The Woman's Club.

The two classes of the department
of current literature of the Woman's
club held joint meeting in the vestry
of the Universalist church Tuesday
evening. Mrs. Arms, the president of
the club, said in opening the meeting:
Last September when a few women
met to discuss the formation of a
club, it was at the suggestion of one
of our toWnsmen, who knew what such
a club might do for the place and for
the women in it. This gentleman
needs no introduction to you, but at
the close of a short musical program,
we shall be glad to hear from the Rev.
Albert Hammatt" A piano solo by
Miss White and several vocal solos by
Miss Eaton were listened to with
pleasure.
Mr.. Hammatt said in beginning that
he often heard an echo of What does
Mr. Hammatt think of our club?" He
answered, 81 feel very proud of it,
and expressed his approval of the
thorough way in which it is organized
of it's different departments, and of
the able corps of officers. He said that
it fills a need in the social and edu-
cational life of the village. Mr.. Ham
matt then spoke upon his subject for
the evening, Current Topics" divid'
ing the subject into four sub-topics
On the first sub-topic, "The Dowager
Empress of China" the speaker told
of the Empress as a very clever
wholly unprincipled woman, who
might have been a power for good
In speaking of "The need of more sin
cerity, candor and courage in our mod
ern life" Mr.. Hammatt referred to
President Roosevelt and Jacob Riis
as men who had had the courage OF
their convictions.
Mr. Hammatt spoke of gambling and
disregard for Sunday as very common
among American vices" "The ten
dency of higher education to supplant
home life" was the last sub-topic. AL
through Mr.. Hammatt did not hesitate
to speak plainly, and the address was
very forceful and telling one.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY ACCIDENT

w. c. Putnams Thigh Broken and His
Knee Pan Cracked-tIis Sister-in-
Law Mrs. John Putnam, Badly
Bruised.
Friday between twelve and one
o'clock a serious runaway accident oc-
cured on Westminster street in which
w. c. Putnam of Putnam & Damon,
grocers, was seriously injured, and his
sister-in-law, Mrs. John Putnam, ser
iouslv bruised. Mr.. Putnam was
driving his grocery team down into the
Square, with Mrs. Putnam in the
sleigh. The horse took fright from
a passing train and ran, throwing both
out. near the foot of the School street
stairs. Mrs. Putnam was taken into
the drug store of f. G. Osgood and at
tended by DR.. O'Brien, later being re-
moved to her home. Her injuries
consisted of painful bruises and Sc
we're shock from the conclusion. She
is now able to be about the house and
will have no lasting effects. Mr.. Put
nam was taken to the office of DR.. Hill,
where Drs. Hill and O'Brien found
that in addition to severe bruises, one
of the hip bones was fractured close
to the body, and that the knee pan was
cracked. AS he could not be properly
cared for here DR.. O'Brien took him
by the night train Friday night to the
Mary Fletcher hospital at Burlington,
where the fractured bone was set and
every thing is being done which sci
ence can do to save him from being
crippled for life. Much sympathy is
expressed among the citizens of Bel
lows Falls because of the series of un-
fortunate circumstances which have
arisen in the family during the past
few years. A subscription paper was
circulated about the streets and about
5000 readily raised to pay the expenses
and assist in the best care of the un-
fortunate man.

Mining Methods
The method pursued in winning the
ore is the one peculiarly adapted TO
the economical working OF the property
and one by which almost every pound
of ore is taken out Of level before 1t
is abandoned. In order TO understand
their working exactly it must be borne
in mind that the walls Of the deposit
are hard and will allow the taxing a
way Of the ore without shaling off.
In opening up level drift the full
length OF the vein is run along it's
entire width. They generally drive
an drift first and then come back
trimming the sides to the walls and
the back to height Of about twenty
feet Following the miners on this
back stretch are the timber men who
timber the drift mp tight. They use
caps running clear across the drift

the pit will be about 800 feet by POO

for Crystal Falls AZ it certainly means
the filling Of the stockpile docks again
