OF individuals stranded abroad OF the
latter sum. nearly 100000 was received
yesterday, representing ninety three de-
posts.
More remittances are expected to be
placed with the treasury authorities
here, and it was regarded as likely that
a second shipment of gold would be
sent, probably on the cruiser North Car
olina.
The Tennessee's gold goes as bulk
lot of government money. The individ-
ual depositors' names are not mentioned,
but the delivery of the money will be
made to individual drawees who have or
ders from their American shippers. This
plan, directed by the war department, is

which is forwarding gold to London by

CONTRACT STARTED
Batter boards Set To-day for Annex to
Spaulding School Building-W. E.
Jackson of Montpelier to Have
Charge.

When carpenters began this morning
to lay the batter boards for the Spauld-
ing school annex, work was under way
on the third big building job to be start
ed in Barre within week. Excavation
work on the new Barre City hogpital
which is to be reared across the high
way from the school addition on Wash
ington street is practically completed;
batter boards for the new hotel to oc-
cupy the site of the old City hotel on

and the work will be pushed rapidly for
ward; now the school commissioners,
who have the job in hand, propose to
hasten the excavation as much as pos
sible.
Detailed figures of the schoolhouse
contract are not at hand. More than
year ago around $4,000 was approprl-
ated in city meeting for the erection OF
a much needed addition to Spauldng high
school This sum, it soon developed,
would have been inadequate for the
kind Of structure desired and at city
meeting held last March the school COM
missioners asked for an additional $780,
900 or thereabouts They got it and
with the sum of $4,000 appropriated,
the commission set about to draw up
their specifications. Considerable delay
in awarding the contract has been en-
countered, but the chairman of the COM
mission committee which has the over
sight of the building project, stated to-
day that the contract had been awarded
W. f. Jackson of Montpelier.
In its style or architect, the annex
will conform to that of Spaulding school.
Three stories in height, the walls are to
be of solid brick. 1t is planned to finish
two floors into recitation rooms while
the second story viii be an assembly
hall Before the changes on the campus
are completed it is believed that a new
heating apparatus viii be installed in
the building. The contractor, Mr.. Jack
son, has had charge Of several building
projects in Barre. Last winter he com
pleted the erection of the new North
Barre schoolhouse on Beckley street.

London, Aug. THE moral effect of
the German check at Liege is immense,
particularly so in regard to Italy, in
view of the report, not yet confirmed, of
the German ultimatum to that power.
The Italian ambassador here issued a
statement first. that the neutrality OF
Italy in the present war was not merely
a matter of self-interest, but in strict
accord with both the letter and spirit
OF her obligations under the terms of
the Triple Alliance.
However unpopular war in which
she fought side by side with Germany
and Austria might have been in Italy,
the Italian government would have un-
dertake such a war rather than go back
on her plighted word. and, second, every
one who reads the blue book just pub
ished can see how many and earnest
have been the efforts of Italy 10 main
tain peace in Europe. and that in this
matter she was impelled by her sympa-
thy for England. The rupture that has
since taken place was a calamity which
it was not in Italy's power to avert.

eighty per cent Of trades, and ninety
per cent of the railroads deny drink
ing men chance to work for wages
and earn living for themselves aud
their families. Thus it is a fact
that when a young man gives him
self 10 drinking that he deliberatel y
handicaps himself in a race Of life.
Nobody wants to hire man that
drinks. A drunkard is fit neither
for business nor for public office-he
is not successful saloon keeper.
Other phases of this economic
problem only bring up more points
against the saloon. For the farmer
it is proven that the liquor affords a
market for such a small per cent OF
his grains that he could very well do
without this market. The year.
1907 shows that the liquor market
used only ,241 per cent OF the whole
grain crop that year. One OF the
most significant and important
phases of the economic problem is
the relation of strong brink to life
insurance. Striking an average
from the experience of three repres-
ehtive old line companies, The
Mutual Life Insurance &C. of New
York, The Sceptre Life Insurance
Society of London and The Scottish
Temperance Life Assurance Co. OF
Scotland, we find the results as
folio VS.: OF each one hundred alb
stainers who are expected to die
within a given time, only fifty-nine
died, out of one hundred non alb
stainers who during the same time
were expected to die, eighty-two
died. Or. to put il in still other
terms. every time one hundred
abs tainers die, one hundred and
thirty eight drinkers diel
The financial argument in truth is
the smallest argument and really
ought to be the last one to consider
in the campaign against the saloon.
Talk about $1,000 standing in the
way OF voting out the saloons, we
should not hesitate to vote them out
il it cost the city seven times Seven
Thousand Dollars. There is no sum
of money big enough to take the
place for all the lives that are being
sacrificed every day in our city
because of the saloon. Vote the
saloons out!
