FRANK WHITE Is A LOSER

Damage to the extent of $4,000 is
said to be the result of a fire which
was discovered last night shortly be-
fore Z o'clock in the barn Of NJ. f..
Brimmer on Hall street, Hoosick
Falls. Two barns were destroyed.
several residences were badly dam
aged and four mules and pony
were burned to death. The work of
the fire department was excellent and
it is claimed that if it had not been
for that there would have been a
confagation.
About G:30 O'Clock n passerby no
ticed dense volume of smoke is
suing from Brimmer's barn and i'm
mediately sounded the alarm. In a
short time the fire apparatus was on
the scene and at work. The barn
was a two-story frame structure and
within few minutes it was a seeth-
ing furnace. Four mules, small
black pony and a white horse own
ed by a theatrical man named Bris-
tol were in the structure, but the
firemen succeeded in freeing only
the horse The other animals, how
ever, with a quantity of harness,
blankets and feed, were burned.
a large barn. however, owned by
Frank II. White, a prominent pro
duce dealer of the place caught fire
and within short time was parti-
ally destroyed. The horses, harness
and wagons were taken out, but a
large quantity of hay, straw and
oats was ruined. Another smaller
barn owned by Samuel Bradley was
burned to the ground, and it is not
known as yet whether or not any
horses were lost owing to the fact
that a number of those taken out
went astray in the excitement which
attended the fire.
1t was not until the firemen, rein
forced by citizens, had worked for
several hours that the blaze was
finally under control, and at a late
hour last night streams were being
played upon the glowing embers.
That the fire was the result of a
carelessly thrown cigarette is the
opinion of the people of the place.
Brmmer's barn has long been a
gathering place for youths and yes.
terday afternoon at a late hour a
number of them were noticed com.
ing from the building and with Gig
arettes in their hands. II is thought
that one of these carelessly cast
aside ignited some OF the inlam
mable material about the barn and
caused tho fire.

How about a change of the name
Of the Northern TriState league to
the Northern league? The new title
would be shorter and have mean
ing. while the present name is not
a fit one for the circuit as only two
states are represented When the
league was first organized the Ad.
ans and North Adams teams from
this state. Bennington. VI. and Hoo
sick Falls, n. Y. composed the
league. but the latter city withdrew
and Rutland. VT. replaced it. This
left only Massachusetts and Yer
mont state clubs in the league.-Ref-
ere in Pittsheld Eagle.
The suggestion has features OF
merit. At the same time. il the
name Of the organization were
changed to Northern league there
would be an appropriation of a
name at one time carried by a cir
cult in northern Vermont and New
York u hardly seems necessary TO
change the name OF the league mere
~ because Hoosick Falls has drop.
ped out and because only two states
are now represented. While the Ref.
cree IS IN the remaining business he
might tackle the Twin-State. That
league az the present time is con,
posed OF two clubs in Massachusetts.
two in Vermont and two i'm New
Hampshire which Is certainly not a
Siamesc combination.

DIRECT ELECTIONS
New Method of Choosing Senators
C'evelop Complications.

Washington. July 20-Complica-
tons are predicted from the direct
election of United States Senators.
Most OF the trouble is expected to re
suit from the failure of STATE legisla-
lures &C provide promptly appropri-
ate methods for carrying out the re.
cent amendment to the Constitution.
Leaders OF the Senate majority are
more anxious about the situation
than the Republicans Should two
or more vacancies on the Democratic
side occur the narrow margin of pow
er in the Senate would be game.
Thirty-two Senatorial terms will
expire March 3. 1915. Some of the
States affected already have provid-
ed a method of popular election of
Senators, but great number Of
them have not, and vacancies caused
by death or resignation may call at
any time for a popular election.
Democratic members of the Com
mittee of Privileges and Elections
have considered the advisabiity Of

Some of them joined in singing
the Marseilaise Never before was
such a scene presented in front of
the Vatican
Yesterday, the guards were reliev-

their rifles were taken from them as
il was discovered that they had sue

When the reply TO their memorial

The East End team won in the
second game of the Bennington
league series played at the play
ground yesterday afternoon. The
winning team did not materially ex-
eel in batting but the West End
players were unfortunate in that
their errors came when there were
runners on the bases. Jenney
pitched good ball for the West End
team during the early innings but
worked so hard that he wearied in
the latter periods and lost his con
troll His support was discouraging
particularly in the fourth and fifth
innings when the East End players
scored most of their runs. The

Episcopal Guild Dance,

One OF the most brilliant affairs of
the season was the annual dance Civ
en- by the ladies of the St. David's
Guild. The hall was artistically dec
GRATED in green and white, a profu-
sion of potted plants being used,
green hangings at the windows and
green shades for the numerous can
dies. The ceiling and posts were fes.
TONED with tiny electric lights, thus
giving the room a very brilliant ef-
feet. The music was good through
out and greatly enjoyed by all the
dancers. A delicious supper was serv-
ed afterwards. about $50 couples do
ing full justice to the same. A spirit
of laughter and fun everywhere pre-
vailed, thus making the evening a
very successful one. The ladies wish
to thank the electric light companies
for the lights used and also those
who furnished plants and other dec
orations.
