NOTE OF WARMING
FROM FIRE WARDEN
Extreme Caution Urged Upon Persons
in Woods-Fres Injure Soil, Mar
Landscape and Cause Expense.

Editor of The Reformer:-
We have lately had two forest fires,
the most destructive | have had to deal
with These fires injure the soil, kill trees
of more or less value, and mar the land
scape, besides being a source of great ex-
pense to the town
The fighting Of them is the most trying
and exacting work imaginable Money
does not fully pay for such work
Anyone who carelessly or maliciously
starts these fires cannot be too strongly
condemned 1t is not easy to deal with
this matter by law. Each individual
should be very careful not to start fires
No man should allow himself to smoke on
forest land the merest spark may start a
bad fire, While we were fighting fire a
spark fell outside the fire line, dropping
in stump 60 feet away, starting Ere
the patrolman had hard work to extin-
guish.
I Men from West Brattleboro and Centre
vile responded freely to the call for help
Deputy Warden f. r. Thomas and men
were of great service, and men from West
| Guilford came and stayed by us and
helped US to literally beat out the fire.
| | again urge great caution about start
| ing fires, and prompt report to me
when fire is discovered.

THRILLS MAY BE HAD FREE
South Main Street Stairs a Feature
Fit to Rank With Coney Island

Editor of The Reformer -
New y ork has its Coney Island, Boston
has its Revere Beach, and so it goes with
each city, but none Of them can equal
the amusement park furnished by the
town of Brattleboro; and yet. how many
OF the people know of the place where so
much beauty and thrills are to be had
for nothing more than the trouble Of
walking up the South Main street hill?
For the benefit of those who have never
experienced the pleasures % kindly
spare the space in your paper for the fol-
lowing directions Walk up South Main
street hill, 90 through Pearl street to Cen
tral, then turn to the right to Prospect
street, again to the right and the view
over the town to the hills towards the
North and up the river can seldom be
equalled, never exeelled. When you reach
the head Of the stairs going to South Nam
street, If your heart is weak don't at
tempt to use them, for it is there the
thrills" are furnished.
Let me describe them WI hen yeu
stand at the top and look down there are
90 different twists and the ralllng looks
like the path made by a man on ms way
home after leaving the late tram IRON
Greenfield;l but the joys % OF a trip
down these stairs-who can describe
them? The first Jew steps give you conf
denee and you start out without realizing
what is in store, when you suddenly reach
one that tips forward and think it is go
ing to spin you the rest OF the way To
save yourself you grab the railing, which
falls off the upright. You then feel it is
4 case of do or die, so you go ahead

DEATH OF ALEXANDER E. ORR.
Former President of New York Life
Insurance Company.

NEW YORK, June 4.-Alexandcr +.
Orr, 81, former president of the old
rapid transit commission and one Of
the most prominent merchants in this
city, died yesterday. He was elected
president of the New York life in
surance company when he was nearly
IS.
Alexander Ector Orr settled perma-
nently in New York in 1850, after
visit from Ireland in the year pre-
vious. Mr.. Orr was then q shipping
clerk, but in 1861 he became part
ner in the firm of David Bows & Co.
Two years before this he had become
a member of the New York produce
exchange, of which he had been presi-
dent. From his father, man of
ScotchIrish stock, Mr.. Orr inherited a
considerable fortune. 1t has been said
of him through his efforts more than
those of anyone else New York remains
a great grain-shipping port. He
served on the canal commission of Gov.
Tilden, and in 1875 aided in exposing
the frauds of the canal ring
He was a Democratic presidential
elector in 1876. AS resident of
Brooklyn he supported Seth Low for
mayor in 1881, and again in 1888, and
advocated nonpartisanship in municipal
affairs. Mayor Chaplin appointed him
civilservice commissioner in 1883,
and he devoted much time and labor
to the thankless task of going over ex-
animation papers of applicants for po-
sitions as policemen, fremen, and
clerks in the city departments. He
was a member of the Hamilton club,
the Long Island historical society and
Grace Episcopal church of Brooklyn.
