AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"The Spendthrift," Latest Dramatic SEN
sation, in Barre Saturday.

At the opera house next Saturday,
matinee and night, theatregoers will
have the opportunity of seeing the lat
est New York dramatic sensation, "The
Spendthrift" 1t is from the pen OF
Porter Emerson Browne, whose "a Foo
There Was" first brought him into prom
inence as a playwright.
Mr.. Brownies play deals with a silly,
vain and extravagant woman who Il,
Of course, pretty, kittenish and lovable.
Her sole enjoyment in life is culled from
society and she believes that her social
position should be kept intact at all
hazards.
Throughout the play there is pretty
little love story between the wife's sis
ter and the husbands brother, to prove
the assertion that the home built on
the cornerstone of true love and sacrifice
will become the home of happiness.
Louise Price will appear as the frivolous
wife and John Blake as the indulgeut
husband. Laura Tintle will be the little
sister, who early in her career, discoe-
ers where true happiness lies. Sarah De
Grose will be the Aunt Gretchen (Hetty
Green dramatized), an old woman with
one foot in the grave and the other in
Wall street. The other characters are
in the hands of capable actors.-Adv.

Submarine Signalling.

One hesitates to recommend an ar
ticle on the commercial market, lest one
be suspected of "axe-grinding," but the
recent disaster on the sea raises the in
quiry whether the submarine signal sys-
tenn has been developed to its full meas
ure of possibility. This is an American
idea, Boston idea, and good idea"
with all. The Titanic was equipped for
receiving signals from shore, but had no
bell with which it might have received an
echo from the giant iceberg, and so haye
been warned. This suggests to the lay
man the thought that this wonderful de-
vice of very great practical effective
ness, may be widened in scope still
The marine world is doing a good deal
with the invention now, but2it ought to
do a great deal more. And there is no
better reason for Withholding allusion to
these possibilities, because &he device is
on the market, than in the case of the
wireless, the praise of which is on every
tongue. Marconi's invention calls after
the blow has fallen. Submarine signal
ling averts the blow. II prevents the
collision. IL is the ounce of prevention.
1t should accordingly be prescribed much
more completely than now, and-per-
haps-in increased doses. - Boston

CURRENT COMMENT
The Fire at vergennes.

The destruction by fire Saturday of
the administration building at the Yer
mont Industrial school emphasizes the
need of modern construction at public
institutions. The building, though of
brick, was of the veneered type, and the
wide spaces between the studding within
the walls permitted the flames to sweep
through the structure almost imme-
diately after the fire was discovered. The
statement by superintendent j. n. Barss
that the fire probably originated from
defective electric wiring also emphasizes
the need of extreme care in this feature
of construction. The fact had long been
known that the wiring was antiquated
and in other buildings at the school
changes had been made. 1t was planned
to rewire the administration building
this week.
In emphasizing the needs of public in
stitutions as regards protection for in
mates the fire at Vergennes is a remind
err that there should always be an ade-
quate high pressure water supply avail
able. Nergennes does not possess such
system though it has fire department
and water supply that will compare fav
orably with those in other places of its
size in the state. The topography of the
country about the city of Vergennes
win not permit installing anything like
a high pressure gravity system except at
high expense.
In view of these conditions heavy in
surance must be carried on the indus
trial school property-Sl00,000 on the
six buildings of the plant. As the adj
ministration building is a total loss its
pro rata share under the blanket policy
will doubtless go well toward rebuilding
the structure. But, in view of the
crowded condition of the institution will
it be wise to rebuild without taking into
consideration the needs of the future
for many yearsH The penal board, with
the approval of the governor, has au-
tbority to rebuild and will do so imme-
diately. The board can reasonably ex-
pect generous treatment at the next SEES
sion of the legislature if it asks for an
appropriation and in view of the need of
such an appropriation it may be well to
provide temporary accommodations for
the school until the board can explain
TO the general assembly the need of pro-
viding modern building.
That there were no casualties in con-
neetion with the burning of the building
is of first importance and the fact that
of the $50 boys temporarily deprived of
home none attempted to escape speaks
well for the honor system in vogue at
the school, Rutland Herald.

YOUNG FoRGER ON PROBATION.
Ray E. Bronson Was First Sentenced
for Two Years.

L Rutland. Feb. 4.-Ray f. Bronson,
aged 20 years, who is member of
prominent family in East Charlotte,
pleaded guilty before Judge F. G. Swim
merton yesterday in city court to the
charge of forgery and was placed on
probation with house of correction
sentence of two years hanging over him
if he does not live up to the conditions
which will be made by Probation Officer
John J. Hickey. Bronson must pay costs
of about Sll and reimburse Mrs. Kath-
crime Humphrey Of Grove street for
money she gave him in cashing worth
less check.
Bronson has been boarding with Mrs.
Humphrey and he owed her for weeks
board Having gone into the tailor es-
tablishment oil A. Kesman on Center
street to get pair of trousers pressed,
Bronson happened to notice the propri-
etors check book showing that he had
deposit in the Clement National bank.
Later obtaining blank check from this
bank, Bronson signed Kesman's name,
after making the check ont or SOS. 1t
was this that Mrs. Humphrey eashed
and which led to Bronson's arrest. The
boy has not lived at home for five years.

Spinney Against o. V. Hooker & Son il
Caledonia County Court.

st. Johnsbury, Feb. 4.-The negligence
suit of Jennie Spinney, administrators
of the estate of her husband, Edwin
Spinney. against the firm of 0. v. Hook
er & Son, in which the American Fidel-
ity & Guaranty Co. of Montpelier is an
interested party, is now being tried in
Caledonia county court. Mr.. Spinney
was killed in the Hooker machine shops
last March. 1t is alleged that he was
electrocuted while working in danger
Gus and unsafe place. The evidence tends
to show that he was wet and had ocea-
sion to use portable electric light and
in so doing he was eleetrocuted by a
surcharged wire and ground"
The case will last well into the week.
Mr.. Spinney left widow and three lit
tie girls.

GOODNESS IN EMERGENCY.

She was a good actress--the woman
who ordered the orchestra to strike up
lively tune and who continued singing
while the 700 people in the theatre were
thrown into a panic at the cry Of
Fight" installing it for cry of fire.
II was largely through her efforts that
the panic was stopped to the extent that
the wild rush for the exits turned into
an orderly passing out in reasonably
well-arranged lines of men, women and
children. Not all men--or women eth
er--would have had the presence of mind
of Eta Golden, who from her vantage
point on the stage was enabled to see
that the audience had misinterpreted
the cry of Eight" which came from
an upper balcony and who realized what
terrible consequences would come about
il the panic-stricken people were not re-
assured in some way, Then, having
sensed the situation, she followed the
most natural course, which was to con-
tinue the act in which she was appear
ing. while at the same time warning
the orchestra to continue playing. That
there was no loss of life was due almost
entirely to her cool action and display
of rearlessness, aided, of course, by the
management of the theatre who came
upon the stage and explained to the
audience that there was no danger
However, there might not be Eta Gold
ems in every theatre, and even il there
were it would be risky indeed to go
through the same performance and aris-
ing from the same causes. The only
remedy. therefore, is to suppress the
fools who make cutlery of the sort cal
culated to throw audiences into fear
and then panic. In this case they were
only few degrees short of the Grim
inal who raised an outcry in Calumet.
Mich, audience few weeks ago and
started a rush that killed scores Of peo-
pie. There were possibilities for repe-
tition of the Calumet tragedy in the
New York theatre but for the presence
of a real leader like the singer on the
stage.

which are for minimum salary OF $500

are now receiving. On the other hand

1t probably goes without saying that
the new main building to be erected at
the Vermont state industrial school will
be built along the most approved lines
of present day architecture; that the
walls will be solid and that the build
ing will be fortified against complete de-
struction by fire by means OF Prevails
between the sections of the building.
As we are informed the walls in the
structure which was burned last Satur-
day afternoon were of brick veneer and
not of very stable construction, making
comparatively easy prey to the flames
in view of the fact that the water pres
sure of the Yergennes fire department
was not very strong at that point. The
new building ought to be built for sta
blity, as well as for comfort of the oc-
cupants, inasmuch as it is the cheapest
and most satisfactory manner OF build
ing in the end, both as TO upkeep and
heating. 1t is likely that Vergennes will
do all it can to give the protection which
the little city is able to command, for
every community in which the state in
stitutions are located has well-defined
duty in this respect.
