Bert Parsons Overcome by Jealousy SuPPOs-
eddy.
Castleton, Feb. l4:-Bert Parsons,
son of Albert Parsons, living on Lake
Bomoseen, shot himself in the base
ment Of Mounds livery stable at 1890
O'Clock this morning. His condition
is serious. 1t is believed to have been
an attempt at suicide, due to jealousy.
Parsons had been to dancing
school in this village, where it is said
some uupleasautness occurred. A par
W of young men were in the livery sta
BILE getting their teams, when Parsons
went into the basement.
Soon after the report Of arevolver
was heard and Parsons was found
with a .32 calibre bullet in the left side
OF his chest. Drs Clark aud Everett
we're summon ed and the young man
was moved to J Mounds house across
the street from the stable. His con-
dition is critical.

ANTl-SALOON LEAGUE
Agent Has Been Here but He
Found No Encouragement
for Him.

The license commissioners are
already beginning to be interviewed in
relation to the granting of licenses
for the coming year, but no hearing
will be given until after April first.
The licenses in force do not expire un-
til after the first of May
But very little is being said about
the result of the license vote which
comes at the town meeting to be held
the first day of March. 1t is generally
conceded that it will go for license by
a good majority. On that day all the
saloons will be closed according to
law.
The commissioners are not very busy
of late. Occasionally they receive a
complaint but investigation always
shows that there is no foundation.
People are generally satisfied with the
way the law is being observed.
The Rev George Washington Nor.
row was here last week and interview
ed the clergy of the place and others in
regard to starting a no license cam
paign before the meeting. He got but
very little encouragement as there was
a feeling Of satisfaction with the pres
ent status OF things, aud that the field
was not yet ripe enough for that kind
of harvest. The reverend gentleman
was well entertained but did not accom-
plish ANYTHING.

With Ice In Rear Of Mil Water Freezes on
Track
A bulkhead in rear of II. f. Brad
ford and Co.'S mill became clogged up
with ice Saturday evening with the re-
suit that the water oternowed and ran
through to Main street. Here it ran
into the bed of the electric railway
filling the spaces inside the rails, and
practically covering them.
The water froze so that it was with
much difficulty that the cars ran, and
not much on the schedule. Every
means was taken to clear the tracks
as fast as possible.
The Water company is also having
busy times thawing out frozen pipes.
Several places in the village have
been without water several days.

How the Men Set About to Lower the
Fragments of Marble.
AS soon as great fragment of mar
BILE detached by the blast has stopped
rolling it is more or less roughly squar-
ed into block weighing, say, forty
tons.
Then the men set about getting it
down. Along certain lines of descent
Offering the least resistance to body
descending by force of gravitation a
succession of stout posts has been
firmly driven into the loose stones and
marble waste The men by means of
crowbars and screw jacks raise the
block on to soaped skid of hard
beech wood, of which they have several
at hand. Before doing this they Sc
cure the block by means of three long
three to five inch hempen cables, with
which they take turns around the posts
and pay out sufficient rope only to al
low of the ponderous mass sliding over
the soaped skids by its own weight
and the angle of the incline, but not to
allow of its gaining too much momen-
tum.
During this descent, besides the men
failing on to the ropes, two or more
men are seated on the block. A man
following closely in its wake hands
them up the skid Just passed over,
which they resoap and hand down to a
man, who keeps just in front of the
moving mass, to put down in its path
and so provide continuous slipway
This last mentioned worker has the
most perilous task. If one of the cables
part at critical moment or if mis-
take be made in paying out or slack
ening them. he must inevitably be
crushed.
1t is a fine sight to see the men at
the last pinch. near the railhead, hand
lowering the marble over rollers on to
the truck At this stage all hands are
yelling like demons at their work, but
the moment their burden is safely en-
trained every man tltnss down his tool.

Imnroved nr Endnred.

There are some things in life to be
endured and other things to be chang
ed for the better. 1t shows Christian
submission and fortitude to stand what
cannot be helped, but it indicates lazi-
ness and cowardice to put up with
what can and should be mended. God
did not put us here simply to endure
our lot but to improve it whenever
possible He tests our character and
principles by His varying providences.
He loves the heroic carriage under one
set of conditions, but under others He
delights in the disposition and capacity
to triumph over difficulties and to
transform adversely into prosperity

with intense interest the members
of the medical profession haze been
discussing the remarkable record left
for science by the LAKE Dir. Stephen

stricken down by an attack OF acute

to his fellow physicians the sensations

terrible agony, continued to portray the
feeling of victim of heart failure
caused by extreme dilation.
Dr. Truck was called from his home
the other day to perform an operation
in Bushwick hospital, Brooklyn. He
complained of being greatly fatigued
and of suffering from grip. For thir-
ty minutes he worked over the patient
