pressed in village meeting and whether
the bailiffs would have the right to ap-
point day policeman If the village voted
no. Certain men didn't seem to under
stand that the village is governed under
charter, granted by the legislature OF
the state, and that that charter defines the
duties and powers Of the bailiffs. One
section gives them authority to appoint
a day policeman. The village meeting
could vote 300 to / against having day
police and the bailiffs would be entirely
within their prerogatives II they went
ahead and appoint one despite the vote,
as long as the bylaws Of the village re-
mained unchanged. And you can't change
bylaws by vive voce vote on direct
motion in a village meeting. vote like
the one taken Tuesday is simply an ex-
preston Of opinion and has no binding
force.

For a fall into an open cesspool. Fanny
F.. Baker of Bernardston has begun suit
against Louisa B. Adams OF Walpole, N.
H., asking for damages of $4,000. The
suit was filed Monday at the office of the
clerk of courts in Greenfield, Mass. Mrs.
Baker in her declaration states that
through the fall she sustained a broken
hip suffered much pain and anguish and
is injured for life She represents that
she was exercising due care and that the
defendant should have kept the cesspool
closed.
The flight of a number OF the witnesses
whose testimony is desired by the gov
ernment in the prosecution against the
beef trust is a tricky proceeding. The
federal grand jury on April 2S announced
the names and aliases of the missing
witnesses who are, or have been, in
foreign countries, In consequence OF their
absence the investigations of the grand
jury were suspended until Tuesday. but
IL is understood that indictments will be
reported whether the absconding wit
nesses appear or not. That certain OF
the witnesses have no legitimate business
in Canada at this time is indicated by the
fact that they are using assumed names.
The grand jury list gives the aliases used
The fugitives are officials holding high
positions in companies combined in the
beef trust. 1t is evident that the gov
ernment's case will be obstructed as much
as possible by the defense.

Robert w. Bowen. United States minis-
ter to Venezuela, has been ordered by
the state department to come to Wash
ington at once to explain charges grave
ly affecting the personal integrity OF his
superior officer, Francis b. Loomis as
sistant secretary of state. II is under
stood that charges preferred by Mr..
Bowen are on file at Washington, but
the New York Herald, i'm it's dispatches
from Caracas, states that Bowen accuses
Loomis, while United States minister in
Venezuela. with receiving money from
the New York and Bermudez Asphalt
company, presumably as a bribe to exert
his influence i'm behalf of the company;
that he brought claim against the Ven
ezuelan government for a trivial sum and
then sought to collect the full amount,
about $4,000, on the strength of his posi-
tion as the representative of the United
States; that he agreed with private
creditor OF the Venezuelan government
to secure a settlement OF a claim for
$40 600, 600 against that country i'm re-
turn for commission Of about one
seventh that amount. Mr. Loomis has
made a specific denial Of each charge
II is not expected that Mr.. Bowen win
return to Venezuela, as his action in
giving out the charges for newspaper
publication is unquestionably sufficient
cause for his removal from office.

Milford, Me, a small village on the
Penobscot river was swept by fire Fri
day, a church, the Maine Central railway
station. town hall, three stores and Is
dwellings being destroyed
The towns of Laredo, Texas, and New
Laredo, Mexico, on the Rio Grande
river, were devastated by a tornado Sat
urday. Over 100 persons were killed, and
several hundred were injured Fifty rail-
way coaches were blown away. and it is
estimated that over $50 houses were de-
stroyed, while nearly every structure in
the two towns was damaged. Twenty
five people were killed in the collapse of
a single hotel.
The body of Charles Johnson, his
hands clutching the handle of a bicycle,
was found Sunday in Tameacha pond
at Middletown, Conn, which is only four
feet deep at the place where the body
was discovered. Johnson's feet were en-
tangled in the wheels Of his machine and
1t is probable that while riding at a rapid
rate along the road bordering the pond
his wheel slipped down the embankment
and he was drowned before he could free
himself.

The News is inclined to the opinion
that James Fisk Hooker. first selectman
Of Bratteboro, is working for the best
interests Of his town i'm opposing the es-
tablshment OF state consumptives'
hospital in that village. While there
would be no good reason for 1t. the fact
that people were brought there from all
over the state for treatment of this
dreaded disease, would probably be de-
trimental to the best interests OF the
town. Mortified News
This matter is open to discussion on
broad and intelligent lines. with only the
most desirable action in view. In Rut-
land, Mass, where state consumptives
home was established, treating hundreds
of patients yearly, the country town is
known to the world at large through
the institution more than through any
other source. Naturally summer Yaoa-
tionists, on pleasure bent, cross Rutland
of their list Of towns desirable to visit.
But. as we understand, the conditions
with the proposed Austine sanatorium
would be entirely different. 1t would not
be a large institution, it would be built
on high and isolated ground. where
patients would be given the opportunities
of out door life and the surroundings
and care conducive to a return to health.
Townspeople and visitors here would
know no more about the white plague
through the hospital than they do today.
There is certain duty, too. to perform
toward the people afflicted. Are we to
slam the door in their faces and put up
another bar to their hopes? Isn't there
more danger to the public at large from
one patient, who goes about the streets
daily. throwing his sputum right and
left, so that it may be waited by every
breeze into the air we breathe, than from
25 or so patients under proper treatment
and segregated from our community life?

Editor of The Phoenix:
Dear Sir:-The curtain has rung down
and the village meeting is over but this is
the first opportunity possible to say
word in regard to the statement of W.
II. Vinton in last weeks issue OF your
paper. ! desire TO make this declaration,
that the statement which he makes and
signs his name to that the day police
was put on to in any way influence the
yes" vote is absolutely without founda-
tion and cannot be contradicted in too
strong terms. The day police was put on
at the urgent appeal of many Of the
prominent citizens at that time.
In regard to my circular answer to Mr..
Davenport's circular. l will state that
this is absolutely what I denied. I can
not recall the statement that ! made to
him nor the time or place he refers to-,
however. l consider that Mr.. Davenport's s
statements are probably all right, IL 1
stated that day police would help the
license law, for law and order are a help
to every good law.
Regretting exceedingly that this viii
lage election has caused any personal
feeling, / still have the high honor of
being a citizen Of the village of Brat
tleboro. c. r. CROSBY.

The project for the erection of bronze
statue OF the late Senator Quay of
Pennsylvania at the capitol in Harrisburg
has given many papers an opportunity
to fire invective and sarcasm at the
memory Of the man who for years domi-
mated politically one OF the greatest states
OF the Union. The unkindest cut came in
the reference Of a Philadelphia journal
to the effect that the statue should repre-
sent Senator Quay in his favorite attitude
Of shaking a plum tree.

Carp as a Fish Diet.

During the meat famine it is stated
that people in the middle West turned
to a freshly water fish in that vicinity
called carp" Carp, though quite a
common fish, does not seem to be very
palatable. This is what one Western
paper says:
Clean the fish nicely and let It dry
two days in the sun. Nail the fish to a
pine board and cover it thoroughly with
salt. Let 1t stand for two days longer,
and then put in an oven and bake slowly
for six hours. Then remove the nails,
take the carp from the board and throw
it away, eating the nails and the board,
which are said to be the best part of the
fish.

People with thirsts to assuage had ex-
pected that an oasis would exist across
the river. 1t isn't customary to cross a
river TO get to an oasis, but that's the
way the conditions loomed up locally. But
expectations were blasted on Friday
night, when II became known that F. c.
Gale & Co.'S saloon at the end of the Con-
necticut river bridge, known as the brew
cry, was going out of business. Gale &
Co. s license expired May /, but as a spec
ial town meeting was in session in Hins-
day to fix license fees II was necessary
to close Friday. Gale & Co. had expected
their license to be renewed up to Friday,
when they received notice by telephone
from Col. II. w. Keyes, one OF the New
Hampshire state license commissioners,
that after a consideration of the case the
commissioners did not see how they could
grant them a license. There was some
talk in reference to a hearing, but 1t is
not expected that one will be held, and it
is the general belief that the brewery will
be closed as long as Brattleboro remains
In the prohibition column. The notifi-
cation to Gale & Co. came only six hours
before the time when it was necessary
for them to close, and the concern was
left with a stock of liquors valued at
$4,000 to $4,000 on hand.
1t is understood that the influence Of
the Boston & Maine railroad company
was a factor in the refusal for new Ii
censes, prominent business men of Brat
tleboro having requested President Tuttle
and other high officials of the railroad
company to recommend to the New
Hampshire commissioners the action
which has now been taken.
1t will now be necessary for men with
bibulous proclivities to make journeys
out of town If they wish liquor for any
thing except medicinal purposes. The
drug stores have their licenses so that
they may sell on a physicians prescrip-
tion. The bar at the hotel in Guilford
was closed on May l when the license eX-
pired. Warner II. Barrett, the lessee,
who has held licenses of the second and
third class the past year-to sell beer.
ale and light wines over the bar, and to
sell by the bottle-has made application
for a first-class license, and a hearing
has been set by the commissioners, to
be held at the Broad Brook House Mon
day, May Is, at 2 p. m. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Barrett's license will be granted,
and that the hotel in Guilford, three
miles away, will be the nearest point to
Brattleboro at which liquors may be sold
legally.

affairs, was the principal speaker at the

An idea Of the commercial value OF a
technical education may be drawn from
the statement that OF 1856 men graduated
from the Massachusetts Institute OF Tech
nology ten years ago one-third are receiv-
ing $4,000 a year, ten get $4,000 a year
and one has the extraordinary salary
OF $35, 600 a year. The greater number
are earning between $500 and $4,000 a
year. This is considered better showing
than could have been made a generation
ago by graduates Of any classical in
stitution in their first ten years after
school. 1t is said that for several years
every member Of each graduating class
at the Massachusetts, institution has
been engaged for a position before re-
ceiving his diploma

rooms on the Twenty-first street side
and three store rooms fronting on
Main street. The second and third
floors are divided into four seven
room flats for each floor. Each fiat
has a separate entrance and the i'm
provement is strictly modern in ar
rangement and equipment, having
polished floors, recessed sideboards and
cooling closets, bath rooms electricity
and gas. Electric switches CONTROL
ing the lighting facilities are pro-
vided, and automatic devices have
been installed which afford the oc-
cupants of the flats control of the
entrances from the landings. Electric
buttons and speaking tubes connect
with each fiat and communication can
be had with a caller without de-
scending to the door. A combination
stairway affords independent access
to the third floor.
All of the flats are occupied and

of similar structures that have driven
