Eggs are selling at 40 and AZ cents
and the indications are that the price
will advance slowly but steadily. The
wholesalers have fixed their contract
price for packed eggs at AZ cents for
next winter. The contract price a
year ago was 20 cents.
Old onions are out of the market
but the Berniudas are now coming in

London. May 10.-The sanguinary
battle between the British and the
Germans for possession of the village
of Fresnoy goes on apparently with
out abatement. II is a battle of des-
peration on the part of the Germans,

double menace-the placing in jeo-

On the other hand the German Of

have taken 100 prisoners. In making
this claim, however. the usual details

statement of the German war Office
Wednesday saw a return of unfav-
orable weather along the Anglo-Ger-

the fighting was mainly by the arti-

counter-attacks and engaging in artil

where the infantry left the trenches,

NARAMORE TRAGEDY
Case Much Discussed in Local Suf-
fraue Circles.


Some discussion has been aroused
in Bennington over a statement made
by one of the women who addressed
an audience here in behalf of equal SUI
frage She asserted that.
The passage of the equal guardian
ship law in Massachusetts was due in
large measure to the Naramore trag-
edy. A young mother killed her six
children rather than be parted from
them. The suffragists had been
working in vain for more than half a
century to change the old law, which
gave the husband sole control of the
children so long as he lived with his
wife. Mrs. Naramore's case aroused
so much sympathy and indignation
that the bill finally went through.
\ full account of the case and the
events leading up to il was given by
the Rev. Charles H. Talmage in the
Boston Herald of April 10. 1901
The files of the Herald can be CON
suited at the Boston Public Library
by any one wishing to verify these
points. Mr.. Talmage calls his account
"a calm statement of all the essential
facts in the case" mentions that he
has taken sufficient time for patient
and unprejudiced investigations" and
says: I'VE shall not rely or our
evidence upon rumors. but upon
abundantly substantial facts"

say they will force many newspapers
out of business. Already protests
against many features of the law are
pouring in. and attacks upon it will
center in the senate finance committee
which will conduct public hearings on
it and probably make some amend
meuts.
