Boston, Mass.-The work Of raz-
ing dangerous walls and CHM
neys which were left standing
in Chelsea after the fire was continued
Wednesday, The ruins of the High
land school and the First Baptist
church were dynamited in the after
noon and the detonation, which was
heard in several surrounding towns,
led to the rumor of another catas-
trophe. The work, which is of neces
sity very delicate task, is conducted
with the utmost case. The police and
building commissioners have planned
to raze certains walls each day until
the ground is cleared.
The Chelsea high school was re-
opened day earlier than had been
anticipated This was accomplished
because the employment and informa-
tion bureaus had been removed to the
veranda of the Review club AS the
voting booths were not delivered 1t
was thought the school would not be
opened for another day, but the mild
weather led to the change. The booths
will be put into use soon. 1t is plan
ned that the high school grades shall
occupy the building from to 10
o'clock. The pupils of the Shurtleff
grammar school will have an after
noon session, probably from 1.30 to
4.30. The pupils of the Shurtleff school
have been attending the Carter school
and this arrangement will relieve the
congestion there.
Medical Examiner George B. Nc
Grath made three examinations Of
bones recovered from the ruins and
thought to be those of human beings
In each case he decided in the mega
tive, and the number of recovered
bodies therefore remains at 18.
The Chelsea relief committee sent
out a tabulated list of expense Of re-
habilitation through the Hawkins
street headquarters. The number Of
families rehabilitated is TIA. Cash
amounting to $3955S2 has been distrib-
uted and furniture valued at $1S,759.31,
making a total of $22,715.13, or an
average of $29,35 to family.
The Spencer avenue school will be
closed entirely as a relief station. Sew
eral days ago it ceased to issue bedding
and clothes and after tonight no
more rations will be issued from there,
nor will any meals be served.
There are still about $50 people in
Chelsea who are receiving meals, and
about 1000 who are still receiving the
army rations.
''As fast as a family is rehabilitated
and obtains work or it is ascertained
that man is earning wages, he is
not allowed to receive any more free
meals.
"The Chelsea firemen of whom about
45 were burned out, have received some
aid, from money which was contribut-
ed by the fire departments of other
cities.
There were about "a school teach
ers burned out and they have received
some assistance from special fund
contributed for that purpose.
"a number Of cases are now turning
up which the committee feels should be
dealt with on lines little outside the
$40 cash limit A widow needs a sew
ing machine, a machinist requires tools
in order to work and family of six
lacks $50 of being able to go to Iowa,
where they are offered home"

Indeed, these novelists are the mes
sengers of Beelzebub putting on the
masks of smiling angels sent to tempt
men; they have magical power by
which they can put men into state
Of anaesthesia and lead them all
along the course of temptation to the
habituation of fallen angels. If man
is caught by them, his destiny will
be degradation. Such books as they
write are the most terrible enemy of
young people. Every household
should build an iron wall to keep out
immoral novels.-Tolkio Yorodzu Cho-

Recently a violent current of
thought has been spreading over our
country. 1t is naturallsm, which has
its earnest advocates among our nov
elists. They seem to think that hu.
man life would not be worth straw
if there we're no sensual pleasures.
They would, therefore, go on spend
ing their whole energy and their ef'
forts to depict the dark side of life
in the most naked manner It is not
necessary to state that fiction written
by such novelists is of vicious char
acter. Even grown-up persons will
not be safe from its bad influence.

DETECTIVE RECOVERING.
Peter Young Will Get Bet
ter After His Dangerous
Accident on Saturday.

Peter Young, who was found injured
in the Erie slime line yards last Sat
urday evening, is still unable to ex-
plain how the accident from which he
is suffering now befell him. The old
man spends most of his time sleeping
and since he was taken to the hospi-
tai he has spoken very rarely. He is
rational, however, when awake, but
does not volunteer conversation. When
his wife asked him this morning while
he was awake what had befell him,
he answered that he did not know,
and added that his arm panied him.
His arm was broken in the accident
which is believed was due to Mr.. Young
stepping into the path of a train. He
was employed by the Erie Railroad
company as night Waterman. His con-
dition is improving and unless COM
plications set in no serious results are
feared.

IS A VERY GREAT SHOW


There is so much that is good in
Beulah Poynters dramatization of
Lena Rivers" that no one wonders at
the extraordinary success which the
work has enjoyed. 1t pictures scenes
and people in the south, not in an ideal
way, but as every one knows them to
be. 1t holds, so to speak, the mirror
up to nature, and if, in its closing
scenes, it makes one cry just a little
bit, it is because of that touch of hui
man nature that is placed there so delft
| ~ that one forgets that he is looking
on mimic stage. Every one who APP
preciates the good that the theater can
do, will like Miss Poynter's play. 1t
is all clean and wholesome; it's atmos-
phere is refreshing, and there is moth
ing suggestive in the story that it I'M
fords. 1t humor is crisp. quaint and
occasionally cracks like a whip. It's
rugged epigrams are delightful and its
bits of homely philosophy are remem-
bered and laughed at over the and over
lagain. The presentation of the play
I at the Towle opera house commencing
next Sunday will introduce a carefully
selected company The engagement
promises to be a record breaker.

POSTS MAKE NET GAINS.

That the G. A r. Posts of Indiana
have made an aggregate net gain in
membership of 128 in the last six
months in spite of the inroads made
by death is shown by the semi-annual
report of the Indiana department G. A
r.. which has Just been completed by
c. ]. R. Fesler assistant adJutant
general. The total net gain during
the two semi-annual periods previously
to the last one. which ended June 80.
was only thirty.
The department is in excellent con-
dition," said Colonel Fesler, and all
the posts are doing well, with prom
ises for even greater gains during the
next period"
During the last six months as
shown by the report, there were 29s
deaths in the G. A. r. ranks The
number of deaths each year is in
creasing. During the first period Of
1905 there were only 1876 deaths. The
number of deaths in the last period OF
1907 was 800. The number of losses by
suspension during the last six months
was 253. The number of losses from
this source in the previous period was
402 Comparison of these figures is
encourag ing. because it shows that the
G. A. r. men are more prompt in pay
ing their dues and, apparently, are TAX
ing more interest than usual in the or
ganization Most Of the suspensions
are result of the payment OF
dues

POLICE COURT NEWS
Police Are Bothered.

The police are in a quandary as to
what to do with the horde of boy
thieves who swarm over into Hammond
from West Hammond and steal every
thing they can lay their hands on.
Today the youngsters became so bold
that several boys ranging between 6
and 10 years Of age actually broke into
the residence of Henry c. Zoll in Ill
East Ogden street by smashing a win
dow glass and took a saw, a hammer,
monkey wrench and several other
small tools.
When the officer brought the young
sters to the police station it looked as
though he had the leaders of a kinder
garten in tow while the rest of the class
followed him to the station.
The boys who were arrested for
breaking into the house were Walter
lBinchi of % Condit street and Mike
wachewicz Of SIT State Line street
The boys are said to have all of the
criminal instincts of a hardened Grim
inal and the police are considering the
matter of having them taken away
from their parents.
