Lyman RI Howe's Llfeorama at Audi
torium Tonight,

Familiar though they are. the modern
moving picture is one of the greatest-if
not the greatest achievement and inven-
ton of modern times. Ordinary photo
graphy that pictured only the form Of
life and nature was itself considered
truly wonderful when first invented. But
tie possibility also of photographing the
motion of all things is of so recent date
tfIat less than two decades ago the mere
suggestion would have been ridiculed as
utterly impossible. The widest imagin-
alton of our forefathers could not con-
ceive or admit the possibility of such
wonderful exhibition as Lyman II. Howe's
-Ifeorama which has been presented here
during the past few years to crowded
houses on each visit An entirely new
program of notable scenes contributed
by many lands and events will be shown
in the Auditorium tonight

Representative from WaIpoe Created a
Sensation.

Representative O'Neil of Walpole Gre
ated something of a sensation in the New
Hampshire Legislature Thursday during
the consideration OF an act to incorporate
the Spaulding. Jones Power Co. and to
authorize it to build a dam across the
Merrimac river eight miles below Man
chester
Strenuous efforts to kin the bill were
made by representatives, who avowed
themselves as friends of the Amoskeag
Manufacturing Co. of Manchester the
largest cotton manufacturing concern in
the world.
In reply to one of the speeches against
the bill. O'Neil said
If there is a Jethro Bass in New
Hampshire today, he sits in the Office Of
the Amoskeag corporation in Manchester
There he plays keys which cause puppets
to rise up and to do his will in every city
and town in the state.
Some Of them rose up in Walpole to try
10 influence me. Their tactics failed
with me- but prevailed with others
Men have told me that they wished
to vote for the bill, but dared not do it.
l pity them and l deplore the condition
OF affairs in New Hampshire which
makes their situation possible.
The B. & NJ. has been widely adver-
tised as the chief corporate lobby influ-
ence in New Hampshire, but in reality
it is subsidiary to the Amoskeag corpo-
ration"
Rep. Lord OF Manchester offered an
amendment to the bin fixing the height Of
the dam, upon which, after an extended
debate, the vote was ia to 1870 against
the amendment
The speaker ruled that less than two
thirds of the total membership having
voted, and that less than two-thirds of
those voting being recorded on either one
side or the other, no valid action was
taken and the bill passed into unfinished
business.

NORTHAMPTON PRIZE GARDENS.
Lecture Before the Woman's Club by
George w. cable-Means Of Making
8rattleboro More Attractive


Home gardens as a means OF making
Brattleboro more attractive and Of pro-
noting a neighbory spirit was the theme
of a lecture given by George w. Gable of
Northampton the well known author and
worker for the public good, before the
Woman's club and friends in Grange hail
Wednesday evening. Mr.. Gable gave an
interesting and practical account Of what
had been done by the prize garden move
ment in Northampton and urged that a
similar movement be started in Brattle-
boro. He pledged the heartiest co-opera-
ton of the northampton people and Of
fered all possible assistance in getting
the movement under way. His most fun
damental suggestion was that the board
of trade establish fund to he dsbursed
i'm prizes after the manner of the prizes
given each year in his own town.
Mr.. Gable was the organizer and chief
promoter of the prize gardens of North
ampton and in opening he told of how he
had first become interested in the work
Eight years ago he was fishing trout with
Andrew Carnegie i'm a Scottish lOch when
Mr. Carnegie told something of what had
been done in the way of stimulating an
interest in artistic gardening in his ma
tive town of Dunfermlne. Mr.. Gable be-
came interested and subsequently Mrs
Carnegie gave fund Of 500 a year for
the prize gardens of Northampton.
Mr. Gable continued, giving the re-
suits of the practical experiences Of the
Northampton people. Among the things
which they had carefully avoided were
making children eligible to the prizes,
taking hold of any public garden project
making the prizes so small that they
would not be really worth striving for
and allowing all the prizes to be won by
any one section of the town. The prizes
offered in Northampton last year were 20
in number ranging from Sl5 to $3.50. No
two consecutive prizes could be won by
the same district and no winner could
afterwards compete for prize in the
same or a lower class. There was also a
prize for a nighborhood garden, compris-
ing a group of adjacent houses. The prize
garden association has bought three acres
in the centre of Northampton where they
are to construct model gardens this year.
At these headquarters there is plant
exchange where amateur gardeners can
secure plants, bulbs and seeds at low
rates with good advice thrown in.
The lecture was fairly well attended
and before Mr. Gable spoke there were
selections by a quartet consisting of Mrs.
w. +. Hubbard. Miss Emma Gregg, Mrs,
Eric Landry and Mrs. r. c. Bacon. Mrs.
G. e. Warner presided and introduced
