IN OUR OWN STATE
THE DELEGATES FROM VERMONT.

James F. Hooker In List OF Those Who
viii Attend Convention on Interstate
Commerce Law.
Gov. Bell has appointed the following
delegates to represent Vermont at the
convention on interstate commerce law
to be held in Chicago, October 20: Fuller
G. Smith, st. Adams; George II. Bick-
ford, Hardwick; T. L. Kinney, South
Hero; Frank c. Partridge, PROCTOR James
f. Hooker, Brattleboro; Albert w. Sllsby,
Newbury. The object of this convention
is to endeavor to impress upon Congress
the extent and persistence of the demand
of the people of all parts of the country
for legislation outlined in the Presidents
last annual message, in which he says;
"The interstate commerce commission
should be vested with the power, where
given rate has been challenged and
after full hearing found to be unreason-
able, TO decide, subject to judicial review
what shall be a reasonable rate to take
effect Immediately and to obtain unless
and until it is reversed by the court of
review" In short, the convention will
probably be called upon to pass resolu-
tions commencing the big stick policy Of
the President in his attempt to give every
body square deal.

THE STONE INDUSTRY.
Vermont's Splendid Showing During
Four Years Ending With 1so4-Led In
Marble ProduetIon BY Wide MARGIN.


A pamphlet just issued by the depart
ment of the interior, United States Geo
logical survey entitled "The Stone In
dustry in 1904" gives some very interest
ing facts and figures about the stone
products of the various states for the last
few years.
BY the table showing the value of
marble produced from 1900 to 1904 in
elusive, il is found that Vermont has led
for the four years tabulated, and that
there has been a marked increase since
1900. In that year the value was 50, asa
$685. in 1901 it was 50, ,5S3; 1902, 81, $685.
1884, 1908, S3,011, sos; 1904, $1,000, 669 YER
monts nearest rivals during this period
were Tennessee and Georgia, in both cases
their production being only in the neigh
borhood of half million year.
In the production of granite for the
same years Vermont was second, Massa-
chusetts leading Vermonts total was
S2,441979. In 1903 Vermont was third
but last year the production increased
and Maine went to thiId place.
In slate production Vermont showed a
handsome increase from 1900 to 1903, in
elusive, but fell back a peg in 1904. The
figures are: 1900 S9l7462; 1901, $1,162,
191; 1902, 81 ,464,91S; 1908, 1882, 652; 1904
81 ,4OS, isl. In every instance Vermonts
yearly production OF slate was more than
fifth the total of the United States,
and Pennsylvania was the only state that
ever surpassed her in the five years
quoted. The decrease in 1904 was ac-
counted for by less demand and lower
prices. Pennsylvania feeling the same en-
barrassment.
The records show that in spite of the
strikes of some duration in this vicinity
in 1904, that year showed an increase in
marble output over 1903 of $685. 164.
Vermont is way down on the limestone
list; the total production for 19O0-19O4 be-
ing only 81, 003, 999, while some other
states are in the multimillions.

900 worth to send later, as they would
have made a package too bulky. It was
noted by the police that only about $780,
900 worth were negotiable.

gated the case are Of the opinion that the
victim at Winthrop was a person younger
than Miss Goodell.

MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
Went Calling With a Ladder.

Green-eyed jealousy and red liquor very
nearly landed William II. WEIGH, jr., Of
Millers Falls behind the bars Saturday,
when he was arraigned in the district
court at Greenfield charged with breaking
and entering with intent to steal The
trouble took place at the house of Lewis
Sylvester in AIillers Falls recently. Miss
Flora X. Smith testified that Welch en-
tered her room late in the night and Mr..
Sylvester, who was sleeping on the floor
below testified to hearing her screams
when Welch was discovered in her room.
Mr. Welch took the stand in his own be-
half and said that he left the hotel about
II O'Clock in the night after having quite
a bit to drink" Coming in sight Of Mr.
Sylvester's house he saw a light in Miss
Smiths room and as he had been an ad
mirer of hers a feeling Of jealousy took
possession Of him to such an extent that
he was moved to see who was in her
room. The light had been turned down
low by Miss Smith. Taking a ladder he
went to the house, set up the ladder,
broke through the screen and entered the
house. Miss Smith screamed as she be-
came aware of some one having passed
through into the room adjoining hers.
Whereupon Mr.. Welch said he requested
her to shut up and promised to go. TAX
ing the ladder he started back with it,
and coming to the railroad track stubbed
his toe and in the fall which ensued was
struck by a passing train and had a few
ribs broken. He was taken to the hospi-
tai at Greenfield, where he remained un-
til Saturday. 1t was rather of a sad
sequel to his amatory and wholly pacific
errand. as he claimed that ne acted wholly
free from any idea of committing a
burglary or doing any wrong He drank
freely through the day. and to that must
be credited his downfall Mr.. Welch
claimed to nave had plenty of money most
OF the time, but in reply to questions by
the court as to the amount, usually put
it at 35 cents Judge Field said he was
unable to find probable cause and Welch
was left free to follow his own devices.

halfway round, and It drains entirely
into the pail, as you can see by the
sketch OF the spout piece alone This
part fits snugly into the pail spout,

ject is to provide a pan in which all

Of metal, stamped or folded, about

plished without scanning, soldering OF
rlveting, insuring economical con.
struction, yet forming a steam. air

suggests the multiple baking pans
that have been brought out for round
loaves. Most, II not all, Of these have
continuous end flanges which is
claimed prevents the circulation of
hea. back and forth between the diff
ferent sections. which circulation is
very desirable in order to insure uni.
form baking. Despite the square shape
Of the loaves produced by the pan Il.
Illustrated, there is no difficulty in re.
moving them without breaking the

just one.half the section Of each loaf.
