TIE-UP AT THE BOSTON
& ALBANY FREIGHT YARD

The local Boston & Albany freight
yard was tied up yesterday because Of
the inability TO get freight brakemen
to take the trains out. 1t is expected
the trouble will be remedied today as
many of the men who went out on the
extra freights arrived home last night
and will be able to resume work after
a good nights rest.
The western trains on the Boston &
Albany road were running on rag time
again yesterday. The train due here
yesterday morning at IA was 35 min
utes late: the train due at 929 was
an hour and five minutes behind time,
and the train due at BAG was an hour
and 10 minutes late. The reason for the
delay is attributed TO the bad connec-
lions west OF Albany and a heavy
snowstorm that is raging west Of
Pittsfield

To the Edited of Town Tales:
Though l do not presume to be very
charming l must admit that l am the
person referred to as having gone to
ride with a married man. | take this
opportunity to vindicate myself and to
broaden a few narrow minds on the
subject of married men and single
women. / like a man who is married.
| like him because he can be a Jolly
companion without assuming the priv
ieges of a lover. l like him because
| can be my natural self with him and
not have my motives misconstrued.
He does not think that every girl who
is interested in him must be in love
with him. There are barriers to love
that must not be overstepped and thus
pleasant friendship can be establish
ed without the sickly sentimentality
that unmarried men often descend to.
If married women only knew how often
their husbands are given and receive
gladly sound advice from an old maid
friend these women would be thank
full. Many women deserve to lose their
husbands affections, because the wom-
en- don't know how to manage a man
and think that, once his wife, there
is no more need of tact to retain his
love. / pity some men, so fOolishly
careless are their wives. One woman
l know, the wife of an artist who is
fast going to the dogs because his
wife does not enter into his work with
sympathy. She has made a fetish of
houseWork She thinks of nothing but
her work and her children whom she
is spelling. Her husband is going else
where for the artistic sympathy which
she does not have tact enough to see
he needs, / may say more on this
subject later

LITTLE LEFT TO WISH FOR.

A good preventive for that tired
feeling" in travelling is TO use the Lake
Shore between Chicago Cleveland Buff
falo. New York. Boston and all other
points East and West. The most per
feet roadbed and finest track adjust
ment in America is found on the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern Railway.
The cars are beautifully Illuminated
and contain every comfort and con-
venience that a liberal management
can furnish. Among the features Of
comfort is a writing desk, library, free
stenographic service. stock reports and
almost everything else that the ex-
nerienced traveller can suggest.

Church suppers are now at 1.-The
height of the season" 1t is always
wonder to me how some persons can
manage to stow away so much food
without dying on the spot of acute
collie. Many aged people who live
life of the utmost frugality at home
go to their church and indulge in the
widest debauchery in the eating line
Mince pie, salads, rich cake, all kinds
of meats, are heaped upon the one
plate and the dainty little woman with
a canary bird appetite will surprise
her escort by the robustness CT her
gastronomic desires. Perhaps it IS the
fact that one pays just the same,
whether he eats heartily or not. It is
so easy to get your moneys worth"
where the tariff is but rs cents. Again
the social atmosphere in which all rev.
ell, the laughter sounding loud through
sacred halls where the hymn is softly
chanted, and also out of the desire to
taste others cooking. all combine to
give the church supper somewhat the
nature of a Roman feast, with all of
the Bacchanalian features eliminated
except that of overfeeding.

A certain meek looking chap who has
a dramatic appearance is a magnet
when young ladies are to be drawn. A
few nights ago the young man had two
tickets, to Worcester Theatre and he
didn't feel like going alone. Near the
corner of Exchange and Main Streets
he met a young man who was out for
a walk with his best girl. The young
man with the soulful expression on his
face had previously met the young cou-
pie so he bowed politely and then
turned away toward the theatre. One
nod of the head caught the young
woman's eye and in a moment she was
lost in the crowd at the street corner.
The meek looking chap awaited her in
a doorway and the next day the other
fellow got a fearful lecture for running
away from the young lady. The vic
tim told me the last part of this story
and he declared that he must have
been fearfully careless to wander away
from such a lovable creature.

Diss De Bar Faces Life imprisonment for
Duping Girls.

Ann O'Delia Diss De Bar, who once
achieved notoriety in New York, and
her present husband, Theodore Jatk
son, or Horos, will probably be SEN
fenced to prison for life. They were
arralgned in London Thursday for
trial on charges of obtaining money by
false pref snSes, procuring girls and as
sault. The court was half-filled with
young girls waiting to testify against
them. The Horos.s Tor Jackson es-
tablished religious sect called Theo-
cratic Unity, claimed the attributes of
divinity and induced girls to miscon-
duct themselves under the belief that
it was necessary part of their ielig.
ious devotion. Poverty, chastity.
and obedience" we're the uatchwords of
Theocratic Unity, which was also
called the Purity League. Chastity,
however, applied only to married peo-
pie. Nenphytes Joining the Unity
were obliged to vow secrecy and PFC
fess belief in the divirity Of the
Horoses, both IF whom have mesneric
power, especially Laura.

ages of time, and are artistically orna-

many of the tiles have fallen out of
their places to he ground, and they
