PETROGRAD, March 16.-Disorder
and bloodshed. which have envelopsd
Petrograd for the last week is grad
ually giving place to a semblance OF
peace and law and order. There is
comparative quiet where only few
days ago there were hotsile armed
forces engaged in battle.
There is only occasional and desul-
tory rife fire cracking at isolated per-
sons from the house tops to remind
the people of the stirring and revolu-
tionary scenes Of the past week in
which the people successfully revolt
ed against the government and the
dynasty and with the aid of the army
have for the first time established a
form OF popular government in the
nature.
Shops have again opened and busi-
ness Is being rapidly resumed. The
news Of the abdication Of the car
and the sudden fight Of the old hated
Bureaucratic heads and the eleva-
ton Of the grand duke Alexandrovitch
to the regency and the formation OF
q new and democratic cabinet head by
Prince Lvoff are developments greet
ed with the great enthusiasm. There
are everywhere indications that the
government viii soon be going on in
an orderly fashion. The confidence
of the masses In the ability of the new
government Is unlimited.
Russia Is today riding the tide OF
world democracy. The shackles that
have long bound her millions have
been broken and broken almost in the
twinkling OF an eye. Every dispatch

THE NEW CATHOLIC SCHOOL
Exterior Carvings Give Evidence OF q
Handsome Building.

Ass..~"C---~
The ornamentation on the exterior Of
the new Catholic high school building is
rapidly taking on a finished appearance.
The carvings, consisting of spires. floral
designs, figures. seals and letters. add
much to the beauty of the structure BY
curious coincidence the work on the
school is being done by the very man who
carved the beautifully-wrought capitals
and mouldings on the Billings library,
which was completed Just 80 years ago,
last month. He is Alexander Min. of the
firm of Min & Min of Newton, Mass, a
man of " years experience in carving
and modelling. Over thirty years ago, the
II. H. Richardson company, who were
the architects of the Billings library. en-
ployed him for the work on the north
western part of that structure. which was
completed, as far as 1t is complete, by
Mr.. Min alone. The fact is. the capitals on
the southern front of the library are still
in their rough state, as circumstances
compelled that part of the work to be
indefinitely postponed. when the rest was
finished at commencement week Of 1885.
Since that time Mr.. Min has done the
carving on some Of the finest buildings in
the vicinity Of Boston, including that on
the Copley-Plaza Hotel and the Columbian
Franklin street. Early this spring. the
architect of the Catholic school building
sent for Mr.. Min and his men. who. for
the past two months. have been busy
with the work that is now being revealed.

! to the school was cleared away yesterday

Of the Pope and bishop are already ex.
posed to view. The corners are surmount.
ed by twelve carved gothic pinnacles. The

Without going into detail he pointed out
that these preparations included minutes

and even disposal of the vessels gar

A big contributing factor in the cross

Of the service. was the hearty co-opera-
ton between the army and navy. From
the time of the departure until the pres

BRADSTREETS VERMONT
WEEKLY TRADE REPORT.

Bradsteet's Burlington office reports In
summarizing trade conditions for the first
half of the present year. that manufac-
| turers. save In one or two instances, are
fully as we'll supplied with business as
they were year ago this time.
Building work for quarter is below that
of any corresponding quarter since 1918
but the half year. owing to volume done
the first three months. was the largest
since records were first kept in 1912. 1t
is anticipated that. owing to cost of ma
terial. the amount of new work construct
ed the present YER will not increase.
| Failures have increased in number but
the amount of money involved was con.
siderably below that for same period in
1916
| With the crops. all are late except grass
which is highly developed and ready to
cut. In some sections this is badly lodged.
| The outlook is for one of the largest hay
crops the State has producted. Corn has
developed fairly well but needs sunshine;
| beans are growing better than was eX-
2ected.
Four government contracts in as many
different lines are being handled by State
manufacturers. The paper box business
| is reported a little light.
Tanneries complain that the falling Oft
| in demand has affected amount Of bush
ness received. In the machine line pland
are operating to capacity but notice thS
amount of business from foreign counk
| tries is not as large as earlier in the year,
With the paper manufactures the amount
| of business on hand compares we'll with
1914 and 1915 but below that of year ago
Now orders are coming in slowly but in.
quiries are more numerous and the out.
look is for a larger fall trade
With the State automobile dealers ex.
traordinary effects have been made t.
push business and it is believed the vol.
ume is about up to period of a year ago,
| although there has been an accumulation
In large volume of notes and accounts re-
ceivable. More used cars are said to have
been received in exchange but these have
in turn been placed to advantage
Burlington reports total building work
permitted for the half year amounted to
$26o. $50 as compared to slS6. 400 for a like
period in 1916. There were 81 mercantile
failures for the first half of present year
involving total assets of sS9, 33S and aggre-
gate liabilities of s30l9SS. The second
quarter gave fourteen failures with assets
OF $lO,937 and liabilities of $S.370. II will
be noted from this that the greater
amount of money and the larger number
was represented in the first quarter. The
first half year of 1916 recorded SO failures
with assets of $2ll.650 and liabilities OF
$593. SSl. The first half of 1915 gave 20
failures and the same period in 1914 re-
corded only H. The amount of money in
volved In the last two named years was
not as large as for half year just closed
