Bones of Merritt
 In BattIeship Full Identification of Remains of Engineer Found in Wreck
 of Maine

Havana, Aug. 3-The bones found battleship Maine and believed to be the remains of Assistant Engineer Merritt, have been fully identified. They consisted of the entire skull and a greater part of the frame. The iden- tification was based on the confgura- ton of the skull. The skeleton is that of a tall man, which corre- spends to Engineer Merritt's height. Near the bones were found a portion of an officers cap, uniform. and but tons and a fountain pen.
 The remains of the officer was dis covered in the central passage imme- diately forward of the ward room and at the spot where Midshipman Boyd testified that he and Merritt were separated by the thrush of ater while struggling to make their way from the junior officers ward room to the main deck. Engineer Merritt's class ring has not yet been found but 1t may be in the debris which is being carefully sifted.
 The exploration of the after berth deck, on which the officers staterooms were situated has been completed without the discovery of other bodies. Many personal effects were found, in- cluding Lieut.. Jenkins revolver, with his name engraved on it, one shot gun and some cutlasses and rifles and quantity of minor objects.
 Captain Tilford, who is in charge of the recovery of the dead from the Maine, has cabled to Gen. Bixby that Engineer Merritt's body had been of fcially identified. The bones have been placed in a casket on the main deck, where they await the instruc- tions of the family of Merritt.
 Two more bodies, both of them be- terday near the warrant officers quarters on the port side of the berth deck under the central superstructure These make the total number of bod ies recovered twenty-one

EMANCIPATION DAY
 AT STEEPLECHASE

The celebration of Emancipation Day at Steeplechase Island Tuesday by tue colored people of the State, recalls to memory the times of the old picnic days at Parlor Rock. Long Hill. At one time ParlOr Rock was the most popular picnic grounds in this locality. Situated just far enough from the city and well back, into the country it furnished the ideal spot for day of amusement.
 The place was found by the col- ored people. and every Aug. found their day., In tinfe the others fell in. and almost daily in the summer months the groves around the Rock were thronged with merry makers.
 Means of egress to the Rock when it was first opened was through bus route and by team. Finally the Hou- satonic road secured hold of the parks and built their line through the Housa- tonic valley, improving and adding much to the advantages of the place. A train left over the valley road into the country towns every morning. To this train was attached a passenger coach, special for revelers at the Rock. Siding at the Rock, the picnicers could leave at their own will. A brakeman was left along with the extra. When the return was about to be made, some of the farmers gave the extra a push, and they were off. The grade on the return trip was stiff enough to allow the car to proceed along on its momentum. When the station was reached the brakes were applied and home was next. In time the railroad began to put on more trains, and fearing accident at the Rock closed up the place.
 Emancipation Day has been cele- brated since 1884. An act abolishing slavery was passed in the British col- onies in 1883, the law taking effect a year later. By the act the slaves were apprenticed to their former owners till 1888 and in the case of agricul- tural slaves till 1840. The purchase money given by Great Britain to the slave owners was twenty million pounds sterling. The apprenticeship system was found unsatisfactory and was done away with.
 A number of, people have confused Emancipation Day with the signing of the Emancipation proclamation by President Lincoln. The proclamation was signed Jan. 1, 1S63

Someone Setting Wire Net Traps
 For Conn. Deer

Waterbury, Aug. 3-That some body in Campville or vicinity is set ting traps for deer is made evident
 by the finding of large doe with a piece of wire drawn tightly about it's throat. If the deer had not been discovered in time it would undoubt- edly have died. It was completely fatlgued and appeared to be nearly dead
 The deer,s condition was discover ed by Wateryille man who was driving homeward through Camp vile. When he reached a point just south of T. M. Burns new house his dog spied the deer in the clearing near the road and started to chase 1t. The deer ran a few steps and then collapsed. The man. was afraid that the dog had wounded the deer and so he stopped and got out of the wagon to investigate. A glance was sufficient to show that the deer had not been touched by the dog but was nearly strangled to death by a wire pulled tightly about it's throat. The piece of wire had evidently been used previously on bale of hay.
 The man stopped John N. Brooks and party consisting of ex-Senator Isaac w. Brooks, ex-Representative G. c. Agard and First Selectman George E. Cook, who were coming home from Hartford by automobile. He asked MT. Brooks for a pair of pliers to cut the wire. The members of the auto party got out of the ma- chine and John Brooks got his pliers. While two Of the men held the deer a third cut the wire around its throat After a few minutes the deer arose and, staggering a little, ran away in- to the brush.
 It was evident to the party that the wire was part of some sort of deer trap and that the animal had broken the wire away from its fast enings but was unable to get rid of it's strangling grip.

REMARKABLE PERIOD
 OF HEAT BY WEATHER
 BUREAU OBSERVATIONS

Washington, Aug. 3-Not in the last forty years have temperatures in the United States during the late spring and early summer been so uniformly high for so long a period and over such a large portion of the country as this year, according to Weather Bureau officers. The high tempera- tures were most pronounced over the more central and northern parts Of the country, while the Southern States were comparatively exempt from un- usual heat The heat caused great suffering in the congested parts Of the cities and resulted in the loss of probably thousands of lives.
 Lack of rainfall over the great agri- cultural districts during much of the long heated periods greatly retarded vegetable growth and threatened a serious curtailment of crop produc- tion. Opportune rains however, with cooler weather, improved conditions, and the outlook at present is favor able for the gathering of the usual harvests of most of the great staples
 The period of greatest discomfort was from June P to July 10. The most intense heat occurred at the close of, a long heated period, when the animal vitality had been largely depleted.

New Haven Fire
 Chief Checks
 Squadron Speed

New Haven, Aug. 3-A number of complaints that have been made 10 Chief Fancher of the fire department to the effect that the Flying squadron was making too much speed in going through the streets of the 'city, yes terday prompted him to issue an or der making the speed of that wagon through business streets of the city at 25 miles an hour or less should the occasion, require, and 40 miles there is no traffic.
 "One man came in here and told me that the squad wagon was in the habit of going 60 miles an hour through the streets, said the chief. "He admitted that he was no judge of speed, but he said that it was his belief that the wagon was making that speed when he saw it. A num- Der of these complaints have been made to me, but I believe that the hear the siren blowing imagine that the wagon is going faster than it really is. l know for a fact that most of the time in going down Church street, the speedom eters on the squadron usually registers far be- must admit isn't very fast for an au- tomobile. Of course in Nopen streets the speed is greater because of the less danger to pedestrians and oth- ers."
 sHow about your auto?" asked the reporter. Don't you think you make too great a speed through the streets in going to a f1re?"
 'sNo. I don't" replied Chief Fan cher. "Just as in the case of the Flying Squadron, I think that the siren on my machine causes most of the trouble. Although you may think that go fast through the business streets on my way to fire, seldom hit it up higher than 25 miles an hour and most of the time it is less"
 The new rule made by Chief Fan cher was not made, according to de- partment officials, because the Fly ing Squadron were really driving too fast through the streets, but to make sure that thlt would not. It is Chief Fancher'e belief, and most men in the department uphold him, that they never attain startling speed through the streets, endangering pedestrians and children, and that the wagon Is driven most carefully and unguarded crossings watched closely

PROHIBITION NOT IN POLITICS. Gov. Wilson's Reply to Those Who
 Would Make New Jersey Dry.

Trenton, Aug. 3.-The Rev Thom- as B. Shannon, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, and G. Rowland Monroe, counsel for the organization, called upon Gov. Wilson recently to try to enlist his support in transform ing New Jersey from wet to dry State.
 Gov. Wilson told the visitors that although personally he was a believer in prohibition and local self-govern- ment he thought the liquor question should have no place in politics. He looked upon it as a moral and social question, to be dealt with separately from the political issues of the day So long as he had his way, the Gov ernor said, local option or liquor selling would never be made an issue between the political parties. His observations and experience had con- vinced him that it was not the part of sound statesmanship to let politi- cal parties be wrecked on the rocks of prohibition.
 The anti-saloon leaguers left the conference disappointed but still hopeful.

TWO eRATTLEeoRo BuReLARlEs
Money and JeweIry Taken from
Homes While Owners were Absent

Brattleboro, May 8.-Two houses in
the north part of the village were Wis
tied by burglars Saturday afternoon.
The house of Charles Spencer was
entered in the afternoon while the
family were up the river in their mo-
tor boat. The break was not discov-
cred until late in the evening, when
Chief of Police George Wilson was
notified Among the things taken
we're two diamond rings and a gold
watch and a childs bank containing
500 was rifled.
The other house was that of A. d.
Wyatt on North Main street The lat
ter people were away from the house
from S:45 to 9:15 when it is supposed
that entrance was effected. The bur
glars made their way through a back
window Among the things taken
was 500 in cash belonging to Miss
Mary " Olsen, the hired girl, locket
marked IN. ". O." bracelet marked
IN. o" and two opal rings, also the
property of Miss Olsen. Mrs. Wyatt
lost a string of gold beads, a plain
gold ring and a ring marked Mother"
1t is likely that both families suffered
more heavily than the hurried enven-
tory last night revealed. There seems
to be no clue to the perpetrators as
they did the job in skillful manner.

BIG MILL STARTED
BrsttIeboro's Industry Will Probably

Brattleboro, May 8-Ground was
broken Thursday for the Fort Dunn
mer mills cotton factory, Brattleboro' S
$500 900 enterprise. d. X. Bixford has
charge of the work for the b. F. Smith
Construction company of Pawtucket,
r. l., contractors and will remain here
until the firm has fulfilled the con
tract. Under his direction 80 work
men began to pillow the ground, re-
move the turf and blast stumps on the
site of the mill.
BY next Monday morning Mr.. Rex
ford expects to have so men at work
and by June he probably will have
$50 men on the payroll. The contract
stipulates that the mill must be ready
for the machinery by August ! and
this means that a big force of men
must be employed by the contractors.
Probably over half of the laborers will
be Italians and the rest skilled work
men. The men now employed are
Brattleboro laboreTs but there are not
enough here to fill the jobs offered.

The first few days inspection of
weights and measures under the new
Vermont law reveals not solitary
legal dry or liquid measure in the sew
eral communities visited Here is evil
dence enough on the start to justify
the law and the expense OF its enforce
ment, and goodness knows how much
more evidence OF the same kind will
be accumulated when all of the 246
towns have been inspected. The sim
pie fact is that the people of Vermont
have not been getting what they have
bought and paid for with good hard
earned money Nobody can begin to
estimate the actual gross loss to con
sumers that must have piled up in
all these years because of the short
age in measures, but ii must be in
figures OF staggering size. Now the
wonder is that the state put off this
decree for honest weights and meas
ures so long.-St Adams Messenger.
When we see the result of this and
other progressive things isn't it a
wonder that it is so hard to get ad-
vanced measures adopted The
weights and measures bill had rath-
er hard time, not because OF any real
opposition to the principles of the
measure. but through the opposition
of people who didn't know whether
their scales and measures were cor.
rect or not but allowed agents for
crooked scale and short measure con
Germs to scare them into opposing the
bill on the ground that il might ex-
pose them to some danger. Nor was
this the only instance The primary
election bill was killed by cute poll.
ticians and corporation agents who
are now able to control elections to
a considerable extent These schem-
ers knew that direct nominations
would put the rank and file of people
in control. They knew that a state
ment of the real facts would ruin
their chances so they cleverly circu-
lated the mistaken idea that
the selection of candidates in
primary nominations would put
to the hands of the large
towns when as a matter of fact it
would reduce the influence of the lar
ge towns in selecting candidates, as
has been proved, not by theory, but
by actual results in those states which
have adopted the direct system of nom
nations. However, the argument
did its work and the chestnuts were
pulled out of the fire for the polite
ians and the corporations. The great
trouble with lawmakers in Vermont
is that they are too conservative.
When they do scorn their fears and
do a progressive thing they are glad
of it afterwards as they will be in this
weights and measures matter In or
der to go ahead it is sometimes nee
essary to take a chance. If we never
try we shall never succeed
