MODERN STERHIZING PLANT.
Randolph Sanatorium Equipped With
Latest Apparatus.

Randolph Feb. 22-At a cost of
$4,000 a two-story annex 30x36 feet
brick veneer has been completed at
the Randolph sanatorium, an elevator
installed and a modern sterilizlng
outfit added to the equipment
The sterilizing apparatus, manufac-
tured by the Kny-Scheerer Company
of New York, is one of the best and
cost about $500. Water from main
of the village system is piped directly
into the filter between the hot and
cold water tanks and percolates into
either as desired. 1t is gratifying to
know that analysis has established
the fact of Randolph's water supply
being so pure as to be naturally in
almost a sterilized condition, which
makes it no unimportant factor 10
helping the sick to health and ir
keeping the healthy well. Under each
tank are oil lamps to bring the wa
ter to the boiling point and at H.
pounds pressure valve at he top
of the tank is thrown off and the wa
ter is kept at that point 80 minutes
before it is drawn for use. In one
tank is a coil to cool the boiled water
to cold sterilized state. To steriize
the bandages they are placed in a
drum, which is surrounded by wa
ter jacket and has a door which locks
air tight. A lamp under the drum
makes the water in the jacket boil,
and the steam is turned into the drum
for half an hour; then it is turned off
and dry heat admitted, which in 10
minutes will take the moisture out OF
the cloth. The surgical instruments
are placed in pan having a perfor
ated bottom and lowered into COW
cred receptacle containing water
enough to submerge them. Again
by the aid of lamps the water is made
to boil and at the end of half an holr
the cover of the receptacle is raised
by pedal arrangement. so that the
hands do not touch it the pan of in
struments is lifted out by steriliZed
grippers and handed to a sterilized
nurse who takes them to the operat
ing room. The whole process occu-
pies less than an hour while by the
old way the better part of q day was
required for the work.
| Between the main building and the
addition is the new elevator which
runs from the ground to the third
floor and is large enough to carry a
cot bed and two or three people abe-
sides. The shaft opens opposite the
door of the operating room and int1
a small linen room between the two
wards on the third floor. On the first
lloor the cage is entered from the Of
| flee. The elevator, one of the great
est needs Of the sanatorium, repres-
ents an outlay of about $400.

BENNINGTON IN LEAGUE.
viii Support Professional Team
This Summer in FOur-Team Com
binati0n-PIay Thirty Games.


Bennington Feb. ga four-team
baseball league comprising the towns
of Bennington North Adams and
Pittsfield, Mass, and Schenectady, n
Y, will start a schedule of games
July If the preliminary arrangements
which have been agreed upon by the
managers of the respective organiza
tions during the past two days do not
fall through.
The four towns named have main
tanned Independent teams for num-
Der of years but there has never be-
fore been any arrangements tor a sea-
sons schedule. All four teams will
begin playing about the middle OF
May but the league series will not be
taken up until after the colleges have
closed, as many of the players in the
Bennington North Adams and Pitts
field teams are students.
Bennington will for the first time
maintain a salaried team which will
play four or more games a week, two
on home grounds and the others out
OF town Dates have been fixed for
at least ten games With North adams,
ten with Pittsfield and six with
Schenectady all to be played on the
home grounds. Bennington will
play nearly as mauy mid-week games
at Pittsfield and North Adams re-
serving all Saturday dates COR the
home fans.
Harry Watson now physical in
structor at Leominster, Mass, High
School, who played first base with
the Bennington team last season, has
been engaged for the same position
and also as captain and field mana
ger. Agreements have also been made
by Manager E. S Higgins with Jo-
seph Carroll of Trinity College who
played second base last season, with
Lloyd Waters of Rensselaer, Polytec-
mic Institute at their base with Ca
BILE Prindle of Williamstown and
ank Hickey for left and center field
respectively The two pitchers, a
catcher and a change catcher to play
right field and shortstop are the
only positions remaining untitled.
"Al' Haynes, the Vermont University
pitcher who played here last season
will probably be one of the boXmen
and Manager Higgins is hoping to Sc
cure Ingls, the Rensselaer, Polytech-
mic catcher A. the close of the college
year,
1t las been the custom in Benning-
ton for half dozen years to main
tain an Independent professional team
engaging the players individually for
each game. The experience of last
season determined that this was a
more expensive method than that of
engaging the players for the entire
season and the latter plan will be
used during the coming season. The
first game will be played Saturday

Money From Cash Register In City
Cafe-ITad Revolver in Pocket at
the Time.
For the four days Waldo II.
Farrar, the proprietor of the City Cafe
on Main street has been missing var
ious sums of money from the cash
register in the establishment, and fin
ally Friday morning he notified Chief
of Police Durkee and asked him- to
investigate the cause of the burglaries.
Chief Durkee, although he had sus-
picion as to the perpetrator of the Of
fense, decided to do a little gumshoe
work and try to catch the culprit
in the act if possible
Friday night Chief Durkee, with NH.
Farrar. stationed themselves in the
front window of the E. W. Bailey &
Companys Store at II o'clock and af-
ter watching for a short time, saw a
young fellow walking up and down in
front OF the restaurant, apparently
waiting for the place to close About
1890 he disappeared suddenly and he
was finally discovered at the Central
Vermont station. When word was re-
ceived that he was there, Chief Dur
kee and Mr.. Farrar entered the res
taurart and ensconsed themselves be-
hind the counter to await develop
ments
About 80 o'clock they heard a noise
in the basement, and presently some
one opened the door leading from the
cellar and made his way across the
room toward the cash register. AS
there was no light left burning in the
place the intruder could not be recOg
nized, but he was seen to take down
above it, and unlock the drawer with
out ringing the bell, which he must
have done had he pressed one of the
the keys, which hung on the wall
keys of the register.
The watchers then saw him take a
handful of loose change and place it
in the pocket of his overcoat, but just
at this juncture, Chief Durkee made
his appearance on the scene and flash
ing his searchlight in the face of the
burglar. discovered him to be Chaun-
cey Recor. young man well known
about this city, who has been on pro-
bation for previous offense for some
time. Recor at once held his hands
above his head and made no resistance
when taken in charge by the officer,
but on the way to Jail he was seen to
throw something from his pocke, and
on making a search, the object was
found to be 80 calibre revolver. He
AiSo had in his possession a pocket
searchlight and several skeleton keys,
forming fairly complete kit of bur-
glars tools.
The entire amount taken from
the City Cafe during the past four
days is about $17 and as the young
man is over 16 Years of age, if he
is found guilty of the charge prefer
red against him, he must serve a SEN
tence in the House of Correction at
Rutland.
Recor is the young man who ap-
peared in court last spring on the
charge of entering the dressing
rooms of the Blanchard Opera House
and stealing several trick coins and
cards from Albini the magician. who
showed in this city at that time He
was placed on probation on being
found guilty and has not yet teen re-
leased from the custody of the pro-

cratic. The terms of "a republicans

publican party is already busted. 1t

probably in the Senate. 1t cannot en-
act the Taft measures. Its fighting ell

A HYENA AND A GHoUL.

RICHARD W. KNOTT is q ghoul. Not
content with printing foul ISLANDERS on
Governor William Goebel during his
lifetime, charging that Jack Chinn kill
Cd him, melting the ignorant and vic
ious mountaineers to frenzy and claim
ing that the State was being robbed
for blood money to prosecute innocent
people, he takes occasion to criticise
and abuse him now. seizing upon Justus
Goebels speech at Frankfort in the un-
yelling exercises as the excuse. Every
word that Justus Goebel uttered was
true, and stepped in hate and malicious
ness as Editor Knott is, he dare not de-
ny them. They were the words Of a
dying man, who, knowing how one
brother had been cruelty assassinsted
and another had died of grief and DIS
appointment over the result Of his ef-
forts. said things that should forever
ring in the ears Of the pardoned assass-
ms and him who gave them liberty.
Knott is disgrace to his profession
and ought to be ostracised by all res.
pectable people. John Young Brown,
in his famous excoriation in Congress
of old Ben Butler, never said anything
half severe enough to fifty characterize
this hyena in journalism.
