With large crowd in attend
ance. exhibits of the highest quail
ity. evidencing the ability OF the
children TO surpass the ''Old
Folks" in many ways. the Nath-
ews School Fair on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of last week
may rightly be said 10 have been
a grand SUCCESS. Great interest
was manifested by the large
crowds both in the exhibits and
athlete and literary contests.
1t would be nard to say which
features were greatest, but prob
ably the spelling match and par
ade on Saturday were the most
interesting. 1t was a stirring sight
to see the three hundred children
from the various <schools-march-
ing in line with beautiful banners
waving. I IA e Winter Harbor
School banner deserves mention
tor IFS beauty. and those of the
three high schools were not far
behind,
Interesting speeches were de-
livered on educational topics on
Thursday and Friday by Mr.. J..

good and bad roads should be
availed of here. The roads in the
Piankitank District that he has
worked, and at minimum cost
as shown in his letter, are like
hard wood floors by comparison
with the roads in the other two
districts. No wonder he asks the
County fathers what they have
done with the money. The road
fund taken from the pockets of
the people in the WestVille and
Chesapeake Districts is nearly
$500 more in each than in the
Piankitank, and yet its roads are
infinitely better. Whose neglect

SEVENTEEN DIE IN RAIL CRASH
Forty Are Injured When Mail Train
Running at Rate of Sixty Miles an
Hour Bumps Into Passenger.

Chicago, Ill.-Fifteen persons met
almost instant death, two died
while being rushed to hospitals, and
40 persons were injured when the
Omaha mail train on the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy railroad, going at a
speed close to 60 miles an hour,
crashed into the rear end of the Over
land Limited passenger train No. at
Western Springs, Ill.
Passenger train No. 2, from Denver,
due in Chicago at a. m., stopped at
Western Springs because of "hot
box" on one of the rear Pullman
coaches. At Western Springs, which
is about Is miles west of Chicago,
train No. and the mail train No. 8,
run about nine minutes apart. Be
cause of fhe heavy fog it is believed
by some that the engineer on train
No. failed to see the signal at Hins
dale, mile and half west of the
point where the collision occurred
Without warning to passengers,
save the popping of three torpedoes
placed several hundred feet in the
rear of the passenger train by the
fiagman, the heavy mail train crashed
into the rear of the passenger.

HETTY GREEN IS BAPTIZED
Wealthy Woman, Who Is in Her Sew
enty-seventh Year, Prepares
for Confirmation.

New York City-Mrs. Hetty Green,
who is in her seventy-eighth
year, was baptized in the Episcopal
faith in order to prepare for confirma-
ton as member of the church. The
ceremony was performed in Jersey
City by Rev. Augustine Elmendorf,
rector of Holy Cross Episcopal
church, in the presence of Col. Ed
ward Howland Robinson Green, on
whose shoulders have fallen much of
his mothers great business RESPONSE
bilities.
Father Elmendorf, as the clergy
man is called by his parishioners, is
distantly related to Mrs. Green and
for five or six years he has been en-
deavoring to induce her to think less
of things earthly.
Mrs. Green will now prepare herself
for confirmation, ceremony that will
be conducted by Bishop Edwin S.
Lines of the Newark diocese.
