$4,000 Fire at Orange.

The factory of the Bolander-Parker
shoe company at. Orange was burned
just before 3 o'clock Saturday morn
ing. The stock was practically ruined,
but it difficult to estimate the loss on
the buildings at present. Two items of
the stock, finished and unfinished,
amount to over 100000, and probably
the damage to the buildings will be
much more. The entire plant is insured
through the agency of James d. kim
ball Of Orange in blanket form for
.Sl23,0O0.
According 20 the Na'chman, the fire
was discovered in three places at about
the same time. The plant was first used
for the manufacture of Grout automo-
biles by the Grout company several
years ago until they went out of bus
mess.
The Bolander-Pa Parker shoe company
went to Orange from Lynn about year
and a half ago, and for some time did
q good business, but the company s bus
mess was placed in the receivers hands
a few months ago. The receivers are
| Fred A. Dexter Of Orange and James
| \. Smith of Boston, who represent the
creditors. They were soon to close out
the business of the company. The fire
of course, brought it to an unexpected
Windup.

RUNNER WITH A
REMARKABLE RECORD
Thomas Carr of Springfield Was in Ser
vice So Years - In Civil War
When Years Old

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. .
Springfield 5 veteran drummer, Thomas
Carr, who is also one of the youngest
veterans of the Civil war, has resigned
from the Second regiment after 50
years consecutive service with the
colors. He received his honorable dis
charge from Washington the other day,
and although he is not showing it to
any one, he says cit is a good one. "
This can well be believed, for it is
probable that his record exceeds that
of any man in the country. He enlisted
as a drummer at the age of nine years
of age, in the fall of 1861, and went
all through the campaigns of the army
of the Potomac.
Coming home at the close of the war,
he enrolled in the Fenian expedition to
capture Canada, for although he was
still mere hoy he was a seasoned sol
der. This attempt, however, only end
ed in his being captured by the British
regulars and sent home. He then en-
listed in the Holyoke militia company
which was under the command of En-
bury p. Clark. now major-general, re.
tired. When this company was taker
into the newly organized ID Massachu
setts infantry in 1868, Tom went along
as drummer in the I'd regiment band.

HUDSON S LATEST TRIUMPH.
Super-Six Establishes Record for Round
Trip Across Continent.

The Hudson Super-Six did a wonder
full thing when it ran from San Fran
cisco to New York in ) days, hours, 81
minutes. But it was a more marvellous
accomplishment when that car turned
round and went back across the con
tinent and completed the round trip in
10 days, u hours and minutes.
Up to last August the best one-way
time for any automobile was DAVIS and
hours, made by the Cadillac "s''.
But the same Hudson Super-Six has
now made the round trip in just two
days longer time than was required for
the oneway trip in the best record up
to August. The Hudson on its return
trip beat every previous transcontinen-
tai record except its own. It had a
fair chance to do that up to the last
leg of the trip. On the going trip the
distance from San Francisco to Elko,
Nevada, was made in 20 II hours On
account of rains in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains, 80 hours We're required on
the return trip to negotiate the dis
tance The car was l IL hours ahead
of its schedule when it reached Elko.
But as it took Is hours longer to finish
in making those same 600 miles in the
going trip, it was unable to break its
own record. Still it arrived back in
San Francisco in 81 minutes less time
than any other car that ever made the
| transcontinental run.
! One does not have to be the Coolest
inhabitant'' to recall the year when
a fast railroad train trying for mail
contract took six days to cross the con
tinent. Anything less than six days in
a journey by rail from coast to coast
was worth mention in the news col
umns. But a few years ago it was
worth first page announcement when
an automobile touring party was able
to report, no matter in how many days,
that it made the full distance unaided.
| The transcontinental run of the Hud-
son Super-Six marks new milestone
i'm civilizations progress. The run from
San Francisco to New York and return
is a marvellous record. No automobile
ever before attempted the round trip
against time. The Hudson Super-Six
set out to establish a record for endur-
lance. Every test it has entered it has

won. 1t was not that records were
desired to show speed, but that proof
was sought indicating that the Super
Six, by reason of its exclusively con
trolled and patented motor, so reduced
vibration that new standard of motor
endurance has been established by it.
Speed proves endurance to q motor Just
as it shows the endurance of a man.
Continuous fast running produces the
same fatigue to machinery as it does
to man. So by tests on the speedway,
when the SuperSix was driven 1919
miles in a hours-52 per cent further
than any other travelling machine ever
went in that time-it was possible to
crowd punishment into that short time
exceeding anything like years of service
would impose upon a ear.

MASS. NOTES.
Best Fruit in New England.

James A. Horton of School street
had over 90 plates Of fruit at the fair,
including apples, pears, peaches, plums
and grapes, all of which were raised in
his home garden. In all the classes he
took premiums. His display covered the
whole of one side and one end of the
large table and was called the best ex-
hibit in New England The officials
Of the Eastern States Exposition,
Springfield, Oct. II to p, have asked
Mr. Horton 70 show his frmt there, sa--
ing it was the best they have ever seen.
Although Mr.. Horton has but n few
trees, he has several kinds grated on
each tree so that he has a large variety,
and by close attention to details he
raises very superior quality. 1t is said
that Greenfield soil is the best in New
England for grape culture.-Greenfeld

Sheep Business Looks Bright.

Farm and Fireside, the national farm
paper, says:
"There has been no time within the
last twenty-five years when the sheep
business has been in such good condi-
ton as the present, and the prospects
for the future look bright The east
ern farmer, as rule, keeps his sheep
in more or less careless way. 1t is
profitable in spite of his carelessness.
There was time when sheep were kept
primarily for wool, but now, because of
the increase in the consumption of
mutton and the prices realized, the
mutton consideration stands first.
81 find that sheep properly handled
are the best paying animals on my
farm, considering the initial invest
ment and equipment. /"
