DOE FAWN FOR SOLDIERS HOME
Rescued from Dog in Winha'l by Her
bert Coleman

! AS soon as the question nf trans
portation can be settled the little doe
fawn now being kept in the barn Of
Herbert Coleman in Winhall viii lie
brought to Bennington and pat in the
deer park at the Soldiers Hcme.
The little animal was captured a
few days ago by Mr.. Coleman after
having been rescued from a shepard
dog. While at work in the field with
pillow he heard the fawA blea5 in
the high grass and running in the dir
ection of the sound found that a large
shepard dog had thrown the little
creature and was biting its mind quar-
tiers. The vigorous use of 5uoi club
sent the dog to the happy hunting
grounds and the fawn ran into the
woods adjoining the open field.
At the time of its rescue Mr.. Cole
man made no attempt TO capture the
fawn, believing that 1t would join its
mother during the night, but IN the
morning it was still wandering and
bleating about tne edge of the woods.
The fawn was then taken to the barn
placed in a stall and fed. 1t was I'M
usually strong and active and on one
occasion attempted to jump through
window.
If the fawn can be successfully
transported to Bennington and install
ed in the deer park at the home the
institution will then be provided with
pair of young deer and their growth
will be watched with interest.

AND HAVE RATE SETTLED
Public Service Commission VIII Not
Interfere Except at consum-
ers' Request

The local gas company can fix and
collect any rate 1t pleases for gas and
the village and town authorities have
MT anything to say about it, but any
consumer or several of them after
paying the increased rate has a right
to appeal to the Public Service COM
mission which will tlen make an in
vestigation and either approve the
rate fixed by the company or else fix
new rate that appears to the COM
mission to be equitable.
The above is the statement of Hon.
John w. Redmond of Newport. chair
man of the Public Service commission
in reply to a letter written him by DR.
w. b. Putnam, president of the gas
company. Mr.. Redmond's letter
which explains itself is as follows:

/ Bennington Gas Light Company,
Bennington, Vermont,
Gentlemen II have your Presi-
dents letter of the 10th inst. COM
planning that some of your patrons
protest against, and refuse to pay. GER
tain increased rates; and asking that
we give hearing to fix the reason
oDlcHSSo VI Tie IdtcS tudt yOu nave

We have no jurisdiction to do that
on your application. The only juris-
diction that we have in that regard is
on the complaint of one of the public,
One of the patrons, or w.uld-be pa
irons of public service corporation,
that the rates charged by it are UNI
reasonable, and asking that we inves-
tigate the matter, and, If we find the
rates charged to be unreasonable, to
fix reasonable rates.
You have a right to fix the rates in
the first instance; and we have no
jurisdiction to NEEDLE with the rates
so fixed, except on complaint as just
explained We have heard no COM

Respectfully,
]. w. Redmond, Chairman.
| might add that we have jurisdic
ton, of our own motion, to intervene
in behalf of the public, to protect It
against unreasonable rates.-J. w. r.
The situation in regard to the mat
ter is that a few of the consumers
have refused to pay their bills at the
increased rate demanded by the COM
pany. According to the statement OF
Mr.. Redmond it appears that the pro
per thing now will be for these con-
sunrers to pay their bills under pro-
test and then appeal to the commits
sion which would then come here and
give a hearing

Atlanta Office Third of State

OF the total postal receipts accruing In
Georgia for the first three months of the
current year, Atlanta has produced al
most One-third. ID,
This striking fact is recorded in the Of
fetal Quarterly report of the United States
postoflce department which has just been
issued. 1t is a carefully compiled book,
showing the postal receipts OF every state
and city in the union. That PORTION of
the record relating to Georgia shows that
the receipts from all the postoffhces in the
state for January, February and March,
1909, were $3.50 O82.63 and that Of this
amount $23S, 39I.52 came from Atlanta.
Postal receipts are considered relia-
able Thermometer of a clty's general bust
ness activity. Particularly, do they In
dictate the range of Its connection with
the outside world. II 1t were possible to
analyze the figures of the governments
report, they would show that Atlanta's
commercial interests reach far beyond
her own borders into all parts of the
state and the nation. .....
Most significant of all is the fact that
one city has become in this important
particular a third of the entire state.
Atlanta has held this rank for some time
past and 1t is interesting to note, as
kindred fact. that Fulton county's pro-
portion of the states taxes is similarly
large.

The bill makes it unlawful for studentE

1t unlawful for any trustee or other OFF,

mysterious circumstances.
The couple had gone out rowing in
the afternoon. A short time afterwards
persons In another rowboat some dbas

party, and paid no attention. Later IN the
afternoon another boating party found
Miss Daveys hat floating in the water

and Hunt had gone rowing.
Miss Davey's body was recovered to-

been found. Among the reports current In
connection with the drowning is one that.
Miss Davey had threatened to commit
suicide From this report the theory Is
developed that she may have thrown her
self into the lake, and Hunt persisted
with her when he tried to rescue her.
