The Hauohty Butchers.

The complaint against the high cost
of living probably dates from the
time Adam paid SO dearly for bite
Of apple. AT later date, according to
the Westminster Gazette, the retail
butcher Of France grew very arrogant,
and it says that the present increased
price Of meats has caused the exam
ination of the records In order to trace
the origin of the trouble there. In 1890
q decree was. issued which suggests
that butchers were carrying things
with high hand 1t says: Butchers
are expressly enjoinod not to Ill treat
or use abusive language to the ladies'
Of their city or the women of low de-
gree, or the servant maids who propose
to deal with them. They are on DO
account to mock or derides the said
ladies, women and maids, bat are to
receive politely all offers made to them

R. W. Spear. clerk of the Vermont
Public Service commission, gives out
the following:
The commission has recently pro-
mulgated an order for the elimin alton
of the Pine Street crossing" so
called, in the village of North Troy,
on the Canadian Pacific railway. The
order directs that the railway COM
pany construct an underpass and a
connecting section of highway, which
when completed will be in lieu of the
grade crossing, which is extremely
dangerous. The work is to be COM
pleted OIL or before December /, 1911,
town of Troy, State of Vermont, and
the Canadian Pacific railway company
in the proportions of ten per cent,
twenty-five per cent and sixty-five
per cent respectively.
In the case of the fatal accident to
George Duquette, who was instantly
killed in the Newport yard, on Feb.
19, 1911, on the Boston & Maine rail
road, the Commission held public ir
vestigation Feb. 2S, 1911, and has
published its findings which are to the
effect that Mr.. Duquette was struck
while walking between the rails OF
his way to his work at the Boston {
Maine round house about five O'Clock
a. m that it appeared that about fiji
ty employees of the Boston & Maine
railroad are accustomed to go to ant
fro in the yard along the route pur
sued by Mr.. Duquette; that at tn
hour of this accident about fifteel
of these employees are accustomed tt
! traverse this route in going to thei
work and are compelled to walk be
tween the rails because of the &C
cumulation of snow outside thereof
That all of these facts were wei
known to the engineer of the switcl
engine and though he testified tina
the engine was not moving taste
tnan four miles an hour the commits
sion feels that he should have cause
the engine bell to have been continu
ously rung while the engine wa
moving through the yard. He test
fed that it was rung until it wa
about 1000 feet from where Mr.. DU
quette was struck. The commissio
also states that in view Of the nec
essary use of the yards by the EN-
ployees of the railroads in going
and from their work and in thei
work, that the snow should not b
allowed to accumulate between tn
several sets of main line tracks; ths
suitable provision should be mad
for some sort of path for employee
to use instead of being compelled
walk between the rails.
