| EDITOR CALIFORNIAN
In reply to your very courteous letter
requesting me to give my views upon the
curfew question, submit the following
From personal observation and the testi-
mony of reliable witnesses it appears
probable that a certain class of the boys
and girls of our village are far too often
found upon our public streets until
very late hour of the evening. No intelli-
gent person can doubt that such state
of affairs is detrimental to the morals Of
this community.
1t is only fair to assume that in the
majority Of cases, possibly the parents OF
the children are unaware Of their where
abouts. This may seem incredible, but is
an easy problem. Jack gets permission
to study his history lesson with boy
friend, and Jill needs some help in her
number work" which classmate can
supply. and presently the pair are en-
joying the sights on the Avenue in COM
pany.
AS remedy for this great and growing
evil, the curiew law is proposed. Under
this law all persons below a specified age,
found purposely lettering upon the streets
after the curfew has rung, will be liable
to arrest. When once this has become an
established fact, no undue severity will
be needed to bring about reform. The
children will understand and hasten
home
Is is to be hoped that an officer will be
appointed to attend specially to this de-
partment of labor for the public good.

To Keep Young.

Keep in the sunlight; nothing beautiful
or sweet grows or ripens in the darkness.
Avoid fear in all its various forms of

ate, regular life.
Don't live to eat, but eat to live. Many
of our ills are due to overeating, to eat

Don't allow yourself to think on your
birthday that you are year older and
so much nearer the end.
Never look on the dark side; take SUM-

and keep clear of entangling alliances

Cultivate the spirit Of contentment; all

At your request | will give my views
about the Advantages of curfew law
for St. Johnsbury." While it will
probably make little extra expense
for the village if the law is enforced it
will be more than repaid by the in.
fuence it will have Upon the rising
generation. 1t is very much to a child's
advantage to have the influence of a
home rather than that of the street,
after nine or ten o'clock at night. If the
law is passed | am in hopes that every
one will see a decided improvement in
the ways of the children who come under
its age limit, and | am confident they
will. | think and earnestly hope the
parents will take an active part in this
matter and give it their attention and
serious thoughts and they will readily
see the benefit of the law and its enforce
ment, and in after years they will be
very thankful to the originator of the
idea.
For the uplifting Of the morals of the
children to higher standard l will sign

Editor of the CALIFORNIAN:
Though historians differ greatly in
their opinions as to the benefits derived
from the Curfew as the law was enac ted
in England, still it must be admitted,
that, everything considered it certainly
had many advantages, therefore hearth
ly approve of the agitation set on foot
by the members of the w. c. T. U. to es-
tablish curfew in our village.
Such law would benefit our children
and protect them from the many dangers
to which the pernicious habit of night
outings expose them; it would at the
same time exempt parents from many
anxieties.
The committee may count on my con.
currence to have the regulation passed.

Vermout,s soas and Daughters.

We can but ieel that Vermont has
strong hold on her sons and daughters
even after they have become citizens of
other states and are apparently lost in
the busy whrl OF lies struggle. On our
desk lies a manual of the Vermont Asso-
citation OF Boston. This tells the tale oil

open daily rooms to which all Vermont
ers, either visitors in the city or residents
there are cordially welcomed. The ia
bles are covered with Vermont papers,
the shelves are full OF Vermont books,
the walls are hung with likenessess of
Vermont's noblest men, and withal it is
a corner OF Vermont in the heart Of Bos-
ton. Are we Vermonters at home as
loyal to our state as they in foreign
lands p Orleans County Monitor.
The FIRE loss of the United States and
Canada for 1904 was stupendous. AS
figured by the New York Journal OF Com.
merce and Commercial Bulletin. which is
an authority it was 1852 ,364 $50, more
than any year since 1871, when the
great Chicago confagration established
a high record that never has been sur
passed. Three great fires, Baltimore,
Rochester, and Toronto are mostly re.
sponsble for this huge total, they alone
aggregating a loss OF the average for the
last ten years by eighty-six millions, yet
even without these the years total would
be the largest in thirty years, and ex.
ceeds nearly twenty millions.
The Moody schools at Mortified have
been running on the principle of the ru-

In the beginning the funds were sufficient
to permit the furnishing OF an education
at less than cost. But the school has
grown so that the deficit was SIT 900

success in raising the necessary funds to
continue the present system of charges

.PAROLED PRISONER
CAUGHT IN THE ACT

While night marshal j. j. Schultz
was making his rounds in the business
section of the city about O'Clock last
Sunday morning his attention was at
tracted by peculiar noise in the rear
of the Central block at 5l3-5l5 Main
street and on going into the alley at
the rear discovered a man saving a
panel out of the door of Craig Bros.
clothing store with the intention of
committing a robbery. The officer
managed to slip upon the burglar with
out attracting his attention and at the
point of revolver made him pris-
oner. Grasping the would-be robber
by the right shoulder the officer start
ed towards the calaboose with his cap
tive. After they had proceeded in
this way about a block the prisoner
suddenly divested himself of his coat
by skillful twist of his body and
darted down an alley in the darkness,
leaving the carmen. in the hands OF
the officer. Several shots were fired at
the fleeing man but without effect and
he made good his escape. On search
ing the pockets of the coat, which
came INTO his possession so unexpect-
ediy, the officer found that the name
of the man who had gotten away from
him was A. Green and that he was a
paroled convict Of the penitentiAry,
and had only been out of that institu-
tion since the 10th of last month.
Green has the reputation of being an
adept at burglary and served his first
term in states prison for an offense Of
that character.

FRANK HASSAN WILL
WORK FOR HIS BOARD

The horse and buggy stolen from the
premises of Mrs. Levesey, at 800 North
Fifth strret, on Wednesday night Of
last week, were found in possession Of
a Mexican, who gave his name as Frank
Hassan, near Pueblo, two days later
and locked up pending the arrival Of
an officer from this city with a warrant
to bring him back to explain his con-
nection with the affair.
The chief OF police having commu-
nicated the fact of his arrest to the au-
thorities here, Under Sheriff John
Chetelat proceeded to Pueblo THURS
day and brought Hassan to this city
and placed him in jail to await trial in
the district court, which is now in
session.
The prisoner admits his guilt, but
says he intended to turn the horse loose
at Pueblo in the hope that it would
find its way home again. Hassan's ar
rest has solved the mystery connected
with the burglary OF the Leader Hard
ware store on the the 11th inst upon
which the police had been endeavoring
to find a clew for several days.
When taken into custody the accused
had on his person two Of the revolvers
stolen at that time, as well as several
knives, which were identified by the
owners.
Hassan says he threw the other arti-
eles into the Arkansas river below
Portland to prevent, as far as possible,
any suspicion Of his completely in the
robbery. Hassan says he was born 10
Old Mexico, but has lived in this coun-
try since 1897
Information has been fled against
him by the district attorney and his
case will bc called for triAl before the

ASSIGNEE COMBS
PAYS DIVIDENDS

On the recommendation OF Lafe
Combs, assignee Of the Canon Savings
bank, which closed its doors on the 7th
of last August, Judge NJ. s. Bailey Of
the district court last Thursday issued
an order empowering him to pay of
the balance due depositois in the home
savings department, amounting to
ST. 40 40, and settlement was made
with the creditors under the terms of
the decree on Monday of the current
week.
The balance alluded to by Mr.. Combs
in his petition to the court was held by
2o5 creditors, mostly women and chill
dren of small means, and its payment
in full arises from the fact that the
savings accounts were preferred over
those of other customers of the bank.
Owing to the hardship which the bank 8
failure imposed on patrons Of its savings
department a special disbursement Of
s. was made by President w. H. Nc
Clure to each depositor having more
than that amount in the bank, the
money for this distribution being pro-
vided by some charitably inclined lady
whose name has never been disclosed
to the public. Subsequently = divi-
dend of ten per cent. was paid by the
assignee, which still further reduced
the indebtedness Of the bank in rela-
tion to its savings accounts.
Although the visible assets OF the
bank were very small wheh its affairs
were turned over to Mr.. Combs as as
signee he has, by skillful management,
been able to cancel something over
S1I 600 Of its liabilities, diminishing
the amount due creditors from $40 900
to S3s 600.
1t is impossible to state how much
more can be realized from the bank Is
debtors to be applied to the liquidation
Of its obligations. but probably not
more than ten or fifteen cent. of the
amount it owes.
