three cars which carry lectures, exhibits
and movie machine, and suggestions for
the prevention of disease are widely cir

learn, and in some communities visited

guarding of health, the state board has

probably appeal more forcibly to the
public than gatherings of the kind that

The Referendum in 1883.

Vermont adopted the prohibitory
law in 1853 and retained it for half
a century. Eight counties were in
favor of prohibition back in those
days, Addison, Bennington, Caledon-
ia, Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle,
Washington, and Rutland. Windham
county gave the largest majority
against the law and Rutland the

in favor of prohibition, the following
being among those which voted that
way: Middlebury. Rutland, Benning-
ton. ST. Johnsbury, Montpelier, Brat
tleboro and Burlington. The vote by

After a delightful selection by the
Woman's club chorus, Mrs. Minnie
Tolman, chairman of the Social Sci
ence committee. presented Prof. Lam
bert of Middlebury college, who spoke
most earnestly on Modern Science in
it's Relation to Public Welfare" Prof
Lambert said a modern scientist had
two reasons for his work, namely to
obtain truth for truths, sake, and also
the desire to make the world a little
better and a little safer place to live
in. In his plea for the theorist, he
showed how the practical man was de-
pendent on the theorist, for it is ne
cessary that truth be found before it
can be applied. He took his audience
over the pathway by which men have
found out things to prevent diseases,
giving the story of experiments in NAL
aria and yellow fever, which have
been invaluable in the checking of
these evils. The charts illustrating
certain phases of public welfare were
most Illuminating and interesting.
Following the address Mrs. Susan
Smith gave notice of a proposed
change in the bylaws in regard to
membership dues. Mrs. Hovey an
nounced that a committee of five had

AND F|REMEN
STILL BARRED BY PACKERS

Engineers and Firemen are still
barred by the packers. Although the
scale was signed for the Butchers.
the packets did not sign for the En-
gineers and Firemen. The only plant
employing union engineers and fire
men is Kalbitzer's, where the scale
was signed and union men employed
before the strike. At Reymann's,
wheer the engineers and firemen were
union before the strike, they have not
been taken back. At Schenk's the
engine room was non-union before
the strike and is still in the same
condition.
The matter was brought up in the
Trades Assembly at the last meeting,
and the arbitration committee in
structed to go to work on the case,
but up until the present no change in
the situation has resulted. The COM
mittee will report at the meeting OF
the Assembly next Sunday, and ac-
ton will be taken by that body.

M0torman Killed;
Engine-car Wreck

James King, motorman, was killed
and several injured Tuesday night,
when Wheeling Traction car,
bound from Bellaire to Wheeling, was
struck at Mertz crossing, below West
Wheeling, by Pennsylvania engine
running light. W. C.. Stewart, former
ly of Bellaire, now Cleveland manu-
facturer, though still connected with
the Bellaire enamel business. died.
The others will recover.
Investigations are being conducted
by the Wheeling Traction and Penn.
sylvania companies, by Coroner Roger
and by the Ohio Public Service Com
mission.
Conductor Davis states that he did
not see the approaching engine in the
sleet storm that then reigned until
too late to stop the motorman, and
Engineer Root, for the same reason;
did not see the car. The front vesti-
bule was smashed and the car thrown
against the hillside. 1t Is evident
that both the motorman and engineer
tried to stop, but that slippery rails
prevented.
Motorman King was. buried Friday
morning at Cameron, the family home
