And now we see in the press gen.
orally the names of many ''promi-

being mentioned' for the position
of associate justice of the State su-

this judge at it's meeting next Janu-

This thing of circuit judges and
others getting cut and making a
regular political campaign for dig
niied position like that of associate
Justice of the State supreme court is
getting to be very disgusting. But
it seems that the judiciary is square
ly in politics in this State.

BIG PARCEL POST INCREASE
Business in February 40 Per Cent
More than in January.

Washington, March 17.-Parcel
post business last month was almost
40 per cent greater than in January,
as shown by reports to Postmaster
General Burleson made public yester-
day. In February 50,0O0,OO0 parcel
post packages were handled, an in
crease of 10000 900 over the previous
month. But as February contained
three days less than January, the
real gain in the business was almost
40 per cent.
AS in January, the three cities do
ing the largest parcel post business
in February were Chicago, New York
and Boston in the order named. Chi
cago sent and received 5,167 900 pack
ages; New York 100000, and Bos-
ton 1,326,000, most of them in each
case being of the sent class. Cleve-
land moved from sixth place in jan
uary to fourth in February, while
Philadelphia dropped from fourth to
siXeth. ST. Louis remained fifth.
Each of the six places named handl-
ed more than 100000 packages in
February. Other offices in order of
business follow; Jersey City, Brook
Ign, Detroit, Cincinnati, Baltimore,
Nashville, Kansas City, Mo, Buffalo,
San Francisco, Pittsburg and Mime
apolis. The reports to the postmas-
ter-general indicate that the mails
are moving with their usual dis
patch, that the business in farm pro-
ducts is growing and that merchants
seem to be preparing to extend their
business into new fields.

London, March 1.-THE armies in
the near East have become more ac-
tive With the improvement in the
weather conditions, although thus far
no news of pitched battle of any i'm
portance has come through. Accord
ing to official reports issued at Sofia,
both the Bulgarians and Turks at
Tchatalja have been moving and re-
connoitering parties have been in col
lision. In one case rather sharp
engagement resulted. Two Bulgar-
ian parties sent out in the direction
of Akalon took a redoubt to the east
of that village at the point of the bay
onet. The Turks, having been rein
forced, tried to recapture it. but in
the attack lost 300 dead and wound
ed, who were left on the field. The
same day the Turks advanced toward
Kadikeui, but were repulsed.
According to Constantinople re-
ports, conditions in the Gallipoli pen
insula are quiet An engagement in
the Tchatalja district is reported,
the Turkish warships bombarding
the Bulgarian positions at Silivri,
but with what result is not known.
Late advices say that the Montene
grin siege guns have started a fierce
bombardment of Scutari, a portion
of which is in flames. The Greeks

about distinct symptoms of delirium

Perhaps the most curious sort Of in

the only intCXicant is cold water drip

MOBTORE CLOTHES
FROM WOMEN
SPEAKERS
Suffrasette Meeting Resulted in
a Riot
RESCUED BY THE POLICE
London Where All Kind Of Free
Speech Has Been Allowed Balks
at Woman Suffrage.

London, March 16-The suffraget-
ties who again attempted to hold a
Sunday afternoon meeting in Hyde
Park were mobbed by crowd OF
10000 persons They were pelted
with clods of turf organes and other
missiles and when the police were
escorting them from the scene, the
rioters tore off the hats and coats of
the women and even struck some OF
them in the face.
For two hours, the park, where
demonstrations until recently were
held in peace, and oxford street,
nearby, were the scenes of widest
disorder.
The trouble began when Gen"
Flora Drummond mounted a wagon
and started to speak to the great as
semblage which was largely made up
of youths who had armed themselves
with ammunition of various descrip-
tons or with trumpets, mouth organs
and bells. Her appearance at the
front of the platform was the signal
for an outburst of deafening noise
and a bombardment of missiles. She
had hardly uttered a word when a
clod of turf struck her in the mouth.
Mrs. Drummond maintained her
good nature, smiled at her tormentors
and continued her speech amid a
Yeritable tornado of abuse, cat calls,
ragtime choruses and cries of go
home to your children"
At last Mrs. Drummonds speech,
of which not word was audible,
came to an end. and younger wo-
man took her place. She Jared no
better and the police, realizing the
danger the women were in, called
upon the chairman TO close the meet
ing.
A large force of police. mounted
and afoot, drew in about the suffrag
cite wagon and under this escort the
women were led out of the park. The
police endeavored to pilot the women
TO the tube station, but the crowd
brushed them aside and dragged the
women up and down the street. One
woman had her eye blackened and
all Of them had their clothes torn
and disheveled.
The police after half an hours
struggle got the upper hand and sue
ceeded in getting the badly mauled
women into the tube from which all
men were barred until ,order had
been restored

THE DISTRICT NURSE
Work Of Public Character Under the
Kings Daughters.

Bennington people who are inter
ested in the work of the Emergency
Circle of the Kings Daughters may
be glad to know something of the
work of Miss Grover the district
nurse. In 1910 it was made possible
through the kindness and generosity
of two honorary members of the
Circle to engage Miss Edith Grover
to care for the sick poor, to instruct
such families in the care of the sick
in their homes and to teach them
the principle of hygiene and santa
ton.
This enterprise was undertaken al
most with fear and trembling as it
could not be known the response it
would meet with at the hands of the
physicians and the public.
After three years of success the
work speaks for itself. Miss Grow
ers tact, faithfulness, industry and
efficiency are seen on all sides as
she goes in and out among her pat
ients. In connection with her work
or the Emergency Circle she cares
scr the sick of an industrial insur-
xs1Ce company which does business in
this section. The proceeds from
1his work is divided between Miss
Grover and the Kings Daughters
1916 visits were made from Feb. 1912
to Feb 1913, 934 for the Kings
Daughters and the remainder for the
insurance company.
The Kings Daughters appreciate
and are grateful for the cooperation
of the physicians for the kindness Of
the overseer of the poor for the sub
stantial aid given by societies and t
all who have helped along this worl
which has become necessity in oul
town just as it has in other towns
and cities of the country.
All friends who are interested il
charitable work are asked to remem
Der the needs of the Emergenc!
Circle. In a work of this kind boil
moral and financial support are nee
essary for its success.

APPEAL TO PUBLIC
FOR SUPPORT OF
PLAYGROUND
Bennington Ranks Among Lead
ers in This Work
VILLAGE MEETING TOMORROW
Girls Civic League Asks the Voters
to Continue Their Help for the
Movement.

To the voters of Bennington: -The
Bennington playground as carried on
last summer was one of 204 others
in this country. 1t was open during
July and August with an average
daily attendance of Ill. A success
full innovation was the evening open
ing In November following a rec
| reation survey of Bennington made
| under the Board of Trade an all year
| work was opened. AS beginning
athletic clubs for girls were formed,
which have been meeting afternoons
and evenings with an average week
| ly attendance of about ESQ. In this
| connection there have been social
| times and some work in childrens
| dramatics. An open winter here as
everywhere prevented the develop
ment of winter sports. On March
25th Festival will be held which
will be the largest community affair
since the Pageant. In spite of our
successes, however, we feel our work
has just begun and we have plans for
the wider use of our playground, the
extension OF winter activities and
the further use of our natural re-
sourses.
Organized recreation is now vital
issue throughout the country 1t is
universally considered to be a neces-
sity which should be supported by
public funds Firstly, because or
ganized games under good trainers
develop respect for the rights OF
others, fairness and selfcontrol; &C.
ments the schools and homes, and
counteracts lawlessness and de-
structiveness. A penny here is a dol
lar saved in asylums. hospitals, and
prisons.
Secondly, because the Declaration
of independence gives as the three
inalienable rights of man, life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness. II
God gave the impulse man ought to
: provide the playground. 1t must
not be left TO commercial ex-
plottation or private charities.
Thirdly. Because people live
in TOM as it provides work.
an education for their children, and
opportunities for personal enjoyment.
The depopulization of small towns is
largely due to the social call of the

cracksmen some time yesterday net
ted the thieves the largest haul OF
booty obtained in this city in many
years. Martin Simons & Sons, pawn
brokers at "a Hester street, were the
victims and the property stolen in
cludes $250,000 worth of jewery, dia-
monds and other precious stones and
100000 worth of negotible securi-

the pawnbrokers' richly stored vaults
by means of a tunnel from an abut-
ting building on a neighboring street.
They made a clean getaway with
their valuable loot.
The police are of the opinion that
six cracksmen were employed on the
job and that the tunneling required
all of Saturday night and greater
part of yesterday morning. 1t is
their belief that the actual robbery
took place yesterday afternoon while
hundreds of persons were passing
along the street in front of the pawn
shop. None of the tenants in either
the houses from which the tunnel
started or that in which the pawn
shop is located at any time heard
any unusual noises. A janitress

was begun in the cellar of 60 FL

the wall of the Eldridge street house
and into wood bin in the cellar of
the Simons store. Here, leading up
into the pawnbroker shop, is flight
