BURNED TO THE GROUND

Between 12 and 1 o'clock Thurs day morning the people of Willia ms (those who had retired) were aroused from their slumbers by a fusillade of pistol shots. The towns fire alarm system is not yet in operation and the discharge of fire arms is the means used to inform the inhabitants that confagration is in progress.
 The fire was in a vacant house on Second street, owned by c. B. Hol- loway. and the building was totally destroyed. A brisk wind was blow ing, and at one time it looked as though the residences east of the burning house were in danger, a frame shack adjoining becoming a. prey to the flames. The heat was intense and the facilities for fire fighting so meager, that notwith- standing the energetic efforts of number of men and boys, there was no possibility of saving the building destroyed, and all efforts were concentrated on checking the spread of the flame. If there had been an adequate water supply, the house in which the fire originated could have been saved with com paratively little damage.
 The origin of the fire is unknown but incendiarism is strongly sus- pected, some of those first on the scene sta ting that bundle of news papers and other inflammable ma terial was piled in corner of the room where the fire started and that the odor of coal oil was quite perceptible. The loss is in the neighborhood of 5000. I

THE READING ROOM


 New additions are constantly be. ing. made to the req ding room books, papers and pictures. The only reason that more people do not patronize the place is that some have not called to see what it's attractions are. The Washington Post is among the late contribu- tIons to the list of daily papers. If every boy of Williams would read "Little Jour neys to the Homes of Great Business Men," who can tell how much inspiration they might gain2zi A number of splen- did children's* books have. been. loaned from the Dermont library and are greatly appreciated by the children.
 Most of the books in the library can be loaned and taken into the homes to be read. For the average price of one novel, anyone can avail himself of the privilege of reading over hundred novels during the month.
 Visitors are always welcome in the reading room. whether subscrib. ers or not. Fathers and mothers should come with their children and allow the children to enjoy the books and game rooms with them. One of the new games is parlor base ball. which interests all the boys, being played according to the rules of the league games.

Girls to Testify
 At ThaW Trial
Special from United Press.)


 Court House, White Plains, N. Y., July 2s.-with his face drawn by worry and his eyes heavy after a long night conferer.ce with his attorney, Harry K. Thaw took the stand today prepared to meet and combat the revelations ap- parently disastrous to his fight to es- cape from Matteawan, made on the stand yesterday by Mrs. Susan A. Merrill. the proprietress of the room
 ing houses in New York, who swore chat Thaw as MT. Reid" and MT. Monroe" rented rooms from her in which he whipped girls on their bare skin with a dog whip. The statement of Mrs. Merrill that there was .an- other women. his wife, with him, came like a. blow to Evelyn Thaw, and it is believed that during her hurried conference, held immediately with As ststant District Attorney Murphy. she revealed things about Thaw which she had thus far kept secret These oc- cHrences, Mrs. Merrill swore, were af- ter Thaw's marriage to Evelyn, and it is believed that the blow to the young wife caused her to reveal to the States attorney everything she knew about Thawss habits and conduct and inner fife, things she had Steadfastly kept secret
 and we are prepared to prove it. I have no fear of the outcome" said Thaw to the United Press representa- tive He would not discuss the wo- 21<4dl SIOIF IukIn6I. /
 Mrs. Merrill, whose testimony was thrown into the case at the psycholog- teal moment by District Attorney Jer- cme, will be recalled later and is ex@ pected with all the memorandum and data she claims she kept to reveal every detail of the story she told yes terday. She is to give the names of POO young women and girls to whom she claims she gave money for Thaw ito prevent them from telling the story of their treatment at the hands of Tf1aw who killed Stanford White be- cause he violated the purity of young girls. It is expected that the further testimony of Mrs. Merrill and other &vitnesses, whom Jerome has summon -ed, will reveal the sensations of the former Thaw trials, and the story Eve lyn Thaw herself told on the stand Some 200 girls. Mrs. Merrill mentions, will probably be summoned by Jerome to tell the story of their alleged beat angs with the dog whip by Thaw. ~~ Like flies to carrion, men and wo- men. principally women, swarmed into

Royce Make Great Hit In House of
 AThousand Candles

Brigham Royce, as Bates, the butler, in the House of a Thousand Candles" :" gave a performance last night that was remarkably realistic and convincing. The play lacks much of being drama It is loosely put together and the prob abilities are not sufficiently observed. But the average audience is not crit ical and the play is filled with mystery and excitement, and certainly gave great satisfaction last night to one of the largest summer houses that has assembled at Polls this season.
 Doubtless many came to see Miss Mabel Montgomery, the new leading woman. She was not a disappoint- ment, except that her part of Marian Devereaux does not afford much scope for her undoubtedly great talents. She has a remarkably sweet and reson- ant voice which she uses skillfully. Her manner is attractive and she will certainly be a favorite with Bridge port playgpers.
 The acting of MT. Royce will make the production long remembered in this city.

700. 900 TREES PLANTED
BY NATIONAL FORESTERS

Washington, d. C.,-The trees used
in the national experiments in re-
forestation are grown at eight Gov
erment nurseries in the existing ma
tional forests out West. These eight
stations now contain 100000 trees
from one to three years old.
The preliminary stage of forest
planting within the national forests
is now past, and several of the plant
ing stations have produced trees Of
sufficient size to plant directly on the
permanent site. About 100000 trees
were planted during the winter and
spring of 1907.
At the nursery in the Dismal river
national forest more stock has
reached an age suitable for planting
than at the other stations This nur-
sery contains approximately 2,5O0O0O
trees
Sand Hills Reforested.
At the present there are about 1000
600 trees for planting in the sand
hills. The species largely in use up to
this time are Western yellow pine and
jack pine. other species, chiefly
Scotch pine, Norway pine and Doug
las fir, are being tested in the nur-
sery and on experimental plantations
The state forests of Saxony. COM
prising 100000 acres, are in charge
Of a forestry bureau at a yearly ex-
pense which averages SO for each
acre, but such is the extent and value
of the timber and other products that
the net yearly revenue averages $3.50
an acre after deductlng all expenses.
The appropriation of the United
States for the Bureau of Forestry is
so insignificant that 1t amounts to a
little less than l cent for each acvre.
