Inspectors Estes ana Saunders began
an active campaign yesterday morning
for the enforcement OF the new law.
Inspector Estes said last night that the
inspectors had found d good disposition
on the part Of the merchants Of The City
10 help them. The large department
stores are responding freely 70 the de-
mauds of the law, and in one depart
ment store alone. according 10 Mr..
Estes, about seventy young workers
have been furIoughed until such time
as they are able 10 secure permits
Hard on Small Stores.
The grocery and drug stores or the
city are said to be experiencing the
most trouble over the new law. as they
are required 10 keep open long hours.
1t has been suggested that the only way
in which these stores can properly OBJ
serve the law is to work two shirts OF
boys. Under the law no boy can work
IN a store more than eight hours day,
and none can work before g O'Clock ia
the morning or after Z o'clock in the
/ evening.
The double shift is hardly feasible, 1t
is claimed, because Of the hour at
which the boys must quit work for the
Gay, as the drug stores especially re-
CURE help after Z o'clock. The officials
| recognize the embarrassing position of
I the storekeepers. and plans have been
under discussion for their relief. but
so far without effect.
Boys Apply for Badges.
All day yesterday and until 10 o'clock

r. M. DEMO DROWNED.
Robert NJ. DEMO, Telephone In
spector, Perished in Ten Feet
- of Water

Vergennes, May 11.-Robert M. DEMO,
local inspector for the Champlain Valley
Telephone company, was drowned about
twelve o'clock today near the Albert
Larrow farm in Ferrisburgh. Mr.. DEMO
started from here this morning to make
repairs on the Scranton line and in eros
sing piece of road (called the "slang,0
covered with water, he drove off it to his
death, the horse also drowning.
His cries for help were heard by Ches-
ter Hawkins, who was ahead of him 40
rods, and he hastened to Denios relief.
He found DEMO struggling in the water,
and on the point of sinking. Hawkins
made every effort in his power to reach
the drowning man but failed and Denio
sank in about 10 feet of water.
Hawkins at once notified Selectman G.
A. Chapman, who summoned E. A. Pres
ton, first selectman, and the health Off
Ger, DIR. Lane. A post mortem was held
and the body was brought to undertake
| ing rooms in this city.
| 1t was found that the dead man had
on his climbers and belt containing all
his tools, the whole outfit weighing prob
ably Is pounds which no doubt made it
| impossible for him to save himself.
The road where DEMO perished is re-
ported covered the greater part of the
way with water to the depth of about
three feet and where the accident oc
Cured it is reported that the railing has
been washed away. 1t is also reported
that the road has not been considered
safe and sign abouta mile, or mile
and half from the scene of the acci-
dent bears the following: 1.-THE Slang
bridge not safe" Notwithstanding this,
the road has been continuously used by
| farmers living in that section.
Mr.. DEMO was "a years old. He had
been in the employ of the company about
five years and had been stationed here
about IA year. He was of excellent hab-
its and universally respected. He is sur
vived by his parents, who reside in Sails
bury, and by brother and sister. -

established. A competent and expensive
company is required to give an adequate
Interpretation of the various characters.
The great sensational scene in a Jail
yard, where convicts are at work re-
building a wall beside a railroad. In
this scene locomotive and twenty
freight cars cross the stage. AS the
train passes the wall, one of the convicts,
standing on the top stones, leaps for
liberty to the roof of the car. A guard
fires, but misses, and the prisoner lis
soon free. The convict is a "Weary
Willie" who is played by Geo. j. Ell
more, and presented by him over 1000
times. who finally becomes wealthy and
happy. his innocence being proven by the
confession of the dying murderer, who
leaves all his property to him. His
daughter marries the man whom she has
