DR.. Charles Eliot

New Haven, CT, Feb. 9.-Dr Charles
W. Eliot former president of Harvard
University, in a letter to Charles F. Pen
der of the local Trolley Mems Union says
that while labor unions have raised
wages and shortened hours. they have
had a bad effect on the character ana
happiness of their members.
Mr. Fender had written DR.. Eliot re-
ouestine him to explain his reasons for
disliling trade unions. He made public
the reply today.
DR.. Eliot says his objections to unions
are altogether educational and moral
BECAUSE of certain Objectionable meth
ods"-especially the use of violence to
gain their ends-he declares the erect
upon the morals and characters OF the
members is bad.
II cannot agree with you that tne
unions have brought happiness to any
working man. Happiness and content are
states of mind. All well-read
thinking people believe that the progress
of civilization depends on universal.

seem to believe that the less one works.

Lieut.. Post Dies
By 5OO=Foot Fall.

San Diego. Cal, Feb. 9.-Lieut. H.
B. Post, LIST Aero Corps, U. S. A, was
instantly killed today by a fail of
500 fet in a hydro-aeroplane. About
$50 feet from the surface of the bay,
Lieut.. Post was seen to shoot clear
of the machine. 1t was said by watch
ers that the engine exploded.
Lieutenant Post was flying for an
altitude record. He had the reputa-
ton of being the best aviator in the
army camp on North Island across
the bay from San Diego.
The aviator started from the han
gars at North Island with the inten-
ton of trying to break the worlds al
titude record. Perfect atmospheric
conditions prevailed. Just how high he
went is not known, but a Paragraph
record from the wreckage recorded his
highest altitude at 300 metres, or
1910 feet. Should these figures stand,
Post broke both the worlds altitude
record for hydro aeroplanes and the
American army record for heavier than
air machines.
Lieutenant Post, in the act of de-
scending by a series of easy glides, had
come within 600 feet of the earth when
spectators saw the machine swerVe
and then pitch into the bay.

six months in the county Jail, and in
addition must pay the county treas
urer $1,000 and in default of payment
must spend an additional six months

for his crime. This, by the way. was
the only indictment prosecuted this
term for Illegal sale of Intoxicating
liquor and that doesn't mean that any
body is in "collusion' with anybody
else. 1t simply means that the sheriff

Do you wear glasses? Are you a VIC

If SO, you will be glad to know that

their eyes restored through the principle
of this wonderful free prescription. One
man says, after trying 1t: II was almost
blind; could not see to read at all. Now

1t was like a miracle to me-. A lady
who used it says: THE atmosphere
seemed hazy with or without glasses but
after using this prescription for fifteen
days, everything seems clear can
even read fine print without glasses" 1t
is believed that thousands who wear
glasses can now discard them in rea
sonable time and multitudes more will
be able to strengthen their eyes so as to
be spared the trouble and expense of
ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of
many descriptions may be wonderfully
benefited by following the simple rules.

POehler Bowls a
Worlds Record.

Bowling magnifcently and displaying
marvellous accuracy all the way, Paul
Poenler earned his right TO be called the
greatest bowler the game has ever
known, Saturday night last, at Manehes-
ter, ~ H., when he knocked down the
amazing total4 of 1915 candlepins in u
strings and Smashed to smithereens the
previous worlds record held by Archie
Walsh of 1882, which Archie made bowl
ing against Poehler himself at Webster.
Mass, few weeks ago. and which mark
was believed would stand all the on
slaughts of the candlepin shooting stars
for a long time.
Poehler's new worlds record is just %
pins better than Walsh's mark. The
King" was pitted against two Manches-
ter experts and that he made them look
like beginners is shown by the beating
he gave them. They were Claird and Gull
len and they each bowled five strings and
totaled only 942, while Poehler piled up
1215.
There are many experts who have pre-
dicted that the 1900 figures would never
be reached for a 10-string total of candle
pins, but Poehler was the man to upset
this dope. He sustained his reputation
as the greatest of all bowlers, and prov
ed the contention that has been made by
men who have followed the game for
wears. that notwithstanding Poehler's
two recent defeats by Walsh, the big
nu+cbnan was by far the superior bowler
and would show it in time.

REV. W, F. BERRY
TALKS At BANGOR ON
EXCLUDED EVIDENCE,

Bangor, Me, Feb. 9.-Rev. w. F.
Berry, D. d, secretary of the Chris
tan Civic League, who is under SEN
tence on the charge Of having GRIM
inally libeled an associate justice of
the supreme court. spoke Sunday night
in the Columbia street Baptist church,
his subject being Excluded Evidence"
1t has been years since so large an
audience has been attracted to a
Protestant church in Bangor. Every
seat was taken long before the address
began, the great gathering overlooking
into the aisles and upon the pulpit
steps, while the scores-perhaps hun
dreds-were turned away. Seated be-
side the speaker were Rev. b. T. Liv-
ingston of the Columbia Street Bap-
fist church, Rev. Oscar Smith of the
First Methodist, Rev. George A. Mar
tin of Grace Methodist, Rev. C. w.
Collier of the Hammond Street Con-
gregational, Rev. Alva r. Scott of the
Unitarian, Rev. j. A. Woodwork of
the Advent, and General Secretary
Robert A. Jordan of the Y. M. c. A.
The introduction was by Rev. Mr..
Livingston, who mentioned that DR..
Berry spoke by invitation of the stand
ing committee of the Columbia street
church, and who told of the prompt
and hearty cooperation of the other
churches when it was suggested that
the service be a union one. He termed
the gathering one of the finest ever
held in Bangor, both in numbers and
character, and considered ii a tribute
to DIR. Berry.
DIR. Berry spoke for an hour and 80
minutes. If there were those who eX-
pected him to be vindictive or sensa
tional they were undoubtedly disap-
pointed. He is a speaker of exceptional
ability. and his address, which was
given with certain quiet dignity and
force, conveyed the impression of
marked earnestness, care and SINGER
ity He was interrupted many times
by applause, and his occasional touch
es of humor and sentiment found
quick and appreeiative response.
The substance of DIR. Berrys re-
marks was that the alleged iibelous
articles were written without malice
or prejudice. in accordance with what
he believed to be his duty to the Chris
tan Civic League, the readers of his
paper and the public, and in his opin-
ion were warranted by conditions pre-
ceding. during and following the Sep
TENDER term of court in Bangor.
A generous subscription was taken
toward the work of the Christian Civic
League, which is now, according to
the statement of DR.. Owen. one of the
secretaries, in greater need of funds
than ever in its history.
