sTUMPED THE PoLrcEMAN
10 Take Him to the jail Last Evening
Policeman Accepted.

Joe Bennett stumped Patrolman Carlo
to take him to the repository beneath
the city hall building last night. and as
long as he was going To take him any
way. the patrolman accepted the stump.
1t was hard tussle for d time, but Carle
had good grit and was started toward
the place where Joe said he couldn't be
landed when reinforcaments came along
and the march was somewhat more ac-
tolerated.
Inc patrolman happened down on Riv-
er street just in time to officiate at a
little tiff between Bennett and a friend,
Bertrand, who were settling ii in the
good old-fashioned way. There was an
admiring crowd Watching the muscular
exhibition when the patrolman hove
around the corner with all sails set be-
fore spanking breeze. The crowd
caught sight Of the blue and yelled,
Cheese II, the copIR They did cheese it,
but Carrie grabbed Bennett and his friend
by the collar OF their shirts ttheir coats
were on the ground) and inquired into
the manner of their doing
1t was then that Joe issued the def TO
the officer, and the latter released his
hold on the other man, realizing that
he couldn't take both, and faced joe
in the direction of the rising sun. joe
started to prove his statement and the
two tussled around the street for iive
minutes or more before the officer got
the upper hands and the twisters on.
During the tussle Carle got the thumb
on the left hand sprained. A short tims
afterwards Patrolman Hamel appeared
and he rendered valuable assistance.
Bennett had two slight cuts in his
neck and one on the hand, gained in some
way that he would not tell. He was
also non.committal when taken before
Judge Scott in city court later in the
evening, although he insisted that he
Rad not been fighting, when arraigned on
the charge OF breach OF the peace. He
was then remanded TO jail for the
night.
Upon his reappeaTance before Judge
Scott this morning, he changed his plea
and admitted bis guilt on that charge
On hearing the story Of the arrest, Judge
Scott also held the respondent on the
charge Of breach Of the peace in assault
ing the officer. On this matter Bennett
changed his mind several times and it
was finally left that he wanted q trial.
Grand Juror. Davis Was inclined to be
lenient with him until he was reminded
By the court that Bennett had previous
Is served a sentence in the county isil
for resisting an officer.
His simple breach Of the peace case
was continued 70 Monday for sentence
and the more serious charge Is due te Be
tried the same dsy.

1 young people TO care for their health
some men who were weak physically
have done great things, but they could
have accomplished much more if theiI
bodies had been strong. We have bodies
and souls and must give the souls food
as well as the bodies. Ii we could see
the soul Of some people we should see
that they were starved,
knowledge IL the food Of the soul and
/ it Will grow with knowledge. Our schools
represent the food OF the soul. Thus
knowledge is an ideal of human life. 1t
requires not only knowledge, but beauty
to feed the soul and an esthetic sense
which enables us TO enjoy music, elo-
cution, statuary, painting and literature,
Ideals cover the whole OF human life and
the spirit Of the ideal Is 20 keep toward
the mark and hold the rudder true.
Some graduates think that when they
get their diplomas they are immediately
elevated above others. This is a silly
absmdity and these people cannot get
far toward success without common
sensc.D We have got to touch elbows
with the men Of the world and should
| not look down upon thufl, but try TO lift
them up.
Thus the speaker brought 60 the minds
Of his hearers the ideals Of health, knowl-
ledge, beauty and common sense, and
then he added, Human liIe is not ideal
without the ideal Of God and a life with
out the acquaintance Of God is q failure.

many times had come to life again

a chair of psychic investigation, and inn
pressed upon his hearers that spirit
ualism was becoming more and more TO
be recognized as the scientific thought
Of the age. Mr. Hubbard closed his ad
dress with an earnest appeal to those
in the audience who were not spiritual
lists to join the greatest truth searching
and revealing institution Of modern
tunes.

TO Divert Hill Street to Avoid
Barre R. R. Crossing.
BARRE OFFICIALS OBJECT
ThereupOn Chairman Redmond Of State
Railroad Commission said There Wasn't
Money Enough in Appropriation to Do
0therwiae-RaiIroad Gets Exemption.

The petition that grade crossing
be abolished on the Barre railroad, for
the hearing Of which the Vermont state
railroad commission held meeting at
the city corrt room yesterday, was de-
nicd after considerable discussion. Tho
cause for the dismissal Of the petition
Is because the commission has nearly
exhausted the amount allowed annual
| " by the state for this purpose. AS
the petition was late in presentation.
Barre will have TO wait for the abolish
ment of crossing until another year.
The state appropriation for the ahol-
ishment Of grade crossings is 100000
each year and the state bears 25 per
cent Of the expense, the railroad 65
per cent and the town or city in which
the crossing is situated 10 per cent.
John w. Redmond, chairman Of the
commission asked the city officials to
consider the changing Of Hill street so
that crossing on the street would not
be necessary. The proposed change
was to divert Hill street so that it
would 60 around the hill to Ayers
street, paralelling the railroad. This,
he said, he wished to be considered as
a part OF scheme for abolishing the
crossings on South Main and Aver
streets in due time. The estimated
cost Of changing Hill street to avoid
crossing the track was s3,500
Mayor Robins, street Commissioner
Ladd and Thurston and Superintendent
Of Streets Bruce were unanimous in
their objections to abolishing the cross
ing in this way, claiming that the road
would not be suitable for the heavy
loads Of granite which are drawn over
ii on account Of sharp turns. 1t was
also suggested that it would be neces-
sary to build considerable wall to hold
the bank from caving into the street
and another objection was that the
close proximity Of the trains would
frighten horses.
S. Hollister jackson stated that he
should consider this to be an abolish
ment Of the highway rather than the
crossing,
Upon listening to the objections rais-
ed, Mr. Redmond stated that the com
mission would be obliged To deny the
petition this year on account of hack of
funds with which to pay the states
share of the expenses OF doing other
than the work lie had outlined.
Upon making this decision the con.
mission declared the Barre railroad ex-
empt from abolishing crossing this
year.
II had been estimated that the cost
of abolishing the South Main street
crossing would be in the vicinity of
1000 and Of the Ayers street cross
ing, $4,000. In the former case the
manner Of procedure would have been
to sink the railroad track beneath The
level of the street and In the Ayers
street case To raise the railroad over
the highway.
