him quite well. He passed through

because he didn't. That's the etiquette
with detectives. They share with la.

bowling to their acquaintances. He
saw and recognized me, of course, and
he also saw and recognized, with quite
a different feeling, the man who sat
in front of you, in seat No. s."
"Oh, my!" she exclaimed in a hushed
voice. "You don't mean he knew him

Miss Leigh was naturally indisposed
to accuse any one or even to begin a
police investigation under such cir

that Mr.. Anderson's advice would GER

PROFESSIONAL MENpTcANcy.

Burlington has lust tried for another
new industry and failed, not because
sufficient work was not put into the
effort by the Burlington Commercial club,
but because the proposition secured as
made did not appeal to local capitalists.
Most new industries in these days want
generous local subscription to their stock,
and some in addition want buildings or
at least sites, and also exemption from
taxation. Any quantity of new indus
tries can be secured if people are only

"THE DEVIL"
The Plot of The Play Which Appears
In Barre Tomorrow Night.

"The Devil" which is coming TO the
opera house Thursday, October 18th il
| the Henry w. Savage version of Franz
Aolnar's Hungarian play Der Teufel
! and is being presented by special per
mission of Mr.. Savage one of the most
progressive among American theatrical
managers. Mr.. Savage witnessed a per-
torrance of the play in Budapesth last
winter and Immediately after the per-
Torrance paid the Hungarian author
five thousand dollars for an option on
the American rights, which subsequent
ly he secured The American adapta-
ton was made by Oliver HEREFORD, the
brilliant novelist, poet and magazine
writer. In order to get the exact at
mosphere at the Garden theatre, New
York City, Mr.. Savage brought to Am
erica, Julius Herzka director-g general Of
Vienna's leading theatre.
The play Is considered by both dra-
matte and literary critics the most bril-
liant work of its kind produced in this
generation The Devil, as depicted in
the comedy, does not have clopen hoofs
or horns rather is he polly, oily, in.
snuating worldly man of the FASHION
who is altogether a most agreeable chap
Just as sin itself too often is. He APP
pears on the scene with the obvious in
tention of causing the downfall of
certain married woman, who just he
fore ner marriage had been in love with
a handsome young artist. After an alb
sence of six years the woman has call
ed at the artists studio TO sit for a
portrait. Both her motives and those
OF the artist are in the beginning non
est and pure. And then the devil bobs
up in the shape of this tantalizing man
of the world who by sly innuendo,
subtle suggestions and alluring promise
puts thoughts of evil into their heads.
Throughout the play it is the devils
fascinating arguments against WON
ans virtue. Many are the battles she
wages against this persistent stranger,
but in the end he triumphs.
The play is proving a profound sen
sation everywhere. As presented in

a GooD RECORD In a Lean YEAR

That the Central Vermont railway
company has been able to make both
ends meet during the past year of gem
eral business depression is a compliment
to the management of the road, most
certainly, and concise commentary,
also, on the growing value of the field
in which the road is operated AT the
annual meeting Of the corporation held
in ST. Albane yesterday, it was reported
that the balance is on the right side of
the ledger, and this, we are told, was
done without the curtailment of trans
portation facilitiesa The period covered
by the last fiscal year of this railroad
was bad one for railroads all over the
country, with its decreased production
and consequent decreased transportation.
The Central Vermont, we doubt not, felt
the effects Of the business blight as it's
contemporaries did, although. perhaps
not in the same heavy proportion. There
fore, il the line was able to 60 through
that period with flying colors, so to
speak, and at the same time improve
on its service Of the year preceding, there
must be fruitful years ahead for the
railroad. The growth of the industries
Of the state which send their products
by rail is SO steadily advancing that it
will mean more and more transportation
business for the carrying company In
the nature of the events, the Central
Vermont line is bound to get proper
tion Of the impetus from this growth.

that he wanted TO know II there was any
chance OF getting rebate or satisfaction
in some way for six months water tax
paid in advance, as during that time he
had had water running 10 his house only
about two months. He considered that
1t was not just right TO be Obliged TO
pay for something that he did not re.
ceiye. William Mcdonald stated that
since June - there had been only three
days that the water had run at his
house during the day time.
Mr.. Lundgen and Mr.. Mcdonald re-
side on Perrin hill, the highest point in
the city, and during low water it IS
impossible for the water 20 run into their
houses. Alderman Ladd asked Mr.. Lund-
gren II anything was said TO him when
the water was put in that there would
be times when the water would not rum
and the latter replied that the city OIL
cials never said anything of tne kind to
him, but he heard that there was liable
to be trouble of the kind On motion

could hire the city's stone crusher to

asked Street Superintendent Bruce what
he thought about the city's letting out

jected to It. On motion OF Alderman
Alexander, the matter was left with the
street committee and the superinten-
dent.
Charles Plouf wanted to know II the
city meant business when II notified him
that he must move his house on River
street out of the street. He said that
when he bought the house be supposed
that IL was at least IL feet from the
street line and that when the house was
built there II years ago the city made
the owner move it back ten feet. Mr..
plouf said that IL was impossible TO
move it back now, as il was right up
against a bank and further than that
he could not afford to move it. Timothy
Holland was also notified by the city
that his house on Pike street was in
the street and he stated that it was
