was considered by us, individually
or in conference, or talked seri-
ously OF at any time"

CONCERT AND oPERETT4
To be Given Dec mber 30th, at the Hy- perion Theater, in Aidof the State Insti- tute and Industrial Ii one for tlie Blind.

To be Given Dec mber 30th, at the Hy-
 perion Theater, in Aid of the State Insti-
 tute and Industrial Homef for the Blind.
 About year ago Mir. Frank E.. Cleaveland, president of this institu- tion, came to the city and gave a most successful exhibition of work done by the blind people. There are seven hundred and thirty -four blind people in the state living in dependence and last year sixty-eight young men and women and twenty-two little children received instruction in the home at the partial expense of the state and the benevo- lence of the people. Such trades as piano tuning, chair and mattress mak- ing, printing and typewriting, etc, is taught and these blind people are fast becoming independent and self-sup- porting. The field is wide for their ad- vancement if only an opportunity is given them to learn.
 The institute receives no one from outside the state and is supported by a partial allowance from the state funds by the various concerts given and by voluntary contributions.
 Though still in its infancy it bids fair to rise to one of the finest insti- tutions in the New England states, be- cause of it's practicability.
 This operetta is a first class affair and the singers are well known here as people of talent and ability. Mrs. Virginia P Warwick and Mrs. F. R. Smith sang in the convention fast spring-in oratorios and also The Fes- tival of music and have won many friends. Mir. Herbert L. Maercklein and Alfred Harrington are soloists of merit and every ticket purchased not only assures the purchaser of a pleas ant evenings entertainment, but helps another blind person to become inde- pendent. The tickets are being sold by young ladies and at Treat & Shep- ards and it is hoped because of the worthiness of the object that they will be received and well patronized.

The Recent Election.

James J. Carr, the defeated nominee for registrar of vital statistics, will not admit that he was positively beat en at the recent election and it is likely that he will persist in occupying the office. This he can do until the first Monday in January, when his term ex- pires, but a question arose last night which may cause him serious reflection before he definitely asserts his inten- ton of holding the office after the date mentioned above. The statute pro- vides that the moderator of an annual town meeting shall on or before the sec ond Friday after such meeting make a report of the returns of the election, and also declare the officers elected.
 Moderator Mills, as moderator of the recent town meeting, will do this and the question arises who will he declare elected to the cffice of registrar of vital statistics. Here he has already declared W. H. Preston to be the man, but will the action of MT. Carr causa him to make a different declaration if he can legally do 90?
 Mir. Carr has said that he will ask for a recount of the ballots, but the boxes have not yet been opened, and as the Likelihood is that they will not be the opinion is that Moderator Mills will have to declare MT. Preston the regis trar.

Training Class of Attendant Nurses.

The object of this course is the sys- tematic instruction of women in the care of convalescents, chronic invalids, feeble, elderly persons and little chil- dren. Not only does the Y. w. c. A. thus hope to provide invalids with att tendants competent to take charge of them at moderate prices, but also to furnish another means of self-support for women seeking employment, who for various reasons may not be able to avail themselves of the advantages of a fully equipped training school
 A course of instruction of tWenty-four lessons has been arranged, to be follow ed by an examination by a physician, certificates to be presented to the mem- bers of the class who pass successfully.
 This course will be thorough and prac- tical as far as it goes, but it is not in- tended to take the place of regular hos pital training.
 Members of previous classes who have taken up this line of work have been almost constantly employed at fair compensation, and satisfactory reports have been received both from their pa tients and the attending physicians.
 Those young women who wish to be- come members of this class should make immediate application at No. 568 Chapel street.
