Conference at NorthfieId.

The Mortified Young Womens con-
ference opened July 9TH with a large at
tendance. Nearly all the representative
finishing schools and young ladies board
ing schools of the East have some of their
members spending part of their vacation
at Northfield. This is designed to
deepen and develop the spiritual life of
young women and to inspire them in a
desire for Bible study and personal
work" To this end, regular religious
meetings are held each morning and even
ing and institutes have been organized
for training in particular lines of work.
The afternoons are spent in social events
such as lawn parties, watching the men
from Camp Northfield " play base ball,
or taking long drives over the picturesque
New England hills. Next Sunday DIR.
Gumsaulus of Chicago will speak in the
Auditorium. He is one of the most elo-
quent preachers in the American pulpit
and his visit to Mortified gives the peo-
pie from the surrounding towns a splen-
did chance to hear the distinguished min
lister. Other speakers of wide repute are
on the program: Rev. G. Campbell Nor
gan, ID. D., Robert f. Speer, Rev Cleland
b. McAfee. Harry b. Wright Rev Percy
S. Grant, and President Mary Woolley of

Springfield Republican said editor
ially THE gentle spirituality of those
who assembled in the New Hampshire
city on Monday certainly availed to
deeply impress all the reporters In
soft and amiable contrast was it to the
gatherings of politicians, legislators
and whatnot. with which newspaper
men are brought in contact, where
selfshness and force are dominant.

love. but must in some way be com
PEELED by those who get it, Mrs. Eddy
has built up a wonderful thing. what.
ever we may think of its quality and
promise of continuance after she has
paid the debt which nature exacts Of
all"
We may regard the word science as
a misnumer when used in connection
with the cult of which Mrs. Eddy is
the head. we may scoff at the peculiar
views which her followers hold re-
2arding the non-eXstence of disease.
and We may condemn the practice of
not recognizing the need of treatment
by educated medical practitioners. but
, certainly in their personal conduct
the Christian Scientists stand far and
away from the great body of people
of the land. That the Christian Sci
entists are moral and upright and
that they have found a peace and con-
tentment that is not vouchsafed to
most people must be admitted. how
ever much We may differ from the
views they hold. Drummond insisted
that love was the greatest thing in the
world, but contentment, is a great
thing. and the Christian Scientists
seem to have their portion of it,

Differences Between Manufacturers
and Employees Causes a Tie-Up in
Granite Industry in Barre.

The entire granite industry of Barre,
Montpelier and Mortified is tied up
and 2000 men are out. The manufac-
turers, after a session lasting until
past midnight Monday night. decided
to shut down their plants pending q
settlement of the trouble at ]. b.
Corkies and Moore Brothers stone
sheds, where the union called out the
men. as the firms were doing sub-con-
tract work
The whole question at issue now is
whether or not the manufacturers can
do sub-contract work without discrim-
ination by the union The cutters
claim there is an agreement abou.
sub-contracting jobs and this work
comes under that agreement. while
the manufacturers say there is no such
agreement.
The action of the Barre manufac-
turers was sent to Montpelier and
Mortified Tuesday, resulting in a ces-
sation of work in those towns. The
manufacturers are a unit in the matter
and the feeling is gaining that the
trouble will develop into bitter fight
unless one side or the other recedes
over $50 firms are involved in the
trouble, and while the manufacturers
do not call their action lockout it
virtually amounts to it,
The granite works have refused to
settle the differences by arbitration
About 200 men left Barre during the
week.

Burlington, Rutland and St. Adams,
and some of the smaller towns in our
neighboring state like Newport. Clare
mont and Lebanon. are making a hui
labaloo about their professional base
ball teams. They can have them if
they want them, but Brattleboro, after
a long experience in this line, is sat
isfied with its local league. Profes-
sional base ball in a small town is an
expensive luxury, and usually results
in a deficit in the treasury at the end
Of the season. A local league may not
furnish as high a grade of playing as
exhibited by professionals, but pat
rons know that the contests which
they see are on the square, and that
every player is doing his best In
the rivalry of amateurs many young
men engage in a healthy sport, good
players are developed, and the re-
ceipts from the game are kept at
home, instead of going into the pock-
cts of the men from all over the coun-
try who play base ball for a business.
The local league in Brattleboro last
year wound up the season with all
bills paid and upwards of $1,000 in the
treasury, and the outlook now is for a
better showing this year. 1t is hoped
that the continuation of the league
here may result in the establishment
of permanent fund which may be
used in a few years for the mainten,
ance of a permanent athletic field free
for the use of all boys and young men
of the town.
