PLAYGROUND NOTES

Those who have not seen the play

rare treat II is well worth the time
and effort to see over hundred
children of all ages and many ma
tionalities and from homes of all
kinds playing happily together That
these hundred and more children are
in healthful surroundings under care

but when we realize that they are de.
veloping those qualities so essential
TO upright. strong manhood and wo-
manhood, one can Immediately see
the great Importance and need of a
public playground. why have play
grounds? Why? Why does a iow-
er need the light? The child needs a
playground because his growth is
through activity, which his nature
has prescribed; and because he will
never grow up, or will grow up
stunted and perverted il he is denied
those opportunities and objects to
which his vital instructive and forma-
tive activities relate"
The first game OF the playground
baseball league was played Tuesday
morning when the Catamount Cubs
defeated the Young Vermonters by
the score OF 19 to 3. The pitching
Of Joe WEIGH for the Cubs was more
than the Young Vermonters could
solve. while on the other hand Nc.
Quincy was not up to his usual form
and the Cubs pounded him hard. But
the Young Vermonters are not dis

plrrssuRe GIANTS SOME TEAM
Local Sphere-Teasers to Meet With
Foemen Worthy OF Their Bats

An unusual opportunity will be Civ
en- the baseball public OF Bennington
to witness fast baseball tomorrow
and the next day when the champion
"Pittsburg Giants" appear at Morgan
and Tudor Parks. The Giants are
credited by the Press of New York
with being better than class "a" ball
players, and as the locals have struck
their gait an unexcelled exhibition is
assured for both days II might be
well to suggest that the Bennington
team has won the last seven games
played and all with fast teams and
by close scores and with all three of
our pitchers showing wonderful form,
our back stop work of high class Or
der and both the in and out field pull
ing down every thing In sight, and
all showing up so well with the stick
we ought to continue, even against
the Giants, with the winning streak.
II is hoped that the fans will turn
out in form for these two games and
show their interest in the team and
their appreciation for the great game
that the boys are putting up.

DESIGNATING THE MAINE
Heat Applied by css-5Iast to the
Wrecked Hull for the First Time

Havana, Aug. 3.-The work of re-
moving the wreck OF the battleship
Maine entered an exceedingly inter
esting and important phase this after
noon, when there was commenced the
process OF dissecting the shattered
and distorted remains OF the vessel
by means of gas-blast apparatus.
This is operated by one man, and pro
jects tiny flame of intense heat and
brilliancy against the steel, melting
apart the heaviest beck beams and
side frames in less than five minutes.
The process was begun on the high
est part of the wreckage above the
central superstructure. At the pres
ent rate of progress this will be en-
tirely cut away in few days, greatly
facilitating exploration OF the hull
Afterward the wreckage of the for
ward section will be removed In a
similar manner The stern section
of the vessel, however, will not be
touched by the gas blasters, pending
settlement of the question whether
there is a possibility of placing a
bulkhead In It and floating II out of
the cofferdam.
Some bones were found today i'm
bedded in the snarl OF wreckage In
the bow, but II will be impossible to
extract them at the present time.

TRACK BEING RAISED
BY Berkshire Street Railway Com.
pany on West Main Street

A large number of section men are
engaged in slightly raising the tracks
of the Berkshire Street Railway com
pany on West Main street. The
work is being done in preparation for
the new asphalt top pavement which
will soon be laid by the village. The
railway company has agreed to raise
its tracks to the necessary level and
10 lay the new pavement for a dis
lance of Is inches on each side OF the
track
So as to avoid having this section
OF Main street torn up during the
week of the Pageant which will be
here from August IL to the 10Th,
Street Commissioner A. r. Dunn has
delayed the work of laying the new
pavement He will start work dir
ectly after the celebration and ex-
poets to have 1t completed within
three or four weeks. The railway
company will complete its share of
the work we'll before the Pageant be-
gins, thus avoiding any inconvenience
that would necessarily result while
the work was in progress.
In order TO eliminate all unnecess.
airy inconvenience when the village
begins operations. only one side of
the street will be torn up at a time.
The street will thus be open to traf-
fic during the time the new pavement
is being laid.

The petition of C. N. Powers asking
TOT an investigation into the fire of
unknown origin, which a week ago
destroyed the stock and fixtures of
the fruit store of Otto Quandt at the
corner or North and Pleasant streets
was considered yesterday by the
Town selectmen at their regular
meeting After hearing Mr.. Powers.
VINO was requested to appear before
the board, to tell why he believed an
investigation to be warranted. il was
decided to look into the matter with
a view OF determining whether the
facts call for an inquest.
The board was called to order
about o'clock, with Chairman F. M.
Crawford presiding and selectmen
FRANK Cromack and w. r. White
present The first matter pre-
sented was petition from the Pa

ton during the celebration. when
over 2OO0 ~electric lights will be sus-
pended along Main street After
granting the petition and approving

petition of Mr.. Powers was taken up.
Chairman Crawford called upon
the petitioner to tell why he believed
that an investigation would be war.

IRE and the alleged unusually large
insurance being carried. He said that
the stock and fixtures which were
probably not worth more than $500
or S4OO, were insured at some 81 100

stated that he understood that Mr.
Quandt, the proprietor, was the first
TO have discovered the alleged at

fire, and lost no time in calling the
attention TO some marks that we're
found on the sash of a small window

who is the agent for the owner of the
Brewster block, as the building
which was considerably damaged by
fire and water is known, said that
even If the investigation could not
show that the fire was OF an incen-
diary origin, il would at least prove
that the authorities are active in
looking into all suspicious fires. This
activity, he said. would probably act
as deterrent for others who would
use this means to gain the insurance.
The selectmen will proceed eau

still hunt will be made for evidence.
an Investigation will not be made I'M

DEMOCRATS PASS
COTTON TARIFF
HOUSE BILL
Make Il Per Cent Reduction in
Duty on Cotton
HOUSE VOTED 2O2 TO 81
Are Hoping to Pass Wool Bill Over
Presidents Veto in Both
Chambers

Washington, August 4.-The demo
cratic cotton tariff bill, the third of
the big tariff revision measures
brought forward by the democratic
House of Representatives, passed
that body early last evening by POP
to 81, supported by all the democrats
and by 30 insurgent republicans. The
bill cuts the average tariff on cotton
manufactured goods from AZ to q
per cent, ad valorem, Fl per cent
reduction in duty, that the democra-
tic leaders estimate to reduce rev.
enues about S3,OOO,O00.
Not an amendment was offered to
the bill, although the republicans at
tackled it vigorously on account of al
legged increases in certain items over
the rates of the Payne.Aldrich tariff
law. Scarcely had the cheers that
greeted the passage of the cotton re-
vision bill subsidized when Democratic
Leader Underwood, calling up the
free list bill as ii passed the Senate
a few days ago accomplished a STRAIT
egic move which surprised the repub-
licans He asked for conference on
all the amendments TO the free list
bill, except that of Senator Gronna
of n. d., putting cement on the free
list He urged that the House accept
that amendment, adding to it lemons.
Pacific coast republicans made inef-
fectual attempts to stop this sudden
and unexpected putting of lemons on
the free list, but the amendment car
ried. The change gave the House
democrats what they claimed TO be
an added advantage in dealing with
the Senate in the conference com
mittee.
Last night the republican leaders in
both houses of Congress called in
absent members from all parts OF
the country, in preparation for a
threatened attempt of the democrats
to pass the wool tariff bill over the
presidents Veto The democratic
leaders in the House have asserted
within the last "a hours that they
have the necessary two.thirds MAORI
ty to pass the wool bill over the
presidents veto and they did effec-
tive missionary work in the Senate
yesterday. The republican managers
in the House insist that they have
enough votes to prevent the two
thirds majority in support OF the
wool bill
The wool conference will start at
10 o'clock this morning, when the
committees OF the House and Senate
will meet in the effort to effect a
compromise.
