from Hope Valley, located only a few miles away, that a burglar had en- tered the house of one of the residents there, causing much concern to the occupants.
 Wednesday morning Henry Clarke was suddenly awakened from peace ful sleep by the sound of someone wandering around in his apartment. Continuing to hear the sound of foot steps and shifting furniture he decided to investigate. He found that a man, who, it is said, was under the in fuence of liquor,. had entered the house by mistake. The individual had found an entrance easily, as one of the doors of the Clarke house had been inadvertently left open. The vis- itor was not given a very cordial re- ception and soon departed for his own abode. Later in the day he apologized for his intrusion.
 Letters received by the British Re- lief society of this town indicate that have been received in England and forwarded to the needy ones.
 The society has received three let ters of thanks from the authorities in England. Extracts from the letters follow:
 This committee begs to offer grate- full thanks to the British Relief so- ciety of Rhode Island for the splendid gift forwarded by yourself for the men in the fleet.
 You say in your letter that it is the sincere wish of the society that the contents of these cases may be of use. This wish ought to be amply fulfil1ed-each warm garment sent ought to be of use and pleasure to its recipient
 Another letter says: T would ten- der you and your other kind friends in Rhode Island our most grateful thanks for the very valuable gifts you are sending us, all of which are most ac- ceptable and useful
 Of interest to managers of moving picture houses in Westerly and Paw catuck is the moving picture bill which has just passed the Rhode Island house. When the measure was being discussed several amendments were attempted, but each failed. The bill provides three square feet for every person standing.
 The amendments lost considered the making of the space six feet square and three by two respectively
 It is stated that this measure has been the cause of more lobbying than any other yet considered during this session of the assembly.

DREAD POISON CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM

TO SAVE LAWYERS LIFE
tBy Associated PrAsa.l

I New York, Oct. t5.--Judqe ceoroe
r. Stackpole, prominent New York
lawyer, stricken with anthrax, died Of
heart failure today resulting from the
disease. Aio.s..
Every effort known to science was
made to save the life of the lawyer.
An injection of anthrax serum was
administered yesterday afternoon.
This injection was of 25 cubic CEN
timeters and was made in the pa
TENTS neck, the seat of the disease.
J. done " III Judge Stackpole
was ought BY DIR. H. II. silver and
Dr. A. Terrell to be sinking to
death. The patients temperature
had risen to 103 degrees and his
breathing had become more labored
and uncertain that it seemed he could
not last very long.
y While the serum was being pre-
pared for injection, John ID. Hender-
son, secretary to Dr. Eichorn of the
Bureau Of Animal Industry of the
Agricultural Department. who tiiscov-
cred the efficacious qualities OF the
serum said: "a win wager ten to
one in any amount that Judge Stack
pole survives. The second injection
Of the serum will be victorious. Twen-
ty-four hours was required to give
The serum its proper test and the
first injection was administered only
last night"
This morning, despite the heroic ef-
forts made, Judge StackpoIe died at
Bellevue hospital
The disease has always heretofore
proved fatal from within two to four
lays with other human beings whom
Il has attacked. In this instance the
victim fingered seven days after be-
ing infected with the dread disease.
Anthrax is an animal disease, u.s.
ially with cattle and sheep. 1t is in
he form Of malignant pustule, re-
'embling carbuncle. 1t may be
transmitted to man by inoculation.
When a human is infected the spleen
becomes greatly enlarged and filled
With bacteria.
It is fatal to humans, but animals
requently recover from 1t. Judge

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 15.--When do
pink stockings become a breach of
good taste and how long may hair
ribbon be and still remain in good
standing were some Of the points taken
up by Principal G. w. Henderson of
the Bryan school in an address to one
hundred mothers of the district. The
meeting, held in the auditorium of
the school, was the first of a series
inaugurated with the view of estab-
fishing a closer relationship between
the school and the home.
Reviewing problems which have de-
veloped during the month that school
has been in session, Mr. Henderson
said:
1.-THE greatest problem we have to
face is the child out Of school. We can
take care of the child in school, where
we have the organization and the ma
chinery for keeping him occupied and
interested.
ut is at home and ON the way be-
twee nhome and school that the girl
or boy becomes a problem. Much that
is detrimental is picked up on the
streets and to avoid this menace you
should allow one minute for each block
between your home and school and
see that the schedule is kept. Then
there will be no time for the child to
get into trouble.
Girls Are overdressed.
Dress up your boy more and your
girl less. There are grave reasons why
the girl should not wear huge hair
bow, low cut dress and a short
skirt exposing a white, pink or other
light colored stockings. She attracts
attention to herself at an
