THK ST. I.ClI'IS EXPOSITION- STILL HOLDING INTEREST.

November,—a Delipblful Month in *be City.

About one month remains for the continuance of the great Exposition at St. Louis. This most marvelous of expositions has far exceeded in grandeur and magnitude the brightest hopes of its projectors: and the exhibits have been described by visitors as the mon magnificent and varied ever presented. The "Pike.'- with Its thousand and one different amusement features, is reported as being a "Worlds Fair." In Itself, while the view of the vast buildings, with their various phases of do- le stic and foreign architecture. Is alone sufficient to satisfy the traveler whose taste for the artistic carries him hither.

Each state with Its building houslnc Its own displays and the Interesting products of foreign countries are both entertaining and instructive. It has been the Idea of the management .1 present everything In the line of re- productions with as much faith and a? close to the original—even to the native surroundings, manners and scen- ery—as possible, and how well they have succeeded may be judged from the Oriental exhibits on the "Pike." and the wonderful Filipino exhibit.

The hotel rates at St. Louis are verv reasonable. The courts and the city g 'vernment have carefully protected the visitors against exorbitant rates in cab service, etc.. so that a violation is seldom heard of. and once reported wlll.be summarily dealt with. The weather conditions during this season of the year at St. Louis are perfect; the beautiful Indian summer usually lasts throughout the entire month of No- vember.

Everything points to a large attendance at this last and greatest of all expositions during the remaining month, and prospective visitors from Toaton and New England are respect- fully referred to trh? General Passen- ger Department of the Boston and Maine railroad. Boston, for Informa- tion concerning the Exposition. This road publishes a beautiful illustrated ' cklet describing the Exposition. This book will be mailed upon receipt of address.

Don't forget the old man with the fish on his back.

For nearly thirty years he has been traveling around the world, and is still traveling, bringing health and comfort wherever he goes.

To all weak and sickly children he gives rich and strengthening food.

CANINE TERROR RAIDS HEN- NERIES.

What the dog's name IB has not been revealed at police headquai ters. He Is, however, a dog with a bad name.

He combines the blood of the mastiff and St. Bernard. He possesses the courage and tenacity of both, but his mixed breeding seems to have created within him a tendency to homicide. He Is a dog murderer. The thirst .if blood Is upon him. He Is an outlaw—an Ishmealite of the canine tribe against whom the hand of everybody Is raised.

In appearance he is smooth and silky. His satin coat comes from his mastiff ancestors. His St. Bernard progenitors have/ givtft him his handsome tawny color. His well shaiied head and fine black muzzle show the admixture of the blood. Within the. head lies the trouble.

Instinct or reason—this dog 1% a star. He shows ability beyond ordinary human effort. He Is untiring In his murderous work. His field of operation covers a large extent of territory. He is a leader among dogs, having associated with himself another animal described as a tramp cog. and together they are now terrorizing portions of South Broadway and West Ando- ver.

The big dog weighs between 125 and 150 pounds—almost powerful enough to

I 11 down an ox. Up to within a month or so ago. he was a respect- able member of the canine family; at least there is no record of evil work or influence. Late in September it appears "The Call of the Wii.1." came to him. At that time he suddenly and without apparent reason began his career of blood, rrom that time to the present he has been guilty of crimes Innumerable, and the county of Essex will "je required to pay heavy damages as the. result of his depredations.

Hens are his victims. All are fowl that come within the snap of his powerful jaws. He makes no distinction In his 1 llling. Plymouth Rock, Wyan- dotte, Leghorn, Rhode Island Red or barnyard product—they are all the same to htm. His trail of blood extends from Newton and Emmett streets, in "the patch." to Andoyer and Beacon streets, into Andover and West An- dover.

Ordinary hen yard wire is no bar to his progress. 'He'.rushes through and tears down. Neither'glass nor sash can keep him out ^Qf. A hen* coop. He possesses the peculiar -at«-|ck known only to himself of smasbinit^the. glass without Injury to his beautiful coat or to his handsome person!} He appears to be a corrtbluat|on of^tlve canine hero

of Jack LinccJVs wterd story and of the ferocious dbg- who a, few years agu in Chicago organized a* gang of outlaws like hlmsel*i brought terror and devastation to the , section known, as South Chicago, defied thevpollce and alUauthority for a' long period, of time. '.'■ '" ' * .„

Tbp dog was owned by a -man named Donahue on Emmett street. He" began his depredations late In September,

when he killed 35 hens on Emmett street. A few days later, 1§ hens1 De- longing to a woman on Newton street .fell victims to his ruthless jaws. The owners of these *birds have not com- platned to. the^poll.ce. .. '.','

Oh Sept. 26,rthls capme blood hunter visited the prerrirses of J. H.. Knowles,

^he. spring water man on Andover street, and killed 10 -hens. On Oct. 6th he killed nine, OcJ| 7th, one, Oct. 9th, nine, and a few Jfeys ago, three, all belonging to Mr. Knowles. On Oct. 26 he visited the coop of Michael Neylon on Emmett street, kill* 12 hens and maimed three, Oct. 23 .he went to Charles Gallencia's place at 10 Bea-

con street and killed eight hens. Many acts of depredation committed-

by him have not been reported at po- llce^retlritiuarters. Marshal O'Sulllvan has issued orders to kill the canine Send on sight. Any police officer who falls to carry out these Instructions will he brought up on charge'.

The dog does not eat the hens he kills. He rends and tears their throats until the blood runs. He carries them to a field hear Knowles', or to any convenient spot near'where he Is nv. •- auderlng. and lays thern out neatl> Hnd carefully In a low. Some are buried and he watches the spot with jealous eye.

About two weeks ago, Mr. Donahue took the animal to a stable near at hand to await the arrival of a police- man, who should kill the dog. While waiting. John White , a farmer living In West Andover, chanced along, and bought the dog for two dollars. Mr White kept the animal a week when the latter slipped his collar and returned to Emmett street. He'has resumed his depredations, having associated with himself a tramp dog who apparently possesses a Micawoerlsn spirit for he was waiting for any ad- venture that might turn up. Together these canine outlaws are roaming about arid leaving a trail of dead hens and damaged henyards In their wake. Far- mer White called at the police station yesterday afternoon. He doesn't want the dog or the two dollars he paid for him. He wants the animal killed.

"See that there are no children aiound. and then blaze away at him '• advised Marshal O'Sulllvan

The dog Is licensed, but the person who kills him will not suffer any pen-

alty for doing so.

NOTICE TO VOTERS.

This year for the first time, a change Is to be made In the time and place of voting and all voters should be aware of the fact. The polls will be open at 6 a. m. Instead of 6.30 as In previous years and the voting will take place in the lower town hall. It has not been deemed necessary to use the large hall for the national election as at no time during the d-y Is the crowd large enough to warrant Its use.

The booths will be placed on the south side of the room against the wall and the door v hlch opens Into the main passage and this will make ,t necessary for the voters to use the Park street entrance.

COMMERCE as? INDUSTRY Commercial.

Standard Oil Stirred Up. The Standard Oil company gave to

the papers, Oct. 2t>, authority to deny the charges made in various publications and by political speakers that It or Its president, John D. Rockefeller, had in any way sought to Influ- _ ence the presl- "■ dentlal nomlpa- tions of either party; also to deny that the company or Its constituents had engaged in any business, such as copper, steel, John D- Rockefeller, railroads, gas, etc., other than the pe- troleum trade. It is also denied that there is any "Standard Oil party" band- ed together for stock speculation, although admitting that Individual members of the company are interested In various enterprises.

The statement is supposed to be particularly directed against the charges made by Thomas W. Lawsbn In his articles for Everybody's. In the current Issue Mr. Lawson tells how he came to the aid of the Westlnghouse companies when they were at,the mer- cy of the Standard Oil system of high finance and of his subsequent alliance with J. Edward Addlcks in his war agajnst Standard Oil for control of Bos- ton gas. Lawson describes how in the course of this fight he met Rogers and rejected, an -offer to sell Addlcks out. In answering correspondents Lawson Insists that all the power of the Stand- ard Oil has been expended, first, In trying to defeat Roosevelt for the Repub- lican nomination, and, second, In secur- ing . the nomination of Parker by the Democrats. In a newspaper interview Mr. Lawson replies to the Standard Oil denial by saying that it Is merely technical and that Parker's nomination was procured through the agency of Patrick H. McCarren, acting for Rog- ers.

Steel Trust's Nat Earning*. The regular quarterly dividend of 1%

per cent on preferred stock was announced by the United States Steel corporation, Oct. 25, and the statement for the September quarter showed net earnings of $18,773,032 and unfilled orders for over 3,027,436 tons. This was a poorer showing than expected, and stocks declined. The falling off is due In part to th* cut In the price of steel products.

Window Glass Mart Combine. A joint meeting of manufacturers

and jobbers In window glass held at Plttsburg Oct. 25 resulted In an agreement to prevent the manufacturer from selling direct to the consumer and binds the Jobber to buy only from manufacturers who thus protect the trade. The association embracejjfall independent manufacturers not affili- ated with the American Window Glass company and the Plttsburg Plate GIBBS

company.

A fund of 9250,000 will be raised to resist boycotts.

Carnegie Strikers Killed. Bitter feeling between the Btrlkers

of the Carnegie 8teel works at Youngs- town, O., and the men employed in their places resulted in the shooting of two Btrlkers on the street by two of the nonunion men. The latter said they had been attacked by the strikers.

Suffering at Fall River. The fourteenth week of the great

textile strike at Fall River passed without a break on either side. The destitution and suffering of the families of the Idle workers has passed beyond the resources of the local charity organization. The Salvation Army Is feeding 1,500 a day and finds many children in need of clothing. The local church workers have called for outside aid.

Industrial.

Labor.

Employers Resitting Boycott. Boston papers tell of the formation

of the employers' association of that city, including about 500 wholesale and retail merchants, manufacturers and others. Its purpose Is, to prevent inter- ference with business by labor contro- versies and to guard against oppress- ive discriminations. It declares for the open shop and unlimited apprentices

Central's Electric Locomotives. The first of the forty electric locomo-

tives ordered by the New York Central railroad for .its third rail system was delivered Oct. 25 by the Scheuectady plant of-, the American Locomotive company. This locomotive is for ex perimehtal purposes.

Lackawanna to Tunnel Hudson. Wltha capital of $300,000 the Lacka

wanna Tunnel Railroad company has been incorporated at Albany on behalf of the Delaware,- Lackawanna and Western interests for the purpose of constructing and operating a tunnel railroad under the Hudson river between New York and New Jersey. The new tunnel Is to be five miles long and is to provide an outlet for the Lacka wanna's traffic on Manhattan Island. The terminal Is expected to be some- where near and south of West Twenty- third street.

Beesemer Medal to Carnegie. The Iron and Steel institute, which

began Its annual meeting at New York last week, presented to Andrew Carne- gie the Bessemer medal, which is thought to be the highest honor that can be paid for industrial achievement. The presentation was by Sir James Kitson,

V>n6 of the British members present. In accepting the medal Mr. Carnegie class- ed himself among those who get. credit for about ten times more than they ever did. This medal was established by Sir Henry Bessemer in 1873. The visiting members of the Institute Inspected the Brooklyn navy yard, the New York subway and the Military academy at West Point.

'hurch the principle of freedom whereby the liberty of individual bishops to provide forms of worship other than those offered by the book of common prayer Is assured. Special forms of prayer will at once be available for certain Swedish congregations of the northwest and others who desire to unite with that church. A resolution was also adopted seeking co-operation with other Christian bodies for Sunday observance, religious education and the sanctity of marriage.

The Congregational Council. Several important steps were taken

by the national council of Congrega- tional churches In Its triennial meeting at Des Molnes, la., Oct. 20. First the council approved by a large majority the Innovation made by the retiring moderator, the Rev. A. H. Bradford of Moutclair, N. J., In devoting a large part of his time to visiting the various churches as a sort of minister at large. It has voted to move at once toward union with the United Brethren and the Methodist Protestants, to begin conference to the same end with the Free Baptists and to consider the feasibility of unifying all the Congre- gational benevolent societies.

Free Church Millions Pass. The court of sessions at Bdinourgn,

Scotland, has affirmed the judgment of the house of lords on Aug. 1 placing in the hands of the twenty-four Free church ministers who opposed the union of the Free Church of Scotland wtth the United Presbyterian church the whole of the Free church property, valued at $55,000,000. The United Free churchers had intended applying to parliament for relief. What the twenty-four "Wee Frees" will do with so much church, school and mission property remains to be seen.

Church Fairs Irreligious. The Rev. Wllmer E. Coffnian of the

Dorranceton,(Pa.) Methodist Episcopal church has been removed by the presiding elder for opposition to fairs and other entertainments conducted by his congregation to pay off the church debt. Mr. Ccffman boldly asserted that- all such entertainments belonged to the services of Mammon, teach extravagance, rob the community and result in spiritual poverty.

Divorce Agreement at Last. Both houses of the Episcopal general

convention at Boston were brought Into agreement on a new divorce law last week. As amended tbls canon provides for the remarriage of the Innocent party in a divorce case, but not until' one year at least after the granting of the decree and after the proper ecclesiastical authority has given consent. Any minister may refuse to remarry a person divorced for the cause of infidelity while his or her former partner Is living, even after the bishop has decided that he or she was the Innocent party In such divorce, without subjecting him self to any censure or discipline. It prohibits the administration of the sacraments of baptism, confirmation or holy communion to any divorced person unless be or she Is In Imminent danger of death.

New York's Rapid Transit Subway Opened An airship line is all that the people of the Greater New York now

lack to complete their facilities for hustling and bustling up and down their elongated island. They had gridironed their street surfaces and builded their elevated railroads, had bridged the East river and ferried all the waters. It remained for them to burrow through their rock ribbed foundations and there devise a new system of transit.

This great industrial and engineering feat became an accomplished fact when, at 2:35 p. m., Oct. 27, with Mayor McClellan acting as motorman and using a silver controller bar, the first electric train In the great subway started from the City Hall station. This was Immediately after the formal ceremony In the city hall declaring the system ready for operation. T'ntil 7 p. tn. trains carried several thousand invited guests, and from that time on the general public was admitted at the customary nickel rate. Thousands of people flocked into the big tunnel for the novelty of a first ride and thus gave the management a severe test at the outset, but everything went off smoothly and trains were running on schedule time, which places the inhabitants of Harlem within fifteen or twenty minutes of the city hall. The important figures In the opening ceremonies were John B. McDonald, who executed the contract for the great work; August Belmont, who

financed It; W. B. Parsons, the engineer, and the members of the rapid transit commission.

During the first regular day's traffic 350,000 passengers were carried by the subway, which has not yet its full car equipment. The lessening of travel on the elevated lines was scarcely perceptible, but was-notable on the surface lines. This great underground system, which gives New York the best transit In the world, has been constructed in four years at a cost of $40,000,000. It is only one of many subways now projected.

Dan- Patch to the Front. The champion "pacer Dan Patch,

driven by his new trainer, H. C. Her- sey, behind a wind Shield attached to the sulky of a running horse traveled a mile in 1:50 at Memphis, Oct 26, thus making a'new world's record. Jt was-the fastest mile ever made by a horse In harness, being a quarter of a second lower than Dan Patch's record of last year. The wind shield was the same used when I.on Dillon trotted a mile In l:5&Vj, being a strip Of canvas about four feet square attached to the runner's sulky.

Maud 3. Record Lowered. Another notable feature of the grand

circuit meeting at Memphis was the performance of Major Delmar In going a mile in 2:07 hitched to an old fashioned high wheel sulky, thus reducing by 2% seconds the mark made by Maud S. In 1885 at Cleveland before the advent of pneumatic and ball bearing sulkies. Lou Dillon's trot against the Maud S. record last year in 2:05 was not allowed by the trotting association because the conditions were not similar to those under which Maud S. trotted.

Major Delmar also lowered the world's record for a mile by trotting In 2:10% without a pacemaker In front.

Marshall Takes Chess Prize. The first prize of $500 and a gold

medal as tournament champion of America In the seventh American chess congress at St. Louis, Oct. 25, was awarded to Frank J. Marshall of Brooklyn with a score of eight wins, no losses. Max Judd of St. Louis took second prize of $300.

ICE CART SMASHED.

An accident that came very nearly resulting- seriously occurred Tuesday afternoon near the John Q. Hill tee houses when a cart of the Lawrence ice company was struck by a car on the Southern N. H. electric line, the driver thrown out. over the horse's head and badly shaken up. The accident occurred about 3 o'clock. Joseph Walsh, the driver, had been In the yard, loading up his cart with ice. The cart was one of the largest belonging to the Lawrence Ice Co. Having loaded it he drove out and was crossing the track before he noticed the approaching car. He endeavored to get across, but before he could fully accomplish this, the car was upon him. and struck. the rear end of the ice cart with much force smashing the spring and wheel, and doing considerable other damage. Mr. Walsh, who was on the seat was thrown completely over the horse's head and landed upon his own head and shoulders in the street. Fortunate- ly he avoided being trampled upon by the horses, and escaped with no bones broken, but he was badly shaken up

and complained of Injuries to his side and head. The horses were not injured as they were not In a position to be struck by the car. The cart was put out of service however, and the Ice had to be loaded upon another team to be removed.

, GADl'OL.

The United suites dispensatory thinks it probable that the real virtues of cod- liver oil reside'iu an active principle or principles. Gaduol is the alcoholic ex- tract of the active principles of cod-liver oil. It produces a stimulant and alterative effect on the processes of nutrition and absorption, it does not disturb the appetite or affect the stomach. A wine of cod-livef oil prepared from Gaduol is a favorite tonic and has a large sale wherever introduced.

The Cod Wine advertised In another column meets the above requirements. It is for sale by Albert W. Lowe, druggist.

Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal, South Africa, says: "As a proof that Chamberlain's Cough Rem- edy is a cure suitable for old and young, I pen you the following: A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not Know what to give It.

However a man may vote, let him vote ! Bishop Potter recently said that a man who is qualified to \ote and fails to do so is a coward. We are inclined to consider this pretty strong language, but there is much truth back of the sentiment. Certainly such a man shirks his full responsibility in a nation where he is a part of the government as he is in the United States.

The local situation is like that exist- ing everywhere else. Not over eighty per cent, of the voters ever come to the polls, and frequently tins proportion is very materially lowered. How is it to DO this year ? There is either a supreme satisfaction or a supreme indifference controlling, things'political hereabouts. The oldest campaigners can recall no time when so little interest was evinced on all sides, and it is hard to- see what it portends for election day. If it shall result in a light vote, an ignoring of the suffrage privilege, it will be a serious misfortune, f°r •*• 's always that when a light vote controls an important election. Andover should do her part by,casting at least twelve hundred votes next Tuesday, and the result may then be trusted to take care of itself.

Tile two principal contests from a local standpoint are the congressional and senatorial. The general opinion seems to be that both will be close. In the congressional contest both Mr. Ames and Mr. Bruce are very active. The district is normally republican by about two thousand, and, notwithstanding Mr. Brace's personal popularity, Mr. Ames should be re-elected.

The senatorial district is very close. It is a long time since such an aggressive fight has been seen as that now going on between Mr. Castle and Mr. Flynn. The towns are strongly republican'; I AW re nee is just as strongly democratic Mr Castle is a man of high character and has gone through many public honors in Methuen. He is a (it candidate for his full party support Mr. Flynn is a great vote getter. lie has a good reputation, and is widely known as a impular man. There will be very few votes between these two gentlemen on election night, from present indications.

We cannot refrain from breaking over our desire to keep partizanship out of this column in commenting upon another office to be filled, that of county commissioner.

And it is an intense partisanship for a rebuke to the arrogant, impudent, anij, incompetent actions of Commis- sioner Bates that leads us to hope for a vote for his opponent that will show for all time that a party label in Essex County does not always cover everything. Mr. Kamsdell, of Lynn, should be elected as county commissioner, not only for his own sake but for the sake of the rebuke it, would administer.

Once in a while, and in fact not in- frequently, we hear the comment that "the Andover Club is no good to the town." Now, perhaps, this is so, but we cannot refrain from a little comment along the opposite line in connection with the club's announcement that it will keep open house for election returns next Tuesday night. Here is an illustration of one of the very best uses and most important functions of such an organization as the Andover Club.' It forms a central rallying place, and a central rallying body to*get men together on semi public occasions of all kinds. It may go on for months and provide only the features of a social club to the limited few who enjoy only- such features, but there come frequent occasions when its larger usefulness is very apparent. We believe that Ando- ver is better equipped for its fully rounded development because it has such an organization as the Andover Club, and we further believe that a larger support of its best aims and purposes would contribute greatly to its fullest efficiency.

•••• Another society ! Well, we must

acknowledge that we don't know what to say about it. Perhaps we can express our real convictions in no better way than to quote one of our best friends, a man of keen judgment and rare insight, who was once upon a time opposed to having new committees in a certain organization to do sotne particular work. Becoming quite exercised in his feelings he exclaimed with great fervor, ■■ I dinna believe in tire multi- plicity of committees ; we need more workers, not more liosses."

•••• A* week from Saturday comes the

Kxeter jrame, here in Andover. Be- side this important event, election pales to insignificam'e, from a local standpoint. Well, we«ll all celebrate a glor- ious victory after that without any reference to |«rty, and that's more than we can say for Tuesday's results. Hurrah for the " Blue ", and may they give us a chance to •• holler ".

The Phillips Inn is now under the management of its long time efficient clerk, Mr. Stewart, and its very acceptable steward, Mr. I*e. This ought to be a combination to insure a enntin- nance of excellent service and liberal patronage for Andover's only hotel. The Townsman certainly wishes this important institution generous success under its new management

REGISTRATION CLOSES Largest Number Added to the Lint and

To Form a Y. M. C. A.

About 30 young men of the town assembled in the parish house of Christ church on Tuesday evening for the purpose of discussing the advisability of forming a branch of the Voting Men's Christian Association. The meeting was addressed by A. A. KoberU, state secretary of the Y. II, C. A., for organization and by Mr. Kichards, a member of the state executive committee. Both men explained fully the plans for the organization and gave very flattering reports from newly formed associations throughout the county.

It is planned to have the religious part of 1 lit- meetings stand out and be an imnortant feature in the work. It is hoped that all young men in the town will join and a strong branch will be realized.

For 1 he present it is planned to hold the meetings in the I'arish house of Christ church.

Suffering with a Broken Thigh.

Miss Katlterine Buckley of Kidge street is suffering from a broken thigh at the Lawrence General hospital, caused by being knocked down with a bicycle ridden by John Sutton of North Ando- ver, in the square Monday afternoon.

Miss Buckley at the time of the accident was crossing Main street from the Bank builuing to J. P. Waketield's market when Sutton came down Park street at a moderate speed. He struck Miss Buckley full on ln'i side and threw her heavily to the^ ground*'' He raised the injured woman and with the assistance of an electric car conductor carried her to the sidewalk. Dr. Abbott, who was passing at the time, ordered a carriage from Higgins' stable and. Miss Buckley was taken to her home. ,

On Tuesday, Dr. Abbott ordered her removed to the Lawrence General hospital and on Wednesday morning her hip was set. No internal injuries were found.' and as she is now resting comfortably, it is expected that she will rapidly recover.

Hallowe'en Social.

A pleasant Hallowe'en social was held at the Free church vestry last Friday evening under the auspices of the social committee of the Christian Endeavor society. The vestry was decorated with autumn fruits ar.d vegetables and made the room look very attractive and appropriate for the occasion. Jack-o-lanterns were prominent in the front of the vestry.

An entertainment was give*n by members of the society which was very pleasing to the gathering. It was called the "Battle of Blenheim." Six young ladies dressed as ghosts went through the battle and the poem was read by Miss Helen Kitchie.

Songs were then sung by all present, after which refreshments were served.

Bold Thief Caught.

A daring theft was perpetrated in this town oil Monday evening when the home of Walter R. Newton, an instructor in Phillips Academy, was entered and a valuable gold watch stolen. The thief entered the house through the front door and made his way to the room of Mrs. Newton. She was in the house at the time and heard the man prowling around but being ill did not wish to interfere with him. He told her, however, on her inquiry as to his presence, that he was selling seals to the students. He went from room to room for many minutes, always avoiding being seen by Mrs. Newton. Much to her relief, he left the house without creating a disturbance. On investigation later it was found that the only thing missing was the watch, which had been lying on a table in Mrs. Newton's room.

Chief Frye was immediately notified of the affair and an investigation by him proved successful in running down the thief. On Tuesday morning it was learned that he had stayed at 0. Chap- man's and that he had left early in the morning. A good description was obtained of him and Chief Frye went to Boston, where he found his man. He gave his name as Max Barish and admitted his guilt.

A peculiar incident in the affair came to light during the day when the watch was found beneath a cushion in the front room, having been brought back by Barish who had become frightened and returned the stolen property. ^ Barish was released at the request of

Mrs. Newton who dfc not wish him prosecuted as the watch was again in her possession.

Crayon Recital.

Died in St. Louis.

Anyone who was not present at th^e Crayon Recital given by Pitt Fessenden Parker in the November club house last evening, missed one of the rarest treats in sketching and moulding ever given in Andover. »

Tbe entertainment was given for the benefit of the Andover Girl's club, and although the attendance was not large quite a sum will be realized. The work of Mr. Parker was most remarkable and kept the audience in constant awe and amazement at his wonderful talent.

His sketches probably interested the audience more than anything else, although his moulding and colored work was exceptionally fine.

ALBERT W.LOWE DRUGGIST.

The death of Ben Jenkins, son of Jolin It. .Jenkins of this town, occurred yesterday afternoon after having lingered since July 24 suffering from a wound in- flicted with a knife by a woman.

The stabbing occurred in the Luzon restaurant in the Philippine reservation at the World's fair. Jenkins, who was manager of the restaurant, objected to the behavior of a party of white women and Filipino soldiers. The women in- sisted upon remaining seated in the laps of the Filipinos, whose faces indicated that they were not half as much dis- pleased with the women's actions as Jenkins. When Jenkins finally ordered the partj from the restaurant, one of the wornen stabbed him. The attack was so sudden that Jenkins became dazed. When he recovered his senses the entire party had escaped.

It was thought at the time that Mr. Jenkins would not recover but he rallied and for a time his recovery was hoped for. The wound was suoh, however, that it was impossible to save his life.

Mr. Jenkins was born in this town about 41) years ago and had spent a great portion of his life on his father's farm, but had been in the West for several years. Frank B. Jenkins, a brother, left town last night for St. Louis anil will bring the body here for burial.

The deceased is survived by a father and mother, three brothers and one sister.

Piano Recital

A large number of Andover's music lover* gathered in the parlors of Mrs. C. L. Mills, Tuesday evening, to hear a tine program of piano music,.finely in- terpreted by Miss Ruth Deyo of Albany.

Those who had the pleasure of hearing Miss Deyo in her earlier days and pre- dicted for her the success she has made had no cause for disappointment. Her modest manner gained for her the sympathy of her hearers The program, a trying one for older pianists, was a success in every number.

The Kameau and Scarlatti pieces put all in mood for the splendid Schumann Sonata. The difficulties of this number were hardly in evidence under Miss Deyo's sure technique. The profound poetry of Schumann is well understood by her and more than one got deeper insight through her interpretation. Her healthy playing of Chopin was also another delight. In these numbers one heard to advantage her fine singing tone of marvellous sonority and carrying power. In her closing group she sustained the interest and especially in a Scherzo of her own, a work showing much promise in the field of composition. Miss Deyo soon leaves for Berlin to re- new her studies. On her return we pre- dict for her a career of the highest artistic excellence. Our thanks are due Miss Mills for giving us such an enjoy able evening of music.

Obituary.

MRS. HARRIET BAILEY. The death of Mrs. Harriet Bailey,

wife of John B. Bailey, occurred at her home on the River road near the Hood farm, on Saturday, at the age of tt6 years. Mrs. Bailey had been ill for about two years and six months but had borne up remarkably through all.-this trying time. She was born in Lowell but had speut the greater portion of her life on the farm with her husband.

The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon and interment was in Lowell.

To the Editor of the Townsman: Dear Sir,—In several of the Boston

papers I saw it noted that it was only in this country that a man like the Demo- cratic candidate for governor of this state was a possibility, stating that from a hard working lad it was possible to become the head of this big state.

It is true we live in a big grand country but let us not get to growing small or swelled heads over it. Success- ful men in business and in professional lite are not confined to America. It may be a pity and pity 'tis true that success in any calling means self-denial, hard work, ambition and perseverance. Many boys think that success just comes without strenuous exertion and fail and then wonder how the other fellow has kicked a goal.

To be successful in any calling means to many people amassing money and becoming rich. Riches bring many good things in their train. What pleasure it must be to a man to be able to give a free bed in a hospital to an invalid where the best medical skill and kindly nursing is obtained. The power of doing good with money must never be forgotten. We are apt to be discontented with our lot and are inclined to be en- vious of the rich man. We forget that riches do not always bring happiness.

The successful clergyman is often not a rich man yet by his faithful ministry on and doing his duty he is successful and is a respected citizen. The lamented "McKinley" was not a millionaire : "Line coin" did not become president becaus- he was a rich man. The people knew him to he a capable man and in history be will live as the great American president. :. *"*

Why do some of our. own young men succeed and others fail? ,

I read in a Scotch paper today the notice of a gentleman's giving f 100,000 to help a hospital. This is the third donation of a like amount from the same donor. When Mr. Paton, the grand old missionary to the Hebrides, was in And- over, I asked him if he knew Mr. M. in Scotland. "Oh yes, I know him! He gave me 9500 and told me to let him know when I was out of funds." I knew the rich man's father well and as a boy I knew him. His father was a hand loom weaver. When he married his wages were seventy-five cents a day. His wife was a help meet surely for she did the housework and filled his weft pirns. His son started life warping yarns and by their united savings they began to employ hand loom weavers, bought the yarn and sold the cloth. This was the beginning of the man who rose to be provost of the city and last week gave the above donation.

The same Scotch paper gives a short sketch of the life of Mr. Campbell Smith, the "genial honest judge," who began his career as an apprentice stone mason at twelve years of age. When he was 20 he had saved enough to pay his way for a year at St. Andrews university.

The proposed Field Day of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society at Arling- ton, Mass., to .show citizens of the Mate how to destroy the gypsy and brown tail moths and the San Jose Scale is at- tracting a great deal of favorable attention. Tin* meeting will be held at 1 p. in., Nov. 5th, and promises to be a great help to all interested in the preservation of trees. Iteports from the committee in charge show a great deal of popular interest in the subject and as the place of meeting is easily reached by train or electrics a large attendance is expected. As many ladies will doubt- less be present arrangements have been made for the use of the Town Hall should the day prove stormy. There will t.»i' plenty of opportunity to see the insects* which have proved so costly to Massachusetts, wbile good speakers will fully describe hoswto combat them in all stages. Traineo*foresters will be on hand to demonstrate all the important methods of Held work, while superintendent J. A. Pettigrew of the Boston Park .Department, will exhibit what is probably the largest power sprayer iu the State if not in the country. The exhibit of spraying outfits and insecticides promises to be of more than usual interest. While the Field Day is designed primarily to help the citizens of the moth infected districts the meeting cannot fail to be of the highest practical value to all citizens of the State who are interested in the preservation of trees. Owing to the rapid increase of the moths there is great danger that these pests may soon spread throughout the State and all who attend the meeting will have the best kind of an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the appearance of the insects.

The nominating committee will port the following list of officers;

Brush Fire on Cricket Field.

A brisk brush fire was in progress on the Cricket club grounds aod the St. Augustine's cemetery adjoining, on Wednesday afternoon, when a telephone message from Mrs.- Walter Coliroan called a detachment of the fire department in the supply wagon to the scene. After half au hour's hard fighting with shovels the fire was extinguished without, the loss of property. A well trodden path undoubtedly saved the' Club house of the Andover Cricket and Kootball club, as the fire burned right up to the edge and on the other side the leaves and brush were very thick right up to the house. It is considered very fortunate by club members that there was no wind as the burning leaves might have been blown across.

A small boat house owned by Alvin E. Tough, situated on the edge of the Shaw-sheen viver, was badly charred on one side and it is a mystery that it. was not entirely destroyed. A coat of paint will restore it to'its former appearance.

LAWRENCE MARKET SSf&

The semi-annual meeting of the An- dover conference of Congregational i hurches waa held Tuesday afternoon and evening with the First Congrega- tional church. Dracut. Rev. J. A. Mc- Knlght pastor.

The afternoon session was called to order by Moderator 8. H. Thompson of Kirk street church. Lowell. Rev. W. K. Wright of Lawrence made the opening prayer.

The conference secretary, A. W. Burnham. V. D* S., of Lowell, presented the records of the last meeting,.

The following committees were appointed bv the.moderator: On arrangements: Rev. Fi-ank R. Shlpman of Andover and A. C. Russell of Low- ell; on business. Rev. E. V. Bigelow of Lowell. Charles •*.. Breck' of^ Me- thuen and Rev. J. A. McKnight of Dtac-ut; on credentials. Rev. «... fc. Lovejoy of Lawrence and Andrew Lid- dell of Lowell.

Two Invitations were received from churches who wished to entertain the conference at its April session—from the First Trinitarian church. Lowell, and from the Evangelical church. Tyngsboro. The conference will hold Its April session with the First Trini- tarian church. Lowell, that invitation being the first to reach the committee. The moderator at that time will he Rev. G. E. Lovejoy of Lawrence .with N. P. Frye of North Andover alternate.

Resolutions on the death of Rev. Egbert Coffin Smyth, D. D.. L. L. 1».. were submitted.

Rev. Frederick H. Page and Rev. C. W. Huntington. D. D,. were the committee who prepared the resolution.

Discussion on the topic: "How shall laxity toward covenant obligations In our churches be remedied?" was opened by Rev. K. A. Wilson of Andover. He said In part: The church should set standard for fidelity and honor In politics, in business, in social life and In the family. The standards of the community will not rl»e higher than the standard set by the church. We should raise the standards of daily living, to the level of our covenant vows, or lower our vows to the standards of living. There is no question as to which would be better for the church or the community. Our covenant obligation'' are essentially very similar, in all of our churches, and have Ween the same practically since the first Congrega- tional church was organised In" New England. How many there are who. In human Judgment, are not seeking first the kingdom of God and His rlghteouF- ness— are making little effort to sustain the activities, charities and good name of the church—who live in neglect, dis- trust, and often even In strife with their fellow members.

We must recognise the fact that the religious life of today has naturally '■hanged from what it was 50 years ago. Life today is complex. There is les* leisure for religious contemplation and more demand for active service. We are compelled now to choose from many opportunities, the way In which we can best use our talents. The true test of fidelity Is found In the spirit controlling our lives In all of our activities.

He suggested four remedies, namely: First—Greater care should be taken

that all candidates for church membership have a right and definite idea of the meaning and sacredness. of th% obligation it implies.

Second—The standing committee should exercise more faithful care over the Christian welfare of the members and the honor of the church.

Third—Cultivation of a warm spirit of fellowship in the church.

Fourth—The cultivation of a strong spiritual life In the Individual members.

Charles A. Breck. Esq., of Methuen. continued the discussion. He said he rould not help wondering wnether the tone implied In the topic, so characteristic of our day. is Justified by the facts. There has not been a time for * good many hundred years, when it waa not possible for a man who took a long view, to see that the kingdom was coming; or when It was not possible to see signs of degeneracy, If we took the

ed: 'If any one supposes that Mr. Breck Is not in sympathy with the prayer meeting, he lacks information. short view. The church 1B an organization which Is a means, never an end. If the Kingdom of Heaven is coming in the world, we need not be concerned if the. church is not holding the dominant place that It has held. The church It- self Is not In a condition of despair, though not holding the same unique and dominant place In the community that It has held.

The covenant is a dedication of one's , self to God. The church cannot hold a man to every one of its services, or

i even to any particular one, and hold that his covenant compels him to support those sei*vlces. It is only when he has done something which separates him from «od that It can be said. I* has broken hts covenant obligations. The one obligation Is to live as a child of God. in his business, social, famllv and Individual life.

Do we have that standard In mind when we criticise people, or do we have a purely ecclesiastical standpoint?

The speaker further deprecated the method of the Christian Endeavor society, of emphasizing, In its pledge, the obligation to take a speaking part ii the services.

Rev. E. Victor Bigelow, thought th* ideal, or the chler idea, that should be kept in mind, is that a covenant means the blndlnir together of two parties. The individual that unites with the church Is to be bound In some fashion with the rest of the church. Then fh • thing for us to do, in strengthening the covenant, is to keep the parties closer together. Laxity means thiit they are not enough concerned In eacai other's welfare; and means may "be devised by which they can take a more lively Interest In each other's affairs.

Mr. Bigelow took Issue against Mr. Ereck's criticism of the Christian En- deavor pledge, holding that the Im- portance of taking a speaking part In the church prayer meetings needs to be emphasised, not necessarily as a standard of one's persona) relations with God. but as an essential part of the covenant entered into between the church and the Individual.

Rev. Sarah A. Dlxon said she hoped every one present would understand fully that Mr. Breck did not disparage the prayer meeting or speaking In meeting, of Christian Endeavor work, but he did emphasise the fact that those things are instruments to make more real the covenant with God Him- self.

Rev. F. H. Page of Lawrence asked if it were not true, that everywhere, among the people, there is a tendency to yield to worldllness. as against the claims and demands of the religious life. It is a day and time when the material and worldly spirit Is sweep- ing harder than the religious spirit of the age. It brings about conditions of laxity, in the matter of devotion of people's time to the church.

Rev. Dr. Gates of Andover said that the spiritual life Is Individual and personal. It Is not secured by means of an organization or Institution. Yet the atmosphere of such an^Jnstltutlon as the church Is the best atmosphere in which to foster and to further this spiritual life.

Others taking part in the discussion were: Mr. Jnslah Batchelder, of Chelmsford: Rev. Geo. E. Lovejoy of South Lawrence; Rev. T. C Welles of Lowell. Most of these speakers took occasion to defend the clause of the Christian Endeavor pledge, the emphasis of which Mr. Breck had deprecated.

Rev. C. H. Ollphant of Methuen said it Is educative for ministers to learn the point of view of the Intelligent, educated and alert layman, and he considered Mr. Breck's paper one of the best things in the program of the afternoon. He did not understand Mr. Breck to say that he did not believe in an obligation on the part of young people, but he did not believe In laying the emphasis there. Mr. Ollphant add-

Alabama Lynchere Indicted. Tbe federal grand Jury at Huntsvllle,

court at Toledo, O., has ruled that the Fire Underwriters of that place Is an illegal body because Its object Is to maintain rates and to eliminate competition, a course contrary'1 to public policy. The case arose from the plea of a member of the association for an order to prevent its expulsion case will be carried up.

Jail For Smoking Mother. Mrs. Jenny Lasher was sentenced at

Blnghamton, N. Y„ for thirty days In the county jail for endangering the lives of her children by smoking clg- jarettes in their presence. The complaint was made by her husband, and the conviction is the first of its kind tinder the New York state law.

Democrats themselves would be glad when Roosevelt was elected, and ap- pealed to the men at New York, to share In the triumph of its illustrious son, Theodore Roosevelt.

Tom Watson's Parting Shot. The Populist candidate, Thomas E.

TVatson, made what was said to be the final speeches of his campaign at New York Oct. 25 and at Boston Oct. 26, In which he said Roosevelt straddled nothing but a war horse, while Parker straddled everything but a war horse. He said he did not expect to be elected, but would go home feeling that he had done his duty In showing up the evils of our present system.

Signs of Socialist Gains. During the week large and enthusi-

astic meetings in New York and other eastern cities have been addressed by the Socialist candidate, Eugene V. Debs, In spite of the fact that a charge of from 10 to 50 ceuts had been made to defray campaign expenses. These meetiugs following similar outpourings In the west have awakened tbe Repub- lican managers to a possible danger from this source In certain doubtful states, especially In Indiana and West Virginia, where it appears that a large number of the laboring men have been influenced by the Socialist propaganda. Mr. Debs is an effective speaker and frankly announces that his party has "the patience of preliminary defeat and the faith of ultimate victory." He says It Is not n party of reform, but of peaceful revolution. It would "over- throw capitalism, emancipate the working classes, elevate woman to her true place In the social world, reconstruct society, givo employment to the working classes by the working classes, pro- claim freedom for labor throughout the world and build up a superstructure which would mean a higher humanity than the world has ever known."

Parker and His Critics. In addressing the several visiting del-

egations of Democrats at Rosemount Judge Parker returned to the attack on tbe Philippine question, reasserting that the Islands have cost us more than $<K0.0O0,O0O, exclusive of the $20,- 000,000 cash payment to Spain, and 200,000 lives. For bis authority be referred to the statement made by the late Senator Hoar In a speech before the senate and to the statistics of Ed- ward Atkinson, who places the cost of the Philippines to date at $1,200,000,- 000. At the same time Judge Parker accepted the issue of extravagance and militarism by saying that be would favor a reduction In our standing army. Later In other addresses he attacked the tariff and the trusts, saying that his administration would enforce the antlmonopoly laws. He said the trusts and the protected interests had joined hands and were contributing large sums to perpetuate the present administration.

Secretary of War Taft in various speeches has taken Judge Parker to task for putting dependence on Mr. At- kinson's statistics and published an extended cablegram from Governor Wright, at Manila, categorically denying the various Democratic charges about the official corruption and industrial stagnation said to prevail in the Philippines today. Secretary /raft wants to know what Judge Parker would do about negro suffrage in the south if he were elected president, speaking on this as a manifest departure from the consent of the governed which "is indispensable to Democratic success." ^

Senator Knox In a statement to the press accused both Parker and Cleve- land of changing front on the trust Is- sue, saying that earlier in the campaign both had bid for the support of the trusts.,

The greatest speech last week on the .RepublicnTi side was made by "Secreta- ry Hay in Carnegie hall, New York, before a packed house. He charged Parker with indeflnlteness as to his policy and referred to him as "a gilt standard candidate." He claimed that

Successful Flight of Airships. The airship Arrow, owned and per-

fected by Thomas S. Baldwin of Ban Francisco, made the first really successful flight of a dirigible airship in this country Oct. 25 at the world's fair, St. Louis. The ship was manned by A. Roy Knahenshue of Toledo, O. Vast throngs of people watched the machine as it arose from the fair grounds and performed evolutions with and against the wind. until a motor chain broke, rendering the big fan propeller useless. The operator still had control of the ship's descent and, floating with the wind over the city and across the >lis- slsslppl, alighted safely at Valley Junc- tion, ill., ten miles from the starting point, safe and sound. The flight had occupied one hour. This machine is equipped with a gas balloon, cigar shaped and made of Japanese silk. The frame attachment is thirty feet long, and the propellers are turned by a gasoline engine. The flight was not a trial for the prize.

Another successful air voyage was made by Thomas C. Benbow of Clalr- mont, Mont.. In his airship, the Meteor. He sailed his craft around the con- course, showing that he could guide it in any direction.

International Court Averts Great War Dark waa the world's outlook for peace last week when the British

people awoke to the enormity of the offense committed by the Baltic squadron of Rnssia's warships in firing on the peaceful Hull fishing fleet in the North sea on Oct. 22. In addition to the conflict In the east a great European war was threatening for days while the British government waited for the czar to hear from Bojestvensky, the admiral in command of the offending squadron. John Bull's blood was np and his

finger was on the trigger, the Mediterranean fleet being concentrated with decks cleared for action at Gibraltar to resist the further progress of the Russian ships. The latter reached Vigo, Spain, Oct. 27, before Admiral Rojestvensky telegraphed his explanation of the affair. "His report claimed that the Russian fleet had been threatened by two torpedo boats and that In repelling them the fishing smacks had got In range of fire. He said that one of the torpedo boats was sunk and the other took refuge behind the fishermen. This story was not credited in England and preparations continued to enforce the British ultimatum. +

Already the czar had communicated his X Admiral Rojestvens apology, regrets and promise of indemnity to *

the families of the two slain and several wound- ? ed fishermen and for the one boat sunk. But punishment of the offend f ing officers was demanded. That turned on the question of fact. *

In that perilous moment out of all the aspiration and effort of the J ages in man's struggle between his lower and higher desires spoke tbe + still small voice of a nation's conscience, seeking the truth and peace % through arbitration. On France's suggestion the czar took advantage •:• of Tbe Hague peace tribunal which he had initiated by offering to sub- *

> mlt the question of fact to an International court to be called at Vigo •' | Immediately. This offer was accepted by the British cabinet and peace . [ won. J ►« »>««'" »««♦« HI 111 >HH>»Mm|fHt.MM»'«'ti

FOOTBALL ANDOVER 17; YALE '08, 0.

The Yale freshmen eleven wai defeated on Brothers field Saturday afternoon, 17 to 0, by Phillips (Andover} academy. Andover lost two touchr downs by being held once on Yale's one-yard line and by Daley's fumbling when he had a clear field from the 25- yard line.

The work of the Yale team was most creditable, and the attack of the New Haven youngsters seemed to have much more power than tl.at of the Harvard freshmen team when it played here a wee.: ago. Three times they gained between 50 and 60 yards by repeated line bucking, but it was in vain as far as scoring was concerned, as Andover either got the ball on downs or forced her opponents to punt before her own goal was dangerously threatened. ' 3" a

Yale put up a stubborn defence at times, but Andover was too strong and once started It was Impossible to stop her. Andover's advance was much faster than Yale's due to the success that Dillon and the halves had with end runs. Dillon once cleared 30 yards and twice Bartholomew went 25 yards.

The work of the Andover team was hampered by the absence of ('apt. Thompson, Brown and Bullock.

Cleveland was the star man of the Yale team. Sherman, Hockenberger,

J Dines and Park also played well. PHILLIPS ANDOVER, YALE '08

The Bunting football team played another tie. game with Andover Satur- day afternoon on their own grounds In Wiggfnvllle, the* score being 2 goals each. The game started late on account oij, two of the visitors not showing up or? time. Capt. Marriott Won the toss, and decided, to play with the sun and wind In his favor. The Bunt- ings made another change In their fork ward line, Marriott playing E. Nelson on the left wing with h.s, \swAher, thus parting the wing players, as, in the previous games that they have helped In no small way to secure the goals that the Buntings have scored Blrt- whistle was brought from fullback and played Inside right. In the first half of the game the play was of a give and take order, both sides falling to take advantage of the chances offered to them to score. Half time arrived with neither side having scored. Thf teams chauged around immediately, Halligan kicked off, passing to Erick- son who had resumed his position at Inside right, and that player In turn passed to A. Flndlayson who after some passing between the right wing scored the first goal for the Bunting in about a minute's play' after the te-start at half time.

Andover immediately attacked the Bunting goal but was repulsed by Campbell, and after each goal had been visited a number of times An- dover scored their equalizing goal. Birtwistle scored the second goal for the Buntings from a force kick.

A short time before full time An- dover scored their second goal thus making the game a tie. Tn the l;i-t minutes of the game the Buntings pressed the Andovers, but could not get the ball through the goal. Nelson sending a shot which struck the goal posts, and bounded out of play. On the Bunting side, the work of Tom O'Loughlin is worthy of commenda- tion for his work In the goal all through the game showed that he is worthy of his place on any team. He was In no way to blame for the two goals scored against him. According to the team that was picked after Saturday's game it was seen that he had been laid off the team for the game against Lynn nexf^Saturday on th? Bunting grounds, and that wilt be Just the gar-e that he will be the most needed. Campbell also played a fine game, his play belnir excellent 11 through the game. The line-up— T. O'Loughlin. goal: J.

About 1.45 o'clock Thursday morning car No. lui) of the Middleton & Dan- vera line of the B. ft N. street railway company, bound from Law- rence to Salem, containing about at) young men of Dunvers, Beverly anu Salem, who had been participating In the Republican torchlight parade m this city last evening, jumped the track at Carney's corner in Norm Andover, glanced against a pole across the street and then fell over on the east aide of the road, grinding along a tew feet farther before it stopped.

That there was no loss of life la miraculous. Six passengers were tierlously hurt, however, and a half a dozen more were Injured so that they had to receive medical attendance. Nearly every one in the car was badly shaken up and bruised.

The car was In charge of Motormui. James Moran of Danvers and Conduc- tor Joseph Sullivan of Salem. Both were experienced street railway men.

There is a sharp curve at the place of the accident and when the turn way reached the car was moving at such a rate of speed, variously estimated (•:■ the passengers at from 15 to HO miles an hour, that it failed to keep the rail and plunged across the street. It is said that the head light was not lighted and that this accounts for the failure of the motorman to see that he was approaching a curve.

There were about 60 members of thr Jolly Tars of Danvers on the car, about 20 members of the Salem Witches and about ten members of toe Beverly company. Patrick Reardon, who resides near the scene of the accident, threw open his house to thi; injured and he and his family greatly assisted in the work of caring for thos-' who were hurt.

Aid was summoned from this city, the police being notified first and th«y summoning physicians and the ambulance.

The Injured were brought to the Law- rence general hospital in the ambulance and in a special electric car sent to the scene by the street railway management.

Some of the nassengers say they think the head light had been tempor- arily turned out by members of the party tn a spirit of fun.

It was at first thought that one or two of the injured would die, but this iiinm it was given out at the hospital that in all probability all the victims would recover.

Motorman Moran sustained a severe cut In the head and his ear was torn Conductor Sullivan escaped pfactlca'.y uninjured although his end of the car was damaged more than the front end.

General Superintendent Thomas Lees when asked as to the probable cause of the accident, upon his arrival from the scene of the wreck this noon, said that he was unable to make a statement at present since he would first have-to hear from Supt. Wilkinson of Salem who has charge of the running of the Middleton & Danvers line. Supt. Lees said that Mr. Wilkihson w.ll question the motorman and conductor this afternoon and will probably make a report to> night. Mr. Lees added that there w no doubt but that the car was traveling too swiftly when it struck the curve, but whether the motorman was going at that rate when near the curve he could not say.

The officials who went to the scene of the wreck today were President Sulli- van. Division Supt. Wilkinson of Lynn, Division Supt. Lees of Lowell,

Supt. Bruce of Lawrence and SUpt. Chalmers of Salem. J>

It was 'found'that the rear trucks left the track before the forward trucks did, which was the main reason why the*results were not more serious.

Street railway men say that if the car had struck the pole head-on ther« would have been much loss of life and that if the forward truck had left the iron first the car w.ould have' rolled over more than once, with probable heavy loss of life.

It Is miraculous that there was not a large death list as a result of the street car accident. Car 100 of the Mid- dleton and Danvers branch of the Bo3- tt>n and Northern street railway company, filled with from 80 to 90 young men who had been participating in the Republican torchlight parade in this city last evening. Jumped the track without a moment's warning at Car- ney's corner, crashed against a post and then overturned, the under side being crushed in and the occupants hurled about in the utmost confusion. Had the car struck the post, which ii* a cedar pole ten inches square, neau- on, there would undoubtedly have been a large fatality list. The blow was a glancing one and tended to decrease the momentum of the car somewhat. The car ran about its own length before it fell over into the gutter.

The fact that there were not mor*! injured after the crash came Is due to the presence of mind of the passengers. Instead of rushing out madly and thus crushing each other a.l crawled out slowly and those who were uninjured began at once to remove those who were.

It was at first thought that Richard Floyd of Danvers could not possibly live, there being evidence of concussion of the brain, besides an injury to Ms back the full of extent of which could not be ascertained In the hurried examination made by the physfclans who were summoned to the scene of *he accident.

At the general hospital this morning. It was announced that Flyod will probaly recover. He Is the only one of t. Injured about whose recovery there is any doubt at the hospital and th° physicians now believe that he will liv " s

I to look after the Interests of the injured.

On the car were about sixty members of the Jolly Tars of Danvers and twen-

j ty members of the Salem Witches who had been participating in the Re- publican torchlight parade In this cl:y. They left Lawrence on the return home at about 1.30 a. m. As the road was clear a quick trip was planned and the car was speeding along at a rate of about 20 miles an hour when It suddenly struck the curve at Carney's corner and left the rail. The lights went out as soon as the car left the

Iron and then came the crash. Every- thing was all over before the occupants of the car knew what had happened. The car went several feet after It had turned on Its side and the grinding, the splintering of wood and smashing of glass was soon followed by the groans of the wounded. Some one cried out: "Don't rush out!" and the command was obeyed. The uninjured crawled from the wrecked car, lighted torches and began at once to rescue the wounded. The police of this city were notified by telephone and ambulance?, physicians and police officers were hurried to the scene.

The wounds of the injured were tem- porarily dressed and they were hurried to the general hospital In this city in ambulances and a special car provided by the street railway management.

James Moran of Danvers and Joseph Sullivan of Salem were in charge of the car, the former being the motorman. He has had experience in running en the line and it Is believed that the reason he did not slow up at the curve was that he was not aware that the car was so close to the turn in the road.

Superintendent Bruce and other street railway officials went to the scene of the accident this morning and made an investigation.

The accident Is attributed to the fact that there was no head light on. The car was equipped with one, but the passengers all agree that it was not lighted and this prevented the motorman from seeing the curve.

The incandescent globe in the headlight had been smashed some time, but there Is no evidence to show that It had been broken before the accident. Some of the passengers say they think the light was turned out by one of their number as a Joke, but it Is hard to find out..Just Why the headlight was out. f ^

Motorman Moran is a regular em- ploye of the road and has run over the Lawrence and Salem line on the night cars all this fall, so that he Is ramillar v th the track and but for the fact that the head light was not on would not have been likely to take the curve without slowing down.

Major F. C. Spauldlng of the Jol'y Tars of Danvers, when asked to tell his experiences said: "1 was seated on the left hand side of the car, near the rear. We were going along all right tit a lively clip when I felt a sudden Joi*. then a crash, followed by a grinding sound. I was pinned down against the side of the car which had overturned, by a dozen or more of the boys who were on the other side of the car and standing In the aisle. I did not feel hurt myself, althougn I afterwards found that my leg was cut. I heard groans from the wounded and realiz- ing that the result would be still worse if there should be a stampede. I cried: 'Don't rush out.' All seemed to understand and were remarkably quiet. We who were the least hurt crawled out over broken seats, pieces of the rear and side vestibule, and began at once to pull out the wounded. Patrick Reardon,. whose house *s Just across the street, told ua to carry the Injured In there and he and Ids family did everything they could to assist us and to "relieve the wounde i. John Bruen, one of our company, was sent to -telephone for the police „ and physicians. It is a miracle that we were not all killed. We all saw what a narrow escape* we had had when w<* had lighted our torches and got a glimpse of the wreck."

"H. L. Putnam and I remained with the wounded at the hospital all night. A special car was^ sent up from Danvers to take the others home. This morning we went over to the scene of the accident and found a number oi watches and other valuables belonging to our boys In the debris. It was an unfortunate accident, but the results might have been much worse. It is impossible to describe the sensations I felt when the crash came."

City Physician Black and Drs. Mc- Carthy and Schwartz responded to the call for physicians and did excellent service in caring for the wounded.

Wedding.

The sun was brightly setting at the close of a beautiful November afternoon, when at 5 o'clock Wednesday, Miss Emma Louise, daughter <>f Mrs. Mary Hastings Blxby was united in marriage with Frederick Edward Dean of the carpet renovating firm of Dean and Gardener of this city.

The ceremony was performed by the Rev. George E. Lovejoy, pastor of the South Congregational church in the presence of the Immediate relatives at the home of the bride's mother, 37 Pleasant street. North Andover.

The bridegroom Is J both well and most favorably known In business and lodge circles in this city and the young lady he took for his bride enjoys a large nurrtber of friendships in the

suburban town where she moves In the best social circles. They have the ben wishes of all for a very happy union.

The bride was attended by her sister. Miss Ida Blxby as bridesmaid. The best man was George Woodley of South Lawrence, a close friend of the groom.

The bride was very becomingly gowned In white crepe de chene adorn- ed with trimmings to match. She carried a shower bouquet of handsome bride roses. Her sister wore a costume of blue lansdowne with trimmings of ecru lace and she carried pink pink*. The home was decorated with plants, hemlock branches and laurel.

Between the hours of 7 and 9 o'clock a very pleasant reception was held at the home of the newly married couple at 542 Andover street. South Lawrence. About 150 guests were present coming from Weymouth. BoBton. Lowell, An- dover, Methuen. Chlcopee, Portland, Maine, and Quito, Equador, South Am- erica.

The happy couple received the sincere congratulations of their many guests and were assisted In receiving by the parents. Mrs. Mary H. Blxby and Mrs. Mary Dean. The ushers were Ml«ui Mabel J. Cheney of North Andover, Miss Isabelle and Miss Ruth Dean, nieces of the groom, of this city.

A bounteous wedding repast was served the guests by Caterer Thomas Rhodes of Andover.

Mr. and Mrs. Dean received a very large number of beautiful and costly gifts of silver, cut glass, china and other wares, useful domestic articles, and furniture. They left in the evening for a short wedding Journey. Their departure was made amid a shower of rice and confetti and with the good wishes of their guests Returning they will be at home to friends after Janu-

i ary 1st. 1905.

At the annual meeting of the Roger Wolcott /Wl~/*>.heM recently. Rev. H. I'shejBK^fro, the warden of the club, gaveWlilstery of the year's work which proved to be interesting and was substantially as follows:

Since the first annual meeting held on the 29th of last October the Roger Wolcott club has held 18 meetings. Twenty new members have been added during the past year and at the next regular meeting in two weeks six will be Initiated and will be received into the club as probationers. Eight members have withdrawn; not because of infirmity, yet probably because of "advanced age." The meetings have

been of Interest to all the members. Usually there has ben a debate, wltt papers of historical Interest followed by a social hour and games.

On January 16th the boys held a merry sleigh ride under the care of Mr. Appleton and the rector. We went tc Haverhill. The party left In fair weather but returned In a snow storm; in spite of the snow fall, all had a good time. The boys refreshed us with songs and hymns on the way home, and Mr. Appleton comforted the "Inner man" witm more substantial supplies of various kinds.

In February we held two meetings of special importance. They were to commemorate the lives of two of our greatest men, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. At each meeting the members gave papers covering different periods In the lives of thes- two noble men.

On Patriots' Day. April 19th. 22 of the members went to Roger Wolcott club camp In Boxford to spend the day. We had a fine time. We played games, built a fire on the hearth- stone, had a good lunch and returned in the afternoon. A few of the boys came home in a wagon but the greater number walked home.

In June we held an entertainment. Seven of the members showed good histrionic talent upon our stage in a play entitled, "Thirty Minutes for Re- freshments." We made $23 which was devoted to the goods for our summer camp. In July of this year 32 members went to our camp in Boxford. This year's outing wan fully as successful as last year. There were no accidents, none were ill and we added to our comfort by digging a well. It was the comfort of anticipation for the well did not yield water until after we broke camp. We wish to acknowledge here the runny kindnesses extended to us by John Wiley and Mrs. Wiley. They made dally visits to the camp and added to our commissary department manv substantial tokens of their thoughtful regard. We should also thank the other friends who gave us contributions of money for the expense of our camp. To them we owe very much for the pleasure a,nd profit of the summer outing.

We must not rorget to record tho' a little out of line as to time, our trip to Boston on the 11th of May. It w»s the occasion of our annual meeting. Seventeen members were in the party. , Mr. Qlarlj. an honorary member of the club in ..-ompany "with the warden went with the boys. We had a moet enjoyable time visiting places of his- toric interest In and near Boston. We all finally gathered at Mr. Appletoh's apartments and were entertained right royally, by him. We voted then and there that never before in our short or long lives had we enjoyed ourselves better: and :io host was ever kinder<* or more generous. In the evening we attended the annual meeting of th.> Roger Wolcott clubs of Massachusetts at Trinity church. The addresses by Rev. Dr. Blanchard. Mr. Jenkins. Miss Derby and Mr. Appleton were excellent and the exercises and reports gave us all much pleasure.

After the camping days came the new interest in the club house fair. The Roger Wolcott club voted to take part in the fair. Committees were appointed and under the klnr] cure of Mr Wrlgley and Miss Drew, the Roger Wolcott club table became a worthy contribution to the success of the fair. The boys gathered in $66 and cleared $57 above all expenses. Boys I want to thank you as president of the Young Men's club, now, and in the best way I can. for your enthusiasm, your Inter- est and kind help. I hope when the club house doors are open, you will all be able to share In Its hospitality and find a home, a proper shelter with in its rooms.

We have had to lose by their removal from town three of our good friends, one C. R. Htacey. one of our directors who helped us a great deal by his counsel and presence last winter, another, Milton C Drisco, an honorary member whom we all delighted to honor because of his deep Interest and kindness to us last yeat Rev. Dr. Barnes has left us. but not without a grateful memory on our part for nis love and good words and deeds In our behalf. VVf should also thank George W. Blanchard for his klndess In giving us military drill and the setting up exercises. We should In like manner remember gratefully Prlncipa1

Ralph L. Wlggin of the Johnson High school, also a director, for his advice* and assistance In athletics and In cal- esthenies; without hts cheery word? and athletic skill some of our winter meetings would have been very dull Indeed.

Master James Hargreaves has served us very acceptably as our governor and Harold Leltch as lieutenant governor since January. Geo. S. Carter has been the recorder and Arthur Reeves ha*- continued to be the efficient treasui*r since the day we organized. Tak*=. It sfl in all the past year has been a good on* so far as work and fellowship and happy times can show results. We mlgfll have done better things in better ways. There is great room for Iroprovem nt In our club work and life Members are not always evidence of strength or success. We are a club whose aim Is to be good citizens. We ought also to try constantly to help other boys who are not with us. We ought to be examples of good conduct on the street and in the schools and In our homes.

'We begin our third year with this aim still before us. We hope our friends will visit us In our meetings this winter. We will try to make it pleasant for them. We have not In this pariah house the room we need for our games or plays. But we will try to be con- tented because we feel quite sure that when our next anniversary comes, we s'.iaH probably have the great pleasure of celebrating It with you all In the new ctub house soon to be built.

Mr. Monro's and being East In attendance at the convention In Boston he took the opportunity to make him a visit. He was entertained at tne rectory.

] He goes to church in the morning and ! the evening, and goes to prayer meet- | nig and speaks there. The emphasis, I in his speech was laid upon the ver-

tical covenant with God." Mr. Oli- phant still further argued, in defence of Mr. Breck's position, that Chris- tianity is glorified, not by the people speaking In prayer meetings, but oy men and women who deal justly; and keep their covenant with God. in their daily life. . ' - •

Mr. Breck„then took the platform for a few moments and said he was sorry that, in his first appearance before the conference, he should have played the role of the bull in the china

. j»hop. His paper htjd not been careful- " !y rewritten, as it would have' bee.i

had he had more time at his command, and he was grateful to those who had understood him and explained his position. Nevertheless, he did feel thai his paper had voiced the protest of the layman, that he be'not judged oy ecclesiastical standards alone. Th-, layman fulfills his covenant obligation when pfrdaes Conscientiously, the work that God has given him to do' m the world.

Dr. Martin said that the council was the greatest of all our national Con- gregational councils; and it waa great for the same reason that the old council at Nicea was great,—because it was permeated through and through by a spirit of passionate loyalty to the person of Christ.

Dr. Day. president of Andover Theo- logical seminary, spoke of the military note In the council, as struck by Dr. Hillis. The council was also, he said, a most interesting one on the side of polity as shown in the treatment ot many plans. The greatest thing done, however, in the direction of polity or organization, was that of extending a fraternal hand to other Christian bodies.

HOW THE BALLOTS ARE COL-

LECTED AND RECORDED.

While the clerks at the office of the secretary of state are all through vith ti. work of getting out the ballots 'or tlm election they are,only enjoying a short breathing spell before they are fluoded with the election returns which they must sort and ge*t into shape for the governor and council who are to officially examine them and issue a proclamation as to wno is elected.

< ti'tuber 1. the secretary of state's » ffice sent to each of the city and town clerks a number of retnrn blanks. These included one for presidential electors, one for governor and one each for lieutenant governor, secretary, reasurer, auditor, attorney general,

<-<>• gressman, councillor, senator. p- resentati, e, district attorney and sheriff. With each of these was an envelope and included was a large packet envelope addressed to the secretary of state.

As fast as each paper Is filled out by the t-.ty or town clerkslt is to be placed In its proper envelope and sealed Then finally the whole lot of envelopes are to be placed in the larger envelope

■?aled and mailed to the secretary. At the secretary's office the larger

envelope is opened and each of thes? Interior envelopes is dated when received and then they are sorted into bundles to correspond to the different districts of which that partlcllar city or tow., is a part. If on opening one of these larger envelopes one of thfl Inte .r envelopes ia found unsealed, it is laid aside In that condition and the particular city or town clerk notified that he must at once send a new certificate. The Hist is invalidated because it must go to the governor's council in

unsealed envelope. City and town clerks have len days

in which to make these returns to the secretary of atate. In Boston the ele. - tion commissioners have five days more. The governor with at least riv ■ councillors open and tabulate these returns and officially determine who an;

elected to the several offices, and Issues his summons to such persons as appear to be chosen.

The city and town clerks make returns of all votes cast for county commissioner and associate county commissioner to the clerk of court of their county. These returns are opened by a board of examiners consisting of the judge and registrar* of the probate court and the clerk of court. This hoard meets on the first Wednesday of the month following the election, examines the returns and issues a certificate of election to the successful candidates.

In case of the representatives to the general court, while returns signed by the city and town clerk are sent to the secretary of state, transcripts of these signed by the selectmen in towns are sent to the town clerk in those dls- tricts made up of several towns.

In cities the returns are examined and certificates of election are issued by the aldermen. In districts composed of a single town, certificates are issued by the selectmen. In districts composed of more than one town the town clerks meet together on the tenth day following the day of election, tabulate the returns and issue the certificates of election.

In the case of presidential electors the returns must be opened by the governor and council at least ten days after they have been transmitted to the secretary of state. This board shall thereafter declare, by proclamation printed in at least one newspaper in each county the names of the persons who have received at least one fifth of the entli'e number of votes cast for electors and the number of vote:* received by each person. If no contest is made-wlthin fourteen days from the date of such proclamation, the 1H having the most votps «h-.|' ■ deemed elected and the governor shall there- upon issue a certificate of election *o «*very such person.

No THIRD TERM FOR PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8— Frealdent Roosevelt tonight issued the .'ol'owin? statement:

"I am deeply sensible of the hon- or done me by the American pecj le in expressing their confidence in what I have done and have t^ied to do. I appreciate tc the fu!' the

- solemn responsibility this ronfl- dence imposes upon me and 1 :-hal! do all that in my power lies, not to forfeit it. On the fourth of March next I shall have served three and :i half years, and this three and a half years constitutes my first term. The wise custom which limits the President to two terms regards the substance ant not the form, under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination."

CHAMBERLAIN'S CQUGH REMEDY

IS PLEASANT TO TAKE.

The tiiie>t quality of granulated loaf sugar is used in the manufacture of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and the roots used in its preparation give it a flavor similar to maple syrup, making it quite pleasant' to take. Mr. W. L. Rod- erick of Poolesville, Md., in speaking of this remedy, says: "I have used Cham- berlain's Cough Remedy with mv children for several years and can truthfully say it is the best preparation of the kind I know of. The children like to take it and it has no injurious after effect." For sale by all druggists. Lawrence; W, A. Allen, Andover; C. II. Shattuck, Ballardvale.

More Electoral Votes than

other President.

It appears from the returns that when the electoral college meets Pres- ident Roosevelt will have 343 votes In that body and Judge Parker will have 133.

According to these figures President Roosevelt will have a majority of 210 Is the largest majority any candidate lor the presidency has had In the electoral college, but the facta are that a number of Presidents have been further ahead of their opponents than President Roosevelt will be ahead of Judge Parker.

President Roosevelt will have in the electoral college mure votes than any ether candidate has ever had. but the number of his votes ia due in part to the Increaae in the size of the electoral college.

Several states have now more votes than thev had in 1900 and th* totr,'.agte in the college ia 29 more than Ultras four years ago. Most of these new votes are in states which were carried by President Roosevelt on Tuesday.

The proper method of determining the extent of Prealdent Rooaevelt's victory is to aee what percentage of the total vote of the electoral college he will have and then to compare that percentage with those of previous vears.

The following tables show that several Presidents have secured a larger percentage In the electoral college than President Roosevelt will have:

PROFIT The matter of feed is of

tremendous importance to the

farmer. Wrong feeding is

loss. Right feeding is profit.

The up-to-date farmer knows

what to feed his cows to get

the most milk, his pigs to get

the most pork, his hens to

get the most eggs. Science.

But how about the children ?

\re they fed according to

cience, a bone food if bones

•.re soft and undeveloped, a

iesh and muscle food if they

:re thin and weak and a blood

ood if there is anemia?

Scott's Emulsion is a mixed

ood; the Cod Liver Oil in it

rakes flesh, blood and muscle,

the Lime and Soda make bone

and brain. It is the standard

scientific food for delicate

children.

on a commercial basis is being tried by A. F. Gardner of Y a zoo City, Miss. The trees begin to bear in a year or two and at five years of age average sixty- five pounds of fruit to the tree.

Electricity Beats Steam. While the first electric locomotive

built for the New York Central was being tested, Nov. 1, on a four mile track west of Scbenectady, the New York Central limited came along on a parallel track, and something like a race followed. It is said that the electric engine, with eight coaches attached, attained a speed of fifty-five miles an hour and that the steam propelled train was left behind.

Oleo War Becomes National. The two national dairy organizations

—namely, the Buttermakers' association and the Dairy union—in a Joint session at St. Louis have promulgated an address to the farmers of the country approving the Pennsylvania plan for organizing the fight against the oleo trust to prevent the repeal of the oleo tax.

Boom In Iron Trade. The current week's issue of the Iron

Age says that reports from ail the con- suming centers during the past month indicate a scramble for pig iron. The demand appears to be limited only by the willingness of the furnace companies to fill orders. The improvement in prices is also noted in steel billets and sheet bars. The L. and N. has ordered 50,000 tons of rails from the Ten- nessee Coal and Iron company. *

Erie Absorbs New System. According to the Chicago Tribune,

the Erie railroad has taken over the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad, which recently absorbed the Pere Marquette, thus obtaining a direct line Of communication from Cincinnati to Canada. This deal is said to have been negotiated by J. P. Morgan & Co., in- volving an expenditure of $75,000,000. The new system extends over 5,000 miles of roads, covering territory from Chicago to Buffalo and Cincinnati.

Billions In Railroads. From advance sheets of the annual

number of Poor's Manual of Railroads It Is shown that the railway mileage of this country at the end of 1003 was 207,603. This was an increase of 4,595 miles over the preceding year. The cost of the entire railroad construction and equipment is estimated at $11,233,- 311,285. The capital stock and bonded debt together exceed $13,000,000,000. Gross earnings of the roads were $i,- 908,000.000 and net earnings $502,508,- 512. During the year 1,209,684,081 tons of freight and 696,949,925 passengers were carried.

worth of gold from New York to Paris

Sale of Ontario and Western. The BalejgjV a majority of the stock

of the Ontario and Western railroad to the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford Railroad company at $45 a share was officially confirmed.

One result of the deal contemplated la a reduction in the price of coal to New England manufacturers. The Ontario line will be double tracked at once from Pough- keepsie bridge to New Haven.

Labor.

Union Wants $250,000 Damages. An action to recover $250,000 for

damages alleged to have been Incurred through the lockouts in the building trades at New York city was begun by President George Kllnetop of the Brotherhood of Carpenters against President Eldlltz of the Building Trades Employers' association. The complaint avers that one of the means of increasing wages, reducing hours etc., is to strike—namely, "for the mem bers of the plaintiff in a body or bodies peacefully to abstain from work until their demands are adjusted." After referring to the agreement with the employers by which all strikes and lockouts were to be avoided pending arbitration of disputes the complaint says that the employers locked out the carpenters about Aug. 8 without cause while that agreement was in force. Furthermore it is charged that another organization of carpenters was formed and employed by the association. This suit is only preliminary to others against individual builders, and it was said that other trades would go to law similarly.

Fifty Thousand Illinois Miners Idle. A large part of the coal mines con-

trolled by the Illinois Coal Operators' association were closed Oct. 31 on account of a strike by the hoisting engineers. A few days later the miners made terms with the operators by Ig-» norhig the engineers' uulon. Thereup- on work was resumed.

Anthracite Miners Strike. About 000 miners employed by the

Lehlgh Coal and Navigation company at Tarn aqua, Pa., voted, Nov. 2, to go on strike because the company had refused to reinstate certain men suspended for disobedience of orders in falling to work on Mitchell day.

Collapse of Vesuvius Crater. ^ The cone on the orater of Mount Ve»

suvlus, Italy, which formed during the recent eruption, fell into the volcano Nov. 1, causing a tremendous roar and the emission of a great pall of black smoke and a shower "of ashes extending over the country within a radius of twenty-five miles. The disturbance lasted, however, but a short time.

Boll Weevil Gaining Ground. Professor Oswald Wilson of the de-

partment of agriculture, who for a year has been stationed in Texas to study the boll weevil, says experience shows that the pest has come to stay and will spread until It covers every part of the cotton raising district. Dur- ing the past year it has gone 100 miles into Louisiana, and the crop pest commission of that state has taken down its quarantine against Texas.

Vaccination Under Red Light Paris hospitals have been testing

with good results the recent discovery made by Dr. Goldman that vaccination performed under a red light leaves no scar and causes less pain. The patient is taken into a room where the only light Is furnished by an incandescent lamp with a red globe. The dressing of the wound is covered with a red cloth.

Get the Most Out of Your Food

You don't ami can't if your stomach is weak. A weak stomach does not digest all that is ordinarily taken into it. It gets tired easily, and what it fails to digest is wasted.

Among the signs of a weak stomach are uneasiness after enting, tits of nervous headache, and disagreeable belch- ing.

"I have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla at different times for stomach troubles, and a run down condition of the system, and have been greatly benefited by Us use. I would not be without It In my family. I am troubled especially in summer with weak stomach and nausea and find Hood's Sarsaparllla Invaluable." K. B.HICKMAH, W.Chester, Pa.

Russians* Last Stand at Port Arthur Terrible beyond imagination was the spectacle disclosed to the civi-

lized world when on Nov. 3, the birthday of tbe Japanese emperor, the Tokyo censor lifted the veil from the siege of Port Arthur. For six days the besieging army of General Nogi had been engaged in Its third general assault on the great fortress. Thousands of the Japanese lay dead or writhing In agony on the steep slopes of tbe fort crowned hills to tbe east while their comrades drove tbe equally brave but exhausted

Jj Russian garrisons back intn'Vhe tnfemo of the city which lay helpless under a murderous artillery fire, all but one of the Russian warships

having l>een destroyed. General Stoessel was reported Injured, and tbe garrison was said to have retired to the defenses on Golden hill and the Tiger's Tail, to tbe south, preparatory to making their last stand costly to the ensmy.

The grent Russian and Japanese armies In Manchuria were standing face to face along Sha river with the almost hourly, expectation of another great battle. General Kuropatkin has been placed in supreme command. Admiral Alexeleff being recalled to be governor of Moscow.

Both Russia and Japan have raised new war loans, and the fall of Port Arthur was not expected to show any sign of the war's ending. The Russian Baltic fleet finally got away from Vigo, Spain, and started on Its Journey eastward through

the Mediterranean. The Japanese say they are prepared to meet this fleet and to destroy it

A Russian writes from Port Arthur: "We have not a single bottle of anaesthetic left. Just think what agony tjie wounded must endure. The food Is of the coarsest, and even that is becoming scarce, while disease Is rife and sanitary conditions are deplorable, but we are all determined to hold out, come what will, in the hope of relief."

The selectmen have received a reply to their communication to the state highway commissioners in regard to the proposed state highway from Low- til to Lawrence, running through Dra- cut and Methuen. The board give the Helectmen to understand that they are

.satisfied with the condition of things In Dracut, but that they will do nothing in regard to accepting the highway in that town until Methuen shalj petition to have streets thrdugh methuen accepted by the commissioners, thus connecting the state highway In Lowell with that In Lawrence. The commissioners did hot „ state whether fEcjr would accept as a highway North Low- ell street to Lowell street, where the macadam road put In by Methuen begins. If they would do that, the selectmen would probably send in a petition, but they do not believe the town would be willing to turn over that portion of Lowell and Orchard streets that nas been macadamized at the town's expense to the state. It Is probable that the selectmen will soon communlcata with the commissioners again In the matter.

GADUOL, The United States dispensatory thinks

it probable that the real virtues of cod- liver oil reside in an active principle or principles. f.aduol is the alcoholic ex- tract of the active principles of cod-liver oil. It produces a stimulant and alterative effect on the processes of nutrition and absorption, it <. »es not disturb the appetite or affect the stomach. A wine of cod-liver oil prepared from Gaduol is a favorite tonic and has a large sale wherever introduced.

The Cod Wine advertised in another column meets'i lie above requirements. It is for sale by Albert W. I^owe, druggist.

HENS KILLED.

Reports from the eastern part of Methuen indicate that there Is a dog In that locality which has a liking 1'or poultry and which the residents of that section would like to be rid of. So mo days ago George Bradley reported a loss of seven hens, evidently killed by a dog, and Monday night George L.

Cross of Merrimack street had 28 hens killed, evidently by a dog. The matter has been reported to the selectmen, and damages will be sought from the county, as the county is supposed to reimburse for all damages done by dogs.

The services of the Mandolin and Banjo club*: of Phlllips^academy, Ando- ver, have been secured by the O. E. A. Tennis club for their entertainment In the Memorial hall on Friday evening, Nov. 26.

Mr. A rt hur Chapman writ)rig from Durban, Natal, South Africa, says: "As a proof that Chamberlain's Cough Rem- edy IN a cure suitable for old and young, I pen yon the following: A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not snow what to give It. I suggested that If they would get a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and put some upon the dummy teat the baby was sucking it would no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby." This remedy is foi sale by all druggists. Law. rence; W. A. Allen, Andover; C. H. Sbsttuck, Baliardvale.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1904

Election in Andover.

There are many interesting side lights to the election in Andover. In the first place, there was polled the largest vote ever east. Out of a total of |1836* registered voters there were 1149 who came to the polls, and most of them voted for at least one name on the ballot. The same quiet that pre- vailed all through the campaign continued to the end, almost no excitement marking the work around the polling places. The full vote verified the belief that the voters' minds were made up, and they did not need any brass bands for guides.

In the second place, for the voters of precinct one there were entirely new surrounding* for their voting. The lower hall was used for the flrfet time, and taken all together the result of the experiment seemed to be quite satisfactory. There was some criticism of the light in the booths that was apparently well merited, but aside from that the approval was very general. The question of light is one that can be easily remedied, and thus one of the greatest obstacles to the Australian ballot in town elections seems to be removed.

The poor light in the booths opens up a third interesting phase of an interesting election, that of blank ballots. AVhat should cause so many blank ballots? Not even the President escaiied, and for most of the other offices the number of blanks ran up over the hundred mark. No election before has ever shown such a disregard of many of the important offices in Ando- ver, as did that of Tuesday. Sixty-five failed to vote for President, 80 for governor, 111 for congressman, 130 for senator, and for some other offices where there were contests, over 200 blanks were thrown. It is understood that several ballots were cast with no marks whatever. And all this in en- lightened Aiulpv$r and apparently among the republicans.

We cannot refrain from assigning this condition of things in a great measure to the many'voters who had not seen an Australian ballot for four years. From close examination of the list considerably over a hundred voters had not been to the polls since 1000, and it is not surprising that the somewhat dark booths and large ballots should help to make them a bit con- fused. A little more practice, say at least once a year, could not fail to have very beneficial results in lessening the "blanks" at the next presidential election.

So far as the general result is concerned, Andover took its place with the great part of the nation. " Alick" Bruce was remembered by some of his old friends and present business associates as was expected, but the rest of the democratic ticket had its normal support. This is, of course, excepting the vote for governor, which was like that in the rest of the itate, a strong swing to Douglas. Now' that over 1100 of our voters have reached the polls once, it will be an excellent plan for them to keep coming. The 101(4 election has above all else pointed the way to a full vote. Let's keep it up.

Editorial Cinders.

There is >*widespread expression of sympathy Joy Mr. John It. Jenkins and family in their recent bereavement, through the death of their son in the West. No one could l>e a better ex- ample of the courageous cheerful man than is this honored Andover citizen, who always has a bright smile and a strong hand grasp, whatever the ad- verse conditions.

No one has to do with the Town house without feeling a great deal of satisfaction over the excellent care taken of the remodelled building. And all the praise is well due to Janitor Saiinders. The building is a model of neatness and comfort, and a credit not only to the town which provided it. but to the interested custodian of it.

If the poor man who is standing out in the Square " counting folks" to see if the Street Railway company needs a waiting room, is obliged to stay out in the cold much longer, he'll become a frozen monument to the chilly blasts of Elm Square, and to the very urgent need that exists for a little shelter.

Several citizens attended the moth convention at Arlington last Saturday, ami came back filled with not only new knowledge upon the subject, but new enthusiasm for the work of applying the knowledge. All along the line the watchword is, " Preserve the trees", and Andover's part in this work is no inconsiderable one.

FAIR PRIZE WINNERS Second Night of the Grange Fair Largely

Attended. Results of the Various Conteata.

Last Friday evening the closing night of the annual Grange fair was held in the Grange hall in West Parish with a much larger attendance than on tbe preceding night. The weather was perfect for the fair and this fact caused many to come out. Those who went from down town bn both nights were conveyed to and from the hall in Ammon Richard? son's barge, good loads being taken on each evening.

The hall presented a very pretty appearance with its decorations of crepe paper and bunting, interwoven with much greenery. On the right down stairs was the check room in charge of James Grosvenor. Charles Bailey and James N. Putnam had charge of the tickets.

Most of the tables were situated in the upper hall and were handsomely decorated with colored bunting and evergreen. The tables were well ladened with fruit, vegetables, candy, fancy work, preserves, cake, etc., and every one of them was well patronized.

Down stairs tbe supper tables received considerable attention, many enjoying the fine turkey supper prepared by the ladies of the Grange. The (.rangers are justly famous for their suppers and they kept up their reputation this year. The efficient committee in charge of this department were Samuel H. Bailey, Mr, and Mrs. John Maddox, Mrs. Morrison, Mr. and Mrs. William Clark and Frank Foster.

On Thursday evening an entertainment was given by fourteen little picaninnies. On Friday nigtit Newton's orchestra furnished the concert rendering several selections during tb<l evening.

About half past nine B. Frank Smith closed all the guessing contests and tbe prizes were awarded to the following lucky ones: Beans in bottle, 867, nearest guess WW, Fred E. Hersom, prize plaque; number drawn from box, 110, Miss Minnie M. Hardy, prize tray; seeds in squash, 305, nearest guess, 307, Miss Clara A. Putnam, prize, picture; seeds in pumpkin, 886, nearest guess, 338, Miss L. W. Emerson, prize, quilt; seeds in squash, 277, nearest guess 283, W. F. Huu t well, prize, picture; seeds in squash, (153, nearest guess, 425, Miss Clara Put- nam, prize, barrel of apples; seeds in squash, 71*2, nearest guess, 750, Mrs. Charles Jameson, prize, vegetable table; weight of stone, 12 pounds. 14 and 3-4 ounces, nearest guess, 13 pounds, 1 ounce, Miss Madeline Hughes, prize, sofa pillow ; seeds in citrdtt, 262, nearest guess, 287, John Maddox, prize, horse blanket; seeds in pumpkin, 553, nearest guess 533, Joseph T. Lovejoy, prize, carving set; weight of cake, i> pouuds, 11 ounces, nearest guess, it pounds, 10 ounces, Chester Whitten.

After the prizes haul been announced Mr. Smith as auctioneer soon disposed of all the perishable articles at prices to suit all. A good sum was realized by the auction.

Altogether the fair was up to tbe high standard set by the Grangers, and a good round sum was the reward for their work. A dance on Monday night in connection with the fair was most enjoyable. It was in. charge of Clarence Mooar.

Abbot Academy Notes.

On the 19th of November, Saturday afternoon, at half past two o'clock, in Abbot halt, the Hon. Chester Holcombe comes to lecture in the Abbot Academy course, on the "Ethics of tbe Japanese- Russian Conflict" or "Which is Right, Japan or Russia?" Mr. Holcombe was the United States Minister in China, and has written and lectured a great deal upon China and its relations to other countries. He was a member of the commission to negotiate treaties between the United States and China, was a friend of Li Hung Chang, and of Gen. Grant, whom he accompanied through China on his tour of the world, and is a director of the American Board of For- eign Missions. He has passed the greater part of his life in China, and is supposed to be the best foreign speaker of the Chinese language. It is doubtful whether there is anyone more intimately acquainted with the questions about which he speaks than Mr. Holcombe. The lecture will be open to the friends of Abbot academy at $.35 a ticket.

On the 0th of December, we have the pleasure to announce that Mr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama, will speak to the Abbot Academy students on the "Race Problems and the work at Tuskegee." It is unnecessary, of course, to say anything about a man so distinguished as Mr. Washington. All thoughtful citizens are exceedingly interested in his work. This is only a preliminary announcement of bis lecture on the evening mentioned at a quarter of eight o'clock. The place is not quite decided upon; and will be announced later.

Public School Notes-

Entertainment at Grange.

On Tuesday evening at the Andover Grange the local Patrons of Husbandry were eutertained by the Grangers from Methuen and West Boxford. The hall was filled to overflowing with an interested audience who listened to a very laughable drama given by the visitors.

The first, entitled "An Old Maid's Wooing," was presented by the Methuen Grange and during the entire play the audience was kept in continuous laughter. Several jokes hitting local people made much merriment and the large amount of good natured fun made the evening pass away very quickly.

Obituary-

BENJAMIN JENKINS.

Benjamin, youngest son of John B. and Ellen H. jenkins^was born at the old homestead in Andover, Dec. 21, 186V); his death occurred at St. Louis. Mo., Novem- ber 3, 1904. / *

He was a scholar of unusual merit and after leaving the district school, graduated from the Punchardhigh school with honors, at the age of sixteen.

Ben, as he was familiarly called, was fearless and self-protecting when a boy, and bravely left home at an early age to make his own way in life. He returned occasionally to look upon the dear faces of his family, bringing with him his lite record, a fine physique and an assuring countenance. His genial nature had won him many valuable friends whose fidelity has been evident during his illness of three months.

He was an exceptional business manager, tactful and trustworthy. May the family sorrow be palliated by the thought that the injury which resulted in their great sorrow, was received through faithfulness to duty and ad- herence to order, Heaven'B first law.

Thursday evening, Nov. 17th, Mr. W. K. Moorehead will lecture before memT

LAWRENCE MARKET g%& I

Tuesday was an ideal day for the

nations', election as well as a brilliant

Roosevelt day. This latter fact was

clearly shown by the Vote in Andover as

well as in most of the country. In

Andover the largest vole in the history

of the town was polleo, 9tl3 ballots out

of a total of 1129 being cast.

The polls opened at six o'clock sharp

in the lower town hall and the warden,

George A. Higgius, read the warrant.

A few minutes after six Sheriff George

S. Cole deposited the initial ballot. At

half past six 70 ballots had been cast, an

average of two and one half a minute.

During the morning the voting was

very heavy and at 12 o'clock 630 ballots

bad been cast. From twelve to one was

the busiest portion of the uay 150 votes

being polled. From one o'clock until the polls closed

at 4.30 less than 200 more men registered their choice.

At that time it was voted that the polls be closed and all the election officers set to work counting the ballots. The ballot was much larger this year than in previous years and there was ar. unusually large number of split ballots, making the counting slow and difficult.

At 0.30 a luucb was served the counters by Caterer F. P. Higgins and the work was rebiimed. At 8.30 the outcome was announced to a large gathering i a the hall.

The election officials were as follows: Freciuct 1, George A. Higgins, warden; Frank H. Hardy, deputy warden ; Daniel J. Moynihan, clerk; Daniel A. Collins, deputy clerk; Louis A. Dane, inspector; William J. Doherty, inspector; Timothy Wahoney, deputy inspector; J. Frank Morse, deputy inspector.

In precinct 2 nearly the full compli- ment of votes were polled and was done at an early hour. At five o'clock the counting had been finished and the result was announced.

The election officers jn this precinct were as follows: Howell F. Wilson, warden; Clester E. Matthews, deputy warden; Overt F. Caffrey, cletk; Michael J. Flaherty, deputy clerk; Willis B. flodgkins, inspector; Nathan E. Mears, inspector, John S. Dearborn, deputy inspector; Martin McKeon, deputy inspector.

The whohs town kept up its reputation of being a straight Republican commun* ity, the full Republican ticket winning, although in the vote for governor, the majority was severely cut over previous years.

In the Presidential vote President Roosevelt received a handsome endorse- ment winning over. Parker with a majority of 490 votes.

In the Congressional and Senatorial contests whicb were conceded to be very close, Ames and Castle, both Republi- cans, won with handy margins over Bruce and Flynn, the Democratic candidates with 254 and 350 pluralities, respectively. There was an unusually large number of blanks which kept the majorities for Ames and Castle lower than was expected.

This is one of the best localities in New England for the study of certain types of glacial deposits. Every Thursday afternoon, weather permitting, there is an excursion to some point' of interest in town. These'excursions are required of all pupils taking physical geography; and, from this time on, any pupil in school may go with the claw. The trips will be of interest to those who have studied geology or physical geography in previous years. ■ ,

Miss Carret. supervisor of physical culture, has a class for Punchard girls the first period Tuesdays. The work is done in ths upstairs hall. All girls who have no recitation this period may join the class. At present about forty girls are taking this w^rjf.

Beginning next week the class in elementary physics will meet the last period Friday instead of the first period Tuesday. On the other days the class will meet as usual the first period. The change is made in order that the girls of the class may take the gymnastic work with Miss Carret.

Next Monday evening Mr. Low will give a talk on chemistry, with experiments, before the Young Men's club of the Free church. Pupils in chemistry and other Punchard pupils interested are invited.

All text books used this year are to be covered as an aid to keeping them in good condition. Books are examined by the teacher at least'twice a term. All books defaced or torn must be paid for by the pupil.

EDUCATIONAL

Status of Our Public Schools. Twenty per cent of this country's

population, or 10,900.361 pupils, attended the public schools during the last fiscal year, according to the report of United States Commissioner of Educa-

tlon William T. Harris, which has just been made public. This shows a slight decrease in percentage. The total cost of our public school system Is $251,457,625, an increase of $16,000.-

W. T. Harris. O*** over tne prevl- 4» ous year. Each pu-

pil's tuition li $3.15. Since 1870 the proportion of men teachers has decreased from 39 per cent of the entire number to 26 per cent last year. Tbe average compensation for men teachers last year was $49.98 and that for women $40.51. By the addition of pupils in elementary schools, academies. Institu- tions for higher education, evening schools, business schools, private kin- dergartens, Indian schools, state schools and schools for defectives and orphans the grand total of 18,187.918 pupils is reached.

Great Gymnasium For Women. The important part of Columbia uni-

versity's sesquicentenntal celebration was the laying of the cornerstones of four new buildings and the dedication of one new building. The completed building Is the $400,000 gymnasium for women. America is the first country to have such a building devoted exclusively to the physical education of women. The object is twofold—first, to provide for the education of teachers of physical culture, and, second, to provide a suitable place for the physical training of the student** of the Teach- ers' college and the Horace Mann school. The opportunities of the new gymnasium are fo be opened to all women who may desire them.

A Sensational Campaign Wind-up Popular suffrage wins! That was the one absolutely safe bet on

the eve of Tuesday's presidential election, when this record went to press. The American people as a whole rested in the happy certainty that the mandate of the majority would be obeyed without question, however earnest might be the convictions or bitter the persona) feeling of the opposing partisans.

Bitter Indeed was the last week of tbe campaign, which began with soft words and mutual congratulations on the high personal character of the candidates. When Judge Parker leaped from his porch at Rose- mount into the glare and blare of a "whirlwind finish" on the stump, the very magnetism of the vast cheering audiences he faced at New York, at Newark and in Connecticut towns appeared to rouse him to a new sense of tbe value of the Cortelyou charges as a political weapon. Again and again he drove home bis charge of a Republican league with trusts In the collection of corruption funds, based on the selection of Mr. Cor- telyou as the president's campaign manager.

President Roosevelt, unwilling that "the silence of self respect" should be misunderstood, gave to the press, Nov. 5. a fiercely in- dignant denunciation of these charges as "monstrous" and "wicked" falsehoods. Assuming that the fact of campaign contributions on either side was not the issue, be referred to his campaign record on the trusts and labor and explicitly entered denial that any promises of immunity had been made to Influence corporations. He would. If elected, "see to it that every man has a square dea 1, no less and no more." This statement was re-enforced by the denials of Root, Ixxlge, Knox and other Republican orators on the stump, alt of whom referred to the charges as slanderous.

Judge Parker returned to the attack In a speech in New York, laying stress on the fact of Mr. Corteiyou's former official position as trust Inquisitor, and left this and all other Issues with the people for Judg- ment. It w*s virtually a race of the opposing parties to see wblch could get in the last word.

' FOOTBALL ROOSEVELT ON LABOR UNIONS.

ANDOVER 36; LAWRENCEVILLE 0.

Lawrencev.U academy was defeated, 36 to 0, and completely outclassed by Phillips Andover In the championship football game at Lawrenceville Satur- day. Superior weight and exceedingly fast play were the main features in Andover's victory.

From end to end, Andover found holes In the line of the Jersey boy*, and their attacks were Irresistible. Captain Thompson, besides carrying the ball successfully, was very strong on the defence.

Bullock did some excellent work for Andover, in making sensational end runs. Only once did Lawrenceville threaten Andover's goal. McKalg broke away for a 60-yard run, but he was downed by Bullock. Lawrenceville had Andover on the de-

fensive for a short time, the last of ihe first half, but during the greater part of the game the New Jersey team WOT completely outclassed.

The Lawrenceville team was extremely light and was not so strong is the 1903 eleven.

It will be seen, then, that President Roosevelt has expressed his thorough- going belief In labor organisations, and that he has acted upon many measures looking to the improvement o' the conditions of worklngmen. On the other hand, all his messages and addresses point to a very clear recogni- tion of the limitations of trades-unionism. First, his speeches bristle with declarations that labor unions must obey the law. Obedience to law is the keynote of a large proportion of the President's utterances.

Not only has President Roosevelt spoken against lawlessness among labor unions, but he has not hesitated to act. In 1903. during the miners' strikes in Arizona, at the request of the terri- torial authorities, he ordered out the federal troops to stop mob rioting and kept them in service until peace wa« restored.

But he tins seen a still more important limitation to the operations of trades-unionism. While recognizing sharply their right to strike, their rignt to better themselves In every utwnil way, he also recognizes that they must not press those rights to the point of "brutal indifference to the rights rf others" that the public is injured. Here lies the essence of the difference between Judge Parker's vlws and Pres. Roosevelt's views. Both candidates perceive clearly the vital importance of the fundamental principles of unionism: President Roosevelt also recognizes their limitations. President Roosevelt recognizes that the rights of trades-unions must be curtailed at the point where they Interfere with the superior rights of the public. By his decision Judge Parker allows the union to press its right of striking—and it 1« an undeniable right—until non-union or rival union men are driven completely out of existence, with the possibility of a resulting labor monopoly which arbitrarily raises wages and mulcts the public—as the labor monopoly has done in New York.

Andover and Lawrence EXPRESS.


4-nwrn Owwtom. W Fi* Street, UWMM

9moi pta fl. W KAMMM ■«" BBBJk*

Xext Saturday afternoon at Andover New England's greatest preparatory school rivals, Andover and Exeter,

\\ 111 face each other in their annual name. Both usually have strong teams, mid this year they seem more evenly matched than ever.

Exeter already has beaten two Maine college teams, Bowdoin and Bates, de- cisively, and both teams have scored signal victories over the Harvard freshmen, Harvard scrub and New Hampshire state college teams. And. besides. Andover has won a victory over the Yale '07 class team, and Sat- urday overwhelmed Lawrenceville on the latter's grounds.

The showing of the teams all through the year has been such as to give the game unusual importance among th ■ contests of the season and there promises to be one of the largesi crowds present that ever attended the game.

An unusual feature of this year's game will lie to see the captains of the two teams facing each other in the line MaeFayden, Exeter' leader, Is a veteran, and so is Thompson, the man who will cautain the Andover team. Both are slants, and both have ag-* and experience to back them up.

Donald MacKenzie. MaeFayden 'IW of Exeter, of South Boston, is playing left guard for his third season, and la a pillar of strength In the line.

Born in Nova Scotia Jan. 25, 1877, practically his entire life has be-n spent in Boston, whence with the strongest of recommendations from the Young Mert's Christian association he came to Exeter in the fall of 190.' Before coming to Exeter he lived In South Boston, where he worked in th" heavy machinery department of a large local shipyard.

Nearly 6 feet tall, weighing 226 pounds, without a pound of superfluous flesh, and of strength commensurate with his weight, he at once commended himself as a promising candidate for the Exeter eleven, which he easily made, despite an utter ignorance of the game. He has steadily gained In playing ability.

Capt.- MacFavden is a warm friend of Capt."Thompson of Andover, and they were opposing guards a year ago, the advantage being with MaeFayden, as Thompson freely admitted after the game. As captain, MaeFayden hiii the fullest confidence of the team and the school, which has no more popular member. The captaincy has in no wise detracted from his individual play.

Capt. E. J. Thompson of the Phil- lips Andover team Is the heaviest man on the eleven, weighing 220 pounds. He stands 6 feet 1 inch and looks almost like a giant in comparison with the other linemen.

Thompson's defensive wor,k is particularly strong, and he is so artiv, despite his weight, that he is a very hard man for an opponent'to handle. He usually has the opposing lineman at a disadvantage because of hi* weight and bight. Andover's attack i« directed mainly through his side of the line because of Thompson's ability to open holes.

CLOSING GUNS OF THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.

One of the most enthusiastic Repub- lican rallies ever held in this city took place at city hall Saturday evening. Every seat in tne hall was occupied and hundreds were standing. Many ladies occupied seats in the galleries.

United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Congressman Charles H. Lit- tlefleld of Maine and Congressman Butler Ames of Lowell were the speakers, and all were enthusiastically received.

Snator Lodge was the first speaker and he was given such an-ovation th-it it was some time before he could begin his speech. He made one of the most effective campaign speeches ever deliv- eied In Lawrence. He used no extrav- agant language and abandoned entirely the common practice of the spell- binder of resorting to flowery but often meaningless language to make an im- pression. He presented a calm, polished, convincing argument, occasionally ridiculing but never abusing his opponents, and held his auditors' interest for over an hour, being frequently interrupted by outbursts of appldus-?. At the close of his addreHS the ovation T.e received whenD presented was renewed .

Congressman Ames followed Senator Lodge and. was given a rousing cheer. Congressman LitUefleld was the last speaker, and the warmth of his reception showed that his eloquent tfddresa delivered here two years ago had not been forgotten.

The speakers reached Lawrence at 6 tf. m. and \4er# escorted to the Frank- lin house bV ex-Senator Archie N. FrosU Postmaster Byron Truell an«I ex-AldermanWjced H. Eaton. Supper was served trrere and a brief reception was held to Invited guests.

Just before 8 o'clock a procession was formed on Broadway and the speakers were escorted to the hall by the local Republican campaign clubs, headed by the Lawrence Brass band. A public reception was held In the common council chamber.

The rally was opened soon after 8 o'clock by Chairman Frost of the Re- publican city committee.

Among those seated on the platform besides the speakers were: Represen- tative Edwin J. Castle, George E. Kun- hardt. C. O. Andrews, John H. Spin- low. David Bailey, John D. Dickie, ex- «enator Charles F. Sargent, Byron Truell. F. H. Eaton, N. E. Rankln, Joseph Donovan. Wll.iam M. Stuart, Dr. C. Q. Carleton. N. O. Magoon, R. F. McCrillls, Lewis H. Schwartz, Otto Kress. F. E. Twiss. Clinton P. Vose. Charles H. Salisbury, Alderman Moses Marshall. Col. Melvin Real, William H. Russell, Charles H. Llttlefleld. Hug i Bell. Henry B. Lane. M. D. Currier.

QUESTION OF PROVINCIALISM.

A Senator of Missouri tells of the re ply made by ;t Kansas City man, who was visiting in New York city, to a man disposed to patronize the West- erner. Raid the latter:

"We visited Missouri. It's a flrir- State. and I like the people. There's only one fault in the inhabitants, ard that is they are too provincial.

At this trie Missouri man became ar- gry.

"Let me tell you one thing." he shouted. "Missourlans may be provincial in some things, but In one at least they're far less provincial than the people of New York.."

"Indeed','" queried the New Yorkei provokingly. "And In what respect, pray?"

"In this respect sir," responded thr Missouri man. "No one In New York knows much about Missouri but every one in Missouri knows all about New York. —Philadelphia Ledger.

The moth has come upon us In su< 1. great numbers this last year that It Is a matter of urgent interest tn farmer and business man alike to become ar qua in ted with the pest and to know how best to go about the work of ex- termination. With this object in view the board of selectmen have united with the Improvement society in making arrangements to have Prof. Kirk- laud come and give his illustrated lecture for the henpflt of all those who wish to attend.

ARTHUR BLISS. P. M.

This held season the Bureau of Forestry will complete certain studies of important commercial trees in the South. The species under investigation are yellow poplar, white, red, black, and chestnot oak, chestnut, white piue, and hemlock. A great mass of data has been collected as a basis for tables showing the proportion of tlieBe species in various types of the Appalachian forest, the volume of merchantable timber, and the rate of growth of the several species. This season trained men of the Bureau will pay special attention to the silvi- cultural characteristics and the commercial possibilities of these trees. They will also apply the information collected by the Bureau in the last two years, embodying it in practical suggestions for conservative forest management by timberland owners of the South.

The aim of a commercial tree study is to secure the information necessary for the successful application of forestry where the tree forms an important part of the forest crop. It involves, arnoug other things, knowledge of its methods of reproduction, that it may continue to form a part, and very likely a larger part, of the forest, instead of being re- laced, w hen lumbered, by less available trees; of its rate of growth, on which depends the calculation of future returns; of the conditions of light, soil, moisture, etc., under which it flourishes best; of ts ability to compete with the various

other species with which it is associated in the various types of forest in which it occurs, and what management can do to improve conditions tor it; of when it will pay to plan for it as part of a permanent timber-producing forest, and of how it ought to be lumbered to secure the largest present and future returns. In the light of the knowledge which such studies furnish, the forester is in a position to make an intelligent working plan for tracts in which the trees studied form, or can be made to form, a valuable part of the stand of timber. In 11 at case lumbering does not mean ruining the forest, denuding the ground and leaving it barren or to grow up in worth- less blush, but a regular timber output, while the forest constantly improves in character and the value of its growth.

Acting under its geueral cooperative offer, the Bureau of Forestry is now preparing detailed working plans for several tracts of timber belonging to private owners in the States of West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Three of the problems of management presented may be briefly indicated. In Kentucky the owner of a 40,000 acre tract wishes to retain a large part of the property 111 forest for continuous production of railroad ties. In West Virginia a 80,000 acre tract, the property of a mining company, must be made to maintain a permanent supply of timbers for use in the mines. In the same State another working plan for 5,000 acres of timberland aims to secure a steady income from the sale of the timber grown.

The problems of management presented the Bureau differ with changing forest conditions and with the various purposes of the owners. The Bureau field force examines the forest and counts and measures the trees to determine the stand of each species, the rate of growth, and both present and prospective yield in board feet. Having this information, and knowing fche habits of growth of the different species, the Bureau is then in position to give definite advice as to the properVourse to pursue to attain by management any >pecified end. . 0

This branch of the Bureau's work is of importance not only to the owners of large timber tracts, but as well to those whose holding's, consist of merely 50 or 100 acres. The purpose df the Bureau is not to benefit any particular owner or set of owners, but to encourage and establish conservative forestry everywhere for the general good of the nation. Individuals derive direct benefits from this work, but the knowledge and experience thus gained by the Bureau are for application to whole sections and contribute to the scientific knowledge and practice of forestry.

There are now li.S experts concluding the commercial tree studies under way in the four States above mentioned. While these agents of the Bureau are on the ground, owners of timberlands or small woottlots in those States should seize the opportunity, so conveniently at hand, for obtaining a preliminary examination of their holdings. This will be doneby the Bureau entirely without cost to them, and would certainly prove highlv beneficial to their interests. The Bureau is glad to receive applications for such examiuat ions.

It was all very plain, very simple, very dignified—a plainness, u simpli- city and a dignity typical of the char acter of Gilbert E. Hood and the life he had lived.

The cuthedrul-like appearance of Trinity church, its massive propot- tiohs, stained windows and alt oak wulnHcottlng, lent solemnity to the proceedings. The gathering of relatives, of friends, of business associates of acquaintances, added In its way to the tribute which the living paid to the dead in the passing of Mr. Hool.

Rev. Frederick Harlan Page led the procession up the center aisle, reciting the comforting words of the: Sa- viour, "I am the * resurrection ani the life," preceding the six bearers. Then followed the casket and immediately behind the relatives. Seats reserved on the center aisle were filled by these. Almost every seat in toe church was occupied.

The service began shortly after 2 o'clock. The body In its ebon shroud, the latter with Its garniture of costly flowers, occupied the space in front of th s pulpit. On each chandelier of the organ screen rested a large cros*.

Rev. Mr. Page read selections, followed by prayer. Then the congregation repeated after him "The JLord's Prayer." A quartet composed of Miss Sadie Peckover and Miss Margaret Wither, Dr. Partridge and Mr. Ewart. rendered "He I er.deth a'e." "The Apostles" creed followed, pastor and people reciting in unison.

The scripture lesson was frc.m St. Paul's Inspired words. Cardinal New* man's cry from a disturbed soul, "Lead, Kindly Light," was beautifully sung by the quartet.

The eulogy pronounced by Reverend Frederick Harlan Page was as follows:

"The life of Gilbert Edwin Hot d has been lived amongst us so fully and EO openly, and has abounded so generously to the welfare of all our people that It seems fitting to utter some simple words In public tribute, before our service ceases and his associates bear him from our sight to the silent city on the hill.

Such words as I would speak are only those which come naturally to a!l our lips since the announcement of his death, and which have been uttered In cur homes and streets and places of business, by people In all walks it life. For half a century he has gone In and out amongst his fellow citizens of Lawrence, during which time his life has been an open book, known and read by all men. He has been notah'.t; In all these years as one of the me:i who founded the Institutions of this r.ew city and stamped Us character. We commonly speak of Lawrence is having been built up by the development of the great power which nature afforded her In the Merrimack, but we are not unmindful that the greater power has been the men whom the stir of enterprise attracted from all over New England and from across the sea. These men by their energy virility and Integrity have created our city. They came together a throng if pioneers. They instituted all the gre-it organizations essential to business, charitable and religious welfare and kept step with the progress of the older cities about us. In this extra- ordinary achievement few have don*; so much, perhaps no one has done more, as he whose work is now atVn end. Others have been at times more prominent, but his great service, whether in the more public or more private ways has continued without \ break. He has ever been a consistent man.

Coming here as a lawyer he was nt once influential in his profession. An associate justice of the Municln-il Court and the first register of deeds In this northern Essex district. Call- ed out of his profession to be Superin- tendent of the public schools he laid the foundations In this department at a time 'when the city was increasing by leaps and bounds, and when many of the great school buildings wer» erected, among them the old hlerh school. Thr late James H, Eaton was principal of the Oliver school (n the beginning of Mr. Hood's superintend- ency, and from these early days they both served the city with rare ampli- tude of powers—each according to his gifts.

The time rame nearly W years ag-"» now. when one of the banks of our

city needed above all other resource the supreme asset of a man—a mn.n

who should command the confidence of all the people, rich a-nd-poor. whr>s> ability, wisdom and fidelity meant [ i itself security and success. The trustees found such a man in Mr. Hood, and they took him from the serin rs to the bank. How well he met the 1"- mauds of the position many of yo-i know. What he did for The Broadwsj Swings hank in his management, and what he was to it in his character, constitutes one of the finest episodes In the business annals of our city. T* is dramatic, indeed, that the very hour of last Saturday afternoon when the new bank building was opened should he the hour of his death, and that when the public came to mark the great step in the progress of the institution, and

see what the builders had wrought, they should find the emnlem of mourn- ing upon the door.

We all know men whose strength if life has gone out in a single direction that so they might serve their generation best. But with our friend ther^ was so rich a nature and sympathies so widespread that he could ser'-e wherever men were needed. And th'.n it happens that one finds this homr- able name whenever the records of our city's foundations are read. He was a promoter with the late Sheriff Her rick of the Industrial school and fos- tered it for years. The Young Men's Christian association looked to him for leadership at a critical time In its a- reer, and he remained at Its head until Its foundations were deeply and broadly established. For a long period

he was president of the City Mission, only relinquishing the burden two or three years ago. His last day's work might be said to have been spent In behalf of the Aged People's home tf its annual meeting a fortnight since.

He did not seek political office ani his service was devoted almost exclusively to the city which he has helped to build—yet not all his service wa< rendered here. Not many know—for his modest lips never proclaimed it— that he has been for years active in one of the foremost organizations in New Kngland for the moral and r*»

lielous relief of decadent towns in our commonwealth and for the assimila- tion of the foreign hosts into our spiritual life. This he has done through the Massachusetts Home Missionary society as director, and of late yea.** the chairman of its board. It is a fine thing, is it not. that one who stood

forth as such a typical representative of our old New Kngland stock shoul 1 also be among the foremost to heir meet the pressing problems of new

New Kngland? Wherever a strong man was needed

those sought him who knew him. Sa- gacity was In his blood, responsibility was his gift, and fidelity was in every fibre of has life.

In his social life courtesy and gen- iality were the ornaments of his cnar- actei. now greatly he will be missed in his home and by his kindred un'iy bis own may say, but we who hav J known him well can deeply sympathize In that intimate circle of chosen associates, of which he was the oldest and last surviving original member, his memory will always be treasured fur all that he was as a friend among friends, most brotherly and most klnu.

It remains only to speak a word of his religious life, and to say it last be- Cause it is of chief importance. To all the spheres of his wide activities there was a centre—the church of our Lord Jesus Christ. To that centre he steadfastly carried the first of all that he had and was. Out of it he drew, a* from the very source of life, his un- failing inspiration to service. Of him it ma* truly be said, us of some otheis who have passed out of the life of our city, that, much as he will be missel in other places, the greatest loss Is to his church. First among our counsel- lors, the senior in years of service

among our deacons, never falling in the full measure of his stewardship— how greatly we shall mips him! His prayers taught us reverence and filial

love, and his consistent life, ever tempered with humility we shall always cherish. The pew in our midst which is vacant today speaks how eloquently of his constant presence in the House of God! The aisle through which he is once more to be borne—how often ha has trod it! bringing gifts to the altar, or carrying forth the bread and the wine in remembrance of his Savior and Lord.

Friends, we are near the end of an era. The pioneer generation is passing, how fast away! Beginning, perhaps with the day when Artemas W. Stearns was borne In burial from this church, until now. how many have fallen out of the front ranks of the city's strongest and best men! Clark and Chamberlain. Cabot and Kidder. Katon and Knowles, Herrlck and Whitney—and the many whom these do but suggest.

Men and brethren, you who are the successors of these elders and are now In the front ranks of our city's life upon whom is the heat and burden of the day. are you ready to see that we suffer no detriment? Will you carrv on their work and perfect it. In church and school. In business life and in philanthropy, in public government

anl private charities? It Is a day, and this is an hour, when the noble-mind- ed pledge themselves by the faith and life of the fathers.

It happens that the outward monu- ments to the memory of our belovd friend are to be the two buildings now added to our city—the bank which is Just completed, and the schoolhous.- vhleh will bear his name, cut In granite over the doors. There Is another memorial which might well be perpet- uated among the youth of our city. The prizes which he established and which are annually given to the High school, are bestowed under unique conditions. They go not necessarily to the brightest scholar or to the ont: having the highest marks, but to him

or her who, in the judgment of fellow- pupils and of the teachers has mad i best use of the High school course. The "Hood Prize" has come to be the on* most coveted because esteemed most, honorable. It was an unconscious revelation of his own principles of living to have established the prizes in this fashion. It comes .to me, as his life passes irrreview before us, that in fh.? greater school of the. world, from which he Is now graduated Into life eternal, Tie has won his own prize—not In comparison with others, but, as It were, in comparison with the failures and weaknesses men exhibit in view of Tfieir own powers. Surely he has made U,e most of his life. He has been true to his birth, to his traditions and train- Irg, to his gifts and opportunities. He has won from his fellow men an award like those bestowed in his name. Tf we c suld we would pin such a badge of honor upon his breast. Let it he aan o' him hereafter, as often as the Hood prizes are bestowed, that he who estao. lished them lived himself up to th? fine standard which they require, and

•.use he did so he went down to his grave in fullness of honors as ot years.

His life has been like unto a long day, with one great shadow in it, but the sun has ever shone out bright and < ar. and though its decline has been so fast at the 1: t it sets in a clear sky and the afterglow will long remain. "Y i, saith the spirit for they rest^rom their labors and their works do* follow them."

"I know not now" was exquisitely rendered by Miss Wither. A prayer by Kev. Mr. Page, a closing selection '-y the quartet, and the blessing by the pastor, brought the services to an end. While Miss Easton played softly and sweetly, on the organ, the large congregation passed silently before the bier, taking farewell of the deceased. Among those who paid tribute were the d.rectors and officers of the Law- rence banks, the Lawrence Bar

-soclatlon, headed by Judge A. C. Stone, Col. John P. Sweeney, ' rV William F. Moyes, J. J. Ma- honey. A. R. Sanborn, Register of Deeds Thomas F. Delaney, William J. Bradley. John C. Sanborn and John J Donovan; Principal J. H. Home of the High school. Mayor C. F. Lynch, Hon. John Breen, and other members of the school board, Supt. of Schools. B. N. Sheridan.

Howe of Methuen. The mourners came last, preceded by th3

ushers, W. E. Rowell, Fred N. Chand- ler, H. E. Sherman. Frank M. Andrew, Charles Stone and D. M. Spence. Then the casket was removed, and was soon on its way to the last resting place on the hillside whence sleep so many who gave of their life and character for the city which they loved.

Clinton O. Andrews acted as funeral director. The flora] display was arranged by R. C. Thornton of Thorn- ton Bros. Two great bunches of Eng- ish violet marked the pew Mr. Hood had occupied as a member of Trinity congregation.

Irian Exodus to America. The British press is deploring the

continued rush of Irish and Cornish emigrants to America. Over 22,000 have left Ireland alone during the present year. At present they are leaving at the rate of 2,000 a week. The rate is proportionately high in Cornwall, where the mining Industry Is practically dead.

Grasshopper. Threaten Kansas. The big, voracious alfalfa grasshop-

per which did considerable damage to the vegetation of Kansas during the past summer is threatening that great grain state with a worse scourge next year. This fear is based on the discovery of many eggs laid by the hop- pers this fall. If the winter should be mild they are expected to produce a vast destructive army. The hopper Is three and a half Inches long and half an Inch across the chest All sorts of devices have already been used to head ofT the pest, the coming of which Is said to be due to the killing off of quail and other insect birds.

Erie to Electrify a Section. The managers of the Erie railroad

A Coal Trust In Spain. F. W, Mabln, the American consul at

Nottingham, England, has information to the effect that a coal trust is in formation in Spain with the object of cutting out the English producers. The plan is to combine all the coal mines of Spain under one management, with a capital of $40,000,000, hoping to increase the total output

Responsibility For Train Wreck.. In Its editorial dealing with last

year's terrible record of railway accidents in the United States the Hallway Age says It Is possible to avoid all train accidents, but adds that the requirements for such a system would not be tolerated by the American pub lie. It finds two things primarily responsible for our railway fatalities— namely, "the demoralization in discipline incident to the labor union movement, and the lack of proper signaling equipment." In addition to this, the responsibility of the public is pointed out for demanding fast trains r.nd unlimited facilities on the ujie hand and low rates on the. other. It Is admitted that as a people we are careless in our regard for human llfe^ but "the railways are neither better nor worse than the people they serve."' The main conclusion of this railroad authority is that the first step toward reform lies in better discipline secured by relaxing the hold of labor unions and that the second step lies In the Improvement of the plan of better sig naling.

Under specious names In thousands of drug stores "womeu who shrink with horror from a saloon Imbibe 'medicines' far more deadly than 'drinks' at ten times more exorbitant prices and wreck their health and homes without knowing what they are doing." The proposed law Is similar to one now rigidly enforced in both France and Germany.

Ml Stuffed Up That's the condition of many sufferers from catarrh, especially in the morning. Great difficulty is experienced in clear ng the head and throat.

No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the tn.te, smell and hearing, pollutes the br *tth, deranges the stomach and affects the appetite.

To cure catarrh, treatment must be constitutional—alterative and tonic.

"I was afflicted with . ttarrb. I took medicines of di Keren t kind!*, giving each a fair trial; but gradually grew worse until I could hardly hear, taste or smell. I then concluded to try Hood's Sarsapartlla, and after taking five bottles I was cured and have not had any return of the disease since." EUQKHE FORBES, Lebanon, Kan.

The latest case of X ray poisoning is that of Dr. Louis A. Weigel of Rochester, X. Y., who bad to have his right hand and a part of his left amputated on account of the growth of a cancer caused by frequent use of the X rays. While Dr. Weigel is said to l.r improving, there Is no certainty about the outcome. Only n few weeks ago occurred the death of Mr. Edison's assistant, Clarence Dai- ley, from similar causes.

As to there being stars without limit beyond our radius of vision. Professor Newcomb does not pretend to know, but the fact that the stars of each order of magnitude are not found to increase In uniform ratio favors the conclusion that stars are not scattered through all space equally.

The Presidential Election of 1904 The American ship of state has been commissioned for another

four year voyage with Theodore Roosevelt as captain and the Republican party as his well disciplined officers and crew. The people willed it thus with a popular plurality of over 2,000,000 ballots Nov. 8 in an election full of political surprises.

Brooms, landslides, cyclones, floods and tidal waves have been worked overtime since that fateful day by the able phrase mongers of the press in an effort to express adequately the size of this victory for the Republican party. Although confident of winning, the Republicans themselves say they did not expect such enormous gains. In the hour of his supreme triumph the president and president elect delivered a master stroke of true strategy by explicitly saying he would neither seek nor accept another presidential nomination. This makes for cheerful acquiescence of the minority elements. The overwhelming defeat of the "safe, sane and conservative" candidate in the name of the De- mocracy, together with the surprisingly large vote cast for the Socialist and Populist candidates, makes certain one of two results—the Democracy will be reorganized with Bryan and his radical allies In full control or the radical elements of that party will be fused Into some entirely new and radical organization. Already rumor is busy connecting the names of Hearst, Bryan, Watson and others with such an alignment. Our American sense of humor will hardly grudge Mr. Bryan his sarcastic remark that "surely silver cannot be blamed for this defeat."

Closes Thirty-Eight Years of Service as Trial Justice by Sending Resignation

to Governor Bates.

Judge I'oor lias sent his resignation of ! the office of trial justice at Andover, to j the governor, the same to take effect

Dec. 1. He was appointed thirty-eight I years ago by Governor Bullock and suc- J ceeded Squire Merrill.

It is understood that Judge Poor's reasons for resigning are solely on account of a constantly increasing business, , particularly in his Boston office. His successor has not been selected.

Thanksgiving-.

When the pumpkin's In the cellar, And the fodder's hi the bin;

Then the Governor tells the people To rest arms and "count their tin."

Tel is us all to stop and ponder Orrthe days now passed and gone;

Count the mereies-all around us. Think of blowings we have won.

While I fain would name Lhe blessings That are thick upon my list,

'Chance the best way to record them, Is to COtint the ones I've missed.

There's a waiting room I wanted, But I'm waiting for It yet;

And the Park and boys' playstead. On them, long my heart's been set.

There's that gym for youth and children Some time folks won't laugh at that,

Wag their heads and say "he's crazy, He's just'talking thro' his hat.'"

Then I've wished that every person. Young and old within the town ;

Wouldn't think that life was ahapen, .lust to throw each other down.

There! 1 know the biggest blessing, That I'm going to think and feel;

When the turkey's on the platter. And tbe pig has censed to squeal;

Tls the blessing that the ending Soon or late is always right..

And to that I'll leave all issues, My sole part to "keep the tight."

Editorial Cinders.

More than ;i generation of Andover citizens have corhe ami gone since the first sentence was passed in Andover'a police court by Judge Poor. Thirty- eight years ago he received his appointment at the hands of Governor Alex- ander II. Bullock, and on December first his resignation goes into effect and his successor will be named by Governor Hates. It is far from being the most Important function that Judge Poor has performed in Andover during these very Iniportant and active years of Jus life, •bat' aa the local administrator of justice he hits' qertainly been a very great factor in maintaining the high standard of law and order which the town has enjoyed. May his successor, as worthily and honorably serve the state and town, and may the lessening of work bring to Judge Poor many years of honored and honorable citizenship.

If there is anyone who hasn't stated his opinions regarding the " whys and wherefores'* of the defeat of Andover at football last Saturday, let him rise up and speak at once, for the lists will close at the Anthropology building at nine a. m. Saturday. While it is doubtful if all of those who " know all about it" are given a chance to coach next year's team, there seems to be an excellent prospect that someone else may, other than one whose football knowledge is said to be ancient history. As for last Saturday, it is very clear that the best team won, and that a mighty plucky set of .boys were outclassed, out- geiieralled, and outplayed, with an abundance of honor to cover both team*.

•••• Not all pirates use the high seas for

their bases of operations. Some of them even enter !>eautiful little hill towns like Andover, " far from the madding crowd" (and also far from where they are known), and work their games. And the worst of it is, they don't carry black Hags, but sail under bright colors and never show their true stripes until they depart. If there was ever a pirate of the high seas who better deserved to be outlawed than do some of the " confidence men " who have buncoed business men not a thous- and miles from here during the past few years, then the dime novels never half told the real tales. For a detailed story, ask your butcher or baker or candlestick maker.

Turkeys are high, hut that will not interfere with your making some poorer family happy with some other substantial or delicacy, which will make the Thanksgiving of both giver and receiver more cheerful. If yoo> don> know who, the " Guild " will help by suggestion born of knowledge.

A good citizen has recently remarked, "Now for town politics". We protest. It is four months before the date of the annual March meeting will come around, and Thanksgiving, Christmas, and first of January stock- taking are all lying along the road l«fore that time.

To the small boy : when the ice will bear, wait for another day's freezing. The Andover pond* are quick to freeze and/become very inviting with a very light cold snap, but they are none the less treacherous traps in November.

In Punchard hall last evening a recital was held under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Hoar, instructor in music in the public schools. The artists were Miss Edith E. Torrey, soprano and Miss Grace G. Miles, pianist, both of Boston.

The audience was large and appreciative and extended much applause to each of the artists.

Miss Torrey has a fine rich voice with a range of unusual ability. Her rendi- tion of Klsa's Traum (from Lohengrin) was especially fine.

*» At the piano Miss Miles, who accompanied Miss Torrey, handled the instrument in brilliant style and in her solos was at her best. Her touch at times was light and again volumes of sound would pour forth. Her fingering was marvelous.

Following was the program: "Primroses deck the bank's green side''

Old English "Purdlcesti" Old Italian "Horo Whalri dim. Turn ye to me Old Scotch Elsa's Traum (from Lohengrin) Wagner "Dear love, when in thine arms I lie"

Brown Tall Moths.

A meeting of the A. V. I, S. \was held in the School committee rooms in tbe Town hall on Monday evening when an interesting discussion on the brown tail moth took place and methods of exter- minating the pest were presented by different members. The meeting was held chietly for the purpose of creating interest in the movement in Andover and it is hoped that all property owners will make a special effort to aid the society in its work against the moths.

In the near future the society hopes to have a speaker on this subject present to the citizens of the town the danger in letting the pest continue its ravages and will present several ways of getting rid of them. One member told of the good work which is being done in North Andover by an expert climber, whom it was thought could be secured for work in this town.

Police Court.

On- Tuesday evening a man from Boston was fined #20 by Judge Poor for gaming on the Sabbath. The arrest was made by Game Warden Clemmons near the Lowell junction station. *

Robert Edmands, a youth from Reading, was arrested by Chief Frye on Wednesday evening, for disturbance on an electric car coming from Lawrence. Edmands.with other young men had been playing football in Met linen during the afternoon and were returning to their homes. They were all more or less noisy but Edmands seemed to be the leader. He was fined $10 by Judge Poor last evening.

LARGE SHIPMENTS OF DEER AND ..MOOSE FROM MAINE

Promisinq Outlook for November. The hunting season thus far has boen

unusually prolific. Hundreds of deer have already been shipped * from the Maine woods; and the general report from this state in that not only deer, but moose, are more plentiful than for several seasons past. The Kangor and Aroostook region leads in

the shipment, but In almost every portion of Maine's wilderness at all dis- tant from civilization the sportsman is sure to bag his legal allotment of two deer.

November Is an Idea month Tor hunting, and the outlook promises an extra heavy output. The Boston and Maine General* Passenger Department, Bos- ton, Issues a beautiful illustrated booklet called "Fishing and Hunting," which will be mailed to any address

upon receipt of two cents In stamps. This booklet gives all requisite Infor- mation regarding th» fishing and hunting region and how to get theie. A condensed booklet, giving the flsrt and game laws of Northern New Eng- land and Canada will be mailed free.

Grangers Visit North Andover.

Boston Rovers 3, Andover a.

The Boston Hovers defeated Andover in a well played football game last Saturday, by a score of :: to 2. Both teams were strong and were about evenly matched, both on offense and defense, although the winners were favored slightly in weight.

Twice Andover failed to score on penalty kicks, thus losing chances to score easy goals and incidentally to win the game. Andover's backs put up a great game as did the goal keeper.

The Andover association football team will go to tjtiincy tomorrow to compete with the strong team of that city. The following team will represent Andover: (*oal, Hughes; backs, Hudson. " w. Matthews, Sterling, H addon, R. Ander- son ; forwards, Falconer, E. Anderson, Munroe, Daw BO n, Uwn.

On Wednesday evening many members of tbe Andover Grange went to North Beading and instituted a grange in tha,t town. The local Grangers were conveyed In barges furnished by Amnion P. Richardson and on arriving at the hall were greeted by instigators of the movement and many friends anxious to join the fraternity.

The lodge was formed by the officers of the local Grange, who filled the chairs, and Hii members were initiated. This is considered by local Patrons to be a large number of charter members and the outlook for a successful Bociety is assured.

After the instituting exercises were over officers were elected and were installed by State Deputy Herrick and Mrs. Herrick. A supper, prepared by members of the newly formed lodge, was then tendered the local lodge and a social hour followed.

The party then took the barges for home and arrived here during the early morning hours.

Among those who attended were: Charles I,. Bailey, Mrs. S. Gilman Bailey, Ralph Bailey, Alma Bailey, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. L. Averil), Robert A. Watson, Joseph I .ovejoy, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Clark, J. E.

The Coming- Ball.

.One of the most important events in the social life of the town each year is the annual firemen's entertainment and ball. It was instituted thirty-three years ago and without a break has afforded much pleasure, not only to—local firemen and friends, but to hundreds of visitors from out of town.

Last year a new departure was made from the old custom of having a supper and ball, a concert being added and this proved an added attraction.

This year another plan will be tried inasmuch aa there will be no supper served. In the past few years the suppers have not been very successful and much dissatisfaction has been the result. The committee in charge of this year's ball deemed it wise to drop the supper for this year at least. There will be, however, refreshments consisting of ice cream, cake, coffee, sandwiches, etc., for sale in the lower town hall by T E! Rhodes during the entire evening.

The hall opens at 7.30 and the entertainment will begin promptly at 7,45, It will be given by F. H. Howard of Boston and will consist of stereopticon pictures illustrated by songs.

At nine sharp the grand march will commence and dancing follow until one o'clock. Sets are to be formed aL the stroke of the gong.

It is expected that guests will be present from North Andover, Reading, Lawrence, Methuen, Wakefield, Maiden. Haverhill and other places.

Obituary.

MRS. DORCAS ABBOT CLARK. The passing away of Mrs. Dorcas

Abbot Clark last Tuesday morning re- moves one of the true gentlewomen of Andover whom many will greatly miss.

The old Abbott house near the railroad bridge on the Ballardvale road, famous for its age and for its hospitality was the place of her birth and of her death, and there the most of her eighty- six years were spent.

She was one of the early pupils in Abbot Academy and later for several years was a valued assistant in the household of Prof. John L, Taylor. Her marriage with Deacon Thomas Clark in 1867 gave her eight years of happy life in her husband's home until his death in 1875. Again in Prof. Taylor's home, and In the household of friends in Beverly, Maiden and Andover, Mrs. Clark found use for her "helpful minis- tries until she came back to her birth- place to spend her declining years. In earlv life she united with the South church, but soon after her marriage transferred her relationship to the Free church, of which she remained a devoted member for the rest of her days.

Two years ago last June, her eighty- fourth birthday was celebrated by a reception in the family home. Mauy friends weie glad to avail themselves of the opportunity to express their warm regard for her and will never forget the hearty welcome and old time courtest with which she greeted eacli guest.

On her last birthday*, juBt five months before her death, she stood among the receiving friends at the wedding reception of her nephew, Mr. Stanley A. Pratt and his bride.

In the enjoyment of all her faculties able to share' in the household duties until within a few days of the end, deeply interested In the affairs of home and of the community, happy in the

.companionship of her dear ones "soothed and sustained by an. unfalter- ing trust." MM came to the day of her departure as to A "greater birthday" on which she entered into truer life and came into possession of the eternal in- heritance of the children of God.

Her long life was a blessing to the community. Gentle in her disposition, yet firm in her convictions, strong in her affections, keenly appreciative of the good, the true, the beautiful, wherever found, wise in judgment, kind, charitable, unselfish, generous IN her relations with others with heart responsive to her fellowmen and to her Oud, she manifested in a marked degree as the controlling motive of her life that love which Prof. Henry Drummond called "The Greatest Thing in the World."

The earth is poorer for her absence but in the sorrow of our loss we are cheered by the memory of her life and by the assurance -hat she has gained

"The freer step, the fuller breath, The wide horizon's grander view,

The sens* of life that knows no death,* The life that meketh all things new.'

Of the eight brothers and sisters in Mrs. Clark's family only two are left, Timothy Abbot and Miss Hannah Abbot in whose heart-satisfying companionship she passed her closing days. Other near relatives are the children of her brother, Hartwell Abbot, James J. and Miss Mary Alice Abbot and Mrs. T. F. Pratt, and the children of her husband, Mrs. Benjamin Faruham of Lynn, Joseph Clark of Boston and Jesse Clark of And- over.

The funeral service of Mrs. Clark was held at her late home on Wednesday afternoon. The pastor of the Free church read appropriate Scripture and offered prayer, Prof. John Phelps Taylor, out of a friendship of sixty years, spoke tender and eloquent words of appreciation, and MiB» Mabel Carter sang "There shall be resting, after the weary day," and "There is no night in heaven." The burial was in the family lot in the South cemetery, where Rev. F. A. Wilson conducted a brief committal service.

Address of Prof. Taylor.

In the presence of the beloved dead the words of the Psalmist rush into mind. "The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree —tbey shall bring forth fruit in old age." Mrs. Clark was like the palm-tree, in her commanding sta- ture and moral rectitude. Like the palm-tree she was still more, in ber ample fruitfulnesa and usefulness. There were fruits of the Spirit in a gentleness all her own. There was an Indian summer at the last. A mellowness, a tol- erance, a graciousness, not of earth, in- vested her, ere God called her to Him- self.

Mrs. Clark wan of ancient and honorable lineage, connected with the found- ers of the town. She had a New Eng- land conscience, sensitive and supreme. Her interest In her studies and her school was lively and her speaking face was not wanting at the dedication of Abbot's new building at its seventy-fifth anniversary. Early responsibilities and associations'linked her long ago with the Abbot professor on the hill. "The

politest of men" she called him once to me. Not more so than she. A lady to her finger-tips she approved herself to all who knew her.

When the storm-cloud of the rebellion burst, she was a patriot second to none.

Others might be sluggards; she loved labor, in the spirit of Hira who said "my Father worketh hitherto and I work." Others might live abroad. To her home was the "one plank rescued out of the wreck of Paradise." Her heart went out to father and mother, brother and sister and in due time to husband and husband's children and grandchildren. Others might lift the newspaper or the club to the sky. She loved the church as the body, the bride of Christ and re- joiced in its services, sacraments, ser- mons and fellowship as divine.

More than most she hail a genius for friendship. A boy, of fifty years ago, s€nt her this summer, through me, a message of gratitude for kindness fresh to him as yesterday. Young girls idolized her, as she idolized them. Her unselfish thoughtfutness and genial sympathy knit her to her neighborhood with hooks of steel. Her loyalty to duty was most human, she ne^er for- got or forsook a sister. Thanksgiving and Christmas breathed a wanner glow

.fosfche presence of this sweet and beloved saint.

"With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation'' said the Almighty of a-good man. It was fulfilled in our friend, when she fell asleep. We are apt to think of dejith under the terms of its shadow and terror, its flutter, chill, loss, anguish, loneliness, blankness. It is the massive lugubrious, inexorable door of the shrines of Nikko under the sighing cypresses. We are wrong. Death, to the believer, is the gate of everlasting life. Better and truer the words of the great Resur- rection chapter, so ^familiar to our friend, 'the sting of death is sin and the strength of Bin is the law,, but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." * «*■

Tenderly yet.triuniphaptly- we pjraise .the Master in His disciple, whose mor- tality has been shallowed up of life. Oh that we may follow her, as far as she followed Christ,

"till clothed in liuht forever we nee Him face to face."

The trial of the case of James HM1 ot Bradford, Eng., against Peter D. Smith of the Smith & Dove Manufac- turing company of Andover, was resumed in superior civil court Tuesday The trial opened Monday afternoon.

In an action of contract the plalntiiT >eeks J10.000 damages. Hill claims that hfe entered Into an agreement with the defendant, who is treasurer of the Smith & Dove mills, to purchase ihe Frye village plant of the company, paying $1000 down and piomislng to pay $11,500 within fourteen days, and that before the final payment was made he found out that the plant had been sold to the American DeGreaslna; company. He says he made a tender of the balance pf the sale price, but that It was refused by the mill authorities, who tendered to him his original payment of $1000, Hill bases his claim' tor damages on the allegation that ?»• was given to understand that he had purchased the property and that the deed would be given to him at the end of fourteen days, when he paid the balance, and that in consequence of that understanding he entered Into possession of the property and removed P lurge quantity of wool tops belonging to him. which were in storage at the Arlington mills, to the Frye village property. He seeks- to be reimburced for moving the wool to the mill and for taking it away after the property was deeded to the Anieiican DoGi eas- ing company. He also seeks to recover the difference between the price he had agreed to pay for the property and t$M* fair market vulue of it at the time it was actually sold to the DeGreas- ing company. It was sold t~ him for $12,500 and he claims that It was actually worth between $15,000 and $20,000.

The suit was originally brought against the Smith & Dove Manufactur- ing company, but the action could not be maintained against the corporation for no transfer of real estate belonging to the corporation could be made without the vote of the stockholders, and in this Instance the stockholders not only did not vote to ratify the sale but voted not to authorize the sale to Mr. Hill. When this action became known to the plaintiff an amended declaration was filed. The suit against the corporation was discontinued and the action proceeded against Peter D. Smith alone. Mr. Hill claiming that Mr. Smith represented to him that he had authority to make the sale.

The defense is that Mr. Hill was well aware that the sale hinged on the vote of the stockholders and that the final I ayment was put off 14 days to await action by the stockholders. Mr. Smith 'Minis that neither the plaintiff, nor his agent. Henry H. Tankard, was misled hy the negotiations. He simply signed a receipt for $1000. which was advanced, he claims, by Mr. Hill with the distinct understanding that no deed would be turned over unless the stockholders approved the sale.

Mr. Tankard testified that Mr. Hill Instructed him to purchase mill prop-

erty in America, that he learned th-i' th-^Frye village mill was for sale and after an Inspection decided that it wa^ suitable. He wrote to Mr. Hill, wh.i was In England, and the latter name over in Mav 1W>2. examined the prop-

Robertson, Sutherland £ Co. 309311 ESSEX STREET, Lawrence, Mass.

erty and decided to purchase if satisfactory terms could be made. Mr. Tankard says that he went to the mill with real estate men and had a conference with the. manager, John W. Bell, as a result of which an agreement was drawn up whereby he was u? adwance $1000 and pay the balance in 14 days when he would get the deed. He had previously ascertained that the title was satisfactory. After the agreement had been drawn up Treas- urer Smith he said, gave him a receipt for the $1000. The reason the final payment was delayed for fourteen days he said, was because he told Mr. Bell that he had to go to Philadelphia.

He said that he understood that the stockholders would have to ratify the sale, but that he was given to understand that they would act favorably.

Peter D. Smith testified that he dis- tinctly stated, not to Mr. Tankard, but in his presence, that of course there could be no sale without the consent of the stockholders. This was at the time he signed the receipt for $1000. He denied that he in any way tried to mislead Mr. Hill or Mr. Tankard. He simply knew that the stockholders had voted to sell the property, that negotiations were going on with Intend- ing purchasers and that finally the stockholders voted to sell to th? Amer lean DeGreasing company. He declared that he was not trying to sell the property to two people or that he said anything that would deceive the plaintiff or give him to understand that he had authority to sell the property.

Before he had completed his testimony Mr. Tankard changed the statement he had made on cross-examination to the effect that he knew a meeting of the stockholders would have to be held to ratify the sale. He said that what he had intended to con- ve was the idea that he considered *he sale been effected when the $1000 was paid and the agreement signed, but that he supposed the stockholders might have to meet for the purpose- merely of designating someone to sien the deed. He admitted that the apparent discrepancy in his testimony had been called to his attention since Monday by his counsel, but said that Ms explanation was not suggested by counsel.

Mr. Tankard was visibly affected by the long examination to which he had been subjected and finally said that he could not stand it longer. He was then excused for the time being.

Henry Tongue was then called. Ho testffted^hat he was present wHen Mr. Tankard made the $1000 payment and that Mr. Smith did not say anything about it being necessary to hold a meeting of the stockholders to ratify the sale. He gave it as his opinion that the plant was worth from $15,000 to $17,000. Asked as to his understanding about what a corporation must do when conveying real estate. M> Ton. gu*4 said he thought that a general vote to sell was all that.was required and that after such a vote a deed could be given to anybody.

Before further te: 'imony had been of- feerd a settlement was effected between counsel, and the case was drawn from the jury.

Sweeney. Dow & Cox appeared for the plaintiff and «*. F. Choate represented the defendant.

Abbot Academy Notes.

COMMUNICATION "Speak of me us I am ; Nor net down aught in malice."

To the Editor of the Townsman: Dear Sir:—His Grace the Archbishop

of Canterbury has shown himself to be a modest Christian gentleman and by bis visit to us has verified the truth of his Scottish descent by embodying the sentiment of the ploughman poet.

"The rug is but the guinea** Btjtmp The mini 's the gowdfor a' that."

It is simply ludicrous to read the non- sense some of the Boston papers print anent the Episcopalian archbishop— "The primate of Great Britair.," *The head of the English church," etc.

Episcopacy is the church of England in the sense that it iB the church established by the law. All Englishmen are not Episcopalians. There are a few millions that have their own dissenting places of worship. Then as to Britain when His Grace goes to Scotland, he is only a dissenter. The Presbyterian church is the state church there. While in Ireland since Gladstone made all churches equal so far as state aid and control are concerned, His Grace would be just the good man he is, namely the Archbishop of Canterbury. It may interest our Episcopalian friends to note that Queen Victoria when residing in Scotland always went to the Presby- terian church and on Communion days partook of the bread and wine.

I cried out "I thank thee, Jew, for learning me that word" when I read that the Archbishop at Trinity church "pontificated the Eucharist."

If the Episcopal church is ashamed of her name it is a pity. Her chaste, dignified and beautiful service has won the hearts of many of our people and we must never forget that in tb£ wide lawn sleeves of her clergy they have always had a place to hold the old gospel. I saw it reported that the Bishops who were visiting us are quite pleased with the warm welcome they got from Christians of other creeds. I wonder if Episcopacy was established by law here and an education bill passed on model of last one in England, whether other denominations would have been so kindly to the good bishops.

We have been launching lome ships lately; why is the ceremony of naming the vessel called christening? Some journals call it baptizing; to me baptizing has nothing to do with a name, and to speak of christening a ship or making it a Christian is simply absurd. .lust say the girl broke the bottle of good wine and named the ship and we have called a spade a spade and not an agricultural implement. »

■ Tli« game of field hockey which was to have been played Monday between Bradford and Abbot hail to be given up on account of the storm and has been indefinitely postponed because of tbe lateness of the season. The disappointment on both sides was tempered by the friendly visit of Miss Bouve and the two Bradford teams. The afternoon was spent in dancing in the new gymnasium which had been decorated with the- colors of the two schools. A five o'clock diuner was arranged for the hostesses and their guests, and the dining room was most attractive with yellow Bradford banners, yellow shades ami beautiful yellow marguerites in the centre of each of the live tables. The place cards were fastened to a miniature hockey stick which will serve as a souvenir of the day.

On Tuesday, Mile. Marie Louise Camus began her work In the French department. Ever since the resignation of Prof. Morand in the summer of p", the French classes have been without the inspiration of native French instruction, a lack the more to be re- gretted because since that date the French students have been in Draper Hall. Unsuccessful attempts have been made to supply this deficiency, but not until now has the school seemed to rind the right person for the place. Mile. Camus was born and educated in Paris, receiving a diploma from the lycee Pension, She has been in this country about six weeks, having come to Cam- bridge and Boston to take up the work left by one of her friends. She has had some experience in teaching English girii, and brings to her work much In- telligence, refinement and charm. For the present, Miss Camus will be in And- over every Tuesday.

Tbe first of this year's Abbot Acade- my concerts was given Thursday in the November Club house. Mrs. Ruth Thayer Burnham, a former Bradford pupil of Mr. Downs, was the soloist and ber program was a delightful one, charmingly rendered. Mr. Downs be- spoke the indulgence of tbe audience for the singer who was suffering from a sudden laryngitis. Mrs. Burnham was quick to feel the sympathy of her audience and probably to her own astonish- ment she was able to go through the entire program, giving only the faintest hints at tiroes, to her hearers, of the difficulty under which she was laboring. In fact, the fine control of voice which she displayed was not the least of her excellences. Her versatility was also demonstrated to the satisfaction of all, and the richness of her tones, the sym- pathetic and the dramatic possibilities of ber voice made the concert most refresh- ing and enjoyable.

A preliminary notice was given last week of tbe Hon. Chester Holcorobe's lecture on the "Ethics of the Japanese- Russian Conflict" or "Which is Right, Japan or Russia?", to be given in Abbot halt on Saturday afternoon, November the nineteenth, at half past two o'clock. The tickets are 35 cents.

The Thanksgiving recess begins Tues day as soon as work is over and lasts until Friday afternoon.

Lecture on Plains Indians.

A lecture on the Plains Indians was given before the members of the Natural History society and their friends in the Archaeology buildigg last evening by Warren K. Moorehead, curator at the building. The lecture was illustrated by stereopticon views of the Indians ranging within a period of about 50 years. ,

Mr. Moorehead graphically described the customs, manner of living, etc., of the larger and well known tribes and gave a vivid description of their super- stitious practices with the torture to which they subject themselves. Much of this he said was being prohibited by the government.

He told of the cause and result of the Custer massacre, blaming the United States troops for the trouble.

Mr. Moorehead at the close of the lecture answered many questions from the audience making clearer many points of his address.

Death.

In Andover, Nov. 4. Dorcas Abbot; Clark, widow of the late Thomas Clark, aged 8b years, 5 months.

Phillips Andover was outclassed ! the annual championship football game played on Brothers field. Saturday, be (ore 12,000 people, the New Hampshire team winning by a score of 35 to 10,

The Exeter team showed better coaching and better training and >i addition they had the advantage in weight. Andover played a plucky game throughout and made a desperate rally in the lust of the second bait, which resulted in a touchdown, the only time Andover was able to cross the Exeter goal line during the game. Andoveis first score had been a goal from the field, kicked bv Daley substitute tull- 1 ck, early in the second halt. Exe- ter's offense was extremely powerful and her six touchdowns were the result of hard, straight football.

The day was,, an ideal one for the contest and the crowd was the Mggesi. one that ever gathered at an Andovei - Exeter game. There was the usu.il school spirit shown by the Buyjortets of the two teams. School sor.gs werf sung and the rival cheers repeatedly rent the air. The sturida wen* gay with blue and crimson bankers. Mar> alumni of the two academies were among the spectators.

The Kxeter forwards got tht jump on Andover, and, having an advantage in weight, were able to make big bobs for the backs when "Exeter hud th> ball and to break through on to the Andover backs when Andover had th. ball. The Exeter players dragged th. backs along, and everv man was in every play. The Andover team work was poor on the other hand and the only redeeming feature of Andovers play was the individual work of Cap;. Thompson, Bullock. Hobbs. Bartholo- mew, Brown, Schildmlller and Daley.

T. Jones, Exeter's quarterback, proved to be a clever general, and he got tlu plays off with remarkable «peed. while Hart proved to be the best ground gainer. Cooney and H. Jones also did excellent work for Exeter behind the line.

Exeter made most of her gains through the left side of the Andover line, Raymond giving way to Leightun and the latter finally Laving to retire in favor of Lynn, so vicious was the Exeter attack at that point.

Capt. Thompson of Andover played the game of his life. In the first few minutes of the game he outclassed his opponent, ('apt. MacFayden of Exe- ter, and It looked as though the latter would be easy for the remainder of the game. Thompson, however, was soon forced to plav three positions instead of one, his center and tackle on the left wing being practically useless.

Into every scrimmage went Thomp- son, down under the heap he dove, and hiH great strength robbed Exeter of several good opportunities to »,core. A bad blow before the first touchdown almost forced him to leave the field, but he refused to go and returned to

the fight, determined to play to the end. Gradually regaining his strength, he made things interesting and was found at afl times lending1 encourage- ment to his badly battered line.

Driver put up a strong defensive gume. but was unable to gain much by line bucking on acount of the strength of the Exeter line.

Bullock, the star Andover hu If back, made several long runs, anil once Hobbs broke through for 25 yards. One of Bullock's runs was for 35 yards. Bartholomew played a hard game for Andover and Brown and Schildmlller put up strong games on the ends.

The weakest position on the Andover team, however, was at quaiterback. Moorehead, who was selected to play in Dillon's place, made many blunders and his running of- the team waa wretched at times. He was alow la getting off the plays iind frequently mixed up his jdgnnls. His attempts :•; quarterback runs were all signal failures and his -downess once prevented his getting the ball after A fumble when it lay at his feet. His wcrk in - proved somewhat jn the sec-jnd half and he certainly tried hard to do good work. The 'allure to play Dillon" was criticized right and left by Andover students amT frequently during the game they called for Dillon, >;ul the coaches refused to send him brto the gu,me. Dillon has plaved a conspicu- ously strong game and favo.itt«m !s said to have been the real cause of his being retired, although Coach C'arbln Is said to hove considesad Dillon unre- liable. While Andover admits defeat and has no excuse to offer the men feel that the team would have worked better together had Dillon been direct- ing the plays. The best play Mom head n.ade was a clever tackle of I'nrt after the Exeter back had broken through for a long gain. But TOT the tackle F.-eter would have secured another touchdown.

The President's Acknowledgment. As Boon as the election returns sure-

ly Indicated the result President Roose- velt summoned the correspondents Into his room at the White House and dic- tated the following statement:

"1 am deeply senslhle of the honor done me hy the American people In

thus expressing their confidence In what 1 have done and have tried to do. I appreciate to the full the solemn responsibility this confidence imposes upon me, and I shall do all that In my power lies not to forfeit It.

"On the fourth of March next I • hall have served three and

one-half years, and this three and one- half years constitutes my first term. The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance and not the form. Under no circumstances will I tie a candidate for or accept another nomination."

Answering a telegram of congratula- tion from Chairman Cortelyou of the national committee, the president expressed his appreciation of the chairman's management of the campaign. More than 10,000 messages of congrat- ulation have reached the president. In- cluding the rulers and statesmen of Europe as well as the leading citizens of America. Among them was the following from Alton B. I'arker:

"The people by their votes have emphatically approved your administration, and I congratulate you."

The president replied as follSws: "I thank you for your congratula

tlons."

Chairman Corteryvw.

doubtful, gave Itoosevelt 174,000 plurality, or 31.000 more than McKinley's in 11)00. This wave carried Biggins into the governorship by over 75,000, although the betting odds had favored Ilerrlck.

Indiana. — Unofficial returns gave Itoosevelt over 110,000 plurality.

The Sure States. All the rest of the northern and west-

ern stales went Republican as expected, but with unexpected majorities, Pennsylvania heading the list with the unprecedented plurality of 464,826, said to be the largest vote every given a presidential candidate in any state. Philadelphia gave Roosevelt 2^7,UW3 out of 280,713 votes, other pluralities were: Ohio. 259.000; Illinois, 200.0UO: California, 115,000; Washington. 70,000; Connecticut, :i0,000; Michigan. 125,000; Iowa, 150,000; the Dakotas, 10,000; Minnesota, "0,000; New Jersey, 55,000, and the New England states about as usual. Roosevelt's total plurality in the country has reached at this writing 2,082,428. Governor Toole (Dem.) of Montana was re-elected by 5,000, but all other offices and the legislature are Republican and Roosevelt gets over 7,000. Ail the southern states except Missouri remained in the Democratic column. The electoral vote stood 343 for Roosevelt to 133 for Parker.

Socialist Gains. The vote for Debs (Socialist) showed

surprising growth in the country, and especially in the middle west, where in some places it ran neck and neck with the Parker vote. In Illinois the Socialists estimate their vote at 75,000 and In Chicago at 45,01X1. This state heads the list. New York taking second rank, with over 40,000 Socialist votes. The gain of this party In the country since WOO is over 400 per cent, the total vote probably exceeding 500,- 000.

be rapidJind permanent without fuslnu or compromise. He lielleves that organized labor will soon vote, as it strikes, to make the 25,000,000 wage workers "the masters of the machinery of production." He thinks that the "trustification" of industry will now go forward more swiftly than ever, thus paving the way for "the collec- tive possession of It when the working class comes In control of the government." With the Republican party in absolute control he figures a heavy reckoning of disappointment in the next four years. Facetiously, he remarks that we shall now see President Roosevelt draw the fangs of the trusts and wave the wand of prosperity In the face of the impending industrial depression.

will receive

Judge Parker's Afterthought. In an open letter "to the Democracy

of the nation." given to the press on the day after election. Mr. Parker thanks those m charge of his campaign and expresses his lielief that the people will soon realize that "the tariffed trusts are absorbing the wealth of the nation." He declares his purpose never to seek a nomination for public office, but promises to work in the ranks for ultimate Democratic harmony and -success. In his opinion athe great niornl question la. "Shall the trusts and corporations be prevented from contributing money to control or to aid In controlling elections?" He charges his defeat In a measure to the large army of Republican'officeholders in every northern, western and eastern state. It is understood that Mr. Parker will resume the practice of law at New York.

Principal Election Features. Missouri.—For the first time since

the war this rock ribbed Democratic state has toppled Into the Republican column by from 10,000 to 15,000 plurality for Roosevelt, while at the same time the awakened conscience of tiie state elected Folk (Dem.) governor by an indicated majority of 50,000. Leg- islature Republican.

.Massachusetts. Organized labor In this state is credited with electing the Democratic candidate for governor, William I.. Douglas, the millionaire Brockton shoe manufacturer, by a plurality of over 30,000. The labor cle- ment had been Incensed by Governor Bates' veto of the overtime bill to prevent women and children from working In factories after B at night. This diversion, however, did not affect the national canvass. Roosevelt's plurality being about 100,000 and the legislature Republican, as usual.

Rhode Island-Back in the Republic- an column. Utter defeating Garvin by 504 votes and Roosevelt winning by 15.000.

Wisconsin —Governor La Follette was elected by an estimated plurality of 50.000 and Roosevelt electors by more than 80,000. The La Follette faction controls the legislature, which will choose a successor to Quarles. This means also that Wisconsin will have a primary election law.

Maryland—At this writing It appears that Maryland's electoral vote will be divided.

Increased Congress Majority. The elections for members of the

house of representatives showed Re- publican gains In nearly every state except those of the solid south. Even the chairman of the Democratic con gressional committee, Mr. Cowherd of Missouri, lost his seat. On the other hand, that of Chairman Babcock, in Wisconsin, is still In doubt at this writing. Unofficial returns indicate a Republican majority of 10S. Although Senator Cockrell of Missouri will lose his seat after, a service of thirty years, the Republican majority in the senate is likely to remain unchanged. -

Bryan Again In Front. ** ' Without affirming or denying the sto-

ries, about his conferring with Hearst and Watson to reorganize the Democ- racy, W. J. Bsjrarj Ays the defeat of his Party was in' no sense personal to Judge Parker. With great unction he adds, "Surely silver cannot be blamed lor this defeat." He declares the result was due to the fact that the Dem- ocratic party "attempted to be cocserv- atlve In the presence of conditions which demand radical remedies." He thinks the campaign shows that "It is expedient from the standpoint of policy, as It is wrong from the standpoint of principle, to attempt any conciliation of the Industrial and financial despots who gradually are getting control of the avenues of wealth." To win In 1908, Mr. Bryan says, the Democrats must break away from the conserva tlsni which has .-failed of its purpose and again stand for liberal policies, such as smaller army. Income tax, bi- metallism and the curbing of trusts. He reasons that the trusts cannot be fought successfully by any party that depends upon trust funds. He sug- gests "death to every private monopoly" as the party slogan. State ownership of railroads and the postal telegraph system are among" the reforms he will seek.

Debs on Socialist Gains. Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist candi-

date, In a statement made at his home in Terre Haute. Ind., says that the tremendous increase in the Socialist vote this year means that the working class Is waking up to the necessity of Independent political action. From this time forward he thinks its growth will

Italian Conservatives Gain. General elections for the members of

the Italian chamber, which occurred Nov. 0, resulted in an increase for the Conservative or Ministerial party. The power of the extreme parties was less- ened. All the members of the cabinet were re-elected, and likewise the leaders of the Constitutional and Social- istic parties.

More Mobilization Riots. In spite of press censorship Berlin

papers continue to receive reports of serious resistance in Poland and other provinces of south Russia to the com- pulsory enlistment of soldiers for the eastern war. At Czesrochowa, Rus- sian Poland, the regular soldiers were ordered to fire upon a procession of men opposed to the war, the flag bearer and five others being killed and twenty injured. Similar uprisings are reported from Kaner and Rodomsk.

Cuban Congress Reconvened. The winter session of congress open-

ed at Havana Nov. 7, and it was expected that the Nationalists would abandon their obstruction policy. Presi- dent Palma submitted the budget for next year, amounting to 119,000,000, of which $2,500,000 is for new roads and bridges.

" DEAB MRS. PINKHASJ: — I am one of the many of your grateful friends who have been cured through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and who can to-day thank you for the fine health I enjoy. When I was thirty-five years old, I suffered severe backache and frequent bearing-down pains; in fact, I had womb trouble. I was very anxious to get well, and reading of thecures your Compound had made, I decided to try It. I took only six bbttles.but it built me up andcured me entirely of my troubles.

" My family and relatives were naturally as gratified as I was. My niece had heart trouble and nervous prostration, and was considered incur- able. She took your Vegetable Com- pound and it cured her in a ahort time, and she became well and strong, and her home to her great joy and her husband's delight was blessed with a baby. I know of a number of others who have been cured of different kinds of female trouble, and am satisfied that your Compound is the best medicine for sick women."—MRS. ELIZABETH H.

Japs In Port Arthur Will Talk Peace Fleeting visions of what must be happening every day in that In-

ferno, the Russian fortress nnd city of Port Arthur, have roused again the conscience of civilization for permitting the continuance of the eastern war. Lord Lansdowne voiced England's plea for arbitration in '.'. his lord mayor's address last week, and the triumph of President Roose- velt, It was hoped, would Justify him In taking an initiative with Ger- many. France and England to second the motion.

Just as these peace overtures were In the air and while the Japa- nese besiegers were expected almost hourly to cuter Port Arthur either by a last bloody assault or by the surrender of the Russian garrison Baron Hayashi. the Japanese ambassador at London, said, "After the fall of Port Arthur Japan would, I believe, be ready to treat for peace on no higher essential basis than that Russia should evacuate Manchuria, Japan also agreeing to a Bimllar evacuation."

The opposing armies In Manchuria remained face to face along the Sha river, with a frontage of eighty miles, the outposts se close that the men could banter each other and exchanged luxuries, while the artillery kept up desultory firing. Each army was crouched as for a leap at the other's throat.

It was denied that all the Russian ships had been destroyed by the Jnpanese fire. Three hospital ships were reported sunk In "the harbor with all on board, being hit by shells. General Stoessel was said to have asked for a truce to bury the dead. The fear of a massacre by the vic-

nese caused him to consider a surrender.

RANSOM F. McCRILLIS' SUIT AGAINST THE NEWSPAPERS.

FOR A MEMORIAL TO FORMER PASTOR.

The libel suits of Hansom F. Mc-

O fills of Met liuci!. formerly deputy

Collector of Internal Revenue in the 8th division under Collector Gil',

against the Boston Herald Company and the Boston Post Publishing com-

pany were placed on trial in superior

court before Judge Cask... Thursday.

McCrillis wus represented by Daniel N. Crow ley and ex-Congressman Wil- liam S. Knox. Samuel J. Elder and Coiigiessman Powers appeared for the defendants.

The ad damnum in each suit is Jiu,- 000. The plaintiff McCrillis was appointed a deputy collector In 181*7 and his commission was revoked by Col- lector Gill in November 1900, the collector basing his action it was alleged, on an Investi- gation in McCrillis' district, which he claimed convinced him that the deputy was "neither truthful nor honest," and "that his habits and character unfitted Mm for any responsible position In'the internal revenue service." The Her- ald and Post on Nov. 13. 1900 published articles announcing the revocation of the appointment of McCrillis and giving In interviews with Collector Gill the latter's reasons for the removal. In his declaration in the present suits McCrillis says the defendants published the articles "desiring; and intending unlawfully and maliciously to bring him into hatred, contempt and ridicule and to deprive him of his good name In his neighborhood and community,' and he characterizes the articles as "false and malicious libels."

In the Post article reference was made to alleged riotous living on the part of the plaintiff and in both ' th Herald and Post mention was made of specific cases In which Collector Gill claimed McCrillis had been irregular in%itn accounts. An Instance was cited in both papers also in which GUI claimed he had found out that in Ha- verhill McCrillis had demanded $75 for revenue tax from a Haverhill woman who hHd been convicted of illegal liquor selling and that he had accepted $3u from her.

In their answers both defendants rely on the truth of the publishei statements but deny that there was any malice, the stories being publishei in the ordinary course of business. The Herald In its answer snys that the ar- . title was "published In the ordinary I best monumen

course of business in good faith, without malice, in the belief that it was true, and as a correct report of a Jud- icial proceeding and of an administra- tive hearing before an official of the United States government on a matter of public concern."

As the two cases re**er to practical'} the same alleged llbe] a motion to consolidate them and try them together was allowed.

There Is unusual interest in the ca*e because of the publicity given the matter at the time, the prominence of the parties and counsel concerned, and because of the failure to convict Mc- Crillis on a criminal charge of m's- appropriatlon.

The plaintiff formerly lived in Salem and now lives In Methuen. He Is wldf- ly known in Essex county and has been prominent in politics. He held a- consulate in Spain under Harrison and after his return from Spain was *P- pofnted deputy by Collector GUI.

The case was assigned for trial yesterday but was not reached on account of the trial of a will case.

A jury was impaneled at 12.30 P- m. During the reading of the papers in the case. McCrillis and his wife occupied seats In the section reserved for spectators.o

Counsel, for the plaintiff consulted with McCrillis regarding jury challenges.

Two challenges were exercised by the plaintiff and two by the defendant.

The jury as ftnaly made up com- prises:

Alfred Butler. Nahant, gardener; Rlcl.ard T. Butler, Lawrence, wool- sorter, foreman; Nicholas C. Calnan, Lrwrence, conductor; Philip Chagnon, Lawrence, grocery Thomas F. Cronhi, F-rlem, builder: Dennis J. Gibbons, Pea body, morocco dresser; Frank G. "Hun kins. Haverhill; cutter; Francis McCauley, Salem, morrocco dresser; James J. Muldowney, Lawrence, loom- fixer; Moses P. Towne, North Ando- ver. farmer. Henry O. Verry, Dan- vers, farmer; Lorenzo D. Woodbury, Swampscott, fisherman.

The case was opened by Lawyer Crowley.

In his opening address to the ju-'y Mr. Crowley outlined the nature of ti;e suite stating that the articles were published Immediately after McCrillis had been discharged by his superior officer from the government service, because of his suspicions. "We claim." he continued, "that the articles ar" libellous. They charge him with graê crime as well as misdemeanor. The publications completely broke up the plaintiff and for a long time he wa.1 unable to work. It ruined his peace of mind." -

Mr. McCrillis and his wife were the only witnesses sworn tor the plaintiff. A recess till 2 o'clock was taken .it once.

At ihe morning service in Grac e church yesterday. Rev. Arthur W.

Moulton preached regarding the found- ing of a suitable memorial to the mem-

ory of the church's former rector, the late Rev. Augustine Heard Amory. It

had always been an ambition of Rev.

An.ory to establish an endowment mud

tor the better handling of the work of me church* aim ne nuu secured the ap- pio\ai ot the oisnop of tne uiocese. ne v.as never abie to accomplish his ue- snes in this direction so it was voted at a meeting ot tne rector, waruens unu vestiy mat a memorial to the Rev. Mr. Amory take the lorm of an endowment tuna to be known as tne Aim ry Memorial Endowment fund.

Mr. Moulton took tor h»s text Psalm 14.:7: "They shall abundantly utter the memory ot thy great goodness, and shall sing ot thy righteousness.' in.- spoke in part as follows:

"The psalmist was enthusiastic for God. one of those mighty mysteiious limes which sweep through the soul of man. Enthusiasm for God is by virtue of its very object enthusiasm for man, the most unerring revelation of Godhood comes to man from th-? meaning of manhood. Without man we should hardly dream of God, with man we cannot stop short of God.

"When. then, in the sublime progress ot human souls it is our privilege to count among: our friends those whose human lives among us are superb expressions of the Master, who par excellence, attract our reverence and love who are sweet with the incense of the unseen sanctuarv. can we find better men for our pride and glory In them than in ihe words men use of the highest truths of the universe. What men say of the highest truths, they may very well say of those who be.î express those truths, "abundantly utter the memory of their great goodness and sing of their righteousness."

"This sermon will outline to you proposal for a suitable memorial to Augustine Heard Amory, now num- bered among the saints. With the exception of two brief years, the entire work of his ministry was spent among; you. They were his youthful, vigorous and enthusiastic years. He earned the right of way among you and he kept it.

PLUMMRR- ELLIS.

A very pretty wedding took plaê

Monday night when Harry C. Plummer

of Boxford street and Miss Alice Maud

Ellis of Summer street were united In

the bonds of matrimony. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Justin

A. Northrup, castor of the Garden

Ptreet M. E. church. The bride was tastily clothed in a brown traveling gown. The bridesmaid. Miss Annie L. Ellis, a sister of the bride wore a dress of light silk. Frank S. Dawson was best man. Miss Helen Hale, a cousin of the bride was ring bearer. As the young couple entered the room IflM Hale played the "Bridal March" and at the close of the ceremony Mendel- sohn's wedding march. Mr. Plummer in employed at the office of the Inter- national Correspondence school In Lowell where the young couple will reside. They left last evening for Bos- ton where they will begin their honey- moon trip. Many valuable and beautiful presents testify to the popularity of the young couple. Only the Imme- diate friends and relatives of the two families were present. Among these were, Frank Dawson. Eleanor Hale. Mr. and Mrs. Plummer, Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Plummer, Mr. and Mrs. Richnrd Hale. Helen P. Hale, Frank B. Hale. Elliott K. Hale. Mrs. Helen Barton. Mrs. Millie Ellis, Mr. and Mrs. William Bradbury. Misses Ena *">rff. Elizabeth "Wilson. Annie L. Ellis.

man's memory i.; one which in the best way will carrv out the work whlc. h** most emphasized, the best monument which you can build to the memory of a man who was heart and soul a preacher of the gospel of Christ, .t consoler with the divine message, a helper with bin beneficence and be- nevolence, the friend of the sick and poor, is one which shall ever suppoit the preaching of the gospel, the consolation of the message, the relief of poverty and sickness. There la a way In which you can do It best and that is by an endowment fund which shall yield an Income constantly Increasing and as far as man can tell, never ending, to support the preaching -T the gospel in Grace church and the work among the poor of the parish."

Mr. Moulton then considered the subject from various points of view, speaking as follows: "The plan for an endowment fund, considered by Mr. Amory, met the approval of the bishop. Every institution which expects a future seeks to endow Itself. Hospitals schools, libraries and museums make their perennial levy. For a man io give a church today without giving also provision for the future Is equiv- ocal generosity. We must look Into the future. How much is there upon which you can lay your hand and say this will support the church in her work' You can name certain revenues from the pe\ys and sittings, you can suggest a certain amount from the offerings jou can point to the other customary means which churches have to make money, you can suggese legacies, but these are extremely dfcntingent On the other hand If you rlilse an endowment fund yotT>iart in motion a thing which must go far-towards making the parish independent of uncertain revenues. This pr.rish is one of the largest city parishes outside of Boston and It is constantly increasing. The personnel of this city thanges constantly. What are we going to need tremendously is a financial foundation for our support so that we can with- stand changes and chances incident to the mortal life of tlje parish.

"Constant asking for money Is a thing the church ought not to hav ■ to do nor ought the church have to depend on chances for a revenue.

"The value of a great memory in en- hanced Infinitely more by the practical good to a fellow being than any object presented passively to the view. The best memorial which you can rear to an active man Is activity, the be-u memorial you can make to good deeds fL" good deeds. You saw the best nt Augustine Amory's life, you saw him at his strongest and divinest . Now. I say, do something which shall help men to follow him In the finest way. ir. the way which shall bring the results he wanted. It is men's work which cen best tell of man. It is the preaching of the gospel to the poor and sln-slck that is the grandest memorial to a prophet and If you will place preaching of the gospel on a substantial, sure foundation so that God'3 poor may be helped In Amory's spirit and God's message resound with Amory's sincerity, you will erect i structure Which will last forever, to which your children can add and which will be a fitting offering to the glory rvf God and an abundant utterance of him who Is great In the Kingdom of God. *

INTERESTING WILL CASE IN SUPERIOR COURT.

The trial of the case of Joslah B.

Smith of this city against his sister,

Annie B. Burnham, in superior court

had many unusual and humorous feat-

ures In connection with the introduc-

tion of evidence. There Is an allegation

of fraud behind the suit. The plaint*.it

and defendant are brother and sister. Their mother, Alice Smith died In Feo- ruary of this year, leaving considerable property. By her will drawn some ten years ago, In consequence of trouble she had with her son Joslah, he was disinherited. He and MB mother afterwards made up and he claims ih.u ahe wished him to have his share of the estate, and in order that this might be accomplished she directed that to>* will be destroyed, The plaintiff claims that his mother told Mrs. Burnham. the defendant, to burn the will and that Mrs. Burnham burned a paper hi the presence of her mother which 3he represented to be the will but whi^,i was not. After Mrs. Smith died the will was produced by Mrs. Burnham and admitted to probate. The son now seeks to compel his sister to turn over to him the share of the estate which he would have received If his mother had left no will.

Sweeney, Dow and Cox appear "oi the plaintiff and Thompson and King for the defendant.

The plaimiiY testified that hia mother married a Mr. Ellis after the death nf her first husband but that the maniac? wa.i later annulled as a result of evidence which she obtained/that 'Ellis had a wife living when \he married

Mrs. Smith. It was ^he service he rendered in freeing his mother from El i.i that caused her to become reconciled to him again, he said, because her life with Kills had been a very unhanrv one.

For several months previous toother leath, he said, his mother showed

much affection for him and repeatedly i told him that she would reward him !

for what he had done for her by leaving him an equal share of the estate with the other children.*

Much amusement was caused in »he court t*»om by the testimony of Eliza- bwh.Whlttler.or North Andover one of the witnesses for the plaintiff'. Her pert answers made th*. court proceedings rather lively for a time.

She testified «hat she lived in an upstairs tenement In the house where Mrs. Smith resided and that Mis bmith was quite confidential with oer at times. During her cross-examlnatl«,n she raised a laugh by saying: "I have an open confession to make. I tried to draw the old lady out all I could And I succeeded pretty well, too," ahe added with a smile of satisfaction.

The witness rehearsed conversations

«iei ??d .w,th MrK" Smith in whk'h *"' Hal. the latter had told her that her son Joslah had done more for her than her other children and that she had had the will burned so that he would get a: least an equal share.: "I asked her'' said the witness, if she had burned the will herself and she said that her daughter had *rurned it. I asked her If she was sure the daughter had destroyed the will and she said that she was sitting right beside the stove and saw her put it into the fire. I told her that she wanted to look out for I knew a case where a person had pretended to burn a will and burned something else. She said that her daughter came to her and said that she had the will and would destroy it If she wanted her to and that she did so by putting it into the kitchen stove."

The witness related several other conversations In which Mra. Smith had told her, ahe said, that Joslah had done her a great service by freeing her from Mr. Ellis, who had several times tried to push her under the gates at a railroad crossing when a train was approaching and In many ways had made her life miserable.

In her cross-examination she refused to change her testimony In any particular, declaring. "I am old and aick and in a little while I am going before a higher tribunal that this court and you can't get me to tell an untruth now."

A mild sensation was caused by the cross-examination of the plaintiff Joslah B. Smith, when he was asked:

"Have you ever said that you would shoot your sister if you lost this case? '

"No. sir'" "Have you ever Raid that you would

knife her or get even with her?" "No. sir!" Mrs. Smith, wife of the plaintiff,

testified that she frequently called upon her husband's mother, and that Mra. Burnham. the defendant, never left the room on any occasion. The witness said that Mrs. Burnham's ronduct In thla regard was noticeable.

The defense claimed that Mrs. Smi»h never changed her f**e1lnes rpgnrdlT her aon and never intended th^t h" should receive any part of her prop- ert v.

T>r. Morrlll was the first witness. railed for the defensf. He testified thnt her mind was strong up to the time of hpr death.

Sarah Mills, a nurse testified that she attended Mrs. Smith for a shnif time last summer. Joslah Smith can"- one dnv and went to his mother's room. Witness saw him atoop to the bed fis If to kiss her and noticed that she turned her head away.

Mary Howarth testified that she was *--mployed In the Smith household nr-1 frequently heard Mrs. Smith ""a** that she should not leave her aon Joslah n cent.

»«rs. Rnrnhim. the defendant, was then called. She testified that she and her mother dined with Joslah and his

family on Christmas day In 1899 and that her mother had never gone to her son's house after that. Witness said that she had urged her mother to accept the Invitation to dinner and that after they had left her mother said to her that she #never wanted her to Intercede again.

Witness said that one day last summer after her return from Law- rence she found her mother rending her will.

"I asked her what ahe was doing," said Mrs. Burnham, "and she said that she wanted me to have the house but she did not see where an? changes could be made and she told me to take the will and put It away. She gave me the key to the safe. About two weeks before she died ahe asked me to get the will as she wanted to be sure It was all right"

"Joaiah called about once a week," witness continued, "after mother was taken 111." She told me she did not like what he said about (he nurse and the doctor. She received him the same as she would any friend.

In the auit of Freeda Aasef against the American Woolen company the Jury returned a verdict of $180 for the plaintiff. Mahoney & Manon-y appeared for the plaintiff and W. I. Badger for the defendant.

PRESENTATION TO JOSEPH SHATTUCK.

The trustees of the Essex Savings

bank have recently presented to Mr

Joseph Shattuck a beautifully engross-

ed copy of the resolutions pasaed by

them on tHe occasion of hia resignation,

about a year ago, of the preaidency ot

the bank, which office he had held for more than a quarter of a century. The work conalsta of about twenty page* of beautiful letterlng.and design from the pen of Mr. D. W. Hoff. supervisor of penmanship in the public schools, and certainly does him great cred'.L If contains. In addition to the resolutions, a Hat of- the present officers of the bank, together with the names of all those who have been in any way connected with the institution, either as officers or trustees, from Its ergan- lzation in 1847 to the present time. i:any of the men whose names appear there are known to the present generation only by name, while Mr. Shat- tuck'a connection with the Dank, em- bracing aa it does, more than forty years, enables him as he reads the names of the earlier officers and trustees to recall many Interesting inci- dents in the lives and characters ol the persons who were his colleagues many years ago.

While the gift is In no way an ade- quate expression of the gratitude of the hoard of trustees to Mr. Shattuck for his long term of service aa president, for which he received no remun- eration, still it does In some small measure, at least. Indicate tr/ him the high esteem with which be Is regard*! by his business associates.

A PERSONAL FAVOR OF THE COURT.

(From Success.) One of the moat picturesque figures

of the New York bar was the late Thomas Nolan, a lawyer, whose witty retorts furnished subjects for merriment at many a lawyers' gathering. Now, Nolan was at one time counsel for a poor widow who was suing a construction company for the death of her husband. The case had been placed upon the day calendar, but had been, frequently postponed, and Mrs. Mori- arty, by the time she had made her fifth call, was in an exceedingly disturbed frame of mind, consequently the tone of Nolan's rich brogue against the sixth adjaurnment.

"I am sorry," said Justice Dugro, "but your oponent has shown me gooa cause for the adjournment. Mr. Nolan, and the case will, therefore, go over until tomorrow."

"Very well, sor," said the barrister, sweetly, "but I might ask wan personal favor of this coort?"

"Certainly, sir, with pleasure." "Will your honor kindly sthep down

to my office and Just tell Mrs. Mori- arty that you have adjourned ike case "

There is Joy in_

ADA REHAN AT THE MAJESTIC.

Miss Ada Ketian, supported by Charles Kichman and an especially selected company of players in Shakespearian and Sheridan comedies, will be the attraction at the Majestic theatre for two weeks only, beginning Monday evening, Nov. 14. This comedienne has selected "The School for Scandal." "The Taming of the Shrew" and "The Country Girl," as the plays for her repertoire for her Boston engagement, and for the first week it'is announced as follows: "The Taming of the Shrew," Monday, Tuesday and Sat- urday nights and Saturday matinee; and "The School for Scandal," Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights.

Miss Kehan has included in her com pany this season such well known fav- orites as Mrs. Thomas Barry, Mr. Win. Redmond, Mr. Oliver I). Byron and many others who have demonstrated their particular proficiency in delightful old comedy roles.

The seat sale has been in progress since Wednesday, Nov. it, and there has naturally been a brisk demand for tickets. Mail orders will receive prompt attention if addressed to Manager Smith of the Majestic theatre.

After the Boston engagement Miss Hehan will positively not appear in any other New England city this season.

'LAY OTIS .SKINNER IN HIS NEW OF "THE HARVESTER."

•Direct from his notable artistic triumph at the Lyric1 theatre, New York, Otis "Skinner will appear at the Park theatre for two weeks, beginning Mon- day, Nov. 'Jl, in his unique new footlight creation, that of the title-role of "The Harvester." *This scholarly and graceful portrayer *>f poetic and romantic roles seems, to judge from all praise lie has received during Hie highly successful run of the play in the metropolis, to have the best role of his stage career in this latest characterization of itsgipsy- spiriled hero.

All the scenes have a French Canadian setting that is a decided novelty in itself. This "drama of the fields" has been styled by the late Francisûe Sar- cey, the greatest of all modern French critics, as "a dramatic idyl of the golden wheat-fields, full of the beauty of sylvan charm, with types like those simple- hearted peasant tillers of the soil, glorified by Millet in his famous painting of "The Angelus." A strikingly curious leature of the play is that in which the Harvester frightens the supeistitious Seigneur by his gipsy magic being luckily aided by a timely thunder-storm. This scene is a remarkable blending of humourous comedy with almost Mephis- tophelean effects. The cast promises notable work, including as it does, among olhers, such expert players as Lizzie Hudson Collier, Maud binbin, Marion Abbott, .1. M. Colville, Walter Lewis and George Clarke.

Henrj Walton was suipiised S.iiui- day evening at the residence of his mother Mrs. Elizabeth Walton, 44 Wa.

Frank Kennedy, in an admirable speech, presented him. in behalf of th.' company, with a valuable and handsome gold watch chain and charm, as ;: testimonial ,.f high regard. Th.- iv, ipient was completely surpiised

but he managed to make an appropriate and grateful reply.

There was dancing, vocal -nd instrumental music, and a choice and v-'i v generous collation.

From the Youth's Companion. Uncle Jared and Uncle Benjamin

made a sorry pair.

"What's happened to you 2?" ask&d a townsman.

"That pesky colt of Benjamin's run away and throwed him just as I came along," Untie Jared answered. "I'm giving hlxn a lift along toward home.'

"Look Sis though you needed one yourself," pronounced the inquisitor. "Whats been happenln* to you?"

"Who, me? Why. nothln' to speak of —just been to town to see the big procession. Got more or less hustled round and (romped on, but—" He stopped painfully to adjust a shoe which had been ripped open so that half of th<- upper flapped as he walked.

"Don't see much difference. I take It." Uncle Jared answered, with con- elusive dignity. "Benjamin's met with a accident, but I've been pleasurin'."

PAPER FIELDS.

LAWRENCE

JUDti£ EMMOXS SPEAKS Al FIRST BAK1TST CHL'WCH.

The strawberries seemed to sprint? from a soil of paper. As far as the eye could reach white paper spread, and through hules cut in it the bright green strawberry plants sprouted in straight rows.

"This waterproof paper," said the. farmer, "is an Idea of my own. The paper is spread over the whole field, and a hole is cut in It, Just the right size, for each plant.

"What Is the advantase? Well, the advantage is that the soil under the paper getting neither sunlight nor moisture, grows nothing, and thus there are no weeds choking the vlnc* that must be rooted out time and again with much expensive labor.

"Another advantage Is that the soils whole strength is concentrated on the strawberries. None of it is wasted on srass or other useless growths of any kind.

"With this scheme I count on a crop a quarter larger and on berries a quarter ligger. 1 am a modern rarmer, and besides my strawberries I raise seeu- less apples and seedless watermelons »n the farm, while on my Florida plan-

raise seedless oranges." tatlon I

HIGH THINKING AND OLD AGE.

That mental power helps to keep th,? body strong and to preserve ft from de- cay cannot he doubted. The longest- lived men and women have been, as it rule, those who have attained great mental and moral development. They have lived on a higher plane than other men. In a serene upper region, above the jar. tumult and fret that weaken most lives. It was at the age of seventh-five that the Count de Tressan r- romposed his old chivairlr romances arid wrote a history of the progress of the human mind. Herbert Spencer, one of the deepest thinkers and hardest workers of his day, has just passed away at the aee of eighty-three The Intellect of Thomas Wentworth Hlg- cinson. who reached forscnre on DeA 22, 190.1. shows no signs of abating vig- or. His publishers have recently announced a new work. —William ' Mat- thews In Saturday Evening Post.

The First liaptist ctfurch was crowded to the doors Sunday night with an audience eafter iu near juuge J£ni- nions. chairman of the Boston police board, i.ev. laeorge r'. ureen, pastor of the church. Introduced the speaker, causing a snuie uy remarking that to many and varied pictures of Jud^e femiuona nau been seen mat no knlru- uuctlon was necessary as" no doubt every member of the congregation knew him by sight. The Judge spok • about W minutes, devoting most of the time to an explanation of his ;u ..■ as chairman of boston s police board.

In his introduction Juuge Ernmon.^ stated that because ot the hearing uu the Institute of Technology case i.e had thought ol cancelling tne engagement to speak in Lawrencee but finally Decided to fulfil it. .He then proceeded as follows:

"When 1 was appointed to ,the board of police commissioners of the city -;i Boston one and a half years ago I swore to keep and uphold the laws. During the summer feeling ran niga in Chinatown, where two rival societies were striving for supremacy, and a member of one organization was murdered by those of another. Fol- lowing on this infraction of the' law, the police made their now famous raid, at which time several hundred Chinese were held until the question of citizenship could be looked into. We were assisting the United States officials In this matter and were only executing the law of the United States, yet .an indignation meeting was held in Fan- eulf hall and many speakers cried out against it and condemned our action, while the newspapers were no less strenuously objecting.

The next problem which confronted the commissioners was that of intoxi- cation and the danger and annoyance to the traveling public In the cars at night. The board thought the only way to cope with this was to arrest all 'drunkards before they boarded cars.

The speakerThen told of the famous order to arrest all drc ks and how the reporters of Boston papers kept after the board regarding the matter. As soon as the order was being obeyed an Improvement was noticed and now the drunkards are taken into custo ly so they do no harm and accidents are averted. Up to the year ending Oct. 1 11)0::. there were 34,227 arrests, of which 18.S54 were for drunkenness and for the year en'.lng Oct. l, 1W03, out if 41.465 arrests. 25,952 were for intoxi- cation.

Continuing he said: "I am not here to attack liquor dealers or those who consume it. You have the power to regulate this traffic by your ballot and a proper enforcement of the law will do much to cornet these evils. In Boston we have sent our 50,000 circu- lars In English, as well as many In other languages, explaining the law and as a result conditions are much better. Those who obey the law are protected by the police and as a con«e- ouen*e are satisfied, but the "grafter* ' are continual).' complaining.

1 have been much criticised for speaking at meetings of this kind and have been accused of seeking publicity, .surrounding myself with reporters al police headquarters, in "reply *o su.h statements I would sav that ther * are seven reporters stationed at headquarters who are ordered there to get the news an.l appreciating their position I have tried to treat them all falr- U hy giving them the news of the de. partment. The publicity of the posl- ua is distasteful and I would resign f 1 could do so honorably, but as'l cannot, I will do my best to see that th« laws',a re enforced,"

Judge Emmons found several occa- Sionssduring his speech tn refer to th° newspapers |n their search f, and the methods thev pursued

THE MASTERS' CLUB MEETING.

At the monthly meeting or the school Masters' club held at the old High school building Wednesday night the paper of the evening was read b>' Arthur E. Baker, principal of tne John K. rurbox school, who read an Inter- esting article o:. "Erasmus.''

In presenting the subject Mr. Baker said that the great educational movement of which Erasmus was the most distinguished lender was the revival of learning or the new learning in Ge-- many, beginning with literature and art.

The speaker first traced the growth from the middle ages of the Italian re- naissance under Dante and Petrarch and showed how Germany receive, he' Impulse to new, learning from the Ital- ian movement when the later had reached the stage of Its true and vital- izing force. Italy's revival of leanring degenerated into mere dilletantlstn but not so the movement in Germany, fo: the "great educator of good letters" Erasmus, saved the day and laid th' foundation of the higher education of rrurone as it h.-s lasted until this day

He apprehended -ore than any oho else the true significance of the renais. sance as an intellectual movement ,and more than any one else by his rich menial enowments. by his' persona! and literary reach.' he made of it tne instrument of liberal . culture for the civilized world. The end of education, as he discerned it, was the -nlarge ment and perfection of the Intellect My freelnf It from preltnPce. passim ani p-'itlallty: by disciplining it in accuracy and acuteness.

Students of history today rega d Erasmus' conttibutlons to th° spread of the revival of tearing as the might- iest and most vital, both In nls ow i age and in their effects upon sube- ituent civilization.

statesmen admit the great value of the lesson he taught for all times an! places—and taught for In advance it, his age—"progress by evolution not by revolution, arbitration not war' and too the futility of attempting to crush rhought-bv force. • Religionists realize that in the do-

main of religious toleration he was th' precursor of a better 'age—"Not in the storm of theological controvercy, not in the earthquake of religious revolution, but In the still small voice of reason speaking through conscience d" we discern the promise a\id presage of liberties of the modern world."

Schoolmen will revere nls memory as the man who. in the evolution of'the modern school, woke up the North German schoolmaster and tauebt him the difference between the fi>em and the spirit, the man who Jet -nto the stiflinc mediaeval schoolroom the fresh air of modern thought and culture, and who. in his own largeness of being showed the world a monument o." ne-- slstency of purpose and largeness cf ennnoitv, tnd how the student of honk-: might he as well the student of men. of event*, of countries, of statesman- ship, and of institutions, civil, religious an i political.

At the conclusion of Mr. Baker's address refreshments were served.

RELEASES HER RIGHTS TO CITV OF LAWRENCE.

Superintendent Hannagan of the street department has completed negotiations with Miss Julia P. Tomp- kins whereby she releases all her rights In certain parts of South Broadway, adjoining the Tompklns estate, to the city of Lawrence.

The consideration is. that the street department shall build a wire fence, similar to that in use on the lines of the Southern New Hampshire electric road, with concrete posts, the manufacture of which Supt. Hannagan has instituted in the street department, from the corner of South street to the end of the line of the Tompklns estate on the east side of South Broadway.

The agreement was drawn up by City Solicitor Kane and signed by Mi-s Tompklns Monday night.

A long controversy between the city and the Tompklns heirs has thus been brought to a satisfactory termination through the dlplomcy of the superintendent of streets. When William S Marsh was at the head of the street department in 1889. he endeavored to widen South Broadway from South St. to the Andover line, hut encountered opposition and desisted. Supt. Hanna- gan found Miss Tompklns public spirited and generous in the matter. She told .City Engineer Marble that if the heirs had been approached previously in the gentlemanly way Mr. Hannagan had pursued, the question could have been settled long ago.

The arrangement will enable the street department to carry out Its scheme for the improvement of South Broadway. The street will be widened to Its full width of 6fi feet from South street to the Andover line. On the north side of South street. South Broadway is now the regulation width. The new point upon which the Tomp- kins estate abuts will have the same width as the thoroughfare has been given by the state highway commission In front of the residence of Mr. Wm. M. Wood in Andover. The stree.- derartment will thus he enabled tn make South Broadway the finest approach to the citv of Lawrence.

THEO. MUIS15,

President Gompersv

The A. F. L. Report. The officers of the American Federa-

tion of Labor In convention at San Francisco lust week reported Increased strength of the federation In spite of the opposition of employers' associations. President Gompers said that the trouble In Colorado had resulted In almost wiping out the antagonisms between the American Federation and

the western labor organizations. Secretary Frank Morri- son's report shows the federation made a total gain of 1253,845 in membership. Reports from 100 unions show that there were 1,806 strikes, involv- lnjr245,174work-

trs. The cost of strikes is reported at $2,8(10,020. The treasurer ?sbows that $305,000 was collected .and $204,000 was expended, leaving a balance of $101,000. The present membership of the federation is said to be 1,750,000. Mr. Gompers said that the mainte- nance of Industrial peace was to be de- voutly prayed for, but that "so long as private greed or shortsighted Interests dominate the Judgment and actions of employers Just so long will strikes, or, better still, the preparedness of labor to strike, be a determining factor to bring about Industrial peace on a more equitable basis."

Textile Strikers Stay Out. When the machinery in the various

cotton mills at Fall River started up Nov. 14 It was hoped by the employers that a sufficient number of the striking operatives would return to work at the reduced scale to Justify keeping the mills open, hut In this they were disappointed. On that day a big mass meeting of the weavers, both union and nonunion, was held In which the sentiment against returning to work was almost unanimous. At most of the mills from eight to twenty workers showed up, and the largest number at any one mill was forty The employers decided to abandon the attempt to operate the mills at present

Eight Hour Day For Miners. In, the mills of five big mines of the

Telluride (Colo.) district notices, have "been-posted stating that the eight hour

_day and n„wage of $3 will prevail. It was' the demand for this concession that precipitated the strike in the mills and mines of Colorado.

w Symphony Orchestra Nonunion.

The members of the famous Boston Symphony orchestra have all quit the Musicians' union. The orchestra thus becomes definitely and absolutely a nonunion organization.

coup Is found in the recent changes which have been made in the directo- rates of the various trunk lines, the latest move being the purchase of 240,- 000 shares of Atehtson by the Rocke- fellers. The latter say their object is not to control the railroads of the country, but merely to have a voice in their management.

Auto Trust Seeking Monopoly. The new American agents of tLe fa-

mous French Mercedes automobiles have surrendered to the American As- sociation of Licensed Automobile Man- ufacturers by agreeing to attach the license tag of the association, which controls the Selden patent, to all Mer- cedes cars imported. This means that a royalty in ench case will be paid to the owners of the American patent. This action was coincident with a law- suit begun by the patent owners against N. D. Chapman, a New York broker, seeking to prevent him from operating his new French machine In this country on the ground that it is constructed In violation of the Selden patent

boards which are constantly Influenced by political considerations.

An Educational Skyscraper. The New York board of education

has finally decided to erect on the lower east side, where the population Is very dense, an enormous school building with ten or more stories or sufficient to accommodate about 8,000 pupils. When completed it will be the largest elementary public school In the world. The structure will be made perfectly fireproof and have elevators and escalators as well as stairways. The building will not be used by the primary grades.

End of Ocean Rate War. At Liverpool Nov. 14 the north At-

lantic conference lines approved the terms of the rate settlement which had been reached at Berlin the day before. Passenger rates were rafsed Immedi- ately to their normal level. By the Berlin agreement the Cunard line will Join the association of continental lines in so far as continental traffic is concerned.

Against Trust Owned Railroads. The interstate commerce commission

has decided that the rates charged by Industrial lines are excessive and unlawful, the case being against the In- ternational Harvester company of Chi- cago, which owns a four mile line connecting Its plant with the trunk lines.

All Our Railroads to Merge. The Chicago Tribune in a three col-

umn article says the details are being rapidly worked out for the formation of an .$8,000,000,000 railroad trust in which a dozen eastern financiers, headed by the Standard Oil Interests, would have supreme control. Their plan is said to be to divide the railroads of the country Into eastern, western and southern systems, with a total mileage of 100,- 000. Evidence of this great financial

Electric Engine's Official Test. What may be regarded as an epoch

making event in the railroad and trans- portation industry of the country occurred at Schenectady, N. Y., Nov. 12, when the new electric locomotive built for the New York Central railroad by the General Electric company and American Locomotive works had its official trial. Pulling a four car train, this locomotive reached a speed of nearly seventy miles an hour. Inci- dentally a race was run on the experi- mental track with the fast mail on the regular track, the latter train being left far in the rear. Besides getting under headway quicker than with steam engines, the electric train can stop quicker. Safety is furthered by the absence of fire. A central corridor through the cab makes easy passage from the locomotive to the cars. The locomotive has a maximum horsepow er of 3,000 tons, weighs ninety-five tons and has an average speed of sixty miles an hour with 500 ton train. The trials demonstrated that the steam locomotive had met at last a formidable rival. They were witnessed by prominent electricians and engineers^ from all parts of the country. The flrsT electric engines will be used to haul express trains from Croton^to New York, .a service which will be begun In the fall of* 1906.

(a • Lackawanna Wants Electricity.

President Truesdale of the Delaware; Lackawanna and Western railroad con- firms the report that electricity Is to be substituted for steam as motive power on the suburban lines of that road. Installation wilt begin as soon as a number of grade crossings have been done away with. It is also hint- ed that the great electric power plant being erected at Scranton, Pa., Is planned with a view to the ultimate electrification of the entire Lackawanna svstem.

EDUCATIONAL

Suspended For Slugging. The Washington board of educa-

tion has suspended indefinitely two high schoo students who assaulted a fellow student of an opposing but victorious football team. The discontinu- ance of all football in the schools of the city Is threatened if slugging occurs again. The board thoroughly ap- proves of clean, manly football as beneficial to the players.

What Our Schools Lack. Miss Adele Marie Shaw, who has

been investigating the public school system of the United States in a series of articles for the World's Work, finds, first, that the schools are Inadequate In cultivating healthy bodies; second, the average mental training of school graduates is hardly less meager, as proved by their gullibility and their vulgar tastes; third, the school showing is poorer s£H morally. Miss Shaw ad mtts that >achers are overworked and underpaid -nd finds another weakness In the character and conduct of school

Booth-Tucker's New Office. Commander Booth-Tucker, who sail-

ed from New York for England Nov. 16, after being for eight years at the head of the Salvation Army in Ameri- ca, has been made secretary of the Sal- vation Army for all the countries outside of Great Britain. His home will be in London, but he will be required to travel constantly. During bis eight years in this country the property of the organization has increased from $700,000 to $1,500,000.

Benefactor Quits Catholics. The Marquise des Monstiers-Merln-

\ille, who as Miss Mary Gwendolln Caldwell gave $300,000 of her Inherited fortune to found the Catholic Univer- sity of America at Washington, has re- nounced Catholicism. She says that slnco living in Europe her eyes have been opened "to what that church really is and to Its anything but sanctity." Her youthful Imagination had been

caught by the idea of doing something to lift the church from its lowly position In America, being especially influenced by Bish- op Spaldlng of Peorla. But for years she has been trying to rid herself of "the subtle yet overwhelming influence of a church which

Marquise des Monstiers. pretends not

only to the privilege of being the only true church, but of being able to open the gates of heaven to a sorrowful, sin- ful world." At last "her ''honest Prot- estant blood has' asserted Itself," she says, and she forever repudiates and casts off "the yoke of Rome." Bishop Spaldlng and other prominent Catho- lics In this country. Including Rector O'Connell of the Catholic university, have expressed the utmost surprise at this announcement. The marquise is about forty-five years old, and her fortune was made by her father in pro- moting a Mobile (Ala.) gas company. Shortly before bis death he became a Catholic convert and left Ids children in the care of Catholics. The husband of the marquise is a middle aged French Catholic.

American Prelates Promoted. During the second consistory under

the rule of Pope Plus at Rome lost week the postulatlon of the pallium for three American archbishops occurred. They are Archbishops Mess- mer of Milwaukee. Moeller of Cincin- nati and Glennon of St. Louis. Also ten American bishops were proclaimed. The pope delivered an allocution on the broken French concordat and expressed the hope that a »»etter understanding would be reached.

JOHN H. STEWART. Manager. SHERWOOD A. LEE, Steward.

Stoessel Says He Can Hold Out In a blinding snowstorm at dead of night the Russian torpedo boat

destroyer Rostoropny, with lights covered, gilded out of the besieged and blockaded harbor of Tort Arthur Nov. 15, and, passing the Japanese ships unobserved, made straight for Cbefu, across the gulf of Pechili, where later next day the crew calmly scuttled their ship and went aBhore.

This daring and costly maneuvt*»\meant that General Stoessel, the Russian commander at Port Arthur, felt the necessity of getting a men sage to the czar at once and that the torpedo boat was sunk to escape capture by the Japanese, aB in the case of the Ryeshitelin.

Reports differed somewhat as to the tenor of that fateful message, but It Is generally believed that the word was one of hope and reas- surance In spite of the recent onslaughts of the besieging Japs. St. Petersburg at least was lead to believe that Stoessel and his brave garrison were confident that they could hold out until the Baltic fleet should arrive and Kuropatkln should beat back Oyama.

Needless to say this optimism Is not shared at Tokyo, where It Is understood that Port Arthur Is in desperate straits, and that Oyama's army has resumed the offensive against Kuropatkln along the Shaho. It was denied that Kuroki had fallen.

Miscellaneous

Jiching Joints In the fingers, toes, a 'us, and other parts of the body, are joints that are inflamed and swollen by rheumatism— that acid condition of the blood which affects the muscles also.

Sufferers dread to move, especially after sitting or lying lung, and their condition is commonly worse in wet weather.

" It has been a lone time since we hare been without Hood's Sarsaparilla. sly fattier thinks he could not do without it. He has been troubled with rheumatism since be was a boy. av Hood's Sarsapa- rilla .is the only niede i.<- he can take that will enable him to take hla place in the field." Miss ADA I>OTY, Sidney, Iowa.


Remove the cause of rheumatism—no outward application can. Take them.

LAMP DESIGNS.

A model shows a standard of Vene- tian, Iron to stimulate a gnarled grape vine, around the top of which la a circle of small electric lights. Above this spreads a veritable arbor or grape leaves and vines, done in a filigree of Venetian iron. From the arbor falls, almost like a fringe, the shape proper, which is composed of leaded cathedral glass In the natural colorings of grapes white and green, Callfornlas, the small pink Delawares, the Malaga and the Concord. At a distance each grape seems to stand out individually, but on close examinations it proves to be a solid shade, built entirely of the leaded glass.

For a bachelor's den there Is offered] a combination smoking set and lamp. The ash tray encircles a small lemon tree, built In Venetian iron, with four ripe lemons In opaque glass, each ecreenlng a small light. The whole measures about a foot and a half or two feet in height.

A standard in Venetian Iron has a globe of ground glass, inlaid with peacock eyes. Still another brass bowl, overlaid with the Venetian iron, has a globe shaped like a great, greenish- white tulip. A striking library lamp Is of the dull brass, inlaid with hlgh- of gold beads. ly polished brass, showing Arabian decorations. The shade follows oriental lines, and Is built of opaque glass, in six tints of yellow, with . a d«tep fringe of gold beads.

ORIGIN OF BREAKFAST.

Lntll a century ago "breakfast" consisted only of a draught of ale or tea or chocolate. There were only two meals a day—dinner ranging from 9 A. M. In the fifteenth century to noon in the seventeenth, and supper, which similarly advanced from 6 P. M. to 7 (.'clock. But in the eighteenth century dinner was gradually postponed until 8 or 6 In the afternoon. When it passed midday breakfast became a necessity and a meal. Before this hunger had demanded the addition of bread and some such relish as radishes to the morning draught. But when, a hundred years ago, cold meats and fish began to be served at breakfast, the utmost surprise was expressed. Its novelty made it fashionable, and led to the giving of breakfast parties, of which Mr. Gladstone's! were the last.

L» ' GADl'OL.

Four persons were killed and many injured when a trolley car ran away and crashed through the guard gates of a railroad crossing on the Grand Trunk railway at Toronto, Ont., Nov. 17.

A storm along the Atlantic coast Nov. 13 caused numerous wrecks and some loss of life.

By a series of gas explosions that completely destroyed the plant of the Pyle National Electric Headlight company at South Chicago, Nov. 18, four persona were killed and a score of others injured.

The freight steamer Mohawk of the Central Vermont Railroad company, plying between New York and New- London, Conn., was totally destroyed by fire, Nov. 18, in Long Island sound. One man was reported missing, while the crew of twenty-five escaped.

Deaths. George L. Watson, the famous Eng-

lish yacht designer, died at Glasgow, Nov. 12, aged forty-three.

Cardinal Mocennl, administrator of the apostolic palace under Pope Leo XIII.. died at Rome, Nov. 14.

Dr. Thomas S. K. Drown, president of the Lehlgb university, died at Beth- lehem. Pa.. Nov. HI, aged sixty-two

Sunday is not only a religious hut a hygienic Institution. It Is beneficent in its uses, mom lly and physically. How workers should best spend the Sunday Is still a moot question, but that It should he a time of soul refreshment and recreation, a moment, as Miss Corelll expresses it, "for stani- ing and taking breath on the threshold of another week." a season for thought for* Intellectual enjoyment, for the so- lace of nature and the admiration of Its wonders and beauty, no sensible person will he likely to deny. Whether motnrlNK and card-playing Is the best way tit attain these ends must be left to each Individual's Judgment.—Lady Violet Orevllle, in the London Graphic.

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER.

< From the Chicago Chronicle.) Drink a glass of water when you get

out of bed in the morning. Never mind ihe size of the glass. Let the water be fold if >'ou will. Some people nres.ribe hot water, but that isn't necessary. You may have washed your fare Al- ready and tellshed the experience. You may have taken a told plunge in- to the tub and delighted In the shock and its reaction. The brisk use of the toothbrush has left your mouth clean and the breath sweet. But you are dirty stni.

Drink '•* glass of cold water end en- Jo> the sensatoin of being clean inside. All that is luxurious in th.' cold bath cleansing the outside is artificial. That which should prompt the glass of water after sleeping is natural.

Drink a glass of cold water In the name of cleanliness. It becomes one of the shortest and easiest of toilet duties. It is swallowed In a second, an-1 In five minutes It has passed Nm the stomach, taking with it the Hogging secretions of the alimentary tracts. It has left behind the stimulus thnt goes with cold water, and, by filling the arterial system to the normal, it puts a spur to the circulation thst has grown sluggish in the nigh*.

FROM SOUTH AFRICA.

Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal, South Africa, says: "As a proof that Chamberlain's Cough Rem- edy is a cure suitable for old and young, I pen you the following: A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not Know what to give it. I suggested that if they would get a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and put some upon the dummy teat the baby wss sucking it would no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about a o,uick relief and cured the baby." Tola remedy is for sale by all druggists, Law- rence; W. A. Allen, Andover; C. H. Sbattuck, Ballardvale.

•Tiy/i»- Rave time. Yon don't want to lone any of the

present short days One of our 9»c "waLersup" will do tlie business. Il don't ring like a tire alarm or riot, i ut settles down to liusine** in an earnest, determined nianner that makes the sleepy man ashan>ed of himself.

"Cinders" are such queer tilings. When you least suspect it there is heat left in them, and they have been known to even set (ires and destroy valuable property. Then, you know, they make the very best running track that can be constructed ; they are great things to get into one's eve ; they dry quickly after a passing shower, but (before they are produced) burn better for a good, wetting. Now all these uses represent many kinds of "cinders". Some bigger than others; some from soft coal and some from hard ; some from quick burning and others from slow combustion. We may naturally assume that those for the running track must still have some " tire" in them, and that the one

I which, gets into your eye is in a way related to the mote iu your brother's

i eye. The "Cinders" in this column of

', the Townsman are related to all kinds ! referred to, and have intimate acquain- ! tance with many other kinds. They are sometimes the product of slow burning Cole, and sometimes they represent the bi-product of very quick combustion. They frequently represent the beam in the writer's eye, but they are really never intended to put a mote into anybody else's eye. Like some coal " cinders " they ought to dry quickly after any passing shower, but as the little lye left in the coal cinders holds moisture for a long while, so any kind of lie about these cinders is a long

; time drying out. These cinders burn better if sprinkled'

I with a good mixture of the milk of human kindness and the golden rule. Hoth ingredients are sometimes omitted

The attendance at Thanksgiving ser- ! vices grows smaller and smaller. The

question may well be asked if it is wise to keep up a function which so clearly

i languishes. If the old significance of | the day as a time for Thanksgiving and ! praise in a religious spirit is passed, [ isn't there a new significance which may be attached to it, and on account

| of which a different kind of public j service might well be held? There ' are great lessons growing out of the ! election that is just closed each Thauks- ; giving time, which might well serve as

topics for discussion in every public gathering on Thanksgiving day. The public is more and more craving a knowledge of the live things, and if they stay away from academic and doctrinal discussions, it is because such discussions fail to satisfy as they did once.

I*et everybody wno loves green leaves ! and beautiful trees co-0|>erate with Tree Warden Playdon in his crusade against the moth*. He has begun the work of cleaning the trees in the streets from nests, and his tools will later l>e at the disposal of private parties under arrangements which cannot fail to l>e satisfactory to everybody concerned.

The good time given to the boys of the Republican Campaign club, on Tuesday evening, made a fitting close to their work in the campaign. They have been a well drilled and well be- haved company, reflecting credit upon the cause they were supporting, upon the officers who so ably led them, and Upon the town which very generously supported them.

Boys, read those smoking statistic in another column ! They tell you in no uncertain way the thing not to do to get up to football size and condition.

An Interesting Thanksgiving Gathering.

Few households in Andover, if indeed there are many in the entire land where Thanksgiving anniversaries are known, could gather such a line of children, grand children, and great grand children as were included yesterday in the family of D«a. W. C. Donald. Thirty-four members of the Donald family were num- bered, and among them were six great grand children, four of whom were born in Japan. In two of the gatherings four generations were represented. Dea. Donald is in his H9th year and is still in the enjoyment of splendid health and vigor.

FIRE LADDIES DANCE The Annual Dance of the Fire Engine

Company a Great Success.

Following the custom of years past the Andover Steam Fire Engine Company held their annual dance on Thanks- giving eve, Wednesday, in the Town hall. The doors opened at ~.;IU, and it was not long before the hall was comfortably filled with local and visiting tiremeii and their friends. Shortly after eight the entertainment commenced, coiitdstiug of moving pictures and illustrated songs, given by the Howard Com- pany ofBoston. These were especially good and much favorable comment was heard.

Promptly at nine o'clock the grand march was started, led by Frank M. Smith and Miss Keua Smith, with Lieu- tenant and Mrs. Charles >. Buchan following. About SO couples joined in the march, and went through the various figures. Dancing was then taken up anil enjoyed by nearly 800 people until one o'clock, when the dancers wended their way home to obtain a few hours' sleep preparatory to the day's happen- ings.

Undoubtedly this was one of the best dances ever given by the company and the most orderly. While the dancers were mostly from the home town, Law- rence was well represented,-as was Me- Umeu. North Andover, and Reading. ■Among the visiting firemen were guests from Maiden, istt>neham, Methuen, Waketield. Heading, Lawrence, North Andover and Ballardvale.

Very excellent music was furnished by Thome** orchestra, consisting of eight pieces. The order was very long, including twenty-four regular numbers and several extras. (Quadrilles were numerous, but a number of waltzes, two- steps, schottisches, and the like, were also included.

For the first time in the history ot the firemen's ball supper was dispensed with, it being deemed best to omit this portion of the program for this year at least, and instead ice cream and cake were on sale in the lower ihall by Thus. K. Rhodes, where it was served at intermission, which took place at about eleven o'clock. After refreshments everyboby sought the hall once more, where dancing was resumed with renewed zest.

The floor director and officials who did so much to make the affair so sue* cessfid were:

Floor director, Captain \V. I. Morse; aids, Ul Lieutenant (.'. A. Morse, 2nd Lieutenant C S. Buchan, Clerk G. C. Dunne I Is, F. M. Smith, <;. C. Foster, T. H. Bent ley, Ira Buxton, F. E. Morse, J.

Her extended residence in Southern India enables her to give with accuracy and interest in the form 'of a continuous story the autobiography of a Hindu child, wife and ^mother. She takes her audiences behind the scenes into the home life of this fascinating people, in a presentation of facts which the late Pre*. John Henry Barrows of Oberlin describes as "accurate, interesting and instructive." Mrs. Burnell spoke in town some years since and will be heard again with interest by those who listened to her then. The impersonation is commended in the highest terms by Dr. Cad man of Brooklyn, Pres. Hopkins of Williams, Prof. Saunders of Vale and many others.

Mrs. Burnell is well known in this town having lectured here before. She is a sister of Rev. Herbert L. W. Snell, well known to many Andover people as a student in Phillips Academy, and the Theological Seminary.

Fire in Scotland tftstrict.

The fire department was called to the old Caldwell place in Scotland district on Monday afternoon to extinguish a fire which had started on the roof of the house.

The alarm was rung in from box 23 by William Carter at half past one and in 15 minutes the first piece of apparatus was on the scene.

The house was only slightly damaged a few shingles being burnt off. It is fortunate however that more serious damage was not done as there was a strong west wind blowing at the time and water is very scarce. A bucket brigade was formed by several of the neighbors and the fire was out before the apparatus reached the scene.

The house is occupied by John Cross and Albert A. Gilson, farm laborers. The fire was caused by burning shavings coming through the chimney and land- ing on the roof.

An Old Fashioned Social.

The Ladies' Aid society of the Baptist church iield an old fashioned social in the vestry last Friday evening. A large number attended and every one had an enjoyable time.

The entertainment consisted of a spelling match, prizes being awarded. There was also a corn popping contest, and games were played. Parley Gilbert gave a reading which was much appreciated by all. Refreshments of buttered pop-corn and apples were served.

Annual Thanksgiving Sale.

The annual Thahksgiving sale conducted by the Women's Guild of Christ church was held in the Parish house on Tuesday, between the hours of 11 and IS a. m., and J and 5 p. in.

The sale was one of the most successful, if not the most successful ever held by the Guild. The patronage was larger than anticipated and the sum realized by the sale was more than gratifying to those in charge.

The tables and room were tastefully decorated with colors appropriate to the Thanksgiving season, yellow being the predominating color. Evergreen en- twined added to the effect.

From the time the sale started to its close, purchasers were numerous and it was not long before most of the articles were disposed of.

Tea was served during the afternoon by Mrs. Frederic l'almer in one corner, and the various tables were situated in appropriate positions around the room.

The tables and those in charge were as follows: Thanksgiving, Mrs. Frank E. (jleason, Mrs. Men jam in Tut tie, Mrs. Harry Kames, Miss Lucia Merrill, Mrs. Fred W. Higgins; candy, Mrs. F. Q. Knight, Mrs. K. W. Pitman, Mrs. E. A. Baldwin; mystery, Mrs. A." E. Hulme, Mrs. William Jewett, Miss Mary Poor.

It is hoped by the committee in charge that next year there will be more goods for saie as this year the demand exceeded the supply.

Is Smoking Injurious to Growth?

' The above question has often been raised and answered in the ;illirin;uive by many. Strong evidence that it is, is furnished by the statistics of classes in the gymnasium at Phillips Academy last winter. The report says:

"The results of 222 men after the gym nasiurn work latsc-wiwter when examined showed the following in regard fo smokers and non-smokers. Of these men IK) were smokers and 132 were non-smokers.

"Average gain in weight of smokers, 5 4-10 pounds.

under Auspices of King's Daughters.

Obituary.

Should the weather prove stormy on Fri- day, unsold articles can be purchased on Saturday, but the Carnival of the upper Town hall can be seen in its perfection on Friday only. The holidays that will be represented are January I, February 14, February 'i'l, duly 4, November 24, December 25. In the evening the Phil- lips Academy orchestra will play and the fancy marching chorus of nine young ladies in fetching costumes which was so much enjoyed at the niiiistrel show will be repeated. During the afternoon Baled and ice cream will be sold, and from 5 (.clock on the following supper will be served on the right side of the hall. These dishes are home made, prepared by some of the best cooks in Andover.

and on the left of the hall will repay "close inspection. One booth has the

This booth has also a com- pletewloye counter wiili an expert titter iii oblige. You cau buy your winter M'pplyjust-as satisfactorily as in Boston and save the car fare. Filene's washable French kid gloves,every pair warranted!

After dark Santa L'laus is expected with his patfk TuTfT, and what the Christina* tree can't hold will be arranged in the booth. You can buy- aprons galore, kimona«, ironing board covers, holders, sofa pillows, cake, pie, vegetables, preserves, grape juice, candy of ah kinds, Indian blankets (only three left), necessities and luxuries tor the outer and inner man.

AH this in the upper hall, and in the lower hall something never before seen in Andover, Lawrence or Haverhill, though it has been in Lowell, Maiden and Heading of towns in this vicinity— the International doll collection. In other places where it has been the room has been crowded for four days. One hurried visit is not enough to appreciate it. It can 6e studied again and again and something new found each time. Some dolls are crude, some are elegant, but each one has been the object of tender child love either in the frozen North, the tropics, the extreme Aluetian Is- lands, China and Japan or midway between these far away places. Each doll has a history. One was given by Queen of Roumania, another by Queen IJIIiuo- kalani, here Is an Apache papoose, and there Is a doll presented by the prime minister of Austria. IMscilla Alden la the Massachusetts doll. Here are dolls from South America, Labrador, Island of Alton ,dolls from Damascus, Fiji Islands, Jerusalem, Portugal, Sandwich Islands, Zanzibar and several other countries in the picturesque and curious costume of each nation. There are dolls of wood and wax, rags, corn-husks, peanuts, soap, brooms, potatoes, sponges, paper, for they come from barbarous and half civilized countries as well as civilized countries. No description short of a complete catalogue can give an idea of the extent and unique charm of this exhibit. Odd as it may seem this collection of dolls has a fascinating interest for men, and they come time and time again to see it. This collection is more than an exhibition of the playthings of child- hood. Parents and teachers as well as children should see it. It is of great interest to the antiquarian, and the student of races as well as those interested in the study of child life. Take plenty of time. Do not glance at it and pass on, but study it.

Admission, 25 cents. Children under 12, ten cents. Children specially invited from 10 to 12 Saturday a. m. Doll collection open Friday afternoon and evening, and Saturday from 10 to 5.

ONLY MAKES A BAD MATTER WORSE.

Perhaps you have never thought of it but the fact must be apparent to every one that constipation is caused by a lack of water in the system, and the use of drastic cathartics like the old fashioned pills only makes a bad matter worse. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab- lets are much more mil 1 and gentle in their effect, and when the proper dose is taken their action is so natural that one can hardly realize it is the effect of a medicine. Try a 25 cent bottle of them. For sale by all druggists, Lawrence, W. A. Allen, Andover; C. II. Shattuck, Ballardvale.

JAMES HAGGERTY.

Shortly before midnight last Saturday James Haggerty passed away at his home on North Main street, death being due to heart failure. Mr. Haggerty had been in failing health for some time, but it was not thought by his family that death's summons wcu'd come so soon. He had been confined to his bed but a short time.

Mr. Haggerty was born in Ireland t'.0 years ago and has resided in Andover about one half of his life.

He was well aiill favorably known throughout the town for his straight- forward ami uptight citizenship and was highly respected by all who knew him. Some years ago his wife passed away and since that time he has lived with his family on North Main street.

The funeral was held on Tuesday morning at nine o'clock from St. Augus- tine's church where many relatives and friends gathered to pay their last re- spects to the deceased. The ceremony was conducted by liev. Fr. McGowan.

The hearers were all lifelong friends of Mr. Haggerly and were: Cornelius Sweeney, Patrick Daly, Michael Stack, John Schofield and Henry AIIicon. In- terment was in St. Augustine's cemetery.

He is survived by seven children, .Nellie, Kate, Mrs. Claude Miner, Mrs. Nelligan, Mrs, O'Connor, William and James.

JANE PHELPS..

Miss Jane Phelps, for many years one of Amltfier's most esteemed r^si- citnts, but »f late living in Winchester, died at the latter place Saturday in her, fc.th year. , The* body., was brdugrrt tT Andover today. ■

Miss Phelps was born in Andover before Abbot academy had been established and when Phillips Andover was- a comparatively young educational institution. She received her education' in the'pretty town and lTCeu"" "to see it grow into one of the leading educational centres of the New England states. All her life was passed there at the old Phelps homestead until within a few years, when advancing age began to tell on her and she was forced to leave the home of a lifetime and went to live with her nephew. Rev. George Gutterson of Winchester.

She was a communicant of the Old South church, whose memlers held a warm regard and affection for her. and her passing will leave a sense of loss that will be more than temporary.

The family was one of the best known in Andover. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. George Gutterson, a niece. Miss Clara Gutterson, both of Nor- wood, and two nephews, Rev. George Gutterson mentioned above and M. M. E. (Jutterson, well known as a member of the firm of Gutterson A Gonld of Lawrence.

Funeral services were held at 3..10 o'clock Monday afternoon from the Old South church. Rev. F. R. Shipman officiated.

Interment took place in the Old South cemetery.

Friday, January 0 — The Schubert Male Quartet ami Curtis Morse, entertainer.

Tuesday, Jauuar., IT - F. Hopkinson Smith, readings Jroin his own books.

Friday, February \i — The Colonial Orchestral Club of Boston, with Miss Maude Fowler, reader.

Tuesday,'February 14—Dr. D. F. Fox of Chicago, lecture on . "A Neglected Cavalier."

The above is the brief story of the proposed work of the Punchard alumni in entertainments for this winter

Last year's course seemed to fill a need and the public responded generously, so that the course was a success in every way. Many inquiries have been .made to the leading Puuchard alumni concerning a similar course this year and they have responded with the above interesting program and ask for a still more liberal support than last year. The course will mean an outlay of over five hundred dollars, and a canvass for sub- scribers will be made the next few days, in order that a sufficient number may agree to take tickets and thus protect the association. If any are omitted by the canvassers they are asked to leave their names at the Andover Bookstore before Saturday, December 3.

The Schubert Male Quartet and Miss Fowler gave such complete satisfaction last year that no program was considered complete without them this year. They are to be assisted by one of Boston's cleverest entertainers, and the opening night is thus guaranteed to provide a program of the highest order.

F. Hopkinson Smith — one might almost say "that's all" in announcing the second night's entertainment. His paintings and writings would either make him famous and there are those w ho say that he is greater as a lecturer than in any of his other many fortes; surely the second evening is an assured treat.

The Colonial Orchestral Club is composed of ladies who are musicians of high rank and is a great Andover favorite. Miss Fowler, the reader, will help to make the third evening a success.

The last entertainment will be a lecture by Dr. Fox of Chicago, said to be good by such men as Dr HIll's, ami full of promise as a fitting close for a most entertaining course.

The tickets for the course will be $1.50 and the committee hopes to sell at least four hundred with the preliminary canvass.

Wedding.

WELCH—SAULNIER. The marriage of William L. Welch, I

son of Mr. anil Mrs. Patrick Welch of Summer street and Miss Alma E. j Saulnier, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ! Adolphus Saulnier, took place in New- i buryport, the iatter's borne, on Thurs- day, November third. The ceremony I was performed in the presence of rela I tives and friends of the contracting parties by Rev. Fr. J. L. M. Luesque.

Mr. Welch is well known both in this I town ami in Lawrence, where he is in the furniture business. Mis. Welch is a dressmaker and has a host of friends | here.

KELLY—WILLIAMSON. A quiet wedding was solemnized by |

the Rev. Fr. McGowiui at S o'clock this ' morning in St. Augustine's church, when Miss Noja P. Williamson, daughter of Mrs. Margaret Williamson of 54 VliifjjJ street and Peter Kelley of Winooslsg^Ji were united in wedlock.

Miss Annie Rooney was bridesmaid while Frank Mooney acted as best man.

A wedding breakfast fnllowed at the home of the bride's mo^er.

Mr. and Mrs. Kelley will reside in Winooski.

ROUGH RIDERS BANQUETTED Republican Town Committee Entertained

the Company Last Tuesday Evening

A bamjuet vw tendered the Hough Hitlers' campaign club by the members of the Republican Town committee in Pilgrim hall on Tuesday evening.

The company assembled at their usual meeting place at 7 >'I0 and headed by the Ballardvale Drum corps inarched through several of the streets of the town. The company \tas in command of Captain Henderson and his full staff of officers. The full company was present.

At about KvSD the company marched up to Pilgrim hall and took seats at the tables prepared for them by Caterer Rhodes. Captain Hendersoi) occupied the chair at the head of the first table and Lieutenant Pasho was at the head of the second. The Republican town committee were seated at the center of the head table and the Ballardvale Drum (orps, as specially invited guests, occupied reserved seats at the second table.

< hairman John N. Cole called the boys to "idei and invited them to eat their till and afterward enjoy a social timci The boys then partook of the following menu; lobster salad, rolls, coffee, sultana roll, lady fingers, cake and macaroons.

After the supper the Ballardvale Drum Corps favored the gathering with Beveral selections. The corps is composed of amateur musicians and they play together beautifully.

Several members of the company contributed vocal selections, Joseph IJoyd being especially prominent. Recitations from Cutter Foster were well received, much applause being given.

Dancing was enjoyed for some time to music furnished by the Drum corps.

Captain Henderson then called the company together and spoke a few- words. He said that since the company was organized he had given much time to it and that the boys had aided him much iu making a good company. He said that wherever they went they were well received and received compliments from officers in charge of the various parades. In disbanding he said that in ashoit time a regular militia company would be formed in town when drills would be held and rifle teams organized and a drum corps formed, eventually turning into and joining the state militia. He warned the boys that only upright, able-bodied men would be allowed to join and hoped that no one in the company would be refused. He hoped that arrangements could be made to hold a rifle shoot on Christmas day.

Chairman John N. Cole then said a few words to the boys hoping that they had enjoyed being in the company as much as the committee had enjoyed having them iu it. He commended the project of a militia company and hoped that it would be a successful movement. He hoped, however that the training that they would receive from it would train them to be upright, honest citizens rather than lighters. He said that it did not matter so much whether they were republicans or democrats ifflfliey were men that the town, state and country could be proud of. He,felt sure however, that if the young men would study the republican principles and investigate the achievements of the republican party they would doubt join the ranks. v

In closing the company gave three long cheers for Captain Henderson and the Republican town committee and then all sang "Auld Laug Syne."

The Excavations at Corinth.

There was a large number of people present at Prof. Richardson's lecture last Friday night, in the dining hall of Phillips Academy. His subject was. "The Excavations at Corinth" and he gave an interesting outline of his work there, illustrated by over fifty stereopticon slides.

He described very vividly the work of the excavations and the character of the ruins uncovered. He said that a main road has been found running through the town and evidently leading down to the harbor of the town; many shops and public buildings have been found and one of the first to be found was the theatre from which the excavators following the account given in Pausanias' works, found many other buildings and several interesting pieces of sculpture and pottery.

Temperance Meeting-.

A temperance meeting will be held under the auspices of the Indian Ridge lodge of Good Templars in the Free church on Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. The address will be given by Rev. Dr. C. W. Hidden of Newburyport, who is famous for 1 is temperance work.

Quoiting. »

The second round of the Quoiting tournament was held on the Cricket Club grounds last Saturday alternoon when some very good games wer»i played.

Probably the most, exciting and inter- ng was the one played between Alex-

ander Lamont and James Ramsay. From the start it looked as though Mr. Ramsay would have an easy time of it, but as the game proceeded Mr. Lamont nip roved and won by a score of 31 to 17.

Mr. Ramsay had made eight points before his opponent had made any and the former was 11 when the latter was 1. On the 15th pitch the score stood 14 to 10 and on the 17th pitch the score was even.

Tigers 6; Reading V. M. C. A. 6.

The Tigers played the Heading V. M. G, A. laM. Saturday afternoon in Reading. It was one cf the fastest games played there this season. The Tigers were handicapped by the absence of two of their best backs, Anderson and Seacole, but in spite of this they played a very snappy game against a team 40 pounds heavier. The Reading team played rather an ungentlemanly game, fighting and slugging at every opportunity.

The features of the game were the tackling and rushing of Abbot and Barton for the Tigers and Nowell's HO vard dash through centre for a touchdown Mulkeen kicked the goal. Burtt scored a touchdown for the Tigers. IHofcey iicked the goai. "icore rt-fl.

Andover Tigers, » I St. Joseph's A. A.,

A crowd of 1000 assembled at Varick park, Manchester, X. II., yesterday afternoon, and witnessed the second football game of the day, the rival teams being the eleven of the St. Joseph's high school athletic association and the Andover Tigers. The game waa hard, rough and marred by frequent fumbles. On a punt quarterback Sullivan fumbled the ball, which went over the St. Joseph's goal line. In attempting to carry it out he was thrown by Mctiuire behind the goal line, which counted two points for An- dover. This constituted all of the points made. The ground waa muddy anil slippery, which in a large meaaura ac- counted for the looseness of the playing.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL Qulncy 1; Andover o.

In one of the most exciting and hard fought games of football contested in by local players, the (Juincy team succeeded in defeating the Andover team last Saturday by a score of 1 to 0.

From the first whistle to the close of the game every inch of the ground was hotly contested and for some time neither side could get the ball between the posts. Qulncy did prove fortunate however and succeeded iu making ,one point. This ended the scoring for the day.

The local team can justly feel proud of holding the Ojuincy team down to one point as they are an exceptionally' strong organization.

BLUE BEARD'S 500th ANNIVER SARY.

The five hundredth anniversary of. the bit th of "Blue Heard'' took place on Oct. .10. "Blue Beard" was a real man. and the so-called fairy story is true in all la essential details. "Blue Beard" was Baron Gllles de Rais, an enormously rich Breton nobleman, who

' fought with u 1st I net ton under th.- banner of Jeanne d'Arv and was Mar- shal of France at the age of twenty- live. After the war he plunged into the wildest dissipation. His great fortune was largely increased hv the dower of his first witV. Catherine de Thouars. His favorite diversion was murdering babies and dabbhr.g in their blood. The church caused hia arrest and trial. He was condemned and was hanged at Nantes, but was converted in prison and his last wo-efs were to implore the forgiveness of those whose families he had decimate 1 fey murder.-

"Why, how could you break your engagement with Jack?"

"We were seasick together."—Life.

*SvnVson Favors New Party. n Q statement on the recent election,

given to the presif at New York last week, Thomas E. Watson, the Popu- list candidate for president, attributes the Republican tidal wave to Mr. Roosevelt's personal popularity and to hatred of the second Cleveland mlmlii-

' Istratlon. Mr. Watson said his plans I contemplated the formation of an in-

dependent party of Jeffersonian prin- | clples to oppose the Republicans In

1008. He thought reform by the Dem- ocratic party now hopeless. He said Bryan could neither control that party

j nor bolt from it. The Bryanites and ! plutocrats exhausted their, strength

with Internal struggles, "leaving the party where the enemy can always defeat It at the polls."

Peabody Claims Election. Governor Peabody of Colorado has

Issued a statement to the people of the state, expressing confidence that he had fairly and honestly been re- elected and charging that great out- rages had been attempted In Denver', as well as In other counties. This has greatly excited the Democrats, who freely talk of resorting to arms.

Roossvelt'a Negro Policy. A friend of President Roosevelt

who called at the White House gave to the press his idea of the president's real attitude toward the negro. Ac- cording to this statement, the president la In favor of according the negro equal rights with the whites as to education and employment, but does not and never did favor social equality for the negro. It Is hoped that the president's policy may IM> better understood, now that he Is no longer a candidate.

| Socialists Challenge Republican*. In commenting on the enormous In-

crease in the Socialist vote, estimated to be over 500 per cent since 1900, the New York Worker says that the overwhelming defeat of the Democracy is good because it will draw clear the lines between the Republicans as the party of capitalism and the Socialists as the party of the workers "In spite of all efforts to galvanize the Demo- cratic corpse into life."

Senatorial Privilege Rebuked. President Roosevelt has admlnls-

j tered a sharp rebuke to Congressman | Gardner of Massachusetts, a son ln- ; law of Senator Lodge, who claimed j the privilege of selecting the post-

master at Haverhlll. The president politely Informs the congressman that while he always consults senators and members about the appointment of

I postmasters the selection Is his, not theirs.

Judge Parker's Shingle Out. Alton B. Parker, the defeated Demo-

cratic candidate, has removed to New

York, where he has opened a law office Independently. Already he has beeii named as a coramlsaioner of estimate to acquire city dock properties. The compensation Is $10 a day.

Legal and Criminal.

Ths Nan Patterson Trial. Nan Patterson, the actress accused

of the murder of Caesar Young, was brought to trial Nov. 1*5 at New York. She was accompanied by her aged father and appeared to be self possessed while the slow process of selecting a Jury went on. The defense claimed to have found a new witness who would testify to having seen Young shoot himself.

Weinseimer'e Sentence.

Philip Welnselmer, former president of the Building alliance of New York, who last mouth was convicted of ex- tortion, was sentenced Nov. 15 to an indeterminate sentence of not more than one year and eight Months nor more than two years aud eight mouths In Sing Sing prison.

Keeps Capital Punishment. By a vote of 153 to 83 the Vermont

house of representatives has defeated the bill to abolish capital punishment In the state.

Banker Lewiaohn Must Answer. By the decision of the New York

court of appeals Jesse Lewtsobn, the wealthy banker of New York city, will be required to answer the questions of the district attorney regarding his presence la the gambling house of Richard Canfleld or else serve a term in prison. His refusal to testify formed a legal barrier against the successful prosecution of the case against Canfleld by District Attorney Jerome. The decision is based on the theory that the new Dowllng law, which prevents witnesses from refusing to testify on the ground of self Incrlmlnation, Is not in violation of the constitution. This objection Is met by the citing of another statute, which forbids the prosecution of a witness for any matter he might testify about.

Graft Charges at Pittsburg. Formal charges of graft against two

Pittsburg aldermen and eight con- stables for receiving money for. the protection of Illegal resorts have been made Jjy. aji Allegheny .county detec- tive. Warrants were Issued.

Newspaper Boycott Unlawful. * The United States supreme court has

affirmed the decision of the 'supreme oourt of Wisconsin In the case arising from, the alleged combination, of .the Milwaukee Sentinel, News and Evening Wisconsin against the Journal of that city to affect advertising rules. This decision as declared by Justice Holmes upholds the validity of the Wisconsin antitrust law and makes it applicable to this case. The objectionable agreement by combined papers was to the effect that If any advertiser should pay the increased rate charged by the Jour- nal such advertiser would not be allowed to use any of the other three mediums. Justice Holmes said this came under the category of malicious mischief and was therefore a fit subject for legislative repression. He said, "It would be Impossible to hold that the liberty to combine to Inflict such mischief, even upon such Intangibles as business or reputation, was among the rights which the fourteenth amendment was Intended to preserve." Justice White dissented.

Foreign.

England's Royal Visitors. King Charles and Queen Amelia of

Portugal, accompanied by the minister of foreign affairs and suit, arrived at Portsmouth. England, Nor. 15, and went at once to Windsor castle to return the visit paid by King Edward last year. They were expected to remain in England about three weeks. A treaty of arbitration between Portugal a,nd Great Britain Is to be concluded.

Bertreaux Succeeds Andre. The French ministry of war passed

from the hands of General Andre Nov. 15 to thoee of Henry M. Bertreaux, a Radical Socialist, whose business is that of a stockbroker. After the dis-

graceful scenes of Nov. 4, when Min- ister Andre was assaulted In thechai.i ber of deputies by M. Syvetou, it was only a question of time when M. An- dre would retire, as a vote of confl- detice had !>een secured by only a majority of two. Several duels between the friends and enemies of Andre occurred at Paris on the 12th.

Czar Upholds Reform Minister. The attempt of the reactionary lead-

ers in Russia to scare Czar Nicholas Into ordering a postponement of the zemstvos conference scheduled to meet at St. Petersburg Nov. 10 failed. This was regarded as the crucial test of strength for the new minister of the interior, Prince Sviatopolk-Mlrsky. This conference Is the first assembling of representatives of the zemstvos from all parts of Russia. A zemstvo Is the local lawmaking body of the districts into which the several provinces of Russia are divided. Hereto- fore the representatives of the zemstvos have been appointed by the minister. It will now l>e proposed that the representatives be selected by the local bodies. I'nder Mirsky the extremely repressive measures of Da Plehve have been largely relaxed.

Chinese Rebels Successful. A message from Shanghai Nov. 10

reported the capture of the five principal towns of Kwangsl province, southern China, by the rebels, the Imperial troops being repulsed. This Is the rebellion which started several months ago and was said to have been suppressed.

Anglo-French Treaty Ratified. By a vote of 443 to 105 the French

chamber of deputies on the 12th ratified the colonial treaty of arbitration between England and France. The effect of this treaty is to terminate French sover- eignty over the Newfoundland shore and to put the friendly feeling between the two countries in- to concrete form. No opposition to speak of was ex-

Mlnlster Delcasse. pected In the senate. The outcome is regarded as a great triumph for Fosjflgn Minister Delcasse.

Hitch In NortS Sea Treaty. - A difference developed between Great

Britain and Russia as to the wording.„ of the article on responsibility in the North sea convention. Russia thinks that the inquiry should be confined to the question,, of fact about the. torpedo boats.

The British government Inquiry Into the North sea affair began at Hull Nov. 15, Vice Admiral Bridge presiding. The fishermen summoned as witnesses denied that any arms or war supplies had been carried on their vessels.

Japanese Loan a Success. The new Japanese $«W>,000,000 loan

had been oversubscribed many times when the lists closed at London and New York. It is understood that the Russians have also completed arrangements for a $250,000,000 loan at Berlin.

Signs of a Business Boom Clesr the track, say the captains of Industry, for the great Inter

national race, with the world's markets as the stakes. Aft .;■ a presidential campaign In which business operations were

less dls'urbed than ever before, as Secretary Shaw anld at the New York i 'hamber of Commerce banquet last week, the press reports from the great Industrial centers contain many Indications of a forward move ment. Business men, regardless of party affiliations, appear to be reassured by the prospect of an unchanged administration and their faith In setting the wheels going at Increased speed.

The Pennsylvania, Reading, New York Central and all the other great trunk lines have reinstated thousands of employees who were dropped when business was dull and have given extensive orders for new cars and locomotives. Many Idle mills have resumed and others are getting up steam. Bar Iron went up $2 last week and orders in all lines of trade which were contingent before election have now been con firmed.

Not even the reported Intention of the new administration to probe the trusts, beginning with the biggest of all, Standard Oil, was a dis- turbing factor of any consequence In the speculative market, where prices ruled generally higher.

THE MAN WHO DIDN'T GET SEVEN WITH BEN BUTLER.

Atty. S. f>. Haliday of this city related the cither day an Incident recalled to hiin'bv the candidacy of Cady Her- rlck.

During the first administration Pres Cleveland appointed a board of arbitration to decide the case of Strong against the District of Columbia, 'xm members of the board were Judge Her- rick, Attorney N. W. Phillips of Wash- ington and Haliday. The leading lawyer for Strong was Gen. B. F. Butler. Phillips, however, did not act, for tibia reason.

After the capture of New Orleans by the Union army In the civil war, Gen. Butler was placed in command of the. city. During his administration h* thought it expedient to arrest those who displayed most offensively their hatred of the Union troops.

Among those whom he had imprls. oned was a woman who had incited h-r son to spit upou a Union soldier. This toman cherished a deep hatred of Ger Rutler because of his treatment of her and vowed that she would get even with him. Each year upon the anniversary of her arrest she wrote him a

' letter to show him that she Was stia alive, implaer.bie as ever In her hatred of him. and that she stll' Intended tc avenge herself upon him. Naturally enough, such persistent am.

moslty caused Gen. Butler some concern, and he was not a little perturbed when he discovered that the Phillips on the board of arbitration was the so:, of the woman who hated him. Remem- bering her threats, he applied at once to the president to have Phillips r,.. moyed from the board.

The president refused to remove hill on the ground that Phillips was a com' petent young lawyer, full of ability and that he did not appear to be a dangerous man. Neither Gen. Butler's protests nor the Influence of his friends could induce the president to ask Mr, Phillips for his resignation. Inasmn-h as the general and the chief executive were political opponents and were not the best of friends, one may easily imagine that Cleveland might not be Inclined to sympathize with Butler in the matter. "

Gen. Butler was much worried ov- • his case. Imagine his delight when r- llef came, and that from the most un- locked for source; Phillips was owin - perhaps to his southern rearing th" soul of honor, and In a letter to Pr»« Cleveland he expressed his regret at being unable to serve on the board because, he said, he would be unable' to give on unbiased decision In any c is» In which Butler was Interested.

The funeral of Albert Oauvin, the victim of Saturday afternoon's drowning accident in the Spicket river, was held Tuesday afternoon. He was aged six years and was the oldest" child and only boy of Mr. and Mrs. Alkert F. Oauvin,

The obsequies were set for 3 o'clock but before thiit hour many of the neighbors, relatives and friends cal.ed at the .family home, 13 Oleason street, to express their sympathy for the bereaved parents. The body reposed in a handsome light colored casket and many floral tokens told of the deep sympathy felt for the bereaved ones. The boy was one of the brightest !n the neighborhood and about everyone in that vicinity had a great deal of affection for him. There were many manifestations of grief. Burial took place In the Immaculate cemetery. Be- sWes the parents three sisters survive.

METHUEN BOY DROWNED IN THE SPICKET RIVER.

A sad drowning accident occurred in Methuen Saturday when little Alb<:it Gauvln, aged si* year., son of Mr. and Mrs Albert F. Gauvtn of 13 Gleason street, lost his life. The body was recovered Sunday afternoon.

A peculiar feature of the affair WM that It was not known until yesterday what had happened to the lad. He had gone down to the Sptcket river near Gleason street with several compan- ions and after a while the other children returned without him. They seemed much disturbed but wou'd make no reply when questioned. Fin- ally they weakened and yesterday afternoon to'.d that Albeit had drowned, showing where he had sunk. The body was soon recovered and taken to the home of the grief-stricken parents after having been in the water for 24 hours.

The dead hoy was a bright little 'ei- low and popular ith his playmates. His father Is a well known printer who was formerly in the employ of the Eagle but is now with the Methuen Transcript. Funeral -services Were held at 3 o'clock Tuesday and Inter- ment took place In the Immac- ulate cemetery.

METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS TRANSFERRED TODAY.

The pupils of the Methuen High school were Wednesday transferred from their quarters in the old East building to the new Educational building recently presented to the town by

Mr. Edw. F. Searles. The building has apparently been ready for occupancy for some time but certain details were not complete and it was inadvisable to occupy it until the present time.

The prevailing question about town for the oast three months has teen "When is the new high school building to be opened?" No one seemed (u know and. If they did, they were apparently' bound to secrecy.

Monday next the High school will assemble In the new building as a school and on that day the first recitations will be conducted there- To- day was simply moving day. School work begins Monday and a new era In Methuen school life win be inaugui- ated.

I ANOTHER WOMAN SOLDIER.

86th BIRTHDAY.

Mrs. Abigail S. Kennison. one of Methuen's oldest and best known residents, observed her S6th birthday at her home In this town Saturday. Many friends called. In the evening a reception was held for relatives and friends. Refreshments were served.

Mrs. Kenlson Is in good health and unusually active for a woman of her age. Her eyesight and hearing are good and her memory has not failed her In the least.

Mrs. Kenlson was born in Methuen in the section known as Marsh Corner, Nov. ly.NsiS, and, has always resided there. She was the daughter of Eze- kiel and Abigail S. Clark, and one of a family of 13 children, six of whom are still living. She was married Oct. 12. 1848, to George W. Kenlson of Cor- nish, N. H. Five children were bor.i to them, three of whom,, are living. They are Charles-W. Kenlson, starter for the Boston and Northern street railway company at Arlington; Asa S. Kenlson, rural free delivery carrier in, Methuen. and Miss Susan A. Kenisor,-' who lives at home. Mrs. Kenison's husband died 13 years ago.

Mrs. Kenlson has been a member of the Methodist church for, 65 years and is the only living one of those who helped to form It. She was an active worker and. regular attendant unlit she became advanced in years. She has a host of friends whose best wishes she has for continued health and comfort in her old age.

The St. Petersburg illustrated journal Neva publishes an interview which its war correspondent has had at Muk- den railway station with the soldier who is serving In the Russian army under the masculine name of Michael Nlcholatevitch.

Michael Nlcholaievitch is, in fact, however, not a mun ,but a women. "His" real name is Helen Smolko.

Mile. Smolko Is the daughter of a shopkeeper at Nikolik-Usaurl. She learned Chinese as a child from her father's Chinese employees. Her nunv was a Manchu.

She has a sister, but no brother, but her tastes have always been decidedly masculine. At 8 she could ride and shoot. At 18 she entered the servlc* at? an Interpreter. During the war with china she was attached to ih" ambulance, but with her knowledge of languages and her active nature she yearned for more exciting occupation.

When the present war broke, out she SFcured an appointment as interpreter with the sotnia of Cossacks command- ed by Col. Vechniaokoff and was employed in scouting work between Liao- J'ang and Kuandianslan. In du.1

ccurse she was presented to Gen. 'Sennenkampf, who enrolled her in his division as a volunteer without pay. Slnre then she has worn the Uni- form of the Cossacks and has take-i part in several engagements. -Once when engaged in scouting with Prince Karageorgevltch and some troopei a, she got separated from the rest of the scouting party and lost^her way In a forest, not being found by the Coir sacks sent to look for her till. f\ hours later. *

She Is a tireless horsewoman, thinking nothing of riding 80 versts. :.t a stretch, and handles both the rlffe and the sword admirably.

HISTORICAL AND IMPROVEMENT SOCIETIES MEET.

To Cure a Cold in One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. All druggist* refund the money if it fails to cure. fi. W. Grove's signature is on each l»nx 25c.

A meeting of the Methuen Historical society was held Monday night at the rooms In the Waldo house, and following the meeting, a special meeting of the Methuen Improvement society was held at the same place to discuss the browM, tall moth question. Presi- dent J. S. Howe presided at the His- torical society meeting. One new member was voted In. A gift of a pin cushion 84 years old was received from Mrs. Merrill. After the routine business was transacted the president J. S. Howe read a vary Interesting paper on the old Middlesex canal, which ran from the Charles river to Hooksett N. H., thus connecting Boston with New Hampshire by a waterway. The paper was full of interesting information. Chester Hutchlns entertained with musical selections.

At the close of the Historical society meeting the Improvement society, which had met in the Tenney building, but adjourned to the Waldo house on account of the other meeting, was called to order, and the brown tall moth was discussed. Among those that took part in the discussion were: Trre Warden Alfred Wagland, George W. Tenney. J. S. Howe, Jacob Emerson, E. A. Archibald and others. It was the concensus of opinion that action should be taken at once to destroy the pest, which promises to do much damage in this town next year unless something is done to prevent. To better accomplish the desired purpose it was voted that a committee of three be appointed to act with the tre? warden, with full power to expend what money the Improvement society ha**, and what the tree warden may be willing to use for that purpose In ex- terminating the moth. George W. Ten- r^y was appointed chairman of the committee, and the otner members will be selected later.

It seems that all that can be done is to cut from the trees the curled leaves in which are ' enclosed the moth, in cocoon, and burn them. As each of these leaves contaltHMgton a hundred to five hundred mofrajjit la very necessary that every oneHroould b« ("estrayed. The Improvement society urges that the property owners take, hold of the matter and see to it that the leaves on the trees on their property be destroyed. The committee selected to have charge of the matter will engage experts to work in con- junction with the tree warden in cutting the leaves from the tall trees about the streets.

MORE HENS KILLED.

Sidney Payne, of Oak street has reported to the selectmen that Sunday night 15 of his hens were killed, pre- sumably by the same dog that has been visiting the hen roosts in that part of the town previously. The selectmen will seek to have the county reimburse Mr. Payne for the loss. The dog that is doing the damage has not yet been located.

ENDURANCE IN DANCING.

Rome has recently entered the arena of odd competitions by promot- ing a dancing match, the prizes belnrf awarded to the dancers who made the greatest number of steps In a given time. The records made were certainly astounding, for at the close It way found that a woman had actun'ly danced 28.000 steps, while her neare-t rival, also a woman, had the creditable score of 21,000 steps. It is a tribute to the terpslchorean superir.ilty o: women that the most nimble-footed of the men did not rtacni even 15,000 steps.

In another dancing tournament at Paris M. Vincent and Mile. Sr-herln succeeded in waltzing for six hours and three quarters without a moment's re^t while a Berlin man waltzed for sixteen consecutive hours, from 9 a. in. to 1 o'clock the next morning.

Lord Brampton. better know n as Sir Henry Hawkins, the great English < riminal lawyer, judge and sportsman has Just published his reminiscences. Speaking of what cured him of bet- Ting he relates that Harry Hill, one of the "characters" at Tattersalls. gave him this piece of advice as a youth:

"Mr. Hawkins. I see you come here pretty regularlv on Sunday afternoons, but I advise you not to specu- late among us. for If you do we ahr>'- beat you. We know our business better than you do. and you'll get nothing out of us. any more than w should get out of you if, we were able to dabble in your law. for you know that business better than we »lo."

"My wife worries me. She knows I won 8100 on an election bet, and she hasn't asked me for a cent fit It!"

"Never mind: you'll Jiear from hfr later. She's probably silently working out the best scheme to get the largest possible amount for the least asking.' —Detroit Free Press.

A ribbon year this it! The demand is enormous for all widths and of every kind. Both dressmakers and milliner* are using them for hat and gown trimmings as never before. As for narrow ribbons one Is beginning to realise the marvels that spring up in decor- ative lines when the fingers of a- ribbon artist take hold. Given some chif- fons and narrow ribbons and a flower garden's bloom may be duplicated in the most fairy-like way. Very—

Acceptable Is the return . of thosf* pretty fur cravats, ermine-trimmed ia mink, sealskin, otter, or beaver. The newest of these cravats have double, sometimes triple tab ends, one end being pointed, another rounded, while a third is in sallow-tall finish. They are extremely becoming In all ways, all warm and most desirable worn with coats or jackets that are finished with turnover collars or flat bands. Laces-

Are over-wrought with repousse effects to an astonishing degree, when they belong to that heavy order now so much used by the yard, In wide In- sertions as bands or are fashioned *or motifs, cuffs, and collars. Empiece- ments often require the very wide, lace bands or flounces to construct them. Pale ecru and the deeper blege tones are in vogue still but the white laces are chiefly the present favoritis. White silk laces are much to the fore in reapousse designs of a delicate order and in Chantllly designs as well. The Reason's novelty, however. Is seen in fine laces whose net foundations are In pale colors, blue, mauve or ros1- pink and the design Is either the same tone or of white. Gold laces are in three different shades—the guinea tint, the burnt gold and that very pale gold which is of a gossamer llghteness In effect as trimming. Extremely fashlon- eble are the laces of various widths are they needed for trimming. That-

One Is seeing more gay and whit* intermixed In the still lovely marabout feathers than during last season when its pure whiteness was the fashion '»f the day and rigidly lived up -:o. In millinery, marabout plumes are keeping up with long and short white ca* trlch plumes, the closest kind of a company while both seem to be advan- taged by their Juxtaposition on a hat

Halt's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer one Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send fof a Hit of testimonials. Address

WHAT AMERICANS EAT.

It Is figured out that in 1850 a hundred Americans ate 94 sheep, 118 hogs and 25 beeves, whereas in 1900 they consumed but 50 sheep, 43 hogs and 20 beeves. Cheese has declined, but If eggs and poultry are included wlt*i butter and mflk as belonging to the dairy classythe., consumption of that kind of food is three times what It was forty years ago. In 1850 one hundred persons ate 430 bushels of wheat and 90 bushels of oats. In 1890 thev ate 623 bushels of wheat and 386 bushels of oats, and In 1890 the breakfast food movement was small to what It is to-day. The general gain In vegetable expense is 80 per cent. Meat still leads, although it apparently will not do so long. Americans have grown healthier in the half century whicn has seen this change, probably, however, on account of more air and exercise and better cooking and sanitation.

DIE WHEN EXPOSED TO LIGHT

The cavern beetle was first dlscaVr- cd some 70 years ago In an Austrian cave the grotto of Adelsbero. One specimen only was caught, though iu ulscoverer offered a prize of $26 for another it was 14 years before a second was found. 9

The cavern beetle has aMlttle round body, very long k-gs and absolutely no eyes at all. Hrought out from Its gloomy haunts into light of the sun It dies almost Immediately. Yet in it.s pitch dark home, far beneath the surface of the earth it jnm-es with as great rapidity and certainty as any M its eyed relatives on the upper soli

To make up for its lack of sight, It <a provided with antennae of extraordi- nary length and delicacy. By means of means of these it feels its way over the rough surface of the stone and hunts its prey—other smaller blind Insects- with great rapidity and absolute certainty.

-riThi,(,V('r" beetle has lts enemle*. The blothrus (a species of scorpion> and the great eyeless rplder hunt It re- morselessly.

The spider found In these caves is of a lovely Ivory white, and is able, like other insects which Inhabit the same subterrennean depths, to run very rapidly and find Its way with as positive certainty as if it had eyes and light to use them. Like several of the others It, t(M>, perishes If taken out of the cave. Sunlight seems to wither and shrivel up these Insects, Just as though they had been placed in front of a hot box.

Number of different kinds of fish are known to live In the gloomy rivers and lakes which exist in all large caves.

At San Marcos. Texas, borings were recently made to provide a water supply for some new fresh hatcheries \t a depth of 188 ft. a great stream of water was struck, which shot up at the rate of 1200 gal. a minute. With :t came thousands of tiny, shrimp like creatures, and also a large number of ( tirlous little, pale-colored reptiles. provided with long tails and each having 4 legs. These tiny monsters were absolutely eyeless. The only trac that they ever possessed such organs are two little black spots over the nos- tril.

THE TRI CORNER hAT.

The vogue of the Napoleon, colonial or tri-corner hat .as the peculiar shape I* variously known, is a strenuous one. Rut the shape Is so changed from the original type in the exigencies which beset it in its adaptation to all faces that its oldest friends would often not recognize it. The upturning brim li outstanding, or close to*the crown on one or both sides. It is usually made of felt. Black tops! with white under- brims, or the reverse, are favoiltes. Pale blue felt continentals are assumed by women of matronly proportions who have long passed their girlhood bloom, but who cling to tender shades and to girlish attire.. A hat of this sort, was seen with a striking black and white striped silk gown a^ a fash- 1< nable restaurant dinner, and set off

^ihe snowy tonsure,of Its stately wearer to perfection. A black underbrim facing is chosen for the all-white hat in many instances where Its shadowy sombrentss "throws into relief a pretty complexion. Poke bonnets tied uuder the chin or the ear with tulle or ribbon are /retjuent spectacles. The^e bonnets are made of fur, beaver, felt or velvet. Rose "garniture, feathers and maral mi all deck them.

THE VALUE OF TODAY.

'that and

"I believe." said Senator Hoar, ' to-day Is better than yesterday, that tomorrow will be better than to day."

Contentment and hope* With these two. and no more, we ran solve the riddle of life.

"To-day is better than yesterday!" Believe It, and remorse (lees: regret I* not; and memory becomes whatsit legi- timately should be—a Joy.

Yesterday Is what we made it—and there is no yesterday whl.-n should he perfect In the light of to-day. Where- fore, he thankful that there Is a to-day. and that with it comes the opportunity to build better, nobler and stronger upon the mistakes of yesterday.—Mag- azine of Mysteries.

M03T DELICATE OF INSTRU- MENTS.

The authorities of Milan, to reassure the people about the safety of the puo- mo, have fitted up a delicate Instru- ment which registers the slightest movement. It shows oscillations produced by the wind, and the most im- perceptible inclinations In the pinna- cles. When put In position It at once registered the periodical movement of the Cathedral through the action of the sun on its stone.

FINEST CROWN JEWELS IN TWC WORLD.

The late King of Saxony leTt fh-» richest collection of crown Jewels la Europe. One glass cuse In the "green vaults'" at Dresden contains assorted sets of the most costly gems. In one is nothing but sapphires, in another emeralds. In another rubles, In another diamond?. In another pearls. The largest rubles weigh 48 and 59 carats. The rarest gem Is a green diamond, weighing 40 carats. There are two of Martin Luther's rings and one «I Melane- thon's.

FORGETTING YOURSELF.

With regard to "forgetting yourself," one of the most frequent cases seems to be that of falling to recognise one'a own name.

A schoolfellow of mine, who had such a name, was a notable case In point. I have seen him sign \ document with the initials of his own Christian name and the surname of the last signatory before him, when calling the roll of the school, iHi.se ti' rurtrlse when ns one answered to his call of his own name, and only awoke to the situa tlon when a roar of laughter followed.

NEW FIELD FOR PEDDLERS.

Something new tn the street peddler Is the celery man. One of the growers in Kalamazoo, Mich.—the early celery market—ships a carload of celery at a time to these men. and ;* Is kept in cold storage until it is sold out. Each man takes a basket of the celery. It is tied in bunches with bright colored tapes, three roots of celery in a bunch. and each bunch sells for 10 cents. Thti is considerably less than the market price and the men do a good business, selling 70 or 80 of their 10-cent bunches a day.

CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY IS PLEASANT TO TAKE.

The finest quality of granulated loaf sugar ia used in the manufacture of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and the roots used in its preparation give it a flavor similar to maple syrup, making it quite pleasant to take. Mr. W. L. Rod- erick of PoolesviNe, Md., in speaking of this remedy, says: "I have used Cham- berlain's Cough Remedy with my children for several years and can truthfully say it is the best preparation of the kind I know of. The children like to take it and It baa no injurious after effect." For sale by all druggists, Lawrence; W. A. Allen, Andover; C. H. Shattuck, Ballardvale.

"Here is a precise parallel. You may open a great library, stocked with the «isdoni of the world, and say to the uneducate'd masses. 'Now, RO m and ed- iirate yourselves.' How many of them would achieve an education if simply turned loose in a library? Here and there some man would, but he would

a rare exception. As it Is with mental, so it Is with physical training. T.*»e uymnasium is to the body what the library is to the mind. You may op°n the finest gymnalsum in the world and tell the people to go In and develop their muscles and their strength, and it will do no good. Here and there one may. unaided, bcome a splendid athlete, as men have done in the nast but the masses of the people are more likely to injure themselves than to ,VH>'« benefit from the work."

"What do you think of games, stun as" fool hall, for instance, as played by college boys to-day?" asked the representative of The World.

"They are good and had. good or bad according to circumstances. If tr-e coach be a man of judgment and a gentleman the result will be beneflcal. but too often in our colleges and universities he is a man selected and paid by the students themselves, whose one object is to perfect them in the fin.' [mints of the game; th«, time for practice is short, and he tries to mak ? the most of.lt; consequently he over- does the work, overtaxes the boys' strength, and does them much hair.. If he is a gentleman he instills into th*- lads the chivalrous spirit and teach, s them to play like gentlemen and not like brutes, in which case the result Is good; but, unfortunately, not all the coaches are gentlemen..

"There is in many large colleges, a constant warfare between the director nf physical training and the coach, the on- striving .to regulate the students' exercise* for their • peruflineiit physical benefit, th-1 other doing/bls best t.. ger.oul of; them alLhe can ii the' shortest space nf time. This does harm to the youths, who do not real'-/-* the limitation- of their strength and, spurred by blind espi.it de corps, car-1

only t'ni- winning matches." "ATel w'luti. in your opinion, is t**fi

remedy?" •It Is diffhjill to generalize, for the

conditions vary in 'he different co:- leges. Regulation nf athletics and sports by ibe faculty has been tri-d and has in every instance proved a failure. The rules of the game cannot he altered intelligently by men who do not play it; they must be made v,y the aitual players. If the professor or director of physical training be vested with sufficient authority lV-er ail sports, and if In- himself has had th- requisite training for the place, the problem seems to he mlved. And it is to train teachers «.f athletics that this new department of Columbia Cniver- | ■Ity is primarily designed." -N. Y. | World.

MEALTIME UNDER FIRE.

From the London Evening standard. A Russian correspondent wlih Gen.

Orloflfs force at the battle oi Liao- yang gives a picturesque a* count of the feeding "f the soldiers during battle.

"Hunger was written on every man's face, a starving, wolfish hunger, which intenstieij the ferocious expressions o*' the dirty, tired and angry men.

"At 2 p. m. a deafening roar rang ali along the trenches. I turned my glass- es to look for charging Japs, but rny ear soon distinguished not the martini 'Cra'" "but a triumphant shout »<; 'Kheleb! (bread) Khleb: Khleb" i don't think if the rnmmander-ln-chlef had ridden up on his white horse h« would have got such a reception. "The commissariat men. with wagons

and baskets, came forward bravelv through the bursting Japanes- shells. Mread, bread.!! roared the soldiers'.

And every one of them look happy and amused as children with Chirst- mas toys. All snatched eagerly, and 1 can never forget the horrible laugh and scramble which beKan when a shed knocked a wagon to bits, killing the driver and strewing the black hunk?1

all over the ground. The soldiers, con- I sclous of nothing but hunger. Jumped from their positions and struggled buffeted and butted one another.

"The dead man in the middle of th* bread was not even looked at Then another shell fell, it did not explode But nobody save the soldier whose foot it had smashed to pulp paid the slightest attention. and not until every man had secured his dinner was the shell removed."

ON THE VALUE OF FRESH AIR.

In thn museum connected with the Edinburgh t'niversity is an exhibit that is a striking object lesson of the value of fresh air. A professor has secured the lungs of an Eskimo u Lon- don.i and a coal miner. He had then. preserved by chemical process, and they are now ride by side in a glasp ( ase.

The Eskimo's lungs'are pure white, the Londoner's lungs are a dirt* brown and the coal miner's lungs are jet black. The Eskimo had kept h>«" lungs clean not because he knew more about breathing than the Londoner or the coa| miner, but because he lived In a ii.nd of snow fields and spent his Jlme In the open air.—Chicago News.
