PREACHED CIVIC CLEANLINESS.
Many Barre Ministers Started the Clean.
Up Campaign.

From nearly every pulpit in the city
yesterday was proclaimed the doctrine
Of civic cleanliness as preliminary
move in starting the big cleanup, paint
mp campaign which started this morning
when householders in every section of
Barre observed "fire prevention" day by
removing aceumulations of inflammabIe
material around their premises. Since a
iairly surprising number of local fires
IRE started through the earelessness of
individuals in leaving old boxes, papers,
rtc., about their buildings, no end of
good results are predicted to follow.
Almost from the outset the clean up
movement has received the spontaneous
endorsement of everyone and the general
sommittee which is working out the
larger details of the campaign feels that
The work is well started.
Tonight there will be meeting of
lhe general committee and others inter
ssted in the city court room at 1880
p'clock. At that time the final arrange
ments for presenting the work will be
completed and persons who are to have
rharge of the campaign in its various
phases are to be assigned to different
localities. A number of features cal
mlated to further the movement are to
be announced tomorrow.

BARRE HISTORICAL COLLECTION.
Cases Have Been Installed in Room al
the City Hall.

The historical committee of the Barre
Woman's club has been for some time
preparing to install cases in one of the
rooms OF the city building where articles
OF historical. genealogical or antiquarian
value could be safely stored. These cases
are now ready in a large well equipped
room, which was made available for this
use through the courtesy of the school
and cemetery commissioner
The club was first moved to take this
step when by accident it discovered that
some articles of priceless value, hstori-
cally, had been given to other cities by
some of our citizens because we had no
place to collect and care for such things.
The committee now makes its appeal to
everyone, as our cleanup movement is
at hand, TO be careful that in their zeal
and the confusion and hurry incident to
housccleaning, they do not DESTROY any
old books, papers, pamphlets, records, le-
gai documents, maps or pictures any
homespun fabrics. ancient household
utensils, eandlesticks, oil lamps lanterns,
tableware, of pottery, pewter, brass or
brittania, cutlery, or any cooking uten.
sils used with fireplaces and brick ovens.
The inestimable value of such articles
to genealogist, to antiquarian or TO the
children in our public schools is quite
generally understood and the committee
hopes that the citizens of Barre will give
this matter second thought before de-
stroying any articles which could pos
sibly be desirable in their collection.
Anyone having articles which he would
be willing to place in this collection,
either as loans or gifts, is asked to COM
municate with Miss Wheelock, l45 North
Main street, or Mrs. Phelps, l6 Park
street.

STOLE ACTRESS WARDROBE.
Found Most of 1t Too Abbreviated, but
Took the Pumps.

The police have a pinkrbbon and bro
cade mystery TO untangle. They are
looking for the connoisseur in decolete
whose penehant for feminine finery
tempted him to steal from the platform
at the Central Vermont station some
time last night trunkful of show Ia
dies trappings belonging to the London
Gaiety Girls, whose antics in the Barre
opera house made fun for small audi
ence of ballet lovers Saturday night
After the performance, the scene shifted
to the station, where a crew of drowsy
vanman's helpers dumped the gaiety lug
gage onto the platform and departed. 1t
stayed there unmolested until last night.
This morning the company started to
check their baggage for Woodsville, n.
H., and discovered the loss of trunk.
Now comes the police.
Following dilgent search in the early
forenoon hours, the officers traced the
trunk thief on his noctural excursion to
the stoneshed belt. In the rear of the
Melcher & Hadley plant they found the
trunk. Yards and yards of briliantine,
abbreviated skirts and low neck gowns
which the broilers wear, were scattered
hither and yon, but pair of parisian
pumps were missing. Obviously the
night air and the little patter of rain
that came hadn't done the merchandise
any good. but a rather relieved actor
man gathered the gowns together and
an officer took the trunk to police head
quarters. The police really haven't any
clue to the perpetrator of the theft, but
a couple members of the company stayed
in town to-day TO aid in the search.
Fifty dollars worth OF raiment reposed
in the several sections of the trunk, the
show people said, and only a part Of it
viii ever do to wear before the foot
lights again.

Fred Carr of Waterbury arrived in

In one of the first soccer football
games in Vermont this season, the Bon
accord club of this city met defeat at
the hands of the Hardwick A. A. at
Hardwick on Saturday afternoon. The
Hardwick team penetrated the defense
of the Barre team for two goals, while
the Bonaceords left without scoring. The
game was witnessed by large attend
ance, which included many Barre fans,
who made the trip by automobiles. At
the close of the game the Barre players
were entertained by the Hardwick club.
The first soccer football game of the sea-
son took place at Graniteville last Fri
day night when the Barre Rangers,
champions of the 1913 Vermont Foot
ball league, defeated the Barre Town
team by the score of to 0. The direct
ors of the Vermont Football league are

FIRE IN MAPLE AVENUE CELLAR.
Tenants of the House Were Away When
Firemen Arrived.

Smoke billowing from basement win
dow at 81 Maple avenue Sunday after
noon was responsible for a telephone
alarm sent in TO the fire station at 2:40
O'Clock The folks at No. 67 were out
for a walk when the auto truck and a
detail of regulars arrived, so the firemen
had to force their way into the house.
Smoke enyeloped the entire building, but
once the men with the chemical reached
the basement, they were able to strike
at the very beginnings of the fire. The
blaze had wormed its way through the
floor and had burst through the north
wall of the house before it could be
headed. Chief Gladding said the loss
would not exceed $50. The G. H. Pape
agency carries insurance on the building,
and the household effects of the tenant,
Zaccheus O. Lambert, are insured with
the Granite Mutual Co. The house is
owned by Mrs. Della Scott, who is away
just now.
Zaccheus Lambert's family had gone
for a walk when he betook himself TO
the cellar to black his shoes. Mr.. Lam
bert was smoking pipe and he believes
with the chief that a spark from the
fumng bowl may have had something
to do with starting the fire. After Civ
ing his shoes reassuring swipe with
the brush, Mr.. Lambert left the house
and didn't know much about the fire un-
til he returned home. He is mourning
the loss OF secretary, so-called, which
he says was 100 years old and more.
The secretary was badly burned on two
sides. Owing to the presence of much
inflammable material in the basement,
the firemen were hard put to it in reach
ing the center of the fire. Before leav-
ing, the chief reminded the tenant of the
house that to-day is fire prevention day
in the big cleanup campaign. Mr.. Lam
bert said he would see to preventing any
more fires in his cellar
