tice Malone at Greenfield Saturday, when
he was charged with numbering the Old
woman, Abigail Rogers, in Wendell, Sept.
4. He was therefore bound over TO the
superior court. No one saw him strike
the fatal blows, but the story of the cousin,
Artie Begor, if it can be believed, places
the crime near 70 the door of the cousin,
and the evidence of the other witnesses
add many links to the chain.

Women as TeIearapbers.

In the work of receiving and sending
messages women do equally as good work
as men, writes John b. Taltavall in the
Ladies' Home Journal. They may not
be capable Of such phenomenal bursts of
speed as the male telegraphers, but at the
same time extraordinary speed is not so
much an element of success or necessity
as accuracy and the ability to maintain
fair average rate. They perform really
creditable work. and a great point in
their favor is reliability. AS yet women
have not been very successful in the
handling of press reports. Day and night
the Associated Press and the United
Press send many thousands of words to
the newspapers in all parts OF the coun-
try, and the wires are almost exclusively
in charge OF men. The immense amount
Of matter to be handled necessitates
very high rate Of speed, forty eight words
minute being maintained for hours at
stretch. woman's strength is hardly
equal to such task. Since the introduce
'tion of typewriters into telegraph offices
women have taken kindly to the ma
chimes, and in their use have become pro-
ticient. The typewriter reduces the la
Dor very materially.
