The above figures are taken from reports of the City Commis- sioner. I will undertake to pub fish a statement for each month as often as I can secure the data. My only excuse for not publish ing these figures lsooner is that some time back a committee was appointed by me to check up the City Commissioners books and prepare full statement of the condition of the city that t h e same might be published; this committee has been unable to re port to this date but as soon as their report is filed it will be pub liShed in full.
 The City has recently purchas ed an air compressor for the new deep well pump at cost of ap prOXimately S2OOO.OO. It was necessary to purchase this com pressor in order that the proper water supply could be secured.

A Tip to Craftsmen That May Save
Time and Trouble,

Every craftsman has had occasion at
one time or another to color a drawing
or a white print. The use OF colored
inks is unsatisfactory; crosshatching in
colors obscures the details and Is slow,
while water colors have the disadvan-
tage OF slowness, besides being difficult
TO apply evenly.
A quick and satisfactory method OF
coloring involves the use Of ordinary
wax crayons and gasoline. Crayon OF
the color desired is applied and then
rubbed with a piece OF cloth wet with
gasoline until the color Is even and eI-
tended 10 the limits desired. II IL over
runs the lines II can be erased with a
pencil eraser. Some colors. particular
ly the yellows, parples. greens and light
blues. produce much better results than
others.

solves the wax from the crayon. leav-

MARRIED ATHLETE STAYS
Diamond, Wesleyan Football Star,
Makes Peace with the Faculty.

Middletown, Conn, July 14.-The
romantic marriage of Glenn X. Dia-
mond of Cherry Valley, N. Y, the
Wesleyan football star, whose elope-
ment with May Williams, a pretty
eighteen-year-old telephone operator
from Meriden. few months ago set
the whole college community by the
ears, will not interfere with the
athletes college course, according to
an announcement made by Presi-
dent William Arnold Shanklin today.
This breaks a long-established prece
dent in the football mans favor.
. Diamond will be Junior in the
fall and has for two seasons alter
mated at end and half back on the
Varsity football lteam. He has like
wise played two years on the base
ball team. His marriage to Miss
Williams took place last spring but
did not become public until a week
before college closed in June. Dia-
mond remained in town after the
close of the examination period and
finally made his peace with the col
lege authorities.
His bride is staying at her parents
home for the present.

The season lengthens but the Ben
nington team still has ON the list
three players who are hitting the pill
for better than 800. The conspic
Gus feature of the last eight games
has been the remarkable batting of
Conley, who has jumped from .2s5 to
.34s. Since he has been played on
the infleld Edgar has apparently lost
his batting eye and has dropped from
the list of 300 hitters. AS he is bat
ting for .296 a couple of hits in the
next game would put him inside the
mark again. Prindle has made a
slight improvement and Connolly has
about held his own. Shea has jump
ed his figures few points and Con-
nors is within 10 points of his rec
ord for the first IS games. With
seven players batting .270 or better
the team must be considered a strong
hitting aggregation. The averages
below are compiled without the rec
ord of the morning game played in
Rutland on July 4:

H0RSETHIEF LAST
SEEN ON ROAD TO
SHREWSBURY
Stole Mare and Colt from Rut-
land Fire Clay Co.
SNAPPED FOR ANCIENT sTEED
Rode Away Into Mountainous coun
try and Is Still at
Large.

Rutland, July 15.-Another, case of
horse theft has been reported to
States Attorney B. L. Stafford and
the sheriffs department is looking
for Fred Hood, who is charged with
stealing a mare and colt Sunday
from the management of the Rutland
Fire Clay company. The animals
have been recovered, but the thief
had traded them for another horse,
and on the back of this quadruped
the man Is still at large, or at least
no report of his arrest had been
made up to late hour last night by
the officers who are still trailing
him.
Hood is something of a foater,
and had been working for the Fire
clay people since July /. He was
discharged few days ago, and the
company thought it had gotten rid
Of him. Either late Saturday night
or early Sunday morning Hood broke
into the barn at the plant in the
southern part of the city, and took
saddle and bride. Going to the
pasture nearby he saddled the mare
there, and led off the colt.
The next heard of him WAS when
he appeared at the home of Mrs
Parker on the Notch road and trad
ed his mount and her offspring fol-
horse owned by the women.
This was late Sunday. The horse
procured from Mrs. Parker is said to
be very ancient animal, about two
generations removed from the pro-
genitor which rode in Noah's ark.
Hood kept the saddle which he had
stolen from the Fire Clay people.
and the last seen of him was when
he was riding off on his charger in
the direction Of Shrewsbury. The
mare and colt were discovered by
Deputy Sheriff A. A. Leonard.
Hood is about 10 years old, small,
weighing about 120 pounds with
smooth shaver face, and was wear
ing a cap and gray checked suit.
The animal he is hiding is a chest
nut, with q white star in the fore
head, and is afflicted with the heaves

SPECIAL REPORT
ON TELEPHONE
CHARGES
Investigation Ordered by Cover
nor Fletcher
RATES MAY Be REDUCED
Cover Fletcher viii Take the Cues
ton Up With the Public
Service Commission.

Montpelier, July 1.-THE investiga-
ton of the service and rates OF the
New England Telephone & Telegraph
company and subsidiary lines in the
northern counties of the state, which
has been made during the past two
months by e. A. Cook of Lyndonville
and w. A. Graham Of Bellows Falls,
special counsel for the state, has
been completed and the report was
today presented to Gov. Allen NJ.
Fletcher, who came to the capitol to
meet Mr. Cook and Mr.. Graham.
The report, which is of considera-
BILE length, has been filed with the
public service commission which Is
in session here tonight. Though no
intimation is given out as to its con-
tents it is understood to contain many
recommendations calculated to i'm
prove the service not only in the ter
ritory in which the majority of COM
plants arose but throughout the
state.
II is understood that the report
goes into details concerning the mat
ter of materially reducing rates and
that its recommendations will deal
to a considerable extent with this
feature of the situation. Though ev-
eryone connected with the investiga-
ton refuse TO make any statement
this evening IL is believed that the
public service commission has been
considering the matter of proceeding
against the telephone companies
with view TO bringing about a more
satisfactory condition of affairs.
Whether c. NO the commission will
decide that has power to compel
the companies 20 heed the recon-
mendations In The report or whether
1t will be necessary . bring the mat
ter before the courts is a matter of
considerable speculation in this cit
Co.. Fletcher said tonight that the
report would be made public through
the press ut he could not say Just
when, though he intima,ed tina 1t
might be given out within day or
two. He aoAr lodged that the doc
ument cont ins number OF decided
~ interesting features savera OF
which may prove sensational.
Gov. Fletcher has been in confer
ence with the public service commits
sion this evening, going over the re-
port in detail.

MYSTERY OF THE PLAGUE.
How and Why Did II Disappear From
England In 1857


Why did the plague disappear from
England2 Mr.. Bernard Shaw incl
dentally asks this deeply interesting
question In letter to the Nation, and
we cannot say that we are satisfied
with his answer. He says he knows"
that plague has been "extirpated" by
common sanitation"
Until the recent sporadic imported
cases. the last recorded cases OF plague
in England occurred at Nottingham in
1867. In that year plague vanished ut
terly from England for two and half
centuries. No one who has examined
the records OF the seventeenth century
can believe that IL was "extirpated" by
sanitation. Very gradually In the sue
ceeding century and a half plague
withdrew from Europe also.
The date of its disappearance from
Constantinople has been fixed at about
the year 1871. II remained endemic
only In a few lonely places in the
world. such as the highlands OF west
ern Arabia. Yunnan in China and Mes
opotamia. Sanitation. though an ex-
cellent palliative, certainly never drove
the plague from STEAMBOAT and Cairo
and the southern Mediterranean, any
more than 1t did from England.
The shrinkage OF plague is as great
a mystery as the recent outburst which
infected the whole world. Perhaps the
explanation is that in a few years bac-
terra may go through the myriad trans
forming processes OF evolution which
In the case OF humanity take cons TO

MRS. PANkHURST
IN STRUGGLE
BUT GOT AWAY
Suffragettes Battle With the
London Police
MISS KENNEy WAS CAPTURED
Both Women Have Recently Been in
Jail But Got Out Through
Hunger Strike.

I. London, July 14.-Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, the leader of the suffra'
gettes, made her escape from the
police today under exciting circum-
stances. With Miss Annie Kennedy
one of the most ardent of the mill
tants, she appeared this afternoon
at a meeting of the Women Social
and Political union.
Both women, although they were
suffering severely from the effects
of their recent hunger strike in pri-
son, delivered stirring addresses.
Mrs. Pankhurst announced she
would rather die than submit to the
government. my challenge to the
government is Give me freedom or
kill me-" she said.
Miss Kenney auctioned off two of
her licenses under the Cat and
Mouse" act for $50 each.
The police undertook to arres,
Mrs. Pankhurst and Miss Kenney.
Mrs. Pankhurst fed from the build
ing. making her escape in taxicab.
She was pursued, but so wild were
the scenes of disorder outside the
pavilion that she got away in thte
confusion. Late tonight she was at
her apartment in Westminster, and
the police made no further attempt
to place her under arrest. The fact
that three other women were arrest
ed led to the belief that one Of
them was Mrs. Pankhurst
The attempt to arrest Miss Kenney
precipitated free fight, in which
we'll dressed men and women engag-
ed in hand-to-hand fights with the
police. Umbrellas and sticks were
freely used. The police succeeded in
forcing Miss Kenney into an automo-
bile and drove her TO Holloway Jail.
