Mr.. Thatcher began to scratch his
head and to expectorate tobacco Juice
%copiously, and / suspected he was
wondering what the secret might be
that he was not to betray. So I made
haste to say:
is this stable yours?"

Pretty good business, eh, Dick?'

"Nothin' to brag on" said Thatcher
disparagingly. You don't make a
fortune running a livery stable in
these parts-times are too hard"
And then MI. Thatcher unbent, and
between periods Of vigorous mastica-
ton at his cud, introduced US to his
horses and eagerly explained the ad-
vantages that his stable possessed
over any other this side Of Oakland.

He said that theosophy, Christian

II will be noted In connection with
the above figures that following the
small pluralitles Of 1854 and 1892 the
democrats won the presidency. The
socialist vote In Vermont averages
about 1900 and the prohibition vote the
same.
This year the smaller parties will
have an addition in the Independence
League whose candidate for governor
Quimby f. Backus, has spoken fire.
quently during the campaign and has
received some assistance from Thomas
L. Hisgen, the presidential nominee.
The size of the vote for Mr. Backus
win be studied as bearing on the ma
tional result.
New York, Aug. 30-The outcome of
the election Tuesday In Vermont Is
awaited with keen interest at the head
quarters Of the republican and demo
cratic national committees In this city.
The showing made in the Green Noun
tain state In the matter of the num-
bers Of voters who go to the polls and
the gains or losses to their party In
comparison of the vote Of four years

the shaping of the campaign in all

INCINERA7oR GOOD
Superintendent Of Streets
Cronin Tells of Operation
in Seattle.
PLAN THREE MORE PLANTS
Finds Wood Block Pavemcnts Prov
ing Good Success-Taxes Here
Lower Than I'm West.

Superintendent of Streets William J.
Cronin has Just returned home from a
very interesting and enjoyable trip to
the Pacific coast In which he included
all the principal cities of the far west.
While In Seattle he was especially in
terested In the working of the city in
cinerator on account of the timeliness
OF the subject In this city The plant
has been in opera tion there since May
proving great success so far. The
only fault so far found Is the high cost
Of carting the garbage and refuse from
the extreme ends of the town which
represents seventy-f1ve per cent. Of the
entire carriage cost. To remedy this the
city officials now have under consider
alton the purchase of three more in
cinerators to be placed In different
parts Of the city. This experience Of
Seattle is interesting in view Of the
fact that the special aldermanlc com
mittee here has foreseen this same diff
purchasing more than one plant so as
to locate In different sections Of the
city to avoid the cost of. long distance
carriage.
While In Seattle Mr.. Cronin met sew
eral former New Haveners, including
Joseph Manning. brother Of the COM
missioner, who is now secretary Of the
King County Republican club; Louis
Rosenberg, brother of AL Rosenberg of
Congress avenue, and ex-Sergeant
Hayes, who Is now managing the Cadil-
lac hotel there and doing finely.
The city Of Seattle is operating Its
own asphalt plant and does its own
street work.
In San Francisco Mr. Cronin met
Charles Asher, brother Of Attorney
Harry Asher of this city. He was much
impressed with the way in which the
city is building up and says It is bound
to be one Of the greatest cities Of the
world
Los Angeles impressed him with the
beauty of its buildings and its enter
prise and Pasadena and the surround
ing cities were all very beautiful
| Mr.. Cronin praised Salt Lake City
highly as a beauty spot and also Den
yer. In ST. Louis he said he saw what
seemed to him the greatest railroad
station In the United States. In vari-
ous of the cities he noticed the wood
block pavements In use and says all
were proving satisfactory and he
thinks they will be found likewise sat
lsfactory here.
Regarding streets Mr.. Cronin says he
thinks New Haven's streets compare
favorably with those of most Of the
cities he visited. The tax rate he sale
Is lower here than in the large cities
Of the west. In the matter of buildings
however, we do not compare with the
western cities on account Of their new.
ness and hustle.
