fAWTUxET VALLEY

A project 10 form a company which IS
the terminals OF which shall be at Wash
ington and Coventry Center and which
will connect with private houses and
business places along the line. The
plans as made for the company are not as
yet in any way near completion and 1t
will require some time before the neces-
sary plans for the building and maintain
ing OF such a proposed line can be en-
tirely finished. 1t Is understood that an
act for the incorporation OF the new COM
pany will be presented to the state legis-
lature before the conclusion OF the pres
sent session. Ii is also understood that
the organization Of the new company
which will be OF inestimable value 10 the
rural districts In Coventry is viewed with
favor by the Providence Telephone COM
pany. and that in all probability a lire
from one OF the exchanges OF the new
line will connect with the Providence
Telephone company's valley exchange at
Riverpoint However. as yet the project
has not assumed any realities. but II is
reasonably certain that within a very
short time matters will shape themselves
into realities which will be more readily
visable.
large amount Of dissatisfaction Is be-
ing expressed by the public In general on
account of the poor and unconvenient
service rendered to the valleyites by the
local end OF the Rhode Island company's
car system. Crowded cars are becoming
an everyday occurrence and each after
noon sees the local cars crowded 10 such
an extent that numbers are forced.
especially between Arctic Center sQusre
and Clyde. On Saturdays and Sundays
the crush Is much worse and on nearly
every trip the cars are crowded to the
platform. and in many instances TO the
steps. When the fact that large cars
stand idle I'm the barn is recalled the
reason for this overcrowding does not
seem to be substantial.
A man totally blind and beastly drunk.
who rode upon a Crompton- Hope car yes
terday afternoon. annoyed all OF the
other occupants OF the car with his silly
talk, which several times became most
obscene and blasphemous from Clyde to
Hope. The conductor ordered him 10
stop his nonsensical blaberings and 20
cease expectorating upon the floor. but
the nuisance was tolerated throughout
the trip, the compassion Of the conductor
being touched by the infirmity OF the man
which more than balanced his respect for
the lady passengers upon the car who
were forced To listen to the drunks flow
of indecent language.

as few Of the towns are given adequate
credit for the FIRE lighting devices which
they may have. and there is also a feeling
that the smaller towns Of the west particu-
larry are called upon to make good losses
in the larger cities Of the country like New
York Chicago and st. Louis, where the in
surance rates are not strictly enforced.
Advocates OF the plan Of mutual insur-
anee for hardware merchants say that, as
q rule, the risk is not large on that line
Of business. and that IL can be carried at
a much lower rate than the average com
mereial risk.
The committee will prepare a report
showing the cost Of insurance in the state
based upon the experience Of the Seward
mutual company and others, and it is ex-
pected that the hardware merchants asso-
citation win adopt a plan for providing in
surance at actual cost to members.

Gives bartender a scare.

That the operations OF the holdup men
who worked among the saloons OF the city
last month are still fresh IN the minds OF
sundry members of the drink compromising
fraternity was demonstrated by a holdup
scare which was brought on In Henry Mics
saloon, Seventeenth street and ST. Mary's
avenue. last night. Into the saloon. where
were the proprietor, two customers and the
bartender, came at q late hour two well
dressed a white man and a negro.
They ordered beer. The bartender turned
with the glasses TO draw the lager. and
then. In the bar mirror. saw that the
were whispering together.
Now" he heard the white man say.
'now'5 your time"
The bar man dropped the glasses, and.
STOPPING low. made q dive for the door OF
the back room, meanwhile reaching in his
hip pocket for a pretended revolver.
Amazed at this alarming demonstration
the buyers Of beer made a run out the
front door for the safety OF the street.

eral objection is that II IL slow work and
cannot be generally mastered as q hand
sufficiently rapid to meet the ordinary bus
mess requirements. On this point the
teachers are divided, and with timed spec
linens upon which to base their opinion.
1t is argued that the writing should be
slow at first until form and neatness have
been acquired. and that speed should then
be considered. There is more uniformity
in the writing Of the schools at present
than ever before 1t is claimed by some, and
the writing is OF a better grade since the
adoption Of the natural vertical system.
This revised system is an improvement over
the original vertical hand. and the results
average much better than those obtained
while the Spencerian system was used.

FAMILY IN COURT
Noted Prisoners Make First Appearance in
Series Of Charges
MADAME DISPLAYS USUAL GOODNESS
Present Case Does Not nvOl cues
ttOn of Crawford MILLIONS, but
il Brought by Banker on
Libel Accusation.

PARIS. Feb. 1.-THE Humbert family
made their first appearance in the criminal
courts today when the case Of M. CattRni,
The banker, was taken up in the ninth
correctional chamber.
There was great public interest mani
tested in the proceedings and the court
room was packed with people.
All the previous examinations OF the
Humberts had been held in secret, and this
was the first opportunity the Parisians had
TO see and hear the prisoners. The Hum
berts were brought In like any ordinary
prisoners and took seat in the prisoners
box.
Nine. m seIf-PosseSsed.
Nine. Therese Humbert displayed her
usual bravado and GOODNESS. Her sister,
Marie DaurignAe, was apparently much un-
nerved, and the ~latters brothers, Roman
and Emile D~aurignae, maintained an atti-
tude OF calm defiance.
The case does not involve the main ques-
tion concerning the Crawford millions, but
NJ. Cattani's charge that they Hbelled him
in referring to him as an usurer. which in
directly affects the whole AFFAIR.
The early stages of the trial today did not
produce any sensations. Nine. Humbert
gave a long. rambling statement Of her
dealings with NJ. Cattani, and alleged that
his demands for excessive interest and her
borrowings from him amounted to about
$500. 600.
When NJ. Cattani was heard and repudi-
ated the charge Of usury, Nine. Humbert
sprang from her seat and asked for the
privilege Of interrogating the banker, but
the presiding magistrate repressed her.
The testimony furnished by Marie Daurig-
nae today showed evidence of an intention
TO leave TO Nine. Humbert the direction of
the plans for the prisoners defense.
While Frederick Humbert was testifying
he sought 10 incrimiate a number Of promi-
nent political p~ersonages, including NJ.
Vale, the minister Of Justice. when the
judge stopped him from bringing in the
names Of people who were not parties to
the case. ThereupOn Nine. Humbert ex-
4 claimed: "Other interesting facts will be
disclosed when the main case is heard"
The Judge again stopped N. Humbert
when he asserted that persons occupying
high positions were aware Of the fact thar
the HumbeTt family was in Madrid.

In his the teachers generally seem TO be
agreed. but there is a variety OF opinion
as to just which side is the most important
and most in need OF attention. In the opln-
ion of some the vertical system now in
use in the city schools is impractical and
an obstacle to legible. rapid PenmAnship,
while others think that the system Is all
right. but its merits are not recognized be-
cause OF the failure Of teachers TO use judg-
ment In teaching 1t OF In directing the pu-
pills use of 1t after II has been acquired
until they have developed a settled hand.
The complaint is frequently made that
there is no instructor OF penmanship in the
city schools now, and that because Of this
the importance of good writing is no longer
emphasized. While there has been no spe-
ciRl Instructor in that branch more atten-
ton is given to good ~penmanship In the
grades at present than ever before. and
more time devoted 20 It. The present
schedule for writing lessons now employed
in the grades is as follows: First grade,
fifteen minutes a day; second. third and
fourth grades. taking two lessons a week OF
twenty-five minutes each. In the seventh
and eighth grades there is one lesson a
week OF twenty-five minutes. Above the
fourth grade, however, the use Of the day
books is commenced. and in this book all
Of the written work OF the pupil Is done.
Form, Iegibility and neatness are insisted
upon. and a reasonable time allowed IN
which to do II. As a result, the average
graduate Of the eighth grade enters the
high school a fairly good writer, the Rv-
erage age being between IA and 10 years.
