given by the city and state to be used for
scholarships, In return for which the

value to the institution Is measured by
its extraordinary prosperity, which. as
we all know, has been achieved In the
face of many difficulties.
ut is also familiar to those who have
been In any way interested in the school

Metcalf has from the outset been shared
and encouraged by the members OF her

Metcalf, to whose public spirit and gen.

ITO women's influence then is due the
foundation of this society, and by wo-
mans influence has the generous spirit
of the giver made the Rhode Island

BLAIs BEGUN TO-DAY.
Suit Brought by His Administrator
Against new York, Providence and
Roston Railroad Company.

Suit was begun today in the common
fore Judge Rogers against the New York,
Providence and Boston Railroad COM
pany. The complainant is Henry Prev,
administrator OF the estate of Andrew
Blais, who was killed at the Hamlet cross
ing near Woonsocket. The plaintiffs argu-
ment il very elaborate. Negligence is
charged against the railroad company in
that it maintained an electric bell at the
Hamlet crossing, the use of which misled
Blais and lured him to his death.
Thought the Track Clear.
The accident occurred at 6:12 In the
evening. For long time it has been the
custom OF the road TO maintain bell At
the crossing which is kept constantly
sounding whenever switching is being
done on the sidetracks above. The
plaintiff alleges that the bell has long
been regarded as signal that such
switching 10 being done up the track and
is not used as warning for approaching
trains. When trains approach the cross
Ing a gate is lowered to notify the public,
On the night of the accident Mr. Blais
started to cross the track with

was sounding, merely warming the
public. as Mr.. Blais supposed, that the
switch tracks beyond were being used
Instead of this an express train WAS
rapidly approaching. Unconscious OF this
Blais started to drive under the gate and
had just got squarely under it when the
gateman lowered it and caught the load

hepded what was to happen the train
struck the wagon with fearful force,
killing Blais aud the horses.
Suit was begun today for $4,000. The
jury went out at 11:45 to take view.

TRIED TO BUY A WIFE.
An ITALIAN PAYS $50 For A H.
YEAR-OLD GIRL FR0llITALY
hut the Mothers Threats and the Pros
pective Bridegroom's Rage Could Not
Bring the Girl to Terms

peculiar affair has Just come to light
In the Italian colony in this city. IL in
wolves an alleged purchase OF wife, the
legal right OF parent to consent to the
marriage OF a minor against the wishes
OF the latter and mothers attempt to
force mere child into a distasteful mar
ringe. There is no telling what the re-
suits of this combinat ion might have
been had the police not tacken an active
hand in the proceedings.
A few days ago a IA year old girl, Cat
arina Galta, arrived In this country from
Italy. Her stepfather, Frank Devingenzo,
and her mother Marie Angelo. have been
in this city for seven years.
1t appears now that Catarina was
brought here for the sole pur-
pose or marrying her to
an Italian. Angelo Pezullo. 80 years of
age, who it is claimed paid $50 for the
girls passage on the understanding that
he was to have her on her arrival.
Catarina arrived here ten days ago and
was received with open arms by her
family. Pezullo. anticipating her arrival,
had hired a tenement aud furnished it.
He had provided considerable amount
of clothing for Catarina. and when she
arrived indulged in rosy visions of the
future.
His Troubles begin.
However, his troubles commenced
shortly,a as when Catarina was told for the
frat time that she was to marry Pc
zullo her nature made a strenuous revolt
and she protested vigorously.
Her neither raised such storm and
threatened such dire punishment il Cata-
rin Fat lad m n.
of the family that finally the unwilling
girl accompanied Pezullo to the City hall
where the necessary marriage license was
taken out.
On Saturday. the day set for the we'd
ding, Pezullo, radiant in a brand new
suit and shave, appeared at the Devin-
genzo home. but found that the neighbors
had interfered and had put stop to the
arrangements for the sacrifice.
Lieutenant Matthews of station was
appealed to by the Indignant residents
aud he investigated with the result that
Agent Thurber Of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children was COM
missioned tn take charge of Catarina.
The Would Be Bridegroom's Rage.
He intended to take her from her
house today, but Pezullo's rage was so
great when he saw his prize slipping
through his fingers that the agent
removed her last night. The girls mother
flew into violent passion at being rossed
and between the two there is liable TO be
trouble i'm the colony.
Next Tuesday Agent Thurber will petit.
tion the municipal court for the custody
of the child.
In spite of her unhappy experience since
landing in this country, Catarina has
soft place in her heart for a bright son OF
sunny Italy. whom she met soon after
landing, aud would marry him should
she be allowed.

Its Worth Recognized.
"Slowly, but steadily came the recog.
milton Of its worth. IL outgrew its en-
vlronments and, though moro rooms were
occupied and more teachers added to Its
list of instructors, for several years
past those who have been associat-
ed with TIE school have realized
the total inadequacy OF its quarters to the
work 1t was doing and to the lofty pur-
pose to which 1t aspired. The demand
was by no means simply q question Of
more room but of acco N u odations
suited To the character of the school and
proper facilities for the prosecution OF
it's work.
"Thus from small beginnings requir-
ing only a m Oldest room on an upper floor
OF the Hoppin Homestead building the
school has developed to such proportions
as to make advantageous use Of the space
and facilities which this fine building will
place at the command Of its various de-
partments.
The Work of Women.
"Of those loyal and enthusiastic
women who were identified with the
founding OF this school, IL Is fitting on
this occasion TO refer. especially to Mrs.
Jesse Metcalf. For some time before its
establishments. Mrs. Metcalf had become
strongly impressed with the Importance
and great valus Of such an institution to
this manufacturing state. In no other
part OF our country perhaps, could the
development of art In it's several branches,
and especially as applied to mechanics
and the industries be fostered more adj
vantaReousIy; nor could such an institu-
ton be more confidently relied upon to
contribute more directly to the general
welfare Of the community.
From its earliest inception to this oc-
casion when we dedicate the building
erected In her homer and devoted TO the
fuifilment OF her ideas, Mrs. Metcalf
has been closely identified with tho prog
ress Of the school. 1t has had from the
beginning the advantage OF her personal

The Iron Infant Almost weaned.

The Iron Age has long been the special
advocate of the iron interests, and in
season and out it has taught that the ma
ton was growing rich by taxation. In
recent issue reviewing the situation it
says:
Manufacturers themselves believe that
iron and steel prices will not recede
much below their present level, because,
with few exceptions, they are lower than
ever before in the history of the country,
and so low that a moderate duty will
mark the difference between values here
and abroad. If the manufacturers are
able to live now they will be in much
better shape year or two hence, with
the growth of new establishments
checked, and at the same time the nor
NAL increase in the business Of the coun-
try going forward.
This means that the existing situation
is satisfactory, and that the future is
brighter still. Well, that ought to sat-
isfy the most unreasonable. Certainly
"a moderate duty will mark the differ
ence in values here and abroad" and ex-
listing duties of 1914 on steel and Sc. 70
on pig iron ought to be reduced when
the difference between wages here and
abroad is more than equaliZed by the
greater efficiency of American labor

CRYING for Wool Duties.

The National Association of Wool
Manufacturers held it's twenty-eighth
annual meeting at the Fifth Avenue hotel,
New Y ork, on JAM 10. This is the associ-
alton Of which William Whitman has for
several years been president and dictator.
Whitman's ability to influence the Re
publican party and to secure high pro-
tective tariffs for manufacturers has
made him pre-eminent among his associ-
ates. His false statements in regard to
profits and duties have brought him into
disrepute among Democrats, and hence
it was deemed advisable, if the associa-
ton was going to attempt to influence
the new administration, to elect presi-
dent less obnoxious to the Democrats.
made president.
That this association thinks that there
is no radical difference between Repub-
icans and Democrats, and that the next
congress is going to be swayed from it's
purpose to legislate for the people by the
clamorous demands of few rich manu-
facturers, is evident from the following
interview with Major Stott, of Lowell:
The fight to which the association
must dedicate itself for the next four
years is the retention of as high an ad
valorem duty on the manufactured prod
uct as possible. That the duty Of eleven
cents pound on raw wool and the COM
pensating duty of forty-four cents a
pound on the manufactured article will

The way to get something for
nothing is to attend the farmers In
stitute and get good information, paid
for by the state out Of the funds col
lected from railroads and other corpor-
ations"
The above item which is going the
rounds of the state press for the pur-
pose of advertising the farmers in
stitutes is more of an insult to Wiscon-
sin farmers than otherwise. The
Democrat takes it that self respecting
citizens, no matter what their calling,
do not want something for nothing.
If it emanates from the state depart
ment Of agriculture, whoever has in
hand the business of advertising
the institute is certainly lacking
in good taste To say that they don't
cost the farmers anything, besides
being untrue, is anything but a com
plment for the Institutes.
