HOUSE AND BARN BURNED.

The house and horse barn on the Foster farm in Long Meadow were burned abo1t noon on Saturday Of last week. The family had been there about a week and had gone to the station to meet some friends who were to spend the Fourth with them. On their re- turn they found the destruction about com- plete. It is supposed to have been caused by defective chimney. Little was saved from either the house or barn. There was some insurance on the house.

RINGING THE BELLS.

The Fourth of July ringing of the chul ch bells was accomplish ed with great su? pss and in a very orderly manner. this year. Some of the pee- pie who live near the churches had thoughts of this sort: What a pity to run a good thing into the dirt!" The American people are rather given i0 doing this, but they gener- ally come out with cOmmonsense on top. We do not believe the boys wish to make a nuisance of the old cus orr, ard therefore we belle ve that if soH:e one could just get their ear and tell them that they come peril cusly near making it nuisance when they ring continuously until the ear-Grums rattle with it, they would find some better method. One of the listeners would suggest that the party divide so that the bells might riLg to answer each other; but both at the same time! 1t struck one of the listeners that one of the bells was rung rather too long. For 15 mini ,ts, say, it is pretty good fun, but after that it gets a little tedious. "A word to the wise," etc.

Victoria, B. c., March 29.-Es-
quimalt, on Vancouver Island, is to
be made a British naval base for
the Pacific coast waters.
1t is the intention of the British
admiralty to reoccupy the post,
practically abandoned since the
British naval distribution carried
into effect several years ago, and
place it again in commission as a
link in the chain of Britains STRAIT
egic naval points.
The admiralty, it is reported, has
determined to construct new naval
dockyards and other works, besides
polishing up the old quarters and
drydock and making them ready
for active service.
If the Pacific is to become the
scene of the great struggle of the
future-as Lord Roberts and others
have sugested-the sudden activi-
ty of the British admiralty in re-
occupying this station, a conven-
lent strategical position, is readily
planned.

ton and dOckyards at Esquimalt
would enable a squadron to be
based there which could guard the

ways hear the sound of electric

able Euclid-av. Across the street
is great church, where Willie
peeped out Sunday morning to see
hundreds of people going to morn
ing worship.
But the location was so public
that it was ideally private. This is
the police explanation. The kidnap.
ers knew their grounds. With the
hue and cry at their ears, they
were SO close that no one ever
thought of them.
1t was the size of the city which
protected them, peoples indiffer-
ence to their neighbors, the hurly-
burly and the confusion. Any one

of the so people living in the apart
ments, if they had shown just lit
tie neighborliness, might have
pulled down a reward of thousands
of dollars. But no one did. 1t was
part of the city where no one
asks questions.
If the three had hidden in a coun-
try town everyone would have
known all about them before night
fall. In the city they were safe.
The case as it has been disclosed,
justified Pat Groves theory that
the kidnapers would hide in some
city. Grove knew. He had lived
undisturbed in Chicago for two
years with more than $4,000 re-
ward over his head, while police
and detectives were aresting as
many as 200 Pat Groves a day over
the country.
Grove hid in a city, but it was a
strange city-Chicago. He never
went outdoors unless carefully dis
guised and wearing an overcoat
and SLOUGH hat to conceal as much
of his face as possible.
But the Boyles stayed at their
house while the police were tracing
them there. Then the man went
out to the saloon where he showed
some money, drank heavily, grew
confidential and talked of an auto
trip out of town and the best way
to go.
The game was off.
