STRONG RESISTANCE.
To Closing Of congresationist Schools
by French Authorities.

Brest, Aug. 14.-Thirteen schools be-
longing to White Sisters remain un-
closed in Finistere The expulsion of
the sisters at COncarneau was under
taken yesterday. Scouts OH uutOmo-
biles reached the town at 2 o'clock in
the morning from Qumper and reported
that troops were on the way. The
tOcsin was rung, bugles were blown and
boys ran through the streets ringing
hand-bells. Large crowds gathered
around the raillOad station and around
the school.
Several bodies of gendarmes and two
companies Of infantry arrived by
special train. The cOmmissary ordered
the school evacuated, at which the
crowd shouted Long Live the Sisters"
The gendarnes advanced toward the
school, but they We're repulsed and a
general scrimmage followed. Later the
troops reached the building and the po-
lice tried to break down the doors with
axes. but the resistance of the people
continued.
The commissary finally forced an en-
trance to the school. When this had
been accomplished the sisters amid the
vehement protests of the crowd, left
the building. g
Entrance to the school in the village
of BcnsOe was also forced. Here the
sisters, when they emerged from the
school building, We're conducted to the
church by the mayor and a procession Of
people headed by the national flag
draped in crepe.

RECREATION PLACES IN THE OLD
BAY STATE.

Summer time has approached AM
with 1t the desire and long looked fol
opportunity to enjoy brief respite
from the care and worries Of toll In the
ever freshening and cheering atmos
phere Of the country.
Perhaps only a few days or even
one day is all the rest which the con
stant tide and press of business will
allow one; II so, why not spend II
where health. recreation and enjoy
ment In every sense of the word can
be procured. One does not need to
journey away to the mountains, but
right here within our own state is a
section which has all the necessary
requisites for an ideal resort.
After having passed through the
historic cities of Cambridge and Wal
than, one comes into the town of Wes-
ton, which is beautifully situated on
the banks Of the Charles; next is Way
land noted for its natural beauty like
Weston, and for the large body of
water within Its borders, Lake Co
chituate, situated in the southwest
portion from which the city of Bos-
ton gets its water supply; further
on Is East and South Sudbury, quaint,
old villages, reminders of the famous
old historic events which have long
since transpired. Here, too, Is the
OLD "Waysde Inn," which has been
immortalized by Longfellow and Haw.
thorne. and one passes on through
Hudson. Berlin. Clinton, Boylston and
Oakdale, all celebrated for their grand
scenery and healthful and invigorating
atmosphere which is a noted charac-
terlstic Of this region, and which Is
accounted for by the high elevation
Next comes Rutland delightful his
toric town, which enjoys the distinc-
ton of having the highest town site
In central Massachusetts; 1t Is also
the geographical centre Of the state,
and Is famous as a health resort.
Barre, a town 60 miles west from Bos-
noted for its excellent roads which
are shaded for miles with large ash,
oak and maple trees Ware, Is miles
west of Barre, is situated on q river of
the same name, and is covered with
all immense growth of forestry and
woodland. Amherst is one Of the lar
gest Of the towns in this section and
is an ideal spot; 1t is remarkable for
it's grand scenery and the pure min.
eral springs which abound in this
vicinity. 1t is quite close to Hadley.
which is bounded by the beautiful
Mt. Holyoke ridge.
Thus without leaving the state. one
can journey through one of the grand
est portions of scenic New England,
where the beautiful hills. the admir-.
able elevation and the delightful tone
which pervades this region combines
to infuse and impress the visitor with
tho idea that the garden of Massacnu
setts is surely the place for person
in quest of a quiet and pleasant so

Boston, Aug. 14.-Mrs. Josephine

house and while she was preparing

throat and demanded money. Mrs.
Doherty replied that IL he would releas Sc
her she would get 1t. and upon his do

alarm. Casey snatched the wOman's

Washington, Aug. 14.-SOme of the
newspapers have discovered mure's
nest i'm connection with the appointment
Of Judge Holmes to the supreme bench
and are suggesting that he may prove
to be an anti-imperialist and a radical
Oh questions of Federal taxation ami
the like, and by his votes Overturn all
that Il divided supreme court has done
with respect to the new national qucs-
tons of the last few years, thereby dam
aging trade and playing havoc gem
orally.
All who know the circumstances of
Mr.. Holmes selection for this i'm
pOrtant office are aware that his gem
eral views on public issues were among
the matters most carefully ascertained
before the invitation was extended to
him. 1t is possible that he may be an
anti-imperialist in the sense that he does
not think ii wise for the United states
to continue the Philippines as Il colony
after the FilipnOs shall have been edu-
Gated to govern themselves and the
tutelary obligation of the United States
seems no longer morally binding, but it
Is perfectly safe TO say that he believes
in the validity Of the title of the United
States to the archipelago. in the right
of the United States to hold the islands
in the colonial relation now existing,
and in the right and duty of this gov
ernment to continue in charge till the
Filipino republic can safely be launched.
In other words. he will be found to hold
substantially the same views as the
president himself on this and cognnte
subjects. If he renders opinions in de-
tiance of these views it will be due to
his conversion after ascending to the
bench.
1t may be laid down as broad prop
ositiOn of which the Holmes case is
simply an illustrative instance, that
President Roosevelt idea of the pro-
prieties hedging about the choice Of
federal judge is that. whereas. the
executive should never stoop to ''pack''
court for any purpose, it is emincntly
fitting that when vacancies occur lie
should choose men for them who. other
things being equal. are known to be in
general accord with the settled policies
of the government and not liable to be
led into revolutionary rulings.
incidentally very interesting story
Is now told for the first time, indicating
that in the decision on the income tax
it was Judge Gray. and not Justice
Shiras. who changed his vote. The
conclusion is drawn from this that the
new justice can determine the cOnfiura-
tiOn or termination of the colonial
policy.
Justice Shiras was accused of chang
ing his vote on the final decision de-
claring the income tax unconstitutional.
He has been denounced i'm congress and
on the stump as unworthy of member
ship in the highest judicial tribunal in
the land. ~
Some officials familiar with the prac-
tees of the supreme court. hold how
ever. that Mr.. Holmes could not with
prOpriety violate the established pre-
cedent of the court that when prin-
ciple has been once decided that decision
shall govern succeeding cases involv-
ing the same principle
