more artistically staged and mounted
than is the "Ranee Of Oudh,' the last
Minneapolis performance of which will
be given at the. Metropolitan theater

upon by all, and Sas a complete scenic
production this opera will stand out

afternoon after the statue of the mar

unveiled by Mrs. Longworth.
The prompt action of the commit

as most fortunate, for the crowd was
beyond control and the shrieking of
women and children caught in the
crush was rapidly working the crowd
into a frenzy. Many women tainted
and were carried out of the crowd
by the police Two were so badly
hurt that they had to be removed
In an ambulance.
Throughout the exciting scenes Mrs.
Longworth remained cool and self-pos-
sessed, but afterwards said: ct was

around the world"
The committee on arrangements had
expected an enormous crowd on ac-
count Of the presence Of Mrs Long
worth, hut in view of the so4emnity
and dignity Of the occasion, they be-
ieved the crowd would be easily kept
in restraint. Under ordinary circum-
stances the police arrangements
would have been adequate but the Of
hcers quickly found they were power
less to cope with the great throng.
Governor Harris attempted to quiet
the crowd keep back" he shouted
you are crushing these people in
front to death" The governors voice
could not be heard 20 feet away, how
ever on account OF the din The COM
motion then became so alarming that
those on the stand asked Mrs. Long
worth to come forward in the hope
that a glimpse of her mighty satisfy
the crowd. She came to the front of
The stand, and it was seen at once
that something must be done and it
was decided tc unveil the statue at
once. Mrs, Lorgworth then pulled the
ribbon attached to wires which drew
the flags covering the statue aside. A
man, hoisted on another's shoulders,
grasped the ribbons and the wire and
they were quickly torn into fragments
by relic seekers.
MIR and Mrs. Longworth had an ex.
citing experience in escaping from
the crowd at the capitol From the
speakers stand they went through a
window overlooking the platform into
the governors Office, but they were
scarcely inside when the people be-
gan to surge through the doors from
the corridors and the Office was quick
" filed. They then attempted to reach
an automobile which was waiting for
them on the street, but once outside
they were caught in a surglng crowd.
Finding no immediate avenue Of es-
cape, thsy fought their way out Of
the capitol grounds and across Broad
street into the Outlook building. There
they remainued until carriage was
secured and the police cleared a way
TO it, and they we're driven to the
Hotel Hartman. Later they took a
train for Cincinnati.

serious a menace as II seems.
Cigars. cigarettes aud pipes caused 90
fires. and smokers should be more careful.
Lamps lanterns aud candles caused 81 fires.
The fires from lamps alone, though numer'
Gus (65), caused damage only 10 the amount
Of s5,ilO, or little over $50 a fire. Flee
trio wires and lights caused 10 fires, but
these cost nearly as much as the 65 lamp

and electricity together. The safety

implies.
Taking il altogether IL may be said that
IL is defective ohimneys and hues various

are the cause OF over one.third Of the fires

Mr., Gibson Big Majority.

The handsome majority by which Err,
nest W. Gibson was chosen town repre-
sentative was no doubt surprise to
himself and to his friends. That he
would receive practically the solid re-
publican vote was foregone conclusion
in consideration of the fact that his OPP
ponent was democrat, but few, if any,
expected him to outrun the state ticket
in the way he did. Many of his old
friends, however, have expressed regret
that he was unwilling to seek election
on the regular republican ticket The
Reformer congratulates Mr.. Gibson on
his victory and believes that he will
represent the town in the coming ses-
sion of the legislature to the best of his
ability. However strong may have been
our desire to see the election of the
fusion candidate, and however much we
may regret Mr.. Gibson s apparent I'M
willingness to come out "square-toed"
in answer to the questions propounded
him last week, we are free to express
the opinion that he will make an able
member of the general assembly and
look after Brattleboro s interests in a
conscientious manner.

The only surprising thing about the

was its size, and there are many who do

The canvass of the republicans showed
about 1000 Proctor votes in Brattlcboro,
and of these IA were polled. The

Maine Must Protect Her Game.

1t appears that Maine is still in need Of
further measures TO protect her big game.
The number 81 hunters who go into her
woods increases each year, and with the
constantly greater slaughter OF game Maine
cannot hold her own much longer as q hunt
ing ground, unless some steps are taken
to limit the season. For the last few years
about $4,000 deer have been killed annually
and 500 moose. II is hard to believe that
deer and moose are bred in any such num-
bers each year. Considering the nearness Of
Maine to the great cities OF the east, and
the facility with which the hunter may get
into her woods, the sportsman probably OBJ.
tains more for his money than by going to
any other part Of the United States. This,
Of course, brings about more hunting each
year, but IL Maine allows the annual slaugh-
ter to go on at present rate 1t will not be
long before the sportsmen will have to go to
Canada where even II the cost Of hunting
game is greater, 1t is possible to find more
of IT, When the present restrictions were
adopted in Maine few years ago, II was be-
lieved that they would prove sufficient. The
coming season, which for deer opens on Oct.
and for moose Oct. Is, should demonstrate
whether this is So In the opinion Of many
sportsmen the time has arrived for still fur
ther limiting the hunting season in that
state.

New York city, September l, 1906.

The immense barns on the farm at Fair
haven owned by DR.. Thomas Mound of Rut-
land, which are among the finest in Rutland
county, were totally destroyed by fire Sat
urday afternoon, together with their con
tents. The fire caught from a gasoline en-
CINE which was used to pump water from a
well. The barns were all located close to-
gether and it was impossible to save any of
them The house was saved with great
difficulty Two barns owned by S. G. Eaton
were set afre by the sparks and burned.
G. NJ. Watts, for six years chairman of
the board of school commissioners and for
two years moderator and tax collector of the
town of Stowe, was arrested Friday night on
the charge of adultery. Mrs. Ida Benson
was also arrested on similar charge. The
trial was held Saturday afternoon before
Justice of the Peace T. E. Smith. States At
torney F. G. Bicknell prosecuted the case
and F. G. Fleetwood appeared for the re-
spondents. Both Mr.. Watts and Mrs. Ben
son waived examination and were bound
over to Washington county court in the sum
of 5000 each. Mr.. Watts has a wife and
two daughters. Mrs. Benson has husband
and one child.

Farmers Are AL Right.

iDhito
An exchange REGIONS that one reason why
there is such a scarcity Of help to be Sc
cured for the farm is that farmers are moi
considered as good as other folks. Such
reasoning falls fat in state like Vermont
In this state where agriculture forms one OF
the principal means of livelihood, the farm
err is not looked down upon. Instead he is
considered every whit as good as the rest
of us. The farmer may not don his white
linen and kid gloves to do the ordinary work
of his routine any more than the banker
wears overalls and frock in his counting
room But the fact that the one is attired
in frock and the other in white linen makes
no difference with the popular estimate Of
the man beneath the suit; nor is a man de-
meaned because he wisely chooses the gar
ments more fitted for his work. The clothes
do not make the nan here in Vermont 1t
is the mans character and ability that make
him.
Again, farming is not necessarily the
work of the unlettered and the unskilled.
Any man almost could conduct q farm after
a fashion, but it takes brain work to run
farm successfully, The same as to manage a
business successfully. Many of the farmers
of Vermont are well educated, judging from
the standard of book learning Vastly more
of them are educated in the hard school Of
experence-both in private and civic affairs
and well educated at that. The bulk OF
the men in public life in Vermont today
came from the farm. The legislature of the
state is very largely composed of farmers
and in spite of the little knocks that are
thrown at the average Vermont legislature,
it compares favorably with those of sister
states No, Vermont farmers as class have
