Italian clubs in the city united Satur-
day night in holding largely attend
ed dance in the Socialist auditorium on

the kind held in many months. From

hall was crowded with dancers. Music
was furnished to the satisfaction OF
everyone by the stonecutters' band
Throughout the evening refreshments
were served to the dancers and onlook-

tai.
Plans for the dance had their incep-
tion over month ago when each OF
the three clubs appointed committees
to confer with the common purpose OF
doing something to further the work OF
the hospital. II was finally decided t.
hold dance and Saturday nights sue
cessful affair was the outcome.

or more of the {. V. X, r. officials
also a representative of the Tenney cleo
trical company
Many of the committee have in the
past year put in hours that would run
into weeks of time. which have taken
them away from their own business and
would gladly have put in more work
had they been able to do all they have
tried.
We realize that we have not accom-
plished as much as we should; at the
same time we do feel that we have
started several things that this coming
year will see finished.
Your suggestions at this meeting may
help this next year work. We want
more business for Barre. We want bet
ter railroad rates. We want new
hotel. We want and need "a good many
things that we can have if we all pull
together We want building loan.
This would help hundreds to save mon
ey and in short time own their own
home. This building loan would help
all classes; it would mean better Barre,
a more independent people.
Officers of the Board of Trade ask ~
your help that you may be with them
Tuesday evening to elect officers, to hear
what the speakers have to say and at
the same time lunch, touch elbows and

Following a Period When He
Was Thought to Be
Dying
PHYSICIANS REPORT
SYMPTOM REASSURING
Late Last Night He Had a
Bad Coughing Spell,
Emitting Blood

Rome, April l4.-Pope Plus Ks con
dition was improved to-day The bulle
Tin issued by his physicians says that
His Holiness passed a tranquil night ano
that his bronchial symptoms were re-
assuring. His temperature was 80 and
lis general condition was good.
Although the pope rested quietly dur
ing the forenoon, his physicians were
somewhat concerned about his growing
weakness. The pontifr took little notice
Of those around him. His temperature
had decreased at noon and it was be-
believed there was no further danger
from an attack OF pneumonia.
Great alarm was occasioned about
eleven o'clock last night, when the pope,
during long access of coughing emitted
a quantity of blood. Those present
thought that he was dying and rushed
for a doctor and Cardinal Merry Del Val
The latter, on reaching the bedside, re-
stored calm, saying that probably the
Pope would feel great relief, as the pres.
ence OF the blood was doubtless due to
the rupture of small vessel in the
throat
There was another alarm yesterday
afternoon. That occurred at st. Peters.
A hundred Polish pilgrims, led by their
bishop, were within the Basiliea. when
they heard the sound of many bells.
Thinking that this was the announce
ment of the death of the pope they
gathered around the bishop and intoped
prayers for the dead.
DIR. Amici, in a statement made last
right, prior to the extremely serious con-
ditions which arose, said:
"The condition of the pope is gra 70
but not alarming. We can overcome the
present crisis Then if he follows the
doctors advice, he may live some years
more
The present relapse was due to the re.
luctance of the PontiH to submit strict
ly to the medical regime. The moment he
feels better he wishes to resume his or
dinary occupations which cause loss OF
strength and great danger"

in Short Time.

Burlington. April l4.--Nlrs. Henry La

afternoon by drinking earbolic acid ac
her rooms on the top floor OF the old
Boston store block on Church street. She
drank two ounces of the acid shortly be-
fore two o'clock and died at eight minutes
past that hour

bottle of perfume, was found in a dying
condition by her young son, Fred, sitting
in chair by window in a rear room OF
the floor. with the bottle containing a
couple of teaspoonfuls of the acid, at her
feet
Mrs. Lavalley had made threats earlier
IN the day to commit suicide, but her son
and Mr.. and Mrs. John Hart, her brother
and wife, supposed they had dissuadci
her from the idea. About an hour before
she committed the act, her son, Fred,
found her with the bottle OF acid but she
laughed him off, telling him not to be
foolish. She then placed what the Others
supposed was the acid in drawer of the
dresser.
But later, becoming anxious at her
failure to re-appear, her son went to one
Of the vacant rooms at the rear OF the
floor and found her unconscious in Il
chair.
No reason for her act Is known. Fo2
the past year and over she had not been
living with her husband, who is n
because. it is said, of his
failure to support her. Mr.. Lavalley was
ler second husband. she having married
im after the death of her first husband, |
Thomas Kerns. She is survived by three |
sons, Walter Fred and Connie; three /

Montreal at a speed of between 20 and
90 miles an hour, when from some as yet
unknown cause the engine and the three
first coaches left the rails near East
Greenfield station.
The telescoping of the ends of the de-
rallied coaches caused most of the fatali
ties, nearly all of which occurred in the
first two of the derailed cars. Escaping
steam from the boiler of the locomotive,
which was thrown over on its side, filled
the coaches and hampered passengers in
escaping.

DOING SUNDAY BUSINESS.
Various Stores Were Open Yesterday in
Spite of Request

Nearly every confectioner ice cream
dealer and fruit man in the city opened
| for business at the usual Sunday hours
! yesterday 1t was the first time in two
weeks. for on the preceding Sunday the
stores were closed at the request of
the aldermanic license committee and 4
policeman. At the regular meeting OF
the city council last Monday night, the
license committee made favorable recz
concentrations on applications for IT,
censes from eleven dealers. The num-
ber was later shaved down to six and
five of the applicants were consequently
left out in the cold on the Sunday open
ing proposition. Some of the rejected
applicants were open for business yes.

In many instances business places
handling fruit, ice cream or seonfection-
ery We're, therefore, open without the
sanction OF the city council and in def
ance to the old blue laws. it is said
Whether any action will be taken in
the matter remains to be seen, but p
canvass among the dealers this morning
revealed general sentiment in favor Of
opening each Sabbath even though the
council should insist on rejecting their
applications for license. Dealers on
whose stores the Sunday ban has been
placed say that the restrictions are en-
tirely unjust. They mean to force the
matter to an issue and to that end,
several, it is said, have taken coun-
sci.
According to statements made by se2
eral dealers today, they have made an
effort to enforce the rule whereby 'cc
cream and fruit. designated as lunch
con when eaten where it is purchased
cannot be taken from the store in a
parcel Whether or not these restric
tions were in order everywhere yester
day could not be learned.
