Mary Dodge, a maiden woman OF
45 years, ard an adopted daughter OF
Mrs. Joel Dodge, with whom she has
lived from childhood, was burned TO
death at a. m. Dec u in fire which
destroyed her mothers house at
Wrightsvllle, a settlement about three
miles IRON Montpelier. The woman
had been i'll for several weeks and her
mother was nervous over her peculiar
tiles.
Miss Dodge took a lighted lamp to
her room and il Is believed the lamp
either exploded or that she tipped it
over. Her mother. 50 years old, was
awakened by a light shining into
her room. She thought at first it was
DAY time and arose 70 dress. then she
discovered that the ceiling of her own
room was on fire and rushed from the
house for assistance.
When assistance arrived the whole
interior Of the building was in flames
and no one could reach Miss Dodge's
room The next morning the charTed
trunk of her body was found in the
cellar. The head and limbs were
gone, having been burned TO ashes
No cry was heard from her and it is
believed she was sutfOcated.
Ii is said the two women did not
live very happily together. Not long
ago the deceased secured an attach
ment on her foster mothers property,
as the old lady had refused to make n
will in her favor, after Miss Dodge
had cared for her rs years. Notwith-
standing this no foul play is suggested
OF suspected, although the origin OF
the fire is a mystery.

kIIlinn Deer for FOOD.

The game wardens OF Rutland and
vicinity have received much new evil
dence during the past few days OF
wholesale violations of the Vermont
laws protecting deer from slaughter,
and there is now little doubt that many
deer are killed at all times OF the year
in the mountain towns east of Rutland,
those who kill them doing so for the
purpose of obtaining the flesh for
food, on which they largely subsist,
and also for the money which they
receive for the skins, these being
shipped TO tanneries and taxidermlsts
out OF the state.
There are many people living among
these mountains who are very poor
and they would have a hard time get
ting enough 10 eat were il not for the
deer and the fish that they catch.
E Officers few DAYS ago went to the
Dunton place, a deserted farm in the
town of Mendon, where a Barrett fam
lily have been staying for some time,
and in the house under the Kitchen
floor they found fourteen deer skins,
which bad been hidden there. Some
were very dry and others were COM
paratively fresh The officers are
now trying TO prove that the skins
were placed there By the Barretts. A
fawn was found in this ftmily's pos
session some time ago and it is now
being brought up on the preserves Of
NJ. +. Wheeler at MendOn.
It Is thought that most Of the deer
are killed in the winter when there is
so much snow on the ground that Il Is
easy to catch them, and q good price
can then be secured Tor the hides.

The matter of feed is OF
tremendous Importance TO the

what to feed his COWS to get

get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?

food; the Cod Liver Oil in it

This building will be the first large struc- ture in Birmingham where this class of brick is used. The trimmings will be of white limestone. The building is to have a large copper dome, similar to the one on the old Caldwell hotel, which was destroyed by fire years ago.
 The plans for the building were drawn by H. D. Breeding and he will have entire supervision of the construction. It will be leased to some competent hotel man. All ready two bids, one from a local party and the other from an Atlanta man, have been received for the lease of the hotel.

SEEING THE GREAT FAIR.
ss.s.s.:9s.s.s.:ss.s.s.s.s.s.s:
BY N. p. T. FINCH.

1 to study given subject will not find too
 much to see and to investigate, but the
 average citizen is not a specialist. He is | simply looker-on at Forest Park, and his stay there is limited as rule to six | days Comparatively few will stay longer l than six days
 Can the everyday man see the big fair l in a satisfactory manner in six days? Can he in that time gather impressions that
 will be lasting and instructive? It is. in- deed, doubtful. Worlds fairs are all af- ] flicted with bigness, and the tendency is to break all records Chicago was twice as big as Philadelphia, and now St. Louis | is twice as big as Chicago. In general way the St. Louis fair is two miles long and one mile wide, and the Pike is an additional mile lying alongside. The Pike l is full of picturesque attractions, and nearly every acre of the fair proper Is Interesting No one can see, no matter | how hardy he may be, such show in six days He can readily become fatigued each day of the six, but the impressions | that he will carry away will be general pictures and not much lasting instruction will go with them. At least that was my experience at Philadelphia and Chi cago.
 Take, for example, the four granite DulfulnRS WHICH nOlu pdlHtlIBs anu sldtu- ary at the St. Louis fair. There are in
 those buildings 135 galleries filled with
 dreams from the fine arts, the largest
 artistic display the world has ever known.
 Do you not see at once that you cannot
 carry away abiding recollections gathered
 in 135 galleries, every one of which is
 worthy of months study?
 The Filipino display alone is eight times larger than Capitol park. The palace of
 transportation is three times larger; the
 Indian reservation six times; the mines
 palace, In the center of which stands Bir-
 minghams Iron Man, is nearly twice larger; and the Rose garden is fully, as large again-to say nothing of the fourteen
 acre manufactures building, the palace of
 machinery one-quarter of mile long,
 and dozen other structures equally big.
 If you could stretch Capitol park to Twenty-fourth street, taking in the park
 on that street, you would not have room
 in which to place the agriculture build
 ing, full of exhibits. every one of which
 claims attention.
 There are, too, so many fine special ex-
 hibits-the Jubilee presents of Queen Vic
 toria, cheese weighing two tons, a tur-
 bine engine of 5000 horsepower, a whale 92 feet long. wireless telegraphs in oper-
 ation, and the airship tournament.
 How can all these things, and a thous- and besides, be seen in six days? It cannot

Capitol park contains five and half acres Don't forget that, for by using Capitol park freely as a unit, an appre- citation of the bigness of the St. Louis fair may be arrived at.
 It covers to begin with 1240 acres. When you have walked through and around Capitol park, and are tired enough to sit down by the fountain, you may be glad that you have not 224 more Capitol parks to cross and recross and criss-cross, as those have, who go to the big fair in Forest Park, St. Louis.

Skip nine-tenths of the show, and study the remaining one-tenth. After one good hard days ramble you will know what tenth Is worth your time and trouble.
