MANY HEAR
LECTURE BY
FATHER LYNCH

The lecture on last Friday evening
given by the Rev. Father Lynch, was
one of great worth and, merited the
approval of his hearers. Father
Lynch is fluent and pleasing speaker
and as his subject was one of vital
interest to all, it was irmost enjoy
able evening. The thought of men
everywhere as being their brothers
keeper, and the great wrong done
by men IN trying to sanction by their
vote ard thus showing approval of
that which has always been a curse,
wherever found, the license saloon,
was the sum of the remarks.
A very pretty sight was presented
as the children from the Convent
and the public schools marched in
two by two, from the rear of the
Hall, singing stirring marching
song. They took places on the plat
form and sang national hymn, "To
Thee, o Country" we may indeed
feel proud of our school children.
In most sincere and earnest remarks
not to be forgotten, Mr.. Porter H.
Dale then introduced the speaker of
the evening. Following the lecture
Miss Many Turgeon sang very
touching song, Where is my wan
dering boy tonight" Miss Turgeon
has voice of much sweetness and
her singing deserved the hearty ap-
plause received. Mrs. Dale and Mrs.
Lawton were untiring in their efforts
to make the musical part of the even
ing a success and by securing the aid
of Mr.. George L. Dyer, who so kindly
consented'toc accompany the singers
with the cello, ;"and with the able
training of the children,by Mrs.
Turgeon, the success was assured.
Much praise is due the latter for the
hours devoted to the rehearsals and
also to ladies of the w. c. 7. u. who
assisted in many ways. u

Entertains Literary Club

Mrs. Porter H. Dale entertained
the Ladies Literary Club at her home
last Thursday evening, February &c,
the event being their annual social.
About seventy members and invited
guests were present and the occasion
was one of great enjoyment in spite
of the disappointment caused by the
absence of Mr.. Dale who was to have
given reading, but was unable to
be present. The prog anime COM
mittee however had prepared a
number of good things in the way of
entertainment, and those present
were privileged to listen to piano
solo by Miss Portia Dale, vocal solos
by Miss Turgeon and Miss Norton
and G. S. Foster, also readings by
Mrs. Christie and Miss Colby. Dainty
refreshments were served and g
social hour was enjoyed, when the

ing a delightful occasion.

LIKED To SMASH CLOCKS
That Is One of James CarmichaePs
Ways of Amusement.

Among the reasons why Mrs. Lottie
Carmichael wants a legal separation
from James Carmichael, a manufacture
er of embroidery, as set forth in a
suit filed in the supreme court in
New York were the following:
Irascible disposition. Mania for
smashing clocks Struck her with a
glass. Threatened to throw her out Of
a second story window. Choked her.
Kissed another woman. Made love to
her daughter. Kept everybody in the
house awake at night. Tried to make
her take off her shoes. Tried to throw
her into the Hudson. Called her an
idiot, an imp and a pest. Struck her
grandson with folded newspaper.
Smashed a glass of whisky on the
dining table. Struck her in the face
with switch. Dislocated her "foat'
ing ribs Kicked in the door.
Wrenched her shoulder. Poked his
finger in her eye. Drank whisky and
beer mixed. "Got shot at by Jane
Does husband"

Benton Struck at Villa.

William S. Benton, the Scotchman,
was executed by Pancho Villa in
Juarez because he dared to resent an
epithet hurled at him by Villa.
Benton. twenty years a resident of
Mexico, still subject of Great Britain,
went to Villa to protest at depreda-
tions by Villas men on his ranch In
southwestern Chihuahua.
Villa cursed and slapped him and
Benton drew back to strike Villa in
resentment when Villa knocked him
down with his revolver. Whether the
man was shot by Villa as he lay on
the floor or was later executed by
order of the rebel court-martial, as
officially stated by rebel officers, Is
not positively known.
A Mexican man who was present
with several Others I'm Villas offices
when the difficulty occurred between
the British citizen and the rebel chief
tells the story.
Villa related his version OF the story
to American Consul Edwards at a CON
ference in the American consulate at
Juarez and a few hours later the rebel
leader hurried south to Chihuahua In
a special train.

ACTION BY JOHN
BULL is AWAITED
Villas killing Of Benton Has
Stirred Up England
TENSE SITUATION IS CREATED
Rebel General Declares Scotchman
Was in Plot to Assa ssinate Him and
Court-Martial Sentenced Benton.

That the death of William S. Ben
ton, Scotchman, in Juarez, Mex, may
be made the occasion of demands
upon the United States to take some
action in Mexico is regarded in Wash
ington as quite probable. 1t is not
seen, however, just what there is that
the United States can do in the mat
ter now that Benton is dead.
There is no disposition in well
informeds quarters to believe that
Great Britain will venture anything
drastic or press the United States to
an uncomfortable degree as result
of the Benton case.
1t is regarded as likely, however,
that the incident may stir up bad feel
ing in England and Europe and result
in increased pressure on the United
States in favor of American interven.
tion in Mexico.
The United States government will
have the keenest interest in whatever
course the British government decides
upon when informed of the killing Of
Benton.
Official notice of the death of Benton
was received by Secretary Bryan in
dispatches from Consul Edwards at
Juarez. Consul Edwards saw General
Villa in person and from him obtained
the fact that Benton was dead.
That Villa may have killed him
with his own hand is not regarded as
improbable and his hasty departure
for the south on a special train i'm
mediately after it became known in
Juarez that Benton was dead is re-
garded here as a fact giving the case
a more ugly appearance.

Of enthusiasm and cooperation given

the financial backbone not only OF
Pittsburg, but the entire nation be-
cause OF the industries they represent,
have given us their best support.
Words cannot express my gratitude
