Letter From New York.


the boys who left Island Pond for
New York last Thursday afternoon, UNI
der the charge of John l.. Carten, were
generally requested by many of their
friends to write few lines in descrip-
ton of their trip, reception, work etc,
we conclude that the most convenient
method of acquiescing to their solicita-
lions would be through the columns of
the HERALD.
The entire trip was one not only of
pleasure but also of intense interest, and
we were favored with the best accommo-
dations that could be obtained
We arrived in Portland in time for
supper, which we took at the West End
Hotel. After supper Mr. Carten char
tered an electric and his party took in
the city. This ride was greatly enjoyed
by all, and was pronounced as pleasant
and profitable way of passing the time
that we were compelled to wait at that
point. About nine o'clock we returned
to Union Depot and again resumed our
journey, taking special pullman by way
of Hartford and New Haven, and arrived
in New York at 1926 Friday morning.
Here we were met by Mr.. R. A. Perkins,
manager of the United Dressed Beef
Company, and escorted to the Wander
bilt Restaurant, where bouncing fine
breakfast was served.
This was Mr.. Perkins first experience
with Island Pond men, nevertheless he
assured Mr.. Carten that he was con-
vinced that he had brought some willing
workers with him, judging by the
demonstration made at this stage OF the
game.
Prior to leaving Island Pond we were
told by several of our timid friends that
we would not be long getting " our fill y
in New York. Now while we do admit
that they spoke truthfully, we hold that
they spoke absolutely unauthoritatively,
and that we received "our fill " in a
manner quite differently from that which
they intimated.
We then took an electric and proceeded
to headquarters where we reported at the
Office and were assigned to our various
positions, viz, c. w. Farr, owing to his
previous experience, to that of cutter,
w. L. Currier and Gilbert Harris to that
of singers, Herbert Danforth to that of
slider, Martin Lee to that of cleaner,
M. &. Burbank and Ara Morse to that
of choppers, G. r. Andrews, E. Z. Lang
maid and Edward Moore to that of
dressers, Harry Morse to that of cleaver,
G. l.. Convey, Paul Quay and j. L. Del.
land to that of pushers. Each man has
continued to work in these capacities,
and apparently to the satisfaction of the
heads of their respective departments.
The work is easy and light as all lift
ing is done by machinery. The bosses
are all pleasant men, never growing at
their men but encouraging them and
imparting instruction in very agreeable
way. They have one-third working
number, and dress from three to five
hundred day. l am speaking only
with reference to the cattle floor. Of
course lambs and hogs are dressed in
other parts of the market.
Eight hours constitute days work,
and liberal compensation is made for all
overtime. Every man is paid the salary
as arranged with John Carten before we

FRIDAY, AUGUST 90, 1904.

How would it work to try in some
way to please everybody by abolishing
all the state boards and commissioners.
Everybody in the state considers some
one or more of them an ugly, expensive
octopus. And really, no doubt, some OF
them are expensive and valueless to the
public. The only question is-which

A WORKING POLICY.

"Of all the policies l ever saw policy,
never saw policy policy as your policy
policies"
Thus writes an intelligent and enthu
siastic policy-holder who listens to and
tries to understand all the insurance talk
he hears, and when he thinks he has
heard of some new and good thing, goes
home and reads again his National poll :
cy and finds that he has the good thing
and always has had it, and he realizes
that his National policy was not mere
bargain of the day, but was study and
a performance an expert and detailed
work developed demonstration of the
kind of policy he would have had if he
had hired the best help obtainable to get
for him all he would need, or care for,
or ought to have in the way of protec
ton.
So he rejoices in the virtue of his prop
erty and is Satisfied, and he is right.
A man should have policy which poll
cies all the time, night and day, year in
and year out.

The prisoners admitted they were

Live Wire Held Lad Prisoner.

Receiving a current of several hun
dred volts from a trolley wire, highly
charged, Albert Burlingame, the
twelve -years-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Norman Burlingame, Of Almedia, was
rendered unconscious in the limbs OF
a tree at Almedia Tuesday afternoon.
The lad had climbed the tree in front
of Englehart carriage shop at AL
media about two o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon and for some unknown reason
reached up and touched the high ten
sion wire. Instantly enough of the
current passed through his body TO rem
der him unconscious and in that per
ilous position he was held by the
strength of the current
Several persons at the spot were hor-
rified, thinking that the lad was kill
ed. Clyde Robbins, a young man OF
Almedia, then courageously climbed
in 20 the tree to release the boy from
his dangerous position. When Robbins
first attempted to tear the boy from
the wire he, likewise received shock
but finally he released the boy and
brought him safely to the ground still
in an unconscious condition.
DR.. Wolfe. OF Espy. was hastily sum
moned and the boy was restored to
consciousness.
The boys hand is horribly burned
and the second. third and fourth fling
ers are burned away entirely. The
use of his third finger the lad will
never regain.
In addition to these burns. although
the boy had shoes and stockings on,
the soles Of his feet are burned into
blisters by the contact of the current.
The fact that the boy was at the top
of tree when he touched the wire
was the only thing that saved his lite
for the wire which he touched was
very heavily charged and had he been
on the ground or on better conduct
or of electricity than the tree. the DO y
would undoubtedly have been killed.
