A Ventilated Barrel.

1t is we'll known that the ordinary
barrel is not adapted for the shipment
OF perishable produce for long dis
tances. There being no means OF
ventilation, the produce rots In
short time and therefore becomes I'M
fit for SALE A Southerner has in
vented novel ventilated barrel that
is designed particularly for the ship
ping of spinach, kale and other garden
produce, an illustration Of which is
shown here. The barrel is light, strong
and durable, the ventilated openings
being so arranged that they will not
become clogged and closed by the con-
tents Of the barrel. The body OF the
barrel is composed of the two sets or
veneer slaves one set being arranged
within the other The other slaves,
which are spaced apart slightly, have
| straight parallel edges and when the
| slaves are bowed to form the bilge or

| space is formed. The outer slaves
have vertical ventilating slots, or open
ings at the center, these slots being
located between the middle hoops OF
the barrel, permitting the escape OF
| moisture and sweat from the contents
of the barrels. The inner slaves cover
the intervening spaces between the
outer slaves, making a barrel or great
| strength. The inner slaves are also

Mother Love.

He was deformed and ill., know;
From birth, poor lad, he had been so;
7 ALWAYS dressed him, but one day
A gentle friend led me- away.
A little while, she whispered. Nov,
Let us go in, dear, and see how
How nice he looks" 1 looked at him
In broidered white-my eyes grew dim.
To weep for him, they said, was wrong;
That he would never have been strong.
But always ailing, frail and weak;
I listened, patient, crushed, and meek
And answered not until the word,
IA burden" I distinctly heard;
At that my throbbing mother breast,
Where once those wee, pale lips had
pressed.
Revolted-I cried out, mo, no;
saw if you will, it's better so,
A thousand times and more, but I,
His mother dares that charge deny"
NV other children standing near
Are beautiful, beloved, and dear;
PUT him, by sacred, strange enthrall,
I loved the best, the best OF all.

serves as top.

entered the car and found her seat.
He set down her bag and turned with
outstretched hand. Nov for it," he
repeated, with desperate determine

Goodbye, Miss Elsie. I'm very
sorry you're going"
Then he paused. He still held her
hand; but the carefully rehearsed
speech refused to proceed. Elsie re-
garded him with grave, puzzled eyes,
but her lips were curved with the
smile that always seemed lingering
there or just about to come. Never
had the favor he feared to ask seemed
more desirable.

Eailinus of Young Engineers.

Charles f. Scott says it is easier to
train engineers than men with man
hoods quota of courage, backbone,
moral strength. college courses are
apt to give SO per cent to technical
subjects, and / per cent to culture
studies. When older men talk about
the value to an engineering student
of a debating society, of familiarity
with parliamentary practice, OF fuen-
cy in composition, of culture studies,
of the training in effective co-opera-
ton. of education as a means OF form
ing right habits and developing the
faculties as well as acquiring technl-
cal knowledge, the students in engin-
eering do not seem to know what
they mean" An engineer OF wide ex-
perience says that in selecting young
engineers for specific work he found
a greater number were lacking In
moral qualifications than in technical
ability.

PERRIEILo CASE.
Defense Will Be a Denial of Charges. Not an Alibi,

A turning poiat in the Perriello murder trial was reached this fore noon when the state rested its case and the defense began. The defense is a total denial of the charge. It was thought yesterday that 1t would be an alibi.
 Yesterday afternoon Luigi Capo- bianco, brother of Ciriaco, occu- pied the attorneys for the defense. He was most obstinate witness. The gist of his testimony was that at noon on the day of the murder, in stead of going to dinner, himself, Ciriaco and Perriello went to a sa- loon and helped themselves to the free lunch. They were employed by the Clock company. Having filled themselves with the free food, they sat down to glass of beer each and discussed plans for murdering the SolOmita brothers. Perriello was the principal one in the discussion. He was the head of the trio and told how easy it would be to shoot both the SolOmitas and escape. This pros pect of escaping, or If caught of get ting off with only few years i'm prisonment, runs all through this tale of a cold blooded murder.
 Angelo Celestino, a resident at present and for some months to come, of New Haven jail, was the first witness called for the defense. He testified that while Capobianco was in jail waiting to be sentenced, he was his cell mate one night. And Capobianco said he had received a letter, but could not read it.. Celes- tino read it for him. Saw it was from Antonio Solomita and to the effect that if Capobianco would swear that Perriello killed Angelo, he would find plenty of evidence to back him up.
 Celestino is serving years i'm prisonment for theft.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Had Lively Discussion Over Stairway
 at the Webster School.

The board of education held spe-
 cial meeting last evening for the pur-
 pose of taking definite action on the
 proposition to add to the Webster school This matter has been under
 consideration for some time. Vice Chairman Mcdonald presided. The plans were drawn by Architect Ash
 elm. Scarcely had the meeting open
 cd and MT Asheim unfolded his plans
 on the table than there was strong
 expression of difference of opinion
 between Commissioners Phelan and Loomis.
 | According to the plans the stair
 way in the addition is to be of wood,
 or combustible material, as 1t is in the old building. Commissioner
 Loomis objected to this, remarking that it would be menace to the safety of the pupils. Combustible
 material has no place in modern buildings and especially in public buildings, Commissioner Loomis COIL I tended, and it should not be tolerated i in Waterbury school house. | Commissioner Phelan contended
 that to change the proposition now would mean an additional expense ] of $500 and this sum the board
 could not provide for this work.
 Furthermore, the bids were already l high enough and there was not a
 penny to be spared. Five hundred
 dollars for fireproof stairway when
 there was no need of such a kind was out of the question.
 Commissioner Loomis said he saw
 no reason why the entire building should not be fireproof, and there was no earthly excuse for making | the new stairway menace to the I safety of the children in case of fire. Commissioner Phelan retorted that | there was very little chance of fire in school building in Waterbury, and there was just as much chance of a fireproof building going up in ! flames as a non-fireproof one. Commissioner Loomis informed I,.e commissioner that he did not know what he was talking about, and there was danger of warmer words being used when Chairman Mcdonald brought the discussion to a close. Commissioner Loomis thereupon moved that the stairway be made fireproof and the motion was defeat ed.
 It was then voted that the bids for the contract be presented to the board on or before April 16 and each bidder is to furnish a bond of ten per cent of his bid that he shall have the work completed on or before August 15 under penalty of $25 Q day for every day over that date.

PHILADELPHIA FIRE.
St Francis Xavier Church and Big
 Factory Burned. s4ga

PHILADELPHIA, March 29.-Hen- " H. Roelfs & Co.'S branch hat fac tory at Twenty-fourth and Green streets was destroyed by fire. The fire spread to St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic church, and that structure was burned. The roof of the church fell, carrying with it three ffremen, but none of them was seriously in- jured. A few seconds before the roof fell the Rev. I. J. Fleming, a curate. rushed into the building and saved the consecrated hosts and sacred vessels from the tabernacle.
 The fire wiped out the major portion of the church of St. Francis Xavier and destroyed the hat factory com pletely. The parochial residence and two dwellings near the church were damaged by flames and smoke. When the explosion occurred there were seventy-five children in the base ment of the church who had gathered to attend Lenten devotions. They es. capped without injury. About TOO pu- pills who were in the parochial school opposite the burning buildings left the schoolhouse in order. Several hundred workmen in the hat factory also es- capped. Three firemen were. .ipjured, by the falling walls, but their injuries are not serious.
 The explosion occurred in the tar
 
 ring room of Roelfs & Co.'S building, which is an old landmark. During the civil war it was Sharp's firearm fac tory and was purchased by Roelfs & Co. few years ago and converted in- to branch of their main factory. The building, five story brick structure. was soon destroyed.
 The force of the explosion blew the flames through the rear window of the church and set fire to the interior woodwork. The roof and interior of the church were destroyed. leaving ou- ly the walls and tower standing.

HOUSE HUNTERS AGAIN.
Springlike Days Set People Packing
 Up Their Household Goods.

The spring moving is now going on and as a consequence many are con sulting the limbs of the law to find out if there is any way to prevent tenants from moving out wifhour squaring up with the owner of the building. One man complains that his tenant is getting ready to skip with three months rent and others are getting stuck from one to two months.
 An attorney who has had a wide experience in this line of business, told client to-day that the only safe way to guard against a man that does not like to pay rent if he can help 1t is to notice him out about the first of March. Usually" he said. they pay up to that time but the ones who figure on moving and plan to beat the owner invariably come around about the first of April and make some excuse for noI paving. lf you don't take up the case right away these people get into you for two months, for they won't settle on May 1st either and then 1t will take a couple of weeks to sheriff them out. 1Ueu yOu ett sou '.soN ehV iNht M March and April and two weeks of May. and by the time you get the place cleaned and rented again you are out three months rent. If people who own buildings and have to deal with sharpers were up to the same they would take action to have such tenants vacate the premises when they owe nothing and then the most they could do would be to take two weeks rent"
 Of course because one is moving at this season it does not follow that he is a bad pay. because those who do pay as well as those who don't find it convenient to make change once in q while and the beats are by no means in the majority. Besides it is hard for a doubtful pay to get into n new home. so that even though one might not have any conscientious scruples about small things it is bad policy and if continued it is bound to work to the detriment of those who practice it.
