Former Pastor Installed.

Rev. Francis A. Poole, formerly
pastor of the Congregational church
of Barre, was installed Tuesday as
pastor of Worcester, Mass, Union
church. After Mr.. Poole's statement
of faith, the installing council voted
to proceed with the program; but,
prior to that, there was considerable
of a sentiment in favor OF doing
away with the formal procedure be-
cause of the satisfactory statement
by the minister. This discussion is
told about by the Worcester Tele-
gram of yesterday, as follows;
$50 comprehensive was Rev. Mr..
Poole's statement of faith, and so
firmly did his brethren believe in his
creed, that Rev. DR.. Archibald Nc
Cullagh would have the council lay
aside all precedent in this matter.
and accept it then and there, without
the usual formula of tHe council re-
firing, as is it's traditional usage in
| exercises of this nature.
Rev. Thomas E. Babb, of Holden,
| the MODERATOR, said that while that
would be perfectly right on this oc-
casion, it might not be so on all oc-
casions, and therefore no distinction
ought to be made.
THE council and DR.. McCullagh,
therefore, accepted the old form of
procedure, and the private council
took place"
After the close of it's deliberations,
the council voted to install Rev. Mr..
Poole, announcement having been
made by Rev, Thomas E. Babb, of
Holden, Mass.

LECTuRED AT GODDARD.

DIR. Frederick w. Hamilton Spoke to
Students on education For Eli
cheney.
Dr. Frederick w. Hamilton, presi-
dent of Tufts College gave an inter-
estihg lecture at Goddard Seminary
last evening to most of the members
of the student body and number of
other people who showed great in
terest in his discourse.
DR.. Hamilton spoke upon the sub
ject Education for Efficiency" and
covered it in a thorough manner.
He began with the Latin races and
showed that even in ancient times
all education was vocational training
the men for that which was to be
their life work.
So he came down to recent times,
to the times of today and then spoke
of the public school system of this
country. The day has come, said the
speaker, when we shall increase the
opportunities of the boys when they
leave the public schools after passing
school age by adding industrial
schools for those who do not go higher
than the public schools to teach them
the science as well as the art of the
trades.
Then no matter what a mans occu-
patton he would be an educated man
At the conclusion of the lecture an
informal reception was held when Dr.
Hamilton met many of the people
y Who attended the lecture.

SPECIAL CITY MEETING.
CITY Cannot Issue Any More Water
works Bonds.

Barre had a special city meeting
last evening, when considerable
amount of business was transacted in
a short time. About twenty-five vot-
ers were present and most of them
were of the same mind so long wind
ed discourses were avoided.
After the election of H. w. Scott, as
moderator, the matter of issuing wa
ter bonds for the purpose OF paying
the expenses of the new Orange Brook
reservoir was brought up.
City Clerk Mackay stated that he
had been in communication with a
firm of attorneys in Boston, who ad-
vised him that under the city's char
ter the city had no right to issue any
= more water bonds.
The explanation was that under the
charter the city could issue water
bonds TO the amount of $250,000 and
this it had already done.
Notwithstanding that $4,000 of
these bonds have already been re-
deemed, the opinion of the experts
was that the city had no right to is
sue more under its charter.
After this explanation the meeting
voted to rescind vote passed at a
meeting on April 2S, 1909, when it
was voted to issue water bonds to
cover the expenses of the building
. of the new reservoir.
The third article of the warning
was to see wheather the city would
voted to rescind vote passed at q
meeting held July 6, 1909, to issue
bonds to cover the cost of the land
and building of the new Camp Street
school house.
1t was explained that owing to the
condition of the Money market at the
present time, bond experts had ad
vised the City Council that bonds
could not be issued so advantageous
ly as a little later. The previous ac
ton was rescinded
A resolution was then adopted b.
which the city was authorized to is
sue and sell school bonds to the am
cunt of $4,000 for the purpose o
paying for the new building.
In this article it was further re
solved that the Mayor, chairman o
!. finance committee and city treasure
Ne authorized to sell the temporar,
notes of the city to the amount O
$4,000 in the anticipation of the is
suing of the bonds, the same to b
cancelled out of the proceeds of tn
bonds when issued.
DR.. Lindsay says that he has nc
discovered anybody else with simila
symptoms and he thinks there wi
be no more cases developed.
In the meantime, the regula
Thanksgiving vacation of one wee
has been extended two weeks tn
extra week will be taken off from tn
Christmas vacation, and the Semir
airy authorities will do everything
their power to help Dr. Lindsay.

English Language.

A class was started at the Y. NJ.
c. A. Wednesday, the object of which
will be to teach foreigners to speak

at the Y. NJ. c. A. last evening, five
Spaniards, three Italians and one
German. Only two of them could
understand any English at all, and
{ they only very slightly. In fact quite
little trouble was experienced by
the teachers in getting them to I'M

Deafness Cannot Re Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Ia by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

CHARGED WITH LARCENY.
Young Man Arrested in Connection
With Loss of Il Large Sum of Money

A young man named Joseph Guidi-
ci was arrested at 7:30 last evening
by Officer earle on warrant charg-
ing him with grand larceny. This ar
rest is the result of a complaint which
George McAuley made to the police
Sunday night that he had been rob-
bed of a large sum of money.
1t was thought for time yesterday
that McAuley was not coming to en-
ter complaint for warrant, but he
finally appeared in the afternoon.
1t is not known positively that Gui-
dici was the man who got the money
but he will be given a hearing in City
court today.

him all the liquorhe wanted. In the
afternoon he said he fell in with an
other young man who lived here in
the city but he did not know his name.
This man went and got pint of whis-
| key and after that was gone, just
about dark, he proposed that they
have another pint. McAulay said he
pulled out his money while Their were
standing on some dark corner of
River street. On account of the dark
ness the other fellow lighted match
so that McAulay could see and as he
pulled out the big wad of bills the
young man grabbed them from his
hand and scooted away. McAulay said
he chased him a short distance but
could not run fast enough to keep
within sight of him. Officer Garlic
said that hesaw McAulay and young
man answering the description of the
man McAulay claims took his money
together on River street several times
during the afternoon and that the
young man appeared considerable in
toxicated. McAulay said that he
thought he wouldbe able to get the

The reports of the Travelling Lii
brary Department of the State Lib
rary Commission shows a marked in
crease in the demand for free trav-
cling libraries. In 1901 the State re-
ceived 16 applications, in 1903 there
were IS new applications sent in, the
following years there were 16 and IA
respectively. In 1905 10 new stations
were established, followed in 1906 by
II and in 1907 by 10. The number
of applications increased in 1908 to
10, and this year 26 new
applicants have received the trav-
cling libraries. Most of these Ii
braries are for the general public,
some are selected especially for
schol work and others for study
clubs. They are free on application

STATE LIBRARY ITEMS
Has Brookfield the Oldest public iii

Has Brookfield the Oldest public lib
rary in the State. Eighteen
year ago in 1891 the library
sent the greetings to it's former 'mem-
bers, attendants and friends" and in
vited them to the centennial ami
versary of this town library" The in
vitation states that ut is doubtful if
there is an association like this eX-
listing in the State of Vermont for so
long a time" In the historical adj
dress of the occasion June eth, 1891,
is given as the day when articles
of agreement were signed and sealed
by far-sighted and earnest men in
the community, and the Public Libra
ry of Brookfield is said to be a
unique and honored institution" AS
the same address repeatedly men,
lions subscribers and dues, the word
public can hardly be used with the
meaning of public" today; which is
free to the public. 1t is interesting to
learn that not till 1874 were the la.
dies allowed to be present at the
quarterly meetings or permitted tC

If your town mas public library
it belongs to you, why not use it? 1t
does not make any difference if you
are boy or a girl, man or woman,
whether you pay taxes or not. There
are books and magazines, some
times pictures, too, that you may en-
joy just as keenly as if your name
instead of the librarys, were printed
on the first page. If you do not
know which to choose, ask your
teacher or the librarian will help
you The librarian can show you how
to find answers to all sorts of ques-
