CURRENT COMMENT.
Stimulating Churches.

In commenting the action of the
Vermont Domestic Missionary society
in It's vote TO aid Congregational church
es IN the state whose minimum salary
Is $500 aud parsonage the Vermont
Missionary snys The plan goes upon
the supposition that after church has
raised all they think they can, it may
bo found possible to do little more,
II the right stimulus be applied. Some
years ago small community in the
state gave the last cent it was possible
TO raise for the erection Of little
chapel AZ this critical moment of ut
ter financial exhaustion a rival parish
put spire upon their church, and with
case aud clncrity money was raised for
a little stceple The plan contemplates
stimulating churches to put little
steeplc upon their salaries. For time
it may be well to divert zeal from i'm

The Automobile in Rutland

The Vermont law against running
automobiles ia cites and villages at a
speed in excess Of ten miles an hour is
violated hundreds of times every day.
Either the limit ought to be raised TO
fifteen or twcny miles an hour or SONS
effort should be made 60 punish offend
ers. At present the law is absolutely
disregarded. A good way to Judge the
speed o. an automobile is 20 compare it
with the speed Of man running. II the
car is travelling faster than man can
run the driver is breaking the law. A
runner who covers hundred yards in
ten seconds is moving at the rate OF
more than twenty miles an hour. Cover
ing the same distance in very slow time
of twenty seconds he would still be
running trine faster than ten miles
an hour. Il Is a common sight in Rut.
land TO see automobiles travelling faster
than any man could possibly run.-Kut.

STRAY PICKINGS OF
LOCAL INTEREST!

An amusing incident OF the transfer
nations due TO constructing new Cen.
trail Vermont passenger station came
out yesterday when well known and
prominent citizen Of the west side Of the
state tried to reach Barre by Central
Vermont train The Joke Of it was
that he came to Barre and didn't know
It, and then went on toward Williams
town The incident was due TO the dou.
bic circumstances, that the terminus OF
the line into this city is now Granite
street, instead OF Depot square while
the new station is being erected at the
latter location, and again that the afore
mentioned visitor didn't hear the con.
duetor announce the arrival at Barre.
50 when the incoming train halted at
Granite street, the victim OF the cir.
cumstances thought il was simply a
way station and didn't leave the train
even when most Of the other passengers
did. The passengers for Barre of, the
train backed down and kept backing.
The visitor thought that was peculiar,
but was not worried mot until the
train had backed down full mile,
switched OIL and then started to pillow
ahead on an entirely new tack Then
from the high elevation ct the Cannon
Ball' route he saw Barre receding and
he realized that he was being hustled
toward the metropolis Of WiIliamstown
with an the speed and abandon that the
Cannon Ball' express is accustomed 20
lie began to do some lively planning

barked' from tine train at South Barre,

thus completing a round about entrance

The experience did not appear to him
to have any Of the sr,marGs Of a Joke,
especially since he was forced to drive

Demented Smeltegman Caused
'Rough House" n Anaconda,

Rev. Charles Quincy Of the Church
Of the Redeemer of this city, has just
received the following item from An
aconda in the Butte Inter-Mountain
relating a humorous experience which
his son, Albert Quincy, had at that
place this week The item is as fol-
lows:
Thomas O'Keefe, we'll known
smelterman, is in custody at the city
hall and will probably be subjected
to an examination for his sanity
O'Keefe entered the rooms of AL
bert Quincy in the Parrot block at
an early hour this morning and tried
to play a piano in a way that was
more vigorous than PadeEewski. He
opened up the front and tackled the
inner workings of the instrument,
scratched matches across the front of
It and when interrupted by the ap-
pearance of some Of the dodgers who
had been disturbed from their slum-
bers by the racket, he was waltzing
with the piano stool around the room.
O'Keefe was turned over to the po-
lice and taken to the city hall, where
he is locked in a cell. He sings se-
lections not found in grand opera, and
keeps the firemen awake with his
noise. He demolished the contents of
his cell, tearing up the mattress and
the blankets.
He is said to have been an inmate
of Warm Springs asylum, but was re-
leased as cured some time ago, but
It is feared that by drink his mind has.
again become unbalanced.
