WHIST AND F0kTY.FIvE
Ladies of St. Pasrick's Parish Pre-
 paring For Event.

Thursday and Friday evenings. No Vember B and 24, are the dates set Tor the big whist and forty-five tour nament to be given under the auspices of the ladies of St Patrick's parish at the parish hall on Porter street. It was the intention of the ladies to have whist and forty-five played Jointly on Thursday evening, November g. but as the arrangements progressed the idea of forty-five tournament became so popular and the demands for tick cts of admission so great, 1t was con sidered best to give an evening to the lovers of both games, hence the change. It is needless to say that this f,n- mense card party of two evenings is the social event of the season in St Pauick's parish, the enthusiasm of the men who play forty-five is boundless and they are determined to show that nowhere else in the city can the game be played with more science than ny the men of this section and there is no gainsaying the fact that the whist players of St Patrick's parish can not be surpassed. All the ladies of the parish, without exception. are taking a deep interest in the affair and its success socially and financially is al- ready assured. A meeting of the h. dies who will have charge of the sec tions and of the ladies on the refresh ment committee will be held this ever- ing at o'clock.

REPAIRS ON SCHOOLS
Mr. Taslsy Kept Busy on the Diffsr-
 ens Buildings.

James Turkey, the school mason, who has been appointed in place of Robert Earle, resigned, Is at present working on the east side of the High school, which is in wretch ed shape and which has been hanging fire for some time. The cracks are being filled up, but this is likely to be the only work done in connection with that part of the building before next spring. It has been alarming the members of the board of education, and it was finally decided to at least make the building safe enough so there won't be any danger during the winter. The break on the east ssde has been growing steadily for the past few years and it is surprising it was not attended to before now.
 All of the rooms in the old Crosby school are being painted and the ceil- ings kalsomined. New bookcases nave been built in the offices of the WeIton and Bishop street schools. Steam pipes have been placed in some of the rooms in the High school because the heating by indirect radiation has not been entirely satisfactory. An electric motor has been substituted for the steam engine which has been running the fans at the Walsh school. This latest change was made because such high pressure had to be kept on the engine that it was considered danger ous. Much more work is going on at the present time and Inspector Tyrrelf finds himself very busy.

THE SUPERIOR COURT
Third Week of Harder Trial Begun
 This Morning.

The third week of the trial of Ciria- co Capobianco for the murder of An gelo Solomita on the afternoon of July 2S began in the superior court this morning before Judge Robinson. Ca- pob1anco was under cross examination all the forenoon. The burden of his story was that he was afraid of An tonic Solomita and his brother An gelo and to protect himself against them he began carrying loaded six chamber revolver about a week or two before Angelo was killed. Up to that time he had never carried a revolver or fired one. He got the weapon from an uncle who went back to Italy. It was loaded then and he kept it under his mattress in his bed room. He had never had any trouble with Angelo. He saw Antonio once, or twice from the veranda of his home after he be- gan carrying the weapon but never made any trouble on these occasions.
 On the afternoon of the shooting he left the factory at 5 o'clock, the revolver loaded, in his hip pocket. He took the weapon to the factory and everywhere he went. He went straight to the depot to tell Joseph Perrello that he had got work for his sister ill the clock shop.
 Here Assistant States Attorney Kel- logg tried to show that the accused had some other purpose and that he told the coroner that it was to tell Pe- rello himself that he had got work for him that took him there. Attorney O'Neill objected, claiming that the coroner did not use the accused prop erly by telling him he need not answer any question and yet the coroner piled question after question on him. The objection was overruled and the ac- cused proceeded.
 He said he did not tell the coroner he had secured work for Perrello, it was for his sister he had secured it. At least he meant her when he testi- fled before the coroner. Again Attor- ney O'Neill objected. He maintained that the states attorney was trying to lay traps for the accused, trying to Inislead him.
 MT Kellogg replied, with some warmth, that he never tried to mis- lead anyone or lay traps for them The court intervened and held that the attorneys remarks were out of or der
 Accused resuming. said he once cleaned the revolver on the outside, Ill answer to MT Kellogg's questions if he had cleaned it or practiced shoot ing with it. It was not much after o'clock when he reached the railroad crossing at the depot. There he met four friends. He was talking to them when he saw Antonio near the depot. He did not see him cross the tracks and walk towards the Farrel foun- dry. He lost sight of him for a few moments and when he saw him again Antonio was rushing towards hiDl With Angelo in the rear. Accused said he was then about eight or ten feet from Antonio. He told CiprianO, one of his friends, that he was afraid of Antonio and he went behind Cipriano. As he did so he pulled out his revol- yer and fired between Cipriano and another of his friends. He did not see weapon in Antonio's hands when he saw him first but he had one when he was rushing towards him. Angelo was about three paces away when ac- cused fired.

a NOTE OF APPRECIATION

1t Is a common custom nowadays
for farewell reception to be rendered
a minister when he leaves town. As
Mr. Mitchell was the Protestant minis
ter of longest service in the city it
would have been especially appropriate
if such q reception had been given him.
His own people and great multitude
outside would have delighted TO show
him honor Since he has, however,
with characteristic modesty, as wen as
desire for quiet, slipped away even
before his friends knew Of his intention,
/ think it only right for some to say
a word Of appreciation concerning his
long and fruitful service in the city of
Barre. AS to his work in his own church
some one of his people could speak far
better than + During the eight years
Of his pastorate here beautiful church
edifice has been erected, and during the
year Just past the remainder Of the
debt has been paid. To this end Mr..
Mitchell has worked constantly. giving
Of his own slender means.
SO highly is he respected and loved
by his own parishioners that | have no
doubt that every man, woman, and
child in the Presbyterian church would
hold up both hands for his return, If
that were possible. So far as the rest
Of the community is concerned we shall
be happy to congratulate that church
ii it secures so good pastor as Mr..
Mitchell. His preaching has always
been Of a high order. A student by
nature and a scholar by training he has
used his knowledge for spiritual and
practical ends. His sermons make men
better as we'll as wiser. On the day he
left town | assisted him at a funeral,
and I have not yet forgotten the clear,
simple and deep truth that he earnestly
preached TO that large congregation.
On account Of the nature of their call
ing neighboring pastors are frequently
thrown into close association think
that all the pastors in the city thought
very highly Of him, sought his opinion,
enjoyed his sprightly conversation, and
deeply respected the saintliness Of his
life
In making these statements know
that am voicing the sentiments Of
The other pastors here that know him.

PEACE TALK IN RUSSIA.

Russia's willingness 70 end the war If

war party, are still bitterly opposed to
the idea of peace under present circum-
stances, but with the exception OF the
ministers Of war and marine, the em-
pef0r's ministers, backed by M. Witte,
solidly favor this course, and the con
