and the words Tropical Fruits SO
invitingly arranged and realistic in
their eoloring, as to make one wish

Fire Early Friday Morning
In Parochial Home.
Extensive Damage TO House,
Furnishings and Library.
Narrow Escape Of FIR. lacroix..'
Awakened by Dogs Barking.

An alarm of fire was rung in at ALI
Friday morning from Box "a at the
postoffice for a blaze in the parochia
home occupied by Rev. A. o. .Lacroix
The smoke was discovered by William
Dutton, engineer on the train which
leaves here at $40 A. NJ for Portland
He rushed up to the door and rung the
bell. This was answered by FIR. LacroiA
who was somewhat surprised to be tolC
that his home was on fire. Mr.. Duttor
was on his way to the round house t.
take his locomotive over the bridge tc
couple onto his train. At the Water
street crossing of the Maine Central he
met the night watch, C. S. Steward
who pulled in the alarm.
Tt was a hard fire to fight. For g
time it was impossible to obtain water
from the nearby MIGRANTS. When wa
ter was obtained the flames were
drowned out, but not until much dam
age had resulted.
Just how the fire originated is I'M.
known. Some think that it might have
caught from the electric light wire.
which were in the basement. OF course
at that hour in the morning there was
no fire in the kitchen range or in the
furnace.
The house is insured in the Home In
surance Co. of New York through the
agency of Dinsmore & Bickford. The
policy runs to the Roman Catholic
Bishop of Maine, Corporation Sole
There was $4,000 on the buildings ant
$500 on the furniture. In addition tC
this FIR. LacroiX carried $500 on hi.
library and personal effects. There
was no damage to the stable.
The. house and furniture owned b,
the Catholic church is probably dam
aged to the extent of at least $1,000
This vas mostly due to smoke and wa
ter FIR. I.acroiX was unable Friday t.
estimate his personal loss. Many o
his valuable books and papers were
thoroughly wet Much of the furnitur,
was removed and has been taken t,
his farm on the Norridgewock road.
That FIR. LacroiX escaped with hi.
lie was most remarkable. 1t is prob
able that had he not heard the bark
ing of his faithful dog who was dis
turbed by the ringing of the door bell
he would have been suffocated. Ant
had he not happened to have slep
down stairs instead of uD stairs as l.
his usual habit the same would hav'
held true as where his room was 10
Gated was where the smoke was com
ing the fiercest. AS it was it was {
most fortunate escape.

GUARD AGAINST
ELECTORAL ERRORS
Vice President Fairbanks Urges
Uniformity in Transaction

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-'It is i'm
possible to exaggerate the Importance
of regularity in the matter of electoral
banks today, having in view the possi-
bility of a serious political tangle de-
Quoted from the developments of the
recent cast of the electoral ballots for
president and vice president of the
United States.
Every safeguard" he added. should
be thrown about the transaction which
will tend to guard against errors and
every necessary precaution sshouid be
taken to see that here is uniformity
and accuracy of procedure 1t is per-
fectly obvious in the event of a close
contest such an error as that which was
brought to light during the recent can
vass of the returns in the wisconsin
electoral certificatae might lead to Sc
rious consequences.
1T has also become evident" he said.
rejecting upon numerous letters he has
received on this important subject that
in the several states there is a differ
ence of understanding among electors
d. 70 precisely Wndt the requirements
of the law are with reference to the
procedure of the electoral college, the
certification of the result and the
authorization of the messenger who
bears the vote to the president of the
senate. While there was no material
error except in the one case. there was
evidence of sufficient divergence of view
with respect to these matters as to sue-
gest the Importance of making provi-
sion for insuring greater uniformity
and regularity.
1t has occurred to me that greater
uniformity could be secured and MANY
serious mistakes guarded against if a
law should be enacted requiring the
secretary OF state a short time prior
to the meeting of the electoral college
to forward to the governor of each
state uniform blanks and instructions
necessary to the proper procedure of
the electoral college and proper certif-
cation of the result and authorization
of the messenger.
Under the law the electoral college
meets and votes for president and vice
president nearly two months before the
inauguration of these officials. There
is no provision for the reconvening of
the college to elect a president and
vice president in the event of death
declination or inability of the officials
elect, nor for the reconvening of the
college in the event of any mistake or
error occurring in its procedure
which would invalidate the result of
the election"
