Art Exhibition at High School.

On Friday, April "A at and p. m. there will be on display al the Putnam High school, an exhibition of pictures of more than ordinary interest. In the evening there will also be an entertain ment given by the students and con- sisting of an illustrated lecture and of music, both instrumental and vocal. There will also be sale of homemade candy, the product of the Domestic Science department.
 The collection of pictures comprises some two hundred subjects represent ing all the principal schools of art and including many reproductions of sculp- ture, architecture and important views from nature. There will be on sale an excellent catalogue which gives num- Der of important facts concerning the pictures and their painters. Nearly every art gallery and country in the world would have to be Visited in or der to see the originals of these pict- ures which, although copies, are some of the very best In exixtence.
 The exhibition is to be presented for the purpose of giving the people an op- portunity to see collection of the worlds masterpieces, thus increasing the interest in the study of art, and for the purpose of raising funds for the purchase of pictures for the high school building. A minimum admis- sion fee of Is cents will be charged. None should fail to take advantage of this rare opportunity and everyone will be fully repaid for the slight trouble and expense in the pleasure and profit gained, besides helping worthy cause.
 No city or town should be indiffer- ent to the culture and refinement of it's people. It is parti of the school word to inculcate these qualities in the children through whatever means it has,at it's disposal. The wholesome and refining influence of pictures of the right,sort on the school walls is now generally recognized AS one of the most valuable means of securing this end. The funds for purchasing such pictures, as well as an opportunity to make selection from a very large number, Is secured by means of the ex- hibition. The slarger the attendance, the greater the number of pictures that can be secured for the schools.
 We hope you will not fail to visit the exhibition, .and believe you will be fully repaid for the slight trouble and expense in the pleasure and profit you will gain for yourself, besides helping on the work.

Boards of Trade Unanimous as to the
 Sound Lines

The Boards of Trade and Business Mems Associations of Southeastern New England have with hardly an exception passed resolutions protesting against the divorcing of the Sound line steamers from the New Ha, en system. A recent editorial from the Boston Transcript saysi
 At a Monday meeting of the Holyoke Board of Trade it was voted to lodge with the Interstate Commerce Com mission an emphatic protest against the proposed surrender of the sound lines of steamers by the New Haven railroad It was contended that such separation would mean interference with the present satisfactory handling of New York freight. and local naer- chants and manlnactnrers would sui fer in consequence. By the present fa- eililies freight can be sent from the city at six o'clock at night and reach New York at seven the next morning. Presumably these men have very little sentiment concerning the matter and know what they are talking about. The main point of the transportation problem is how shall the public best be served? Holyoke is not exception al. If the dissolution of this coEnee- tion, which has existed as long as the railroad has been operated, would hurt the interests Of that cltyiit would hurt the interests of all other towns and cities in that section, and in the east ern portion of the State the injury would be still greater. The travelling public and the business interests of all New England we believe to be pretty solidly opposed to such step and they should be better judges of the situation than an official body that at best has to take a more or less long-distance view of it. A section as large and dis tinct as this is, after an experience of eighty years or more, ought to know and does know what kind lof service is best for it's own convenience, and to take away the Sound lines would look like gratuitous and an unjustifiable Snub

DIES SUDDENLY
Channcy 5. Child Stricken with ApOpleIy
One of Woodstock's Rising Young Men

The people of the town of Woodstock were greatly shocked Tuesday morn- ing when they learned of the sudden death the night before of Chauncy $. Child, 20, son of Judge Clarence H. Child and wife. His dea.h was due to a stroke of apoplexy. He was one of the foremost young men of the town, was member of the board of assess ors, past master of Senexet grange and president of the Christian Endeavor society of the Congregational church of which he was member.
 MT. Child had not been i'll during his life, aside from slight indispositions from colds or grip, and he was consid- cred in the best of health. Monday he was at the Woodstock fair grounds where he attended a lecture on spray ing trees. Upon his return home late in the afternoon he told his father that he was going to hitch up pair of new horses that had just been purchased and was going to take his wife for a ride. The son lives on the farm ad. joining his fathers and drove over for his wife. Upon returning he left his wife at their home and as he drove in- to his fathers yard he called to him and asked him to come quick and take the reins as he could not use his left hand. As he stepped down from the wagon he collapsed and it was found that his whole left side was paralyzed. A doctor was hastily summoned. MT. Child died about II o'clock.
 MT. Child was born in Woodstock and attended the public schools and Woodstock Academy. He married Miss Louise Lindeman some few years ago. Besides his wife he leaves two sons, aged and 4 years, father and mother, brother, Spencer of Concord, N. H., and sister Rilla, who lives at home. The death of MT. Child has cast gloom of sadness over the whole town.
