OF the Associated Charities last evening.
The directors OF last year were again
chosen. Mrs. II. ona reported she had
$50 for the purpose OF sending a nurse
from time 10 time 10 visit the sick. Miss
A. r.. owen, agent OF the organization,
favored the adoption OF a plan for fur
nishing work for women.
George ii. Webb, treasurer OF the Paw
tucket Manufacturing company, made
brief remarks TO the effect that he came
TO the meeting to recommend that tho
benefciaries Of the association be con-
fined TO women and children, particularly
children. He said that the manufacturing
company he represents has trouble all the
time 10 obtain enough workmen, mention
ing the cleaning OF castings as a part OF
the work in which not enough workmen
can be obtained. He said that there Is
work 10 be found by any man who Ia will
ling to work. and that the Pawtucket
Manufacturing company prefers that It's
minus subscription 10 the Associated
Charities be not used 10 aid idle men.
The agent replied that the beneficiaries
are almost altogether women and chill
dren. men applicants being sent TO the
Salvation Army Industrial Home. This
chairman said that rarely Is money given
as aid. and hat the association does not
aid indiscriminately. Mr.. Webb thought
that fgel should be given rarely. as II IL
a direct aid TO a man In supporting his
family. and that clothing for women and
children is the best form In which aid can
be given.
The agent replied that clothing is fire.
qTently given TO women and children. and
that almost all the mems clothing or
hand had been sent 10 the Salvation
Army.
The meeting was adjourned, subject to
the call Of the secretary.

A private letter below from a
friend in Maine is somewhat sugges-
tive of the feeling over the Mary Rog-
ers case outside the state:
81 guess Mary Rogers will have to
90 this time, but it is a disgrace to
the state to murder one that is little
better than an imbecile, and the man
that does the job must have some
thing pleasant to think of the rest of
his life. After all, it is only few
years since the good old Orthodox
Christians of New England hung
and burned at the stake women who
differed from them in religion, and
in few days in the good state Of
Vermont there will be erected mon
ument to a man whom few years
ago an angry mob shot to death in
Nauvoo, ILL.,, because he invented a
different way to get eternal life.
Verify we are creatures subject to
change without further notice, as

Some Physical Facts.

A persons eyes are out Of line in
two cases out Of five and one eye is
stronger than the other in seven
persons out of ten. The right eye
Is also as a rule higher than the left.
Only one person in fifteen has per-
feet eyes, the largest percentage OF
defects prevailing among fair haired
people. The smallest vibration Of
sound can be distinguished better
with one ear than with both. The
nails of two fingers never grow with
the same rapidity, that Of the mid
die finger growing the fastest. In
ffty-four cases out of hundred ths
left leg is shorter than the right.

SLAIN~WllH AN AXE
Thomas Mccormick Killed
by w. d. AlIard After a
Drunken Quarrel.

In drunken quarrel last Satur-
day evening at the house of Wilman
d. Allard near Bridgewater village,
just over the line in Woodstock,
Allard felled Thomas Mccormick
with club, put rope around his
neck, drew the man outside the door,
and as he lay there unconscious il
not already dead, smashed in his
skull with two blows of a heavy
axe.
Allard then went to the house OF
Charles Sprague, where he said
somewhat excitedly that he had got
rid of Mccormick. Shortly after his
wife took him back home, where he
was arrested by Constable A II, Pin
ney of Bridgewater and brought tc
Woodstock jail. He made no resist
ance, but threatened to kill the Off
Ger because he wasn't allowed to take
another drink of whiskey before he
left the house.
No one saw the tragedy. Allarc

aid.
The state could hardly be working
''back" to prohibition, but the peo-
pie of Vermont may be working to-
ward it under the local option
method-the only way to the real
thing in prohibition. 1t makes a
vast difference in results whether the
people OF town say ave will not
sell liquor" or whether the state
says to them, "You shall not sell
liquor" 1t is because our good
friends, the so-called "prohibition-

at st. Albans,. Vt: At the annual

committee appointed to canvass the

of the committee Thought -ib-'vo'lld
be an excellent plan to have tho
judges name at the head of this list
and to that end approached him
The judge absolutely refused tc
make contribution and when ques'
toned as to the reason said, "Whl
should | subscribe toward a new
hearse when | haven't ridden in the
old one vet ?"
