Granite rather than bronze seems the
proper medium to convey to future gem
erations a notion of Edward Everett
Hale.-Boston Transcript
Right you are. And if the people of
Boston wish to see what splendid statu.
airy possibilities lie in granite, let them
come to Barre and see the famous Burns
statue. From base to crowned head of
the heroic figure, it is fine piece OF
work, as good to-day as when erected
many years ago. While bronze statues
change color under the various influences,
this Barre granite memorial remains as
clear and pure as when erected.

Fauber, of this place, who was once
an undertaken IN st. Louis, this af-
ternoon that that he was well ac-
uuHinted with Rev. E. V. r. Richeson,
now accused OF the murder Of Miss
Avis Linneii. in Boston, when Richie
son was motorman in st. Louis. He
says he knew when he was running
on q street car in Delm8r street, and
that Richeson frequently came into
his place of business for a friendly
chat.
Mr.. Fauber recalls that Richeson
did much in St. Louis during the
street car strike there about eight
years ago toward preserving order.
He says one night during the strike,
about 500 strikers congregated around
THE oar barns for the Delnar street
lines. and after berating the strike
breakers were threatenin gto burn the
car sheds. Richeson, who was one
OF the strikers. rolled an empty sugar
barrel from nearby grocer anc
mounting it made a speech to the
strikers, which prevented further vio-
lence then.
The strikers were SO pleased viii
Richeson's talk they carried him from
the improvised rostrum and in a short
time he was elevated to one OF the
principal places In the union, and fol-
some time spent his time in making
talks to the men, in which he advised
them against violence and, he be
Iieves, now that that young man die
moro than any other effort to pre-.
vent violence on the part Of thu
strikers.

NEW NOSE TAKEN
FROM MANS ARM

CHARLOTTESVILLE. VA. Oct. %.
A rather remarkable operation was
performed at the University Hospital
by DR.. Watts this week. A negro, who
had lost an inch off the end Of his
nose by the bite OF q horse, had the
member replaced by flesh and skin
taken from his arm. A Flap" Of skin
large enough to cover the nose was cut
from the mans arm. 1t was only cut
on three sides and left attached. The
piece was then sewed to the nose, and
the arm bound across the face. 1t was
left in this position for sixteen days.
during which time the flap" received
its nourishment from the arm until
1t was grown on to the nose sufficient
~ to be fed by that member. Then
the arm was cut away. and the piece
was trimmed to f1t the shape Of the
mans nose. The operation was per-
formed without the use OF an anaes-
thetic, and was watched by the ne
gro. OF course, drugs to deaden the
pain were applied about the parts at
fected. A number OF medical students
were allowed to watch the operation.
