Mr.. FARLow SURPRISED.
On the Startling Developments at Con-
cord, N. H..

Boston. March 2.-Alfred Farlow, pu.
blicity representative of the Christian
Scientists, was much surprised when the
Inewspapermen dropped in on him at his
Office in the Huntington Chambers last
evening.
~rhis is the first notice have re-
eeived Of any action being taken against
Mrs. Eddy he said. a cannot see any
reason why an injunction should be ask
cd, as Mrs Eddy Is competent to man
age her own affairs without instruction
from anybody.
@TIs talk about Mrs. Eddy being
under cantrol Of her secretaries Is non
sense During the past few months !
have personally seen and talked with
Mrs Eddy and therefore / do not hest
tate to say that she is enjoying good
health. has full command Of her facul-
ties, and knows just what to do or what
not to do.
"Mrs. Eddy, as head OF our church.
has considerable work TO do and the
splendid way in which she has accom-
plished results amply demonstrates that
she is fully able to look after her money
matters and her property.
Il do not understand why the trus-
tees should be brought into the suit. as
out work directly concerns the running
Of the church, and we are not identitied
in any way with The parties praying
for the injunction"
Further tlfan this, Mr.. Farlow would
not talk, as he said tho matter must
be considered by the trustees before
any statement could be given To the
public.

man IN active business, is DR. Edward
Q. Whipple of Dandy, who although
81 Years Of age, gives all his attention
TO q large practice which necessitates
long drives through the mountain roads
Of the southern part Of Rutland county.
Dr. Whipple heeds midnight drive no
more than he did 40 years ago and he
has always been 50 successful that his
circle of patients In his part Of the
county ~ extremely large, although he
still adheres to cold school" methods.
Dr. Whipple has remarkable physi-
que, passes his leisure hours In scien-
tiiic reading and, although he allows

At the age Of 16 he left the home farm

rived in town of the middle west with

AN OPINION
RECEIVED
"WOrkingmen's Ticket" NOT
Discriminatory
SAYS The COMMISSION
Question Of the 2Ia-cent Fare fer Ger
tain Electric Cars was Referred
to the Board Some Time
Since.

Officials Of the Barre Central Labor
Union, and others who wrote some time
ago to The chairman Of the stata Rail-
road Commission, John M. Redmond of
Newport, asking fox an opinion from that
board regarding the alleged discrinina-
tion on the part of the Barre and Mont
pelicr Power and Traction company III
issuing two and one-half cent fares on
certain cars, specified as wnrkingmen's
cars, have received reply from that
gentleman. The answer construes the
giving OF the half-rate tickets as noe
discriminatory, under certain provisions,
namely, if the tickets are good TO any
one travelling on the cars specified and
ii the schedule Is posted according to
the specifications of the railroad law,
which was passed at the last session Of
the Legislature.
The railroad commission was first In
terrogated bn the matter III the month
of December following the time when
the law became operative. Before that
period the company had granted the
smaller. fare for the short trip within
the city limits, to the men who were
accustomed to travel over the lines four
times during the day, to and from their
work. When the "workingmen's tickctsn
were withdrawn, the Central Labor Union
took up the matter and tried to induce
the company To restore them, butrto no
avail. None of the tickets have been
issued since their first removal. 1t may
be stated also that the worknen have
generally been walking since.
The matter has awakened the city
government to look into the franchise
Of the traction company, and it Is now
charged that the company has been vio-
lating the stipulations of It's franchise.
As result the council took its action
of Thursday evening in demanding that
the franchise be lived up to or legal
action win follow. Within the past few
days notice has been served on the city
policemen (regulars) and the firemen Din
nniforln) that they win be carried free
Of charge, as agreed to in the franchise.
For the period following the adoption Of
the railroad law, the company demanded
fare from them the same as other pas
sengers. II was one Of the demands Of
the council Thursday night that the po
licemen and fremen be carried without
charge.
