SOME REASONS GIVEN
Advantages That May Be Gained
From Organization.

The following are some reasons
why parent-teacher associations are
worth while:
/. Home and school are the two
great agencies in the education of
the child; their aims are identical;
neither can work effectively in ignor-
ance OF the other.
2. Certain problems arise in the
school which teachers should not be
obliged to decide. Where Parent
Teacher Organizations exist the re-
sponsibility is readily placed upon
the parent.
3. The intelligent demand of
school patrons for improvements OF
any sore will often meet with atten-
ton from Boards of Education where
that of teachers is ignored.
4. A child's loyalty to the school
is almost invariably product of
home understanding.
5. A fixed and regular date of
meeting is saving Of time for both
parent and teacher. The latter can
present problem or explain a point
as quickly to fifty parents as to one.
The former can be sure OF getting
the desired information without in
trusion
s. A ready means of suggestion
from trained teachers to unframed
parents is provided.
Z. The reaction of the child to
his school work is seen fully only in
the home; the teacher who has no
point Of contact with that home loses
the best opportunity Of testing the
value of his work.

BOMB IN PAUL'S
CHURCH FAILED
TO EXPLODE
Mistake Of Suffraget Saved
Historic Edifice
LEVER TURNED WRONG WAY
Powder Enough in Internal Machine
to Have Wrecked interior of
Building.

London, Thursday, May S.-The
countless previous suffragette outra-
ges fade into insignificance beside the
attempt made yesterday to wreck the
chancel of st. Paul's Cathedral.
A sub-verger in the morning heard
a ticking sound, and, looking for its
origin found brown paper parcel on
the dais of the Bishops throne. On
examination it was found to contain
an internal machine, which was suf-
ficiently powerful to cause great dam
age to the chancel and to imperil HUI
man life.
The bomb was constructed of two
mustard-tins of different sizes. one
fitting into the other. The small in
ner tin held half a pound of black
powder, and in the space between the
two tins were a small alarm clock
without It's bell and a dry electric
battery. A heavy leather strap was
bound around the bomb, which was
wrapped in a copy of The Suffragette
date May g. Around all this was
secured by thick cord.
Two holes were made in the lid OF
the outer tin Through these wires
ran from the battery and were Joined
to a switch outside the brown paper.
The clock stopped at $40 a. m, after
its immersion by the verger in water.
The bomb had been set to explode at
midnight, but owning to fortunate
accidental blunder the switch had not
been turned on, as there was no con-
nection between the battery and the
clock

INDUCED TO QUIT

Twenty-Eight Leave and Return

FARES PAID BY UNION
Strikers Claim That Non-Unon
Men Were Not Acquainted With
Conditions In City.

Troy, May 8.-The Cohoes garnet
workers executed a successful coup
on the bat and shoddy manufacturers
yesterday, when strikebreakers were
induced to leave the mills of the Unit
ed WAISTS Manufacturing company
and the Star Wooden company. The
pickets have been talking to the nom
union men in the mills every time the
latter appeared at the windows of the
shops during the last few days and
nights. The non-union men were
made acquainted with the conditions
existing in the city and they agreed
to leave the plants.
At $50 o'clock yesterday morning
the non-union men left the plants of
the Star Wooden company and the
United Waste Manufacturing COM
pany and were taken to the head
quarters of the Central Federation of
Labor. There the strikebreakers were
given transportation back to their
homes. Some Of the npn-union men

There is only one strikebreaker left
in the mills Of the United Waste Man
ufacturing company, it is said, and
none of the non-union men remained
in the Star mill. Business Agent Jes-
Sc Walker of the Cohoes Textile
Workers expressed the belief yester-
day that all the non-union men would
be taken from the mills within the
next few days. The workers repre-
sentatives claim that. the strikebreak-
ers were brought to Cohoes without
being given an inkling Of the true con
dition Of affairs there. The men were
paid s11.10 week and furnished
board and lodging in the mills.

YOUNG WOMAN IS
FOUND DEAD IN
CISTERN
Not Sure Whether Suicide or
Accident
FORMER PHONE OPERATOR
Rutland Girl, Who Was Of Nervous
Disposition and Subject to
Dizziness.

Rutland, May 8-Returning to then
home at North Clarendon yesterday
afternoon Mrs. Dennis Shouldice and
her nephew, Dennis, found 2O-year-
old Nora ]. Shouldice, niece of the
woman and sister. of the boy, dead in
cistern behind the house. The
young woman had evidently been
dead for about an hour. Miss Shout
dice was of this city, where her faith
err, John Shouldice, and her brothers
live, and had been visiting with hes
aunt at the Clarendon farm.
Physicians and relatives spoken
with last night believe the drowning
to have been accidental.
Many of the circumstances would
point to this view of the case, while
others in the view of some of those
interested indicate suicide. Mrs.
Shouldice and the boy, who lives with
her, left home for this city at 1890
o'clock yesterday morning. Return
ing home about 2.30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon they found the girl In a
cement-bottomed cistern for storing
rainwater, and situated in the yard
in the rear of the house. Those on
the ground Immediately after the dis
covery say a pail and rope were hang
ing into the cistern, indieiting that
the girl had lost her balance while
drawing more water with which to
finish hopping she had been engaged
in.
Miss Shoudice had formerly been
employed in the local exchange as q
telephone operator. Excessive ner-
vousness had caused her to give up
her position, although she tried sever
al times to return to 1t. She had been
visiting with her aunt for several
weeks. Some advance the theory
that the young woman's mind was af-
fected and that in temporary fit OF
insanity she committed suicide. She
is said to have threatened to take her
own life. The cistern in which she
was drowned was reasonably deep.
but there was but three or four feet
of water in II, and no mark on the
girls body indicate that she had been
stunned.
On the other hand she was subject
to attacks OF dizziness, in one OF which
she might have tumbled into the wat
er and been unable to get out.

~ nee upon time there was a
young pretzel bender by the name
" Of Elmer, who read in a book that
all the world loved a lover.
"Well, them said Elmer as he
marked the place, II will sally forth
and let the mundane sphere throw a
few kisses in my direction"
So he went out upon the highways
in search Of an object for his affec-
tions. Before travelling many blocks
he espied a lissom lass tripping it
down the sidewalk. Thereupon he
lifted his brown derby gracefully, and
smiled his best smile.
Good morrow, fair maiden" he
said, II fain would hav> speech with
thee"
Before the young thing could frame
a come back, however. Elmer felt a
heavy hand grasp his funny bone.
Turning he looked into the pitiless
eyes of large, blue policeman, who
spake as follows:
1--WE got you-come along! We
have orders to clean the town Of you
mashers! I caught you square In the
act!"
The girl liked the way Elmer wore
his hair, and she had presence Of
mind enough to slip him a card with
her name and address on It. He spent
the seven days given him by a gener-
Gus Judge in making large rocks into
small ones. The minute they let him
loose he beat it out to see the girl,
whose name, by the way, was Isophine.
II love you," said Isophine frankly,
when he asked her about it, "come.
let US sit in the park, gaze at yon
moon, murmur sweet nothings into
each others ears"
