Forests Must Be Protect a

Washington--That this nation has
reached the point where it must de-
eide whether it is to lose the use Of
the rivers in the east and south
through the non-preservation of for
ests, which safeguard the watersheds
was the declaration Of Sec Wilson,
president Of the American forestry
association, which convened here Jan
80.
The secretary said the rivers of~the
west are fairly well taken care of on
account OF the forests. He expressed
the hope that congress will take action
to assure the beginning of the work
of the preservation of the forests, and
the safeguarding of the watersheds.
Clifford Pinchot, chief of the forest
service, restated his well-known views
on the conservation of forests.
The membership Of the association
is 1855, of which 1876 were added the
past year.
One Of the objects Of the convention
is to further the movement for the es.
tablishment of national forests in the
White Mountains and the southern
Appalachian range, a bill appropriat.
ing $5,000,00 for the creation Of which
is now pending in congress. The ter
ritory to be set apart comprises about
100000 acres in the south and 60O,-
600 in the White Mountains.
At the afternoon session Secretary
Of Agriculture Wilson was reelected
president and among the. vice-presi.
dents chosen are Edward Everett
Hale, chaplain of the U. s. senate,
and N. ]. Bachelder, master of the ma
tional grange. Otto Leubkert was
elected treasurer.
Prof. George E. Swain of Massachu.
sets spoke on "'The Need of the White
Mountains for Protection" At the
concluding session at night an address
was made by Harvey N. Shepard of
Boston.

Killed in Collision.

Fall PiYor.-While crossing the
electric car tracks Wednesday night
at the Forge road between this city
and Westport factory, Patrick Cum
mings, go years of age, of South West
por, was struck by Dartmouth e
Westport electric, and instantly kill
ed.
His wife, Catherine Cummings, 55
years OF age, who was with her hus-
band, was thrown out, had two ribs
broken and right shoulder fractured,
and was taken to the City hospital,
where her condition is said to be SER
ious. The covered wagon in which
they were riding was demolished and
the horse killed. sBr
The car which struck the wagon
left this city at 6:15 and the Narrows
bridge at $50, bound for New Bed
ford. At this time the electric was
Ave minutes behind time. Motorman
Matthew Durfee of New Bedford and
John Nestor of this city comprised
the crew.
Cummings and his wife were on
their way home. The point where the
accident occurred is regarded as one
of the most dangerous on the Fall
River-New Bedford route. In state
ment made to Medical Examiner Gun
ming who viewed the remains, the
electric was speeding about 10 miles
an hour, on a down grade. The only
witness of the accident was motorman
Durfee, who was overcome by shock
and had to be removed to his home
Cummings body was found on the
north side of the track some distance
from where the crash came. He had
compound fracture of the skull and
was dead when picked up and put
aboard the car and taken to the east
ern station and thence to the city hos
pital.
CumlIIngs was one Of the best
known farmers of South Westport,
having resided there for 20 years. He
previously lived in this city. He

Priest to Face Court.

st. Petersburg, Russia.-Fr. Greg
ory Petroff, the most noted priest in
the Russian church next to FIR. John of
Cronstadt, was deprived of his eccles.
tical rank at a recent session of the
Holy Synod and handed over to the
civil authorities for judgment before
a civil court. An alleged contumely
to the church and state was contained
in letter which he addressed to Arch
bishop Antonius, metropolitan Of St.
Petersburg, and which was widely cir
culated in Europe and America.
FIR Petroff's career as pulpit ora
tor was one of the most brilliant. He
exercised sway over all classes. At one
time he led the family worship Of the
emperor
Since the beginning Of the revolu-
tionary movement he has fallen into
disfavor on account of his liberal
political views. On Jan. "a, 1907, he
was ordered by the Holy Synod to
three months internment in a mon
astery on account Of Christian-Social-
istic doctrines advocated In his paper,
Gods Truth.
On March 2, however, he was elect
ed. by the Constitutional Democrats to

New Castle, at a mass meeting held
recently, made strenuous protest

citizens of that town to preserve the
water front to the town from the de-
mands of the war department and to
save the most valuable property in
the town from being taken from the
tax assessors list. Women as well as
men were present at the meeting.

advanced by Paul Bourget in his play
"A Divorce, L which was given in this
city recently, Aristide BRAND, minis
ter of justice and worship, practical

riages.
He indorses the idea of the gradual
evolution Of the doctrine of divorce
until the point is reached where a
marriage may be contracted for a
specified period under legal safe
guards, protecting the interests of
both parties. He declares it is i'm
possible for those about to enter up
on this relation to know the true
character of their partners and that

that wealthy predecessor who two or
three years ago paid $3.50 for mere
half dozen crackers, specially made
for him by firm of London sill
versmiths. These costly cosaques,
which were enshrined in an exquis-

old lace and figured satin, and each
contained in a silver casket, which
formed Its centre, a valuable ring or
brooch. But, so far as we know,
the costliest cracker on record was
one constructed of gold in such faith

that its modelling kept an industri-

BENEDICT Arnold.

There are renewed efforts to paint
Benedict Arnold in clean, white coll
ors. They remind me of the follow
ing anecdote:
On one of his raids Arnold cap
tured an American officer in Vir-
ginia. After a few days he said:
Captain, what would our country
men do with me If they caught me?"
'Well, sir" replied the captain. 'if I
must answer the question. 1 should
say they would first cut of your lame
leg, which was wounded in the cause
of freedom and virtue at Quebec, and
bury 1t with the honors of war; then
they would hang the remainder Of
your carcass on q gibbetl" - New
