THE NEEDLEWORK GUILD.

The work OF the Providence branch Of
the Needlework Guild OF America, of
which mention was made at the time of
the remarkable exhibition Of clothing
collected for the benefit or deserving
charities was held at the home of Mrs.
Walter B. Vincent, has been necessarily
more or less expensive, but IL Is rule OF
the organization that members shall not
be taxed to meet those expenses. Conse-
quently IL was decided at a meeting OF the
branch, held in Memorial Chapel, Diman
place, yesterday afternoon, TO arrange for
a lecture to be given in the chapel, Feb. 8
at o'clock p. m, by Mrs. Isabelle Spencer
freeman of Philadelphia, on "Open
Church Door,"
Mrs. Freeman, who is strongly recon-
mended by Rev. DIR. Storrs of Brooklyn,
N. Y, and other prominent divines, has
had al exceptionally versatile experience
with the leading charities in the country,
and the line Of work expounded by the
" Berkeley Temple" has been a favorite
topic with her for years.
She has been delivering a series of lec-
lures at Mrs. Vincent's residence Satur-
day forenoons, the last of which will
occur next Saturday.
The tickets may be obtained of tho Sec
tion presidents and directors. The first
half hour will be devoted TO musical
program of merit.
The meeting yesterday was largely at
tended In spite of the storm, 75 ladies be-
ing present, and presided over by Mrs.
Frederick Talbot, president.
The efforts OF the branch in collecting
clothing were more successcful than APP
peared at the annual exhibition, and 2252
garments were distributed among Is char
liable institutions.

AN unrnorl1AgLe ROAD.
A Railroad That Cannot Compete With
Mexican Burros.


The recent report of the Sonora branch,
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo
system, a limo extending from Benson,
A. T., to Guaymas, Mexico, is not en-
couraging. The road runs aloug, at the
foot of immense mountains, through a
waste of sandy deserts and uncultivated
prairies. There are few towns or villages
of any Importance situated near this
road. 1t was constructed at an enor-
NOUS cost, and it was the dream of the
projectors TO make Guaymas danger
ous rival of San Francisco.
The ocean route TO Australia and the
Central and South American ports is
hundreds of miles nearer Guaymas than
San Francisco, and the former port was
intended as depot and entrepot for oil
imports and exports from those coun-
tries. But the scheme met with mon
strous failure. The traffic between this
Mexican port and tho United States
scarcely brings in sufficient revenue to
pay the actual expenses of its train serv-
ice. Indeed there has been some talk
of abandoning that part of the road run
ming between Nogales and Guaymas, a
distance of nearly 800 miles.
A popularity of this road is the fact
that no freight agent has ever yet bscn
able TO make Tariff that would com
pete with tho burros that have a line of
commercial travel running parallel with
tho Sonora railroad from Hermosillo
to Nogales, Benson and Tucson. Two
dozen burros are capable of carrying
about as much freight rs box car
This mode is cheaper even if it is lon
ger, but who in that country reckons
time? Moreover, custom duties arc reg
ularly saved by the burro route in both
dir.~''ona--Cincinnatj Enquirer. l..

going along the Hartford pike attached
TO a phaeton. The witness pointed out
on the map where il was that he saw
the team. The witness was going south
and was about 100 feet east of Pocasset
River. He was going in the same direc-
tion as the team and drove behind
IL about half mile, until
until he reached Sleep Hill. This was
about o'clock in the afternoon. The
witness did not observe who was in the
team.
In cross-examination by Mr.. McGill the
witness fixed the date positively as
September 27.
The next witness called was
George X. Dexter,
North Scituate farmer. He was on the
Hartford Pike on the 9th of September
and passed a horse and buggy headed
west. The buggy was phaeton. The
horse wns small and black. The witness
identified the team in evidence as the one
he saw. He saw a man in the carriage
with a red moustache and a woman
dressed in black.
"Have you seen that man sincef" in
quired Mr.. Dubois.
Yes, at Cranston."
"After tbat?"
"Yes, at Richmond"
"Do you see him now?"
"He is here, beside Mr.. Pierce"

no notice was taken of him,

A Reported Conflict Between the Alba
nian and Negro Members.
LONDON, Nov ia dispatch TO The
Times from Constantinople says that a
report is current of conflict on Wednes-
day evening between the Albanian mem
bers of the palace guard and the negroes,
subjects of the sublime porte in Africa,
also members of the personal guard of the
sultan. The correspondent adds that the
details seem unworthy of belief, however.
The dispatch also contains the statement
that the Dardanelles garrison has been
doubled, and that a lookout and search
lights have been established on the summit
of Mount Elias on the Island of Tenedos,
off the western coast of Asia Minor.
A dispatch to The Standard from Con
stantinople says that Kutchuk Pasha has
been repeatedly summoned to the palace
of the sultan but he steadily refuses to be
grand vizier While the sultan is thus
unable to form a respectable cabinet, pub
lie opinion everywhere clamors for the
proclamation of a constitution.
"A member of the diplomatic corps, 5"
the correspondent of The Standard CON
tinues, remarked to me today that where
ever foreign ambassadors had established
consuls the allegation that the Armenians
had commenced the disorders had been
disproved. Much can be done TO stop the
massacres, and it is believed that the sui
tan now recognizes that he must do some
thing"
A dispatch to The Daily News says that
careful estimate makes the total number
of persons killed outright in the massacres
| 1900, and it is probable that 10000 will
die of starvation during the coming win
| ter. 1t cannot be realized in Europe how
awful is the situation.
The Chronicle says: 1--WE are inclined tC
believe in the imminence of the interven
tion of the six powers and America il
Turkish affairs. The nearly simultaneou
movement of all of the squadrons of tht
different countries can have no othe
meaning. Probably Smyrna and Salonlc;
| will be occupied first "
