CELEBRAToRS WERE OUT
But They Did Little Actual Damage
About Barre.

Halloween pranks in Barre last night
were marked by few evidences of bois.
terousness, and the observance on the
whole was comparatively tame This
was due in measure to the vigilance of
the police and again toward saner view
OF a holiday when the premium on order
illness is supposed to be removed for the
time e-being. Three special officers were
detailed TO duty at police headquarters
last night.
There were a number of minor COM
plants registered at the station to-day,
but the damage was not of a serious
character Edward Desotelle, a South
Main street tea man, told the officers
that a crowd of youngsters carried away
his tea care some time in the night
The cart was conspicuous target for
the celebrators, for it was left alongside
the street. Once the cart had disap-
peared, the lads came back after Mr.
Desotelle's horse, according to the COM
plainant, but a strong lock on the barn
door offered effective hindranee to their
designs.
Someone broke into the basement of
Spaulding school, but the janitor, who
discovered a broken window on the east
side of the building this morning, could
not be positive that the miscreants made
away with anything. The matter was
reported to the police. All over the city
gardens paid Halloween toll to maraud-
ing bands of young people, Steps were
removed in many instances and there
were other demonstrations of the mis-
chief instinct. There were several Hal
lowe'en parties and a few private dances
were held

TESTIMONY COMPLETED.
And Arguments Started in the Richards
Murder Case.

Brattleboro, Nov. l-All of the testi-
mony in the trial of Almon NJ. Richards
of Bellows Falls for the murder of
George L. Field of that town last
August, which has been in hearing at
the Windham county court at Newfane
for the last three days, was in at 2;45
o'clock yesterday afternoon and two of
the arguments had been made before the
adjournment OF court at five o'clock.
Judge Miles then excused the jury to
Monday afternoon when the remaining
arguments will be made
The defense elected to put the re-
spondent on the stand in his own defense
and he made fairly favorable impress
sion. He agreed with the witnesses for
the state as to the occasion for his en-
tering the restaurant on the evening of
August when Field called to him re-
garding the matter of rent. He claimed,
however, that Field called him a vile
name and that when he opened the
screen door TO enter Field ran and that
he never got anywhere near him, much
less near enough to strike him
He said that Mrs. L. Field "came at
him like a cat and he warded her off,"
but that he did not strike her. On cross
examination he admitted that he was
mad and might have struck Mrs. Field.
He swore that he left the restaurant and
that he did not know Richards had been
injured until the Monday following and
not until later tiat same day did he
hear that he had been accused of in
juring him. A dozen other witnesses
were examined during the morning be-
fore Richards was placed on the stand
and they corroborated in part the story
later told by the principal character in
the trial. Robert J. Adams. a Pinkerton
detective, testified that George Law
renee, boarder at the Field restaurant
who was present during the fracas. told
him that they wanted to send Richards
up to shield Mrs. Field

Training a paughter for Marriage.

In the November Woman's Home
Companion woman contributor tells
how, with the assistance of her servant
Maggie, she trained her daughter, Helen,
for marriage to Robert. Following is
an extract.
"For time her most serious trouble
seemed to lie in buying meats. Our bill
increased alarmingly. One morning /
heard Maggie remark;
"'Well, Miss Helen, if you say to the
butcher, 81 don't know a thing about
meat. Send a nice steak for SIX" he
sure will cheat you. And it amt any
use for you to poke your fingers into a
piece of meat and look wise. He'll see
through you. You got to know meat
"This appealed to me as sound rea-
soning. Every morning during the next
fortnight | went with Helen to the meat
market and the butcher would explain
cuts to us if we came in early. Thanks
to this plan, Helen now knows how to
buy meat,

GHOSTS" STALKED ABOUT.
At the Halloween Party in the Presby-
terian vestry.

On visiting the parlors of the Presby'
terian church last evening people might
have thought it was an old fashioned
"huskin' bee" or something of the sort
but no, it was only good celebration OF
Halloween. The affair was conducted
under the auspices of the Bible class OF
the church and it was under the direc-
tion of Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan Salmond
and the success of the entertainment
was due in great measure to their un-
tiring efforts to produce something that
had not been seen in this vicinity be-
fore, and in this they were successful.
The room was decorated in most fit
ting ways. Jack o. lanterns were placed
in the windows as were paper ones
around the lights and the dim light com
ing from the candles and the shaded
lights gave the room "ghostly" appear
ance. In the front of the hall was built
large platform. This was decorated in
very pretty manner. 1t represented
a Moonlight scene A large moon with
stars, Illuminated by dim light, ap-
peared through forest and a black cat
perched on limb of tree. At inter
walls members of the class dressed as
ghosts appeared ON the scene, mingling
with the people and making the shivers
creep over many.
The program was as follows: Address,
"Hamlet's Ghost; reading, "Booga
Man," Mrs. Stephenson; solo, "The Three
Little Chestnuts, Miss Alice Walker;
character reading from Macbeth Mrs.
Salmond; novel dance entitled, "Frolic
and the Fairies" participated in by the
following eight young girls, Williamina
Sangster, Ruth Armstrong, Ruth Sal
mond, Margaret Farrar, Chrissie Stew
art, Gertrude Thompson, Hazel Stewart,
and Catherine Ritchie. These girls were
dressed in costumes to represent fairies,
having little wings and crowns, 1t was
the most elaborate part of the evenings
program and was much enjoyed by all.
A tableau followed, finishing the pro-
gram.
Apples were then tied up by strings
and how the old people laughed to see
the little ones eating the apple without
it with their hands. The first
prize was won by Hazel Stewart and the
second by Wendell Lundgren. In =
small ante-room, dark and mysterious,
was situated the tent of Madame Futud-
esky. Here many had their present,
past and future told. Mrs. Stephenson
acted acceptably as fortune teller In
a corner of the hall light refreshments
Of punch and waters were served by
Misses Lena Mcdonald, Jennie Marr
and Alice Walker.
Marching was in order and the large
and happy crowd dispersed for their
homes after having spent one of the
NOSE enjoyable Halloween entertain
ments. As was evident the affair was
highly successful both as to pleasure and
and the class viii realize
goodly sum when all money is turned
over to the treasury.

Boston, Nov. l.--'Let her 60" shouted
the captain of a fire company to his men
who were raising a ladder at small fire
on Summer street this morning. Work
men, who were manning a winch which
held 3O-ton steel girder for subway
construction, thought the command came
from their foreman and they "let her
CO." with the result that the girder de-
scended perilously close to the heads Of
10 laborers in the excavation.
Then the foreman, seeing the mistake,
countermanded the order in time to
check the descent of the girder and save
the lives of the men.

A SUGGESTION.

w. II. Cowles, owner and publishe

and Chronicle. visited the Occur
d'Alene mining district for severa
days recently. Through interviews
he expressed high appreciation Of tn,
great mining enterprises in this coun.
try, spoke nicely of our good highways
and admiringy compared our noun.
tain scenery with the greatest In the
world. All Of which is pleasing in
deed to our people. 1t is timely just
now In the proper spirit to direct at
tention to everyday offensive refer
ences Of Mr. Cowles' newspapers to
the mines of the Occur d'Alenes This
district Is second in Importance and
production Of those of the west 1t has
distinct identity of It's own and pro-
poses to preserve 1t. 1t is in no sense
a dependency on any other place in
the world. Our visitor should have
observed, in travelling from Spokane to
the Occur d'Alenes. about 100 miles,
that he passed through several coun-
ties and into another state. When
here he was far away from the "Spo-
kane Mines" Qf there be such thing,
as mining sections are usually bound
ed and described. He was out Of the
Spokane Country Ga section Of in

Mr.. Cowles' newspapers locate the

he was out Of that when here) a ter
ritory of unlimited boundaries, but all
tributary to Spokane. where his news
papers are so often accustomed 10

Of other producing parts Of this UNI
defined, but far-reaching territory.
There is no doubt, from verbal ex-
pressions and printed interviews, that
Nj. Cowles fully realized that he was
in the Occur dAlene mining district
for In no instance, so far as our in
formation goes, did he refer to "Spo-
kane Mines" or apply any other than
the proper name To line up his news
papers thus would broaden them to
that extent, would deal fairly with a

conception of the country to many
thousand readers who have not per-
sonal knowledge Of it.
