Mande1 said So a week for girls
living at home, and 50 week for
those living alone, would be good
wages for minimum law.
why don't you raise the pay
of your younger girls p asked
eut.-Gov. O'Hara.
Little girls aren't worth more
than we pay them said Mandel.
Mandel said he never had
heard the common. rumor that
many foorwalkers were white
slave agents; nor, the equally
common rumor that any depart
ment store girl who kicked about
their wages were asked if they
hadn't some gentleman friend"
who could help them.
Like Rosenwald and Simpson,
'Mandel tried to place the blame
for the downfall of working girls
on their homes, on the parents. =.
From some things, it almost
seemed as if the millionaires
might have held a council of war
before they appeared before the
commission.
Mandel was asked if he ever
had contributed to any reform
agency with the. understanding
that they would not connect low
wages with vice. He said he had
made such contributions, but
never with such an understand
ing.
"And you really think girl

GOVERNOR VETOES
APPROPRIATION BILL.
Sends Message To Senate Explaining
His Refusal To Sign Brattleboro
Retreat Measure.

Gov. Fletcher sent another veto tc
the Senate yesterday afternoon, having
refused to approve the bill making ai
appropriation to the Brattleboro Re
treat. The veto message reads as fol.
lows:
To the Honorable Senate:
| herewith return without my approv-
al Senate bill 1872, "An act to appro-
pirate certain sum in aid of the Brat
tleboro Retreat"
There are two questions of state pol
icy involved in this bill First, Shall
the state subsidize by donation cor
porations which are not controlled by It
and over which it has no jurisdiction
whatever In this connection, it may
be said, that in furtherance of that pol
icy, the legislature of 1910 appropriated
fifty thousand dollars for the Austine
institute in Brattleboro. an institution
over which it has no control whatever.
"And this present session of the leg
islature has appropriated twenty-five
dollars in addition to that sum.
It would seem to me that the state has
gone far enough in this direction, both
for that and other institutions of a
kindred nature.

hard to find in New England. The dis

to exhibit sea food at an even tempera-
ture, while adjustable shelves have been
for canned goods in the fish
line. One corner of the market room
has been finished into a pickle depart

ADRIANOPLE SIEGE
is CONTINUED
Neither Side Seems To Have Scored al
Appreciable Advantage-Report
of Losses Called Unfounded.

London, Feb. THE bombardment OF
Adranople continues without appreciable
advantage being scored by either side.
The story telegraphed to Constantinople
yesterday of severe losses inflicted by the
Turkish fleet on the Bulgarian army,
which was advancing through the neck
OF the peninsula on Gallipoli, was to-
day declared unfounded by the Bulgarian
war Office, Sofia. The Bulgarian staff
asserts the Ottoman force, which at
tempted to advance from the Tchatalia
lines in the direction of lszedin, We're
quickly repulsed by Bulgarian troops and
compelled to retreat after suffering heavy
losses.
Military reports here doubt whether
the allies, even if they secure a foothold
on the shores of the sea of Alarmora,
possess sufficient strength in siege guns
to overcome the powerful defense OF
the Dardaneles Straits. In Germany,
it is asserted that in event of the opera
tions of the allies actually threatening
the forts of the Dardanelles, which servc
as the first bulwark, Constantinople and
the great European powers may possibly
abandon their position and become mere
spectators.

Mail declares that Mahmoud Scvhefket
Pasha, the grand vizier, has given as
surances that only unimportant skirm-
ishes have occurred at Gallipoli.
Regarding the reported renewal of the
peace negotiations, the gand vizier
would say that the powers were continu-
ing their efforts in favor of peace, but
that the situation was not clear.
The grand vizier in his recent visit to
the front is understood to have met Cen
eral Sadoff, but nothing came of the in
terview.
The main body Of the Turkish troops

Tense at Gallipoli, according to dis

MERE MECHANICAL WORK.
Doesn't Amount to Anything Now, Said
DR.. Wentworth f. Stewart.

! Notwithstanding a somewhat unfae-
orable evening, a goodly company OF
people gathered at the FEEDING church
last night to hear the singing and the
speaker Hartley Stewart shows him
self a fine leader OF song and possessed
] OF rich baritone voice, full of synpa-
thy, that appeals to an audience.
| DIR. Wentworth H. Stewart gave an
| Interpretation Of the interview OF Jesus
with the woman OF Samaria at the we'll
He said that artists and Others had oft
en- tried to overdraw the Christ, trying
to make Him unnatural. DIR. Stewart
spoke OF the perfect naturalness OF
Jesus, the confiding friend not only OF
the woman at the well but of all people
who will put their trust in Him. The
speaker said the time is past when mere
mechanical church work amounts to
anything; there is nothing so important
as trying to make real Christian work
natural We should not try to copy
anyone, but in our own natural way to
live and work. We love the children just
because they are SO natural so in our
life work it is not the stilted and the
overdrawn that is needed. In Christion
work how much may be learned from
the perfect naturalness of Jesus as He
talks with the woman at the well.
People will confide in those who are
greatly interested in them. The human
world never knows the need of Jesus
until Jesus comes and makes people
see the need. just as He came to the
woman az the well. She was living life
only at the lower level until Jesus came
and gave her q new and better vision. |
So to-day there are many people living |
on the lower levels, just going. as it |
were, to the old wells of water that |
never really satisfy the thirsty soul. 1t |
is the same old show, the same CONNER
cial spirit, the same spirit of unrest un-
til Jesus really comes to them and shows /
them clearer and better vision of the |
life worth while.
Jesus appealed to the innermost
depths of the soul of the woman at the
we'll Jesus, with his depths of love, is
bending over us, appealing to us TO live
the true. Christlike life As when, in
the great city fire, after the mass Of
ruins had been cleared away and the safe
was found. when the proper key nm
locked it. the jewels came to light again
by the fire. SO amid the sin
and temptation of the world in which we
live, if the real love of Christ will but
sound the depths of the soul. we NAV be
as We find the love of Jesus
