Effect of an EXPLOSION.

Father Leonard has been in St.
Johnsbury longer than any other
minister now here and has taken an
interest in the affairs of the town
whether directly or indirectly con-
nected with his church. In the ten
years of his ministry at St. Aloysius
he has done a great deal toward
clearing the parish debt. In that
time SIS, 900 has been paid toward
the principal and $5,399.72 inter
est, a showing of which any man
might be proud. Before coming to
st. Johnsbury Jan. Is, 1904, Faith
er Leonard, who is a native of Linn
erick, Ireland, was for a year at St.
Andrews church, Waterbury.

goes, is three times a slarge as St.
Aloysius in number of parishioners,

largest meeting Of the series at G.
A. r. Hall, West Burke where the
crowd was SO great that after all
aisles were filled with chairs and
every available inch of space was
filed, including the hallway, many
had to 60 away, being unable TO gain
admittance Considering the fact
that there was severe
down pour of rain at that
hour it was one of the most remark
able meetings ever held in that hustl-
ing and busy village. At 7:4E the
village schools, headed by the teach
ers. entered the hall with American
flags and singing America and took
seats reserved for them in the front
OF the hall. 1t was both interesting
and most inspiring. Rev. Mr.. Angel
opened the meeting with prayer and
the M. Z. church choir rendered sew
eral selections in a very pleasing
manner. Mr.. Angel then delivered
ten-minute ermon of unusual
power and interest. Mr.. Jeffrey ad-
dressed the meeting giving in detail
the result of his Investigations and
outlining the proposed campaign for
Restoring the Bible to the
schools of the state. He gave the
result of the work done during the
first three weeks as follows: 1000
pieces of literature has been sent out,
81 Bibles have been given to 81 OF
the public schools and eight public
meetings have thus far been held.
At the close of his very interesting
address he introduced the state
superintendent of education who,
for half an hour, talked in highly
instructive and interesting manner
and at his close was given most
hearty applause. Mr.. Stone called
attention to the fact that we were
permitted to study the teachings OF
Confucius and Mohammed but were
denied the study of the wisdom OF
Solomon and the teachings of Christ
That the reading of the Bible could
be no more an interference with re
ligious belief than the reading OF
the mythology of Rome and Greece
could be construed as interfering
with religious belief or an affrma-
ton of the pagan creeds. Our chill
dren may know of Plato and
Homer, why should they remain
strangers to the Psalms of David Oh
counsels of Isaiah? At the close Mr.
| Stone presented three copies of the

special stress upon the fact that they
were to be read, but read without
comment.
Thus this series came to a most
successful close, many hundreds OF
people, in the several towns, had
! listened intently and gone to theil
homes profoundly impressed with
the thought that the Bible is nc
longer read in hundreds of oul
schools, but with the determination
that under the leadership of Mr.
jeffrey they will give every possible
laid to its speedy restoration.

Automobile Party Struck by a Train
and Mrs. Frank Brown Injured
What narrowly escaped being a
fatal accident occurred at the cross
ing Saturday afternoon when Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Brown of South Ryegate
accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. James
Gardner of Boltonville were return
ing from an auto trip to St. Johns
bury. AS their car reached the
crossing it was struck by the air
line, south, throwing it to one side
and badly demolishing the front OF 1t.
The occupants miraculously escaped
serious injury beyond bruises and a
severe shaking up, with the
exception of Mrs. Brown who was
thrown from the car and suffered a
severe injury to one knee. Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown were taken to their home
by F. ]. Tewksbury and Mr.. and Mrs.
Gardner were taken by M. H. Gibson
to their sons home at Ryegate Cor
ner. This is a particularly blind
crossing at any time owing TO a
sharp rise at the crossing and build
ings on either side of the road close
to the tracks and was rendered
more so at this time by a freight
train on the siding which had drawn
apart to open the crossing and COM
pletely hid an approaching train
from view.

BIBLE FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Four Meetings Held ia County Sat
urday and Sunday

urday and SUNDAY
Four meeting of unusual import
ance and interest were held in this
county Saturday evening and Sun
day. These meetings were held IN
the interest of the campaign TO re-
store the Bible to the public schools
OF Vermont. For some time the
state councillor of the Jr. o. U. A M,
William III. Jenrey of East Burke,
has been conducting a careful ana
quiet Investigation as TO the exact
condition In the state. Reply cards
received from hundreds OF represen-
tative men in every part OF the state
Indicated not only an overwhelming
sentiment for non-sectarian Bible
reading In the public schools, but for
a reasonable provision to be made
by law. not such a provision as shall
interfere with anyone's belief or
greatest personal liberty, but at such
a provision as shall give to the youth
of the state a better understanding
OF The Book, upon which all civilized
governments rest and from which all
civilization has come. A few weeks
ago the campaign was formally open
ed at East Burke by a very large
mass meeting, at which Bibles we're
given to nine of the schools or Burke
and addresses of interest were made.
A mass meeting was held at North
DanVille last Saturday at which Hon.
Mason S. Stone, William III. jeffrey
and Rev j. b. Higgins spoke. The
church was well filed, notwithstand-
ing that a heavy rain prevented many
from attending. The deepest inter-
est and closest attention was given
to the speakers who presented the
question from a broad and liberal
point of view, simply urging that we
return to the custom of the fathers,
which had given us the finest type
oA wiomanhood and manhood the
world had ever known. A very no
table incident of the meeting was
when Union superintendent, Har-
vey Burbank, rose in his seat and
said that he had 'come to scott, but
would remain to pray" that the
cause was of vastly greater import
ance than he had supposed and
pledged to do whatever he could to
assist in the campaign. Six Bibles
were given to the six schools.
Sunday morning, Mr.. Stone, Rev
Fred b. Blodgett and Mr.. Jeffrey
went to Kirby westinghouse and
there had a remarkable meeting, for
while there are less than 800 inhabi-
tants in the town, the church was SO
crowded that chairs had 10 be
brought in and placed in the aisles
The meeting was one of enthusiasm
Five copies of the Bibles were pre-
sented to the schools of the town.
At two o'clock the same speakers
held a very largely attended meeting
at the Methodist church at Lyndon
and were closely listened to by al
present. The village school chill
dren marched in in a body singing
America. Superintendent Stone
gave the schools of that part of the
town, in behalf of the Jr. o. U. A
M, and Daughters OF Libert!
seven copies of the Holy Bible TO
use in the schools.

REDUCING FIRE RISKS
Some Rules Promulgated by the Fire
Chief of Boston of Local Value

Chief of Boston of Local Value
In connection with the observance
of Fire Prevention day in Massachu-
sets, Chief Mullen of Boston issued
the following rules which might be
we'll followed in ST. Johnsbury.
The rules drawn by the fire COM
missioner follow:
Fire alarm boxes are located near
your house and place of employment.
You should know the location of
these boxes. You should know how
to ring the fire alarm.
This is the method:
In case of fire go to the box and
open the door. On the inside you
will find a hook. Pull this hook
all the way down once and let go.
Opening the door rings bell but
does not give the alarm.
Listen for the working of the ma
chinery in the box. If you do not
hear it pull the hook again If
then there is no sound go to the
nearest box. Repeat the same thing
here.
Do not touch any other box if you
hear the machinery in the first one
moving.
After giving the alarm remain at
the box to direct the firemen to the
fire.
If you do not understand these di-
rections go to the nearest fire station
The officer in charge will instruct
| you.
Cautions: Never open the box OF
touch the hook except in case OF
fire; never give an alarm for a fire
seen at a distance; be reasonably
sure that there is a fire before giving
an alarm.
For Fire Prevention
The fire prevention rules drawn
by Chief Mullen are as follows:
Be careful in the use of matches
Use only safety matches. Always
keep them in metal holders. Dom
light them in closets where light
/ dresses or materials are hung. Dom
light them near lace curtains. BE
careful in lighting swinging gal
lets or lamps near curtains.
Never use kerosene in starting {
fire.
Keep all light materials, such al
cotton, muslin, lace, etc, away from
stoves and lighted lamps or gas jets
Never look for gas leak with i;
lighted match, candle or lamp. Not
ify the Gas Company.
Never put hot ashes. oily rags Of
infiammable waste in wooden boxes
or barrels. Metal receptacles shoulc
be used.
Never allow rubbish, shayings
etc. TO accumulate in cellars, OF
roofs, stairways, halls, fire escapes
etc. If your neighbor allows 1t not
ify the police or Fire Department.
Never use gasoline for cleaning
II purposes in closed room. The fumes
that gasoline gives of, when confined

\ WOMAN'S SACRIFICE

BY Frank Filson.
ECome here, girl; don't look at me

so much mingled hatred and admira-
ton that the elder woman flashed her

exactly as they did in the posters

you"
How old are you, child?" inquired
Miss Ingleby.
Twenty" said Elsie defiantly. ~
"And Tom?'
"Tom is twenty-five. And you
must be nearly thirty" said Elsie.
$50 know you don't mean to mar,
ry Tom. And we were to be married
at Christmas, and now-now he
won't speak to me-"
The match between Elsie Lennon
and Tom Banks was approved by all
Kentville, for Tom was rising young
business man of the town and Elsie's
father, old Major Lennon, who kept
the summer hotel, had been one OF
the first settlers. And they had been
sweethearts for years.
Since the singer had come to spend
a couple of weeks vacation, however,
he had had no eyes for poor little
Elsie. He seemed fascinated by the
older woman's bright eyes and witty
talk, her mature ways and air OF
the world.
Never you mind; you shall have
your Tom again" whispered Miss In
gleby encouragingly.
But it seemed harder problem
that Miss Ingleby had expected. She
had not meant to lead Tom on. But
a woman of the world often forgets
that the light interchange of repartee
and bandinage may be the cut and
thrust of mortal earnest to an mex
perienced young man.
1t was Tom who furnished her with
her opportunity that evening when
they sat together on the piazza.
Miss Ingleby,'' he Sid, Il want to
tell you something. You are going
away on Thursday-but 1 don't want
you to go out of my life. You have
