GERMANY IN THE WAY.

London Oct. 7.--Germany looms
large as an obstacle in the way Of an
international conference for settlement
of the Balkan mbroglio. Austria Hun.

Of the opposition. Back of her the

BARRE UNIONS DECIDE
NOT TO ADOPT "SIGNAL "
Offer from the Rutland Trades and Labor
Council Was Rejected at a Special
Meeting Last Evening.

A special meeting Of the Central Labor
union OF Barre and vicinity was held
last evening for the purpose OF discussing
the adyisability Of buying the plant OF
tne Union Signal, the labor paper which
has been published at Rutland, and re.
moving it to this city. After consider.
able discussion, none of which seemed
TO favor the adoption OF The Signal by
the Barre unions, it was voted that the
offer Of the Trades and Labor Council
OF Rutland to sell the outfit be re-
jected.
All admitted the possibility of doing
good work by the means of a state labor
paper, but The Signal has been anything
but a paying venture and the members
of the Barre Central Labor Union did
not feel equal to assuming the paper,
including the liabilities OF an uneXpred
subscription list. Lack of interest in
The Signal probably tended to its non
support by the union men OF the state.
As most Of the crafts have journals OF
thelr own, Inc signal has gone a.beggng
for readers.
The local unions of Barre have proba-
bly, given as much for the support OF the
paper as any in the state, and only a
short time ago contributions of from five
to twenty five dollars were given by the
locals of the city toward its maintenance.
Philip Halvosa, who has been editor and
manager OF the paper for the past three
years, has accepted position with the
Boston American.
There is probably no other central
union in the state that win care to as
sumo the responsibility OF trying TO put
The Signal onto a paying basis, and the
refusal OF the Barre union TO attempt it
probably means the demise OF The Sig.
nal, or at least its temporary retire
ment

TOO GOOD TO MISS.
Barre Will See a Splendid Play in
"Pierre of the Plains"

!
"Pierre of the Plains"
1t is by good fortune that Barre is
able to see Edgar Selwyn in Pierre of
the Plains before the theatre goers of
New York have chance to see the
production. 1t is new thing and has
not yet been presented in the large cities.
When Selwyn completes the present tour
at the end of this week he will go to
New York City and open Monday even
ing at the Hudson theatre, one of the
leading houses of the metropolis. The
success which the play has met with on
the road indicates that it will have a
big run in New York and the Barre
people who miss this chance will surely
regret it.
Mr. Selwyn. with Mrs. Selwyn and
Mr. and Mrs. Henry b. Harris, will ar
rive in town this afternoon, coming from

State University Getting IN Touch With
Common Schools.

More and more the University authorities
are striving TO link the institution to the
com mon schools OF the State. Several men,
bers of the present faculty have for years
been closely Identified with the common
schools-teaching In the Slate and county
bodies and the public on school matters.
Realizing that the high school situation IN
the State was far from satisfac actory, the Board
OF Trustees little more than two years ago es-
tablshed In the University chair OF second
ary education, and called 10 II man who
had taught for nearly twenty years IN the
com on schools. most OF that time In South
Carolina. Prof Hand began by giving half
of his time TO teaching In the Institution, and
Within less than year the demand for bis
time was 80 heavy that from that time since
be has given almost bis entire time to this
high school work over the State. In the
mean time the Legislature has appropriated
$50 900 annually TO aid the high schools, and
the State Board of Education made Prof.
Hand its Slate Inspector, further linking the
institution TO the schools. There are now n
round numbers one hundred Slate aided
high schools, town and rural. These schools
are getting the benefit OF bis services In
building courses OF study, classifying their
work, and urging on the improvement OF
these schools For the first time In the his
tory OF the State all the colleges and the pub.
lie at large have access to detailed tabulated
Information as 10 the actual work done in all
the high schools Of the State. The volume
T. ns OF ID formation which pass through this
office are heavy, and are growing almost
daily. This department OF the University Is
devoted TO the educational Interest OF the
State rather than to the individual 1nterest
of this institution.
