USEFULNESS OF KINDERGARTENS
MRS. HARNESS LECTURE ON THEIR WORK
IN THE JOHNSTON BUILDING.

Mrs F. SCHNEIDER Barnes lectured on Free
Kindergarens In the Johnston Building yesterday
afternoon. About dozen women were present.
Mrs Barnes said that lttlo child is often biased
by its parents do what they think 1t ought to do
to have a standing In the world when 1t grows
older But parents often ignorant OF the
proper way TO instruct child in order to have It's

Too much history, think. is more dangerous than

person. and whas Is the use OF having knowledge
that We cannot apply?
IL think that a kindergarten training for the
woman herself is desirable. To me 1t seems that 1t
is certainly movement In the right direction.
Every woman would rather associate with children
and take an interest In them than be In an office
confronted with nothing but cold figures. Children
are always affectionate. think that every woman
wants TO be loved and admired and thought we'll Of

'In our kindergarten we once had little boy

him In charge, and for whole year nothing was

THOMAS MCCORMICK, WITH SEVEN BULLETS

prised when Mccormick entered the room. The
Judge had Just decided to adjourn the case. when
the prisoner spoke up:
Let me sit down, and then go on with the ex-
animation"
"well, thought you were dying" remarked the
Judge
II am according to the statements OF folks who
seem to know all about It" said he.
The clerk then told Mccormick that he was
charged with assaultng John Devne. OF East New
York. The latter would not press the charge when
he heard that the man was suffering great pain
from seven bullets which he carries In various
parts OF his body
THAT'S not Mccormick" exclaimed a young in
dviduaI as the former prisoner left the courtroom,
that's only his ghost"
Mccormick started across the street to a saloon.

Central Vermont Rumors.

The Manchester Mirror of yesterday
says: 1t is rumored among Manchester
local railroad men that the Boston & Maine
road management will attempt to get con-
troll of the Central Vermont road. This
road was forced into receivers hands
some time since, it is said, by the Grand
Trunk road to compel the payment Of
certain claims. This to competing lines
looked like move to obtain control, and
as result, it is said its chief competitor,
the Boston & Maine has turned its atten-
ton to the matter. and is looking the
ground over thoroughly to learn Just how
the road stands before making decisive
arrangements with the receiyerto operate
the road. 1t is reported that the Boston
& Maine management now has an expert
at st. Adams, who is taking careful &C
count of the rolling stock and other prop
erty of the road, SO that he can make re-
port of its value that will be equivalent to
an appraisal of the whole outfit.
