The Commercial COLLEGE.

What will it be worth to Grenada to
have a Business College firmly and per-
manently established in our growing
and prosperous little city, that in due
time will bring in our midst from 100 to
2OL or more students annually, taking
the raw products from our county and
adjoining counties and developing them
into useful men and women, approx
mately saving $50, 600 to $50, 600 to the
people of this and surrounding commu-
mites?
However, the commercial view of
this matter is or should be the last con-
s%ideration. The real value lies in the
propositions home institution. A
school located among the home folks,
where our boys and girls do not come
in contact with the evil and idle tempt
atoms Of a large city with its allure
ments.
At this time, when the world is grow
ing commercially mad, commercial col
leges are a necessity. The age demands
this kind of training and the time is
here when a young man or a young lady
without a business training need not
apply for a position in the commercial
world. nor seek to enter the same on
their own responsibility; for they can
not NIL the n nor compete for the
other.
Then if time and conditions make
such requirements necessary. we must
meet them. r.
Then let US meet them at home. We
have a town whose moral atmosphere
is absolutely beyond question, and no
more healthful spot is to be found. We
have churches and Sunday schools for
religious training We have a class of
as hig~h-standard: people as is to be
found on earth. All told, Grenada is
an ideal center in which to build and
maintain a successful business college;
and while we have such a grand oppOr-
tunity to have this n in our city let
us continue to rally to get its support
and help.
The great need of such an enterprise
is keenly felt by this commonwealth,
and we must keep busy and support it
with our best efforts. XXX

Jokes About the
B, & 0. Are to Cease

Tired OF being made the 2coqtinual
Joke of the stage jester and claiming
that there is no longer justification
for holding the time and speed Of its
trains up before the public for ridi-
Guile, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company is making an appeal to a
number OF vaudeville and burlesque
managers of New York city, asking
them to have their funny men do
away with B. and o. jokes on the
stage.
The company claims that the per-
sistent holding up of the B. and o. as
an example of what railroad should
not be and the continual cracks taken
at its trains is creating a wrong i'm
preston in the minds of the public.
Moreover. it is claimed that the rec
ords of train runs on that road will
show that its trains are in fact max
ing an unusually high percentage. of
schedule runs.

Mrs. Pquletta
Is Under Arrest
PROBABLY KNOWS MORE ABOUT
kILARM MURDER THAN SHE
HAS TOLD.

Little has developed in the Black
Hand case today. The inquest start
cd yesterday afternoon. The most that
can be said so far is that the state.
ments are repugnant and that each
witness fails to support the stories
that they have already told.
One OF the things brought out yes.
itertay was that some of the gang
who are now in custody were living
at New England mines at the time q.
NJ. Reese was assailed and cut up.
Mrs. Pauletta, who said yesterday
after viewing the corpse of Jim Ra-
chello that he was not the noted lead.
er OF the Black Hand society in this
part of the country is reputed to have
changed her story after getting away
from the officials.
Mrs. Pauletta is reported 10 have
told several reliable witnesses that the
man in the Cunningham morgue whom
she saw was none other than Jim Ra-
chello, alias Julius Ross, who had
spread terror among the italians by
his rapacious appetite for blood. His
rapacity for human life can be imag.
med when 1t is said that he has been
responsible for at least fifty murders.
She told OF the amorous relations
that had existed between her and
Rachcllo and how he had christened
her baby. Other matters incident TO
their lives also was told.
Constable A. R. Riggs went over
to Mrs. Paulettas home in Water
street this afternoon and placed him
under arrest. She will be given an
opportunity to tell what she knows
while confronted by the witness to
whom she talked after leaving the
county officials yesterday.
The inquest resumed the taking of
evidence this afternoon. There Is a
large number Of witnesses to be ex,
amined.
