the fifth floor with a maid, became hys-
terical. She and the other inmates were
rescued, however, by James Selley and
Clifton Parham, negro boys. who ran the
elevators up and down half a dozen times
through the smoke.
The fire was discovered shortly after
plumbers who had been at work In the
basement went away. IT spread through
the storeroom Of the apartment house,
destroying practically all the trunks and
furniture in the place and doing damage
estimated at $500 by Deputy Chief De-
vanev, who turned in second alarm as
a matter OF precaution.
The superintendent, John OHara, was
overcome by smoke. but was pulled from
danger by Francis Tamasko. an elevator
boy, who had his hands cut In the act

A report just issued by the New
York department of health shows al
most as striking results from the use
of anti-typhoid vaccine as those which
were reported from its first general use
in the army about two years ago.
With the vaccine to immunize those
who have been exposed and thus pre-
vent the disease from spreading, each
case of typhoid becomes more than ev-
er public crime Since January l,
when the New York department began,
over 1900 in jections have been given
to about 400 people with no serious
reactions. Of these 400 but one per-
son developed typhoid fever, the one
case being that of child with the
disease already in the stage of ineu-
baton, who came down two days after
the initial dose. The case was excep-
tionally mild and is described as an

THE POLICE PROBLEM.

While Brattleboro s industrial
growth has its advantages it is bring
ing municipal problems which cannot
be ignored or pushed aside. One of
these is the problem of police patrol.
The multiplicity of both serious and
petty offenses which have been COM
mitted of late should set the voters to
thinking, because they might as we'll
recognize first as last that the time Is
close at hand when they will have to
spend a pretty sum to insure for the
village the protection which a commun-
ity of this size must have. 1t is prob
ably true also that the sooner the VII
lage grapples with the question the
less money it viii have to spend. If
it waits until the word goes out that
Brattleboro is an easy mark for law
breakers it will be difficult task to
stem the tide. There are innumerable
places in the village where the evil
disposed could operate any time, and
it lis an impossibilty for two police
men to spread themselves out in a
way to give those places even a watch
full eye. The day police question also
is bound to force itself upon the pub
lie at an early day, and when it does
the changed conditions from those
which existed when the experiment
was made a few years ago will have
to be borne in mind. There is this
much to be said in favor of the day
police-it gives them an opportunity
to get a line on street loafers and no.

APPOINTMENT COMING SOON.
Collectorship Appointments Test of
Browne and Burke Influences.

Browne and Burke Influences.
The first test of strength of the
Browne and Burke forces with the
Wilson administration so far as the
distribution of patronage in Vermont
is concerned is expected soon to be
determined in the Appointment of the
collectors of port in the two Vermont
districts, says the Montpelier Argus.
The first vacancies will probably oc-
cur at Newport in the district of
Memphremagog, although it is possible
that there may be a vacancy at the
same time in the Burlington collector
ship in order that they may expire
together.
The fact that Curtis ). Emery. the
present collector at Newport, is ar
ranging to go to Montpelier on July
indicates that he expects his office
will be filled by that time
There are three candidates for this
position, J. G. Ullerv of Brattleboro
G. Herbert Pape of Barre city and
Charles A. Bancroft of Newport, the
present special deputy collector.
If Mr.. Ullery wins it will mean that
the Browne forces are in control of
the patronage, while if Pape is ap-
pointed to the position it Will mean
that the Burke contingent is at the
helm. On the other hand Mr.. Ban
croft might be taken as a compromise
candidate, although neither Ullery nor
Pape supporters are looking for com
| promises Just at the present time.
The Burke men are ready to concede
! that if Cllery gets the Job Ma
tionaI Committeeman T. II. Browne of
Rutland will be consulted in the dis
| tribution of the few prize packages
which Vermont Democrats must be
content with this year. On the other
| hand, should Pape win, there will be
no little guessing in some towns, and
the present grist of candidates will
increase in many places.
The salary attached to the Newport
collectorship is $4,000, which is said tC
the fee system which has prevailed
In the Burlington district the can
didates to receive prominent mention
are T. H. Browne, Mayor James Burke
of Burlington, George w Burleson an'

lector, and like Mr.. Bancroft was ;

The baggageman has at last come
into his own. And he is properly re-
joicing over his good fortune For
the interstate commerce commission,
that far-off body whose sole duty it
seemed to NANNY was the fixing of
freight rates, has deigned to consider
the woes of the baggageman and has
issued an order that it is believed will
put stop to the rapidly increasing
size of trunks. Since the man who
first invented the wardrobe trunk put
his idea on the market, the patience
of the baggageman has been fast wear
ing out. Many of these trunks are
over six feet long, permitting the fas-
tidious to transport their entire ward
robes with the unpleasantness of hav-
ing their clothes soiled or rumpIed at
the end of a journey. While this was
great convenience to the traveller.
it soon became an equally great hard
ship on the baggageman, often result
ing in accident or waste of time in
handling these freak trunks. Now,
however, the railroads are permitted
to charge extra for all trunks over
forty-fve inches in size. This extra
charge is fixed at the proportionate of
five pounds for every inch over forty
FIVE. And in addition, railroads may, on
one year s notice, refuse to accept any
baggage over six feet in any dimen-
! sion.
