Governor Guild goes right to the
point in the advice with which he
closes his letter in reply 10 the ap-
peal of the Lettish Workingmen's So
ciety: Il would suggest" he writes,
that. as evidence OF your desire 10
become good American citizens, you
give the authorities the benefit Of your
hearty cooperation In apprehending
and expelling from this community the
buman wild beasts who are disgrace
alike 10 the race which has been un-
fortunate enough TO father them and
the Commonwealth that is unfortunate
enough 10 be their residence"
The governors language is justly
stern and forciDle. No race or associ-
alton OF men can be shut out Of the
enjoyment of equal rights In this COM
munity, but in return ror the liberties
which they enjoy they are under the
moral obligation TO aid In preserving
the common safety.
An interesting experiment 10 deter
mine the temperature at high attitudes
was conducted at Pittsfield recently by
Prof A. Lawrence Rotch, who has
charge Of the Blue Hill meteorological
observatory.
AS described by II. II. Clayton Of the
Blue Hill observatory out In Milton,
a sounding balloon, small affair OF
sufficient lifting power 70 raise the de-
sired recording instruments, left Pitts
field In the morning and In about 90
minutes rose to a height Of six miles.
recording a temperature OF "a degrees
below zero. After 60 minutes more
the little balloon descended TO the
ground, having Travelled 80 miles from
its starting point In the 115 minutes.
With the balloons descent a corre-
spending rise in temperature Of 1O4
degrees was registered, the tempera-
ture on the ground being so degrees.
The experiment appears TO demon.
strate that If those lcc-.ed for popular
balloon excursions follow sufficiently
elevated routes the excursionists will
be assured of cool trips.
In appointing Paul II. Weinert,
well known officer of the park police,
who has been connected with the Blue
Hill reservation, as an Inspector or
roads in the Massachusetts highway
commission, Governor Guild selected a
man who ought to be familiar with
the highways Of many lands through
his personal experience.
In the course OF a dozen years, from
1896 TO 1899, he was a soldier In the
artillery and cavalry branches OF the
u. S. service in this country and in
Cuba He has also travelled in Europe
as a member OF the Buffalo Bill show.
The official record of his military SER
vice, signed by Asst. Adjt. Gen.
Ward. states that be was at differ
ent times sergeant of light battery
Z, 1st U. S. artillery, a corporal OF
troop c, 5th L. S. cavalry, and a ser.
geant of troop l., 1st U. S. cavalry.
1t further states that he was award
ed a medal Of honor on March 4, 1891,
for bravery at Wounded Knee creek,
8. D., Dec 20, 1890. Col Cody picked
out Weinert as the best rider In his
show and detailed aim TO carry the
American flag at the climax Of the con-
gress of rough riders OF the world.
That an organization TO furnish law
yers for the defence OF alleged pick
pockets. and bail for persons charged
with that offence, exists in this city,
was evidenced the other day, when An
tonic Belerani was arrested on the
charge OF picking the pocket of II. c.
Pickering of $500.
Two men who said they were friends
OF the prisoner and were interested in
the case asked John s. McVey, an ct
torney. to defend the man. BY the
time they had gone out and secured
5000 bail the prisoner had been search
ed and a watch was found on him
which was identified as one stolen
last January from Marie Metdier OF
Cambridge, and the prisoners bail
was increased 10 $780, which the men
were unable to furnish.
The two men who mad secured Mr..
McVeys services as attorney went
with him to the courthouse, where they
discovered that Bellerani was not the
man they wanted to defend, and that
they had received a wrong tip about
the prisoners identity
The unusual activity that was shown
70 defend the prisoner and 70 procure
bail leads 70 the belief that the
amounts Of money which have been
taken by pickpockets have been large
enough 10 warrant plenty OF money
being spent TO defend prisoners Of the
gang and TO get them out on bail when
held for the grand jury.
