CONSTRUCTION WORK SUSPENDED
On the New Aldrich Building Till tha
Opening of Spring.

With the completion of the outer
foundation wall yesterday, work on the
new Aldrich building to be erected at
the junction Of Washington and Elm
streets has been suspended for the win
ter. When the bitches surrounding the
walls have been filed in with dirt the
corner will take on deserted appear
ance until a more propitious time next
spring, when building activities viii be
resumed at tle earliest opportunity.
The wall already constructed is Of re-
inforced cement, and viii doubtless
prove to be a substantial foundation
for the upper walls of brick which will
enclose the building.
When plans for the new block had
been finally accepted, and the contract
closed for its construction, il was con.
fidently expected that the early months
of 1911 would witness the completion
Of the block. Repeated delays on the
part OF tenants in yacating the block
formerly on this site, however, prevent
ca the contractor from proceeding with
the excavation. which extends in several
directions beyond the limits Of the old
foundation So far as the unoecupied
space would allow, the site wits pre-
pared for the construction of the walls,
but pending the work Of razing the old
National bank building, so called it
was necessary to suspend operations for
some little time When the block was
finally vacated, and every vestige of the
ancient structure had at last disap-
peared a few weeks ago, it became eyi-
dent that nothing more could be accom-
piished before cold weather
Thus it viii be seen that delays re-
suited in a miscarriage Of the original
plans. The trustees who have the Aid.
rich fund in charge expect to rush the
work at the earliest possible moment
when the weather becomes seasonable
next spring.

DRINKING WATER AFLAME.
Phenomenon That Attracted Attention
Of Durham Students.

Durham, N H., Nov. 22-One OF the
New Hampshire college fraternity houses
in town caught fire yesterday afternoon
from gasoline in the wafer system and
but for the quick presence OF mind OF
some members who happened to be in
the house at the time would have prob
ably burned down. After dinner one of
the fraternity men, who was washing
dishes, drew some water and, smelling
gasoline, touched match to it In order
to see II it would burn. To his surprise,
the dishwater famed up vigorously, ig-
hitting the woodwork OF the pantry. and
il was only by the use of fire extin-
guishers and heavy rugs that the blaze
was smothered After the fire had been
extinguished, the boys drew another pail
of water and. taking it into the yard,
touched match to IT, The water blazed
for several minutes, while the fraternity
men gathered around it in order to
watch the peculiar phenomenon Of
burning water The solution Of the
water was afterwards found to be due
to the overflow of gasoline in the tank
which supplies the engine pumping the
water from we'll Immediately steps
were taken to prevent any further dis
turbance from this source.

residence in Venezuela on the arbitra-
tion OF the boundary there He said:
Il don't consider that the Democratic
party here has gained any converts, but
attribute the victories to the fact that
many Republicans are too impatient for
a readjustment Of the tariff In my
opinion the solution Of the problem is
retarded by the Republicans who voted
for Democratic leaders. since we now
have Democratic House, a Republican
Senate and Republican president,
causing divided policy which may
have the effect of leaving the tariff
question as it is without possibility Of
betterment.s
