a college the year after, but that is
what happened to Hugh Brewer.

in evidence. Green was acquitted
the jury evidently being of the opin

the assault.

FIRE LOSS OF 100000.
Seven Business Blocks Burned at Rutland
Sunday.

Fire Sunday morning burned TO the ground
seven brick business blocks in the center OF
the city Of Rutland, making 90 families home
less throwing 100 people out Of employment
and causing loss Of 100000. The people
of Rutland are thoroughly aroused over the
apparent inability OF the fire department TO
cope with the flames and Mayor J. Forest
Manning has asked certain citizens 70 ofioi-
ate as q committee to assist the city council
to make rigid investigation Of the alleged
incompetenoy Of fire fighters and all claims
regarding the lack Of water and frozen by
drants The council voted 10 investigate A
committee Of citizens is also in charge OF the
relief fund for the homeless and poor started
with a gift OF $50 by mayor Manning.
The fire broke out in the Ripley building
on Merchants Row before daylight and was
discovered by three women who lived in the
building An alarm was at once given TO
the Ere department The fire spread through
the walls to the Mead building then to the
Baker building on Center street, continuing
through the Nonpariel building owned by the
futile company and the building occupied by
the latter company where the fire was
checked In the meantime the flames had
worked their way through the north wall OF
the Ripley building into the Cramton build
ing and also spread to the rear to the four.
story brlcR bulidlnE OF the combination store
facing on Willow street. All of these build.
ings were completely Quilted and most of the
walls fell or were blasted down. Here the
iremen checked further progress of the
flames. In response to a telegram so men
from the Whitehall, N. Y, fire department
came TO the aid OF the Rutland fremen with
a steamer and hose carts and rendered ex.
cellent service.
The Combination Cash Store company is
one OF the heaviest losers, and $4,000 will
not cover the stock and buildings The Mead
building, owned by DR.. John A. Mead, was
the largest mercantile structure in the city
and was worth $4,000, There was no in. I

Ism t it true that the nearer Vermont
gets to prohibition under the local OPP
ton law the stronger the law becomes
Randolph Herald.
Not necessarily. The strength of the
local option law lies in the fact that
experience has shown the people of
Vermont that it is the best measure for
the control of the liquor traffic. Under
it, it is possible for communities to have
pretty nearly what they want in the
way of liquor selling. That Vermont
has approached nearer to actual pro-
hibition under the law than it ever did
before, may be credit to the good in
tent of the people of the state, but the
law has merely made choice possible.
If a majority of the citizens of nearly
every town in the state should express
honest conviction in a yes vote this
year, the law would lose none of its
strength. The people can have what
they want under it and Vermonters, as
well as the citizens of other states, APP
preciate the privilege accorded them by
the local option law, of running the af-
fairs of their own communities

The Era does not believe that there
is very much danger of the state audi.
tor g books being paved over, as one
OF the state papers would have us be-
lieve, until they are as dog-eared and
dilapidated as a nine-year-old g spell
ing book. 1t won't hurt the auditor,
however, be his name Graham or what
not, to know that the books are likely
to be looked over at any and all times
by the interested citizen. Being their
proper and legally appointed custodian.
there is little danger that the auditor
is going to let any one, big or little.
abuse their privileges, and despoil the
states property.-Fair Haven Era.
Little damage to the state auditor IS
books is threatened by the recent de.
cision of the supreme court. The
great fault with Vermonters in their re-
lations with public affairs is that thew
have too little concern in state matters
and trust too absolutely in their Off
clals. They are too free to criticise
what they have neither courage nor
energy to investigate. If citizens
would talk less and take more definite
interest and action, state business
would be better managed. With all the
talk about extravaganza and misman-
agement, it is safe to count on immacu-
late and uniform books at the end of
he year.

A notable gathering is being held in
Washington this week, in the national
congress which has been called to con.
slider uniform divorce legislation. About
100 delegates, representing AZ states
and the district of Columbia, were
present at the opening session. Of the
three states unrepresented, one, South
| Carolina, does not permit enforcement
for any cause. This congress was called
by Gov. Pennypacker of Pennsylvania
who has been chosen its president. He
was authorized by the Pennsylvania
| Legislature to ask the cooperation of
the governors of OTTER states in this
movement, for which $4,000 was APP
propriated. Gov. Pennypacker says
that the object of the congress y to
secure as nearly as possible uniform
statutes upon divorce throughout the
United States, in which are granted an
nually more divorces than in any other
country on earth, except Japan. The
measure proposed by Gov. Pennypacker
provides that the causes of divorce
shall be of two kinds, ante-nuptial and
post-nuptial. The ante-nuptial causes
of divorces are as follows: Consan-
guinity or affinity within the fourth
degree of the table of degrees of the
civil law; former marriage by either
of the parties or a supposed or alleged
marriage where the former husband or
wife was living at the time of such
supposed or alleged marriape: fraud
force or coercion, unless the marriage
has been confirmed by the acts of the
injured party: hopeless insanity of
either husband or wife. provided that
the party compos mentis was ignorant
of the other IS insanity at the time of
the marriage. The post.nuntial canses
of divorce from the bonds of matri.
mony are outlined as follows: Bigamv.

Another of the laws of 1904 has beer

Another of the laws of 1904 has been
found ambiguous having been interpret
ed in different ways by the state super
intendent of education and the attor-
ney-general. The law in question is No.
81, and the point at issue is whether or
not a person who has thoroughly com
pleted the elementary course and de-
sires to pursue a commercial or bust
ness course in high school or academy
may claim the privileges of said law,
The state superintendent said yes, but
the encouragement overruled his opin-
ion with a no. In a communication on
the subject, the superintendent very
patiently "trusts that the legislature
of 1906 will so revise and construct
the school laws, that a diversity of
opinion and Interpretation of school
matters shall not occur We hope his
trust will prove well founded and that
other matters beside the school laws
will be made plain. If the state super
intendent of education can not inter
pref a law correctly, how is the ordi
nary unframed citizen to do so?
