the disease stamped out and they would
lend their influence with the others. The
motive of the granite cutters we do
not question. Fundamentally their con-
Germ is for their own preservation and
the preservation Of their families, and
the money side scarcely enters into con-
sideration, Theirs is the motive upon
which We must depend for the success
of the movement which has been inaug-
urated in our state and in our city--the
personal side which appeals more forci-
bly, than does the loss OF gain Of dollars
and cents. Life and health are dearer
than dollars and cents even to the man
who has labored all his life to accumu-
late money and then finds at the end
it il Of no good to him. The life and
health Of the members Of his family
are, too, incomparably Of more import
ance than gold and silver
Yes, the motive back Of this request
to the city council for public meeting
for the dissemination Of knowledge con-
corning this most insidious disease is
all right. It is backed up by the unani-
nous vote Of this, the largest and with
out doubt the most powerful organiza-
ton in Barre. The union alone numbers
1900 members, while the homes and
families thereby involved represent by
far che greater proportion of the popu-
lation Of the city. When the granite
cutters union, with its large member.
ship, takes up this idea, it lends d most
powerful influence to the public good.
There Is q great work for this organiza-
ton along the line Of tuberculosis, as,
indeed, there il for every one Of US.

was part of the honor" connected with
the Office. The constable couldn't see
the honor. He was told to make out
itemized account of his expenditures and
present it to the city attorney. Con-
stable Coutts said hat he should refuse
to 60 outside the city for collecting
taxes if he is not to be recompensed.
Finally, he reported that the Mayor
had given him a good call down" the
same afternoon because the taxes were
not better collected He said that the
more he thought of it the less he liked
it. The mayor then said that when it
was explained to him he saw the diff
culties, and so told the tax collector. 1t
was stated that the account is $500 less
than last year.
The property committee is authorized

The matter of new fire horses was then
brought up, the meeting ending with a
more or less desultory talk on three
proposed pairs. Aldermen Robins and

GRANITE CUTTERS MOVE AGAINST
TUBERCULOSIS.

1t is very fitting that the granite
cutters union Of Barre should be the
first organization Of collection Of ind.
viduals, to take up the question Of tn
berculosis locally, and The Times feels
intensely gratifed that this body Of
men has decided to throw its influence
toward lettering the conditions in this
city, concerning the disease. 1t is fitting
that the granite cutters should first take
up this work, because they are the ones
who are primarily the most interested,
although II must be admitted that there
Is not a person in this city who would
not be interested, were he TO realize
the conditions. The prevention Of the
spread Of this infection is Of consequence
to every one Of us, whether we figure
from the standpoint Of health o. from
the more sordid basis Of money. Through
tho latter it may be possible to reach
some who otherwise would not be in
terested. Let them once know that their
pocketbooks would be better oil with

The Story of the Murder.
The murder of Miss Mabel Page, at
Weston, Mass, on March 81, 1904, for
which Charles L. Tucker was found gull
ty, attracted wide attention ON account
OF the unusual and mystifying circum-
stances surrounding the case.
Miss Page, who was Al years of age,
lived in small country dwelling house
with her father, Edward Page, formerly
prosperous Boston merchant, and her
brother, Harold. She was stabbed to
death with a knife. Basing his exam
nation upon the appearance of the
wounds found in the neck, the only
wound at first visible, the medical ex-
aminer reported that Miss Page had COM
mitted suicide and it was not until an
undertaken had discovered other wounds
that it was established that the woman
had been murdered Near the womans
body was found a note apparently in
Miss Pages handwriting saying that her
brother, Harold, had been injured and
that she was going TO the hospital in
Boston to see him. The fact that her
brother had not been injured added much
to the mystery.
On April /, Tucker was taken to the
Newton police station and examined up
on the strength Of the report that he
had been seen within a third of a mile
of the Page house. After the question
ing, Tucker was released, having salts
fed the police as to his movements.
About week later, as a result of a
further inquiry by detectives, Tucker
was formally charged with the crime.
The governments case against Tucker
included the charge that slip Of paper
containing the address -. L. Morton,
Charlestown, Mass" found beside the
body OF Miss Page, was in the hand
writing of the defendant; that stick
pin found in his pocket had been stolen
| by him from the Page home, and that
broken pieces Of blade found in his
home were parts Of the knife with which
he had stabbed Miss Page.
! The evidence against Tucker was en-
tirely circumstantial.

Mayor Burke Of Burlington says q
word right to the point when he asks
that the wealthy people have civic hon
esty enough to bear their burden Of
taxation. He might also have included
in the list Of those who oftentimes do
not have civic honesty enough to make
out full Inventories, those who are not
so rich but who are Sinking their re-
sponsibility in meeting the expenses Of
the municipality. They are the tax
dodgers who either do not put in correct
inventories or who find it convenient to
move out Of town for season Of the
year when the listers are most apt to
be around. They are generally the pay
ers Of poll taxes, that is, they would be
payers if enough honesty had Judgment
in their makeup. 1t is easy to find
them In every community, and they are
pointed at with the finger Of scorn by
all those who have the best civic inter
ests at heart.

and believed Mrs. Morgan was to blame

and walked to q parlor up one flight,
where Mrs. Morgan was at work as
a stenographer. Without word To the
unsuspeeting woman, Mrs. Young shot
her iii the back, the bullet penetrating
the lung and liver. AS Mrs. Morgan
fell she cried: My God The woman

Holding the revolver in her hand,
Mrs. Young awaited the arrival Of the
