Mrs, Emily c. Toilette emphasized the

has about 100 members.
f. NJ Butler OF East Jamaica stated
that probably 80 per cent OF those who

built TO accommodate such students at

has been brought before the village OF
Brattleboro for a great many years and
that II should be settled right, as 1t
ought to be a system that wiz be Of the
right quality and quantity 10 last the
village of Brattleboro for all time.
The members OF the board have not
seen at TO say anything before In the
papers in regard to this, for they have
wished to exhaust every EFFORT In an en-
deavor to make some Kind of deal with
Mr.. Crowell, but they have found this
to be impossible as in their judgment
he is unreasonable in his price, for last
spring he offered what he now has for
$275, 900, and in that offer he agreed to
sewer North pond satisfactorily to the
state board of health.
New II It is going to cost the village
of Brattleboro interest on $1,000 or $4,000
a year to cart OFF this sewerage, this
should be deducted from his offer OF last
spring Also as the quantity OF water
has been proven insufficient. there should
be some deduction made on account of
this, which should at least bring the
amount down to $3.50, 900. on the con-
trary, Mr. Crowell does not show a dis
position TO want TO trade with the viii
lage and has marked up his price to
1896, 900. And his counsel says that ne
does not advise Mr.. Crowell to take that
price even as he feels sure that he could
get more than that by arbitration.

Financial Agent Will Work to
Raise an Endowment Fund
Meeting Held at the Brooks House Of
People Interested In the Institution at

Meeting Held at the Brooks House Of
People Interested In the Institution at
Townshend.
A meeting OF persons interested in the
welfare Of Leland s. Gray seminary OF
Townshend was held at the Brooks House
Monday afternoon and as result the
institution seems likely to take new
lease Of life. H. ID. Holton, president OF
the board Of trustees, called the meeting
to order and after the election of Mrs.
Emily c. Toilette as secretary pro tenn,
H. Ward Lewis, principal of the seminary,
stated that the object of the meeting was
to discuss and devise means for in
creasing the endowment OF the school.
He outlined the present needs which IN
clude another assistant teacher, dor
mitory a chemical laboratory with
running water, more apparatus for The
physics department and a larger library
The standard of scholarship has been
raised and the three regular four-year
courses, classical, Latin scientific and
English, have been arranged, but In order
to compete with other schools In New
England more funds are necessary. Last
year a change was made in the basis OF
paying the principal. Formerly the
school was leased to him and he realized
what he could from the buttons after
paying his running expenses. In con-
sequence pupils deficient in department
and scholarship were often allowed In
the school for the sake Of their tuition.
Now the principal is given stated sal
airy and although deficit Of 5000 was in
CURED by this arrangement the standing
Of the seminary was greatly improved.
F. w. Willard, treasurer of the board,
cold of the advantages which Leland q
Gray offers to the young people OF the
West River valley 1t is situated in a
quiet little village in the very heart OF
and moral atmosphere. He estimated
that at least two-thirds of the students
now in the school would not receive the

Demonstration Of the Eastman Nozzle.

Demonstration OF the Eastman Nozzle.
practical demonstration of the new
Eastman deluge set recently bought by
the bailiffs for the fire department was
given Friday night and those who wit
messed the tests are satisfied that the
village has made a good investment.
Trials were made on Flat street and at
the Estey shops, where the Estey pump
Ing apparatus was used and a solid Two
inch stream was thrown. At the hydrant
on the corner of Main and High streets
three lines OF hose were attached and the
streams thrown upon the roof of the town
hail. A comparison between the eff
cheney Of the old and the new outfits
was made by attaching an Eastman nozzle
to one side Of the hydrant and an old
fashioned nozzle to the other side and
turning on the water simultaneously. The
stream from the old nozzle began 10
scatter as soon as 1t left the aperture and
soon spent its force while the Jet from
much greater height. The difference Is
due to the peculiar construction Of the
Eastman, which, instead OF destroying
the natural whirling motion of the water
increases IL. One of the chief advantages
OF this system lies in its efficiency I'm
handling big fires. Its couplings are so con-
structed thar the water from two or more
hydrants can be combined in one stream
or all three OF the village steamers can be
attacheu TO one nozzle, thus utilizing
their united force.
The tests We're made under the Iii
rectcn OF Mr.. Robinson of Concord, n.
H., representing the Eastman company,
ana Chief Sanders OF ube hre department.
The entire board OF bailiffs was present
and placed upon the results it's stamp of
approval.

GORKY SUFFERING
FROM C0NSUMPT T|0N
Russian Writer is Going West
to Live
WRITING AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Fears He viii Grow Weaker and He
Wants to Get His Work In the
Publishers Hands Before
Leaving New York.

New York, April 1l.--A statement that
Maxim Gorky is very i'll with consump-
ton and that he came to America to re-
gain his health, not to secure assistance
to obtain the freedom of Russia, was
made in his behalf by an interpreter to-
day. The statement follows:
"Gorky wishes me to tell you that he
is a very sick man, suffering from con-
sumption. He came to America not in
the hope of getting assistance to free Rus
sia, but to regain his health. He will go
to Denver or California in a few weeks
While he remains in New York he ex-
poets to work out his autobiography, so
that he may put it in the hands of a pub
Usher here before going away
He desires to have his work finished
now In case he should not be able to re-
cover his strength. Mr.. Gorky has been
out of Russia for some time, and has no
idea of the actual status of the country
at this time. He does not think that the
prospect of a successful revolution is very
bright. He thinks that the best future for
the Russian is in moving out of Russia. !"
