MILL HELP SCARCE
In Textile Manufacturing Centers As
Shown by Labor Bureau Statistics.

Boston, Oct. 1I.-Recent complaints of
scarcity of mill help in the textile man
uIacturing centers are emphasized by the
bureau of statistics of labor in a new
bulletin issued, today The bulletin says:
ON all sides, a scarcity of mill hands
IS reported. This condition Of affairs is
not only true of Massachusetts, in the
New England states, but the Southern
and even the English textile certers are
feeling the want of skilled operatives.
Despite the fact that competent help in
Massachusetts is scarce, the situation is
nothing alarming and where there are in
a few instances as many as 20O0 looms
IDLE some mills report running to full ca
pacity. In New Bedford, the system Of
ming IS thought to be responsible for the
scarcity OF Weavers, it being alleged that
unjust fines are imposed and that weavcrs
are leaving the city for positions fully

Charles d. Northy Jr., met his death
by shooting, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwin ]. Cooper and the solution
of as to how he met his death seems
as uncertain as the afternoon when the

will tend toward the placing of the
cause of the crime. The country folk

was afloat that County Attorney Leigh

The Cooper children have returned
to school and Mr.. Cooper is staying
at the home of H. d. Cooper over the
village store, having announced his de-

murder. Other parties more or less

of Charlie Northy and Mrs. Cooper
from their midst, the village folk
would find it hard to realize what has
happened.
Mr.. Cooper refuses to be interviewed,
having absolutely nothing to say and
his neighbors, too, are now somewhat
reticent in speaking of past events,
preferring to keep as far as possible
from notoriety, nevertheless they all
express the sentiment that they hope
the guilt in this awful tragedy will be
placed.
The exaggerated reports published
in some of the papers, in regard
to the tragedy has done much
toward the above feeling and while the
villagers have many times heard Of

AGAINST PAVING.

The city council committee on
streets has decided to report against
paving the sidewalks on North State
to Capitol Hill and First North street
from Main to State streets. The city
owns some property there, and the
real reason for the adverse report is
that the city does not want to incur
its proportion of the expense of paw
ing
More than sufficient of the other
property owners are in favor of max
ing the improvement, and it is a ques'
ton whether under those circum-
seances the council has a right to re-
fuse to order the work done. Cap
, itol Hill is becoming a private resi-
dence district. The state will some
day not very far off build the capitol
there. All improvements should be
encouraged in that section especially
when the property owners demand
them and are willing to pay for
them.

have tuberculosis and other ailments.
Disease prevails everywhere, and each
has its peculiar cause, and most of
them their especial remedies. Among
the followers of Mrs. Eddy are many
fathers and mothers of little children.
Statements such as this one mean
nothing but increased mortality among
infants, for denying the existence of
the germ of scarlet fever is equivalent
to denying the disease itself. If there
is no cause there is no effect, hence
the child is not sick and needs nc
treatment. While granting that the
exercise of the mind over the matter
it directly controls may prevent GER
tain diseases, if taken in time, the
writer maintains that no such influence
can be exerted over the physical It's
sues of child by the mind of a par
ent, and the undeveloped brain of the
infant is not prepared for any such
metaphysical action as would be re-
CURED to save itself from unhappy re-
suits. Mrs Eddy has another think
coming. If she is a sensible woman,
who loves humanity, she will reverse
herself; if she is fanatic, she will
stick to it, but oh, what lot of ser.
ious consequences will follow.

LITTLE RADIUM ON EARTH.
Not One-Tenth of an ounce in the
Whole World.

Sir William Ramsey, the noted
scientist, declares that there is not
one-tenth of an ounce of radium in
the whole world" says the New York
Times. If you can imagine getting
that amount of radium together it
would supply more energy than 25o
tons of dynamite.
Few persons who talk about radium
and it's components realize the great
scarcity of the raw material for yield
ing radium or the exceedingly minute
particles used in experiments that
have astounded the world. 1t is i'm
possible to say where the future sup
ply of the raw material is to come
from. 81 believe" says Sir William,
"that in America carnottte looks
promising as the basis for it. Cleav-
lite, mineral found in Norway, is also
looked upon as favorable source OF
supply"
