State House Insured.

The disastrous fire in the New York
state capitol building at Albany, n. Y,
recently, which loss was uninsured has
provoked the usual query and comment
throughout the state as to the amount of
protection Montpelier has thrown about
the state property in that city, says The
Journal. Sergeant. at Arms @. II. Ferrin
was seen at the state house and said that
there are ample fire extinguishers scat
tered throughout the state house and its
wings as well as number of small tin
cans of a powder that is effective in
distinguishing a slight blaze in quick
order.
In addition to these precautions night
Waterman makes regular rounds during
the hours when the offices are unoccupied
and would be likely to come upon any
blaze that might start. Beside the reg
ular Waterman SPECIAL Waterman is en-
ployed in the dome of the state house
through the night on the Fourth of July
and he is on the lookout for sparks and
other sources of danger.
The Albany capitol was uninsured but
the Vermont capitol is amply covered by
an insurance of $450,000 which will be
increased soon to 100000 fully covering
the half million dollar structure.
