AN ELECTION FEATURE.
Thomas H. Cory Asked Voters to Elect
Him Mayor Of Montpelier.

MIN mayor OF montpelier.
A familiar feature Of the election in
Montpelier was the publishing of a cir
eular advocating the election Of Thomas

circular which appeared today was
headed "For Mayor Thomas H. Cory.

After asking why the city of Mont

one half the cost of laying sidewalks,
why assessments should be levied for
sprinkling streets, why the policemen
do not pick up garbage, etc, why The
chief of police does not search Deputy

and other questions, the circular at
some length cts forth the qualifications

ALL THE DIRECTORS
HAVE BEEN HELD
For Responsibility in Connection With
the Wreck Of February is, in
Which Is People Were
Killed.

New York, March 5.--The eoroner's
jury which has been investigating the
wreck Of February is on the New York
Central railroad in the Bronx as re.
suit Of which 20 persons met death, re-
turned verdict last night finding shat
the New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad company did not take all the
necessary precautions 10 guard its pas
sengers at this point and consequently
were culpahly negligent, and that the re-
sponsibility for the existing conditions
seems to be divided between the CON
struction and operating departments"
When Coroner Schwanneeke received
the verdict he turned to the jury and
asked:

ual responsiblef7

foreman.
"Then," answered the coroner, II win
hold the entire board Of directors of the
New York Central, and also the presi-
dent, and win parole them until tomor-
row morning at ten o'clock, when | shall
accept BAIL.
This verdict was rendered last night
after over two weeks investigation by
the coroner and a jury, during which
many witnesses have been called. The
coroner's jury finding contained eleven
sections, and related that "the derail-
ment was caused by portion of the
track consisting of its easterly rails be.

Of the Brewster express
The jury also declared that the train
was running at speed @in excess Of
what has proven to be safe for such
train on a track laid TO the existing
curvature at this points, rails Of which
were fastened to the ties in the manner
in which these were proven to be fas-
tened.
Another section Of the finding recites
that the lateral pressure Of the train
running over the curve at the WoodIawn
road where the accident occurred cut of
the heads Of the spikes holding the east

Why System Of Workingmen's
Insurance is Needed
SLAUGHTER IN INDUSTRY
Every Minute of the Yaer a Toiler Is
Killed OF Injured Enormous Eco
nomic Loss Involved and Misery
and Suffering IncalculabIe.

The newspapers tell each day ho
many head OF live stock have be Il
killed In the United States, but we
know almost nothing OF the death roll
Of human life through accidents In in
dustry. In other words, we have lost
our sense of proportion concerning the
value Of human life. Through the wear
and tear of industry one life is sacri-
feed every minute to industrial prog
ress, The cost Of production has been
reduced to science, yet the economic
loss entailed through the manning and
killing of the wage Garner has been en-
tirely lost sight Of.
England, Germany, France and
Switzerland keep perfect records OF
awful loss sustained by wage earners
through accidents in industry. The
United States, on the other hand, has
made scarcely any effort In this direc-
tion. Massachusetts, and New York are
the only states that have made any
progress In gathering statistics Of acci-
dents in industry. Pennsylvania has
investigated the losses in the coal
fields, and Illinois Is now engaged In
the same work. The interstate COM
merce commission knows how many
/ lives are lost on railroads each year;
but, on the contrary, we have no rec
ords Of how many lives are sacrificed
In the manufacture of the rolling stock
Of the railways.
Some years ago an estimate was
made Of the number Of accidents oc-
curing each year In Germany. The
first investigation showed three times
the estimated number, and, when COM
pleted, the actual number was six
times greater than the original esti-
mate. In France, where accurate rec
ords are kept, II has been found that
222124 workers were either killed or
injured, exclusive Of mining and rail-
reading. With population less than
one-half OF our own and with laws adj
mittedly quite perfect 1t is easy to see
that twice this number, or 444,24s,
would be a just estimate Of such acci-
dents in our own country, where our
laws are VIGOROUSLY inadequate.
From statistics compiled by the
American Institute OF Social Service,
gathered from every available source
in our own country, II has been found
that 536,165 are annually killed and in
jured In the United States or over one
minute These figures cover FIVE
great industries railroadlng. mining,
building, manufacturing and ugrieul-
I tl1re
| What these figures mean In misery
and suffering no man can estimate, but
we can at least determine the econom-
ic loss involved. In wages alone, esti-
mating the average earning capacity
at $500 annually, there would be a loss
az something like S200.000.000 in earn
ing power. The loss in production is
easily twice that sum. Recent expert
ments in New York and Chicago to re-
establish those who have been injured
show that fully 30 per cent possess
some earning power. At the present
time, however, they are not put to
work on a large scale, 50 that the loss
Is total. About 10 per cent Of the num-

OF checking the waste by preventing

at the forward end of a rotary resem-
bies the propeller of a steamship or a
giant electric fan, although, of course,
it has many more blades than either of
these.
The wheel of the average rotary
snow fighter is from = to II feet in
diameter and consists Of a series Of
hollow, coneshaped steel scoops, each
equipped with a knife-like piece Of
metal. AS the wheel revolves at high
speed, these blades strike the snow
and ice loosening it and throwing it
into the scoops. The wheel proper Is
inclosed In a metal hood, at the top Of
which is a square opening or funnel.
By the revolution of the wheel, the
snow caught up by the scoops is thrown
through this opening with great force,
and the funnel Is so shaped that the
STOW is hurled in an oblique direction
and caused to fall at distance Of from
30 to 100 feet from the side of the
track, according to the speed at which
the wheel is being operated. Moreover,
the hood is inclined inward, so that the
falling snow does not descend upon the
top of the rotary and bury the machine
III drift of its own making.
The rotary plow, like the oldfash.
ioned type of push plow, is propelled
by couple of powerful locomotives,
but the power for operating the great
propeller Is contained within the plow
itself. This is supplied by an engine
somewhat resembling marine engine,
but capable Of developing almost as
much power as a locomotive. The ro-
tary must withstand the force Of push
ing engines behind, as well as counter
act the side motion of the great whir.

and sides, as well as the framework,
are of metal, and the machinery is set
as near the ground as possible, In or
der to help STEADY" this energetic me-
chanical toiler. The weight of the av-
erage rotary complete with tender for
fuel and water, Is more than 100 tons.
At the forward part of the plow Is the

pilot who directs the operation of the
rotary and communicates the necessary
instructions to the engineers. Of the To-

Joseph ii. Choate tells lawyers that
they should be courteous In the cross
examination of witnesses. He also ex-
presses the judgment that rudeness
and discourtesy hurt the lawyers who
employ them. Lawyers as a class are
not loved. Most men at some time or
other have had disagreeable expert
ence with them and while they may
respect individual lawyers their feel
ings toward lawyers in the mass Is not
one of respect and affection. The
badgering Of witnesses under cross ex-
animation which small lawyers delight
in and which judges permit when they
should not is an old evil which creates
for the badgering lawyers the cordial
dislike not only of the badgered victims
but of most of the laymen who witness
the performance.

Probably the most picturesque phase
OF American railroad operations is
found in the manner in which the
steam roads of the West battle with
the giant snowdrifts of the mountain
regions. This novel activity is seen in
Its most spectacular form on the higher
levels of the Rocky mountains. The
largest rotary snow plow in the world
Is in service on that engineering mar
vel, the Moffat railroad in Colorado,
ana the manner in which it bores
through the great white banks that
block the steel-tracked highway has
solved one of the most perplexing prob
lens of operating a railroad more than
1000 feet above the level of the sea.
In the early days of railroading in
the region beyond the Mississippi river
the familiar hand shovel was the main
dependence for clearing the tracks, and
after every heavy fall of "the beauti-
full" an army of men that included ev-
cry available employe Of the road was
hurried to points where blockades
might be expected. Locomotives, In
Strings of two, three or four were also
hurled against the drifts in an effort
to dislodge the troublesome masses Of
Icy crystals.
AS a solution for this aforementioned
1nnkeshift some genius invented the
push plow, huge wedge-shaped struc-
ture on wheels, which bucks" the
drifts, impelled by the force of several
powerful locomotives behind it, and II
the snow barriers be not too heavy, can
force pathway through the mass.
est snow p1ows are ofttimes baffed
by the drifts in the mountains indi-
Gated the necessity for yet more pow
erful type of snow fighter. and thus in
time there was evolved the snow plow
known as the rotary, which has revolu-
tionized the methods of fighting snow
and is represented in the rolling stock
! of every railroad that Is liable to feel
the grip of the western blizzard.
In the principle Of Its operation the
rotary Is radically different from all
other designs of snow plows, for in
stead of being anything in the nature
Of scoop or shovel that shoves the
snow aside its chief working mechan-
ism consists Of monster wheel which
burrows through the snow. tossing the
more or less fieecy material In every
direction. The wheel or snow screw

Notices to the public are usually
made with little regard to politeness.
The wayfarer is likely to meet with
a warning or a caution couched in
strong but curt terms. "a Wanderer

by Is taken for granted and is ac-
knowledged.

IN OLD "LYCEUM" DAYS.
NONN~NN-NNN

The golden days Of the lecture plat
form are past, and the lecture bureau
is no longer the active feature or the
intellectual life that it was fifty or
even twenty-five years ago. AT one time
almost every town, East and West
had its lecture course each winter
Many were the adventures experienced
by the lecturers as they penetrated rne
provincial parts of the country to de-
liver their messages of wisdom OF
amusement. Sometimes a concert by the
Mendelssohn Quintet Club, or some
other musical organization, was SAND
wiched in between two lectures.
Thomas Ryan-a member of the ram
GUS quintet club-in "The Recollectlons
of an Old Museum" tells of the recep-
tion of a Young woman lecturer In a
small Wisconsin town
1t was a young mems society which
had summoned her, made up OF very
youthful members. When she reached
the station the entire association was
lined up to meet her, and she was cere'
moniously introduced, then and there
to each one. AS the weather was ex'
tremely cold, the process was an ordeal
This over, the leauer wiped his brow
and looked about as If asking what tt
do next. Miss Andrews suggested the
hotel A one-horse sleigh was produc
ed; the leader handed the lecturer In

She declined. saying he knew the horse
and way better than she. The youn,
man seemed relieved, and quite salts
fed that he had shown the guest Of tn,
society every courtesy possible.
That evening the whole associafdl
again met and escorted the lecturer t.
the hall. The room was packed.
On the stage was an old-fashione'
settee with legs in the middle and a
each end. When Miss Andrews sa
down the affair tilted with her.

and seated himself on the other end
