The Board of Public Works met
Monday afternoon, to consider the
levying of assessments in the districts
affected by the paving and macadam-
izing orders. Preliminaries were dis
'cust cuseeds and ~~tl~ ~tl,e~ board djeurned-~
meet again last evening.
Norwood Times: Miss Raymond
was asked to continue in the primary
room At an advance but she has not
yet decided to accept. The board
offered her $48 and she wants $50.
We do not believe she can afford to
leave Norwood and go to any other
town IN the etate, certainly not in
this county, for the difference.

MASSES IN THE LATE WAR.
The Invading Hosts of Manchurta
outnumbered the Armies
of All Times.

The great feature Of the war has been
the huge masses engaged. Leipzig IT.
self in this respect compares poorly win
Mukden, says the Saturday Review.
The host OF 1912 were not so numerous
as those that invaded Manchuria, and
Borodino may outrival Liaoyang in hor-
rors, but not in numbers OF guns or
men that fought. Yet II is surely re-
markable that after an unbroken record
Of defeat on such q huge scale the Rus
slams still can show an army fully
equipped and organized in position.
Liaoyang and Mukden were truly
enough to break the spirit and dissolve
the ranks OF the stoutest troops In the
world.
In spite Of the list Of killed and
wounded. Of the prisoners, Of the guns
and trophies the war could still have
been carried on. Yet Marengo, a mere
skirmish In comparison to these BATTLES
OF giants, decided the fate Of a nation.
Jena laid a kingdom in the dust. Even
Friedland compelled a car to come 10
terms.
What is IL that made Mukden indie
cisiYe and could allow the car still to
dream Of victory when for a year and
half not a CLEAN of success had shOne
for q moment on his bayonets? The ter
rane in which the battles were fought
had, OF course. much to do with II. but
tie very vastness Of the armies had
more. An army OF several hundreds Of
thousands cannot be moved like one Of
a third the size. The telegraph may do
much. but II cannot annihilate space
where movements of men are concerned,
and to pursue a beaten foe requires
prompt action and energy. which are
only possible where events take place
under the eye and within the direction

which throws the chief strain upon the

MISUSE OF THE TELEPHONE
Abominanls Small outrages That
Are Committed BY Wire
Every Day.

Again are we moved to express saw
age anImosity against the exemplars
OF brutal selnshness who, when they
wish to get somebody on the teIe-
phone. have an underlng call that
somebody from that somebody's ouSl-
ness, only to tell him to wait mo-
ment" while the man who wants 10
talk takes his time In going TO tue
transmitter. This, declares the Ne"
York Times, is one of the most abom-
Unable of small outrages. and yet IL Is
committed thousand and thousands OF
times a day in this city alone, and now
often the thing happens In the Whole
country nobody could count. Yet we
never heard even q single defense OF
the practice-never knew OF man
who did not foam with rage when him
self the victim OF II. The telephone
necessarily, or at least habitually, gives
so many and such extraordinary prlVl-
Ieges in the way Of securing attention
that those who want and obtain H.
often from men into whose ofices they
would have great difficulty in gaining
access in person. might at least have
the common decency to make the trou-
BILE they cause as small as possible and
to use up no needless amount Of the
other mans time. Probably the only
way to cure this evil is to refuse to
talk to anybody for whose convenience
the insolent request TO wait a mo-
ment" has been made. That might in
terfere with business somewhat for
awhile, but the lesson would soon be
learned. and after that the telephone
would be freed from what is unques-
lionably the most Irritating conse-
quence OF it's invention.

At the Autumn Weddine-

Empire styles will be a popular note
for the fall wedding. as more than one
bridal gown Is planned in short waist
ed effect, and il is a particularly pie
turesque style for the bridemaids or
maid OF honor of the tall and slender
type. II also gives a pretty chance to
substitute the little Juliet cap for the
hat at an evening wedding. This Is q
little three-cornered continuance which
fts in between the front and back Of the
hair and reaches from ear to ear. They
are seen at many evening weddings. and
are especially pretty with the Juliet
style OF gown. They may be made Of
wired lace or silver cords sewed to tiny
wires, or Of Roman pearl beads strung
In the same way, and are 80 simple that
they can easily be home made, although
being as yet an imported novelty they
are expensive to buy. At one wedding
the maids wore long Italian gowns Of
soft cream satin, with square neck and
high pulled sleeves. and wore with them
these little caps made In silver lace.
