince might
have done 1t.

Mrs. Cranston led her into summer
house near the carriage drive. 1t had
two compartments and entrances from
different walks. Before answering,
Mrs. Cranston peered cautiously
through the wooden latticework that
separated the two rooms.
What are you doing:" Miss Cosby
asked.
81 was looking to see if anybody was
on the other SIDE" was the answer, in
a satisfied tone, as Mrs. Cranston seat
ed herself. I'VE had q lot Of trouble
here In the summer at lawn party,
owing to some people hearing them
selves talked about. There was a
spoony pair on that side and couple Of
old maids on this one. The lovers were
blissfully silent, for reasons Of their
own, and they heard some things about
themselves that they didn't like. Yes,

Il knew It," cried the visitor, laying
her, two hands on Mrs. Cranston's arm
and sitting down beside her. She's
going to marry the governor, and you

Mrs. Cranston shook her head and
went on with a lengthy explanation Of

the name of George Buckley appeared
as often as that Of Governor Telfare. /.

Burton Mansfield, who repre- sents a large number of the French spoliation claimants said yesterday that the cases decided represent a small number of those that have been presented by heirs of Connecticut yes sel owners The cases have been under consideration by the court of claims for many years. The Lucy and Hawk were owned by the shipping firm of Prescott & sherman, of this city. The Hawk was captured in 1799 and the Lucy the following year by French pri- vateers. Vessels and cargoes were con demned by French prize courts at Guadeloupe, for which losses the court Of claims adjudges that in the case of the Hawk the following amounts are due the claimants:
 Frederick R. Sherman, executor etc, of Roger sherman, surviving partner of the arm of Prescott & sherman, $60S.75;; the New Haven Insurance company, $1,5OO; Julius c. Cable, administrator, etc, of William Walter, $569.37.

Spoke at the Y. M. c. A Yesterday
 Afternoon.
 Notwithstanding the fact that yester- day was Christmas day, and a cold one, a large number of men attended the meeting of the Young Mems Christian association to .hear Dr. Wilbur F.. Crafts, of Washington, D. c. During the preliminary exercises Warren Wll- Hams sang very effectively Night of Nights ?
 [ pr. Crafts spoke on the subject "The March of Christ Down the Centuries, < and he showed that that march was God s revelation to men of Jesus Christ. In the human body are machines sur passing any that man had invented, which shows that God worked through mind This thought makes God definite to young men. The speaker regarded Browning as the '.great Isaiah of the poets, and in closing quoted from Brownfng's "Saul'' and Christmas Hymn, which so beautifully bring out the thought of mans nearness 10 God made in His Image not only in soul, but in body as well. If we are in His Image then He will not leave us, His children, with nothing to guide us
 At the close of the meeting the ma jority signed a petition to abolish the sale of intoxicants from all government buildings. Leaflets were distributed dhich gave information of the National Reform Bureau, of which pr. Crafts is the superintendent.

A UNIQUE CHRISTMAS TRIBE.

Little Christnastide Offering Which
 Appears Every Year on Proprietor's
 Table.
 The guests at the Garde hotel during the Christmas holidays have been very much pleased at an addition al feature in the dining room. This is very pretty minute Christmas tree which graced the table occupied by Proprietor E. H. c. Meyers family. The tree is an artificial one about two feet high. It is decorated in man her which is enough to make the usual Christmas tree ever green" with en- wy. Minute candles are placed in little holders all about 1t, and when the light from them is shed on the tinseIed dec orations the effect is very pleasing.
 This tree has a history. Frederick Meyer, the son of the proprietor, was born in September, twenty-one years ago. On the following Christmas. three months after, Mrs. Meyer bought this little tree and decorated 1t, as it is to- day, for her son. Every year since that time the tree has not failed to adorn and beautify the family table at Christ mastide. Hanging on the tree among other things are a little pair of baby stockings, the very ones which were given to her son on his first Christmas. The little tree in the dining room made it very pleasant for the many guests who, on account of business, were un- able to go to their homes, and who con sequently remained over at this popu- 5. lar hostelrN

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

"The Money Makers Is another rac- ing comedy, this time from English sources. 1t having been one of the big successes of the last London season. The story of the piece tells more of the betting side of the game than of either the horses or the racing itself Two young women who have never seen race track, but who want to get money in a hurry, decide on opening a tipsters bureau. Their success is unqualified, but marred by many amusing compli- cations brought about by their lack of technical knowledge of horse racing. .aThe Money Makers will be the means of presenting Miss Ida Conquest for the first time in this city as a, star. She will be seen at the Hyperion theater tonight, tomorrow night and Wednes- day night. Manager Tom ". Ryley, who is responsible for Miss Conquest's starring venture, has engaged a strong company to support her, Including Cyril Scott. Eugene o'Rourlse. Lillian Thur gate, Daisy Atherton, Annie Wood, Gertrude Douglas, Nina Lyme, Mabel Dixey, Eileen Goodwin, Edna Mcclure, Mabel Crawley, Brandon Hurst, Ed mund Lyons, F. Newton Lindo, Herbert Ayling.
