MONSON

Impressions that at least one person had perished in the Monson fire last We'd nesday night were verified on Saturday by the finding of the remains of Albert Dean, who had lodgings in one of the burned buildings. Dean, when last seen on the night of the fire, was partially in- toxicated and no doubt went to bed in that condition. The finding of his body relieves his memory of the suspicion of having been the incendiary. The fire was, no doubt. incendiary and the williams if caught will deserve the fullest penalty allowed by law.

Boston is shocked over the murder of Alice Sterling, eight years old, who was missed from her home since last Wednes- day, and was supposed tc have been kid mapped, until her body was found Sunday morning buried in a manure heap. The finding came through suspicion of Angus D. Gilbert, night station agent at Savin Hill station of the N. Y., N. H. & H. rail- road. His room was searched, and signs of a murderous deed there committed led to a successful search for the body. The prisoner is 28 years old and came from Halifax. All New England is much stirred up over this gross crime.

CHILDREN AT THE CIRCUS.
Matinee and Evening Perform
anccs Largely Attended.


The circus people surely have no
complaint to make at the way they
were treated yesterday afternoon
and evening. At the matinee the
tent was simply damned with chill
dren and their parents. They
cheered each act to the echo.
The large tent was also taxed to
its utmost at the evening perform
ance, and the new change in the
program was voted an immediate
success. There are nine new num-
bers on the list, and each one of
them is deserving OF notice p. II.
Montgomery, as the English bound
ing Jockey, and Lahl Sing, who
strips himself on a horses back
while the animal is flying around
the ring, are certainly worthy OF
applause they received. Miss Nell
lie Lyndhurst has two new and
daring acts-one on the wire and
the other on a horses back. The
performance was thoroughly en-
loved by the children in the after
noon and by the older folks at
night.
The new program, which Is GER
tainly one worth seeing, will be
continued for the balance OF the
week and including a matinee
Saturday afternoon.

1t Was an Even Thing Between the
BookieS and the Talent.
Spring Meeting of Old Dominion Jockey
Club Looks Promising -Horsemen Glad
to Leave Baltimore.

A beautiful, balmy afternoon, we'll
tributed to make the opening day of the Old
Dominion Jockey Clubs spring meeting
pronounced success. There was not a
very large crowd present, but that was
partly owing to the fact that the New York
contingent did not show up as strongly as
they will next week Many of them are
waiting until then so tHat they can spend
Sunday at home Every man-1ack of the
crowd that came over from Arlington unite
in saving that Baltimore is the poorest town
for racing they ever struck.
Nine bookes weighed in prepared to do
battle with the talent It was abouta an even
thing between them, two favorites, we'll
played second choice, and two long shots
getting the money Tammany Hall was
the surprise Of the day, he winning at post
odds ranging from 80 to as high as so TO L.
1t was the Introductory scramble at
five furlongs. Walcott and Grampian
closed even favorites at 2 to /, while
Paragon, with Ham up, received con-
siderable support To a good start with
Paragon in front Murphy rushed Walcott
to the front and kept him there to the half
where Tammany Hall made his move and
won handily by a length Walcott beat
Red Cross out for the place by four lengths.
Nothing daunted, the talent came back
and piled their dough" on West Side,
Murphy up, who rewarded them by Win
ming hands down by three lengths.
The third was a good betting race,
ThackeTay and Lura both being forced
down a point from their opening price of
fours Wheeloski was an odds on fayorite
at to 10, and got all the money, win
ming after q stiff fight through the
stretch with Thackeray, in a hard drive.
Another long shot turned up in the
fourth in Jack Wynne, who was quoted
at 6 to l. The fayorite, ThuTston, seemed
short OF work and was not placed.
The prettiest race of the day was the
last at six and half furlongs. A blanket
would have covered the entire field from
start TO finish. Johnny took the lead at the
start and led the way clear through the
stretch by half length when Doc Birch
came through in driving finish, and won
by a short length.
Jockey Ham says he will not sign with
Pierre LorillaTd until he is sure he will
be reinstatcd.

THEY EACH EARNED A DOLLAR.
Unique and Successful Plan for Raising
a Church Fund.

Church Fund.
Something unique and interesting in the
way of an experience meeting was held
by the members Of the Peoples Church in
Typographical Temple last night. 1t was
a kind of side issue OF the big dinner which
was given during the afternoon.
After the dinner the experience meet
ing" threw open its doors TO the publie-at
10 cents per head. The experiences were
of the ladies who had each earned S1-not
borrowed. begged, or stolen a dollar, but
earned it 10y hard, honest toll.
This novel method OF beguiling the wary
coin from its hiding place and the par
ticulars OF the financial transactions were
highly interesting. At the close of the
meeting it was found that over $50 had
been captured by the fair workers.
Mrs p A Orr said. Il laid awake
nights trying 10 solve the problem, How
10 earn a dollar / never had earned one
and never expected TO as long as l had
some one TO give it TO me"
She went TO work and made loaf OF

il so pure and il tasted so good that he
Immediately ordered two loaves day.

The first day Mr. q. s. Chemist didn't
get his two loaves he FASTENED 10 his new
baker and made kick He had made an
agreement to get two loaves of bread
day." and would be satisfied with moth
ing else. SO Mrs. Orr continues to make
brown bread forthe chemist.
Mrs. Dr. Brackett knew of no other way
to trap an American eagle, so she cap
tured a pupil TO whom she - music
lessons.
Mrs Bisby had a lunch at her house
which netted her five. Miss Sarah Wall
took i'm mending and netted 50. Mrs. NJ.
A. Clancy says she was cheated. She
backed her husbands boots half a dozen
times, did up all of his laundry. and cleaned
and mended two suits Of clothes. She sent
in bill for $40, and lac gave her 81.
A weeks thinking earned Mrs. Rupp
dollar. Her husband gave it to her, and
she is stil wondering if he did so because
the thinking kept her from talking or not
Mrs. Abbey Richards says she walked from
one end OF tow nto the other half a dozen
times and gradually saved a dollar in
car fares.
