been completed in this city. and as a
result Albert Waterman, of Enosburg
Center, lad of about Is years, has been
fined $5 for contempt OF court, with an
alternative of so days in the Franklin
county Jail.
Last Wednesday the Hon. Ellis w.
Foster, an assistant Judge of the Frank
ling county court, held an inquest at
Enosburg Center regarding the burning
of two houses and two barns at that
place, the respective sets of buildings
being considerable distance apart, the
evening of July l3. house occupied
by the Chandler family was burned the
night of July l3. Neighbors moved
the family to an unoccupied house md
in a few hours that building also went
up in flames.
The hearing in the matter was conddc-
ted in the school house at Enosburg
Center. Under the provisions of the
Vermont statutes these hearings are
private, being in the nature OF a grand
jury hearing. The stenographer taking
the notes regarding such hearings is
required TO take an oath similar to
that administered to and required from
the clerk of the grand jury. Besides

er of this city, stenographer.
Forenoon and afternoon sessions We're
held and, as required by law, only one
witness appeared at time.
In the evening. after the hearing was
over, it was learned for the first time
that Waterman who had formerly been
janitor of the building, and who knew
in advance that the hearing was pri-
yate, had secured a rope, to one end OF
which hook was attached, and had en-
tered the building in the morning be-
fore Judge Foster arrived. With the
aid Of long pole from chart he had
placed the hook over sleeper in IN
opening in the ceiling of the building
which led to sort of belfry. or garret,
and there secreted himself near the open
ing so that he heard all the testimony
taken at the forenoon session. After
the persons interested left the building
at noon the boy went away from the
building and he did not return in the
afternoon.
As soon as Judge Foster heard of the
occurrence the boy was summoned be-
fore him in this city and after careful
investigation it developed that the boy
had disclosed some of the evidence that
he had overheard, which was held to be
contempt OF court and he was fined as
nI HaI .
boy had been hired by some one implcat
ID in the burning of the buildings to
secret himself in the building at the
hearing in the matter the offense would
nave been considered more serious.

BARRE's HOTEL PROJECT.
Is Being Pushed With Renewed Vigor,
Statement Made by Committee.

Some are asking, What is being done
about new hotel?
This hotel proposition has not been
dropped. The hotel committee for the
last four weeks has been somewhat
broken mp on account of vacations. It
was a busy time for all--those that are
away cannot help, and those that are
at home have been made all the time
more busy by others being away.
To say that anyone had any thought
of dropping this hotel plan would be ri
diculous. We are all sorry to see that
it has not all been closed up before now.
Many men are always of many minds,
and while the most of us believe in doing
things as soon as we can, others plan to
think proposition over.
This hotel, this time, has got to be
a reality. Some say that it won't pay;
Others kno that it will. 1t is fore
gone conclusion that it will pay someone,
either the landlord or the owners of the
building; and your committee believes
that if rightly arranged and carefully
leased that it will pay both the tenants
and the stockholders.
It's possible that many OF those who
have subscribed will be asked to enlarge
their subscriptions. Many have them
selves expressed willingness to do so
ii needed 1t would save the soliciting
committee lots of work if each one would
go his limit. subscribe all he can, not
see how little each can subscribe and
get hotel. This would save your COM
mittee the labor of raking the ground all
oyer twice. II will be done if neces-
sary.
Barre must have this new hotel You
want to see it, Travelling men and tour
lists want to see it. And we feel that
there should be no such thing as giving
it up now. when it is all but in sight
Some say that we need other things now.
A hotel will bring other things and help
pay for them. Other things might not
help build a hotel.
We appeal to every person in our city
and those outside that can and will help
US build this hotel. Take a little stock
take all that you can. Bor-
row mopey as you would for your busi-
ness. This hotel will mean lots to Barre
and all can well afford to do their level
best to see that it is built. Talk it
over with your neighbors and friends;
come to the Board of Trade committee
and talk it with them.

WIDE USE OF ARSENIC.
More Than 100000 Pounds Produced
and Imported in 1911.

The production of white arsenic in the
United States in 1917 was 3,l32 tons
valued at $73,40S, against ,407 tons
valued at s52.305, in 1910, according to a
report on arsenic by Frank l.. Hese, lust
issued by the United States geological
survey. The arsenic was obtained as a
by product of smelling operations. This
output is much the largest ever made in
this country, but owing to the low price
and the distance of the smelters from
New York, the freight charges absorbes a
large proportion of the profit.
During the year 1906 tons of white
arsenic, metallic arsenic, and arsenic
sulphides, valued at S247 1923. were inn
ported. OF this amount 1921 tons was
white arsenic, with a value Of $ll6,9iS.
In addition 1868 pounds of Paris green
and London purple, valued at S4972,
were imported. The total production
and Importation in 1911 of arsenic and
all arsenic compounds amounted to lG,l
256,000 pounds.
The principal uses of arsenic are in
glass making, in pigments. and in in
secticides. The use of Paris green iaceto-
arsenite of copper in paint is somewhat
ity. As an inseeticide it is used largely
by gardeners, orchardists, and farmers.
If pure, it is owing to its insolubility,
but the trioxide Is often present in
some quantity and If paris green is
then used it is fatal to plants. espcc-
tally in dry climates, where it is not
soon washed off by rains Experiments
conducted by a number of the state az
ricultural experiment stations have dem
onstrated the value of arsenic when COM
bined with lime as an effective spray
against insect pests.
A number of arsenic salts and oxides
are used incidentally, amnog them the
bromide, iodide, trisulphide, trioxide So
dium arsenate, and potassium arsenate.
Disulphide of arsenic, both natural ard
artificial, is used as paint pigment; in
calico printing and dyeing; intanning;
and. as it burns with an intense white
light, in fireworks. Orpiment, the trisul-
phide, called also kings yellow, is used
as paint pigment and as reducing
agent in chemical work. The trioxide is
used in paints; for preserving hides, both
for taxidermists and in the leather in
dustry as an antiseptie; and in killing
animal pests. Sodium arsenate is used in
dyeing with turkey-red oil and in print
ing fabrics; the arsenite in making soap
for use on skins and hides. Potassium
arsenite is used as reducer for silver
in the manufacture of mirrors
A copy of the report on arsenic may be
obtained free on application to the D;rec-
tor of the United States Geological Sur
vey at Washington, d. c.
