of building clean and tidy; suitable desks
for children of all ages properly placed;
a good collection of juvenile books, maps
and dictionaries; sanitary water sup
ply; the school well organized with reg
ular attendance and at least seven months
schooling every year; the teacher must
have not less than high school educa-
ton, receive a salary of at least $500 per
annum, and be ranked by the county sup
erintendent as a good or superior teacher.
The more ambitious districts, aspiring
to the "superior' diplomas, will have to
meet the following additional require
ments: A play ground of at least one
half an acre, level, covered with good
grass, and provided with trees and
shrubs sanitary drinking appliances;
separate cloak rooms for boys and girls;
room lighted from one side or from one
side and rear; adjustable windows fitted
with good shades heat provided by base
ment or room furnace, with proper ar
rangements for removal of bad air and
admission of pure air; at least eighty lib
rary books, ten suitable for each grade;
two good pictures on the wall; provision
for instruction in agriculture, manual
training, and domestic arts; the teacher
to be a high school graduate with normal
school training and to receive at least
$3.50 per annum; the work outlined in
the State course of study to be well done.
! The Illinois authorities do not expect
to see this movement for betterment of
the onero schools interfere in any way
with the natural development of consoli
dated schools; but believing, as they do,
1 that because of the scattered farming
population of Illinois .ne-room schools
will be necessary for many years, they
seek to make this type so efficient for the
community that a desire will be created
among the citizens in rural communities
for greater educational advantages for
their children.

SENDING OUT ANTI-TOXIN.
State Health Department Is Coop
Grating to Prevent Outbreak of
Diphtheria.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 1.-While
there is no outbreak in the State at
any point of dreaded diphtheria, the
State Health Commissioner is engaged
in sending out large quantities OF
anti-toxin to the section in which the
disease has so far appeared. Discuss
ing the situation, DR.. Williams said
that there was no occasion Tor any
alarm, that this is the season of the
year when the maximum cases are
reported, and that the health officers
in all sections of the state were order
ing the anti-toxin in order that they
may be prepared to cope with any pos
sible cases that may develop and also
be ready to administer the drug in
order to prevent the spread of the
plague.
DR.. Williams, discussing the bene-
fits of the anti-toXin, said that be-
fore the use of it began, the death rate
was bit more than SIS per cent. That
was prior to 1894. Four years later
the death rate from diphtheria had
dropped to 10 per cent. and in 1908
it was 7 per cent This last year sci
ence scored another triumph, the re-
ports showing that only 3 1-2 per cent.
of the cases resulted fatally.
Dr. Williams is convinced that if
physicians will insist on treatment
after cases have been dismissed, and
the inspection of germ culture is
made, that the dangers from the
srread of the disease will be greatly
lessened. Patients who are recuperat-
ing should not, in his opinion, be re-
leased from quarantine till the in
spcction for germs are negatived by
examination.

ed with brutal mistreatment OF his
wife, causing her death when her
hahe was less than a week old, JOS
eph Frazier, of Island Ford, Rock
inrham county, was given hearing
before Justice Wood, Of McGaheyS-
vile, and held for the grand jury d

s2y, she told of her husbands brutal
it,, but enjoincd secrecy until after

SYMPATHY FOR ALIENS.
Movement For Life Imprisonment For
Condemned Men.

Richmond, Va, Nov Firmly i'm
bued with the belief that the members
Of the somewhat picturesque Allen
Glen wh, shot up the Circuit Court
at Hillsville, are the creatures of Pc
culiar environment rather tIltn inner
emily bad men of the worst criminal
type, a number of citizens here and
elsewhere have started movement
designed to save old Floyd Allen and
his stalwart son, Claude, from the
death-dealing grasp Of the electric
chair.
1t is not maintained for second
that either man should be leniently
dealtf with, or that either deserves to
escape condign punishment; but it Is
insisted that little, if any good, can
be done by electrocuting them. The
most that their sympathizers ask IS
that the sentences of the two prison
ers to be committed to life imprison-
ment.
Unless the Supreme Court inter-
venes-it has not yet received the APP
peal of the two Allens-or the eXecu-
tives interferes with the verdict oil. low
er court-both father and son will go
to the chair November 2;d.
Ever since the conviction OF CLAUDE
Allen, if not before that time, sentl-
ment against the Carol county gun
men has been undergoing change,
and today there are thousands OF
people in Virginia who express them
selves as opposed to capital punish
ment in the case Of the men now in
the penitentiary death cell.
The sentiment was forcefully, II
somewhat questionably, expressed a
few days ago when petitions contain
ing several hundred signatures were
sent to Judge Keith, president of the
Supreme Court.
In this series of communications the
court was asked to allow both Floyd
and Claude new trial.

ALLEGED POLLUTION OF RIVER
Virginia, Maryland Government CO.
operate TO Improve Conditions.

g 1t has become known in WASHINGTON
that Officials of the Department Of
Agriculture feel very happy over the
appointment of joint committee OF
experts which is to represent the
states of Maryland and Virginia and
the government Of the United States
in the ADMINISTRATION Of the pollution
of the Potomac River and the alleged
contamination Of oysters taken from
the beds near its confluence with the
Chesapeake Bay.
These officials believe that the re-
suit Of the compromise reached be-
tween these states and the govern
mont for appointment Of joint eX-
perts will turn out to have been Oh
fine tactical advantage, inasmuch as
# is expected that there viii be agree
ment between the experts on the re-
port to be made, and that this VII!
enable the States and the government
to work hand in hand toward the al
deviation of such conditions affecting
the river and its oyster beds as may
be found in the REORGANIZATION OF the
water. Should the denomination
bear out the claims made by the orig
inal government report on the polIu-
ton of Potomac water and show that
the oyster beds are in danger, then
state and federal action, involving a
certain amount Of cooperation Will
be necessary, to protect the Potomac
river from pollution. Most Of the poi
luton is known to be due to the empty
ing OF the sewerage of the city OF
Washington into the river and tne
government experts have been claim
;rr that polluted water has been
fogrd 30 miles down the river from Its
supposed origin at Washington.

With appropriate decorations falling In grateful festoons from the building at Fairfield avenue and Main streets, the tnIrtieth anniversary of the found ing of the well known furniture house of George E. Nothnag1e 6 Son is be- Ing celebrated.
 Established in November, 1882, at the same location by George E. Moth nsgIe the furniture business then uc- cupfed only a small part of the exten- sIye area now taken for the display of up-to-date and largely augmented lines. has rapidly progressed The founder of the concern after rapidly reaching out to other buildings in the vicinity, took his son into partner ship, until three generations have now been represented.
 Three years ago it was necessary to erect an additional building in Strat : ford avenue for factory and storage purposes. which gave room for the addition of other depar tments, includ- ing draperies, stoves. carpets, rugs and pictures
 During the month of November the anniversary will be celebrated by 9 mammoth sale in which the profits will be shared with all customers.

 TO HEAR BISHOP
Paraders Will be so Numerous That Two Churches Will
 be Filled
Grand Marshal and Aides Revise Plans For Demonstration
 Next Sunday

Rt. Rev. John J. Milan. Bishop of the Diocese of Hartford, who has been instrume ental in arousing widespread interest throughout the State in the organization and strengthening of the
 Holy Nanie societies. will preach at both St. Augustine's and St. Mary's church next Sunday in connection with the demonstration of the. combined Holy Name societies of this city and vicinity
 This advancement has been made owing to the Likelihood that it will be impossible to crowd all the Holy Name paraderS into one church. At a con- Mccarthy and his aides last evening the reports of growing merbership in the societies led to the change in plans so that when the parade has passed center of the city, one section will proceed to East Bridgeport. the other marching to St. Augustine's church. Just which societies will go across the river has not yet been decided.
 The first division of the parade will form in Golden EIill street, east of the right resting on Main street; the third in Cannon street, right resting on Main street. The Wheeler & Will son. Coast Artillery Corps and Nor respective divisions.
 The formation of the parade will be about as follows:
 Honorary Grand Marshal Rev Thomas P Mu1cahy, Grand Marshal John J. Mccarthy and aides.
 First division-Wheeler & Wilson band, Holy Name societies of St. Mary,s, St. James, Stratford, St. Jo- seph's, Shelton, and St. Charles churches
 Second division ' Coast Artillery band, Holy Name societies of Sacred Heart church, Church of the AssuTnp- ton, westport, St Thonnas'. Fairfield. St Anthony's and St. Peters churches.
 Third division-Norwalk band, St. Patrick's, St. Johns, Sts. Cyril and Methodius, St. Nichael's. and St. Au- gustines churches.
 The line of march will be through Main street to State street. past the reviewing stand at City Hall where Bishop Milan. Mayor Wilson and otlh- CTS will inspect the parade, thence to Park avenue, to Washington avenue to St. A1gustine's. The East Bridge port section will continue through Congress street, to Clarence street, to East Main street, to Steuben street (not Stillman street as erroneously an nounced), to Pembroke street, to St Mary's church.

Manuel Pardinas Y. Zarrate. The picture bears the inscription:

 It was admitted that the photo graph might be that of merely a sweetheart of the assassin and that ii found she would perhaps be unable to throw light on any possible wide spread conspiracy back of the crime On the other hand, the police said she might prove to be a member of the same anarchist group as Zarrate and able, if she could be forced to speak, to. furnish valuable informa- ton.
 In the assassin's pocket was also found a memorandun book contain ing many mysterious hierogIyphics which the authorities were trying to- day, to decfpher, thinking they might include list of Zarrate's accompIices

MOTHER KILLS HER FOSTER DAUGHTER
 ON SEEING MEDIUM

Chicago, Nov. 1s-A close watch was kept over Mrs. Ella Crawford, l, today, in the German Deaconess Hos pitai where she was confined after killing her little adopted daughter, Elinor May Crawford, it was charged. by holding her. under the water in a bathtub. During apparently lucid moments, today, the woman told the story of her act to Inspector Costello, of the police. .szssss.,
 Last summer, according to her story. Mrs. Crawford went to a medium to consult him about her own and her faster daughters future. He gave her an ''ouija board" a heart shaped plane with pencil. She placed her hand upon the heart, she said, and she could write m messages from the dead. 'The board told me it, would be better for me to die and for Elinor to die with me than for both of us to suffer from illness for many years" said Mrs. Crawford.
 Joseph Crawford, husband of the woman. died three years ago, leaving her the apartment building in which she lived and $e.0ee life insurance. They adopted the little girl when she was an infant.
