SPEAKS FOR WOMEN.
Equality" Would Like Gymnasium to
Be Used by Both Sexes.

Editor Times; A new gymnasium
seems most commendable project, just
what the city needs, but as we under
stand it, quite an expense TO the city
and for men and boys only, and it seems
that the tendency of the city is inclined
to be one-sided. Much is already being
done for the boys and young men, 1.-THE
evening drawing school for instance. and
last winter the evening school run by
the Woman's club. What is the city
doing for the benefit of the girls and
young women Why can't building be
erected for the accommodation of both
sexes and fitted up for class each aft
ernoon or evening in cooking, sewing
and directed by a competent instructors
The teaching of domestic science IS ne
cessity.
We realize there may be greater
call on the part Of the male population,
but hope we will not lose sight Of the
many girls and young ladies in our midst
who viii be the housekeepers Of later
years, and If that calling be acceptably
filled, is quite rs necessary as what Is
needed for business life.
Equality.

A so-called good reputation did not
save reckless automobile driver from
going to prison for three years for run
ming down and killing human being.
Trying to match a good reputation
against human life is ludicrous, when
considered apart from the case itself,
and even when considered in connection
with the case carries little conviction.
Hence, the somewhat general approval
of a sentence imposed in court at Taun-

to mean death by hanging. In spite of

We shouldn't have accused President
Benton of "springing such a chestnut"
as that If the information hadn't come
from such a reliable source as the New

we are inclined to believe The Monitor
has resuscitated the musty joke which
was perpetrated on its own brethren
some fifty years agone, or something
like that.

BARRE STORE REMoDELED.
Vaughan Has Much Larger Quarters BY
Reason Of Addition to Block.

For the second time in its nine years
OF existence, one Of the best known
mercantile concerns in Barre, the
Vaughan store, has been compelled to
enlarge its quarters on account of its
rapid strides In business. With an adj
dltional store length Of fifty feet on
both the first and second floors, sub
stantially equipped with up-to-date fix
lures and furnishings. the proprietor's
formal opening took place to-day and
will continue during the next seven days
in the way of sale in every one Of
the stores numerous departments. To
the public in general, the opening win
afford an excellent opportunity for in
spection and cordial invitation is ex-
tended to everyone who may care to
attend. E&
The first floor extension has been fit
ted up for the dress goods, silk and
linen departments. Six windows, throw
ing light from the rear as well as the
side, make the addition an admirable
place for the display Of goods. On the
second floor, the floor space acquired
through the rear addition to the block
will be devoted TO the drapery depart
ment. Ample lighting facilities ARE made
possible BY six sizeable windows. The
changes have necessitated the removal
Of the elevated desk and the cash car
rier system. The desk is now located
on the north side Of the store access
to which is gained by roomy stairs also
leading to the departments on the Sec
ond floor. Throughout the store, a
splendid system Of gas lights has been
introduced, the place presenting bril-
liant appearance by night in consequence.
The opening to-day really marks some
thing Of an epoch in the history of the
Vaughan store The firm has already
established an enviable record for in
tegrity and continuance of the pro-
prietor's sound business policy may be
expected to follow. During the days of
the opening, courteous corps of assist
ants will be in readiness to guide the Wis
itors around the remodeled store.

Announcement by Mr. Munsey that
he is ready to sell the Boston Journal, as
well as the Philadelphia Evening Times,
is calculated to disturb the minds OF
many "old-line" Republican readers of
the former throughout New England
After being accustomed to the form and
makeup of the long established Journal,
they were sorely pressed when Munsey
took hold of the paper and brought it
out in new clothing, so to speak. Since
then those who still maintained their
loyalty to the old publication have bare
ly had time to become accustomed to
the Munsey ideas when the threatened
transfer of the ownership brings them
face to face with the problem of becom-
ing acquainted all over again. For
great many people, changing newspapers
is like discarding old friends and taking
on the new. However, there SENS to be
chance for challl-line Republican
newspaper in Boston to make 90 OF
it" in getting new friends, since the
greater part of the territory of New
England, which it might cover, is of the
Republican political stripe. But that de-
ponds quite a bit on the quality of the
paper; people are not taking newspapers
because of their political affiliations alone
nowadays.

The eleventh hour confession Of the
young wife-slayer in the sensational
case at Richmond, Va, removes ire
mendous load of responsibility from the
shoulders of Gov. Mann of that state,
who had refused TO grant reprieve to
the condemned man, even though har-
assed. In his case, as well as that OF
the jury which found Beattie guilty,
the justification OF the verdict was of
very great Importance more than idle
curiosity to know if the law had got
the right party.

VALUE OF A GOOD MEMORY
Among Human Beings Children Have
the Most Remarkable, often
Learning Many Languages.

The trouble with old men usually
is that their memories become over
loaded with actual and psychic facts.
among which they are unable to dis
tinguish those that have value
for the present and those that have
become obsolete. Generally speaking
an old man knows great deal more
than a young man. but. says the
Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette. It does
not necessarily follow that he is
wiser While. therefore. a strong
memory is a great convenience. 1t is
not necessarily an advantage.

for words was so retentive that he
never forgot one after hearing It
once. and which enabled him to ac-
ouire more than hundred languages,
