Fire In Fleming & Crowns Store,

The early discovery of fire in Flem-
ing & Crowns store Tuesday night prob
ably prevented the destruction of the
Grange store building. Harley Blanchard
and Michael Baker were going home from
a Foresters of America meeting about
11.30 o'clock. when they saw blaze in
the store. Mr.. Blanchard rushed to fire
alarm box S2, near the steamer house.
and gave the alarm. Chief of police Hall
was on hand in a moment and the men
broke out the glass in one of the front
doors and went in. The fire department
was on hand quickly. and a stream from
the chemical wagon was turned on, ex-
tinguishing the flames. The fire was con-
fined to a wooden cupboard, filed with
freight receipts and other papers, which
stood on the counter. These were des-
troyed, and a lot of brass faucets and
other brass articles which were on the
cupboard were damaged. Several stoves
and pieces of hardware We're spattered
with chemical fluid, causing them to rust,
but the loss on those articles will be
slight The total loss may reach $780,
The cause of the fire is not known.

| Brattleboro now has the benefit of one
of the finest hospitals in New England.
and has available each year large sum
for charitable and other kindred purposes
Thomas Thompson and his wife, Eliza
beth Thompson, to whom the town is
responsible for this good fortune, have
had their memories honored in no way
by this community. Even their names
have no connection with the hospital
provided by their generosity. 1t would be
peculiarly fitting at this time, just as the
hospital has been opened, to show some
slight appreciation of our distinguished
benefactors The suggestion has been
made-and it is good one-that
money be raised by popular subscription
to provide for placing on the walls OF the
administration building suitable portraits
of Thomas Thompson and Elizabeth
Thompson. Small sums-$1 each by we'll
to-do citizens and smaller contributions
by others-would make fund which in
the aggregate would give ample provision
for this purpose. The Phoenix hopes to see
movement started on the lines indi-
Gated, and it will receive subscriptions il
the people of Brattleboro will only show
proper interest in aiding this worthy
object.

The recent decision rendered by Justice
Brewer in the United States supreme
court settles beyond cavl that oleomar-
garine cannot be artifcialy colored with
any substance under the present law.
August Cliff Of Chicago, a manufacturer.
claimed that palm oil is a vegetable oil.
and that therefore its use in the manu-
facture of oleo was legal This argu-
ment was absolutely refuted in Justice
Brewers decision. Justice Brewer point
ed out that congress included in the term
vegetable oils substances used for col
oring purposes. when any substance"
says Justice Brewer, although named as
a possible ingredient, substantially serves
only the function of cooring the mass.
and so to cause II to look like butter of
any shade of yellow, it is an artificial
coloration." The only manner in which
oleo can now be put on the market le-
gally is white. uncoored product. The
manufacturers will attempt to have Con-
gress repeal the law, but they are facing
forlorn hope.

With Secretary Morton asking Congress
to give the navy S114, $50, 63S.34 for the
year beginning July l, 1905, it is apparent
that the fleet that costs s10O. 900, 900. a year
has come to stay. This vast expenditure
means that policy of generous naval ex-
pansion will go on until the American
navy is second only to that of England
in size and will remain as now second to
none in ship to ship efficiency. When all
the American warshlps now building are
completed the navy will be the third larg-
est in the world. England and France
will be first and second.

Gov. Bell was seeing things at night
when he recorded his first veto under the
conclusion that an increase in the fees
of witnesses would make witnessing
profitable. The fees for witnesses had re-
manned at the same figure so years. while
the payments to all other persons con-
nected with court cases had been increas-
ed. Even under the bill recently passed
by the legislature a day laborer will not
get enough money when called into court
as witness TO reimburse him for his
time lost and for the expense of going
to and from court and providing for him
self while there There is no reason why
witness should be called upon to in
cur expense in giving testimony for the
benefit of others. and it would have been
sensible movement if the legislators
had still further increased the compensa-
tion to witnesses. Under the method so
long in vogue the rate was 81 a day and
six cents per mile for mileage in going
to county court cases, and so cents a day
in justice cases. The increase is to 50
and 81 per day respectively, with no
change in the mileage allowance. Here
is case in point which came under the
observation Of the writer: A professional
man whose time upon the work on which
he was then engaged was valued at
not less than 81 per hour was summoned
to county court as a witness. He drove
26 miles in rain, paid SO for "A team and
81 for hotel bill and when court ex-
penses were settled some time later re-
ceived the fee OF 81 and IS cents for mile
age. He figured that he had lost his own
valuable time, had been greatly incon-
venienced, and had incurred an unavoid-
able expense of s2.22 for the privilege Of
being summoned to court
