NO ROOM FOR FRESHMEN
So They Couldn't Hear Professor Wood
bury of Norwich University.

Three upper classes of Spaulding high
school students listened this forenoon
to an interesting talk on High Ideals
of Men and Women" by Professor Carl
Vose Woodbury., who is at the head of
the chemistry department at Norwich
university, NorthfieId. Professor Wood
bury spoke for nearly 40 minutes and
developed his theme along the lines of
emulating only the men and women
whose lives are ideals worth copying
The talk was one of series which is
to be given before the student BODY at
Spaulding during the school year. Stu
dents and faculty gave the speaker their
closest attention. Owing to the fact
that the chapel is not large enough to
accommodate the entire enrolment at
the high school, the freshmen, numbering
some 100 students, were unable to hear
the talk.

BURLINGTON WOMAN
WANTS EAR TRUMPET
Applies to Governor Ralston of Indiana
for Money from Balance Left After
Contribution to Flood
Sufferers.

indianapolis, Dec. l7.-Though Gov
ernor Samuel NJ. Ralston has not decided
what disposition to make of the $4,000
left from the fund contributed for the
aid of food sufferers last spring, nearly
hundred persons in widely separated
parts of the country have offered to re-
lieye him of his troubles by accepting
part of the money.
A man in Gettysburg, Pa, offers to
sell the governor a valuable collection
of animals cheap. A Chicago man asks
the governor to purchase him an arti-
fetal hand. A woman in Burlington,
VT, wants an ear trumpet. A Waverly,
Ia, man, afflicted with rheumatism,
would like the governor to start him in
business. Many other letters ask money

SOME CHRISTMAS DoN'TS.
Celebrations With Use of
Trees and Decorations.

With preparations for Yuletide fes-
tivities going on apace with the ap-
proach of Christmas, little sober con-
sideration of the dangers which lurke on
four sides of Che Christmas tree may be
worth while. Each succeeding Christ
mas has its record of fires originating in
the infammabe material which figures
so prominently in most celebrations of
the season. In schools, churches or halls,
or wherever children or grown folks
gather to celebrate, unusual precautions
should be taken by those in charge
Christmas tree committees and house,
holders who celebrate the occasion pri-
vately will do well to heed the sugges-
tions made by Chief c. b. Gladding of
the fire department,
In discussing the element of danger
which enters into festivities of this kind
yesterday, the chief noted several
precautions that may be followed with
out detracting one whit from the spirit
of the occasion. First of all it is urged
that electric lights be used wherever
possible in Illuminating trees, but never
put paper over the globes.
In congested city districts depart
mental rule makes it imperative that
every "Santa Claus" be compelled to
battle his garb, including long whiskers,
in a fireproof solution et phosphate of
ammonia before displaying himself to
the children. This dramatic measure
need not be adopted in Barre if the
"Santas" are duly careful
As for the Christmas tree it should
never be left unwatc+ I'd while the can
dies are burning. In large halls or ou-
ditoriums a bucket of water near the
tree may avert the loss of much prop
erty. Even better, fire extinguisher
should be located in a convenient place
near the center of the celebration Exits
should be kept free and clear at all
times during the exercises and distribu-
tion Of gifts. So far as possible a sheet
of tin or zine should be placed under
every Christmas tree 30 catch candle
drippings. Christmas trees should not be
trimmed with cotton batting or paper or
similar materials as the dry tree is sus-
ceptible enough of ignition. Great care
should be taken to keep curtains and
draperies at distance from the lighted
tree. Preferably the tree should be To-
Gated near the center of the room. Then,
in the event OF blaze, the tree could be
drenehed from all sides.
Special attention should be directed
to wire insulation in store display win
dows. Merchants are urged to avoid the
use of paper, cotton batting and other
light fabrics in their window scheme nm
less they have been dipped in some fire.
proof solution TO render them non-in
aammable. An effective ireproof solu-
tion is made up Of phosphate of ammo
mia in the proportion of four ounces to
be well ventilated as spontaneous com
bustion may be expected if this pre-
caution is overlooked. Again. the fire
extinguisher should be near at hand.

TRANSFERRED TO ALBANY.
FIR. A. c. Griffin to Leave st. Monicas
Church in Barre.

In line with the numerous changes of
pastorates in the state by Rt. Rev. j. j.
Rice. bishop of Burlington, Rev. A. c.
Griffin of st Monica's church received
instructions yesterday from Burlington
to assume the duties of pastor OF the
Catholic church at Albany. The parish
at Albany has been for the past few
wears under the guidance of Rev. b. /.
Cray, former eurate of st. Monica $
church. At an earlier date this week,
Rev. Cray was transferred to Brandon
to take charge of the Catholic church,
which was formerly under the supervi-
sion of Rev. Boyle.
Rev. Griffin will leave for Albany the
latter part of the week to assume his
duties on Sunday. As yet, no announce
meut has been made by Bishop Rice OF
his selection to fill the vacancy caused
in st, Moncas parish by the loss OF
Rev. Griffin. 1t is quite likely that a
curate will be appointed within the COM
ing week.
Rev. A. C. Griffin has been curate at
the local parish for several years, and
in that time has acqr'red a wide circle
of friends, not only in his parish, but
outside of it. During the absence OF
Rev. p. NJ. McKenna, the pastor, who
was absent from the parish for year
to regain his health, the duties OF the
pastor fell upon Rev. Griffin. In his new
pastorate, the people of Barre will ex-
tend their best wishes for success.
The work allotted to the parish of
Albany is of mission nature. Rev. Grif-
fin will have three towns to visit weekly,
Albany, Irasburg and Orleans. Upon as
suming his duties, he will locate at Or
leans temporarily.

Boston, Dec. l7.-Howard Elliott,
chairman of the New Haven railroad
testified to-day before the public service

before he assumed the direction of the
road.
When asked by Commissioner Ander-
son how much an editorial unsigned and
purporting to be Independently inspired
should cost the railroad, Mr.. Elliott re-
piled with emphasis that such articles
should not exist.
