Appointed Postmaster.

Eugene B. Williams last Satur-
day morning received notice of his
appointment to the position of post
master at the Hurley office to fill
the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton Of Mrs. NJ Sullivan. Mr..
Williams took up his duties Tues
day morning.
The Hurley postmaster receives
a salary of $4,000 year and IS
allowed three clerks. When The
new administration takes office at
Washington it is probable that an
appointment for a term OF years
will be made for the Hurley office.
Mr.. Williams appointment at this
time, we understand, coming from
the postal department and being
simply as acting postmaster for the
time being
Mr.. Williams mas served as city
clerk since the city was iucorporat-
ed He is a capable young man

WOULD ADD PART OF THIRD
WARD TO FOURTH WARD
Ordinance to Make Change Adopted al
Tuesdays Council Meeting. John
EmunsOn Appointed Clerk.

Proceedings to detach a part of
the Third ward and attach it to the
Fourth ward were started at the
regular monthly meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening when Or
dinance No. rs was introduced and
adopted. The ordinance becomes
effective after it has been published
four successive weeks and again
passed by the council.
1t has long been contended that
the Fourth ward was too small and
the Third ward too large, hence
the action to change the ward boun-
Diary lines. That part of the Third
ward which it is desired to attach
to the Fourth ward is described as
that part of the third ward as now
constituted, described and enclosed
by line starting at a point on the
southern boundary OF said third
ward, intersected by Sixth avenue
south. and running thence north
in the center of said Sixth avenue
to the center of Division street,
thence west in the center of said
Division street 10 the center of Ten
tn avenue. thence south in the cen
ter of Tenth avenue to the boun-
Diary line between the Third and
Fourth wards, thence east on said
boundary line to the place of start
ing.
John A. Emunson was appointed
city clerk to succeed Eugene B.
Williams. who has acted as clerk
since the city was incorporated and
who resigned to accept the post
mastership. There were four APP
plicants for the position, the others
being NJ. ]. Connors, John Aspin
wall and John Lucia.
There was some discussion of con-
templated street Improvements the
coming year, although nothing def
mite developed, the matter as to
the cost of the improvements still
being in the hands of the board of
public works. A report from the
public works to the effect that it
would cost in the neighhorhood of
S475 to install lights in the alleys
in the business section of the city,
matter which came up at a pre-
vious meeting, caused the council
to decide that it would not be adj
visable to carry out the work at
this time.
Four applications to conduct soft
drink parlors in the city were acted
upon favorably and licenses grant
ed to the following. Ben Simonsou,
B. Mrdjenovich, G. Del Boni and
Frank Mahosky.
County Judge P. H. Aspinwall
applied for the appointment OF jus
tice of the peace, his application be
ing referred to the city attorney.
There was no justice of the peace
elected at the last city election.

that she was unable to rescue the
older child, who persisted in the
flames. The mother was severity
burned about the face and hands
as a result of her heroic efforts.
The house being located on the
outskirts of the city the fire depart
ment experienced difficulty in gett-
ing streams of water on to the build
ing and before this had been ac-
complished the building was quit
ed, although after the hremen got
into action the fire was soon ex
tinguished and the frame of the
building was saved. Two families
occupied the dwelling, owned by
Anton Galeotti, who resides next
door and at whose place the
families took refuge after the fire.
The household goods of the two
families were entirely destroyed.
Insurance to the amount of $1,000
was carried on the building.

PRESS COMMENT
Making the Punishment Fit the
Crime

Sentencing Of the second of the
trio of rum-running bandits, appre-
hended in northeastern Vermont
recently, to a term in the house of
correction at Windsor on breach
of the peace charge COMFORTS more
nearly with the gravity of the off
ense which they committed than
did a fine. as was imposed in the
case of the driver of the travel
carrying automobile. Men who
travel through the state terroriz-
ing the inha bltants BY displaying
revolvers in threatening manner
deserve the stiffest penalty which
the law can give. The fact that
Vermont lies in the direct course
between the rum-serving section OF
Canada and the southern part of
New England does not mean that
we are to be forced TO stand the
lawlessness Of those who try to
bring liquor into United States
territory. A few cases Of imposing
of sharp penalties will have a ten

When Thanksgiving
Was a Great Event

And now we come to the great
festival of the wear, which was 4
real New England Thanksgiving
dinner, as my grandmother inter-
pretcd and celebrated it, with Il
never varying menu of pie and
more pie. Chicken-pie and mince-
pie and pumpkin-pie, with a few
deviations such as vegetables and
picked peaches and cheese and
nuts and coffee The chicken-pie
was a creation of the day before,
ready for the brick oven, which
was blazing with dry wood in the
early morning, and kept burning
until the absorbed and imprisoned
heat was sufficient for the crucial
effort. Then the Goals and ashes
were raked off and the big pie, in
an unusal nilk-pan, reserved from
year to year for that service, was
placed in the mouth of the oven
and showed back with the broad
oven shovel to the centre of the
brick floor, and the sheet-iron door
was closed. The last affectionate
touch of NV grandmother, before
the pie disappeared in the oven,
was to make a number of incisions
