BAPTIsTs YIELD TO WOMEN
Convention at Detroit Gives Sex the
Riqht to Office.

Thursdays session of the northern
Baptist convention at Detroit was
devoted largely TO purely routine
business and several addresses.
Thirty-five new missionaries were
appointed for foreign fields and they
will sail for their destinations dur
ing the coming summer and winter.
Divergence of views regarding the
method for final vote on important
questions caused a verbal battle on
the convention floor yesterday. The
debate lasted two hours and became
so heated that action on the matter
was postponed until tomorrow. The
discussion was the result of an effort
to amend the bylaws so that a ma
jority vote by states could decide i'm
portant issues. instead of vote by
the general convention.
Much discussion was heard yes
terday concerning the conventions
action in giving women delegates
right to hold places on nominating
committees and the privilege of hold
ing offices. Heretofore the men
have controlled nominating commit
tees and Offices. The women claim
the new arrangement is an import
ant victory.

vexatious Question at Brattleboro
Brattleboro, May 22.-The public
service commission has modified its
order, made about three years ago,
with reference to the abolition of the
Bridge street grade crossing here ia
accordance with plans of the Boston
and Maine and Central Vermont ran
roads and the town of Brattleboro.
The commission has fixed the clear
ance of the overpass at Is feet after
a public hearing on the matter at the
Brooks house yesterday afternoon.
Clarke c. Fits, attorney for the
town committee, used several wit
nesses to show that the probable dan
ger to life was less with an IS than
with a 22-foot clearance The heigh,
of the clearance was left to the dis
erection of the public service commits
sion by a special act of the last Leg
islature after the bill for an 1S-foot
clearance had been defeated. The
proposed roalroad changes in this vii
lage, involve an expenditure of about
100000. of which the state is to
bear $12.5Q0. the town of Brattleboro
$4,000, and the railroad companies
the remainder.

New York, May 23.-Under the
terms of an agreement with the boss
BARRIERS made on Wednesday even
ing, some 1900 of the short hours"
journeymen went to work yesterday,
according to officers of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Industrial
Workers of the World, who were in
charge of the BARRIERS strike. They
will work from 7.30 to Z o'clock in
the evening on week days, with an
hour off for dinner. They will not
work on Sundays and only four
hours IN legal holidays. The short
hour workers are employed for the
most part, in office buildings through
out the city. Joseph J. Ettor of the

More shops took down the CLOSED"

in defiance of the /. w. w. At the
shop of Charles Rerf, at 3 West
Fourth street, where there was a
fight several days ago, several bar
bers and a manicure girl were at
work. The proprietor of the shop
said that nothing would induce him
to employ members of the /. W. W.,
and, pointing to a club like a police

There's the argument that we

SUMMER VISITORS COMING
Town Should Clean Up and Look its
Prettjest

We quote from a members timely
and valuable suggestion and recon-
mend that it be tried out thoroughly
throughout Bennington county.
THE time is close at hand when
our town will be visited by many
from abroad, relatives, friends or
strangers. Would it not be well to
act as though we expected them and
were ready to receive them or have
them look us over? If so, would it
not be in place to clean up our door
yards and the surroundings of our
buildings? In fact, this is, to a large
extent, merely the matter of disposi-
ton as often an hours work after
supper of the members of the house
hold will accomplish the work but
even though it should require an
hours work after several suppers,
believe that it would be a paying in
vestment and We would feel more as
though we were living true and sat
isfactory life, besides often the rub
bish We would pick up might be put
to some use instead of rotting upon
