The Vassar Girls.

The Vassar Girls, the second num-
Der of Barton's entertainment course,
drew very good audience Monday
evening in spite of the storm. On
the whole the concert was very good
and much enjoyed. The saxophone
appeared to be the favorite instru-
ment of this company of jolly musi-
clans and the major part Of the enter
tainment consisted of saxophone mu-
sic in sextettes, septettes, quartettes,
etc. but the orchestra work of the
company was also excellent and heart
lily encored. The solo work of Mar.
tha Sandagar, violin and that of Mar
tina Washington Hall, soprano saxo-
phone was easily the most pleasing to
the audience and the first in "Ken-
lucky Home" as an encore showed a
wonderfully sweet touch. Bessie
Bonnie" played as an encore by Miss
Hall, was the work of an artist deser-
wing the applause she received. The
cornet soloist was also we'll received.
= From the start the program grew
better until the whirlwind finale of
four comets and three slide trombones
In "Fsnfare la Militaire," from
Sousa left strong taste for another
visit of these artists.

Dies after Lying All Night Unconsciou


William Wilson, who lives with his
brother. Fred Wilson, in the west part
of Derby, met death in peculiar man
ner Wednesday night, Dec 1. Coming
home late, he went to the barn and by
mistake walked out of the wrong
door, falling 80 feet to the yard below.
He struck on his head on the frozen
ground, inficting several bad wounds.
AS his habits were somewhat erratic
the family thought nothing of his ab-
sence. When Fred Wilson went to the
barn at four o'clock the following
morning he found the PROSTATE form
of his brother in the yard. covered
with blood and with both hands fro
zen. He was unconscious and lived
but twelve hours after being found.
The dead man was carpenter by
trade. The funeral was held Satur-
day noon from the house, Rev. J. F.
Williams of Newport officiating.

BREAK UP GIRL TRAP
AMERICAN VIGILANCE ASsOCfA-
 TION WILL BE NATIONAL.
object of Society K to Prevent White Slave Trafiic-N0ted Men are Chosen t0 Direct
 Campaign.

Chicago, Ort. 3.-(Speciai. .)-The announcement soon will be made that the American Vigilance Association, a national organization with headquar- ters in this city. will take up a deter mined war of nxtermination on the white slave traffic.
 This organization will succeed to the work done by the Committee on Leg fslation which was chosen by the wo- mans World several months ago and which has been successful first in fram- ing a number of water-tight statutes as models of securing legislation in Illinois, and several other States, in- cluding Minnesota. North and South Dakota, Pennsylvania and Iowa.
 Massachusetts Is next In line for new legislative act as the result of the exposure of conditions in Boston and the complaint of the Watch and Ward Society that the present Massachusetts law is inadequate to convict the guilty.
 An agreement has been reached among those most actively interested and representing powerful business and other organizations regarding a gen. eral plan of campaign. Among those who have consented to serve as dircc- tors are: Judge Julian W. Mack Cliff ford c. Roe. Judge Edward F. Dunne, George H. Currier, Assistant United States District Attorney Harry A. Par
 
 visory committee will include Rev. Dr. J. c. Shearer of Toronto, secretary of the Moral and Reform Council of Canada; Dr. Edward A Janney of Bal timore president of the National Vigi- lance Committee.
 The wish is to have every State in the Union represented on the advisory board and to keep fin close touch with efforts made in every State both to secure legislation and to enforce the statutes.
 According to one announcement one difficulty encountered has been in the Eastern Staes' complacency regarding existing statutes. and in the Western States an impression that this traffic Is one of urban communities only, where as recruiting for 1t is done in all the rural States. and a large proportion of the girl victims who are sold into slavery to vice have come from the smaller cities and the towns and the farms of rural States.
 George F. Roberts. President of the Commercial National Bank. has been chosen for the treasurer of the Amer ican Vigilance Association. and to him the funds secured by the friends of this movement should be sent

dustry say this gives assurance of ul- timate success, although many years will probably be required for the completion of the work. Much de- bends they assert. upon the amounts appropriated for the work by the States, as we'll as by the Federal Gov ernment. but more upon the assist ance and cooperation of the cattle own CTS themselves, for without a fair de- of the tick can never be accomplished.
 states Must Co-Operate.
 Much of the bureaus work for the control and eradication of contagious diseases of live stock has been done in with State officers. In a few States the authorities are provid- ed with both laws and funds for such work, but in a large majority of the States this is not the case. The bu- reau has recently collected the laws of the various States bearing on this subject and it Is found that in most of the States the laws are inadequate for the protection of live stock against contagious diseases and that in most cases the appropriations are entirely insufficient for effective work. The of- fcials here report that while many of the States have co-operated very ef- fectively with the Federal Government in the eradication of sheep scabies. cattle mange. and$ the Southern cattle tick. the lack of ability on the part of other States to do their share in such work has resulted in delaying its progress. They insist that 1t Is very important for the success of such work. especially with regard to the cattle tick and tuberculosis, that the States concerned should enact laws giving adequate powers to their of- ficers and should make sufficient ap- populations for the work that Is to be dons.
 A statement prepared by the Bureau of Animal Industry shows that within a period of three years-from July l. 1906, to June 30. 1909, an area com- prising 71,336 square miles was re- leased from quarantine as result Of eradication of cattle ticks as follows:
 Kentucky, S41; Tennessee. S,S92; Vir- ginia. 8.612: North Carolina, 10.19s; Ar kansas. 3,754; Oklahoma, 212.672; Tex as. 660. and California 35.706 square miles.

MEETING FOX MEN
FIRST OF Y. M. c. A. SEASON HELD
 SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
Dr. Charles A. Stakeiy Makes . Live Wire Address Before Big Audi
 ence In the Orpheum

pr. Charles A. Stakely, pastor of the First Baptist Church, defined the ques- tion. What Is It to Preach the Cos pel? yesterday afternoon at the mems meeting at the Crpheum Theatre. lie said to preach the Gospel ministers ought to endeavor to preach like Paul or Jesus and to bring the whole of heaven to bear on the whole of the earth.
 The meeting was held under the au- spices of the local Y. M. c. A.. and was the resumption of the mems Sunday afternoon meetings which were dis continued during the summer months. The objects of these meetings are to come in touch with the men of Mont gomery who do not attend church. A large number of men were present.
 Dr. Stakely complimented the Young Men5s Christian Association of the country and called them Christian agencies for good. He said that they had accomplished a work which could not be done in any other way. and that the local association had a friend in every pastor in Montgomery.
 Among other things lie said: "The Alabama ministers are. for the most part. conservative men. VeSy few of them are fanatical or excited over any Issue. They use their own judg- ment in every situation. and as far as I know. they have never been on the wrong side of any question. They have 1t in themselves to preach, they strike the prospective. Look at men In all the activities of life at what they have accomplished and then look at what the ministers have accom- plished and you will find that they have done as we'll as the rest"
 The Y. NJ. c. A. will continue these meetings every Sunday afternoon. It was announced yesterday at the meet ing that Dr. Stakely had been secured to give series of talks at these Sum day meetings.

CARRY AID TO PEONs.
Work of Relief for Flood Victims Just
 Beginning.

Washington, Oct. 3.-The campaign against the suffering of the Mexican flood victims is just beginning. The relief work Is being continued under the direction of American consuls, ac- cording to a dispatch received at the State Department today from Consul General Hanna at Monterey. Frost has made It's appearance in some of the stricken districts and has reduc- ed the corn crops fifty per cent. says the telegram. and many of the rural districts will need outside assistance until new crops can be raised.
 Mir Hanna suggests that Iowa and the corn growing states each send a carload of corn in bags; the other states could send beans; the Southern rice growing states bags of that sta pie and the Eastern states might fur nish blankets and clothing for the winter The staples should be in bags In order that they may be distributed by burro and mule trains. Arrange ments with the railway and express companies he says, can be made tor free transportation.

Business Men and Smoke. n oro RacorH Horatd-


 The presence of two hundred busi- ness men at luncheon arranged by the ways and means committee of the Chicago Association of Commerce to consider the smoke suppression prob lem is significant of the ever broaden ing interests in a clean city.
 Smoke suppression should really be business mans movement. And this for two good reasons.
 Smoke damages merchants goods and destroys their value.
 Smoke Is a symbol of waste of man. ufacturerers' fuel.
 These two economic reasons ought by themselves to be sufficient to end the smoke nuisance.
 BBeyond them is another reason, the idea of the city beautiful which ought to give added energy to efforts to sup press smoke. Indeed. this reason has likewise its economic aspects. As Paris has so clearly shown, the beauti- hcation of a city means increase in its retail trade. Cleanliness attracts and dirt drives away out of town custo- mers.

Dewey, who has an- nounced himself as the '"Theocratic" candidate for Governor. talked con- tinuously upon the Established Re- ligion of the State'
 Judge Dewey four years ago ran for Mayor of Boston and caused comment by appearing upon the platform attir- ed in evening dress; the past year he sued the Good Government Associa- tion for $76.OOo.0oo for alleged slam der regarding his intentions during the campaign but lost the verdict.
 At 6 o'clock this morning Judge Dewey took his stand upon the slope at the west of the Soldiers Monu- ment. The audience consisted of his brother Nand one newspaper man. Shortly after, policeman arrived. The audience was small up to S:45 when the speaker took a 25 minutes recess and hastily lunched.
 At s:10 o'clock Judge Dewey again took up his argument with a larger audience and continued without a break until 6 p. m.
