ATTRACTIVE WINDOW DISPLAY.
L. H. Barber Enters Edison Week Con-
test for Prizes.

l.. II. Barber has entered the Edison
Week contest for the most attractive
and original window display. Prizes
aggregating $500 are to be given
away by the Edison company at the
close of the contest. The window, which
was designed and carried out by Scott
l.. Barber, is one of the most attrac-
tive shown here ana has attracted
much attention and favorable com
ment. A striking border is to be seen
around the glass of the window, which
was first sketched afterwards painted
in various colors, representing the Dia-
mond Disc. The background in the Win
dow is a very large Diamond Disc, in
black. Directly in front is large sill
YER gray diamond-shaped frame, in
side of which is one of the new Edi
son instruments of the official labora-
tory model. Standing beside it is large
wax figure in a beautiful evening gown,
playing the violin, apparently demon
strating the indistinguishable music of
the violin and Edison instrument At
night the window is brightly lighted
with numerous electric lights, directly
in front being several revolving lights
of red, blue and yellow, which cast a
beautiful color.

don Shumway and Albert Hadley
Shumway.
Mrs. Hadley talks very interestingly
of changes that have occurred in Brat
tleboro in years past. When she was
younger the Prospect Hill section was
q virgin forest and the business Sec
ton consisted Of only a few buildings.
On the site of the present American
building stood the old hotel, the Ameri-
can house. Chase's stage house, con-
Quoted by Paul Chase, stood where
Crosby block now stands. 1t was the
most prominent hotel in town and the
stages from north, east, south and west
put up there. The Centre Congrega-
tional church stood on what is now the
village common.
When Mrs. Hadley was young her
father died and an uncle in Lynn,
Mass, was appointed her guardian. He
owned a hotel there and once or twice
year would make the journey to Brat
tleboro to visit Mrs. Field and her
daughter, always bringing with him a
present for the girl. In the fall that
Mrs. Hadley was 10 years old he wrote
her mother to let the child make the
trip. to Boston and said he would meet
her there and take her to Lynn for a
visit. The girl, in the care of local
merchant who was making his annual
trip to Boston, left on fourhorse
stage at 3 clock in the morning and
arrived in Templeton, Mass, at break
fast time. She does not recall where
dinner was eaten, but she arrived in
Boston between and 10 clock that
night. The journey in those days took
from II to 20 hours. Her uncle met
her in Boston, and next morning they
went to Lynn, where she made q long
visit. She journeyed again to Lynn
when she was II years old

HAVOC WITH WIRES.
Telephones and Lighting Circuits Put
Out of Commission by High Wind
Wednesday.

Although there were no accidents
from the high wind of Tuesday that
resulted in injury to individuals, prop
erty damage and inconvenience from
brokendown electric light and power
wires and telephone wires, especially
to the north, was considerable. Linemen
worked all Tuesday afternoon and in
some instances all that night and the
telephone men had all the damage to
their lines repaired by Wednesday
night
In almost every instance the trouble
was due to trees blown across the
wires. Late Tuesday afternoon a big
locust tree in the rear of the Centre
Congregational church blew over, TAX
ing telephone trunk lines, electric
light and power wires and falling
across the railroad tracks. Just as the
telephone repair men reached the scene
a freight train came along and the
freight crew aided the repair men in
clearing the tree from the tracks.
Another tree near the three bridges
on the Putney road added to the dam
age done to trunk lines to the north
and two trees in the village of New
fame put telephone lines in that town
completely out of business, carrying all
of them down.
AT noon Wednesday telephone lines in
Guilford were still out of commission
because of the trouble caused by fall
ing trees and the same was true in
North Hinslale. Manager r. j. Eldridge
| said Wednesday morning there were
from 100 to 40 subscribers who had
no use Of their telephones, but by
| night he hoped to have all of the wires
in condition again.
Supt. Leon c. White of the electric
department of the Twin State Gas &
Electric Co., put in a busy time with
his men Tuesday afternoon and until
| 10 o CLOCK that night at which time they
had repaired, at least temporarily, the
| storm damage to their wires. Eight
| limbs across the wires on the Hins-
| dale road required some time to re-
move. Three poles on the main road to
| Hinsdale and one in Hinsdale had gone
down with the weight of trees and
| limbs.
| There was trouble on Frost street
where big tree had fallen upon the
house of Charles Puiier, carrying cleo
tric wires with it. In West Brattleboro
near the homo of +. H. Davenport a
tree had taken down both electric
light and telephone wires. Another
pole was down by the home of II. l..
Emerson on Putney road and another
on the Bradley meadows. An apple
tree near Samuel Clark s quarry in
Dummerston had taken down the power
wires there and the Newfane wires
were carried down by the two trees
that had taken down the telephone
wires. An electric light fixture on Birge
street had been smashed by falling
limb and a tree on Chestnut Hill had
fallen partly across the wires without
breaking them.
The toboggan chute at the Country
club which has withstood gales and
the elements generally for three years,
was blown fiat
