But The Entertainment In Infantry Hall Last
Evening Was Excellent.

A comparative handful OF people gath
cred at Infantry hall last evening TO
listen 10 an entertainment given by Miss
Adeline Frances Fitz. assisted by the
Bostonia orchestra and soloists. The en-
tertainment was pleasingly conceived and
was something so much out of the ordi-
nary that II was deserving OF much COM
mendation. The Bostonia orchestra Is
composed OF ten young women who play
ceverly indeed, and under the direction
OF Miss Marietta Sherman Raymond
some excellent music is given.
There was good deal OF musicianly
spirit and feeling manifested by the or
chestra and all classes OF music were
played with careful Interpretation and
expression. All OF the concerted num-
bers were played not only pleasingly,
but with more than ordinary character
and finish, and one of the features was
violin solo by Miss Lillian Chandler,
who gave her numbers with admirable
execution and delicacy
The various numbers of the concert
encores were demanded. and to these
the orchestra responded with quite as
acceptable selections The second part
OF the programme was the reading OF a
sketch concerning the national music OF
various foreign countries and was en-
! titled Patriotism I'm Music"

Just discovered that she is possessed OF
q remarkable power. When person

how strong he may be. he is unable to
move her. Stella weighs s. pounds. and
though not as strong as some girls OF
her age, is In good health
A week ago she visited friends at King

of DIR. c. O. Sahler, OF the Sahler sani-
tarium. He asked her to visit him at
the institution She said that DR.. Sahler
and other professional men tried 10 hft
her. and II made her laugh outright TO
see their failure.
How she overcomes the laws OF force
she does not know. She says she simp-
ly places her finger-tips on the shoulder
OF the person intending to lift her and
makes up her mind she won't be lifted.
and that settles IL.
Two strong men trying with all their
might TO move her failed, but when she
removed her finger from their shoulders
she was lifted with ease. She has never
exhibited her powers in public.

diately becomes heavy again. Stella
says she has given relief In cases of pain,
headaches. rheumatism and nervous all

ter she said:
'Dr. Sahler. OF Kingston, told me IL
was Just personal magnetism, but l al

ger than that or the person who ~ try

TEACHER
HAD HER
IDEAS
UlTuIy Boys at tho PaWtuckst
High School Called TO Account
by a New Conner.

1t has been said for some time OF late
that the discipline OF the Pawtucket High
School. or at least I'm some OF the depart
ments OF the school, was very lax, and
that order in the school rooms was an
unknown quantity. Complaints have been
made OF the action OF some of the pupils.
and charges OF cigarette smoking on the
school premises have been frequently
heard
Yesterday a new teacher appeared In
the English and Latin department I'm the
person OF Miss Mary l.. Rogers, daugh.
ter OF Deputy Sheriff Carlos Rogers. Miss
Rogers Is a graduate OF Wellesley and
has been teacher for number of years
at the Garden street grammar school
where her excellent work gained promo
tion 10 her present position.
IL is said that trouble began soon after
the opening OF the session yesterday fore
noon. and eliminated In two scenes in
which boy pupils came out OF n mix-up
with the teacher much the worse off.
IL II said that George McNeal. center
rush on the football team made n remark
TO Miss Rogers that was not exactly
proper, and In making explanation aggra-
waited the ofcnse; thereupon. Il is de-
clared, Miss Rogers swung her fist on his
nose. causing Il 20 bleed
Later in the session William Campbell
offended and was struck I'm the eye by the
teacher and carried home a black eye for
his pains. None or the other pupils
thought it worth while 10 arbitrate with
Miss Rogers during the day.
Last evening Supt Hervey said Miss
Rogers considers that her act in the case
OF the Mcneil boy was entirely justified
by the remark passed by him, but that Is
something TO be determined later. lie
said he greatly regretted the affair.
In an Interview last night Miss Rogers
said.
1T was all n matter Of school discipline
Continued disobedience impertinence and
remarks which / considered improper
were the cause of 70 all. 10 was my first
day as teacher at the High school and II
soon occurred me that thinrs were at
loose ends so far as respect toward me
was concerned. 10 may be that the meas
ures taken 60 demonstrate that 7 would
maintain discipline were somewhat dras-
tic. but what I did was entirely iustina-

come public, but M long as n must the
facts should be stated. and I believe that

In better discipline Il will be something
accomplished.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL CASE
BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT
a Decision is Rendered Reversing the Finding
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission
lBy the Associated Press.l

Washington May 1S.-The United States
Supreme Court today reversed the find
ing of the InterS State Commerce
Commission in the case of the pro-
ceeding of that commission VS.. The Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Company ana
other railroads whose lines constitute a
continuous Hne between the cities of New
Orleans and Atlanta The case arose out
of a charge made to the effect that there
is discrimination against the town of La
Grange, which is on the lines between New
Orleans and Atlanta. and to which it was
alleged that higher rate was charged
on freight from New Orleans than was
charged on goods shipped from New Or
leans to Atlanta notwithstanding it was a
shorter haul The court held that the rate
in favor of Atlanta was justified BY the
fact that Atlanta is a competitive point
In rendering the opinion Of the Supreme
Court, Justice White stated that the re-
cord in the case established the fact that
Atlanta is a point of competition which
is reached not only through New Orleans
but through other points throughout the
country, and on this account the court
find, in accordance with previous decisions.
that there was no discrimination in the
charging of a higher rate for portion Of
the line near the point from which the
goods had been shipped than to the poirt
of destination and that point was Atlanta.
He said that previous decisions of the
court had established beyond question the
right of railroads to make right conces-
sions to cities situated as is Atlanta in
the matter of competition. He added that
the rate fixed from New Orleans to La
Grange was the rate from New Orleans
to Atlanta plus the rate from Atlanta
to La Grange. and be said that in case Of
a refusal to allow tie railroads to make
"a greater charge to La Grange they could
avoid any restriction of that kind by first
shipping to Atlanta and charging the full
rate and then re-shipping to La Grange
and charging the local rate. He said that
there was no earthly ground for the con
clusion of the commission that the rate
was unreasonable.
