There are some curious contradic-
tiors in the superstitions about the
III luck of Friday. As all the world
knows, It is considered bad luck to
begin any enterprise, to marry or
start on a Journey On Friday On the
other hand, Friday is the best day OF
the week to pare ones nails. One

KEENE STONE SHED
PARTLY BURNED
Loss on Victoria White Granite Co. Plant
and Contents Estimated at $685.
600, Well Insured

Keene, N. H., Feb. g.. Fire which broke
out between 10 and II yesterday de-
stroyed two-thirds of the immense stone-
shed OF the Victoria White Granite com
pany, causing loss OF fully $4,000.
The shed is located on Victoria street,
nearly mile from the business center
of the city. 1t was 46s feet long and SO
feet wide.
The fire started in the compressor
room and for time spread with great
rapidity, but after the firemen finally
got fairly to work on the flames they
had them under control in about an
hour.
One hundred and thirty-four men are
thrown out of employment temporarily.
They are all experienced granite cutters
and commanding good wages. w. w.
Robertson, manager of the company, will
start the work of rebuilding at once.
The part OF the shed still standing will
be used, and by telegraph yesterday he
ordered a new electric motor, 100 horse
power, to replace the one destroyed in
the fire.
The building, which was owned by the
keene Development company, was in
sured for $4,000, and the contents for
$4,000, so that the loss is we'll covered.
Many tools and electrical appliances were
ruined. The switching engine drew from
the siding in the shed fiat car filed
with polished granite and an empty box
car. The company brings its granite
here from the quarries in Fitzwilliam.
One job just finished at contract
price of $4,000 was damaged to the ex-
tent of $4,000 or more.

BLAMEs CHARITY COMMITTEE.
"citizen" Thinks They Shouldn't Throw
All the Blame on a Woman.

Editor, Barre Daily Times; Much
space has been taken up in your valu-
able paper with reference to the man
.agcment of affairs AT ON city poor farm.
and ask ii you viii kindly give space
to this article.
] am not familiar with the intricate
duties Of the charity committee, but it
certainly seems to me IA laymanl that
goodly share OF the alleged misman-
agement, which the committee places on
the matron of the institution, should
be borne by the members of that com
mittce.
II does seem rather bad state Of af-
fairs when committee OF our city fa
theirs should endeayor to place their re-
sponsibilities on a woman. Why don't
they blame the overseer of the poorg Is
it not possible that their confidence in
him was also misplacedY Did the com
mittee examine the books OF the over
seer of the poor monthlyg II has been
the practice with past administrations,
why not with this? | am of the opin
ion. if this had been done. this wide
publicity regarding our poor farm would
have been averted.
To have confidence in another human
being is worthy virtue, but business is
business.

AUDIENCE SHOWED APPRECIATION
OF Splendid Concert Given at Universal
ist Church Last Evening.

A large gathering of music lovers at
tended the concert given in the Univer-
salist church last evening under the aus
pices Of the ladies' union. As a music
festival it was one of the treats OF the
season and it is doubtful if any company
of local musicians in recent years has
been greeted with more genuine applause
than that which the participants received
last night.
The program opened with an overture,
"I.e Grand Duehesse dc Gerolstein," (0f-
fenbach), by Prof. w. A. Wheaton, whose
contributions on the organ constituted
some of the most pleasurable numbers
of the evening The Orpheus male quar-
tet followed with Christmas eantata.
"The Story of Bethlehem" (Spencel. and
during the 30 minutes given over to its
rendering the attention of the audience
was rapt. DIR. f. NJ. Lynde contributed
a. French Canadian dialect reading for
the next number that found instant IA
vor.
Dudley Bucks "Fear Not Ye O Israeli
was sung by DIR. D. c. Jarvis in excel
lent voice. His encore, "Drink TO Me
Only With Thine Eyes was received
with like acclaim. Under the direction
of Miss Josephine Hovey of the music
department in the city schools. the
Spaulding glee club sang Toward the
Shores of Pellestrina" t0ffenbschl. The
work of the students brought forth com
mandatory remarks from the most crit
ical and the impression they made in
the first number was sustained in the
encore. "The Anvil Chorus" with an or
gan accompaniment.
BY request Prof. Wheaton played the
sextette from Lucia (DonizettD, and
3Humoresker tDvorakl Both numbers
seemed to strike responsive chord in
the audience, for the plaudits were loud
and ioaz. The professor responded with
"Gavotte- frcsa "Mignon' fThomas). A
trio consisting oi DIR. Jarvis, George W.
Grant and George r AIaekay, sang "The
Lord Is My Salvation" Verdi, which
was well received. DR.. Lynde contribut-
ed another reading and the program con-
cluded with quartet rendering, winter
Song" (Bullard).
Credit for the success Of the concert
is due in a large measure to the musi-
clans. who gave freely of their time and
talent. The ladies union had charge OF
all arra ngements through its committee.
Of which Mrs. A. W. Eastman was the
chairman.

SHOT IN DEFENSE
OF HIS STORE
John J. Gately, Clerk at Roxbury, Mass,

by Robbers.

Boston Feb GA daring attempt to
rob the Roxbury Loan company at l247

of them returned the fire, hitting the
clerk in the body
While Gately, weak from the loss of
blood, telephoned to the police station
for assistance, squads of officers secured
Roxbury and gave Intellectual chase to
the robbers. They escaped, but are
known to the police, it is believed.
The men entered the store at
O'Clock, one asking for a suit of clothes.
Gately prepared to measure the man,
but moved toward the office when he
saw the other two making toward the
safe, where money, diamonds, and jew
elry were kept.
The men Jumped" Gately when they
saw his purpose, but after graphing
with them he broke away and reached
for his revolver. in getting hold of it
he had to turn his back to the men, and
when he faced them each was pointing
a revolver at him.
He fred into the air at the same time
that one of the men discharged his re-
yolver, the bullet hitting Gately just
above the kidneys. The clerk fell and
the men ran.
They raced through Terry street to
Columbus avenue, jumped on wagon
and rode as far as Ruggles street, and
then dashed through Bryant street, pur-
sued all the time by officers who had
been attracted by the shots. They es-
capped by jumping from fence.

A WORD FROM THE
OVERSEER OF POOR
Willing to Take All Blame Due Him
and Is Not Seeking Refuge Be-
hind Anyone.

Editor of the Barre Daily Times For
the benefit of the public ! have the hon
Or to submit herewith report Of the
conditions existing at the city farm and
expenditures arising therefrom.
Under ordinary conditions it has been
the custom to figure the average cost OF
the city's poor at $S per month for each
person.
There are now, and have been for the
past five or six months, IL people at the
city farm. nine of them being inmates,
and / will describe few of the cases
for you to Judge as to whether they
would be considered ordinary cases,
extraordinary cases calling for unust. Z.
care, food and other articles which APP
pear on the bills incurred.
One Of the cases is a man cared for
on Crosby bed purchased for his use.
This man is as much care as child
six months old, increased by his weight
and sickness. The care Of this person
accounts for the purchase of Florida wa
ter.
A second case is woman who has
been confined to her room for about two
months with loathsome disease.
The third case is young man suffer
ing with tuberculosis. Ii seems hard
that case like this should come under
the jurisdiction of the department Of
the poor but while he is there his care
calls for some articles out of the ordi-
nary. If young American should draw
his lot in foreign city ! doubt if the
citizens of Barre would begrhdge him
a little fruit and 40-eent coffee.
A fourth case calling for unusual care
at the present time is a man very low
with pneumonia.
The rest of the inmates might be con-
sidered as ordinary but would bear in
spection.
Figuring the cases as ordinary at the
customary basis of SO per month the
total would be 500. The bill for January
totalled some over 500 but | understand
that there is rebate on some Accent
coffee returned, which viii bring the bill
under 500.
| have the honor to further state that
as far as any blame Is concerned | am
not seeking refuge behind anyone, neith-
err am / clothed in another's garment. In
this case am not playing the role OF
a school boy but stand firmly on my own
feet and am willing to take all the blame
due me.
All officials and the public generally
are invited to investigate the conditions
and expenses at the city farm and draw
their own conclusions.
w. f. Shepard
Oyerseer of Poor, City OF Barre.
