Train Hits Engine

The local passenger train which leaves Andover aj 6,30 pjn, collided last night with a locomotive at Low- ell Junction and several of the passengers were injured. The injuries were in' most cases slight the most serious being those of J. W. Wheatley of Ballardvale, who was taker, to the Lowell hospital suffering from a severe scalp wound.

This train which is ran especially to accommodate students of the Low- ell Textile School left Andover as usual at 6.30 and when going around the curve at Lowell Junction, which runs from the main track to the Low- ell division, collided with an engine which was backing off the turn-table. Both engines were piled up, but none of the three passenger cars were de- railed. The track was blocked for several hours..

E. J. Nichols, fireman of the Lowell train, had a unique escape. He jumped from the engine csb flUf landed on a barbed wire fence, stuping with a few bad scratches. A number of An- dover boys, who are students at the Textile school, were on the train bat fortunately escaped without injury.

Fire at Haggetts Pond

An alarm from box 52 called the fire department to West Andover woods surrounding the summer home of B. Frank Smith on the shore of Haggetts pond. The fire destroyed a small log cabin, built 26 years ago by Mr. Smith and prised very highly. Sparks from an 'engine on the Boston & Maine road started the are which burned for over an hour before being discovered.

The fire department responded in short time making the trip of about three miles in 30 minutes. Four horses were used on the engine.

A large carriage shed and two dog bouses escaped, tjie fire, in a very remarkable manner, the fire burning all around them. The log cabin was the only building that was not in- sured.

ARTHUR BLISS, P.M.

Former Resident's Brave Act

The following from the Boston Post of last Sunday will interest many An- dover people who remember Mrs. Wears as a successful dancing teacher:

"The friends of Mrs. Charlotte Hutchinson Wears of Manchester, N. H, are pressing their claims for her recognition by the trustees of the Carnegie Hero Fund, as the result of her coolness in saving the lives of 200 school children in attendance at a dancing party a few days ago

A fire was discovered in the building by Mrs. Wears and without dis- playing any of the excitement under which she was laboring, she urged the children, to leaVOThe building quietly. That She acted in the nick of time is shown by the fact that no sooner had the last of the party reached a point of safety when there was a terrific explosion, which wrecked the dance hall and started a fire which gutted the building.

Mts. Wears Is the daughter of C. H. Hutchinson, a retired business man of Manchester."

"A Little Savage," is the title of the annual play to be given by the Punchard school, next Friday night in Punchard hall at 7.45. The play will be followed by a dance.

Copper Coating Steel

Electrical transmission of energy by the overhead system, whether for street railway, telephone, electric lighting or power purposes, requires the use of wire or cable of high conductivity in order to avoid heavy losses of power that would result from an attempt to overcome the resistance to the passage of the current in metal that are poor conductors. Copper is one of the best known conductors and possesses non-corrosive qualities that are valuable, but copper is expensive and lacks tensile strength. For economic reasons tensile strength is a most desirable quality in a metal used for line work, while low cost is, of course, of prime importance. Steel possesses both strength and cheapness, but is low in conductivity and rusts quickly when exposed to the elements.

Foreseeing the value of a combination of the desirable qualities of these two metals, inventors and met- allurgists have made various attempts to perfect a process of coating steel wire with copper.

Partial failures convinced a French metallurgist, J. Ferreol Monnot, that the two metals must be wedded together homogeneously, and he set to work on the problem. He finally achieved entirely satisfactory results by first cleaning a steel billet six inches in diameter and thirty-six inches long and then welding onto this at high temperature a thick coating of soft copper. The copper can be of any desired thickness to suit it to various commercial purposes. After receiving its copper coat, the billet is reheated and put through ordinary rolls such as are used in steel mills for rolling down steel or iron rods from large billets. The resultant wire, three-eights of an inch in diameter, is then sent to the drawing mills ond drawn into wire of any size down to No. 40 B. & S. gauge if desired. The copper and steel draw down equally and in the final product the copper coating is relatively the same as in the original billet, so that it is easy to determine before hand the precise proportion that the copper will bear to the steel and the actual thickness of the coat. The thickness 1s the same throughout the length of the wire and is also perfectly intact. —From New Process for Copper Coating Steel, in October Technical World Magazine.

Andover—Exeter Game

Tomorrow afternoon on Brothers field the Phillips Andover and Phillips Exeter football teams meet for their annual game, the leading interscholastic event in New England sports. Great interest is always taken in this game and tomorrow a larger crowd than usual is expected to witness the contest, for the demand for tickets has been so great that two new stands have been erected. These stands are on the eastern end of the Exeter side of the field and will have a seating capacity of 144 seats each.

A comparison of the two teams would appear to give Andover a -slight preference. To judge from the scores of the games where both An- dover and Exeter have met the same teams is to pick the blue as the probable winner.

Exeter was defeated by the Prince- ton Freshmen 12 to 10 and Andover won from the same team 6 to o. The Harvard 1012 team defeated Exeter 6 to o and played a no score game with the Andover team, so that comparative scores seem to favor An- dover. However, early scores count for little and the game tomorrow will be hard, fast, and interesting as these games always are. Both teams are in good shape, and both have had capable coaching and good fortune in having few injured men.

The officials will be: Joseph B. Pendleton of Bowdoin, referee; Mr. Langford of Trinity, umpire; E. K. gall of Dartmouth, a member of the

tercollegiatc rules committee, field judge; and James Donnelly of Dart- mouth, head linesman.

The probable line-up: ANDOVER - EXETEH Coates, le. re. Lennox, Falkner Pierce, It. rt. Mitchell T. Fletcher, Ig. rg. Cooney Large, c. c. Downing Potter, rg. Ig. Bluethenthal P.

Neither team was able to score in the football game between Punchard and Methuen on the playstead last Friday. It was a great disappointment to the local boys inasmuch as victory meant the possession of the league cup Which has been won the last two seasons by Punchard. The teams meet again on Thanksgiving Day, and an interesting game can be expected.

The game was played on a wet field and the slippery ball lost Pun- chard's best opportunity to score when Liridsay ran 80 yards and dropped the ball after he had eluded the last Methuen tackier. The Methuen

COOK A CO., Fitzgerald, ca.

TtfTJMI** Republicans terry lew York,

Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Nebraska.

New York, Nov. 4.—The next Presi- lent of the United States will be Will- lam Howard Tuft, Republican, of Ohio. The next vice president will be James Schoolvraft Sherman, Repub- lican, of New York.

This Is the verdict returned by tilt majority of the 10.UOU.000 voters of the United States. The Republican candidate has repeated Mr. Roosevelt's feat of carrying every northern state, giving him a clear majority la the Sectoral college of 141 over William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic candidate. Mr. Tatt will receive îS electoral votes to Mr. Bryan's 171. Okla- homa, the state created since the last presidential election, has enrolled Itself, as was expected, In the Democratic column.

Thestates considered doubtful before the election have gone as follows: Maryland, Republican; Indiana, Repub- lican; Nebraska, Republican; New York, Republican; Ohio, Republican; and West Virginia, Republican. In most of these states the vote Is close.

Pennsylvania has gone Republican by 900,000 majority and New Jersey by 10,000. the flgures In ISM being 600,- 510 and 80,698 respectively. Connecti- cut Is Repobllcsn save In a few cities and towns, but Congressman George L. Lllley, the Republican candidate for governor, ran behind *Mr. Taft. His majority is 10,000, whereas the Republi- can presidential candidate has carried the state by 20,000. This Is below Mr. Roosevelt's figure In 1904. and the same thing la true of practically every state In (he Union that has beep carried by hath Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft.

The lower house of the Sixty-first congress will be Republican, but by a reduced majority. With returns from some districts still In doubt and others contested It appears now that tbe house will remain safely Republican. The senate will remain Republican. Speaker Cannon has won his tight for re-election, but by a reduced majority.

Most of the great cities of the conn- try have gone Republican, with the exception of New York and Chicago. In (neb Qf these cases, however, the rural Republican majority has been sufficiently large to offset the Democratic urban vote. St. 1-ouls has gone Repub- lican, while tbe rest of Missouri is heavily Democratic.

Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the great central states, with an aggregate of sixty five electoral votes. Have gone Republican despite the fight made to bring them into the Democratic column. The success of Mr. Taft In these states, considered vitally necessary to his election, baa carried with it the success of tbe Republican state tickets. Governor Deneen In Illinois and Gov- ernor Harris In Ohio, Republican candidates for re-election, retain their seats, and Copgressman Watson will succeed J. Frank Hanly In Indiana. Republican hopes of carrying Ken- tucky proved vain In spite of tie vie tory of Wlllson, Republican, In the gubernatorial contest last year. Tbe greater part of the state's congressional delegation will be Democrats.

Tbe Pacific coast states, California, Washington and Oregon, have given their votes to the Republican candidate, but Nevada, which voted against Parker In 1001, gave its votes this year to Bryan. Montana, tbe bakotas and Minnesota are again Republican, but Governor Johnson's personal popular try has sufficed to seat htm again In the gubernatorial chair of the North Star State. Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and in fact the entire west and northwest are Republican, but, as noted above, by lowered majorities.

The "solid south" Is still solidly Dem- ocratic, Mr. Bryan polling the nsnsl large majorities. Only In Maryland has the Republican party made serious Inroads on the Democratic vote, and la that state not sufficiently to change the result Delaware, about which some doubt was expressed before the election, has gone Republican. The New England states have gone for Taft and hare elected Republican governors, but the vote in Abode Island, where the Democrats made a strong fight. Is very close. In Massachusetts the Independence pasty candidate for governor made a poor showing, running fsr behind the vote of Thomas L. Hlagen last year.

New York city has been carried by Bryan and Chanler, the Democratic candidates for president and governor winning In all five boroughs. Of the city's 680,000 votes Mr. Bryan has received 3ffu\60O and Mr. Chanler 400,000. The gures for tbe entire state are as follows: Taft. 880.000; Bryan, 790,000; Hughes, 816,250: Chanler. 804,750.

The electoral vote Is ss follows: Bryan. Taft

THE tjIPlBE STATE Hughe, Wins by Mor, 1>an 60,000

Over Hie Democratic Opponent New York, Nov. 4.—Governor Hughes

won by over 50,000 tbe biennial battle of High Bridge which was waged again as the regiments of ballots were mar- aoalle*.

Hughes came down to the city from up-state with an Indicated plurality of about 121,000. Chanter's plurality south of High Bridge was approximately 08,- 000. The vote of two yean ago was Increased by about 140,000. Chanler surprised the Democratic leaders by an •xpectedly large rote In the rural districts, but lost tremendously In the city and county qf New York, where his followers had expected at least 100,000 plurality.

Reports from all parts of the state Indicate that the vote waa heavy, the efforts of both gubernatorial candidates to bring obt the ballots being rewarded with success. Both the old parties polled full rotes, their strength not being seriously affected by the In- dependence, Socialist and other minor parties. Shearn, Independence party candidate for governor, ran ahead of Wanhope, file Soclsllst nominee. . The, state's congressional representation will be divided, as at present, among tb» two parties, with one change. Hlllqult, Socialist, being elected in the Ninth district In place of Rlordan. Democrat. The next legislature will be Republican In both branches. Insuring a Republican successor for Senator Thomas O. Platt. who will leave the senate In March.

New York and Buffalo are the only two large cities of the state that have gone Democratic.

"I need not say that I am greatly pleased with the result of tbe election/' declared Governor Hughes. "I felt certain that the people wonld Indorse the administration of President Roose- velt by electing Secretary Taft, and I consider my own re-election as sn approval of the policies pursued by the stste administration during tbe past two years."

IN NEW ENGLAND Draper, Quinby, Pothier and Lllley

Carry Their State. Boston, Nov. 4— The Republicans

won the Massachusetts election, sending sixteen Taft votes to the electoral college, placing Lieutenant Governor Kben S. Draper In the gubernatorial chair, choosing the balance of the state ticket, re-electing all the present con- gressmen and retaining firm contra, of both branches of the legislature.

Taft and Sherman carried tbe stste by 100,000 snd Draper defeated James H. Vahey, tbe Democratic leader, by about 76,000. Roosevelt's plurality in Massachusetts four years ago was 02,- 078. The Republican state ticket elected waa as follows:

Governor, Eben 8. Draper, Hopedale; lieutenant governor, Louis A. Frotbing- ham, Boston; secretary of stste, Will- iam M. Oliu, Boston; treasurer, Arthur D. Cbapln, Holyoke; auditor, Henry E. Turner, Maiden; attorney general, Dana Malone. Greenfield.

The voting, despite the short and somewhat listless campaign, exceeded expectations, especially In the towns. An Ideal antumn day undoubtedly was a contributing factor, tbe voters evidently having thoroughly familiarized themselves with the issues and flocked to the polls in large numbers.

The size of the vote for Vahey was a feature of the election. Assuming the leadership of a party that bad scarcely recovered from the turmoil and schism of last year's Springfield convention, and with scarcely any campaign fund, Vahey succeeded In drawing to hla support 160,000 voters, nearly double the number who favored tbe party candidate a year ago. Vabey proved far more popular among tbe party followers than Mr. Bryan, and led the presidential nominee In nearly every community In the state.

Despite the fact that Mr. Hlsgen. the presidential nominee of tbe Inde- pendence League, was a native of Mas- sachusetts and received last year, when candidate for governor, over 75,000 votes, the support of the new party

IB national poiirtcs In Massachusetts was very meagre, polling scarcely more than 20.00*.

Taft and Bryan'had s hot fight In Bos- ton and for a long time ran neck and Beck, due to the heavy registration in pie Republlcsn wards and a comparatively light vote In the Democratic districts. Four years ago Parker car- Bled the city by nearly 10,000 over Roosevelt. This year the margin between the presidential candidates was • matter of • few hundred votes. Taft •lao ran well in other cities of the state where the voting was unusually heavy

There were few contests In the con gresslonal districts, the closest being In those which hsve been represented by Democrats Soring the past six years.

Connect cut H«]r Haven, Nov. 4.—yhe great size

of tbe Republican victory in Connecti- cut waa evident this monstag when William H. Taft was found to have a plurality which will be greater than that given to President Roosevelt tour years ago. The plurality Is 38,460. Bis vote hi 111,680, as against 73,149 lor

. Debs polled 2804 votes anil , the Prohibitionist, 2280.,

The plurality for Mr. Lllley, against whom s great fight was waged, was !«.- 004 over Judge A. Heaton Robertson,

Vc'an^l'nseifeWfo the legistathre* In the senate Senator Donovan, Dem- ocrat, was defeated In Xorwalk by Mr. Sllilman.

New Mamp.hire Concord, N. IT., Nov. 4.—The returns

from New Hampahlre this morning comprise barely one-half of the state on an estimated vote approximating sr>,- 000, but they plainly foreshadow that tbe state baa duplicated the tremendous vote of four years ago for Roosevelt snd gives Tsft Its electoral rote by about 18,000 plurality. ,, u

Tfte state ticket discloses Democratic gains, some over tbe vote of two years ago, when there was no election by the people, and Henry p/. QliloSy, Repub- lican candidate for governor, baa won by a narrow margin. The larger cen ten are slow In returning their vote.

Vermont White River Junction, Vi. Nov. 4.—

Vermont remains strongly Republican, although by a smaller plurality than that which was given lo President Roosevelt la 1901. The Democrats, on the other hand, made substantial gains, the Bryan vote this year being about 18 percent greater than that given Par- ker in 1904.

The principal Democratic galna were made In thoae cities and towns where the labor rote Is a factor, such as Rut- land and Barre, where tbe great gran- Ite quarries are located. The Bryan gain, however, was not confined to anj one section, but was marked throughout the entire state, although in some localities it was much more pronounced than In others.

There had been no campaign conducted In the state by either party, and the voters were extreme!} apathetic Only presidential electors were chosen

Rhode Island Providence, Nov. 4.—The returns In

dlcate that the entire state ticket of the Republicans is elected snd that the legislative vote will show substantial Republican gains lq both houses Pothier Is elected governor. In the First congressional district the contest between Sheffield, Republican, and Granger, Democrat, Is still undecided Of the thirty-eight Cities and towns In the stste, fifteen voted for license snd eight voted no-license.

""t"t " Port|f nd. Me, Nov. 4 —Xaf t and Sherman were given a phu-ality of 82,- 000 In Maine out of a total rote for the two leading parties of 103,000. Bryan's rote was estimated at S5.725, 'faffs 07,203. The vote of both parties was below the average of tbe past thirty six years, while the plurality was about 8000 in excess of the average.

jWasftlrurtoa, Nov. fcj-jSostoa owners are again aggrieved by sn I leged action of the navy department in chartering British steamers to transport coal from the United States to Guan- tauauio. One Boston ttriu has written tne-president protesting against the non-employment of American ships for (hla purpose, and the letter has been referred to the navy department- Sec- retary New berry has made reply, and this particular incident I* closed as far as the government la concerned.

She question of American versus foreign ships for the carriage of government stores Is an old one. It has been before one department or another, usually the navy department, a great many times. None of toe nhdjajHua facts appear to have changed, however; neither Is there prospect of Improving the situation, Judging by the lateBt In- formation the nary department has upon it.

The plain fact Is that American ship owners cannot or will not offer trans portatlou at rates anywhere near aa low •f <bose of toah- foreign Urale. on various desks in toe navy department today are bids from shipowners of all nationalities, and invariably tbe Atn- irlcau figure la so. high teat tbe navy.

lepartment could not accept It without tying Itself open to severe criticism,.

For example, bids have been asked for the transportation of coal to various points in the Pacific ocean. Brit- ish, Norwegian, German and other line* offer a rate of $4.25 a ton or a little more. The lowest rate of any Amer (can steamship company Is $7.25. To Close wUh sn American concern for, gay, a 8000-toq cargo, would be to make a bold present of $27,000 to the Amer lean llue*

Not only would such a contract practically constitute a ship subsidy, sgsinst which a very large element of-the tax- paying community would protest, but it would be a violation of the simplest of business principles. In the view of tbe navy department such s contract would be indefensible before the country. President Roosevelt and other executive officers of the government recog- nise the desirability of favoring tht American merchant marine, and would be glad if they could learn of any legitimate way in which to do so.

The situation I* a delicate one. The enemies of ship subsidy, or even of sn extension of the present limited "system of postal subedy, war* powerful

fough In the last copgreas to prevent ft passage of the bill which Postmaster eral Meyer or**"1 In the Interest of

our foreign trade. The deciding votes over a measure like this come from the interior states, which are represented by men who, while strong protection lsts as far as the customs tariff is concerned, show a reluctancy to extend the benefits of that sysbjrn to the sea. Np presentation of facts has yet been able to overcome the objections- of con gressmen of this class, although the ocean mail bill came nearer success last year than ever before.

Tbe very liability of American lines to meet the competition of foreign ones, figuring as closely as they can. Is In It- self sn obstacle to governmental aid. The margin between tbe cost of operation of American and foreign ships Is so great that congress hesitates to cover it by legislation for fear ot placing an unbearable burden upon the business of tbe country.

A former president of tbe Boston Chamber of Commerce once suggested thnt the only business solution of the trob'em was to permit Americana to

ny foreign ships st their pleasure snd to map them as they pleased with foreigners, ssy Norwegians, pay foreign wsges snd feed the men according to the European scale.

No doubt the suggestion embodies the only business principle upon which the American merchant marine can ob tain It" share of the foreign carrying trad), without a resort to subsidy (or taxation); but It Is repugnant to the American sense of the proper way to maintain the shipping Industry and, moreover, would be In violation of existing Isw.

The problem Is too Important to remain quiet, and doubtless congress will be assailed with It until some solution Is rescued. The present episode supplies fresh evidence of the difficulty of making a new arrangement which will be fair and earned.

The Election

Andover set a new mark on Election Day when she polled over 80 per cent of her entire vote, exactly 1205 out of 1397 registering their choice for one or more of the offices to be filled.

The result of the National Election must be extremely gratifying to the great conservitate interests of the country. No man ever entered upon a campaign with better training or possessing stronger endorsements than did the Republican candidate. Representing the policies that have made the administration of President Roosevelt so popular with the people, he combined with that strength a reputation for conservative judgment, well balanced mind, and deliberation. The nation is most fortunate in its opportunity to command the services as its chief Executive of the Hon. Win. H. Taft, and his success at the polls demonstrates anew that the American voters seldom fail to show discrimination in picking high officials when great crises are at hand.

Mr. Draper's vote for Governor is a good one, but can hardly be considered as satisfactory. Nightly on the stump he has charged that his democratic opponent was a weak character, and other speakers and most of the press have ridiculed the aspira- tions of Mr. Vahey to be Governor.

In the light of all this Mr. Vabey commands the support of as large a democratic following as Massachu- setts has averaged to have in the past twenty years, and reduces the plurality of his Republican opponent more than fifty thousand from that received by the candidate for Presi- dent. The figures are significant, and indicate that while Massachusetts is a strong Republican state, her citizens have very positive convictions regarding many of the characteristics that have marked political campaigns in Massachusetts in the past three or four years. Notwithstanding this falling off in Mr. Draper's plurality, there is a general satisfaction in his election, and a universal desire on the part of the people that his first year's administration will make him such a Governor as to deserve, and receive further and more popular approval from Massachusetts voters. Of course his associates on the ticket were all elected with large majorities, as is customary in Massachusetts.

Coming nearer home there were no surprises except in connection with the contest for Representative. Many reasons have been suggested to ex- plain the small plurality received by the Republican candidate, and prob>- ably there is more or less point in each of'fhese suggestions. Not for a long time has the town known of such a hustle for office as that in which the Democratic candidate engaged. From early morning to late at night Mr. Burns was out asking, from Repub- licans and Democrats alike, a "com- plimentary vote". Such a vote was undoubtedly given him by very many Republicans who felt, as several expressed themselves, that "it was good to pay the compliment to a young man as popular and as deserving as Mr. Burns, as long as there was no danger of his election." It was, however, playing with political fire, as can now readily be seen, when a town which gives the candidate for Presi- dent a plurality of over 500, gives the candidate for Representative only 60. It is true also, that comparatively speaking, few of the people of Ando- ver knew Mr. McTernen. And while it is a fact that even fewer of them knew many of the candidates on the Republican ticket, yet gave them their most hearty support, the home candidate always suffers much more than the outsider through such a condition of things.

Mr. Burns has every reason to be proud of the flattering vote that he received. He has probably come nearer to an election than any Democrat ever will again in the strong Republican towa. of Andover. We have no other words to utter regarding the worth of Mr. McTernen. We have believed that he will represent the town faithfully and honorably, and a year from now he will be sure to have a higher standing .with a good many more people in Andover than he has to-day.

Editorial Cinders

Andover vs. Exeter to-morrow, and may the blue again wave above the red, as it has so frequently during the last twenty years. There are many contests to stir the blood and enthuse the public, but there are none to attract larger crowds, and give more entertainment per minute, than does a modern game of foot-ball when a college or school rivalry is the incen- tive to produce the player's best. Clean sport now controls our Ando- ver institution, and it is the cause of much satisfaction that the sound bodies which will be noted in tomorrow's contest represent a training where scholarship is counted hardly less than athletic prowess.

As John Underwood recently said, "Everything runs to fairs in Andover at the present time." And if there is a single person in the town who will not have his or her Christmas shopping done by the time the last one is passed by, it won't be because those who carry on the various church ba- zaars have not endeavored to supply all the needs. Reports from those held so far indicate most successful events, and we certainly trust that the Free Church fair which closes to-night will not fail to be practically a "high liner" so far as the work of catching pennies is concerned, for it deserves, and should receive, a generous patronage.

FREE CHURCH FAIR I*ar£e Attendance at the Opening Last

Might—Maar Attractive Sl.playa

The Free Church fair opened in the vestry of the church building yesterday with a gratifying attendance. The fair is conducted by the ladies of the church and the profits will be used to reduce the small church debt. Much time and work has been spent in preparation for the fair, and the patronage last night shows that their efforts will be well rewarded.

The general color scheme of the decorations is green and white, evergreen being profusely used. The tables and booths are arranged and dressed in attractive fashion, each table having its own particular colors. The new church building is admirably adapted for affairs of this kind, and a splendid general effect has been secured.

In the large vestry are all the booths and tables. The ladies' parlor .is arranged as a Japanese room and the art display occupies the pastor's study. Downstairs is the dining hall, shooting gallery and cloak room.

One of the very attractive features of the opening night was the supper which is served at a reasonable price. This feature of the fair was largely patronized last night.

During the evening music was furnished by Pearce's orchestra, and groups of songs were given by Mrs. Moore and Miss Carolyn Bunt.

The committees and attendants are as follows:

Fancy Work—Mrs. Derrah, Alice Leslie, Bertha Coutts, Annie Ander- son, Grace Leslie, Mrs. Charles Bald- win.

Flower—Annabel Richardson, Mar- tha Goff, Elizabeth Gordon, Bessie Cunningham, Fannie M. Angus.

Card of Thanks

Boston, Mass., Nov. 5, 1008. To the Citizens of Andover:

The writer wishes to take this occasion to extend to the people of Ando- ver his heartfelt thanks, and his deep appreciation for their loyal support in the contest for Representative.

The daily words of encouragement from so many good friends in both parties were a great help, and an in- centive to greater efforts.

JOSEPH L. BURNS.

The following letter has been received by Representative-elect An- drew McTernen:

Boston, Mass., Nov. 5, 1908. Mr. Andrew McTernen,

Andover, Mass. My dear Mr. McTernen:

I extend to you my heartiest congratulations on your election to the State Legislature.

Your nomination by the Republican party on September 22 in a field of so many strong opponents, is evidence of the high esteem in which you are held by the people of Andover.

Your election on November third to an office which any man might well feel honored in filling is further evidence of the confidence, of the trust the people have in you. That your work in the General Court may bring honor to you, and credit to the Town of Andover is my sincere heartfelt wish.

Sincerely yours, JOSEPH L. BURNS.

New Resevoir In Use

Last Sunday the pumps were put to work to fill the new resevoir on Pros- pect Hill, and at 11 o'clock on Mon- day forenoon the high pressure water service was started. Water is now furnished from this source on the following streets: Prospect Hill road, part of Holt street, Resevoir street, Hidden road, Highland road, Salem street, Bartlet street above Morton, and Main street above Chapel avenue.

Work on the resevoir and water service extensions was authorized by a town meeting held April 13 and work was started July 1 and completed October I. The dimensions of the resevoir are 61 feet in diameter at the bottom, 100 feet at high water mark and 109 feet across the top. The capacity is 504,563 gallons. The work was done by D. Linnehan and Sons of Prides Crossing.

New pumping machinery has been installed on Resevoir street at the approach to the old resevoir to pump from the old system into the Prospect Hill resevoir. This pumping plant consists of a 25 h.p. Mietz and Wei« oil engine direct connected by a friction clutch to a 10 x 10 triplex Deane pump. The capacity of the pump is 420 gallons per minute, but it will ordinarily be operated at the rate of 350 gallons a minute.

The increase in pressure secured by the installation of this high pressure service amounts to about 45 pounds and the water pressure on the hill and that at the square is now about the same.

The sale of reserved seat tickets for the Exeter game, which has been going on since last week Wednesday at the Andover Bookstore, will continue until II a.m. Saturday. The seats have had a large sale and there are comparatively few remaining, although two new stands containing 144 seats have been erected on the easterly end of the Exeter side of the field. The sale of reserved seat tickets will be continued at the field at 12.30. No tickets will be reserved after n o'clock. Whatever seats remain from those sent to Exeter will be put on sale as soon as received.

Last Night of Grange Fair

The Grange fair on last Friday night attracted many local people who. had been kept away on the previous night by the severe storm. The main hall was crowded and the various tables did a thriving business, especially the supper table, where the entire supply of eatables was exhausted. '

The hall was very prettily decorated upstairs and down with evergreen and colored streamers. E. W. Burtt and Burke Thornton composed a most efficient. decorating committee.

On both evenings very enjoyable musical selections were rendered. Miss Adams of the Haverhill Grange played the violin and was accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Burke Thornton of the Andover Grange.

The fair was one of the most successful in many years, and the members who worked so hard for its success feel fully repaid for their tireless efforts. During the evening a ton of coal, which was given to the Grange by Jerome W. Cross, was auctioned to George L. Averill.

Later in the evening the results of the several prize contests were announced as follows:

Cake, weight, 3 pounds, 8 ounces, Mrs. George Carter.

Sofa pillow (Grange Seal) donated by the Wilmington Grange. Beans in bottle 355, Mrs. S. A. Trauschke 353-

Sofa pillow on apron table. (Grange seal. Number of seeds in squash, 584. Nearest guess 561, Mrs. J. H. Playdon.

It isn't pleasant to record the loss of any one of the efficient workers in the Andover school department, and it is with great regret that the decision of Miss Hoar to leave for another field is noted. She has occupied the position of Music Teacher in An- dover for a number of years, and her work has been well done in this department of the Public Schools. She has made herself many friends in the town and the best wishes of the community are her's as she leaves for a new field.

ELECTION DAY IN ANDOVER Largest Vote la History of Town-Burn*

•nd MoTernen HtTC Close Contest

Almost ninety per cent, of the voters of Andover turned out last Tues- day and registered their choice of candidates for state and national officers. It was a large vote even for a presidential year, the factors aiding to bring it about being the splendid weather and the contest for representative.

The scenes about the polls were quiet the voters evidently being in no doubt concerning their choice of candidates. The friends of both candidates for the office of representative to the general court were busy in behalf of their men, and a sharp contest was waged all day for this office.

The polls opened at six o'clock and the warrant was read by the warden, W. A. Allen. The first to exereise his right was former chief of police, William L. Frye. During the morning hours the voting was steady and at noon 690 ballots had been deposited. Through the noon hour there was as usual the heaviest voting of any period of the day, 130 being registered. Vote 1000 was cast by James Soutar of Chestnut street.

At four oclock the rnotion was made by Nesbit G. Gleason and sec- onded by Barnett Rogers that the polls be declared closed at 4.30. At the close 1022 votes were registered and 183 had been cast in precinct 2, making the total vote 1205, the largest ballot ever cast in town.

The following officers served in precenct I:

W. A. Allen, warden; W. B. Cheever, deputy, warden; Daniel J. Moynihan, clerk; Daniel A. Collins, deputy clerk; Louis A. Dane, inspector; William J. Doherty, inspector; Timothy J. Mahoney, deputy inspector; George L. Averill, deputy inspector; Frank L. Cole, teller; Laurence J. Hannon, teller; David C. Leslie, counter; George W. Foster, counter, Michael T. Welch, counter; Patrick J. Dwane, counter.

The following were in charge of precinct 2:

Clester E. Matthews, warden; Willis B. Hodgkins, deputy warden; Owen F. Caffrey, clerk; Michael J. Flaherty, deputy clerk; C. Northey Marland, inspector; Martin McKeon, inspector; Henry W. Platt, deputy inspector; John S. Dearborn, deputy inspector.

The counting of the ballots required a much shorter time than usual this year as there were but few split ballots. The interest in the race for representative kept many on hand to hear the result. At five o'clock the results were received from precinct 2 and at five fifteen it was announced that Andrew McTernen had been elected, he having a majority of 60 votes over his opponent, Joseph L. Burns.

On the vote for the other offices it is seen that Andover is, as usual, a Republican stronghold, and all the Republican nominees received a strong vote here. Taft polled the heaviest individual vote with 797 ballots and Draper for Governor ran behind him 125 votes. An almost uniform vote was given all the other candidates.

More Automobile risen

On last Saturday morning, Nicholas Madden, a chauffeur in the employ of H. E. Gale of Haverhill appesared before Judge Colver J. Stone 'to answer to the charge of over-speeding his automobile on Main street on Saturday, October 17. Mr. Madden was represented by Attorney Thomas R. P. Gibb of Boston who entered a plea, of not guilty for his client. Mr. Madden and officers David M. May and Joseph Myerscough were then sworn as witnesses. The two latter testified that they were operating the trap on Main street, between Locke and Morton streets. Officer May giving the signal and Officer Myerscough taking the time.

The former testified that the car driven by Madden entered the trap at Morton street without blowing the horn. Officer Myerscough said that from the time he received the signal to the time the machine passed his mark 23 seconds had elapsed which made the speed of the defendant's machine average 19 miles and a half an hour.

Mr. Madden was then called and testified that he had driven his machine for five years and that he had never been held up before or even warned. He said that he came down the hill with his engine shut off and his foot was on the brake. He claimed that he slowed up in crossing Mor- ton street and after passing he re- leased the brake and coasted toward the square. ,There was nothing in the street, he said, which indicated that it was dangerous and he thought he was well within the bounds of the law. He said that he had been a coachman in town for almost two years and knew the streets very well.

Attorney Gibb made a strong plea for his client, bringing out the character of the man and his carefulness as a' driver.

Attorney Daniel Murphy, who conducted the case for the state urged that sentance be imposed as in previous cases. He thought that the trap was located in the most dangerous place in Andover and if one was acquitted others would be more careless and increase their speed here.

Judge Stone then imposed a fine of $15. Attorney Gibb appealed and Mr. Madden was ordered to appear at a session of Superior court in Salem on next week.

G. R. Wallace was then called for over-speeding and Attorney Gibb entered a plea of nolo contendre. He was ordered to pay a fine of $15.

Earning a Plaid Cloak

At colleges and boarding-schools all over the country, girls are trying to replenish their slender purses by shampooing, darning, boot-blacking, tutoring, and other services. In one coeducational college a conspicuous sign announces, "Dogs valeted."

The strange entrances by which girls force a way into the wage-earning world are not novelties, any more than their warm hearts and large ambitions are. A charming and characteristic story is told by Mrs. Sarah (Stuart Robbins in her recent book, "Old Andover Days."

The tale dates back to the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Its hero was a certain flute-playing Ger- man "theologue," afterward a famous missionary. He was poor but fascinating, and four little girls loved him dearly. They wanted to buy him a cloak, for he had no protection against the keen Andover winter. They racked their brains for ways and means. They sold lamplighters. They made a patch-work quilt which brought them three dollars.

One day a pious and peculiar An- dover matron offered them twenty- five cents apiece if they would come every holiday afternoon for many weeks, and read aloud to her "Mason on Self-Knowledge." Moreover, if they would agree to let her "make remarks" to them on the book, she would increase their pay to fifty cents. So the four little maidens spent their long, precious afternoons with Mrs. Porter and Self-Knowl- edge," and earned by their sacrifice money for a long red plaid cloak, with a volumnious cape, fastened with a large gilt clasp; and this "gay plumage" decked out a theological student in Puritan Andover.

The girlish devices for earning wages a hundred years ago at least had the advantage of leaving their inventors no poorer in self-respect. One wonders if as much can be said for some of the modern schemes. Dollars may come too high, when they are sought greedily or sensa- tionally.—From the Youth's Compan- ion.

Lust evening 124 officers of the fleet were entertained at dinner by the Im- perial Chinese commissioners and the reception committee of Chinese. The menu was native.

Only A few natives turned out to witness the arrival of the battleships, com- posing as they do the strongest naval force that ever entered this port. Only 100 Chinese guests will be admitted to the grounds on which the celebrations are planned for the reception. Resent- ment at the severe measures taken to exclude Chinese from participation In the celebration la the cause of the apathy shown.

Worlo--Leaves Son and Daughters

Hew York, Nov. 1.—Mrs. William Astor, who for thirty years has been regarded as the social leader of New York, died last night of heart disease at her home In Fifth avenue. For nearly four weeks Mrs. Astor. who was tti years old. had been in a critical condition, owing to the return of an affection Of the heart from which she suffered for a number of years. Only her remarkable vitality kept her alive.

Mrs. Orme Wilson, a daughter of Mrs. Astor, has been almost constantly at her mother's bedside for several days and was with her mother when she died. Mrs. Wilson has suffered a nervous breakdown as a result of her attendance upon her mother and is under the care 0/ the Astor family physician.

There 1B not a name in the social register that Is so well known from one end of the land to the other as that of Mrs. Astor. Despite her advancing years,' Mrs. Astor continued to hold her social domination up to a year ago. when her falling health compelled her to retire into comparative seclusion.

It waa In the summer of 1807 that Mrs. Astor's friends teamed of her ill- health. While she waa abroad last year her son, John Jacob Aator, made the announcement that Beechwood, Mrs. Astor's summer home at Newport, would not be opened and this led to the knowledge that Mrs. Astor was In poor health. Word came later from Mn. Astor while she was In Parts saying that she would open her Newport villa, and that she would make the season there one of the gayest In years.

This promise was not kept, however, for when she returned from abroad she broke down In Boston and had to tit brought to New York. She had re malned at her home here ever since. Four weeks ago the heart trouble returned in a more serious form than aver before and Dr. Flint was In dally attendance upon her. A liiiltetln wan Issued yesterday that the society leader had spent a comfortable night but last night she grew rapidly worse snd her relatives were called to the bedside. Mrs. Astor passed peacefully away.

The society functions given and presided over by Mrs. Astor have gone down Into history as the most brilliant .on record In America. It Is said that the ballroom In the mansion on Fifth avenue would accommodate 1000 people. It was Mrs. Astor who established the famous "400," her visiting list being confined to,thot number, of names. In 1805, however, she was said to have "let down the bars" when ahe invited 1200 persons to one of the most memor- able social events ever given in New York. Mrs. Astor received her guests at these gatherings seated In a high backed chair beneath a portrait of herself. The Astor jewels were worn by Mrs. Astor on these occasions. It is said the Astor emeralds are the finest In the world.

William Astor, who died In Paris In 1882, took little part in the social activities his wife enjoyed. Mrs. Astor was Miss Caroline Schermerhorn, a daughter of a well-to-do merchant. She was married to William Astor on Sept 23. 1853. John Jacob Astor was their only son. There were four daughters, two of whom, Mrs. Ogilvie Halg and Mrs. Orme Wilson, are now living. The eld- est daughter. Miss Emily Astor, who married J. J. Van Alien, died some years ago, as did Miss Helen Astor, who married James Roosevelt-Roose- velt.

Little Wonder, Who Carried Off the Blue Ribbon In 1840, Cost His Own- er Only $325— The Successes Of Vol- tlgeur and Thormanby.

Stories of Derby winners having been sold as youngsters for exceedingly small sums are fairly numerous, and without going too far back Into the recesses of the past at least two Instances cap be cited of animals des- tined ultimately to win the "blue ribbon of the turf' which aa yearlings no one thought good enough to buy. Voltlgeur was one of these, and the other waa Thormanby.

Voltlgeur waa bred by Robert Ste- phen/iou in 1847 and aa a yearling waa sent up to be sold at the Doncaster sales, a reserve price of $1,750 being placed on him. Not a man waa found to bid that much for him; consequently he WAS withdrawn.

In ail probability he would have remained unsold had Bat Williamson, A relative by marriage of Lord Zetland, aeen him and, having taken a fancy to him, .finally persuaded his lordship to buy him.

His Judgment waa triumphantly vin- dicated, for not only did Voltlgeur win the Derby and St. Leger, but he succeeded in establishing a line of thor- oughbreds which Is at present domi- nant on the English turf and likely to remain so for some time to come.

Thormanby, too, waa sent up to be disposed at the Doncaater and, like Voltlgeur, did not reach a nominal reserve. Desirous of getting rid of him, however, I'lummer. his breeder, requested his famous trainer, Matt Daw- son, to come and have a thorough look at trim.

This Duwson did and, perceiving at A glance good points about him, wbicb no one else apparently bad noticed, nought him for Merry, his patron. Strange enough, Dawson gave the aame figure for Thormanby as that paid for Voltlgeur.

Aa a two-year-old Thormanby ran fourteen times and out of this number scored nine wins, and In the Derby of the following year he beat a field of thirty. It was said that the race net- ted Merry the nice sum of $200,000.

The cheapest horse that ever won the Derby was Little Wonder, which was successful In 1840, for he cost his owner, Robertson, the meager sum of only $825.

Spaniel, too, winner of the race In 1831, was picked up for A very small sum. Lord Kgcrton. his breeder, letting him go for $750.

Pyrrbus J.. which won In 1846, was purchased by John Day, the noted trainer, as a yearling at Doncaster, Gully, the pugilist taking a half In- terest In him.

As a two-year-old the home never ran, and seemingly his abilities were then of an unknown quantity, for at the end of the season Day agreed to sell his half share In him to Gully for $500. Day's chagrin at his subsequent victory In the Derby was" very great

Teddlngton. the winner of 1851, was bred by a blacksmith, who sold him aa a foal, together with bis dam, to Sir Joseph Hawley for $i,2r>n and a further $5,000 if he won the Derby ^

Sir Joseph and his confederate. Mas- Bey Stanhope, to whom the horse really belonged, profited largely over the success, and the Jockey. Mnrson, who rode the horse, received $10,000 as a token of victory, which In those daya was unprecedented.

Sainfoin, which carried the colors of Sir James Miller to the frost waa an exceptionally fortunate purchase by John Porter, the trainer. He bought the colt out of the Hampton Court lot of yearlings In 1888 for the very res- aonable price of $2,720, Sir Robert Dar- Jinc taking a half Interest In blm.

As a two-year-old be was aeen only once In public, and he won bis race with the greatest ease. The year following he won the Esher stakes In a canter, after which he waa sold to Sir James Miller for $30,000 and a con- tingency of half the stakes If be won the Derby. It was Indeed a profitable deal for Porter and Sir Robert

Another instance of Porter's shrewd- ness as a horse dealer waa his purchase of the great horse Isonomy for the bagatelle figure, comparatively •peaking, of $i,soo. The real owner waa Fred Gretton.

Isonomy gave no real promise of bis worth as a two-year-old, his only victory being a uursery atake In the latter part of the season. As a three- year-old he was not seen in public until the Cambridgeshire, which he won easily by two lengths and incidentally earned no leas than $200,000 In bets for his owner.

Had he been In the classic races he would In all probability have cleaned the board.

As a four-year-old he won the gold rap at Aaaot and the Goodwood and Brighton eups and crowned these feats by literally running away with the Great Ebor handicap, carrying the trashing weight of 186 pounds.

The following year Isonomy proved himself a better horse than aver, not *nljr winning the Ascot goW enp again, tut also the Manchester cap with the almost Impossible burden, one would think, of 138 pounds.

It has been calculated that altogeth-. •r Isonomy won for his owner upward of $500,000 In stakes and bets, which for an $1,800 investment waa a colossal profit—Brooklyn Eagle.

Laws on the use of Water

The National Conservation Com- mission is compiling for publication in a single volume all the laws and court decisions, both State and Fed- eral, which relate to the use of water in the United States. This manual will be of immense practical value and it is somewhat remarkable, considering the wide number of interests which are touched by these laws, that no such compilation has been made before this. With the constantly growing demand for inter-State waterways, the increasing utilization of water power for the development of electricity, and the widening areas of semiarid Western plains that are being made arable through irrigation, these laws at the present time affect the interests of a wale variety of individuals and corporations, and in the immediate future the number whose business is directly touched will beyond doubt be greatly increased.

The work which the National Con- servation Commission is doing along this line is extremely thorough ?-nd the compilation will be complete. It will include all State and National statutes and all court decisions which concern water rights and kindred questions on both navigable and non- navigable streams and lakes. The citations will include all acts which relate to riparian rights, and public usufruct of water, and all statutes which concern mills, pollution of water, interference with navigation qr the use of streams for power, dam- ming of streams, diverting stream- flow, and so on—in short, all acts which affect the use of waters and their private appropriation to power or other purposes. In the book will be included also some authoritative discussion of the principles involved in these laws.

The National Conservation .Com- mission in its endeavor to make the compilation absolutely complete and accurate has called upon the Govern- ors of all the States for assistance and the replies in every instance have promised support. Considerably more than half the States have already appointed State Conservation Commis- sions for the specific purpose of co-operating with the National Commission in its work of gathering the material which will be embodied in the report to the President the first of the year. In the other States the State officials whose work most nearly touches this project are at work.

A single volume containing all the laws which bear upon the use of waters in the various parts of the country, will be an exceedingly useful reference handbook. It holds possibilities of an even greater usefulness in that it will exhibit within limits that make ready comparison possible, not only the general tendencies of the laws and decisions on this subject, but the discrepancies that exist between the regulations of different States.

The fear is frequently expressed that the tendency towards monopo- lization of water power, which has already made very great progress in some parts of the country, will result in practically all of this extremely valuable natural resource passing from the people as a whole into the hands of comparatively a few men, with resulting higher cost of water power and water-developed electricity to consumers and a tremendous advantage to the few possessors. If this danger is justified by the present laws, it is a matter of great importance to make this fact apparent at once For this purpose nothing could be more effective than such a presentation of all the laws on the subject as that which the Commission is preparing.

Art Works That Mimic Life

The newest | automata, which not only counterfeit life in their actions, but also speak, will be seen before long in this country—imported from Paris, which is the manufacturing center for all such ingenious contrivances.

It is safe to say that nothing in the world, exhibited in a shop window, attracts attention so quickly as a "show piece"—the name by which automata are known in trade. Thus it happens that many of them are used in this country for advertising purposes, inyariably engaging the eager interest of crowds which gather to gaze upon them. Counterfeiting life with a cleverness that is often ilttle short of marvelous, and actuatetd by mechanism artfully concealed, they appeal both to curiosity and to the appetite for the mysterious which is latent in every human breast.

To.lend the automaton a voice, by the help of a phonograph, is a matter simple enough. The real marvel of these contrivances lies in the ingenuity employed to give them such lifelike movement; and the simplicity of the mechanism used does but add to the wonder of it. They might be regarded as representing an ulti- mate stage in the development of the mechanical toy, inasmuch as not a few toys nowadays are to all intents and purposes automata—as, for example, the walking doll—and the plaything which has become seemingly animate is raised to the highest imaginable power.—From Art Works That Mimic Life, October Technical

Timber Supply of United

"We are now cutting timber from the forests of the United States at a rate of 500 feet board measure a year for every man, woman, and child. In Europe they use only. 60 board feet."

Few statements could be made which would better convince the average man that this country leads the world in the demand for timber. It is made by Treadwell Cleveland, Jr., in a circular which treats of the conservation of the forests, soil, water, and all the other great natural resources, which has just been published by .the United States Forest Service. consumptiyi try, Mr. Cleveland says:

"At this rate, in less than thirty years all our remaining virgin timber will be cut. Meantime, the forests which have been cut over are generally in a bad way for want of care; they will produce only inferior second growth. W,e are clearly over the verge of a timber famine.

"This is not due to necessity, for the forests are one of the renewable resources. Righty used, they go on producing crop after crop indefinite- ly. The countries of Europe know this, and Japan knows it; and their forests are becoming with time not less, but more, productive. We probably still possess sufficient forest land to grow wood enough at home to supply our own needs. If we are not blind, or willfully wasteful, we may yet preserve* our forest independence and, with it, the fourth of our great industries.

"Present wastes in lumber production are enormous. Take the case of yellow pine, which now heads the list in the volume of annual cut. In 1007 it is estimated tha,t only one-half of all the yellow pine cut during the |sp W»» M«ed, and that the other half, amounting to 8,000,000 cords, was wasted. Such waste is typical. Mr. R. A. Long, in his address on "Forest Conservation" at the Con- ference of Governors last spring, pointed out that 20 per cent, of the yellow pine was simply left in the woods—ja waste which represents the timber growing on 300,000 acres.

"The rest of the waste takes place at the ntill. Qf course, it wpuld never do to speak of the material rejected at the mill as waste unless this material could be turned to use by some better and more thorough form of utilization. But in many cases we know, and in many other cases We have excellent reason to believe, that most, if pot all, of this material could be used with profit. It is simply a question of intelligent investigation and, more than all, of having the will to economize.

"But there are other ways to conserve the forests besides cutting in half the present waste of forest products. The forests can be made to produce three or four times as rapidly as they do at present. This is true of both the virgin forests and the cut-over lands. Virgin forests arc often fylly stocked with first-class timber, but this stock has been laid in very slowly, on account of the wasteful competition which is carried on constantly between the rival trees, T"b«i, too, in the virgin forests there are very many trees which have reached maturity and stopped growing, and these occupy space which, if held by younger trees, would be laying in a new stock constantly. As regards the cut-over land, severe cutting, followed by fire, has checked growth so seriously that in most cases reproduction is both poor and slow, while in many other cases there is no true forest reproduction at all at present, and there is but little hope for the future."

SCIENCE AND HEALTH An Odd Uae for Bread

Perhaps the most novel use to which bread is put, says The Amer- ican Food Journal, may be seen in the (great factories of the Elgin Nat- ional Watch Company, at Elgin, III., where more than forty loaves of fresh bread are required each day. Super- intendent George E. Hunter, of the w*'eh factory, is quoted as saying:

There is no secret regarding the use of bread in this factory, and I am willing to tell all I can concerning it From the earliest times in the history of watchmaking, it has been the custom of watch-makers to reduce fresh bread to the form of dough This is done by steaming and kneading. They can use this dough for removing oil and chips that naturally adhere, in course of manufacture, to pieces as small as the parts of a watch. There are many parts of a watch, by the way, which are so small as to be barely visible to the naked eye. The oil is absorbed by the dough, and the chips stick to it. and there is no other known sub stance which can be used as a wiper without leaving some small particles attached to the thing wiped. This accounts for the continued use of bread dough in the watch-making in dustry. The Elgin National Watch Company uses something over forty two-pound loaves per day, or about 24.000 pounds a year."

This was the salvage of the fine 9,000-ton steamship "Mount Temple", valued at $500,000, at an outlay of only $12,000, after it had been abandoned as hopelessly lost. Indeed, after the vessel had been placed in dry dock it was found to be so fearfully battered and torn that the cost of repairs was estimated at more than half the value of the ship, so the owners wanted it condemned. The feat called for daring as well as ingenuity, for "there was nothing between us and Eng- land," as one of the men on the. job expressed it, which was his way of saying that the wreck was exposed to the full fury of the Atlantic.

At first glance there would seem to be no connection between wrecking and tunnel building, yet it was the expert use of the one thing that made the digging of the tunnels under the Hudson and East river possible that floated the "Mount Temple", and that one thing was compressed air. The achievement is all the more interesting because it was the second time the same men had saved a wreck by the same means after all the exped- ients known in the salvage business had been tried in vain.—From Com- pressed Air Saves Wrecks, in October Technical World Magazine.

The Battle of the Ballots It was a very peaceful "battle of

ballots" in Andover. A larger number of horses than usual dozed beside the granite hitching-posts on the west side of Main street. There was a gentle trickle of men towards the side door of the Town house. And that was about all there was to be seen. The guns were served out in the lower town halL They were in the shape of larger folders. Some of our citizen soldiers loaded these guns handily enough, then advanced quietly to the ballot-box, and dis- charged their guns into the waiting hand of Mr. Hannon. Other citizens were more confused by the number of officials standing or sitting about, and had to be taught how to fire by General W. A. Allen.

Nevertheless, it was a real battle. Modern battles have no need of loud- sounding guns or clouds of smoke. They are more modern and more determined, if the guns are noiseless and the powder smokeless. It was, in fact, a mighty battle in our national history which was fought on Tuesday. A greater or less degree of national righteousness and peace was at stake. To decide the issue, troops were engaged all over the country. This week some of us think that a great victory for righteousness was won, and some of us think that the good cause met with a great defeat. Those who read history fifty years from now will be able to tell more surely which is right about it.

Mr. Pierce's Paintings It was a quiet one-day procession

of voters into the town house. The week before, it had been a quiet one- week procession of Andoverians towards Mr. Pierce's pretty house on Morton street, to see his paintings. They went and came away, and came away having enjoyed, a very real pleasure.

Apart from Mr. Pierce's merits as an artist, he infuses into his work certain emotional traits which make them very attractive. His feeling for the beauty of nature, especially in her more pensive moods, is strong and delightful. Moreover, his attitude towards child-life is so appreciative and so tender that no spec- tator could miss it.

Mrs. Pierce's workmanship has the valuable quality of wearing well to the eye. He has BO much sympathy and so much professional dexterity that one feels that he could follow any artistic fashion of the day if he chose. He does not so choose, but follows his own way, with the result that his painting is direct and genuine. His skill is especially marked in depicting his well-loved firelight glows and shadows, vanishing sun- sets, tender light on (distant hills, and fleeting" mists.

The collection which Mr. Pierce exhibited last week was full of local interest. With his quick eye for the poetic and the picturesque, he showed us that Andover has beauty in spots where we do not always look for it. We expected a picture of the old railroad track, and were not disappointed but it was pleasant, too, to be taken by a beauty-loving acquaintance and shown the Marland Village mill-pond at sunset, Salem street half-obscured by burning leaves, the stone steps on the Seminary grounds, the May-day festival of last Spring, and so on, and so on.

I cannot close without referring to the portrait of Mr. Bachelder. It is thoroughly satisfactory, painted with much skill and sympathy.

"" BUCK FOX PELTS. Only About Five Skim Are S soured

Eaoh Year. In the estimation of trappers of the

Canadian northland as well as In the eyes of the nobility of Russia there Is tnly one king of beasts, the highly prised Mack fox. On an average five perfect pelts of this rare for bearer are brought down from the northland each year and In rare years as many as ten or twelve, though each year thousands of men make a living trap- sing and the yearly catch of foxsklns amounts to over 100.000 from Canada alone.

In ho way except In color does the black fox differ from the red fox, whose pelt sells for about |2, or from the gray fox, whose winter coat la rained at from $150 to $400. but whenever a hunter can secure a black fox and remove Its skis without marring the for be Is sure of receiving from $800 to $1,500 for his trophy. Not only ts every black fox pelt bought as soon as taken, but a dosen Russian noble- men hare paM agents traveling In North America all through the winter seeking eat remote hillside farms and abandoned logging camps where It is possible that a shy and elusive black fox may have been seen.

Within the last twenty years a number Of wealthy men who bare owned fenced game preserves have spent vast sums of money In buying foxes alive and tuning them loose within private lncloeurea. By *nd by ll may bt that some skilled or fortunate breeder will produce a black pup or perhaps a pair of black foxes may be captured alive, and from these a new breed of black foxes will arise and cans* a great panic among the men who hunt tor black foxes. Be who can wrest the secret of breeding black foxes from nature hi assured of riches past counting and can command the worshipful homage of the Russian nobility and aristocracy, who seem willing to sacrifice untold wealth for the pleasure of wearing overcoats ssade from the pelts of American Mack foiee.—Edmonton Cor.

Mr. George Harris, Jr.. at the Novem- ber Club

It is not likely that Andover will have again during the season of 1908- 09 so charming a concert as was.that in the November clubhouse on Mon- day. The small size of the room re- stricted the number of club guests, and that was a pity. If the crab had been able to secure a larger haH, they wouki have enabled themselves to extend th great pleasure which the concert gave to its hearers.

It implies no disrespect to Miss Lena Little's delightful singing to say that the audience came together mainly to hear Mr. Harris. They had known his father and mother in the familiar life of our small town, and they had known the young man when he was a boy in knickerbockers. Their interest in him was enlisted as a matter of course, and they were ready to be pleased with any singing, even if it were not great.

. This amiable attitude on the part of the audience gave way almost immediately to astonishment and delight. They found themselves listen- ing to the finest tenor singer that most of them had heard for many a day. Mr. Harris has a voice of great sweetness, range, and power. He sings with an excellent method, and besides that with delicate sympathy and—when it is needed—with fire. The audience soon forgot to be startled, and listened only with eager enjoyment. Each listener felt himself to have been especially favored in being there, and went home to show himself unusually nice and agreeable and pleasant and kind, at least, I suppose so.

Foot Ball Many of the Townsman's younger

readers wil go to bed tonight with football in their heads. Tomorrow will be the day of the season's most notable game.

Yet I think that a game which I saw last week will have been to me, when all is over, more notable still. It was played on the Playstead, a playstead bedrabbled with pools of water from one 'to six Inches deep. In addition, a chilly wfnd was abroad. The contending teams represented Punchnrd and Mcthuen high school It was a sad sight for fathers and mothers. I wonder at it, if no cases of pneumonia resulted. And ye*— and yet.—

GROWTH OF CARICATURE. John Law's Wild Schemes Gsve It a

Tremendous Impetus. Caricature ts nowadays one of the

principal methods of criticism. Mo movement can overreach the mark without eliciting dozens of work* Of art from caricaturists an over (his and all other countries.

This branch of criticism and attack dates far back, but the greatest Im- pulse It ever felt came from th* age of tremendous speculation, when, in 1710 and 1730. John Law was manipu- lating things financial In Franca Nev- er before had the financial world been so carried off ft* feet a* It was at that time. Members of the nobility were waiting for a chance to purchase share* In Law's schemes. Duchesses and ladles of high renown tried their most persuasive charms on Law In the attempt to get bold of shares. Men hired out their backs for writing desks, so great was the press of business In making contracts, and one hunchback la reputed to have made 100,000 franc* In this way In a few weeks. The French Went veritably mad over the schemes to become wealthy. Natural- ly the paper* of the time, especially those of Holland, caricatured the state of affairs. There were pictures <of all sort* caricaturing Law. the nobility. the schemes and everything connected with them.

It wss this tremendous amount of pictorial work that first directed the energies of William Hogarth in Lon- don In this direction. Caricaturing began to be used more and more In the political field, and soon afterward It caused the shelving of Robert Walpole from the English ministry Ever since then has caricaturing been one of the bitterest and most effectual methods of checking public men and their schemes.

Who was it said that the victorious soldiers of England were bred on the football erounds of Eton? The Duke of Wellington, I think.

And I think that I saw twenty-two plucky boys qualifying on the Playstead last week.

A National Necessity

Th* welfare of th* birds it a matter of great importance to you, reader, and to every man, woman and child alive to-day. Wei* the birds exter- minated it would mean to us, not merely a trifling inconvenience or the lost of dollars and cents, but want and famine, pestilence and death.

You know that many birds are decreasing in numbers and that the recent remarkable increase of destructive insects and other pests it attracting wide attention: but do you know that it is estimated that the birds in Massachusetts eat twenty-One thousand bushels of insect* a day, that the birds in Nebraska destroy one hundred and seventy carloads daily, that a single species of hawk saves the western farmers $57,600, annually by killing grasshoppers, that the tree sparrows of Iowa eat two and one third tons of weed seeds daily, and that our native sparrows ssve the farmers of the country $35, 000,000 annually by eating weed seeds, while they also save an immense loss by destroying insects? A vast sum might be saved if we could increase the number of birds by even one per cent., and this it easily possible.

Pests such as insects, field mice and weeds, increase wherever birds are depleted; the cost of raising grams, other food staffs, and domestic animals increase* in consequence and this causes an advance in the prices of the necessities of life. Higher taxes are imposed to sustain state or municipal work for the control of insect pests, and the poor find it hard to exist. ,

Always and everywhere the forces of animal and vegetable life spring into pernicious activity and swarm with destructive effect wherever their natural checks are removed. The ever-present danger of the increase of insects is shown by the investigations of Mr. W. L. McAtee of the United States Biological Survey. He made a careful, systematic, minute examination of the surface of small areas of woodland and meadow soil.

If the number of animal objects found on these treat will hold good on larger tracts etch acre of forest land contains 1,216,880 small forms of tnimal life, mostly insects or their eggs, and each acre of meadow land contains 13,654,710 such objects. Many of the insects eat others; but people who realize how fttt intectt increase when unchecked can readily imagine what would happen wer* such active, voracious eaters as the birds exter- minated.

• Some birds will eat their own weight of insects each day and the daily food of a full-fledged young rqbin equals sixteen feet of cater- pillars or earthworms.

Nevertheless the destruction of birds by men continues. Many species of birds have been exterm- inated, and many others are nearing extermination. The foreign portion of our population rapidly increasing is a serious menace to bird life.

"No doubt" you will say, "we should protect the birds"; but what are you doing to conserve them? Are vou making aa effort or spending a cent?

The National Association of Audu- bon Societies for the Protection of Wild Birds and Animal*, organized and endowed by practical business men and women, directed by altru- istic, unpaid executive officers is engaged in securing bird protective legislation and law enforcement. It is protecting the sea birdt and wild fowl on their breeding grounds on hun- dreds of islands along the coasts of the United States.

It is educating children and the people generally regarding the value of birds. Every one should consider it a duty to join thie Association or contribute in some way to its work, for it is the only national association in this country that is organized for the protection of all useful birds; and the urgent needs for its activities are far in excess of its resources. Mr. William Dutcher, the first President, 141 Broadway, New York City, will always be grateful for an encouraging word from any sympathizer in his work of self-sacrificing endeavor on behalf of the birds and his fellow men.

Electricity in the Cooking School

The young ladies of the Belton, Texas, high school in pursuit of culi- nary knowledge in the domestic science course do all their experimental cooking in electrically-heated utensils. Even as good cooking points the most direct way to a man's heart to electricity is the quickest and best heat medium for preparing foodstuffs. The kitchen of the Belton school it one of the bett and, most up-to-date in the country. It is equipped with a complete line of modern electric heating utentils including frying pans, vegetable cookers, chafing dishes, percola- tors, cereal cookers and electric ovens.

In equipping this domestic science kitchen the health and comfort of the students, as well at perfect convenience and cleanliness, were taken into consideration. It was desirable that the young ladies should work about the kitchen in good dresses and that there should not be any disagreeable and unhealthy gases and dust. In all these.gpod qualities electricity stands alone, so the kitchen was wired for the electric devices and now there are no dirty coal fires, -no dangerous and unhealthy gas pipes or no treacherous gasoline or alcohol stove* The cooking is done right on the two long wooden rabies. The switches to turn the current on or off are located on the table top and the 'flexible connections are adjusted from (beneath the cover. The kitchen, even when eighteen girls are cooking, is always dainty, clean and free from disagreeable odors or flying ashes.

Think of conservative economical Boston putting $10,000,000 into the End I That is what ha* happened

he building of the Wtthington Et tunnel, which will be opened

for transportation uses between now and the first of 1900.

But Boston will certainly have something to show for the money. The gleaming white tube, a little more than a mile long and costing neatly $2000 a running foot, is des- tined to be one of the attractions of the city for a long time to come. The Boston Transit Commission, assuming that tbey were doing this work not for one generation but for several, have been lavish in creating a marvel of scientific engineering and architectural exquisiteness. -The stations, it is safe to assert, are superior in appearance and appointments to those of any other underground rapid transit route in the world.

The community gets satisfaction, not only in the picturesqueness of the new tunnel but in the accessibility and what the nerve specialists call the vitality—the ease with which various choices of route can be made over the lines of a great intercon- nected system. One result will be the increase of the carrying capacity of the elevated lines amounting to as much as 175 per cent.

Stations with entrances and exits handily located at important points in the theatre and shopping district, spacious platforms 330 feet long and capable of accomodating eight car trains, groups of telephone booths, handy parcel rooms, concrete settees, fireproofed materials in newt-stands, ticket chopping machines and ticket sellers booths, the most adequate system of ventilation yet devised for a tunnel—these are some of the attractive features of a seventh wonder of the second centre of population in the United States—a marvel which no New Englander will want to mist seeing in the next few months.

The Laugh Core

Laughter induces a mental exhilara- tion.

The habit of frequent and hearty laughter wil not only save you many a doctor's bill, but will also save you years of your life-

There is good philosophy as well as good hearth in the maxim, "Laugh and grow fat."

Laughter is a foe to pain and disease, and a sure cur* for the "blues," melancholy and worry.

Laughter is contagious. Be cheerful, and you make everybody around you happy, harmonious and healthful.

Laughter and good cheer make love and life, and love of life is half of health;

Use laughter as a table sauce; it sets the organs to dancing, and thus stimulates the digestive processes.

Laughter keeps, the heart and face young, and enhances physical beauty.

Laughter is nature's device for ex- ercising the internal organs and giving us pleasure at the tame time.

It sends the blood bounding through the body, increases the respiration, and give* warmth and glow to the whole system.

It expands the chest, and forces the poisoned air from the least used lung cell.

Perfect health, which may be det- troyed by a piece of bad newt, by grief or anxiety, is often restored by a good, hearty laugh.

A jolly physician is often better than all his pills.

Electric Corn Popper

And now they pop corn by electricity.

The lateat device it the greatest novelty of all the electric heating utensils.

The electric corn popper consittt of an aluminum batin with fitting sides, to which it fitted t dome-shaped cover of wire gauee; this cover to keep the corn from popping out as it pops, and also to enable one tdVsee how the popping is getting on. To the under side of the basin is permanently attached a resistance coil in which heat it produced by the electric current

In one tide of the popper are two plug holes. Into these holes you insert the two plugs at one end of a flexible electric wire, the other end of which you screw into the nearest or most convenient light socket.

As everybody knows, in popping corn in a wire popper you have to keep the popper moving at you hold it over the fire to keep the corn from burning. To permit it being agitated to the tame end the electric popper, which can be used on a polished stand or table, is mounted on little rubber- tired wheels.

Looking Up Case

The result of the autopsy over the body of Mrs. Margaret Smith, wife of John Smith, shows that the local police brought to light a case of murder. Night Patrolman Oliver discovered the Smith woman dying in the alley near the Methuen line when his attention was called to the fact that groans wete heard by George Brady. Officer Oliver stepped over the Me- thuen line to investigate and found the woman. With assistance he took her to her room in the boarding house at 662 Broadway. The part of the building in which the woman died is in Methuen and the other part in Lawrence. Whether the alleged assault was committed in Methuen or just across the line in Lawrence is yet to be determined.

Officer Oliver recognized the woman for she had been before the local court and when he took her to the house he supposed she was only in a stupor from drink. The examination of Medical Examiner Dow yesterday afternoon, however, proved that she died from an assault. She was aged 52 and for some time had been employed as a weaver in the Arlington mills. She was well known in the Arlington District.

This was held at Lake Mohawk, New York, and some 400 persons assembled as guests of A. K. Smiley in his hotel. The conference this year was one of the most successful ever held, and those who took part represented all the Insular possessions of the United States, as well as the Indian reser- vations, in our own land, and the "black belt" of the South.

The addresses and discussions following the same occupied four days, and dealt with practical problems. The congress of the United States was represented by six or seven members, and the heads of departments interested in the management of the. insular possessions were on hand to defend their policies.

A platform, setting forth the views of the conference with reference to the treatment of America's dependent peoples was introduced at the close of the meeting.

Death of Academy Student

Edward P. Viele of Glen Falls, New York, a student of Phillips Academy, died at his home on October 23. Viele was a member of the senior class and entered the Academy only this year. After school had been open but two weeks he developed typhoid fever, contracted doubtless during the summer vacation, and was removed to the Lawrence Hospital where he remained but a few days and was then removed to his home.

Though he was a member of the school but a short time, Viele had endeared himself to many of his fellow students and beautiful floral tributes were sent by the school to his late home.

At the spacious cream parlors of George A. H. Coupe on Broadway a most delightful Hallowe'en party was conducted Saturday evening under the auspices of the Mas-A-Marc Club, composed of a number of young society ladies of the Arlington District. The parlors were luxuriously decorated with palms and bright colored crepe, while the usual arrangement of Jack o'-Lanterns were used to a pretty effect.

A feature of the evening, was a sumptuous spread in the form of a Hallowe'en supper, in which all the old time dainties were in evidence

Numerous games were played and the entire evening was an enjoyable one.

Guests were present from Lawrence and Andover. i

The members of the club comprise Misses Sadie Whittaker, Marion Red- ford, Francis Cleveland, Sabina Col- lins, Anna and Leontine Maney. Miss Mary Bailey impersonated the ghost.

James Seed, employed by the Law- rence Ice Company, and residing on French street, Methuen, reported to the Methuen police, that he was set upon by two thugs early Thursday morning at the corner of Broadway and Oakland avenue.

According to Seed's story, as told to Officers Beaumont and Webb of the Methuen police, he had been attending a social held by the firemen of the

j town and was returning to his home when he was held up by two strang- ers who demanded his money and pro- ceeded to assault him. He resisted, he said, and the men ran down Oak- land avenue. He informed the officers named, but a search failed to find any clue as to the wouldbe highwaymen.

A six-cent fare went into effect on the Southern N. H. system Sunday with the exception of the first fare out of Lawrence and the fare between Methuen and Lawrence, which is to remain at five cents as it has been in the past. This is for the reason that the company must keep its fare so in order to compete with the Boston & Northern. The fare to Salem, N. H., is now 11 cents instead of 10, as the second fare is six cents. On the town farm line a charge of eight cents is to be made. The first fare out of Lawrence will be five cents which will carry to the point where the car turns off from the Canobie lake line, and a three-cent fare will be charged above that point. It is said that school children from Salem who are attending the local High School, are traveling by way of steam cars, now, because no further school tickets are to be issued by the company for use from Salem.

Local farmers, with those of the surrounding towns, have raised the price of milk by retail to eight cents a quart, to take effect November I.

Men are at work erecting poles for the new system of street lights. The work will be pushed as rapidly as possible so that the new system can be used during the winter.

Litigious South Africans. The Diamond Fields Advertiser,

referring to the litigious nature of the natives of South Africa, gives the following ss an Instance: "A native had fought and lost an action !n the mag- istrate's court In one of the small towns In Oriqualand East, the articles In dispute being a slate and an alpha- betical primer of the total value of sixpence. He, immediately after the Judgment was given against him, started on a journey on foot to the chief town, about thirty miles distant, In order to Instruct an attorney there to appeal from the Judgment given. The attorney laughed at the man and told him he should desist, as be would only be wasting his money over a trivial matter, but he tendered the costs of the appeal to the attorney and Insist- ed; otherwise be would consult another lawyer. After a long consultation and endeavor to advise his client to set as was thonght best the attorney compiled with the native's wishes. The native won his appeal."

ROBERT FULTON AS A LAD. Inaidents Illustrating the Young Man's

Interest In Mechanics. There are several anecdotes which

relate to Robert Fulton's early interest In mechanics—the first steps of progress toward his later skill. In 1773. when he wss eight years old, bis mother, having previously taught him to read and write, sent blm to s school kept by Mr. Csleb Johnson, a Quaker gentleman of pronounced Tory principles—so pronounced, lu fact, tbat he narrowly escaped with bis life durlug the Revo- lution. But Robert Fulton did not care for books, and be began st a very early age to search for problems never mas- tered and bound In print. This greatly distressed the Quaker teacher, who spared not the rod. and It Is said that In administering such discipline on the hsnd of Robert Fulton be one day tes- tily exclaimed. "There, that will make you do something!" to which Robert, with folded arms, replied, "Sir, I came to have something beaten Into my brains and not Into my knuckles.'' Without doubt he was a trial to his teacher.

He entered school one day very late, and when the master Inquired the reason Robert, with frsnk Interest, replied thst be had been at Nicholas Mil- ler's shop pounding out lesd for a pencil. "It is the very best I ever had. sir," he affirmed as be displayed his product The master, after an examination of the pencil, pronounced it ex calleot When Robert's mother, who had been distressed by his lack of application to his studies, expressed to his teacher ber pleasure at signs of Improvement tbe latter confided to ber that Robert had said to blm. "My head Is so full of original notions that there la no vacant chamber to stow away tbe contents of dusty books."

These incidents to tbe contrary, It Is nevertheless true that Robert Fulton did absorb a good knowledge of tbe rudiments of education.—Century Mag asine.

ABOVE THE LAW. Courts Have No Jurisdiction Over

Foreign Ambassadors. The chief of an embassy Is an au-

gust being and one who boasts some remarkable privileges. It may be men- tioned to begin with that In tbe land in which he Is officiating an ambassador ranks immediately after the princes of tbe blood royal.

The ground on wblch an embassy stands Is In theory ss well as In practice the territory of the nation to which Its principal occupant belongs. Even If a criminal were harbored In an embassy tbe police could not enter the premises without permission.

An ambassador Is above the law of the country to which he Is accredited. The courts have no Jurisdiction over him, snd, strangely enough, bis sub- ordinates and even bla domestic servants are also Inviolate. Tbe humblest employee In tbe embassy If he- com- mitted a punishable offense could not be arrested without the consent of bis master, nor can an embassy official be Imprisoned for debt

Ambassadors are to be envied most of all perhaps for their freedom from the burden of taxation. Tbey dis- burse not one penny In taxes, either directly or Indirectly, snd, as for the custom bouse, It Is nonexistent so far as they are concerned. No duty whatever Is charged In respect of wines, cigars, cigarettes, etc., that are con- signed to tbem.

Again, their excellencies need not bother about taxes unless they please. That they do so Is purely an act of grace on their part Tbey are not le- gally exempt from these tantalizing demands on the purse, but If they declined to meet them there would be no means of enforcing payment—Caasell's Journal.

Effect of an "H." A cockney whose name Tina Ogton,

which be. following the usage of bis class, prouoiuiccd Hogtown. settled at the beg'utilng of the lust century in the city of Nfw York, where be did business aa a trader. His prefixing of the "h" was the occasion of a postoffice story which liuiilap. tbe author of the "History of the Arts of Design." tells.

Before the clerks of tbe postofflce knew Ogton he called day after day to Inquire If there were "any letters for John Hogtown."

"None, sir," wss tbe Invariable answer.

"Very strange," said be, feeling un- easy about tbe goods be had ordered from England and the bills of exchange he bad remitted.

One day after the usual question, "Any letters for John Hogtown?" his eye, following the clerk, noticed that be wss.looking among the letters beginning With H.

'"Olio!" cried he. "What are yoo looking there for? I aaid John Hop town."

"I know It, sir, snd 1 am looking for John Hogtown, and there's nothing for you."

"Nsy, nay!" ahoutad John. "Donl look among the haltches. Look among the hoes." And among the O's wens found a pile of letters addressed H John Ogton. which had been accum* lating for many a week. 1

NINETIETH ANNIVERSARY

The South Church Sunday-school celebrated its ninetieth anniversary under gloomy skies last Sunday; but there was nothing downhearted about the observance of the day.

The morning service was for the most part' the usual service of the church. The choir sang a fine an- them by Stainer. After a short historical address by the pastor, Rev. George H. Gutterson secretary of the American Missionary Association, made the principal address. Mr. Gut- terson was superintendent of the school from 1875 to 1877. His words were full of cordial" and grateful remembrance of his South Church days. They were full of strong Christian feeling as well, and deserved to be printed if they had existed in any form but that of notes.

The Sunday-school celebration proper followed the morning service. Only the kindergarten and the primary departments wer« absent from the exercises, and their places were taken by a number from the congregation. Six former superintendents took part in the exercises, which were notably pleasant.

.The evening service brought together representatives of neighboring schools. The platform was adorned by magnificent chrysanthemums, the gift of the Free Church school. Mr. John W. Bell spoke very felicitously, also, for the Free Church. Mr. Gay- ton C. Abbott, for the West Church, urged the dignity of the Sunday- school and loyalty to the institution. Mr. Perley F. Gilbert spoke with the warmth of a former member of the school, though now superintendent in the Baptist Church. The closing address was given by Rev. John L. Keedy of North Andover. It was an interesting account of the recent changes in the school of the Congre- gational Church in North Andover.

BOARD OF VISITORS HEAR AR- GUMENTS OP OBJECT-

ING ALUMNI

Formal arguments in favor of the separation of Andover Theological Seminary from Harvard University, with which it became affiliated only a few months ago, and the removal of the seminary back to Andover, were presented last Thursday before the Board of Visitors. This much discussed question came up at the hearing held at the Parker House, and for more than three hours the small gathering of men, all more or less prominent in Congregational circles, paid close attention.

The meeting was called to order at 0.30 o'clock by Rev. Henry A. Stimpson, D. D., pastor of Manhattan Church, New York, president of the Board of Visitors, who offered prayer. President S. V. Cole of Wheaton Seminary and Judge William B. Bas- sett of Northampton, the two other members of the Board, were seated at the table. The following named were present: President George W. Harris of Amherst College, president of the Board of Trustees of the Sem- inary; Rev. Nehemiah Boynton, D. D. formerly of Boston and now of Brook- lyn; Rev. Charles L. Noyes, pastor of the Winter Hiii Congregational Church of Somerville; William F. Whittemore of Boston; Prof. H .N. Gardner of Smith College and Bur- ton W. Gray of Boston, other mem- bere of the Board of Trustees; Rev. William E. Wolcott, D. D., Lawrence, Rev. Charles Parkhurst, D. D., of Zion's Herald, a Methodist who has shown great interest in the seminary controversy; Rev. F. H. Page of Waltham, Rev. W. W. Dunn, formerly of Stoneham, William Shaw of the Christian Endeavor World, who has also shown much interest in the question; Principal A. E. Stearns of Philips Andover Academy and Prof. John W. Platner, the only Andover- Harvard professor present at the hearing.

Mr. Wolcott took the floor immediately after the prayer, and began his argument against keeping the seminary in Cambridge and its affiliation with Harvard, an argument which occupied nearly two hours. He ended by asking the Visitors to vote for the removal back to Andover, and for entire re-separation of the seminary from the University.

The speaker argued that the founding of the seminary grew out of the desires of the two bodies of Christ- ians, one at Andover and the other on the eastern coast of Essex County, to form a strong opposition to the advancement of Unitarianism, at that time gaining fast foothold in New England. He claimed it was the Uni- tarian control of Harvard, being ac- complished at that time, that turned Samuel Abbott away from the Cam- bridge college and made him give his aid to Andover. He said that the founders of the seminary evidently knew what they wanted when they went to Andover—they desired not to be affiliated with any other college; if they had not so desired they might have joined their forces with any one of the six colleges then existing under Congregational auspices in New Eng- land. The founders aimed to benefit only such students as were training for the gospel ministry and a few specially worthy students of unusual piety.

The affiailtion with Harvard, he claimed, will broaden the scope of the training and will give an opportunity for students of Harvard not fitting for the ministry to take Andover courses to count towards their college degrees and not in conformity with the founders' intentions. He claimed that the $150 tuition fee would place some of the work of the paying students under the professorships which the founders had said would be free. Affiliation with the larger organization, he claimed, would prevent the personal contact of student and professor evidently sought at the time that Andover was selected.

Referring to the matter of degrees, Mr. Wolcott declared that the new arrangement would make it possible for a student to get his seminary degree without taking as much work under the regular Andover professors as formerly. Closer relations with Unitarianism were established by the change. This, he said, was undesirable in that the founders were set against Unitarianism from the start. He was aware that it would be argued that the Harvard Divinity School was non-sectarian. The speaker went on to show that, to his mind at least, it was not. He cited an address by President in 1879 when the head of Harvard declared that, as Unitarians

had founded the Divinity School and had largely supported it, it was only proper that their doctrines always should find a place in its cirriculum. Mr. Wolcott said that there are at present Unitarians, Baptists and Con- fregationalists on the Divinity

chools faculty. He could see no reason, however, why, at some future time, other denominations might not replace the Congregationalists and Baptists, and announced that Uni- tarians must always find a place among the professorships. He said that there must always be two Uni- tarians, at least, on the faculty, and that one of these must be a teacher of divinity. The system of engaging professors gave Harvard authorities a "moral influence" over the seminary trustees and visitors, which really made a third governing body for the seminary.

In closing Mr. Wolcott declared that the vote of the trustees to affil- iate the seminary with Harvard Uni- versity was in violation of the statutes; that the seminary was supposed to exist as a separate institution instead of one forming a part of a university.

Mr. Wadsworth, an attorney who appeared in behalf of the protestants, spoke briefly of the Board of Visitors' rights under the statutes, saying that he thought the Board had full legal authority to do all that Mr. Wolcott asked.

President Harris, representing the trustees, was called upon by Presi- dent Stimpson to give his side of the controversy, after the presiding officer had stated that today's hearing was in continuation of the annual visitation, begun in June. President Har- ris said that the trustees were not ready* to make an argumentt on the legal phases of the affiliation question. In view of what had developed he requested more time, saying that he felt the trustees already had given sufficient reasons why they voted for the removal.' While an agreement as to the date for the next session was being reached. Professor Platner said that the Andover professors were in the habit of giving lectures and sup- plying courses at outside institutions and that they even had filled vacan- cies at Harvard for six months or a year. He thought Mr. Wolcott's remarks might mislead some on that point. He said that the affiliation would aid the seminary, and declared that the total amount of work now required to be done under Andover professors is larger than formerly.

It was decided to meet again at 2.30 P. M. on Dec. 3 to hear from the trustees and any others interested.

FEEBLE OLD LADY Has Strength Bestored By

Vlnol Mrs. Michael Bloom of Lewlstown,

Pa., who Is 80 yean of age, says: "For • long time I have been so feeble that I have bad to be wheeled around In an lnvalld'a chair. I had no strength and took cold at the slightest provoca- tion, which invariably settled on my longs, and a cough would result My son learned of the cod liver preparation called Vlnol, and procured a bottle for me. It built up my strength rapidly, and after taking three bottles I am able to do most of my work, and I can walk a quarter of a mile easily. Every aged or weak person who re-' quires strength should try Vlnol. I am delighted with what It has done for me."

As a body builder and strength crea- tor for old people, delicate children, weak; run-down persons, and after sickness, Vlnol Is unexcelled. If It falls to give satisfaction we will return your monsr

WM. A. ALLEN Ph.G. Andover, Mass.

The future development of the lumber industry in this country lies in the direction of a closer utilization of forest products. Both foresters and practical lumbermen now agree on this point.

Just what can be done in this field is well illustrated in the operations at the mill of the Great Southern Lumber Company, which has just re- opened its plant at Bogalusa, Louis- iana, in response to the increased demand for lumber after the recent slump in business. This is perhaps the largest saw-mill in the United States, if not in the world, and is capable of turning out the enormous amount of 600,000 feet of sawn lumber board per day. A reader can get a fair idea of this quantity of lumber when he is told that its output is enough to build a little town of 40 houses, along with a good sized church and a school house every day.

This company was quick to grasp the significance of the rapid depletion of timber resources. Last year it began a co-operative investigation in wood utilization with the United States Forest Service and arrangements have just been completed for a renewal of the experiments. The work will be along practical lines and will be aimed to secure a closer utilization of the products of the southern lumber mills and at the same time produce a margin of profit in excess of that obtained by the methods which are now practiced.

The field for work along this line is broad. It is well known that the superior grades of lumber are obtained from old mature trees, provided they are not weakened by decay or other influences. In other words, a thousand feet board measure of lumber, sawed from a tree two feet in diameter, costs less and is worth more than a thousand feet sawed from a tree only eight inches in diameter. Moreover, timber cut from young trees usually contains a large amount of sapwood. If ties, poles, etc., are cut from such material, they will decay far more rapidly than if cut from heartwood. It is not good business policy, however, in a great many cases to saw the most valuable timber into commodities which are relatively low in cost, such as ties and poles. It is the intention therefore, of the company to find out just what size and classes of timber can be best utilized for the cheaper commodities when given a preservative treatment.

To this end a careful study will be made to ascertain the amount and value of the products sawed from trees of different sizes and just how each can be best utilized so as to secure greatest economy and profit For example, can a tree eight inches in diameter be best utilized for ties or for flooring, and how will the profits compare if treated with those sold untreated? It seems reasonable to suppose that the profits derived from the sale of treated timber will exceed those from untreated timber

Moreover, the greater use of chem- ically preserved wood will undoubtedly result in that wood giving a greater life in service. Hence, the amount of timber cut annually in the United States, simply to replace that which was decayed, will be materially decreased, and a further conservation of forest resources will result Re- cent estimates by the Forest Service place this reduction at IO per cent of the total timber cut. The practical benefits of these experiments slid of the mvwtijattons for the irtilfeaiion of sawmill waste are at Once apparent

PERISHED IN FROZEN NORTH

Reported Discovery of the Body or Explorer Andres

NEAR THE LABRADOR COAST Half-Cut* Eskimo Who Commanded

• Schooner Credited With Having

Located Grave Marked by Simpl*

Wooden Croa "Various Rumors

of Finding Ralics of North Pola

Expedition ot 1897 Never Confirmed

Copenhagen, Nov. 12.—Beneath a simple wooden cross, not far from the Labrador coast, the bod; of Profeseoi S. A. Andree, who In 1897 made an attempt to reach the North Pole In a balloon, la believed to have been discovered.

The single name "Andree" crudely carved upon the crosa furnishes the sole clue to the final resting place of the in- trepid Arctic explorer. Burled with the body waa also found a box of documents, the nature of which, however, baa not vet been ascertained.

Captain Chalker, skipper of the schooner Pilot of Brigue, of Conception Bay, N. F., is credited with making the Important discovery, the news of which was contained in a letter received here from the captain of the Danish steamer Inga, dated Labrador, Sept. 30.

The letter from the captain of the Inga was sent from Indian Side, Labra- dor, and that states that the schooner Pilot of Brigue arrived there from Cape Mugford, northern Labrador.

Captain Chalker reported that he went inland at that place and, about a quarter of a mile from shore, came up on a simple wooden cross, on whlcb waa inscribed the name "Andree" ot "Andre."

The place where the cross was discovered Is an absolute desert and Is rarely visited, even by the Eskimos. What became of Andree's two companions, if the discovered remains proved to be bis, is problematical, but light probably will be thrown upon their fate by an examination of the paper*.

Captain Chalker Is a half-caste Eski- mo who took part in the landing of the Peary expedition In Greenland.

The expedition to discover the North Pole, organized by Professor S. A. Andree, a Swedish explorer, left Danes island, Spitsbergen, in a balloon on the afternoon of July 11, 1897. An- dree was accompanied by two companions, Stindberg and Fraenkel. He waa prepared to drop messages relating his progress, and various such com- munications were discovered during the three months following bis departure. No authentic news, however, ever was received concerning the fate of the ba! loon or its occupants.

Various rumors have been current of the finding of relics of the expedition, but none of them ever was. confirmed. In September, 1899, a buoy marked "Andree Polar expedition," with an an- chor attached, was picked up'on King Charles Island and later identified as the buoy which Andree was to drop when passing the pole, but the general opinion was that it had been lost over- board or thrown out to lighten the balloon. In September, 1900, a bottle containing a note numbered 148 was found near Vardoe, the most northeasterly port of Norway.

It has twice been reported that An- dree's body had been found, but nelthet of these statements were substan- tiated. In July, 1902, a circumstantial story was received from York Factory, Northwest British Territory, setting forth that Andree and his two companions had been murdered two years previously, that is In 1900, by a party of Es- kimos at a point several hundred miles north of York and near Fort Churchill. The Eskimos saw the balloon alight on a plain of snow and three men emerge from It. The nauves approached, and as they did so one of Andree's companions fired off a gvn. This waa regarded as a challenge, and almost Instantly the natives, according to this story, fell upon the three explorers and massacred them. Everything pertaining to An- dree's outfit waa carried to the homes of the natives on the borders of the Arctic region.

Many expeditions, some equipped at great expense, have searched the Arctic regions for the missing balloonlats, but none of them was successful.

Andree's balloon was so constructed as to be capable of remaining in the air for over fifty days. The start from Danes Island was made under exciting circumstances.

ARBITRATION AGREED UPON

Either Franca or Germany Will Apol- i OgiX* For "Casablanca Inc dent"

Paris, Nor. 11.—The question that has arisen between France and Ger- many over what has come to be known aa "the Casablanca incident," arising ont of the arrest by the French authorities of German deserters from the French foreign legion, will be referred to a court of arbitration. Jules Cam- bon, the French ambassador at Berlin, and Baron Von Waechter, the German acting secretary for foreign affairs, have signed an agreement looking to the settlement of the matters in dispute.

The official text of the agreement sets forth that after an exchange of expres- sions of regret that the Incident occurred, the entire question of law and facts shall be submitted to arbitration. The selection of the court Is left open for adjustment later. The agreement also provides that the country whose agents are adjudged at fault shall make an apology to the other.

No Jury Trial In Canal Zone Washington, Nov. 10.—The case ol

"ME NATURALLY ANTAGONISTIC"

States Mai Separate Whites aid Blacks In Schools

Washington, Nov. 10.—In deciding the case of Berea college vs. the state of Kentucky favorably to the state, the supreme court of the United States held that the states of the Union may constitutionally legislate to prevent tbe co-education of the white and black races.

The case was instituted to test the validity of the state law of 1894, pro- hibiting white and black children from attending the same schools. Tbe higher state court ruled that the white and black races are "naturally antagonistic, and that tbe enforced separation of the children of the two Is in the Una of tbe preservation of the peace."

The opinion of the supreme court was handed down by Justice Brewer and affirmed the finding of both the Kentucky circuit com-* and the court of appeals.

Contend! g that It would prove Im- practicable and unsatisfactory to separate corporate from private schools, Justice Ha Ian In bis dissenting opinion said the court should meet the entire question squarely and decide whether It is a crime tinder any conditions to educate white children and negro children at the same Institution. He did not concede that it should be so regarded.

The Law of the Road

The last Legislature passed a law that is of great importance, and one that should be impressed upon every user of the highway. The law is as follows, and is part of Chapter 512:

SECTION I.—Whenever on any bridge or way, public or private, there is not an un- obstructed view of the road for at least one hundred yards, the driver of every vehicle shall keep his vehicle on the right of the middle of the travelled part of the bridge or way, whenever it is safe and practicable so to do. (Section 3 provides a penalty.)

It is evident from investigation of many accidents on the road that a large number of them are caused by failure to observe the safe and sensi- ble rule which, by this statute, is made law of the Commonwealth, applying to the vast majority of situations, namely, "KEEP ON YOUR OWN RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD."

Even in passing on the left of another vehicle going in the same direction, as provided in Chapter 54 of the Revised Laws, a driver should have a clear road before leaving the right hand side.

By observing this law at all times, drivers of carriages and automobiles will not only save themselves from possible prosecution in the Courts, but will greatly add to their own safety and to the safety of other users of our roads.

A SLIM ATTENDANCE OF VOT- ERS AT THE SPECIAL

TOWN MEETING

Editorial Cinders

y

The citizens of the town, or the few of them whe were in attend- ence at the special town meeting last Monday evening, showed a remark- eble attitude toward a town department when they voted an extra appropriation for Highway expenses. We have no criticism to make at this time of the management of'this department during the past year. On the contrary, we are inclined to think that the affairs are being well ten- ducted, and that the town is getting a fair return for the money it has expended. But when a specified appropriation has been made, and the money thus appropriated is used in other ways, we cannot help feeling that no matter who the official is, it is a very grave mistake for such action to be not only allowed to pass without censure, but to be endorsed. Superintendent Gould must have regretted that he had not asked for fifty-two hundred dollars instead of twenty-two, when he found with what ease the town approved his request. . .

**** Two men who possess the high es-

teem of the entire newspaper fraternity were elected for the first time last Tuesday to membership in the Massachusetts Legislature. One of them, Mr. George C. Fairbanks of Natick, holds the position of Presi- dent of the Massachusetts Press As- sociation, and has long been a leader among the suburban newspaper men of Massachusetts. The state is a gainer through his election as one of its public servants. The other gentleman is one of the best known in the Commonwealth, and while his early work as a newspaper man gave him quite an acquaintance in that line, his later work as Lecturer of the State Grange has made Charles M. Gardner of West field a leader ot many men in the Commonwealth. He comes to his legislative work with unusual equipment, and his Grange friends will unite with all the others who know him, in predicting a brilliant future for htm in public life.

The story of Dr. Conroy's twenty- fifth wedding anniversary published in another column will call forth from many others than those who had a part in the anniversary, congratulations and well wishes. Dr. Conroy's career affords a most interesting illustration of the success that may follow perserverance and industry. A native of Ireland, with meagre education, a poor boy in America, a work- man in the foundry, a night student and a day worker, a medical diploma and a growing practise, well touch the stages through which Dr. Conroy has passed in reaching his present position of respect and standing in Andover. May he have many more years of life in which to do his part in the spread of true Americanism.

It is just two week's to the annual Fireman's Ball, and it is one of the timely reminders due in this column to call attention to this event. Many of our citizens who do not attend the Ball are accustomed to purchase tickets, and many more ought to follow this excellent example. The Fire Laddies need the money to cover their annual expenses, and while an indiscriminate endorsement of or- ganizations through the purchase of Ball tickets is not to be commended, this is one of the cases where we wish that every person who can afford it, would contribute at least this much.

**** We overlooked some praise that

was honestly due in last week's issue of the Townsman. We cannot recall when the election returns have been given with such promptness as they were last Tuesday night by Warden Allen and his associates. It was good work, and placed Andover among the first rank of towns so far as election returns were concerned. While the men who did this work received fair return in dollars and cents, it is after all a sort of a thankless task, and when the work is as well done as it is in Andover our citizens have reason to be very grateful to the men who do it.

V

A special town meeting of the voters was held in the Town Hall last Monday evening to consider the question of raising money for the street department and to meet the increased state and county tax. Harry A. Ramsdell was moderator of the meeting.

When discussion was opened on the first article of the warrant, Milo H. Gould, the highway surveyor explained at length to the meeting the condition of the finances of the highway department. He said that during the past year the repair work on the streets of the town had been much greater than usual and that the appropriation made for this year had been exhausted, and, not only did the department have a deficit, but the very necessary work on the River road would be held up because of a lack of funds. Mr. Gould therefore asked that the town appropriate money to meet the deficit in his department and to complete the work on the River road.

J. L. Burns opposed such action on the part of the town. Mr. Burns took the stand that such procedure was not in accord with good business principles and he also urged that it was establishing a wrong precedent.

Arthur Bliss likewise questioned the policy suggested and asked where the money was to come from, and when it was suggested that part of the money should be deducted from next year's appropriation Mr. Bliss urged that the department would need all that would be appropriated for next year.

A question then arose concerning the distribution of the appropriation, some of the voters urging that $1500 of the sum .had been voted for the work on the River road, but Town Clerk Marland said that his records do not show this. The motion was then made and carried that the town appropriate $2200 for highways and macadam, and that the treasurer borrow this amount and a like sum be deducted from next year's appropriation.

When the next article was taken up Harry M. Eames explained that the appropriation of last March was not sufficient to pay the state and county taxes. It was therefore voted that the treasurer be authorized to borrow $3000 to meet the increased tax.

In answer to a question from Bar- nett Rogers regarding the work proposed on Reservation street, chairman of the selectmen Eames said that the County Commissioners had estimated that the proposed work would cost about $6000. Mr. Eames stated that $1000 was all that the town should be expected to pay, and the commissioners had expressed the opinion that the county should give a like sum. No action in this matter has been taken by the County Com- missioners however.

Before the meeting adjourned, Supt. Gould expressed his appreciation of the action of the voters and assured them of his earnest efforts in the behalf of the town's interests.

Death of Mrs. Mary Jowett

Many Andover friends of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Jowett, who have for many years been active in the life of An- dover, and especially in that part of the town life where Mr. Jowett was the superintendent of the Marland Mills, were deeply shocked late last week to hear of the death of Mrs. Jowett, which occurred Thursday, November 5 at her late home in Haverhill.

The deceased was born at Mosley, Eng., and came to this country with her parents when but five years old, locating in North Andover where her early life was spent. Some few years after her marriage to Mr. Jowett, they removed to Andover where the resided for more than a quarter of a century. Upon Mr. Jowett's retirement a few years ago from active life as a manufacturer, he removed to Haverhill where he has large real estate interests.

Here in Andover Mrs. Jowett was beloved by all who knew her. She was possessed of a most winning per- sonality, and her good works were many and varied. In her younger days she was a constant attendant of the Episcopal church and took a deep interest in everything pertaining to its welfare. During her last illness, which lasted several months, she bore her suffering with remarkable fortitude and the end came very unexpectedly last Thursday morning. Her age was 71 years, nine months and three days.

She is survived by her husband, two daughters, Miss Alice, and Mrs. J. Harry Tapley of Haverhill, and two sons John W. of Methuen and Charles H. of Andover, besides several grand children.

Funeral services were held on Sun- day afternoon last, at one o'clock at her late home in Haverhill, and were conducted by Rev. Dr. Tyler of St. John's church, Haverhill.

At the services the Windsor quartet was present and feelingly rendered "Lead Kindly Light" and Rock of Ages." There were many floral tributes, evidence of the love and esteem of her many friends, and her friends were in attendance in large numbers from Andover, North Andover, Low- ell and Haverhill.

At the conclusion of the services interment took place at Ridgcwood cemetery, North Andover. The bearers were Messrs. Nathaniel and Sam D. Stevens of North Andover. Marcellus and Othello Greenwood of Lowell.

ANDOVER AND EXETER

ANDOVER WINS AT FOOTBALL FINAL SCORE 12 TO 0

LARGE CROWD SEES THE BLUE TRIUMPH FOR FOURTH

CONSECUTIVE YEAR

Once more, and for the fourth consecutive time, Andover celebrated a foot ball victory over Exeter. Once again Exeter found in Andover a team a little faster, a little better trained, and a little more familiar with the varied possibilities of the new style of football. And by their knowledge of the new game and their use of that knowledge the Andover men won their victory. During the first part of the game both teams limited their plays to line plunges and end runs, varied by frequent necessary punts for neither team could advance by this style of play. Realizing this, the Andover captain changed his tac- tics and turned loose a series of open field plays that seemed to bewilder the Exeter team and a couple of touchdowns quickly resulted.

It was a good football game, the kind of game typical of the meeting of these two teams. The weather was in favor of the players; a large crowd lent its encouragement, and the traditions of their schools was in- centive enough to bring out every last ounce of effort in each player.

The spirit of the supporters of both elevens was commendable. Cheers were exchanged by the schools before and after the game, and as the Ando- ver students swung around the field after the game the Exeter supporters gave a cheer for the victors. And Exeter supported her defeated team. Not only throughout the game but after the players had left the field the Exeter cheer snapped out again and again for the players, the coach and the school.

Both teams came on the field at about the same time and as they ran through a short signal practice there seemed little to choose from in the appearance of either team, though Exeter was said to have a slight advantage in weight. After a short practice the captains and officials con- sulted for a few minutes in the center of the field. The toss was won by Exeter and Captain Ross elected to

THE OFFICIAL A. V. I. S. STORY A Year's Work of This Important Local Institution as Told

by the Secretary and Treasurer

The annual meeting of the Andover Village Improvement Society was held last Monday evening in the lower Town hall. Reports were given by the secretary and treasurer and the work for next year was discussed.

The report of the treasurer, Mrs. Abbott, shows the finances of the society to be in very satisfactory shape. Independent of the trust funds $167.65 have been received in gifts and dues and this with $1204.50 received in memorial funds and last year's balance brought the total receipts to $1496. Of this amount $1200 were deposited to the credit of the society in various savings banks and $109.06 were spent in the work of the society.

The report of the secretary shows that the activities of the society have been in accord with its general policy, viz: the improvement of the town, and many spots in town bear witness to the efforts of this organization. One new departure this year was to furnish school children with vegetable, as well as flower seeds, and als. cooperate with the school board in furnishing instruction in the preparation and care of vegetable gardens. ,

The reports follow:—

Secretary's Report "We are travelling to the Beau-

tiful City of the Ideal, and all good work is a report of our progress." Although our society lacks a few

months of being 15 years old, the -change of time of our annual meeting from February to November, calls for the 15th annual report of the Sec- retary.

In the years since our organization, Andover has changed greatly, and with the changes we have seen the growth of a finer public spirit and an increasing pride in all which is being done, in various ways, to improve our town.

Early in the year, the directors bought of the heirs of Mr. Henry Pasho, a small point of land at the corner of Summer street and Upland Road, for a triffling sum.

With the co-operation of the town officials the line of the road bed on Upland Road was moved farther south, at this point, making direct connection with Pine street, and the ground occupied by the old road and a small open area were put into shape for a park. The work here is stdl unfinished, the season having been most unfavorable for starting grass on account of the severe droughts.

The grade of the park has been raised a few inches above that of the- surrounding roads and the out-crop- ping ledge left to add its bit of rugged beauty to the contrasting greensward. Two fine elm trees are an added feature. ,

We do not intend to make any effort to plant shubbery here, our experience being that the well cared for grass plot is more satisfactory in the end.

The expense of moving the stone wall between the street and the Pasho land was, of course, borne by us. Mr: John Bell kindly furnished a surveyor free of charge, and Mr, .peorger W. Foater gave legal services in preparing the deed, to both of whom we are grateful.

We have named this new park Up- land Green, and hope that it will in time compare favorably with others which have been improved by us.

In addition to the flower seeds which for several years, we have furnished to the children for a cent a package, we this year furnished several varieties of vegetable seeds at the same rate, and found the children eager to purchase, although the flower seeds were more popular, the proportion being about 2 to I. A total at 3335 packages were sold.

It hav been a growing conviction among us that many of the children needed instruction in the preparation and care of their gardens, in order to- secure the best results, and on hearing that the School Committee were intending to have a school garden cared for by the children, under the supervision of a teacher, we decided to co-operate with them in this work and instead of offering the usual prizes for the best gardens, we gave to the school committee $30 to assist in their work.

At the John Dove School the children of grades 6 and7 were given the care of the gardens. A small section of ground which had previously been ploughed and harrowed was allotted to each child, and the whole of their work was done under intelligent guidance.

Their success with the early vegetables was all that could be desired, but those which were not ready to be gathered before school term closed became public property (in the minds of certain onlookers) and were gathered by others than those who had cared for them from the time of planting the seed.

In Ballardvale similar work has been carried on for several years under the enthusiastic guidnce of Miss Putnam, and the children have gained various kinds of knowledge in connection with it. This year the ground was measured by the older boys; a plan drawn to scale, altoting a portion to each child, and a system of book-keeping showing profit and expense devised, all of which was of great value to the children.

A vote as to the respective advantages of small plots, as carried out this year, or having the garden the property of the school as a whole as in previous years, resulted in a unanimous vote by the children for private ownership, and under that they have learned all the principles of planting and proper care of the garden. In some cases the child kept a balance sheet and reported when called upon as to the financial results.

Miss Florence Abbott was employed by the school committee to instruct the children, and several creditable displays of fruit and flowers were given at Mr. Playdon's and Mr. Chase's stores.

It was interesting to note that in several cases the winners of the "blue ribbon" at the flower show were the same children who had earned garden prizes in previous years.

Gladiolus bulbs were again given to the children who had the most satisfactory gardens the previous year.

The Ledges, under the care of Mr. George W. Chandler, have been kept in most satisfactory condition. Some destruction of the turf was the natural outcome of tearing up the street for the purpose of laying larger water pipes, but it was easily prepared.

The shrubs are doing fairly well and have been broken less than usual, for which thanks are due to the over- sight of the family of the caretaker.

Many more plants of phlox lubulala have been set out about the base of the ledge.

Manse Green has been really a green in spite of long droughts—in fact Andover lawns seem to have suffered less than those in many neighboring towns.

Marland Village triangle also adds its bit of refreshing verdure at a point where it is much needed.

With one exception the vines at the Town House are doing well, and with proper protectors which the Selectmen have agreed to furnish, we hope the latest plants will flourish.

Since our last annual meeting the bequest of $1000 made by Mr. Tim- othy A. Holt to the Society has been paid.

By the advice of Mr. Poor and Mr. Smart this was invested in two Law- rence Savings Banks. We have also received two Memorial Gifts of $100 each—one in memory of Lucretia W. Torr and one in memory of Lucre- tia Thomson Blanchard, both of whom were interested in our work and whose memory we shall cherish.

Two new names have also been added to our list of sustaining members, Mr. and Mrs. James C. Sawyer.

We have continued our subscriptions to the three magazines which we furnish for the Memorial Hall Library and are planning to do still more for the Library another year in the improvement of the grounds.

A member' of a family'long prominent in Andover affairs spoke of his feeling of shame on reading the list of members of the A. V. I. S., because no one of his name or family was represented. We hope he repaired the omission. There may be others who will this year suffer a similar pang, which may be relieved by a visit to the Treasurer.

Former Andover residents who have returned from time to time for a visit to the old town, speak of the growing beauty of the lawns and gardens, showing greater interest and care and an increasing love of nature. By all such comments we realize that we have a growing constituency of silent partners who are helping to make a more beautiful town.

The interesting part of our work is the knowledge that it wil grow and broaden in many ways in coming years as the funds from various donors enable us to increase our efforts.

We wish to publicly express our gratitude for various gifts and kind- nesses—especially would we thank the Selectmen for hearty co-operation and support, and the Townsman for many favors.

For the Directors, EMMA J. LINCOLN

25TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY DR. AND MRS. E. C. CONROY

CELEBRATE INTEREST- ING EVENT

—

$1496 00

(Continued on Page 7)

Dr. and Mrs. Edward C. Conroy celebrated last Tuesday the 25th anniversary of their wedding. At their home on Essex street a large company of their friends gathered to congratulate the couple and wish them well. Their home was tastefully decorated for the affair with a pro- fusion of flowers and in the evening Japanese lanterns were strung about the lawns and grounds. Dinner was served the guests at six o'clock and the early evening was devoted to music. The features of this part of the day's program was the singing of the Orion quartet which was heartily encored, and the violin numbers given by Mr. Bernard Iago. During the reception which followed Dr. and Mrs. Conroy received the congratulations of a host of friends and Hon. John Breen in a bright speech presented to the happy couple on behalf of a large number of friends, a purse of silver.

Dr. Conroy is a native of Ireland and came to this country nearly thirty years ago. He attended Black Rock college, in Dublin, of which his father was an alumnus, and took his degrees of B.A. and M.A. at Loyala College.

After graduating from college Dr. Conroy attended the Baltimore Med- ical College, and later took a course in surgery under Dr. William H. Co- nant at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

Three children helped in the celebration; Raymond, a student at Har- vard, Augustine who attends Phillips Academy, and Lillian, a pupil in the public high school.

The many gifts brought by friends attest to the esteem in which the couple are held in this vicinity. One of the most elaborate of these gifts is a polished oak chest of silver comprising about thirty pieces, which was presented by Dr. C. A. McCarthy of Lowell.

Among the gifts received by Dr. and Mrs. Conroy were the following:

Mite Box Opening

In response to invitations sent out by their leader, Mrs. W. E. Lombard, sixteen little children and a few grown-ups attended a mite box opening last Saturday afternoon at the Baptist church. The first exercises consisted of songs and prayer, and a little talk about the money. "What do we give it forr 'To send people to teach everybody about Jesus," in obedience to His last command, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."

Then followed the counting of the pennies in concert, which was enjoyed by all, and the amount, nearly $4, was very gratifying. These children, as well as the others over the sea, will be enriched by the giving. Then came the refreshments, a bountiful store, and it was a pretty sight to see the tiny folks seated about the little low tables, with happiness on every face. Surely they will long remember the pleasant afternoon.

Courteous Circle

At the annual meeting of the Cour- teous Circle of the South church held last Tuesday evening, the following officers were elected: Leader, Mrs. Homer F. Foster; vice-leader, Miss Mary Bell; recording secretary, Miss Ella Holt; corresponding secretary, Miss Mabel Jones; treasurer, Mra. William H. Gibson; auditor. Miss Sarah Poor.

Sponsor—Governor Burke Present

Quincy, Mast., NOT. 10.—Amid the shrieking of steam whistles, the flap plug of dags and the cheers of a crowd of invited guests and shipyard officials and employes, the new battleship North Dakota slid off the waya here at noon today.

As the greet vessel quivered befort taking her flrst plunge Into the watet Miss Alary L. Benton of Fargo, N. D. native daughter of the state from which the battleship takes her name broke over her bow a bottle of chum pagne, declaring as she did so, "I namt thee North Dakota."

Among the Invited guests who wit nessed the launching of the battleshi) was John Burke, the newly re-electec governor of North Dakota.

f

JOHN BURKE. The launching of the North Dakota

means the introduction of a new type of warship In the American navy. 8b< will be the flrst American all-blg-gun battleship or real Dreadnought to fly the Stars and Stripes.

The North Dakota, which Is similar In all respects to the Delaware, which Is under construction at Newport News Vs., will have a long forecastle deck extending from the bow almost to the center of the ship. The ten twelve Inch guns are arranged In five turrets, two to a turret, the forward turret be lng so located that the axes of Its gnnt sxe twenty-four feet above the water line, and just abaft this turret is an other, the barbette of which is of sufficient height for Its guns to clear the roof of the forward turret.

MARY L. BENTON. Abaft the break of the forecastle

deck and also ^situated on the axis ol the ship are two more twelve-Inch gut turrets, the guns of the forward turret In this pair flring over the roof of rh€ sfter turret. Abaft and near the sterr Is the fifth and last of the big turrets Naval men declare that no navy In thf world possesses a ship of the Dread- nought type In which the guns are bet- tar arranged.

For repelling torpedo attack the North Dakota will carry a secondary battery of fourteen five-inch guns These guns are all mounted broadside. The vessel will be driven by turbine? and is expected to attain a maximum speed In excess of twenty-one knots an hour.

What Draper's Election Cost Him Boston, Nov. 10.—Lieutenant Gov-

ernor Draper has filed with the secretary of state a return showing that his election as governor cost him $8800. Of this sum, $7500 was paid to the Repub- lican state committee, In three Instal- ments. The Boston Republican city committee was paid $1000, the Republi- can Club of Massachusetts $250, and the Republican city committee of Law rence $50.

WOODRUFF IN THE WAY

Root'* Path to S -nets Not 8} Clear as Anticipated

Washington, NOT. 12.—That no man at this time has a clear path to a seat

In the United States senate to be va- cated by Senator Platt of New York in March next was evidenced yesterday at several conferences on the subject at the White House snd In Washing ton hotels.

For several days It has appeared that If Secretary of State Root decided to become an active candidate, other aspirants for the place would withdraw. Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of the New York Republican state committee, who has had ambitions to become senator for several years, has not assented to the program of eliminating all candidate* except Root

Persons well informed concerning New York politics assert that Woodruff has within his power the making of a very embarrassing senatorial situation. Thus far, there ha* been no charge made of White House dictation against the movement to make Root the successor of Platt, but It Is pointed out that this might easily be made an Issue If a contest over the senatorshlp should be precipitated.

New York politicians who favor the election of Root are endeavoring to In- duce Woodruff to retain the state chairmanship and become a candidate later for the seat In the senate now occupied by Senator Depew.

MORSE REMAINS IN PRISON CELL

Court of Appeals Refuses to Admit Financier to Bail

New York, NOT. 11.—Ball was denied Charles W. Morse, the financier, who has been sentenced to fifteen years' Im-

prisonment at hard labor, and It now seems certain that the former multi- millionaire must remain In the Tombs prison at least until Dec. 3, when argument on the writ of error that has been granted him may be argued.

Judges Laeombe, Ward and Coxe of the Tnlted States circuit court of appeals reudered the decision late jester day by which I ■;< i. was denied him. One loophole Is left open to Morse's counsel In the decision, and that is that the judges decided that, while ball was denied, It was done so "without prejudice to a renewal of the application after a bill of particulars Is filed."

Tbe judges stated briefly that, as the trial judge in the proceedings against Morse had refused to admit him to ball, the reviewing judges were not prepared, on tbe papers submitted to them, to make a disposition of the motion.

New York. Nov. 8.—From a cell In the Tombs prison Charles W. Morse now directs the efforts of his counsel to secure his freedom, he having been sentenced to serve fifteen years In the federal prison at Atlanta. Ga.. for mis application of the fnnds of the Natlona Bnuk of North America and making false entries In tbe books of the bsnk. Alfred H. Curtis, former president of the defunct bank, who was jointly tried and convicted with Morse; was given his liberty on a suspended sentence of five years In prison.

"This la the sweetest, most lovely ■pot Imaginable," aald Ara Barr. ■peaking audibly, aa tbe stream singing below the rock on which ana stood gleamed rosily In tbe sunset

"Isn't It? The setting, the—merciful heavens!" A deep, unfamiliar voice rose to a horrified cry of consterna- tion.

In her sndden, startled turn the girl's slender foot had slipped. It caught In a crevice. A wrench for release, and she sat down, jarringly, uttering a low shriek.

Tbe man skipped nimbly to her assistance. Ills face was even more distressed than hers.

"You are hurt!" he exclaimed. "I certainly am very uncomforta-

ble, sir. My ankle Is sprained, I think. Why did you spesk to me?"

The stranger's eyes widened. "I tbonght you spoke to me. I sup-

posed you saw me. I'm Mr. Elder. Delos Elder, you know. Miss Barr, I'm mighty sorry."

For a moment Ara forgot the pain. She laughed half hysterically. Delos Elder, the man she had long wished to meet —Carolyn Seely's friend, who waa coming to Bonnyvlew, and she, Ara, had begged Carolyn to send him over. Her intention bad been to im- press Mr. Elder. What would Carolyn sayr

"As plucky as she Is pretty," he thought. "Poor child. I'll bet that was agony, but I had to pull. How will I get ber home?"

He leaped down and presently was back with a dripping handkerchief. Already twilight bad darkened about them. Mosquitoes buzzed; a whippoor- wlll sounded the call of the night; the brook gurgled melancholy murmurs; a bat swooped—and no helpful sounds came from the lonely highway.

"I guess my countenance Is sufficiently sopped." uttered Ara meekly. "I didn't quite faint, did I? I'm much obliged for your arm and shoulder, but really, I'm all right now. Please take me home, Mr. Elder."

"Directly, Miss Barr." He passed a band over a wilted shirt front His bright tie had shed Its color on his white vest. Where was his hat? He rubbed his knees; they bad ground painfully against tbe stone, even to sad laceration of cloth.

"No; I might shout for help." "Oh. anything but that Besides,

who will hear you? I'm going to get up."

"You're going to sit still. Miss Barr. Ill find a way. Walt a minute."

Tbe pair sat in dismal silence. Ara dodged a bat with a shudder. Her In- lured foot acbed. It was growing frewsomely dark In the shadows.

-I have It!" exclaimed Elder, rising. •The wheelbarrow!"

"Where?" "By the roadside. Just beyond the

•ridge. It was full of stones for wall- ing up a spring. I'll dump tbe rocks tnd bring It id tbe nearest point"

"You'll dump me." "No, I won't." In an Instant he was gone. The girl

pressed his damp handkerchief to her Hps.

"It was all his fault," she whispered, "but I'm sort of glad It happened Carolyn sald-pshaw! What am I doing?"

"The thing squeaks frightfully and b dirty, but I've spread my coat In it." Informed Mr. Elder, returning. "Come! Ill lift you down Hang on! Don't

"There!" he gasped. "I hope you weren't much joggled. Call some one. I'm going back to find my bat You have been very brave. Tomorrow, when I am presentable, I aball inquire for you. Let us hope nothing serious will result from this experience. It was entirely my fault Miss Barr."

"I'll forgive you." said the girt. It was too dark for him to see bar eyes, else, disheveled as he was, be might have stayed.

Bearing bis dusty coat over an arm, he backed away with a hasty word of farewell, and a portly man (trod* out to tbe piazza.

"Wbafa going on here?" demanded a thunderous voice. "Ara, child, why, la anything wrong?"

Delos, In the darkness, beard the girl's laugb and a calm reply. He appreciated the effort

"Ob, I twisted my ankle, father. A man was kind enough to wheel me home. He wouldn't stop to be thanked. I guess you'U have to carry me in, father."

A fortnight later Miss Seely had a call from tbe judge.

'Carolyn," aald be, "what can you tell me of young Elder? He 1* visiting here, I believe."

Oh! Delos?" replied his hostess, smiling. "Yes, he's still with us. Well, Mr. Elder Is an old friend of mine, judge. He has some brains, plenty of money, an excellent character, belongs to a good family and la extremely particular regarding his clothes. Lately I haven't seen much of Delos. He baa taken to out of door exercise; goes tramping and meandering about He must have lost himself one evening awhile ago, for be came In greatly exhausted and a sight to behold. It waa tbe next day be called at your bouse, I think. I remember he told me that Ara had strained her foot How la It?"

"That didn't amount to much," said the old gentleman thoughtfully. "She was walking on It In a couple of days."

"Oh, so soon! I didn't know. I wrote her a note, but got no reply, so feared she was badly laid up. I've felt sorry for Delos, for I wanted Ara to see a good deal of him. Once I told her, and not so much in a Joke, either, that they were the very one* to fall In love with each other."

The look of disappointment faded from her face as she saw a twinkle in her visitor's eye.

"No?" she exclaimed. 'That's it, Carolyn," observed tbe

jndge, bursting Into a laugh. "They have!"

"All's Right"

THE BOTTLE TREE

A Life Saver For Cattle During the Australian Droughts.

"It was like a real bottle, thirty feet high, covered with tbe bark of a box tree and with a gum tree growing out Where the cork ought to be."

Such was tbe way in which an Eng- lishman described tbe first bottle tree which came under his notice, and truly one who does not know tbe tree- Ha audden appearance In bis pathway, often In tbe midst of dense scrub, must make a vivid Impression.

The lower part of the trunk la thick and cylindrical, decreasing In size toward tbe top, Its sbape being that of a gigantic living bottle, from tbe neck of which spring the only branches and leaves that tbe tree possesses. In this respect it carries to an excess the pe- culiarity of most Australian trees— namely, their lack of branches for a considerable distance up tbe stem.

Tbe bark hi of grayish color and la very bard, says the Philadelphia In- quirer, but the wood Inside Is soft and moist Tbe latter can be cbewed in the same way as sugar cane, but as It lacks Its sweet, pleasant taste It Is rarely used In this way. This peculiar characteristic of tbe tree, however, makes It a valuable food for cattle.

Indeed, during tbe long droughts which occasionally visit Australia hun- dreds of settlers have to thank the bottle tree for saving them from ruin. Sometimes for more than a year and In the Inland districts for still longer periods scarcely a drop of rain falls.

Every blade of grass Is dried, tanks become empty, creeks no longer run and In many case* dry up altogether, a* do nearly all water bolea and la- goons; cultivation Is Impossible, and fodder for cattle and horses Is extremely difficult to procure. Then the bottle tree comes to tbe rescue. Êvery scrub Is searched for these living bottles, and everywhere Is beard tbe ringing of axes aa tbe strange, attractive trees are laid low.

As soon as the trunk has been strip, ped of Its bark the cattle are brought to It if within easy distance, and there they remain till neither leaves nor wood is left. In places where tbe settlers have no scrubs of their own they will drive many miles In order to obtain a wagon load of this great treas- ure.

Sometimes Instead of allowing the animals free access to the tree the settlers cut the trunk into strips, put the strips through the cutter and thus make a substitute for proper chaff.

In many Instances (luring a drought except for prickly pears and the toll- age of trees, cattle are fed on these living bottles alone, and tbey have been the means of saving large quanti- ties of stock.

It seems strange that in the absence of rain these trees should retain their moist interior, as the majority of others look dry and drought stricken.

But throughout all the bottle tree flourishes, lifting Its dark green Ieavea toward the sky, whither the farmers and squatters turn longing eyes In hopes of the wished for rain.

When the dry season ends and the land In a very few weeks Is covered with fresh green grass, tbe work of the bottle tree is done. But, mindful of Its past usefulness, no farmer unless under ubsolute necessity fells this tree, and It may often be seen standing In solitary grandeur. Its strange shape outlined against the blue sky. while the land ut Its base has been put under cultivation or has been con- verted into grazing grounds for tbr cattle.

LIGHTNING AND SHIPS.

Vessels Ars Struck More Frequently Than Is Supposed.

In spite of the popular Impression to the contrary, ships remote from the laud are seldom damaged by lightning, although some of the most awe inspiring displays of atmospheric electricity are frequently witnessed by those on board of them.

Standing rigging and even parts of the running gear are now made of steel wire, and this substitute for the old fashioned hemp serves the purpose of lightning conductor wben the ship Is not fitted with such an aid to safety. The electric current la conveyed down the wire rigging and reaches the sea through the vessel's metal bull. Damage occurs only If the current be Interrupted on Its way down. In a comparatively large proportion of instances the fore royal truck Is struck by lightning, that of the main less frequently and the mlzzen least of tbe three.

Very serious casualties under this head occurred to warships and merchant vessels in the days of wooden hulls and hempen tigging. In July, 1802, as thirteen sailing vessels of the Bast India company were trying to round the cape In the vicinity of Algoa bay, homeward bound, two of them, the Britannia and the Bombay Castle, were struck by lightning. The t<m- mast of each was soon enveloped In flames, and the mast* had to be cut away In order to save the ships and their combustible cargoes. A heavy gale waa blowing, the night was dark and the other ships of the fleet, which were hove to at the time, were witnesses of this thrilling Incident.

Many vessels are now fitted with lightning conductors of approved type* lest the wire rigging should fail to carry off the electric current. In May, 1896, shortly after a severe thunder- storm, accompnnled by lightning and rain, in 3 degrees south, 87 degrees east, the P. and O. steamship Victoria had a sudden Increase of deviation amounting to 6 degreea in both the standard and the wheelhouse com- passes, and later It waa discovered that the lightning conductor on the fore bad fused. Tbe ship must have bee* struck by lightning during the storm—

HOUSEHOLD COLUMN How to Drew a Turkey

When buying the Thanksgiving turkey have the batcher remove the leg sinews, as this will render the drumsticks tender and eatable; it can be done with a fork, but it is difficult.

Put two tablespoonfuls of alcohol in a saucer, light it over and singe the bird; this is much better than paper, as it does not blacken the skin.

Cut off the feet below the joint; after roasting, the jagged bones can be broken off, leaving the leg ends white.

Cut off the head as close to the bill end as possible. Slit the neck skin along the backbone as far as the shoulders. Draw it back and pull out the crop and windpipe; then cut off the neck close to the body. The long flap of skin is to be folded over the back, leaving the breast unmarred.

Make a slit just below the breast bone, insert two fingers, and loosen all the organs from the sides of the cavity. Firmly grasp the gizzard, the largest organ, and pull steadily out- ward. Cut around the vent, thus removing the intestines intact. Ex- amine the cavity, making sure that all bits of the lungs are removed, as well as the kidneys.

If properly done, all that is now needed is to waac out the cavity with a wet cloth. .Cut out the oil sack, just above the tail, and wipe the skin well. Put a few spoonfuls of stuffing under the breast skin and fill the body cavity, drawing the edges of the latter together with a few stitches.

A trussing needle looks like a darning needle, about twelve inches long. Have ready some firm, stout twine in about one yard lengths. Draw the neck flap over the back and fasten with a stitch of the threaded needle. Turn the wings so that the tips are under the fowl.

Run the threaded needle straight through the wings and body, entering and coming out above the bone of the second joint. Take a parallel return stitch, bringing the twine under the same bone. Pull the twine tight and tie, leaving ends three inches long hanging.

Push the legs against the body, take a second stitch, going over the thigh bone; in returning run the needle under the bone. For the third stitch, pass through the ends of the legs and return through the fleshiest part.—-Atlanta Journal.

Receipts Worth Trying

Buttermilk Griddle Cakes—There is a prevalent fashion now for consu- ming buttermilk for one's health and the beauty of one's skin. The popular way of using it is to make it into griddle cakes. It is a mistake to strain the buttermilk. The housekeeper who does this loses a good deal of richness. It is right to leave the little flecks of butter in it. A pint of buttermilk and a half pint of clab- bered milk are mixed together. Enough flour is stirred in to make a stiff batter. This is well beaten until it is smooth, a teaspoonful of soda finely powdered and well stirred into a gill of flour. This is beaten well into the batter, and enough buttermilk is added to make it about the consistency of buckwheat cakes.—N. Y. Times.

Can Bartlett Pears whole—One peck of pears, ripe and hard and two pounds of sugar. After done will make just four quart cans full. Peel the pears and put in cold water so that they won't turn yellow. Put in your kettle two pounds of sugar, one and one-half cups of water and let come to a good boil; then add your pears and let come to a slow boil. Be careful and not break them. Cook until you find them soft by putting a fork in them. Take each one out carefully into your jars and fill full to top with the juice and pears and can hot.

Tomato Soy Catsup (an old south ern receipt)—Take a bushel of ripe tomatoes skin and cut them in slices; sprinkle the bottom of a large tub with salt, put in a layer of tomatoes, more salt, more tomatoes, until all are in the tub; cover the top with siiced onions, let stand three days; put into a large kettle, and boil slowly tor eight hours stirring occasionally to prevent the tomatoes sticking. Take off the fire and set to cool over night; press through a coarse wire sieve, add one ounce of ground cloves, two of allspice, two of black pepper, four pods of red pepper and two ounces of ground mace and cinnamon mixed; let boil slowly for four hours. Let cool, put in glass or stone jars and seal. This soy is excellent for seasoning sauces and gravies.

Beef Stew—Two pounds of beef, the round, flank, or any cheap part (if there is a bone in it, 2 1-2 pounds will be required), 1 onion, 2 slices of carrot, 2 of turnip, 2 potatoes, 3 tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper to taste and a generous quart of water. Cut all the fat from the meat and put it in a stewpan, fry gently for 10 or 15 minutes. In the meantime cut the meat in small pieces and season well with salt and pepper, and then sprinkle over it two tablespoons of flour. Cut the vegetables in very small pieces and put in the pot with the fat. Fry them five minutes, stirring well to prevent burning. Now put in the meat and move it about in the pot until it begins to brown, then add the quart of boiling water. Cover, let it boil up once, skim, and set back where it will just bubble for 2 1-2 hours. Add the potatoes, cut in thin slices, and one tablespoonful of flour, mixed smooth with half a cupful of cold water, pouring about one-third of the water on the flour at first and adding the rest when perfectly smooth. Taste to see if the stew is seasoned enough, and if it is not add more salt and pepper. Let the stew come to a boil again and cook ten minutes, then add dumplings. Cover tightly and boil rapidly ten minutes longer. Mutton, lamb or veal can be cooked in this manner. When veal Is used fry out two slices of pork, as there will not be much fat on the meat Lamb and mutton should have lome of the fat put aside as there is so much on these meats that it makes them too rich.

New Telephone Methods on Toll Business

The New England Telephone Com- pany will' put new toll operating methods into effect in Andover on Friday, November 13th.

The Company states that the new system will mean a considerable saving of time to Andover subscribers. It is claimed that about a minute will be saved on every call between Andover and Boston.

After Friday when a subscriber wishes to make a toll call, to any but neighboring exchanges he will be connected directly with a toll operator in Lawrence who will handle the call just as though it originated with a subscriber in Lawrence. Under the old arrangement, Andover had direct :ircuits only to Lawrence and Bos- ton. Under the new system, Andover subscribers will not only get the benefit of the new apparatus which has just been installed in Lawrence, but will also have access to the large number of trunk lines which run from the Lawrence office direct to Boston and all other important paints in the Com- pany's territory.

The method of handling calls between Andover and neighboring exchanges will remain practically the same as it is now. A subscriber wish- ing a party in Lawrence, for instance, will simply give his operator the exchange name and number of the party he wants to talk to; this operator will connect him with the called party without the assistance of a toll operator. The subscriber on such calls will not have to remove the receiver from his ear. In fact, it is the Com- pany's intention to handle such calls in tbe same way that local calls are handled, the difference being, of course, that a trunk circuit is used between the two exchanges.

The Company will make whatever changes are necessary to put the new method into effect without disturbing the subscribers service in any particular.

Cross Lectures

The first of a series of three lectures was given last Tuesday evening at the Stone chapel. The subject of the lecture was "The Splendors of the Alps" and was illustrated by slides made from photographs taken by Mr. Cross. The lecturer spoke in the most entertaining manner of the Alpine scenery and the customs and characteristics of the Swiss. There was a good attendance at the lecture.

THE SEASON'S ENTERTAINMENT THE BOSTON SHOW

Otis Skinner in Boston

That admirable actor, Otis Skinner, has achieved a very genuine and em- phatic success with his new play, "The Honor of the Family", at the beautiful Colonial Theatre in Boston, where he is attracting large and fashionable audiences. Mr. Skinner's success is all the more gratifying because it has been honestly earned. No actor before the public is more sicerely devoted to his art and more painstaking in perfecting every detail of his production. Otis Skinner is a ?;reat Boston favorite and always aces large and responsive audiences

at the Colonial Theatre, and his own personal success in the Balzac play is unequivocal. As the swaggering hero, Philippe Bridau, Mr. Skinner leaves no margin for hyper-criticism. A great character is this Napoleonic adventurer, as presented by the actor. Philippe Bridau bears a distinct family resemblance to Petruchio, D'Ar- tagnan and Robert Macaire, but although he is a sort of compound of these three fascinating fellows, he is individual in the highest degree and has no prototype in stage fiction.

Not only is "The Honor of the Family" admirable in respect to the work of the star, but all of the com- panion players in the supporting company contribute to an even and harmonious representation. Albert Garcia Andrews, who was for fifteen years prominent in the support of Richard Mansfield, gives a most graphic study of the sexagenarian celibate. One can almost imagine the shade of Balzac from the depths of one of the stage boxes noiselessly applauding with ghostly hands ' this characterization of Mr. Andrews. Miss Percy Haswell is the leading woman in Mr. Skinner's organization this season.

There will be a special Thanks- giving Day matinee at the' Colonial.

Coining Sportsmen's Show

The "Sportsmen's Show", as the exhibition of the New England Forest, Fish and ame Association has become to be generally known to the people of New England, will be held this year in the Mechanics Building, Huntington Avenue, beginning De- cember 24, 1908, and ending January 5, 1909. It promises to be the most ambitious exhibition ever held under the auspices of this organization of gentlemen so deeply interested in all that concerns "sport" of the highest class The exhibits will be so numerous and so artistically arranged that the> entire building,—-Grand, Exhibi- tion, Paul Revere and the other halls —and the several basements will be utilized. Among some of the principal features of the show will be an indoor rifle shooting tournament, under the auspices of the National .Rifle Association of America; an athletic carnival, a fly and bait cast- ing tournament and a new and superb series of moving pictures of fishing, .hunting and other outdoor scenes.

Mr. Richard E. Follett is the general manager and he is being ably assisted by the following large committee of the directors: John E. Thayer, Frank G Webster, Charles H.

Thanksgiving Proclamation

Gov. Curtis Guild, Jr., yesterday issued his proclamation, making Thursday, November 26, Thanks- giving day. The proclamation follows:

"Earnest and sincere belief in divine guidance, deep-rooted faith that even present apparent evil must ultimately convert to good, upheld the founders of New England through trials that elsewhere utterly destroyed settlements ma<ie by men lets com- fdetely convinced of their pwa duty, ess deeply trustful of divine wisdom.

Not for ease, but for strength was the prayer of the Puritan, and in his firayer he disciplined his soul by seek- ng cause less for repining than for

praise. "In accordance with the beautiful

custom which, since Gov. Bradford called the colonists together after their first harvest, has yearly set sside a day at this season for the special acknowledgement of the mercies vouchsafed to us, I, therefore, with the advice and consent of the honorable council, appoint Thursday, Nov. 26, as a day for the giving of thanks to Almighty God.

"In our testimony of gratitude for evil escaped or good achieved, whether we bear it by spoken word in the house of worship or in the quiet communings of our own hearts, let us not forget reverently to ac- knowledge the blessings of peace.

"Peace has entered among the nations. The long impending crisis that was to drench Europe with blood has passed. There has come with it not war, but the liberation of a patient and ancient race from a yoke centuries old. The white fleet of our country bears our flag to the orient and to the South Seas, but that there ever was a prophecy of the exasperation of enemies is forgotten in a world- wide revelation of friends.

"To the ancient sources of bar- baric assault on civilization, the regions of immemorial oppression, the land's of the Scythian, the Persian, the Turk and the Tartar, has come the gospel of popular freedom, not license, is peace.

"Peace is spread among the creeds. The old races, the mingling of whose blood swells the veins of the new, virile, strong American race, have brought to this soil varing methods of worship, but the old intolerance is gone forever. Every year men quarrel less and less over the difference in the manner of their devotions. Every year with a greater measure of mutual respect, comes the deeper sense of brotherhood under the same Divine Father.

"May this great gift of peace abide. May it never be confounded with servility or sloth. As war is death, so peace is life. May we reverently use it not each for himself alone, but each for his least fortunate neighbor, that he, too, may revel in life and enjoy it more abundantly.

"Given at the council chamber, this fourth day of November, the year of Our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and eight, and of the independence of the United.States of America, the one hundred and thirty-third.

"CURTIS GUILD, Jr.

"By His Excellency the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Council.

WILLIAM M. OLIN, Secretary "God save the Commonwealth of

Massachusetts."

ANDOVER-EXETER GAME (Continued from Pace 5)

The Rev. Dr. John Denison Kings- bury, special representative of the executive board of the Home Missionary Society of the United States and the first special representative of the board to be sent into Cuba at the close of the Spanish-American war, died at his home on Church street, Bradford district, Wednesday, from heart disease.

Dr. Kingsbury was one of the best known Congregational ministers in the United States, having been engaged for the last seven years as special representative and as superintendent for the district embracing Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. He has travelled throughout the United States in his official capacity and was known in every Congregational society in the country.

Dr. Kingsbury was well known in Andover, where he had preached and taken part in church work for many years. He was also a trustee of Brad- ford Academy and greatly interested in all educational work.

A Remarkable Horse at Andover

Mr. George W. Chandler, of An- dover, Massachusetts, has a remarkable horse named Nell, used by him in the wood and coal business, and this is what the horse does. When in the morning she is hitched to her coal cart first she walks nearly an eighth of a mile to a drinking fountain without any direction or assistance, and takes all the water she cares for, then of her own accord she goes by another street to the railroad depot, crosses the tracks, passes up to the side track where the coal cars are, and backs up to the car from which her cart is loaded by the man in charge. All this is done without any assistance or direction whatever from any human being.

—From Our Dumb Animals

kick off with the favoring wind from the south-west. At 2.13 Exeter kicked to Large and the game was on.

During the first half the style of play of both teams was about the same. Both were apparently well drilled in offensive formations to meet a line plunging game, and the backs were sent into the line in vain and a kick was forced. And these kicks were both well defended and well handled and the ends, particularly Coates and Paine, got down the field and tackled clean and hard. In- deed, the hard sure tackling was one of the strong assets of both elevens.

When the teams came back for the second half the Andover players went in with a snap and dash that would not be denied. Porter kicked off and Exeter elected to punt, but Porter fumbled and Sharon got the ball. Again Exeter could not gain and an onside kick went to Andover. Ely got a good gain, but Porter punted to the Exeter quarter. Lewis tried in vain to get past the blue line and when he tried to punt Fletcher blocked the ball and was downed but two yards from the goal line. A mass play at left guard gave Andover a yard and on the next play Porter went over the line. A moment later he kicked the goal and Andover had the advantage, 6-0.

Andover now seemed to put more speed into the play and Exeter seemed at a loss to solve the varied plays before substantial gains were made. A pretty forward pass accom- plished the second score. Exeter had fumbled on the 50-yard line and on the next play Porter shot the ball to Ely who sprinted 50 yards through a broken field and crossed the goal line. Porter again kicked the goal.

The wind-up of the game was a punting duel, which seemed to be intended only to kill the remaining time of play. Ely varied the play by taking another forward pass over for a touchdown, but the play was not allowed. ANDOVER EXETER Coates, le re, Faulkner Pierce, It rt, Mitchell J.

The Celebration

The Andover students gave ven,t to their joy over the football victory with an enthusiastic celebration on Saturday night. Headed by the local band about 500 pajama-clad marchers paraded through the main streets of the town burning red fire and cheer- ing and singing. The homes of the members of the faculty were visited, where speeches were made commend- ing the spirit of the team and the school. Coach Lillard was accorded enthusiastic praise for his work with the team and Trainer Peet was commended for his handling of the team. The celebration wound up with a bon- fire at which the members of the team made speeches.

Football Captain

Last Saturday night the members of the Philips Academy team elected F. R. Large, '10, captain of next year's team. Large has played center on two victorious teams and is considered a strong, heady player. His home is in North Tonawanda, N. Y.

Former Andover Players

Many old Andover men will take part in the big football games tomorrow. In the Harvard—Dartmouth game, Burr and McKay of Harvard and Schildmiller and Driver of Dart- mouth are expected to play, and at Princeton, Dillon, the Tiger captain, and Murphy, Daly, Hobbs, Andrus, and Kilpatrick of Yale will all doubtless get into that big game.

PUNCHARD SCHOOL FOOTBALL LOCAL TEAM HAD TWO HARD

GAMES THIS WEEK

Death

In Andover, November 19, of bronchitis, Annie A., daughter of John and Isabella McKenne Collier, aged sixteen months.

Last Tuesday afternoon the Pun- chard football team was defeated at Glen Forest by the Lawrence High eleven. It was a hard, clean played game of football and the score 17-0 shows just about the strength of the teams as they lined up on Tuesday. The local boys put up a stubborn battle but could not hold in check the powerful line plunges of the Law- rence team. Higgins, the fullback of the winning team was used in this line smashing game and seldom failed to make his distance. Smith was the particular star of the Punchard team. He gathered in Yule's kicks and ran them back for good gains.

The first score of the game came late in the first half. Lawrence had carried the ball down the field -to the 5 yard line and here Punchard put up a splendid defence and took the ball on downs. Smith fell back to punt but the pass was too high and a bunch of Lawrence players shot through and Greene fell on the ball.

Lawrence began her next march for a score as the result of a blocked kick on the 40 yard line and in a few straight plunges took the ball over. The last score was made during the last few minutes of play. Punchard fought hard to the ejM and ■ Law- rence needed three routes to carry the ball the last three' yards for a score.

One atheletic event which the townspeople now look forward to every year is the football game between the Punchard and Exeter High school teams. Last Saturday these teams met on the playstead in a hard game in which' neither was able to score. The large crowd which attended saw a good, hard played, clean game.

The teams were very evenly matched and both had excellent opportunities to score but the defence would stiffen when either goal line was in danger.

The Punchard boys resorted to skin tackle plays for most of their gains, for Exeter was strong on the ' ends and had little difficulty in breaking up any attempts for a forward pass. Exeter, too, depended on straight plays to advance the ball, though during the latter part of the game they appeared played out and kicked at every opportunity.

Dwyer, M. Houston, I. Houston and Roodes excelled for.Exeter, while Boland, Rhodes, Lindsay, Towne, Smith and Anderson played well for Punchard.

Free Church Men's Club

The first meeting of the Men's club of the Free church for this season was held Tuesday night, and the following officers were elected: Charles Clark, president; Thomas David, vice - president ; William Coutts, secretary; Charles McOcr- mott, treasurer; John W. Bell, auditor; James Anderson, David S. Lind- say, William M. Coutts, executive committee.

The Andover Natural History society met last Tuesday evening in the school committee rooms. An interesting talk was given by William G. Goldsmith on the Indian earthworks at Pomp's pond, Carter's Hill and Haggett's pond, and F. H. Foster read an instructive paper on forestry in this and other countries.

At the meeting of the Young La- dies' club of the Free church last Tuesday, Miss Sprague gave an interesting talk.

At the regular meeting of Andover lodge, I. O. O. F., held last Wednes- day evening the second degree was worked on eight candidates. The degree team from Hope lodge in Me- thuen assisted in the work.


Baptist Church Notes

Before addressing the union service at the Free church last Sunday evening, Rev. Joseph Clark, of Ikoko, Africa, spoke to the Baptist Y. P. S. C. E., telling of many interesting things in connection with his life and work during the past twenty-eight years. Some of his experiences were very thrilling.

A Chinese social was given to the Home Department of the Sunday- school last Tuesday evening. About thirty members were ...welcomed by the Superintendent and the Visitors, and the evening passed pleasantly. An autograph contest helped all to get acquainted with each other, and a conundrum hunt provoked much merriment. Recitations were received with great applause, and all the entertainment, literary and otherwise, was enjoyed by every one.

Some Chinese decorations, and a much-admired exhibition of beautiful Chinese embroidery, fans, and photographs, helped carry out the idea of a Chinese social. Towards the end of the evening, all partook of bountiful refreshments, and after a little singing, the people dispersed.

Mrs. N. N. Bishop, of Boston, will speak in the Baptist church next Sun- day evening, at 7.15, on Immigration. All are cordially invited to hear this pleasing speaker.

The Andover Mothers' Club held a meeting, Friday, Nov. 13, in the Kin- dergarten rooms of the Samuel Jack- son school with a good attendance.

After the usual business pertaining to the club was executed, Miss Graves, a teacher in the kindergarten of the schools, gave a highly interesting talk of her visit to California during the past summer.

Miss Graves is a pleasant speaker, and as she portrayed to her audience the glories of that beautiful country she visited, again she traveled in imagination, through the Hoosac tunnel, by the Gerat Lakes, by vast fields of wheat and corn, over the Rockies and alkaline plains, into the Golden West. The country is truly named, as during the talk many "true to nature" post? cards were used in illustration and passed to the members of the club to view.

The cards displayed the beautiful flower foliage and vegetable life of this country, also scenes of the wonderful mountain ranges and the famous ostrich farm.

On the return trip, her audience traveled with her, north, to the state of Washington, visited the grounds of the proposed Alaska-American Ex- position of 1909, over the boundary into British Territory, by the Great Divide, thence to Montreal, and home once more to Boston.

Miss Graves was fortunate in being able to read the tablet which marks the Great Divide.

Several post cards illustrated this portion of her itinerary.

The Mothers' Clubs of the town have had the pleasure before of hearing Miss Graves. On her return from a trip to New Orleans last Spring she gave an interestingly descriptive talk on the Southern country.

The Andover Mothers' Club appreciate the privilege of having Miss Graves in their midst and hope the near future holds new lands for her to travel, that they may hear of them so thoroughly. During the social time, tea and cake were served by Mrs. Ralph, chairman, Mrs. White, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Franklin and Mrs. Buchan.

Mrs. Wm. Scott was drawn to serve as chairman for the December tea.

SOME NOTES OP INTEREST TO TOWNSMAN READERS

ON ELECTRICITY

Capital to the amount of $38,031,000 is invested in electric railways in Michigan.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul is to install telephones for train dispatching.

At the recent test of the new tungsten incandescent lamps one was burned continuously for 3537 hours.

The Danish inventor, Professor Poulson, has succeeded in sending the human voice 200 miles by wireless.

Two years ago the Chinese government had a system of 22,149 miles of telegraph lines and a submarine cable of 946 miles, and 379 offices.

A regular service of electric omni- buses and electric cabs has been established in Mexico' City. The omni- buses go to parts not reached by the electric cars and the cabs do a general passenger business.

Lightning is practically the sole cause of interruptions to long-distance electrical transmission. A new aluminum cell lightning arrester has Deen invented by a General Electric En- gineer which is said to greatly reduce the lightning annoyance.

An enterprising inventor has brought out an electrically-heated bath robe. This garment is heated by a large number of fine wires woven in the cloth which become warm when connected with the electric light socket. A switch in one of the pockets controls the heat.

The leading trucking companies of New .York City are using heavy electric trucks instead of horse trucks. Not only do these trucks carry three times as much as the old ones but they do the work much quicker. The storage batteries hold enough power to do ten hours of hard service.

Tantalum, the metal used in the new tantalum incandescent lamps, is so hard that a diamond drill re- volving on a sheet of the metal for three days barely left a mark. In- candescent lamps made from this rare metal give nearly half as much more light for the same cost as the ordinary lamps.

Wireless telegraphy has lately been improved to take down messages automatically. Heretofore a man had to be in the receiving station to take down the messages as they came along. Now the receiving machine is fixed to give a series of sparks which are recorded on a slow moving photograph film.

A New York chicken farmer fat- tens his chicks by electricity. The hen houses are all brilliantly illumi- nated with arc lights and at intervals during the night the lights are turned on and the misguided fowls, thinking it is daylight, fly off the roosts and eat. This plan is also said to coax an extra egg or two away from the deluded hens.

Arc lamps for store lighting are being superseded by the tungsten clus- ters. The tungsten incandescent lamps, while cheaper than any other electric light, also give the nearest substitute for sunlight as all colors can be matched under the clear, white rays. By grouping six or eight of these tungsten lamps under a ceiling diffuser the General Electric Company has produced a new lamp for illu- minating stores and other places of business which is far ahead of all arc lights for this purpose.

It has long been the dream of naval men to find a substitute for the glass mirrors in searchlights. The heat of the arc and the concussion of the guns often shatters these mirrors. Now a new mirror Is being made for this purpose by the electrolytic process. A thin silver film is deposited on the convex side of a glass mould. This is put in an electrolytic machine and copper deposited on the silver until it reaches the desired thickness, then the glass is removed leaving the meal mirror.

The Grand Rapids-Muskegon Pow- er Company has raised the voltage of its transmission lines to 125,000 volts —the highest in the world.

In northern California a run of eels in the rivers and creeks completely blocked the turbine water wheels in several power plants. No way was found to get rid of the pests until one of .the engineers caused a wire

LEFT Oil HER DOORSTEP FOR THIS MOTHER

Mm. A. O. Tuson, of Llvermore, C*L, writes: "I picked up from my doorstep one day a little book In which I soon became very much interested. My little girl of five years of age had been troubled for a long time with loss of appetite, extreme nervousness and undue fatigue. She was all run- down and in a very delicate condition.

"This little book was very compre- hensively written, and told of the new method of extracting the medicinal elements of the cod's liver from the oil, eliminating the obnoxious oil which is ao hard for children to take.

" 'Just the thing,' said I, for my little daughter,' and I immediately went for a bottle of Vtnol. It helped her wonderfully. She has gained rapidly in flesh and strength, and she does not take cold halt so easily.

"I am extremely grateful for the good it has done her, and I hope other mothers who hare weak, delicate or ailing children will be benefited by my experience and Just give Vlnol a trial.''

screen to be lowered in the water and charged with several thousand volts. The dead eels were hauled away in wagons and buried.

On the British battleship Dread- naught, which has created so much discussion and speculation, the electric outfit is unusually complete. At the top of the foremast, and immediately above the forward funnel, is the fire control platform, upon which are placed the range finders, for locating the position of an enemy or target at sea. In the turrets and on this platform is installed a new automatic system of range finding and gun ele- vating, by means of which the range as read will be electrically trans- mitted to each gun position, where, by the use of synchronized motors, the elevation of the guns will be steadily and continuously changed to correspond with the increasing or decreasing range, as recorded by the range finder on the platform. This method is said to remove all possibility of error in the transmission of information as to the ranges and in the manual elevation of the guns, and leaves to the gun crew merely the duty of traversing the guns, and thus keeping them fixed on the enemy. The lofty fore topmast places the fore truck fully 200 ft. above the water line. A short main mast is carried in the usual position, mainly for the support of the antennae of the wireless telegraph equipment.

Who Owns the Corporations?

An interesting article in the New York Sunday Times calls attention to the fact that the large railroad and industrial corporations of the United States are owned by no less than 2,000,000 persons. "Four years ago the railroads were owned by 350,000 shareholders," says this article. "Now there are 500,000 owners who share the $300,000,000 disbursed in divi- dends. The shareholders' average income of $600 a year is just equal to the average earnings of the $1,500,- 000 workers on the railroads who receive $900,000,000 wages a year."

The article points out that everyone who has a savings account in a bank or an insurance policy are in- direct owners of many large corporations, since funds of the institutions are invested in stocks and bonds.

It is pointed out that forty capital- ists own less than one-tenth of the stock of the Bell Telephone companies; the other nine-tenths being distributed among more than 24,000 investors. The average number of shares held by the Bell stockholders is 75, and the annual income per shareholder is $600. It is shown that following the fall of. stock prices in the 1907 panic the number of shareholders in the large railroads and industrial corporations in the country increased by the remarkable proportion of 38 per cent. This shows that thousands of persons of moderate means improved the opportunity for investment by buying when prices were cheap.

Referring to the new era in the conduct of large corporations where- in publicity is the distinctive note, the Times says: "Corporations that a short while ago were afraid to make public the most ordinary details of their business now devote large sums of money to pay. for the publication of news about their operations. The Bell Telephone, for example, is now as well advertised as a breakfast food or a soap."

Essex County Teachers' Association

The convention of the Essex county Teachers' Association, which was held in Peabody, last Friday, will probably be the last which will be held in that town. The attendance was about 400 less than in previous years, and numbered 1500 or 1600 during the day. The reason for this was that Lawrence has temporarily withdrawn from the association, being dissatisfied with Peabody as a place of meeting. That city has about 200 teachers.

At the business meeting Mr. Parker of Lynn called attention to the break in the association at Lawrence and said that other places anticipated withdrawn from the association, De- ments can be ma'de. In view of this fact he moved that the next session of the association be held in Boston. In seconding the motion, Mr. Ewart of Salem said the association was not dissatisfied with the treatment it had received in Peabody, but with some of the inconveniences. He thought Salem was the most central place in the county for the convention. Some discussion followed, but not as much as was anticipated Judging from the applause which greeted the motion, the large majority was favorable for a change of place.

It was finally voted that the secretary have a ballot prepared and distributed among the teachers through the school superintendents not later than Jan. 1, on which they can express their vote on the question whether the next convention shall be held in Boston, and if not in Boston, whether it shall be held in Peabody. The directors will ascertain the cost and it will be stated on the ballot.

It is very probable tftat the association will vote against going there again, for the present, at least. It has met in Peabody every year continuously for about 10 years. The town has charged nothing for the use of the hall, and the main reason for the convention being held there was the size of the hall, as it is said to have a larger seating capacity than any other hall in the county. This convention is larger than any other held in the county and there are probably few in the state, counting the state political conventions, that are larger, there being about 2000 teachers at a fully attended convention. It would be a problem in any place outside of Boston to feed that number at noon at regular hotels or eating saloons. They have been taken care of in Peabody by the church societies which have furnished excellent dinners for 50 cents or less

Finishing Paper by Hand

is a slow and tedious process, nevertheless this is the method by which the beautiful fabric finish is imparted to the celebrated EATON, CRANE & PIKE Writing Papers.

The secret of the excellence of these well-known papers is that in their manufacture, quality is made paramount to quantity. The best materials (clean, unused linen and cotton cuttings) are used, and every sheet is carefully inspected for flaws and impurities.

In every box of EATON, CRANE A PIKE Writing Paper one sheet is as good as another, and all are the very best.

HER AUTHORITY WAS COMPLETE

Dowager Empress Ruled China's Millions For Years

DEATH FORMALLY ANNOUNCED Passed Away Soon After Emperor,

Who Died Without Kevins; Received

Medical Cara-*Dominatlng and

Magnetic Woman Violated Consti-

tution of the Dynasty and Broke

Sacred Customs

Peklu, Nov. 16.—Tsze Hsl An, Dow- ager Empress of Cblna, the autocratic head of the government, which she directed without successful Interference since 1861 and without protest since 1881, died at 2 o'clock .yesterday after- soon.

The announcement of the dowager empress' death was official and followed closely upon the announcement that Kuang-Hsu, the emperor, had died Saturday at 5 o'clock In the afternoon, but it Is believed that the death of both the emperor and the dowager empress occurred s considerable time before that set down In the official statements.

An edict Issued yesterday morning placed upon the throne Prince Pn Yl, the 8-year-old son of Prince Cbnn, the regent of the empire, in accordance with a promise given by the dowager empress soon after the marriage of Prince Chun In 1808. An edict Issued on Friday made Pn-YI heir presump- tive.

The foreign legations were notified by the foreign board of the death of the emperor and the snccesslon of Prince Pn-YI. Troops have been In readiness for several days to quell any disorders that might arise on the death of Kuang- Hsu. Prince Ohun, the regent, has ordered the viceroys and governors to take precautions for the continuation of the administration of the provinces as heretofore, and he has ordered a hundred days of mourning. The court will go Into mourning for three years.

Deathbed observances of 8000 yean ago marked the passing of the emperor and dowager empress. They died alone and unattended, although surrounded by circles of abject spectators, who remained a rod distant as, on account of the sscred persons of their majesties, they could not be approached. The emperor died as he had lived. For months he had refused to permit the services of foreign physicians and be died without having received medical care.

Tszf Hsl An, or "western empress," wss born Nov. 17, 1834. She was the child of poor people who lived In Pekln. At an early age, following a common practice in China, she was sold as a slave by her parents on account of their poverty. She became the property of a famous general who, en- chanted with her great beauty, adopted her and offered her as a present to the reigning emperor, Hslen-Feng. She so charmed the emperor that he made her his secondary wife, and on her bearing him a son, the future Emperor Tung-Chin, raised her to the first rank. On his death she became the regent of the empire, administering the national affairs with more vigor than any of her predecessors.

Her authority was complete over about 14,000 officials and over the welfare and lives of the vast majority of the lnhabtants of China, wbo number close to 270,000.000.

She was law unto herself. She violated the constitution of the dynasty that forbids a woman ruler, and broke the sacred customs given by the sages. She relentlessly ordered all betrothals and marriages In the Imperial household, family and Imperial court and supervised scrupulously the conduct of individuals.

She entered the palace as an inferior concubine and authority came to her by virtue of fecundity. She became the mother of An emperor, and her political career began with the wholesale be- heading of princes In 1861 by which she established her son on the throne. A slaughter of reformers and others took place thirty-seven years later. Two years after this she deliberately, upon advice, set about slaughtering all Christians and foreigners, giving 100.- 000 taels toward carrying on the work.

The greatest of her political acts was the coup d'etat of 1888. In this sbe showed her power, combining craftiness and courage. She stooped to the role of reformer than she might con- quer, and when she had perfected the disguise she slaughtered the reformers and Incarcerated the emperor, in whose name she acted, keeping him a prisoner for nearly two years. Following this the championed the Boxer war, which proved to be the greatest stain upon the empire that It has had nnder Man- thus. •

She was regarded by the progres- sives, educated abroad, as China's greatest enemy, because she was the greatest obstacle to advancement.

they Are Outlined In Resolutions Adopted by Convention

Baltimore, Nov. 10.—The business sessions of the first annual convention of the Atlantic deep waterways convention, which began Tuesday morning, have come to a close. On* sf the most Important events of the convention was the adoption of resolutions which declare that the work proposed should be done by congressional appropriation as a permanent re- munerative national Improvement for the benefit of the whole people, and that the canals should be maintained by the government for the free use of all The resolutions which were adopted recommend:

It Is contemplated that the work be urged In each locality Independently, according to Its own conditions, escb lr provement to be made on its own merits. The whole, when linked by the existing waterways and raised to its greatest efficiency by the Improve- ment of present inland transportation facilities, will make a chain covering the Atlantic coast and avoiding several points now of great danger to shipping.

Tiie specific benefits. It is claimed, will be In enabling slippers to send their slow or bulk freight by Inland waters safely and enonomicaUy, reducing the cost of shipment to a minimum and ■caking possible the upbuilding of great Industrial communities all ' along the line.

DISPOSED OF IN RECORD TIME

Forger Sentenced Within Four Hours After His Arrest

LEADER IN GHIGA60 BUSINESS Real Estate Dealer Had Secured More

Than S700.000 Through Sale of

Forced Documents During; Pssl

Eighteen or Twenty Years, Having:

Psrfactsd a Unique Device For

Tracing Signatures

Chicago, Nov. 17.—Peter VanVllasin- gen, a real estate dealer, for years classed among the firat of Chicago's prosperous snd reputable business men. has confessed to having obtained, through forged deeds and notes, more than $700,000, and a few hours after his arrest, on his own urgent appeal to be punished, waa sentenced to the penitentiary.

The arrest, the Indictment, the confession and the sentence were the work of less than four hours. Taken in the midst of business from his office desk at 172 Washington street shortly after the noon hour, VsnVllssingen appeared before the court and In tears confessed that for from eighteen to twenty years he had been securing money- through the sale of forged documents and that though he bad bought back many of these spurious Instruments without detection, at least twenty-fire people wonld lose an aggregate of more than $700,000 through the paper which be has not yet redeemed.

In forging notes he declared he had perfected an unique device. This consisted of a plate glass desk top, so arranged that by an electric light thrown up from beneath he could readily trace from originals forged signatures onto worthless paper.

Throughout his arrest and sentence the prisoner made no effort to defend himself, but only asked that his punish- ment be speedy. Asked If be had anything to say before sentence was Im- posed, Vsn Vlleslngeh replied, bowing his head:

"Only that I believe In my punish- ment at once." His term In the penitentiary was fixed as Indeterminate. from one to fourteen years.

VanVlIsslngen, who Is about 45 years old, wss married Feb. 4, 1907, to Mrs. Jessie Roosevelt Blend, who wss described at the time as a distant relative of President Roosevelt Tbe bride was a daughter of Wilton C. Roosevelt and bad been divorced from a man named Blend. VanVlIsslngen had been a bachelor, living at the Calumet ciub. He was known as being of a philanthropic disposition, giving special attention to the welfare of boys.

The specific cbarge which led np to the spectacular arrest of VanVlIssln- gen was made by two men who had bought forged mortgage notes. They are T. J. Lefens snd W. C. Selpp, who have offices In the same building as that occupied by VanVlIsslngen. To the notes for $4500 held by them were signed the names of Joseph and Bertha Grossman. As was customary. Van Vilsslngen copied the forged papers from originals, which, he disposed of to ether buyers. Lefens and Selpp ssld tuey first became suspicious of the note last Saturday, but took no action until yesterday.

When confronted In bis office by a detective, VanVlIsslngen made no effort to conceal the truth. "Why am 1 wanted at the state attorney's office?" he asked.

"Because of some charges of for- gery," replied the detective.

"Very well," replied the real estate dealer. "I am afraid the charges are true." He then put on his hat and coat and followed the detective. In Assistant State Attorney Harbour's office he made a full confession snd signed the following:

"Chicago, Nov. 16,1908. "This Is to certify that I alone am

responsible for all the Irregularities that hare occurred In my office and that no one In my employ, or ever at any time In my employ, has any guilty knowledge of the Irregularities that have occurred at any time.

"Peter VanVlIsslngen."

DISHONESTY AND 6KEED

Disclosed by Commission Investigat- ing Hub's Muncipai Affaire

Boston, Nov. 16.—"A lamentable picture of dishonesty and greed Is disclosed," reports the finance commission In a report submitted to tbe mayor of lta Investigation of the purchasing of coal by the city, the contracts for fisgglng, the stone crusher contracts and the purchase of Fourth of July prises. The report further alleges that "absolute disregard of the city's Interests wss shown by a mayor, members of the board of aldermen, the common council, a former state senator snd a member of the house of representatives."

The complaint is especially against the absence of competitive bids for contracts covering purchases over $2000, as prescribed by law. During the year 1907 the commission finds that but 52 percent of such bids were advertised.

The commission recommends more general observance of the statute; an amendment making the limit above which contracts must be advertised st $1000: more general sollcltaton of competitive bids In esses under $1000, snd an amendment providing a penalty for violation of tbe statute "sufficient to cause a strict observance of the lew on tbe part of members of the city council."

Curious Political Pot Pourri

Two interesting developments of the week in state politics are noted in the Boston papers. The first is an agitation on the part of some very indescreet friends of the Lieutenant Governor-elect to enlarge upon the fact that he ran ahead of Candidate Draper in the vota he polled in the commonwealth. This has lead the Boston Journal to speak as follows:

"Lieutenant Governor-elect Frothing- ham should pray to be delivered from some of his friends. Inasmuch as he would have been beaten for the nomination by Speaker Cote had not the machine intervened and captured enough Cole delegates to win the fight, it was hardly fair to charge that the machine was suppressing the figures of the Frothingham vote.''

The particular referance of the Journal is to the rediculousness of vhe charge that the machine vv,as withholding the facts in the interest of Governor Draper. A further interesting point is that the two other candidates for Lieutenant-Govern or stated over and over again that they would agree to never be candidates for Governor if they failed to beat Mr. Draper at the polls by at least 20,000 votes. Nothing is better known in Massachusetts regarding politics, than the fact that Mr. Draper has always been cut severely, and always will be cut severely by many factors that make up the voting strength of the state. The causes of his success need not be dwelt upon in this connection, but it would indeed be a much weaker candidate than the purely negative gentleman who succeeded in the last contest, who could fail to get many more votes in the popular election than it is possible for Mr. Draper to secure.

The other matter of interest is associated with the election of the Pres- ident of the Senate, in which it is probable that this state has never seen such a bitter contest on the part of the corporate interests to defeat a man for this office. Coming quickly to the aid of these interests the voters at large may perhaps very wisely note the senior Senator of Massachusetts, whose power over, and control of, political affairs in the state is now absolute. It is therefore a matter of no surprise to learn that Senator Shaw of Essex is likely to be defeated. In accomplishing that defeat, however, some very interesting work is said to have been done by the man- ipulators of Massachusetts politics, and in the list of achievements t|he papers record an agreement on the part of those in control of the Repub- lican party to select for State Treas- urer next year Senator Stevens of Somerville.

The voters of the state have stood for a great deal in the past few years, even to making some deliveries where preliminary promises had been made, but we doubt very much if they will stand for the latest suggestion to put in control of the finances of Mass- achusetts a man whose training has never led him to see anything much bigger than a ten cent piece, and whose principal equipment has been the giving of lectures upon the relative values of breakfast foods. This reaches pretty nearly to the limit, and no one can seriously believe that even if the promise has been made, those who have made it will be foolish enough to attempt to keep it when the time comes.

Senator Stevens has made an excellent legislator. He is admirably fitted for certain kinds of public service, but he will hardly yet take his place among the great financers of the world, because he has had sufii- cient "gift of gab" to effectively defend state extravagances in political campaigns.

Editorial Cinders

What's this? What's this? The Boston Herald says:

"The Rev. Herbert S. Johnson of the Warren Avenue Baptist Church failed to answer a summons to the municipal court, yesterday, for alleged violation of automobile regulations. A second summons was issued, though usually a warrant for arrest is given."

Can it be possible that this distinguished corrector of all evils in the earth below, in the heavens above, and in the world at large has so far forgotten himself as to commit even one discretion and then to follow that indiscretion with an affront to the law enforcing powers? This matter should be referred forthwith to the society for the Prevention of Congo atrocities, or to the Order of the Anti-Right-to-Live Society, one of which should see that suitable resolutions are passed at once. ****

Every country community must naturally have a very generous interest in one of the recently established commissions. It is the commission on country life, working on the suggestion of the President with the idea of ascertaining what the country communities are needing today for a continuation of the developments that have been so marked in country districts in the past decade. It is one of the most hopeful signs of the times that the farmer and his kindred interests are arousing the attention of the government as never before. In this connection there is to be held next week in Boston a conference of Governors and leading officials to discuss several important questions. Along these same lines, Andover, with it's large territory has a deep interest in all this movement, and the writer feels particularly pleased that he is to be one of the delegates to participate in the Mass- achusetts conference.

FROM THE ORIENT INTERESTING TRAVEL STORY

BY AN ANDOVER PASTOR

The Rev. Frederick Palmer in his travels abroad has periodically written our townsman, Mr. Wm. M. Wood. Among his letters is the following very interesting one, which by Mr. Wood's permission the Townsman is able to place before its readers, and which they are sure to greatly enjoy.

Cairo, Egpyt, Oct. 30, 1908. My dear Mr. Woou:—

ihis is a new world in which 1 am writing, it is the old worki 01 the Arabian -\igtits, and almost everything in it is astonishingly and engag- ingly new to us. 1 am sure 1 saw Alaudin in the street this morning, omy ne was selling lruit-syrup to uruiK, and his brasses were cups instead of lamps. 1 here was a cry in tlie street unaer our windows yester- uay, and in a minute the street was full of men and boys running, shout- ing, beating with tneir sticks; and 1 have no uoubt they were beating the hunchback tailor. But three mounted English police appeared in their white ducic unitorms, sitting their horses calmly and ignoring the crowd, and the rabble melted away. It is the biggest kind 01 circus simply to watcn me passers-oy. m-re a man in a white flowing robe and red fez sits far astern on a bit of a donkey, while me creature keeps up his half-walk, half-trot. There a string of three camels stalks slowly along, their noses scornfully held high, their Hankjs hidden by huge bundles of green fodder corn, a boy with brown SKull-cap, Muttering blue robe, and bare legs, leading the head camel. An Egyptian woman passes, with the lower half of her face covered by a thin white veil or yashmak; or a xurkish married woman swathed in black, with a black yashmak and gilded nose-horn. It is only occasionally that one sees in the streets the European dress on either man or woman.

But if what human beings wear is strange, what they have built is equally so. We have been in mosques, varying from the old, simple, almost shed of Arur, where our dragoman, Mohammed Hassan, touched the ground with his forehead as he said his prayers in our presence this noon, to the magniheent mosque of Mohammed Ali, its rive domes gilded within and adorned with texts from the Koran and its floor covered with rugs so thick and long that any one of them would be the making of a salon.

And yesterday a childish dream of mine was fulfilled, for 1 stood beside the Pryamids and rode on a camel. The great masses of yellow-brown stone rose out of the yellow-brown desert, and from the top of the one we ascended " (the Miss Williamses and 1; Mrs. Palmer did not go up) you looked down on the whole land of Egypt lying at your feet and, stretching into the misty distance. Here was the strip of green along the river, now inundating the fields, and on each side the brown and grey desert rising into low mountains.

Ascending the Pyramid was not so difficult as 1 had imagined. There were three Arabs to each person— one at each hand and one behind to push—and several supernumeraries, whose main function was to receive tips afterwards. Though the bargain had been made beforehand by our trusty dragoman, each Arab whispered to you confidentially that he wished to receive something "from your own hand." The beggars here are like flies—they mean business and stick to their aim. If you wish to refuse a beggar courteously, you say "Al Allah", "I commit you to God." If he does not go away then, you call him—if you possess Arabic enough— a son of the Evil One, and bid him to go to his father, or words to that effect. What he replies is probably tit for tat; but I don't understand enough to appreciate the flavor of the curse.

But I haven't told you how we came to this wonderful land. 1 wrote you last from Rome. The next day we took train for Naples, spent a night there, and collected our trunks, which we had forwarded on landing at Cher- bourg and also from Paris, and re- packed them for Egypt and for home. We then set out on a three- day trip, the carriage-drive from Amalti to Sorrento, along the shores of the Gulf of Salerno, to the south of -Naples. Here we met our first bit of ill luck. The first day was bright and glorious, and we were exuberant as we drove in our two-horse comfortable landau along this wonderful road cut into the sides of the mountains, with the Mediterranean at bur feet. It is said to be one of the most beautiful drives of the world. We had been assured of having pleasant weather, as it had not rained here for four months. But the next morning the clouds • looked doubtful. Then when we had got well started, it began to drizzle, then to rain, and then to pour. So for three hours we drove around headlands and through ra- vines, saying, "Oh, if it were only pleasant!" But the next day when we were intending to visit Sorrento and Capri, that surely would be pleasant! Yet the next day it poured still worse. And instead of crossing the beautiful Bay of Naples in a little steamer, as we had expected, we had to betake ourselves ignominiously to trolley and steam cars and hurry back to Naples, for the next day we were due on the S. S. "Preussen" of the North German Lloyd, to sail at noon for Alexandria. I had supposed the Mediterranean was always blue and smooth as the poets and painters made it. But it was for two days blacker and rougher and with higher waves than-we had found on the At- lantic. There was a third day of clear sky and smooth sailing before we reached Alexandria; and as we were half a day late—three days and a half in all—owing to the head wind, we reached the port too late to land and had to spend a fourth night aboard. Then the next morning the strangeness of the Orient burst full

upon us, a Babel of dark-skinned, I flowing - robed, red - fezzed porters | clamoring around the gangway as if I they were starting a revolution and I through streets where little shops had signs in Greek and Arabic; where men were angrily enjoying it. Then a ride were tinkering, tailoring, eating their breakfast, playing dominoes—all on the open sidewalk; where the street- sprinklers carried each a skin—that of a hog or a sheep, I think—under his I arm, filled with watetr and looking like the real animal, and squirted the water through his hand by opening j the neck of the skin.

The broad fields of the Delta, as we | rode in the train from Alexandria to Cairo, three hours and a quarter, were : green with cotton, corn like ours, and alfalfa. The villages, of a dozen or so houses each, looked hardly like habitations, with their flat-roofed huts of sun-dried mud bricks. The Nile is" now in flood and in unusually high flood, which means that many villages are partly submerged, but means also that as there is plenty of water, there will be gbod crops. I saw a fisher- man wading and throwing his net in just the way it is depicted on the wall-paintings, 3000 years old, of some of the tombs.

I am planning to leave the ladies here and start, day after tomorrow, for a hurried trip to Jerusalem, to be gone for a week. Then a couple of days after my return we will take steamer for a 500-mile trip up the Nile to the First Cataract at Assouan; and the next time I write you we shall undoubtedly be in the midst of this inland voyage. How I wish you could be transported here for a while to share this strange experience with us!

Ever sincerely yours, (Signed) FREDERIC PALMER.

Reception to Teacher

Abbot Academy

The first of the Alumnae Fund lectures of this year was given in Abbot Hall on Saturday afternoon by Miss Alicia Keyes, who began a series of lectures for the Fine Arts Department with a talk on Michael Angelo. Her very interesting discussion of the characteristics of Michael Angelo's style and the significance of his work was well illustrated by excellent slides. .

The next lecture, on Saturday, Dec. 5, will be on Rembrandt.

Resolutions of the Trustees of the Punchard Free School en the

Death of Mr. George A. Parker.

The Trustees of the Punchard Free School, in their first meeting since the death of Mr. George A. Parker, desire to record their sense of loss in his removal from their membership. For thirteten years Mr. Parker was a valuable member of the board of trustees. Himself a graduate of the school, he had a genuine affection for it, arid an unaffected interest in its success. During the last two years and a half, however, Mr. Parker has become a still more useful trustee of the school. In 1005 he was elected clerk and treasurer of the board, and in these offices showed a care for the invested funds, a vigi- lance to improve them, and a frank- ness towards iiis associates in the trust, which won their confidence and their gratitude. They wish to express to the citizens of Andover their appreciation of the worth of his services to the town high school, and to the members of his family a deep sympathy with their personal loss. Andover, September 14, 1908.

The National Bird According to the picture postal-

card displays, the turkey is our national bird. And why not? Nobody has exclusive rights to the eagle. I suppose that the eagle was originally an emblem of Rome. Every nation, therefore, which claims to be an heir of Roman power and civilization, can claim the eagle with some color of right. European flags and banners are sprinkled all over with eagles. But America has a right to be as original as Rome was. And the turkey really is our original bird, and the only one of our native wild animals which has become domesticated. Once wild, now tame, he stands for peace and plenty. 1 don't think I would care to have the turkey im- printed on our gold coinage. There is a certain artistic beauty which he seems to lack. His thick, abundant, tender, white flesh seems the very emblem of the material fatness ond well-being of our civilization. He is too costly for most of us to have every day; but many of us make him our own on a holiday when we have ?quests, and some of us secure him or an occasional Sunday. Thus he

stands for sobriety, family life, and hospitality. It is true that he grows rather tough as spring comes on, and often he appears at grange suppers, lodge suppers, church suppers when a "turkey supper" has ceased to have any attraction for the wise and wary; but that only shows how firmly planted he is in the affections of true Americans. Give me a well-browned turkey on a red, white and blue platter.

The Over-Draft for our Streets At first sight, the above title may

not seem to constitute an occasion for thankfulness. For my part, however, I find some place for it, and on this wise. Mr. Gould came into the town meeting and owned to error in such a frank, manly fashion, that he warmed the hearts of his fellow- citizens towards their Superintendent of Streets. He met the matter squarely. The town has perfect confidence in Mr. Gould's personal hoft- esty. It trusts that it has received value, now spread out over the streets and roads of the town, for the money expendell ahead of time, and the incident stands closed.

Employment of the Unemployed There was only one suggestion in

the recent town meeting discussion with which I should wish to join issue. It was the suggestion that the Super- intendent, though he had not had that aim in view, had in fact given employment during the summer to men whose families would, otherwise, have come upon the town for aid. , I take it for granted that that is true, and that some suffering was undeE signedly averted by the unusually large employment on the roads; but the fact does not justify the policy. No one now, I suppose, would claim that it does; and my only reason for alluding to it is that the idea may gradually grow up among us that the unemployed can look to the superintendent of streets for work. That would be a dangerous idea. It would mean turning a business proposition into a charitable proposition. We are not all against "paternalism;" but un- authorized paternalism, exercised by a man less invincibly honest than a Mr. Gould, would soon play into graft. The help of the unemployed is the concern of the overseers of the poor. Except when he is instructed otherwise by the town itself, the street superintendent is to see to this one thing, namely, that we get the best possible streets for the money.

The Thanksgiving Proclamation John Underwood has never been

an admirer of Governor Guild's literary style. There is this to be said, however, that the Governor always has a real idea which he is trying to express, even though he goes to work sometimes and covers the idea up again with his "fine langwidge." This year's thanksgiving proclamation af fords an illustration. The governo. really has an idea there, and don't overlook it when you hear the proclamation read on Sunday. He wants to make us feel what a big blessing peace is. Well, it is a great blessing. Were this any previous age of the world, there would be war in the Turkish Empire at this.minute. In those little countries north of Turkey, fire and sword would be turning towns and villages into a hell. Per- haps the German emperor's recent remarks would have brought on war in western Europe in former years. War has been declared for less cause than that. And while we are thankful for peace among the nations, we may pray that the world may worry through 1008-09, without seeing a great war break out in China, sucking the nations ot the earth int*> its maelstrom.

Thanksgiving Day Get ready for Thanksgiving. I

don't mean by having the dinner cooked. Of course that will have to be seen to. I mean, by getting your mind ready. Don't bring any warmed- over megrims to the table.

Learn wisdom, if you need to, from the following verses of John Ken- drick Bangs. Must you be. sad ? Then chose a day,

A whole one to be sad in. And at its dawning go away

Far from the crowd that's tnaddin t Mope, weep and grieve, from morn till eve;

Yourworries take and list 'em. Keep at it grimly till you leave

No gloom within your system—

Say once a week, and when 'tis o'er, And vanished like a bubble.

Let joy and cheer return once more— And with the tears shed trouble.

You'll find this plan a sure relief, And get a glimpse of Heaven.

One solid day of solid grief Is better far than seven.

More Delegates in Essex County

At the meting of the Essex club held in Boston just before the election it was urged that a large vote should be brought out in this county, and so well was this call heeded that the Republicans of Essex County increased their representation in next year's convention by 43 votes. Salem did her duty for Governor Draper and will thus have two more votes in the convention, 23 in all.

The basis of representation is one delegate for the first 75 votes cast in each ward of a city and each town for the Republican candidate for governor; one for each succeeding 150 votes, or a fractional part as large as 75 votes so cast.

Sometimes the lack of one vote loses a ward or town a delegate. This year, the nearest to that state of affairs resulted from the vote of North Andover, which was just two votes shy of the necessary number to en- title the town to four delegates instead of the three it secured. W. F. SearJe of Salem has compiled the following full County table:

DRAMATIC PERFORMANCES PRODUCTIONS BY PU"NCHARD

AND CLAN JOHNSTON

"Won Back" .

The Lawrence Gas Company last Friday filed with the state board of gas and electric light commissioners a petition for authority to issue 6000 additional shares of its capital stock, which, if allowed, will bring the capital stock of the company up to a round two million of dollars.

This petition is the first to be filed with the commissioners under the .terms of the act passed by, the last legislature removing the limit of $1,000,000 upon the capital stock of a gas company, but it will be remem- bered that the Lawrence company had capitalized at $1,400,000 under a special act. Two petitions were presented to the legislature of this year, one asking for general legislation to permit all gas companies to issue stock to any amount that may be approved by the commission, and the other a special act to permit the Law- rence company such powers. The special act, however, was held back in the committee until the special act had been passed, and as it was then unnecessary, the petitioners were given leave to withdraw.

The petition received by thestate commission to-day is accompanied by certified copies of the directors and stockholders of the company authorizing the officers to ask the board for authority to make the new issue.

New Book by Former Andover Pastor

John Edgar Park, formerly pastor at the West Parish church, has written a book entitled, "The Keen Joy of ' -ving", which has just recently been

* on sale. The book, as the title conveys, is

„n essay on the joy of living. It is not often that one encounters the sheer zest for living that bubbles up in these pages as from a perennial spring. The author is buoyantly glad to be alive and to him life is a fine art to be produced from the raw materials at hand; it is a game to be entered with heart and soul; a jest, sometimes, to the man who adds to faith, hope, and has a sense of humor; and, finally, a fairy tale.

It is hard to say which of these as- pects of life are dealt with most effectively. Always Mr. Park takes a fresh point of view and develops it with an individual style of his own —easy, chatty, but bracing as mountain air. His book is a tonic for persons who regard life only as a burden only to be home, while eager young folks will delight in it.

Punchard Dramatics

The senior class at the Punchard school last Friday night presented in Punchard hall their annual play. 'This year the little three-act military comedy,. "A Little Savage", was selected by the class. For many weeks the members of the cast have been hard at work on their parts, and their presentation showed the results of careful study and training. All the parts were presented in a natural and appreciative manner and all the players deserve no little credit for their efforts. As "A Little Savage" May Roger was particularly bright and her work delighted the large audience which saw the play.

The cast was as follows: Capt. Donald Churchill, officer in

command, Floyd W. Eastman Lieut. Arthur Lawton, Capt. Church-

hill's brother-in-law, Alex. Morrison, P. G.

Died a Natural Death

It is necessary to correct the report of the death of the little Anderson baby as given in the Lawrence paper last week. It was not a case of stran- gulation, as will be testified to by Medical Examiner Dow of Lawrence. The baby was left asleep in its carriage while its mother went downstairs for a few minutes. The baby lay in perfectly natural position on her return, but had died in its steep. Otherwise it would have been black, which was not the case. The medical examiner found no mark whatever on the baby's body, and he himself said that "the baby's death was a mystery". It can be explained only as a suffusion of blood on the brain or heart trouble. The baby had been subject to long crying spells during the summer which every pas- serby remarked upon. This may in some way have caused internal trouble that led to the quiet passing out of a little life of seven months. ***

STREET RAILWAY TRANSFERS TIMELY DISCUSSION BY THE

PRESIDENT OP THE BOS- TON ELEVATED

The problem of making ends meet in the conduct of traction companies becomes more and more serious year by year. Most of the corporations engaged in selling street car transportation are well managed, some few are indifferently managed, a very small number are badly managed; all, however, whatever the character and personnel of their administration, have recently been affected by the same economic condition, one under which materials cost more than formerly, labor costs more than formerly, and the price of the commodity sold is practically fixed. "The general facts underlying such

a situation need no demonstration. They are already well known. As one, however, of the important separate factors contributing to the predicament in which many of the street car companies of the country find themselves, the relationship of the free transfer to profit or loss from operation deserves special consideration at this time.

The receivers in New York, to take a now classic instance, upon investi- gating the causes of deficits immediately discovered that extension of transfer privileges was responsible for a large loss of potential income. They unearthed a truth with which every traction man is familiar. That other and even more complicated circumstances are involved in the Metropolitan tangle does not alter the clear fact that passengers in New York have for several years past been getting long rides at the expense of the financial stability of their local rapid transit system.

The same thing in varying degrees is doubtless true of many other urban transportation companies. Through- out the country there seems to be a feeling among men in the street rail- roading business that the issuance of transfers has run riot and that the time has come to put checks upon existing abuse.

In order to get a clear idea of just what is involved in the problem of transfers it is necessary to go back a little and discover the original reasons for allowing passengers to go from car to car without payment of an extra fare. Current comment in referring to the free transfer controversy in New York is usually senten- tious in asserting that abuses of a good principle have arisen and that it is the abuses which should be eliminated. Without either affirming or denying this generality, let us begin by maintaining that there is no logical excuse for the transfer, at all, from the point of view of one who puts a strict construction on the doctrine of one carfare for a ride. ■ The theory of a uniform price for transportation in a given community is based absolutely upon the existence of a short haul traffic whose profitableness compensates for losses due to the long haul traffic. This is unquestionably a principle proved by experience to be sound as applied to American conditions. It stands in alternative relation to the zone principle which prevails in many Euro- pean cities where passengers pay for their transportation virtually in accordance with the distance traveled.

The zone scheme for sociological reasons which have abundantly been set forth does not appeal to Amer- icans as a good one, for under it the poorest elements of the population are necessarily huddled close to their work instead of being encouraged by convenience and low cost of transportation to seek habitations in the pleasanter and more heathful suburbs. Use of a standard rate has also been discovered to be less confusing as regards details of practical operation. Precisely the same principle has prevailed, and for the same reasons, as in the management of the postal service. In either case the practical problem has been to fix a price that is possible, taking into account both long haul and short haul business.

This uniform price, as the situation is seen by the street car man, must be low enough to encourage people to use the cars, convenient enough in denomination not to be irritating to the public or the employes of the company, and large enough to ensure under normal conditions an income from operation that will permit of giving efficient service to the public and adequate return upon their investment to the stockholders.

Because in a general way it seemed to meet these conditions the standard price for street car transportation was fixed some years ago at a nickel. In the early days of the industry three-cent, six-cent and eight-cent fares were common—as Mark Twain's jingle bears witness. Standardizing the fare minimum came about as part of the general standardization of street railway practices in the late eighties and early nineties, The various urban companies found it advantageous to have a common unit of price for service. It was henceforth known before a road was constructed just what the managers could get for a single ride. They all cut their cloth accordingly.

A ride for a nickel from one point to another in the same car was thus pretty well established as a service unit before electric traction was introduced. From the point of view of the public it was, and is, a reasonable scheme of equalization. The man who rides two city blocks does nor complain of being overtaxed in favor of the man who rides from one side of the city to the other! any more charges of discrimination because the government expects two cent* to take

Ma Utter to Chelsea and no more for transporting his neighbor's letter across the continent and on to the Philippines.

The earliest free transfers appeared to be an unessential modification of the scheme. No one foresaw that they would radically modify its character.

The historical origin, indeed, of the types of free transfers shows that they were not intended as an alter- ation of the broad plan of charging five cents a ride. They were simply manshifts to adjust o local hardship or to assist the company in equalizing loads.

One type arose from such service conditions as those prevailing some years ago on the lines between Boston and Cambridge. It was found in practice that traffic was heavy to Harvard Square, light to some of the places beyond and that it would be a convenience to passengers to allow them to take cars running to Harvard Square only and to give them a transfer en- titling to a ride on one of the cars going further.

In cities constructed on the check- er-board plan, short cross town lines were often built running transverse to longer lines. It seemed just and right that persons living on blocks a little back from the main avenues should not be at a disadvantage in reaching their daily work as compared with those who lived on the avenues. There consequently arose the custom of issuing transfers at the junction point. It was never expected that the number of these junction points would increase until a passenger could by systematic taking up of transfers go from his house to the business section of the city, do a little shoppii and thence return home, all on a single fare.

An immense and apparently logical extension of the transfer came into existence in Boston when the present triple arrangement of subway, elevated and surface cars was adopted. With a subway-elevated line encirc- ling the city, and trunk line elevated roads running north and south, the granting on a large scale of the privilege of "bodily transfer," that is of walking across a station platform from one car to another without presenting a formal check or ticket, was practically necessitated. Much of this transferring is an inevitable consequence xrf the introduction of new kinds of transportation. It is seem-' ingly justified by the circumstance that a ride in the surface car and in the elevated has taken the place of a single surface car ride of the same length that was available for a nickel before the elevated was built. In effect, however, the great opportunities for legitimate transfer which have created at the elevated terminals, and at the subway and elevated stations in Boston have been coupled with circumstances more or less unfortunate from the point of view of the Bos- ton Elevated Railway Company.

The abuses that have appeared, let us reiterate, are, all traceable to viola- tions of the theoretical principle of a ride for a nickel. The fare unit has been debased. Some concessions due to disposition of the management of an urban transportation company to provide its patrons with the best possible facilities for getting about have been pardonable, but the wholesale expansion of transfers has been of questionable wisdom. It is easy to appreciate the spirit in which Presi- dent Winter of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company recently confessed that, without, indulging in threats, something will have to be done shortly in the matter of transfers in his borough.

Conditions Justify Some Increases in Freight Rate*

Justification for increase in freight rates, if there is to be such increase, may be found, if at all, only in the fact that increased cost of operation and maintenance of railroads has reached a point where reasonable profit on money isvested in them is not possible from the revenue they now receive.

The country does not stand still. Each year marks an increase in effort and output and therefore an increased demand for transportation facilities. If the highest point of capacity was reached, then it stands to reason that to meet the increased demand for the years that follow there must be an increase in those facilities commensu- rate at least with the demand for them. To provide new facilities takes money.

In order to invite the investment of capital a railroad must be able to show that its revenues pay costs of operation and maintenance, costs of new facilities as needed and a fair certain profit of money invested. The capitalist is not satisfied to know that it is possible for a road to do this. He must be assured that it is certain to do it at all times.

Wages have been increased a number of times by the railroads in recent years, while freight rates have practically remained unchanged. The cost of operation and maintenance of a railroad approximately, as last year, is 70 per cent of its gross receipts. Out of this 70 per cent about two-thirds is paid in wages. Now, it stands to reason that if wages are increased 5 to 10 per cent there is a big increase in the cost of maintenance and operation of the road. In just the'degree that this cost is increased is lessened the opportunity of the road to provide new facilities and to bring the old facilities up to a fixed satisfactory standard.

It is a matter of public interest, first, that good wages be paid railroad employees; second, that present transportation facilities be kept up to a satisfactory standard and, thircl, that new facilities be provided to meet the ever increasing demand for them.

Inasmuch as the cost of wages has been raised considerably in many instances during the last year or so, and inasmuch as the cost of equipment has also increased, while the rates are practically now what they were before these increases occurred, it is not unlikely that some roads may have to increase—not all, perhaps, but some—their freight rates.

Last Week in Subway

This appears to be the last week for "L" trains in the Tremont street subway. The week will mark the passing of one familiar sight, bid farewell to the excessive crowding at Park street and Boylston street, put the Pleasant street station out of commission, terminate the so-called "At- lantic avenue circuit" and open the newest line of rapid transit in Boston. Saturday is the earliest date men- tioned for the opening of the Wash- ington street tunnel; Sunday and Monday are also suggested for the eventful occasion. No date is fixed officially, but officials and employees in the "L" system are rushing their work with the idea of starting the tunnel trains at the end of this week or the beginning of next.

Much will be done at night pre- paratory to the change. When the established lines permit of interrup- tion in traffic the Elevated Railway Company is using the time to the fullest advantage.. One feature of the new service that must be completed before the tunnel can be opened is the shuttle train between the North and South stations, for when the "L" trains are taken out of the subway and run straight down under Wash- ington street there will be no "loop service" to connect those, two railroad terminals. A shuttle train is to supplant it. This will run in Atlantic avenue, and wil come to a dead stop at North Station on a centre track. At the other end it will go as far as Beach street, changing there from one track to the other. The necessary changes at the two ends are practically completed. Another important change necessary before the "L" trains are taken out of the subway was the building of a loop track at the North Station for the surface cars which now come only as far as Park street, and this loop is nearly finished.

Work has been started on the Shaw mut avenue tracks which are to connect with the subway tracks at Pleas- ant street. On the Tremont street side of the Pleasant street station the laying of new tracks was started several days ago, and is almost completed, except for the actual connection with the subway rails, which cannot be made before the station house is torn down and the grade changed into its right incline.

The service in the tunnel is to be started with six-car trains. All the stations from Sullivan square to Dud- ley street have been enlarged for this purpose; in some instances the work is not completed. Eventually they will be lengthened so as to provide for eight cars, and by that time the Dudley street terminal wil be so de- cidedly transformed as to bear little resemblance to its present appearance. At the South Station the station on the "L" will be moved from its present location to the north side of Dewey square, and the Beach street station wil be broadened and lengthened to the United States Hotel.

The City square station also will undergo a radical change. There will be two platforms instead of one and the trains will run between them. At Dudley street also there will be two platforms, one for the north-bound and theother for the south-bound traffic, and in each instance the "L" platform wil be connected by an overhead bridge with the surface car platform for traffic going in the same direction. Incidental to that change will be the transfer of the station house from its present location to the other end of the present platform. One of the results will be an effectual stoppage of illegal transfers.

B. & N. Increases Its Capital Stock

The state board of railroad commissioners approved an isue of 7236 shares of new capital stock by the Boston St Northern Street Railway company, to be offered to the stockholders of the company at $110 per share. This is the first instance in which the board has approved an issue of stock at the price .fixed by the stockholders under the new law of this year, the statutes previously having provided that the commission should fix the price. The order of the board is as follows:

"It appearing, after notice and hearing and further investigation, that the proposed issue of preferred stock is for a lawful purpose and is consistent with the public interest; it is

Ordered; That the approval of the Board is hereby given to the issue by the Boston & Northern Street Rail- way Company, at the price of one hundred and ten dollars ($110) per share as fixed by its stockholders of not exceeding seven thousand two hundred and thirty-six (7236) shares of six per cent cumulative preferred stock, amounting at par value fo seven hundred twenty-three thousand six hundred dollars ($723,000), having the preferences, voting powers and restrictions and qualifications thereof which have been fixed by two-thirds votes of all the stock of said company, as set out in copies of said votes referred to in and annexed to a petition of said company dated March 25, 1908, as an issue of stock reasonably necessary and of the amount required for the payment and capitalization of certain Boating in- debtedness properly incurred in the construction and equipment of its railway and in purchase of property necessary for its operation, as described in the schedule and report on tile with the petitions.

Berlin, Nov. 18.—Forced by the angry tide of popular feeling that awept the empire from end to end, Emperor Will- iam has yielded to the nation and prom- Iced henceforth to conform himself to constitutional methods of conducting the policies of Germany.

The climax to the public utterances of the emperor was reached in an Inter- view which he gave to an Englishman, which was published In the London Dally Telegraph on Oct. 28. As the outcome of this the whole country was aroused; the relchstag endorsed the attitude of many of Its most prominent members when they denounced the sovereign, and Chancellor Von Buelow, while he attempted to smooth away the affair, undertook to communicate to the emperor a straightforward and un- varnished statement of bow the Ger- man people viewed his Intervention In affairs of state.

EMPEROR WILLIAM. The interview between the emperor

and the Imperial chancellor took place yesterday and st Its conclusion the emperor made formal promise to his people that he would not In the future act except through the chancellor and his associate ministers. This promise was made public In The Relchsanzelger. the official gazette of the empire.

Prince Von Buelow had determined upon handing In his resignation If the emperor hud not met the country's demands, but as such a situation did not arise, the audience ended with the emperor saying to the chancellor that he reposed full confidence in his wisdom.

Within half an hour after the chancellor's return to Berlin, bulletins Is- sued gratis by the evening newspapers, reporting a favorable Issue of the meeting between the emperor and prince, were eagerly snatched by an anxious public, who In the first moment of joyful surprise scarcely conceived the Im- portance of the announcement to themselves and the empire. The whole nation had awaited with breathless sus- pense the word from the palace which would decide whether Von Buelow would quit his office and the "reign of personal policy" continue, or whether the < hancellor would remain and the desire of the people be fulfilled, that the nation as well as the emperor wonld have a word In directing the policies or the country. It Is certoln now In the r.i Inds of the German people that a great step has been taken toward free government.

EITHER THIEVES OR HOGS Adams' Opinion of Those Who Op- pose Changes In Tariff Schedules

Washington, Nov. IS.—"To ask us to put aside our business affairs, and at uur own expense go to Washington on a desperate mission, Is asking a little too much, whether the demand comes from the committee or from a president- elect.''

The above la the substance of a let- let addressed by Charles Francis Adams to Representative McCall of Massachusetts and made pnbltc by the latter In his explanation of the failure of the tariff reformers to present their rase to the ways and means committee now considering a revision of the tariff

Mr. Adams declares that the persons who wish the tariff schedules to remain unchanged either are "thieves or "hogs" and admits that he himself belongs to '.be first class. Bat he Is also a tariff reformer desiring to see every protective schedule swept ont of existence. But as a mere citizen he wonld receive from the ways and means committee scarcely a respectful hearing, If any at a:., being thus In the position of mll- I'ons of others.

LIEUTENANT EVANS IS REPRIMANDED

His Case Is Regarded as "Peculiarly Deplorable"

Washington, Nov. 19.—Lieutenant Frank T. Brans, U. 8. N., who was recently reduced 160 numbers In rank for conduct unbecoming an officer and prejudicial to the service, was reprimanded by Acting Secretary New berry in accordance with the findings of the court martial in the following language:

"The department, for reasons obvious to the service, regards this as a peculiarly deplorable case, and In publish lag Its disapproval of the conduct of Lieutenant Evans refrains from ex- pressing fully Its condemnation of the actions of this officer on the occasion In question. A casual reading, however, of the charges and specifications, with the findings thereon, will be sufficient to enable the service to form Its own estimate of an officer who has been found guilty of the acts alleged In this case."

Admiral Sperry, commander-ln-chlef of the Atlantic fleet of battleships, In approving the findings, said that he did so "In order that Lieutenant Evnns should not entirely escape punish- ment," but made known his belief that the officer had not been adequately punished. The court martial found Evans guilty of leaving his station before being adequately relieved, of dis- respectful language to his superior officer, and of Inviting two enlisted men to have a bottle of beer In his room.

Rabbit Led to Hioden Fortune Oil City, Pa.,'Nov. 19.—While dig-

HUNTING SEASON NOW OPEN LAWS IN REGARD TO LICENSES

THAT WILL INTEREST LOCAL HUNTERS

There has been so much information given out about the intent and purpose of hunters' lieense laws that a few authoritative statements regarding them may help to put the whole matter in its right aspect before the people. Notwithstanding the many misleading statements cir- culated in opposition to the policy of enacting hunting license laws, they have steadily gained ground, for the principle on which they are founded is right and just. Popular prejudice against them is caused mainly by a misapprehension of the^ facts, and should be overcome, for every state in the union will soon have laws for the registration of hunters upon its statute booVs, and these laws will be much better enforced if they have the support of all honest people. The attempts so far made in the New Eng- land States to enact laws for the registration of hunters have not yet met with entire success. This is to be de- plored, for what is most needed now, to check the extermination of birds and game is the means to enforce game and bird laws; and license laws furnish money for such enforcement. New England people are ready enough to adopt a system of registration which taxes nonresident or alien hunters, but we are not so ready to enact laws to tax ourselves. This selfish attitude defeats our purpose; for without a law for the registration of resident hunters the other hunting license laws cannot be fully enforced.

Connecticut and Massachusetts are now the only New England States that have a complete, effective system for the registration of resident, non- resident and alien hunters. (The Mass- achusetts law does not go into effect until January first, 1909.) All the other New England States license nonresident hunters (Maine and New Hampshire also license alien hunters) but they do not register or license resident hunters; and right here their laws fail. One of the prominent factors in opposition to the enactment of a comprehensive law for the registration of resident hunters is the feeling among country people that they should have absolute liberty to roam the woods and fields of their native land, and kill whatever and wherever they please.- This spirit, however at first sight, is. too likely to develop at first sight, is too likely to develop laudable it may seem to some people into a total disregard for the rights of others. If such unbridled liberty is to be given to the farmer and the woodsman, it must, in fairness, be given also to the city sportsman and the hordes of poor people of the city. There has been altogether too much of this unrestricted huntipg by both natives and foreigners, and our game is disappearing. .

There are two ways in which this can be stopped. The first is to stop all hunting. The second is to allow hunting but restrict it; and require those who hunt the game to pay for its protection and propagation. The first of the above propositions falls by its own weight. Any bill em- bodying this feature would be killed at once by the hunters of any state. The proposition to license the hunter is, therefore, our only resource, if we are to continue to have game to )">nt. . ... '

Practically every civilized country on the face of the earth has a hunting license. The United States have been almost the last to adopt it. Fifteen years ago very few of these states had such a law. Now nearly all have non-resident hunting licenses; twenty- four have resident, and sixteen have alien hunting licenses.

These laws have given such satisfaction that no state having once passed such a law has ever repealed it. The Canadian Provinces have hunting license laws and high fees.

The objects of the law are (1) to protect the birds and game, for the benefit of the people of the state, (2) to provide a revenue for this purpose, and for the propagation of game, (3) to protect the property of the farmers from the depredations of vagabond hunters.

The old system of procuring a revenue by state appropriations is in- efficient, for it is impossible to secure adequate appropriations; most of the wardens are unpaid, and it is noto- rious that law enforcement is lax.

Under a registration system the funds for enforcing the law are provided in exact proportion to the number of hunters. These moneys increase as the number of hunters increases. In some states the income derived in this way already exceeds one hundred thousand dollars annually, and is steadily increasing. THE NON-RESIDENT LICENSE

LAW This law is based on the principle

that the game of a state belongs to her people. It is intended to protect the game from irresponsible outsiders and to furnish some revenue for the enforcement of the law. As its provisions were enacted by one state after another it swept the country, for each state was bound in self defence, to follow her neighbors in such legislation or else see her game deci- mated by the people of neighboring states.

The fees for non-resident licenses range from $10. to $50. in the United

■States, and in Newfoundland the fee is $100. THE ALIEN HUNTING LICENSE

The Alien License is framed to prevent hunting by a class of unnaturalized foreigners, ignorant of our laws, like many Italians, Greeks, etc., who kill not only game but all living things that can be eaten, and who destroy song birds by the million. To- day these people form the greatest menace to the bird life of the New England States. The fee is $10. and

Both the above laws are ineffective unless accompanied by a resident license law, which requires all hunters

HOW TO BUY GOOD PRINTING FLAT ESTIMATE FREQUENTLY

THE PRESIDENT OF HARVARD

I am a printer myself, says a writer in the Progressive Printer, and I have spent nine years buying advertising printing. Naturally, I have some ideas upon the subject, and they are pretty positive ideas. The chief of these is that you cannot buy printing by the yard-stick. I have found that there is only one way to get good printing, and that is to find a good printer and trust him absolutely. When I have such a printer I never dream of asking for an estimate. When I suggest such a process to a business man he goes up in the air, but that is owing to his own lack of experience and not to the fallacy of the theory. Of course, it would be very easy for a printer to get the best of me once or twice on this plan, but if he expected to work for me right along, year after year, he would not sacrifice future orders to any immediate profit. Even when my printer has furnished estimates, he has' revised them afterward. I have known him to come to me and say that the job had cost more than he expected it would, and charge me more than he agreed. I have also had him come to me and say that he had found a way of doing the job a good deal more cheaply than he thought at first; therefore the bill would be less than the estimate would indicate..

Nobody knows better than a printer how hard it is to estimate exactly on a job, especially if it is complicated. What I want is not so much a low price as good work. The good work comes first. I suppose that I am paying more for printing than a good many houses do, but there is no question that I am getting the work, and that comes first. 1 do not believe that a good job of printing was ever got by sending it around to half a dozen shops and letting it out to the lowest bidder. No man who makes a business of bidding on jobs ever does good printing from my point of view. He may do printing good enough for the specifications on that particular job, but that is not the kind of printing we are buying. The kind of printing that we need in our business is something more than manual labor. It must have a certain mixture of brains and brains are something that you cannot measure off by any rule of thumb. The best relations with tbe printer are those which endure from week to week, month to month, and which are founded on mutual confidence. We would never hesitate for a minute to place business with a house which advertised in this way.

A business man who knows nothing about printing can not understand why a printer cannot telj him to an exact cent what a certain job of printing will cost. The reason why the printer cannot tell nim is not because the printer doesn't understand printing, but because the business man doesn't. My own printer, whenever I insist upon it, always gives an estimate, and it is sure to be a conservative one. Then if the job runs less he makes a rebate upon his estimate in the bill. I have never, during a year's connection with this printer, had occasion to quarrel with him about a single bill, and I am getting better printing and more uni- formally good printing than I have ever gotten in all my nine years of advertising experience.

The reason why there is so much bad advertising printing is simply because there are so few good printers, and that so few business men are willing to trust these few good printers. In the first place, printing is expensive. Every time you pare down the price you knock out some quality essentnial to good printing. Good paper costs money. Good ink costs money. Intelligent typesetting costs money. Perfect press work costs money. You can take any good job of printing and do it for one-half to one-fourth the price, but it is certain you will not get the same job. It is short-sighted policy to pay too little, and there is no advertiser so mistaken as that shrewd man who knows how to get a low price on printing. There are jobs, such as time tables, tax lists, and things of that kind, which can be farmed out at the lowest price. It would not be possible to spoil them. They are so bad anyway.and it is not necessary that they should be good. But advertising printing- printing which depends for its pres- tige upon its appearance—cannot be treated in this summary manner.

The whole theory of getting estimates on printing, if it is to be good printing, is wrong. You might just as well get an estimate on a piece of designing or upon a case of diptheria. The only question to be answered is, what printer can do the work. If one gets estimates at all, one naturally gives the work to the lowest bidder. Any man who will bid for a job will bid low to get it. Any man who bids lower than he ought will take it out of the job. This is simply human nature. The man who gets the worst of it is the man who pays for the printing. Of course, printers who can be trusted are rare, but it is to find such, and then to stay with them. There would be more such printers if there were more adver- tisers who understood this matter of printing and how to buy it. If we had to run around and get an estimate upon every job of printing, we would go out of the advertising business, as far as the printing part is concerned.

to carry a license; for it is often impossible for an officer to determine, in the field, whether a man is either a non-resident of the state, a resident or an unnaturalized alien. The only law that can be enforced is a comprehensive law with a provision re- quiring all hunters to take out a license.

DISCUSSION RETIRES

HAY

OF

In the sunniest corner of University Hall, the administrative building of Harvard, is the office of the president of that ancient seat of learning. It is a bright, cheerful room, finished and furnished in light colors, and through the very small panes of the four windows the sun comes stream- ing in all day long, a powerful coad- jutor of the wood fire in the large open fireplace and the heaped up box beside it, all suggestive of the genial sitting room of a farmhouse of half a century ago.

On all sides there are evidences of well preserved age and good housekeeping. A cabinet against the wall between two diamond paned windows was once the property of John Eliot, colonial apostle to the Indians. An- other cabinet, higher and more impos- ing, once belonged to Judge Joseph Story, professor in the Harvard Law school more than a hundred years ago and afterward a member of the United States supreme court. Of the pictures on the walls none is more recent than 1869, one over the fireplace showing a group of former presidents of Har- vard—Josiah Quincy, Edward Ever- ett, Jared Sparks, James Walker and Cornelius C. Felton.

No one among them and all the others who have directed the affairs of the great university has made a record equal to that of the man who for the last forty years has occupied that homely and old fashioned room, but has given notice that on May 19, 1909, it will be at the service of another tenant.

Forty years ago next spring the office of president of Harvard college was vacant. Dr. Thomas Hills had resigned it on account of ill health and had been out of active service for several months. The responsibility of choosing his successor was vested in the corporation, consisting of five fellows and the treasurer, but it was necessary that its choice should be approved by the board of overseers, numbering thirty members.

Article* That Made a Stir Just at that time, when the matter

of selecting a new president was ab- sorbing much attention in college circles and in the educational world at large, there appeared in the Atlantic Monthly two articles in successive numbers which at once commanded universal attention. They were entitled "The New Education" and treated at length on its organization and purpose. These articles jwere a sharp attack on current educational methods, more especially those which were then in vogue at the Lawrence Scientific school at Harvard. The Sheffield Scientific school at Yale was cited as a worthy example of the new teaching, but the old traditions which prevailed at Harvard were ridiculed mercilessly. The writer declared that the old time, unprogressive professors at the latter institution had flanges on their mental wheels which would fit only one gauge and that the text books used by them were only notable on account of their perverse- ness. In the matter of selecting a president, the magazinist wrote, it was not always judicious to choose a clergyman, men of other professions being quite as competent.

These articles made a great stir in Cambridge. They were unsigned, but it soon became known that they were written by Charles William Eliot, a young professor in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

It was recalled in college circles that Eliot's four years as a student at Har- vard had been passed under the presidency of Jared Sparks, the famous Unitarian minister and biographer. His tutorship and assistant professor- shipat that institution were under the presidency of James Walker, another Unitarian minister. He was put in charge of the chemical department of the Lawrence Scientific school by another Unitarian minister, Cornelius Felton, and at the last he served under the administration of Thomas Hill, also a minister of the same denomination. In 1857, when only twenty-three years of age, he delivered a course of lectures on chemistry at the Harvard Medical school, and it gave him some insight into the resources, policy and management of that institution. As an assistant professor he came into close contact with the prevailing methods. He published a manual on the subject, and that gave him an opportunity to discover how new text books were received when their introduction interfered with the popularity of the works of older professors of like character. His experience as a teacher at his alma matter was not congenial, and he retired from the classic shades of Cambridge and traveled abroad for two years.

On his return he accepted the pro- fessorship at the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology, where matters were not warped or dominated by generations of moribund traditions and where his new ideas of education at training found a respectful hearing and subsequent rapid development

Telling Campaign Document This was the experience which was

reflected in the magazine articles on "The New Education." No one recognized in the effort a telling campaign document, yet it turned out in that way. The deep thought, the high ideal, the spirit of reform, the intol crance of mediocrity, were so forcibly and intelligently expressed that the suggestion of the author as a person qualified to fill the vacant presidency was unavoidable. This sentiment soon crystallized into definite shape, and at the May meeting of the corporation Charles William Eliot, then only thirty-five years of age, was elected president of Harvard.

THE SEASON'S ENTERTAINMENT ^

THE BOSTON SHOW World's Prize Dancers

A dozen dancing girls from the Orient are coming to Austin & Stone's Museum, in Boston, for a fortnight on November 23. They are known as the Alexandria prize dancers and their exhibition here promises to be a genuine novelty- sensa- tion. The star of the troupe is Zuelima Agra, a wonderfully beautiful girl, who wil be seen in the famous Algerian dance, a dance which for oriental grace is said to be un- equalled. Zubeda Luti of Damascus will illustrate the "Damascus Dance" and a feature of every performance will be the great Alexandria Salome dance.

Sportmen's Show

The lure of the wild can be almost as well answered and enjoyed by a visit to the "Sportsman's Show" soon to be established, in Mechanics Build- ing, as by a real visit to forest and stream. Many there are who cannot go to the quiet of the woods, so the New England Forest and Fish and Game Association proposes to bring the woods and lakes and rippling brooks, with what they contain to the urbanite and aet them up so that they can be examined in comfort and at one's pleasure.

Colonial

When Mr. Skinner has ended his Stay at the Colonial in "The Honor of tjhe Family," Henry Miller will follow him to act again here in "The Great Divide." Then toward the end of December comes "Paid in Full."

Tremont

There was waltzing and singing at the Tremont Theatre last evening, and "The Merry Widow" entered up- 611 another week of its Boston engagement with quite as much interest and popularity as has been the rule ever since last August. The dash and Sparkle of this Viennese comic opera have made the work famous beyond Boston, and the result has been that it has made a notable record for it- Self in the weeks which have passed, tut the long continuation of the en- tragement has not caused the slightest oss of interest in the work, if one

might judge by the enthusiasm of last evening.

Globe 1 "The County Fair" opened its second week at the Globe theatre last bight. Neil Burgess, as Abigail jPrue, is, of course, as funny as ever, and won the plaudits of the large audience from his first appearance to the fall of the curtain on the last act. Diminutive Ernestine Veronec, with her East Side accent, wide knowledge of the world's wickedness and child- like maneuvers, gives Mr. Burgess splendid support. Wm. F. O'Sulli- van, as Tim the Tanner, continues to awaken the enthusiasm of the audience in the last great act when, with Cold Molasses, he wins the $3000 stakes in the race at the fair and saves the day and the farm for Aunt Abby.

"The County Fair" is typically American and one which can be seen once and seen again with pleasure.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS Lawrence Opera Houae

C. T. Dazey, the author of "A Fascinating Widow" which will be presented at the opera house, afternoon and night. Thanksgiving Day, first gained the attention of the theatre-going public through the enormous success of "In Old Kentucky" and had even succeeded in getting a play produced. This was called "The American King" and received its premiere in San Francisco with James O'Neil in the title role. The play was not a big success however.

It is a matter of well known fact that Mr. Dazey carried the manu- script of "In Old Kentucky" so long that the pages became dogeared. With remarkable perseverance he kept at the producing managers and finally succeeded in inducing the late Jacob Litt to give him a production. The play is now in its eleventh season and has made a fortune for everyone concerned in it.

In Mr. Dazey's new play "A Fas- cinating Widow," which will be re- produced here by Mr. Otis B. Thayer and an excellent supporting company, the author has drifted from the usual melo-dramatic lines and instead will offer a rollicking farce comedy inter- spersed with many musical numbers. These will include three new songs by Mr. Thayer entitled "The Ice Man," "A Dead Game Sport" and "He Falls For the Ladies Every Time."

Mr. Otis Skinner will present "The Honor of the Family" at the opera house, November 30, under the auspices of the United lodges, Knights of Pythias.

The Colonial has an unusually strong bill this week. "The Orphan's Christmas Eve" is a novel number, a very delightful story, with scenic and electrical effects. The bill also includes Francesca Redding & Co. in the laughing sketch "Honorah." Harry B. Lester, the comedian. Clarke and Brogtnan, the belt boy trio, Frank Le Dent, the juggler, and Mr. and Mrs: Jimmie Barry.

Second Cross Lecture

On Monday evening in Stone Chapel, Mr. George N. Cross will {rive the second in his course of three ectures. The subject will be "The

Lion of St. Mark" and deals with the history of architecture, art and the present day life in Venice. The lec-

The annual Eagle A. A. dance will be given to-night in the Town hall, ture will be illustrated.

Professor Smith's Lecture

Last Tuesday evening, in the Ar- chaeological building, Prof. Harlan I. Smith, of New York, gave an illustrated lecture on "Five American Na- tions; Conquerors of the Snow, For- est, Mist, Desert and Plain." This was the second in the course of lectures which is given by the Archae- ology department of Phillips.

Prof. Smith handled his subject in a novel and interesting style and his audience followed his remarks very closely. He told of the habits of the early people who inhabited different sections of this continent, their manner of utilizing the natural resources and their different accomplishments.

strong company appear. Shea's acting is superb and his support leaves nothing to be desired in the intense, psychological moments of the presentation. The attitude in which it is accepted by the audience is instanced by the overheard query: "What won't vaudeville get next?"

Orpheum

England contributes to the Orphe- um bill this week almost as strikingly as Scotland did last week, in an act by Joe Boganny's troupe of lunatic bakers. They are a team of as clever acrobats as have come to Boston this year. Their whirlwind entrances and exits and the stunts they exhibited between each kept the audience in a state of perpetual awe. Six of them in number, they attempt almost anything in the way of body twists and turns, somersaults and handsprings.

Playgrounds and Bad Boys

That playgrounds and public recre- ational facilities have a very great influence in diminishing juvenile delinquency is a proposition in support of which countless opinions and instances are brought forward. The case of Tony or Joe, who ceased to be a neighborhood problem when the playground was opened, is known to the social worker in almost every city which has a playground. And the almost unanimous opinion of judges, probation officers, neighborhood policemen and experienced social observers satisfies us that the playground goes far toward solving the general problem of juvenile delinquency. After careful study of the records of the Chicago. Juvenile Court, over a term of years, divided by wards, it appears that a small park neighborhood recreation center such as those on the South Side of Chi- cago, can be expected to be co-incident with a twenty-eight and one-half per cent, decrease of delinquency within a radius of one-half mile, conditions of the neighborhood in other respects remaining stable. To provide a probation district with adequate play facilities is co-incident with a reduction in delinquency of from twenty-eight per cent, to seventy per cent., or forty-four per cent, as an average. In addition, over a much- larger area the small parks have a tendency to decrease delinquency seventeen per cent. It is clear, too, that besides preventing delinquency, the playground greatly increases the chances that a paroled boy will continue on good behavior.

State Aid Last Year

The state treasurer is paying out by direction of Captain Charles W. Hast- ings, state aid commissioner, amounts due the cities and towns for state aid expended to veterans of the Spanish and Civil wars last year. This money is paid under three different classifi- cations, the first termed is aid to soldiers and sailors who are pensioners of the United States and is reimbursed in full by the state. The second class is called military aid and is paid out for needy medical aid and attendance in case of sickness of des- titute soldiers or sailors. The third class is money paid for the burial of indigent soldiers and sailors and is fully reimbursed by the state.

The amounts now being paid out by the state in this vicinity are as follows: City or town State Mil'ary Bur Ttls Andover, $2448 — — $2448 Boxford, 168 — — 168 Lawrence, 6137 274 175 6586 Methuen, 1242 102 107 1451 Middleton, 720 — — 720 No: Andover, 1131 — — 1131

Exposition at Seattle

From the present indications it is practically certain that the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific exposition to be held in Seattle from June 1 to October 15, of next year, will have the distinction of being the first world's fair to be completed in every detail by the opening date.

According to official figures just given out the construction of the buildings and grounds is now seventy-five per cent, complete. Three of the permanent buildings, to become the property of the University of Washington at the close of the fair, the auditorium, fine arts and the machinery hall, are entirely complete.

The plans for the federal buildings have been approved and contracts for the construction will be awarded within the next thirty days, with a time limit for completion set for March I, of next year.

There are more than a million plants now in the greenhouses ready for transplanting and the mild cli- mate of Puget Sound makes it possible to set out the more hardy of these during the winter months.

HAVERHILL

Ex-Mayor Edwin H. Moulton and Mayor Roswell L. Wood were selected in the preliminary election as the candidates to run for tnayor at the city election in Decemler, being the two highest of the «ven__as- pirants for the nomination.

The preliminary election was a novelty, being similar to the joint primaries under the Luce act excepting that partisanship was eliminated and for the first time women voted. The campaigning was brief owing to the supreme court not sustaining the constitutionality of the new city charter that was adopted a month ago, until last Wednesday, and was confined to rallies by the leading candidates excepting Ex- Mayor Moulton.

The latter, who served half a year in 1897 to fill the vacancy created by the death of Mayor Brockett, refused to take the platform, declining to meet his opponents in a joint debate as he said he was not a public speaker, and he sought support through ward committees and political circulars. Mayor Wood, who was then a councilman, was the opponent of Ex-Mayor Moulton in 1897 in the special election and he was beaten by 393 plurality.

Tuesday Ex-Mayor Moulton led Mayor Wood 424 votes. The latter defeated Ex-Supt. of Schools Albert L. Bartlett by 124 votes.

The total vote of the city was 6515, and the interest in the mayorality contest was shown by the fact that there were only 90 blanks. The vote was within 12 of the total polled in the last city election, when Mayor Wood was elected to a fifth term, and it exceeded that cast in the recent presidential election by 425.

Ex-Mayor Moulton carried 7 of the 12 precincts, Mayor Wood carrying wards 1 and 3, and Albert L. Bartlett and Ex-Mayor Flanders carrying ward 5. It was admitted that the fight at the city election for the mayoralty, which under the new city charter will be a two-year term with a salary of $2500, an increase of $500, will be the bitterest ever waged in the city, and uncertainty prevails as to where the vote cast for Albert L. Bartlett and Ex-Mayor Flanders will be thrown.

The candidates selected from the 31 aspirants for the two two-year al- dermanic terms are John T. Desmond, James W. Harris, Moses W. Hanscom, and Joseph Bellefeuille. The latter and Mr. Bean are socialists, although Ex-Alderman Bean was not endorsed by his party, Ex-Councilman Belle- feuille being the only candidate of the socialists to win a place on the ticket.

LOWELL

The unusual political conditions lent a novel interest to the work of nominating city officers at Haverhill this past week. women were allowed to vote, and less than 100 availed themselves of the privilege.

Patrolman George H. Brown, of the Lowell police force, made one of the most sensational campaigns in the history of state politics. He was granted a leave of absence from duty and at once began a whirlwind campaign for the office cf mayor, making the policy of the police department his issue. Browns candidacy was bit- terly opposed, but he won the Re- publican nomination by a large majority. Former Mayor James B. Carey was nominated on the Demo- cratic ticket.

The scoring was all done in the second half. The school team began in the middle of the field to carry the ball for short, steady gains through the line and Boland was pushed over for the first score. The next score came when a pass for a punt was inter- cepted by the school eleven on the 30 yard line, and a few line plunges carried the ball over.

Firemen's Ball

The members of the Andover Fire department sounded the call for their annual entertainment and hall last night, and a large company answered the summons at the town hall. This was the thirty-seventh gathering the firemen have arranged, and to Judge from the size of the company present the affair seems to grow yearly, in public favor. And it was a merry party, unaffected by the diamal weather conditions of the night.

Long before eight oclock the halt began to fill up and by the time the entertainment begun the hall was well filled. The entertainment arranged this year consisted of a series of moving pictures given by Prof; Howard of Boston.

It was 10 oclock when the hall was cleared and the dancing begun. The Columbian orchestra furnished en- livening music for the Ions; order of dances. After the thirteenth dance the music ceased long enough for the serving of refreshments, and then went on again until the early morning hours brought the "all out".

A substantial sum was added to the relief fund as a result of this entertainment and dance.

The committee of arrangements for the ball were: Capt. W. I. Morse, 2nd Lieut G. R. Morse, 1st Lieut. C. S. Buchan, Clerk C. A. Hill, Tress. F. M. Smith.

In charge of the floor was F. M. Smith and his aidsvwere: Capt W. I. Morse, 2nd Lieut. G. R. Morse, Ira Buxton, C. H. Harnden, F. L. Collins, J. Nice, N. Chadwick, B. M. Anderson, 1st Lieut. C. S. Buchan, Clerk C. A. Hill, F. E. Morse, W. Baker, G. E. Morse, W. T. Rea, R. B. Manning, G. C. Dunnells. Substitutes—N. Holt, J. Anderson, C. Emerson, D. Ander- son.

Among those present were firemen from Lawrence, North Andover, Me- thuen, Reading, Wakefield, and Mai- den. Some of the townspeople present were: Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Dane, Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Holt, Mr. and Mrs. P'rank Cole, Mr. and Mrs. John Mor- rison, Mr. and Mrs. John Collins, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Goodwin, Mr. and Mrs. George Dunnells, Mr and Mrs. Ralph Manning, Mr. and Mrs. Chsrles A.

Baptiat Church Note*

Beginning with Rev. Joseph Clark's addresses in two Andover churches on Nov. 15, the past week was surely a missionary one. Sent out by the American Baptist Missionary Union, he has seen many years of service on the field, and his inspiring words showed that it was good service. Wonderful meetings have been held in Boston, and the Baptist congregation were glad to hear from these in the morning service last Sunday. The Pastor gave a report of some of them, bringing up the principal points of the great missionary campaign.

For the church evening service, the C. E. Society had secured a speaker to take up "Immigration," the missionary topic for the month. Mrs. M. C. Reynolds, Cor. Sec. of the Woman's Baptist Home Mission society, spoke of the great needs of the work in our own country, giving personal observations, a few statistics, and a plea for help from all. In Mr. Clark's addresses, in the meetings of the Layman's Movement, and in this last address, the thought was the same, . . . the personal touch. It is our lives that are needed. Christ said, "Go . . preach;" "Go . . tell."

In the Christian Endeavor meeting last Sunday evening, the new officers and committees were installed by the Pastor. After a few general remarks in which emphasis was laid on this fact, that "the first place in the kingdom means an opportunity to serve." Mr. Lombard addressed in turn each officer and committee, showing the duties of each, impressing upon his audience the dignity, honor, and privilege of service for the Master. Surely the society must do better work during the next six months because of these wise and fitting words.

Benefit Concert

There was a good audience present in Abbott Village hall last Friday night to hear the benefit concert given by local talent. All the numbers on the program were well received, and about sixty dollars was the net sum cleared.

St. Matthew's Lodge

A special communication of tit. Matthew's lodge, A. F. & A. M., will be held Saturday, at 1.45 p.m., to attend the funeral service of our late brother, Thomas F. Pratt.

Ben Hur at the South Church

To-night the story of Ben Hur will be illustrated with the stereopticon at the South church. Admission will be free, but a collection will be taken. The story-teller will be Col. J. Wil- der Fairbanks of Boston. He is a well-known lecturer, and his slides on "Ben Hur," many of them beautifully colored, are especially fine ones.

Readers of the thrilling story, or those who have never read it, will be equally interested. The lecture is under the auspices of the South church Knights of King Arthur.

During the lecture, Miss Mabel Carter will sing, "Holy Night," "The Holy City," and "Nearer, my God, to Thee."

Proposed Massachusetts College

The evolution of public education in Massachusetts and in most of the Eastern States has hitherto failed to give all boys and girls who would like it a practically free college education. The higher learning, and training for the learned professions, now costing at least $1600 for a four years' residence in a college community, is too expensive for a large majority of the population. It is here proposed to establish, without State aid, Massachusetts College, an institution for both sexes based on the best traditions of the American College, but differing from all other colleges in that^rfs exercises will be held at widely distributed centres of population in Massachusetts, the expense will be very small, and the students may continue to enjoy the benefits and moral restraints of home, and in some cases to work for a livelihood.

The students of the College will as- semble in a number of places within the Commonwealth, such as Boston, Brockton, New Bedford, Plymouth, Barnstable, Fall River, Salem, Low- ell, Lawrence, Havcrhill, Gloucester, Natick, Newton (or Waltham), Fitch- burg, Athol, Barre, Milford, Spring- field, Holyoke, Northampton, Am- herst, Greenfield, Pittsfield and North Adams. In each of these places existing high or normal school buildings, well equipped with apparatus, may be used for afternoon and evening lectures, recitations and examinations. In some places the larger halls of the older colleges or prepa- ratory schools may be available for lectures and class meetings. A beginning will be made September 1, 1909, in several carefully selected places. As ninety-eight per cent of the student population live on the lines or steam or electric railways, they can be assembled at places convenient for the exercises, at small cost to themselves.

Each regular student will pay an entrance fee of $30.00, and an annual tuition fee of $27.00, if three term- subjects at $30.00 each are taken for three semesters. The total cost for four years of study, including thirty- six lecture courses of forty-five hours each (but not including car fares, text-books and stationery) will thus amount to $138, or an average of $34-50 per annum. Students who are dropped for incompetency will be per- mitted to continue attendance at lectures for which they have paid tuition fees. Special students will pay $5.00 for each term-subject taken, and no entrance fee.

The institution will be incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts, with authority to grant degrees, and will have in Boston, offices of administration, a library, a publication office and a bureau for those who seek employment after graduation. Combined with the library a bureau of information might well be established for the general public, who by paying the cost can obtain data concerning matters statistical, educational, governmental and commercial.

The legislative function will be exercised by a Board of Trustees, consisting of seven members, and this board will be self-perpetuating. It will elect for the College a President, a Secretary and a Treasurer. It will directly control the College and make all appointments, on nomination by the President, whose duties will be executive.

The advisory function and duty of inspection will devolve upon a Board of Advisers, whose recommendations will be acted on by the Trustees and Faculty. The Board of Advisers at the outset will consist of persons of prominence identified with public education and the Founders, and will be recruited from the Alumni by a method of election hereafter to be devised. The Faculty will control all matters pertaining to discipline and curriculum, and its membership will include the deans, professors and assistant professors.

Degrees will be conferred, on rec- ommendation by the Faculty, by joint action of the Boards of Trustees and Advisers.

It is planned to raise by private subscription for the foundation of Massachusetts College a fund of three million dollars, to be called the Founders' Fund. Givers of fifty

thousand dollars or more shall be called Founders and be permanent members of the Board of Advisers. Smaller subscriptions will be welcomed, but will not admit givers to that Board. It is proposed to begin the work of organization as soon as the sum of one million dollars is sub- scribed.

It is estimated that the income from students' fees will cover the salaries of lecturers and resident staffs. This estimate is based upon average classes of one hundred in the urban centres and of fifty in the rural centres. It is believed that the income from the Founders' Fund, when the latter amounts to $3,000,000, will cover the cost of administration and all expenses other than salaries of the teaching staff. At some later time, when the College has demon- strated its great value to the community, if its expenses exceed its income, a further appeal may be made for financial help. It is confidently believed that all money needed may be secured from wealthy individuals who feel interested in the welfare of the State and its children.

The plan proposed has been received with favor by principals of high schools, college presidents and professors, members of the State Board of Education, and others, and it now remains to be seen whether people of means will become founders. One subscription of $100,000 and several smaller sums have been pledged.

LEGAL WORD SPECIALISTS.

Hiv< to Know Exact Shade of Moan- ing In Words and Phrases.

"Some people seem to think that an Important legal document can be drawn up by a lawyer In the time It takes his client to smoke a cigar," remarked a gray hatred law clerk the other day. "It takes time and the most scrupulous care to get things Just right If lawyers were not careful the Lord only knows where the clients would land.

"Why, I know a man in one of the great law offices who is a specialist in the exact shads of meaning of each word or phrase used in a legal document Nothing goes oat of that office without being submitted first to htm to pass upon. Sometimes he will give a week to the study of but one short but very Important paper, theorizing as to the possibilities of its meaning being construed this way and that When he gets through with a document however, and has submitted every word of It to the acid test there la practically no chance of Its not being exactly right as to Its verbiage at least In lome cases, too, It Is deemed desirable by clients to becloud the meaning of a contract so that there is a loophole tor Its being construed in another way In the event of certain contingencies occurring. That la where- the services of an expert word juggler are Indispensable.

"The biggest case that I ever heard of In this line was when one of the great corporations wished to Issue some mortgage bonds against Its property. A long contract had to be drawn, and the wording on the back of the bond had to be decided upon. The matter was so Important that after the attorneys themselves bad decided on the forms to be used. It Was turned over to two of these experts In verbiage.

"They looked up the dictionary meaning of practically every word used In the two documents and made Innumerable changes and suggestions. Before the papers were finished thirty different drafts of each of the two documents bad been made, and there was not a word used In the final form of the papers that had not been considered carefully, not only as to Its Individual meaning, bnt also as to Its Individual relation to the other words of the phrase or sentence containing it It la safe to ssy that these two documents are never likely to be assailed successfully In a court of law and that they mean exactly what the corporation and Its connsel wished thtm to mean."—New York Press.

BEYOND NEED OF PROTECTION

Our Nation's "Infant Industries" Have Reached Maturity

CARNEGIE'S VIEWS ON TARIFF

The Andover Bookstore, PRESS BLDO.

Bays Duties on Manufactured Ooods

Should Be Reduced or Abolished--

Favors Tsx on Luxuries Used by

the Rich--Duiies Upon Imports

For Needsd Revenue Should Not

Become a Party Question

New York, Nov. 23.—A notable article from Andrew Carnegie, dealing with the tariff, will appear in the forth- coming December number of the Cen- tury Magazine, in which the Iron master takes the position that "infant In- dustries" no longer need protection.

He declares that the steel and other industries have now grown beyond the need of tariff protection; that duties on luxuries used by the rich should be maintained, but that those on manufactured articles should be reduced greatly, or abolished entirely when no longer needed.

Mr. Carnegie's article is entitled "My Experience With and Views Upon the Tariff." He reviews the tariff movements down to the present Dlngley law. and ssys that conditions have changed so greatly in the Interval that the tariff should now be viewed from a new standpoint. He assumes that a decided majority of American voters are agreed:

"First—That it Is advisable for new countries to encourage capital by protective duties, when "seen to be necessary to develop new industries.

"Second—That after full and exhaus- tive trials, If success be not finally at- tained, such protection should cease, except as noted hereunder.

"Third—That should the experiment succeed, protection becomes unnecessary, and should steadily but gradually be abolished, provided that the home supply of any article absolutely necessary for the national safety shall not hereby be endangered."

Further on Mr. Carnegie says: "We have already become by far the greatest of all manufacturing nations. Our 'infant industries' of the past have reached maturity, and, sneaking generally, are now quite able to protect themselves.

"While the tariff as a whole, even today, has ceased to be primarily beneficial as a measure of protection, it has become of vast Importance from the standpoint of revenue, and It is to this feature I bespeak the special attention of readers of all parties, for duties upon Imports, not for protection, but for needed revenue should not become a party question. Reasonable men of all parties may be expected to approve this plan of obtaining revenue."

After giving tables showing that the bulk of tariff duties are collected on luxuries used by the rich, Carnegie says:

"Thus does the American tariff, in happy contrast to others, almost exempt the poor and heavily tax the rich. just as It should: for It Is they who have the ability to pay as required by the highest enonomlc law."

Mr. Carnegie says of future tariff legislation: "The next congress dealing with the tariff will probably be inclined at first to reduce duties all around, and, perhaps, to abolish some, but Its first care should be to maintain present duties, and even In some cases Increase them on some articles used almost exclusively by the rich, and this riot for protection, but for revenue not drawn from the workers, but from the rich.

"This Is the first and prime duty of congress. We should not forget that government expenditures have In- creased enormously In recent years and that additional revenue Is required.

"Its second duty Is to reduce duties greatly upon manufactured articles and to abolish entirely those no longer needed."

Further on he says: "The Infant we have nursed approaches the day when he should be weaned from tariff milk and fed upon the stronger food of free competition. It needs little If any more nourishing, but the change should not be made abruptly.

"There Is no occasion for haste or for any revolutionary step In coming tariff legislation. It is better to go a little too slow than a little too fast"

Dealing In Huge Figures London. Nov. 24.—Another Irish land

bill to facilitate the carrying out of the previous land purchase act was Intro dnced In the honse of commons last night by Chief Secretary for Ireland Blrrell. He said he found that the estimate of $500,000.00(1 as the amount necessary to satisfy the land hunger of the tenants was totally inadequate: (900,000,000 would be required for this end.

NEW ENGLAND ARTERIES

Use of Highways and Fisheries Econ- omy Discussed by Governors

Boston, Nov. 25.—Two Interesting and what win probably prove valuable sessions, one devoted to the protection end promotion of the supplies of sea food, and' the other to highways and their use, closed the first New Eng- land conference, called by the governors of the six states, to discuss uniform laws and to obtain suggestions toward conserving the resources of this section sf the country.

Francis H. Herrlck, special Investiga- tor on the lobster for the United States bureau of fisheries, read an Interesting paper on the preservation and proroga- tion of that shellfish, which he called the king of the crustaceans, while George W. Field, chairman of the Mas- sachusetts fish and game commission, discussed lower forms of shellfish, the clam, quahog and oyater.

Chairman Parker of the Massachu- setts highway commission read a paper on the construction of highways, Jsmes H. MacDonald, commissioner of highways of Connecticut, spoke at length on trunk lines of highways In New England, and Nahum J. Bachelder of New Hampshire discussed automobiles and their regulation.

The session ended with an interesting discussion of the various papers, and a rote of thanks and appreciation to Governor Guild of Massachusetts.

The first day's session was marked by the presentation of two papers, one on the cultivation of forest trees by Na- tional Forester Ptncbot, and another on New England's opportunity In or- chards by Professor Cralg of Cornell.

All the papers read and suggestions made at the three sessions will be referred respectively to the state chiefs of departments covering forestry, shellfish and highways, with Instructions to meet, consider and report to the In- coming governors before Jan. 1 their findings In regard to uniform laws for ai: New England.

MAGNESS SERVING HIS SENTENCE

Romance of President's Yacht Ends on Prison Ship

Portsmouth, N. H., Nov. 25.—O. L. Magness, husband of- the daughter of the late United States Senator Gor- man of Maryland, who was recently convicted on a charge of deserting from the navy, arrived here last nlg*ht and was sent on board the prison ship Topeka to serve a year's sentence.

Magness is a native of Baltimore and Joined the navy In 1905 as a first- class musician. He played a clarinet. While serving aboard the president's dispatch boat Dolphin he became acquainted with Miss Ada Gorman.

The next thing was a sensational surprise to society. They were married and he deserted from the navy.

The tunnel will not be opened for public travel, however, for another fortnight or more.

The trip was In the nature of an official inspection, and the thousand persons who were the guests of the transit commission snd the ralway company appeared greatly and favorably Im- pressed with the new tunnel, which is considered a masterpiece of engineering.

The first train through the tunnel consisted of eight cars, the kind of train that will be operated when the tube is opened to public travel. As in the case of the trains which are now operated through the Treniont street subway and which are to be transferred to the new tunnel, motive force Is supplied through the "third rail."

Tlie Washington street tunnel was built by the Boston transit commission and has been leased to the Boston Elevated Railway company for twenty- five years. Its cost, Including approaches and equipment, exceeded $10,000,000.

The opening of the new tunnel will give Boston a total underground railroad system of approximately four miles. The Treniont street subway, which was the first of Its kind to be built In this country, Is one mile and a quarter long; the East Boston tunnel, running under the harbor, is one and a half miles long, while the new tunnel Is 5076 feet from portal to portal, making a total distance of 20,106 feet, or nearly four miles.

The new tunnel provides a two-track system throughout its entire length, with five stations for northbound and live for southbound trains. Each sta-j t!on has a platform 350 feet long, capable of accommodating eight-car trains. '

The stations are In the very heart of the shopping, theatre and hotel ills-, trlcts. There are no doors at any of the entrances or exits of the tunnel,! all being left open for the free pass-, age of air. being closed when not In usej only by grill work. The entrance lob-: bles are of hammered granite compo- sition and the Interior of the tunnel for the most part Is of white glazed tile. Mosaic lettering designates the name of the station and Indicates the various stations of the tunnel In both direc- tions.

Each statlqn Is supplied with a parcel room, telephone booths, news stand and clock, while a limited apace Is reserved for advertisements. The lighting is by Incandescent lamps arranged In the hollowR of arch ceilings, so as to be but little seen. Three sources of sup- lily prevent the plunging of stations into darkness through unavoidable accidents, and to keep the tunnel free from water two powerful pumps are Installed which act automatically. Four* fan chambers, situated along the length, of the tunnel, will exhaust the foul air through ducts In the celling, fresh air entering at the stations.

Except for the hand rails at the entrances, there la scarcely a bit of wood throughout the tunnel, doors, ticket offices, telephone booths and package rooms being of sheet bronze, while the closets, stands and seats are of concrete.

The tunnel connects with the Bast Boston tunnel at State street and here, as at one or two other points, escalators' facilitate the transfer , of passengers between the different levels.

Save the High Hills

It is rumored that Wood Hill is to be chopped off, and thus another one of Andover's beautiful forest covered hills is to become a blot upon the landscape.

It is said that the owner, Mr. F. E. Batcheller of Lawrence, Mass., is to start men in a short time cutting off the wood. We hope that this is not so. Wood Hill is one of the most beautiful sections in the western part of Andover. Previous to the opening of the "Andover Bridge" in 1793 there were no bridges across the Merrimack, and the road which winds around the easterly base of this Hill was traveled by scores of teams on their way to "Harris Ferry", which crossed the river from Andover into the easterly side of Dracut. Since that time, of course, the travel has been very light, but it is still a beautiful winding country way untouched by the up-to-date methods of macadam or other modern street construction, and many city turn-outs travel over it in the summer time, because of its rural beauty.

It is a wonder that the hill has not been taken long ago by some of the wealthy city men for a residence like that planned by W. H. Binnian, Esq., who is to erect on Oak Hill in Weymouth a colonial mansion pat- terned after the Mount Vernon residence of George Washington, or like the beautiful chateau recently erected by General Ames of Lowell on Pros- pect Hill in Tewksbury.

Wood Hill has several advantages over the Tewksbury hill, in that it is higher, the view is more striking, taking in as it does that beautiful body of water, Haggett's Pond, which has been likened by many to "Loch- leven". The section is rich in historical interest, near the hill being the remains of a fortification erected early in the town's history as a protection from Indians.

Oak Hill in Weymouth may be very beautiful and the sea which helps to make the setting, adds greatly to itjs charm, but New England over, there are no towns offering more attractions for beautiful country estates than does Andover; save the high hills!

Editorial Cinders

The'football season may now he considered as officially closed. To count the number of games that made up the schedule for yesterday would be an almost impossible task, but all over the country Thanksgiving Day seems to now claim for one of its most important functions, the final reckoning of football championships.

***SJ

It is good to see the dwellers in our midst who come to "try out" Andover, develop into permanent residents. And when the permanency is fixed through the purchase of a home they are henceforth a part indeed of the town. The purchase by Mr. Bartlett H. Hayes of one of the most attractive places in Andover gives assurance that the position he already has in the town's activities is to become of yet greater value to its development and progress.

The local manufacturers are taking a deep interest in, and keeping a sharp watch upon, the tariff discussion. If New England comes out of this present agitation without a very serious clipping of her needed protection wings it will be a cause for very hearty thanks. Andover is vitally interested through her large linen thread industry and her part in woolen manufacturing.

Card of Thanks

Mr. and Mrs. Collier wish to thank all their kind friends for their help and words of sympathy in their recent bereavement.

Free Church Social

The ladies of the Free church will meet to pack a missionary barrel for the West on Friday afternoon and in the evening hold a sociable with interesting entertainment.

Successful Sale

The annual Thanksgiving sale was held at the Christ church parish house last Tuesday. The rooms and tables were prettily decorated for the affair and the different tables were well patronized. The sale was very successful, all the articles being sold, and a substantial sum was cleared.

Those in charge of the sale were: Mrs. Wm. Higgins, chairman, Mrs. F. Grout, Mrs. Dr. Walker, Mrs. Nesbit Gleason, Mrs. H. Knight, Mrs. H. Eames, Mrs. E. W. Pitman, Mrs. Dr. Hulme, Mrs. B. B. Tuttle, Mrs. W. Jewett, Miss Lucia Merrill.

Andover Mothers' Club

The Andover Mothers' Club will hold a regular meeting, Friday, Dec. 4th, at 3 oclock, in the kindergarten rooms of the Samuel Jackson school. Mrs. Hincks will be the speaker of the afternoon. Old and new members are cordially requested to attend.

John Birnie, of New York City, is visiting relatives in Frye Village.

Mr. and Mrs. George Brown, of Everett, spent Thanksgiving with Mrs. Browns parent's, Mr. and Mrs. William McTernen.

An Appreciation

In the death of Mr. Thomas F. Pratt which occurred at his home on Central street, Wednesday morning, Andover loses a most estimable and honored citizen.

A resident for more than thirty years, his many acquaintances will recall at the bare mention of his name, his genial goodwill, sunny disposition, and loyalty to his friends, which with his sterling integrity distil guished all his relationships in social and business life. Coming to Ando- ver, Mr. Pratt married Miss Elizabeth Punchard Abbott, and built the house on Central street, where with the exception of one or two brief intervals, he has ever since resided.

A lover of his town, he was always interested in whatever pertained to her welfare, whether social, educational or religious, and he served her in different capacities from time to time, the last being as a member of the Park Commission.

In politics a Republican, he never theless voted for the candidate, who in his judgment seemed best fitted to perform the duties of his office, fear- lessly and for the good of the town, whether the said candidate was a Re- publican or Democrat.

At an early age he entered the employ of the Old Boston National Bank as messenger and remained in their employ for over thirty-five years, advancing in time to the position of active cashier, which position he filled for many years with credit to himself and to the bank. In 1004 he began to show signs of failing health, and finding the daily journey to Boston drew heavily upon his strength, upon the advice of his physician he reliquished his position with the Old Boston Bank and entered the employ of the Andover Savings Bank, remaining there two years. His health becoming partially restored again, he accepted a position with the firm of George Mixter in Boston, as confidential clerk and attorney, where he remained until the beginning of his last illness.

Mr. Pratt was a member of the Old South church, and filled at different times the office of treasurer, deacon, superintendent of the Sabbath school, and member of the board of assessors, and while failing health at last compelled him to withdraw from active service he never lost interest in the church or its affairs.

A great lover of music, possessing a fine voice, he took especial delight in the music of Jhe church, serving on the music committee, as a member of the quartet, and as a soloist from time to time. Although told that he had a fortune in his voice, and although he had been offered a position with a large salary, he refused, declining to receive any compensation for his services, saying that whatever gifts he possessed in this direction were freely given as a thank offering to the Lord.

Mr. Pratt was a member of the Free Masons and Odd Fellows and a member of the Royal Arcanum.

Funeral services at) the home Sat- urday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. F. R. Shipman. All friends are invited. Burial private.

Punchard Wins Trophy

Punchard High and Methuen High met in their annual battle of the gridiron at Glen Forest, Thanksgiving morning, the former team winning easily by a score of 17 to o. The game was witnessed by about 500 students and supporters of both teams, who gathered to cheer their respective favorites on to victory. The bleachers on the north side of the field were occupied by the Methuen aggregation, while the Andoverites chose the opposite side. All of the scoring was done in the second half when both the half-backs and fullback carried the ball over Methuen's goal for a touchdown each. Smith kicked two out of the three tries at goal.

By winning this game the Pun- chard school obtains permanent possession of the football trophy of fhe Triangular league, having won the championship for three successive seasons.

In the first half both teams put up a fine defensive game and although Punchard was at times forced to a very stubborn defence, the team never had their goal line in much danger. But in the second half Methuen was unable to stand the pace longer, and a series of line plays gave Andover its first touchdown. Again Andover gained possession of the ball on a fumble within 18 yards of Methuen's goal, and no difficulty was experienced in going over for a second touchdown. Smith this time kicking the goal. End runs and line plunges enabled Andover to make its third touchdown quickly.

Both teams played a fine clean game, the Andover team, however, proving the superior in team play.

The line-up: METHUEN PUNCHARD Bower, le re. Lindsay Johnson, It rt, Hickey Needham, lg rg, A. Morrison Douglas, c c, Rhodes Bodwell, rg lg, Haigh Hayes (Bragdon), rt It, Morrison Butler, re le, Towne Garry, qb qb, Kyle Hyde (Oliver), lhb rhb. Smith Mahoney, rhb lhb, Boland Houston, fb fb, Anderson

Reception

Last Friday evening, from 8 to 10, in Punchard hall, the school board gave the annual reception to the teachers in the town schools and the faculties of Phillips and Abbot. There was a large attendance at the reception. The teachers were received by chairman of the school board, Mr. C. J. Stone, and Mrs. Stone, and Supt. and Mrs. Hutchinson. Refreshments were served during the evening.

Obituary

Thomas F. Pratt died at his home on Central street last Wednesday morning. Mr. Pratt had been an invalid for a few months.

THANKSGIVING SERVICE

The union Thanksgiving services of the Andover churches were held yesterday at the South church. Rev. F. R. Shipman of the South church had charge of the services and was assisted by the pastors of the other churches. Rev. M. W. Stackpole of Phillips Academy delivered the sermon, which was as follows:

Isaiah 61:3. "The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness/'

We think and talk a good deal about clothes, yet would it be desirable if we made no effort for variety or taste in dress? Clothes are symbols and they speak a language; tney express sorrows and joys, follies and charms. Care for one s personal appearance betokens some degree at least of self-respect and is indeed one expression of considerateness for otuer people. By some persons clothes are put to unworthy use to display difference of krircumstances while by others they are made the means of giving genuine pleasure. A guest otters a delicate compliment by appropriate dress while the hostess shows considerate courtesy in refraining from display.

But clothes are often conceived, especially in the Bible, as symbols of spiritual attributes—of humility, of honor, of righteousness, of strength, of purity. The redeemed are pictured in white robes while sinners wear rilthy rags.

In old usage the word habit often meant clothes and perhaps this figure is implied in our modern use of the word. Clothes aptly represent a habit of the mind, an habitual disposition 01 the heart, a prevailing mood, or a controlling purpose. The garment of praise is the habitual mood or disposition of thankfulness and appreciation. Which clothes are the more comfortable, more appropriate, more becoming for us, the sombre, misshapen, ragged garments of ingratitude and complaint, or the bright graceful robes of thanksgiving and joyousness.

You are familiar with the incident of the guest who was expelled from the marriage feast because he did not have on a wedding garment. Perhaps you said to yourself, "That was unfair. That man had been invited with the rest and he came from the street with the other poor people. How could he obtain or afford tine clothes for this feast! So long as he behaved himself he should have been allowed to stay. It was cruel to call attention to his poverty and to disgrace him in that rough way." And if you said that I think you were right. And perhaps you have wondered why Jesus used this instance. Does Jesus mean to teach that God is like that king?

But someone makes this suggestion : "Was it not the custom for those eastern kings to supply from their great wardrobes suitable garments for all their guests? And UiJ

procure And, therefore, does

not the man represent one who has neglected to seek God's forgiveness and help and does not therefore belong in his kingdom?"

But I want to suggest another way of looking at this story. I think that the king was unfair and I am sure that Jesus could not have approved »of what he did nor have meant to teach that God is like that king in his treament of unworthy people. Our Lord once told another story of a shrewd but un- just steward who cheated his master to make friends for himself, but Jesus certainly did not intend to praise that ancient "grafter". Jesus did not use such characters as moral examples. He did not commend the king nor necessarily condemn the guest. The king was cruel and the guest was perhaps neglectful and the steward in the other parable was surely dishon- est. Bjit the steward's zeal for his future comfort suggested to Jesus a higher moral zeal, while the man without a wedding garment represents one who does not share the happy spirit of those who are about him, one who is not spiritually in har- mony with his surroundings. The action of the king was the rebuke of such a man—a suggestion that he was out of place. At a wedding celebration he did not wear the garment of praise.

You might invite some, poor children to a party. If one boy had a hole in his stocking or a patch on his sleeve you would not ask him to go home again. But if any boy whether well dressed or poorly dressed, tried to break up the games or smash the best toys and was ugly to everyone he might have to go home. That is the kind of boy that is not wanted. Nor does one want the boy or the girl who "wont play!'. Our Lord himself has told us what he thought of children of that kind. Very likely he had often watched a group of children in the village squares playing the game which we call "dumb crambo". And when he wanted to rebuke some of his enemies who were always finding fault with him he said they were like offish children who would not dance when their companions on the other side blew their horns.

A sixteen year old boy comes home from school for Thanksgiving. There is the usual home festival, but he now feels himself too grown up to join in the old childish games and so he sits apart surly and superior. Another example is the elder son who refused to join in the rejoicing of his father and all the household when his lost brother returned, or old Scrooge in the Christmas carol before he was changed by his dream from a crusty ? Tumbler to a hearty and generous riend.

It happens again and again at social occasions that some one comes, faultlessly dressed but clothed in a "spirit of heaviness" instead of the appropriate garment of praise. He will not take his thoughts from himself, he will not enter at all into the

EARTHWORKS IN ANDOVER

In the southerly part of Andover, not far from the Essex Turnpike and near the residence of Mrs. Baker, an earthwork has been found. It is situated on the top of a ridge of the same geological formation as Indian Ridge. The earthwork is about twenty rods in length. It consists of a trench and an embankment. The trench, in some parts of it, is a little mor than three feet deep, and the level top of the embankment is about six feet wide. The direction of the earthwork is nearly east and west. The embankment is on the north and the trench on the south side of the earthwork. There is a trout brook at the base of the ridge and Foster's Pond and Mar- tin's Pond are not far away. The writter in inclined to the belief that the earthwork formed one side of a four sided stockaded Indian village, and that the other sides have been obliterated by the cultivation of the land. There was formerly a dwelling house near the southern side of the earthwork, and it is probable that the land near the house was cultivated. This earthwork is similar to that found near the western shore of Hag- gett's Pond and persons skilled in In- dian antiquities are of the opinion that the earthwork near Haggett's Pond was a part of an Indian stock- adfc^Professor Moorehead is quite surcthat the earthwork in the southerly part of the town was constructed by the aborigines, but he does not think that it was a part of a stock- adad Indian village; he does not consider the ground sufficiently level to form the site of an Indian village. However, he intends to study the earthwork, and to make excavations in it and in its vicinity.

Undoubtedly the earthwork near Haggett's Pond formed one side of a stockaded Indian village. The writer cannot do better than quote Professor Moorehead's description of it in Bulletin III issued by the Ar- chaeological Department of Phillips Academy. The Mr. Willoughby referred to in the extract is a skilled archaeologist and ethnologist of Harvard University: "The embankment is sixty-six meters long. The ditch is on the side furthest from the pond, and the work itself is (esti- matted) four hundred or five hundred meters from the water's edge. From the bottom of the ditch to the top of the embankment is some one and one-third meters, although at certain points the ditch is not so deep. With- in the trench, upon the embankment, and upon the eastern or pond side, are numerous old growth stumps. On the opposite side (west) there are no larger stumps, and the growth is manifestly of recent origin. The land a few hundred feet to the west lias been long under cultivation. The ends of the trench and embankment are nearly obliterated, but enough remains to indicate that at these points they turned abruptly to the

southern houndary of the fort or stockaded village. Mr. Willoughby therefore concluded that the present embankment is all that remains of an enclosure which surrounded an Indian town, the northern, southern, and western embankments having been ploughed away and the ditch filled by early owners of the land. The soil at the point where the embankment still stands may have been poor, or the timber may have been thick and heavy. At any rate, for some reason this portion of the work was not obliterated by the land owners. The village was rather extensive in size and palisades crowned the embankment."

It has been suggested that these two earthworks were constructed by the early settlers as places of refuge. But the defences of the early settlers of. Andover were block houses and garrison houses. There were eight garrison houses in Andover; one near the South church; one on the bank of the ' Merrimack river near the "Deer Jump"; others along the Mer- rimack. No trace of them is left.

The earthwork on Carter's Hill has been supposed to be the work of the aborigines, but the following extract from Bulletin III is opposed to that belief: "Mr. Willoughby gave it as his opinion that the Carter's Hill work is not Indian; that the hilltop had been long cultivated and that a stone wall or a fence once enclosed the space known as the "fortification", continued ploughing, presumably in the same direction, gradually worked earth from the field against the wall, where it banked up. After the wall was removed the ridge remained as a landmark."

The Andover soccer team won from Bunting in decisive style last Satur- day afternoon on the cricket field. This was a regular league game in the Lowell, Lawrence and District. Both teams started the game with fast football, but Andover soon forced the play and took a safe lead. For the winners Alex, and William Black and R. Anderson played well and Butler, Ritchie and Brown put up a very creditable game for the Lowell team.

OUR CLUBBING OFFER

On another page the Townsman presents a clubbing offer, which we are enabled to make through a very advantageous arrangement with a first-claaa publishing house. The Townsman does not usually join with another publication in these joint offers, but we have now just the kind of offer we are glad to make, for the periodicals we unite in this clubbing list are such as we believe will be welcomed and enjoyed in Andover homes.

There is a flood of literature in the country to-day, and it is no easy matter to pick out just the kind that will tit into the family life and also contain something of interest for all the members of the household. And it is because they seem to fill this very need that we are glad to present our combination.

The Townsman will present next year, as it has ever tried to present, the news of the town in accurate, readable fashion. And more than that, it is intended that the next year will see the Townsman more newsy, more convenient, and a better looking sheet than ever before. Several plans are now being worked up to add much to the paper, both in interest and appearance.

The Ladies' World is a well edited, well illustrated, and well printed monthly which is in charge of the former editor of the Delineator. It covers all the departments usually found in a big up-to-date magazine, published in the interests of the many things that appeal to women. It is a splendid magazine.

In Good Literature is found a periodical containing lots of good, clean, readable matter, and also lots of those departments which hold something of interest for readers of all ages. Magazines of this kind are always welcomed in a home and this is one of the very best of its class.

The Farm and Home has a particular appeal in this community where nearly everyone is interested in flowers and gardens. Every department of farm life is discussed in Farm and Home in practical, able fashion, and there are columns devoted to valuable discussion on the subjects of vital interest to the resident in a rural community.

The opportunity to get these magazines on very liberal terms is now. open to subscribers to the Townsman who pay the subscription in advance. The subscribers who have already paid for the paper for next year can have the magazines by paying 50 cents in advance.

Meet in Greenfield

The State Board of Agriculture will hold its annual winter meting, for lectures and discussions, at Greenfield, Mass., on December t, 2 and 3. These meetings have been a feature of the work of the Board from its establish- ment, being the forerunner of the farmers' institute work, which is now general all over the country. An unusually strong and attractive pro- gramme has been prepared for this meeting.

On Tuesday, the first day, there will be a lecture at 10.30 a.m., on "The Sheep Industry in Massachusetts," by Mr. L. B. Harris of Lyndonville, Vt. There have been signs of a re- vival of the sheep industry in Mass- achusetts, and the Board desires to do all that it can to encourage it. Mr. Harris has had much experience with sheep in Vermont, where their rasing has always formed a strong feature of farm work.

Prof. F. C. Sears, of the Massachu- setts Agricultural College, will speak at 2 p.m., on "The Planting of a Com- mercial Orchard in Massachusetts." Prof. Sears is a new man to.Massa- chusetts audiences, having recently come to the college, but has had a wide experience in this country and in Nova Scotia, and is thoroughly posted on fruit growing.

In the evening there will be a lecture on poultry keeping by Dr. James B. Paige, Professor of Veterinary Science at the Mass. Agricultural College, and himself a poultry breeder and keeper of note. Greenfield is the centre of an active interest in poultry, both fancy and utility, and this lecture is arranged for the benefit

of the large number of local people who are interested in the business.

On the second day the morning lecture, at 10.30 a.m., will be on "Prof- itable Bee Keeping," by Mr. Charles Stewart, Bee Inspector of the New York Department of Agriculture. Few people realize the extent of the bee industry in Massachusetts, or the number interested in it. So much has this line of work advanced in the last few years that a session of the meeting is none too much for it. Mr. Stewart is a practical bee keeper and an expert on bee diseases and their treatment.

Prof. H. H. Dean, of the Ontario Agricultural College, will speak at 2 p.m., on "The Cow and the Man,— Twins of the Dairy Industry." Prof. Dean has never spoken in Massachu- setts before and brings a new view point to bear on the somewhat familiar subject of dairying, will be a banquet under the auspices of the Greenfield Board of Trade. Prof. Rufus W. Stimson, Director Smith's Agricultural School, North- ampton, Mass., will deliver an address on "School and Farm."

On Thursday, the last day, there will be but" one lecture, at 10.30 o.ra., on "The Profitable Use of Commer- cial Fertilizers," by-Dr. E. B. Voor- hees, Director of the New Jersey Ag- ricultural Experiment Station. Dr. Voorhees is an authority on all subjects connected with the chemistry and use of fertilizers, and will gim. something well worth hearing. /

The meeting will conclude witkMn afternoon visit to the historic towli of Deerfield, including Pocumtock Me- morial Hall and its collection of colonial relics.

The headquarters of the Board will be at the Mansion House and the lectures will be given at Washington Hall. Admission to all lectures is free to the public and a good attend-

The One Condition.!

■j MARTHA COM SANFORD

Copyrlghtaa, 1908, by Aaaoclated Literary Preaa.

Beth was reading the bargain sales announced In tbe Sunday paper.

"We can get a morris chair, Nell, tor Hre-elghty-nlnel" she cried enthusi- astically. "It's tbe opportunity of a lifetime!"

"Any bargains In lace waists?" Nell asked Irrelevantly.

Betb laid down tbe paper in disgust. "You're changing, Nell Stafford," she

■aid sternly, "and not for tbe better. Tou used to be crazy over fixing up this little fiat. Now all you think of la clothes, and you know we agreed that clothes shouldn't count until we got everything we wanted In the way of household furnishings."

"But there's no end to It, Beth," Nell pleaded. "The Oat looks well enough. In fact. It's beginning to look better than we do. It's time we began to lire up to our surroundings."

"I suppose you mean Dick Wheeler," Beth Interpreted. "I notice be consti- tutes your surroundings most of the ttnio."

Nell Ignored the Innuendo. "Everything I possess Is old fashion-

ed and unbecoming," she continued. "I've been awfully patient, Betb; really I bave. I Just love pretty clotbes, and I'm going to have some If we never have a morris chair, so there!"

As Nell (Tew excited Beth became calmer.

"Considering wbat close friends we are, Nell," she said quietly, "I think you might tell me the truth."

Whereupon Nell, breaking Into tears, confessed her engagement

"It wasn't that I didn't want you to know," she sobbed, "but I couldn't bear to break up the little borne, Betb."

Beth pulled herself together heroical- ly.

"It Isn't going to be broken up," she ■aid, with determination. "Of course,

"1 BATE SEWING," CAM* A MUFFLED 11B- PLX FKOM THE PILLOW.

It won't be the same without you, Nell, but If you've got courage enough to commit matrimony after all we've said against It, why, then 1 guess I've got courage enough to carry out my convictions alone. Was It lace waists you asked the price of?"

This being the way Beth took the news, It was characteristic that she pursued her original Intention of visiting the furniture sale during her Mon- day noon hour.

She had junt settled down with an air of relaxation in a green cushioned morris chair, "sale price $5.89," when ■he was rudely startled out of It.

"This Is the only one we have with green cushions, sir," a salesman declared pompously to some one on his right, bringing his hand down by way of emphasis upon the crown of Beth's hat.

Apologies, greetings and explanations followed, during which the offending salesman tactfully disappeared. It was obvious that three made no party to this chance meeting.

"Will business keep you In the city long?" Inquired Betb. The question In- dicated more courtesy than Interest.

Gilbert Taylor's eyes twinkled. "It has kept me two yean so far."

he answered soberly. "I hadn't heard." Beth said rather

coldly. "And you?" he asked. There was no

doubt that his Interest was genuine. "Ah. I'm an established household-

er," Beth Informed him with no little show of pride. "A business chum and | I have a little flat together. That explains my monopoly of this morris chair. We need one, or, rather, wo want one. But I've just about decided to wait until I can afford leather cushions. They're so much more aristocrat- ic. Don't yon think so?"

GIMiert agreed. "But f*m awfully Interested In this

housekeeping experiment of yours. Elizabeth," be said earnestly. "I'm thinking of trying something of the •ort myself. You can give me a lot of jointers Take lunch with me, won't you?"

Elizabeth hesitated. She saw compli- cations ahead. Nevertheless, because rhere was no time to analyze possible tonsequences, she accepted.

"The lace waists," she explained to Nell that night, "were such wonderful bargains that I got two of them."

"Two!" exclaimed Nell. "Wbat on earth did you tblnk I wanted with two of them?"

"One Is for myself." Beth enlighten td ber.

NeTI looked inch volumes of astonish-

ment that Beta felt obliged fa make further explanation.

"Tbe flve-eighty-nlne morris chair looked common," she said loftily. "I •han't get on* till I can afford leather cushions. And, anyway, I've been thinking about what yon said yesterday—about the flat looking better than we do. There's some truth In It"

Nell could hardly believe her ears- Beth, who took life so seriously and spelled Career with a capital letter, yielding to tbe temptations of personal vanity. There must be some com- pelling reason tor It

Beth's next remark supplied It "I think I'll put my waist on tonight

Nell, If you'll help me. Gilbert Tay- lor's coming to call."

"Not tbe man you refused on account of your career?" gasped Nell.

"Did I ever mention refusing any one else?" Beth retorted, a bit Impa- tiently. - • • • • • • •

"It's as cozy as It can be," Gilbert exclaimed, looking around tbe artistic living room. "And It's so—so home- like." He hesitated for tbe proper word to express his feelings. "But I can see where a leather cushioned morris chair would be tbe crowning touch," he added laughingly. "Only what will you do with It, Beth, without a man In tbe family?"

Beth flashed a look of defiance at blm. It reminded Gilbert of the old days when she had held out so per- sistently that sbe had as much right aa be to an Independent life of ber own and meant to claim It

"I suppose you hare a notion," sbe answered him, with a fine show of superiority, "that morris chairs, like all other creature comforts, were Invented tor masculine monopoly."

"The average man hi a selfish beast" he admitted good naturedly, "but I'm not. You Bball sit In the morris chair every night, Beth. I won't say a word —If you'll"—

At this critical moment Nell darted In, securing a refractory hatpin In transit.

Beth Introduced Gilbert. "I was just complimenting Elizabeth

on your attractive little place here. HUM Stafford," he said easily. "She thinks It needs a morris chair to make it complete, and I had the stupidity to ask what she'd do with one without a man to occupy It. You're come just In time to settle the Question."

"I'm afraid I'm what you might call prejudiced, Mr. Taylor," Nell answered lightly. "I really believe ui both. If you can get them. When It cornea to choice—well, Beth knows my senti- ments. Dick's downstairs," she added, turning to Beth, "and I mustn't keep bim waiting. Good night"

She gare Gilbert an encouraging ■mile as sbe closed the ball door, but Beth was unaware of It.

"I take It Miss Stafford has matrimonial Intentions," Gilbert remarked when they were alone again. "That's going to upset your little menage, isn't it Elizabeth? What are you going to do?"

It was a brutal mistake. He knew it aa soon as the question bad escaped him.

But there was no audacious reply from Beth as he expected. Instead, her eyes filled, and she burled ber face in the cushions, sobbing aa if her heart would break.

Gilbert had ncrer before seen Beth unequal to a situation. Her helpless- ness touched him deeply.

"Beth," he said gently. "1 hare an Idea. Suppose I buy out Nell's domestic Interest?"

No answer, only fewer sobs. "You shall sit on a cushion and"— "No; I won't sew a fine seam. I

hate sewing." came a muffled reply from tbe pillow depths.

At that Gilbert gathered her to blm, laughing joyously.

"She shall Just eat strawberries, sugar and cream, then," he amended, with Indulgent tenderness. "All that I insist upon la"—

He paused, and Beth, flushed and disheveled, flashed him a challenging look.

"That she shall lore me," he finished softly.

And Beth accepted the one condition.

Would Export Labor not Raw Ma- tariala

New York's Working Girls. Before the great arc lights hare be-

gun to fizz and glow processions of work girls, of shopgirls, of professional girls, have passed up and down this great arenue of the city, which In variety of Interest and in claims to one's attention forma a strong rival to the Paris boulevards.

These young women are typical of New York and Indeed of the whole American continent In Independence, in fearlessness, In ability to act and think for themselves, they are clearly daughters of the new world, but In the taste and elegance of their clothes there Is something of tbe Parisian spirit, of that peculiar faculty for combining colors and blending effects Which Is certainly the heritage of the "ouvrlere" and yet seems by some mysterious means to have become wafted across the broad bosom of the Atlantic. You feel an atmosphere of well being, of solid contentment, prosperity and •elf esteem about the common people to the States. This is typified by these Well gowned, bright and pleasing young Women who carry out so large a part •f the daily routine of Uncle Sam. You see no dejected countenances. Why be dejected when you hare the tbance or at least the sweet illusion it being one day called to the highest destinies of the country?—Cor. Pall Mall Gazette.

A western manufacturer has brought out a new phase of the much discussed movement for the conservation of natural resources. In a letter to the National Conservation Com- mission, parts of which they have made public, he points out that not only ought prudence to be used in the consumption of the country's natural products, but that the possibility of a double saving lies in working up these raw materials and exporting the manufactured articles rather than the original iron or wood or other unfinished products.

"Broadly stated" he says, "the proposition is this: When we were a new country and our industrial life was that of a colony it was quite feasable to export the riches that Nature had treasured up on this continent. Our population has increased enormously and we must aim to get into a position where we can export labor instead of products. Every child that was born in the country brings two hands with it, but its presence does not add to the stores of nature. When we export petroleum, lumber, iron and other minerals, we are taking something from the wealth of the country. In exporting high finished products containing quality labor wc are placing into the foreign markets the labor of our people that increases directly with every increase in population. I have heard professors of political economy in Germany say, 'Let us buy our raw meterials abroad and export them in a high finished state. We shall then gain a double advantage, the one is that We do not deplete our natural stores, and the other is this, that then our people will be able to rise to a higher standard of living, for those who do quality work are better paid.'"

This idea is along the same line of argument that the advocates of con servation have been presenting—that waste consists not only in misuse of natural resources but just as mucii in the failure to utilize to the fullest extent economically possible—but it represents another step in that line.

The man who makes the suggestion is the treasurer of a big Indiana manufacturing company, which has been making threshing machinery and engines for more than half a century. His long business experience has given him a first-hand knowledge of the progress of the manufacturing industry in this country, and he has supplemented this knowledge by observations abroad.

"In our own business," he says, "we are feeling the dearth of lumber and anxiously looking around for substitutes that do not however furnish us with what we need for our separators and hullers. The increasing prices of this material will hamper us, especially in foreign competition.

"I wish that I could tell you in dollars and cents what the floods of recent years have cost us. One flood at Kansas City, where we had a six- story warehouse, cost us in actual cash $9,730, not to speak of.the loss of trade. This year's high water at that place did our business damage amounting to probably more than $35,000 or $40,000. We must have some regulation of the waters of the country so that elements of uncer: tainty and loss will be eliminated from business.

"But there is a further consideration that calls for the extension of navigable 'waterways wherever that is' feasible. Thirty or forty years ago our raw materials were at our doors. Lumber was cut two miles from our factory. Now* our lumber comes from Louisiana, and some of it even from the Pacific coast. Our products used to be sold in the immediate vicinity. Now, they go thousands of miles across the continent, and the item of transportation has become an important one in the cost of our business. Tile time is just coming when we can enter the South American markets to take advantage and dis- lodge the European manufacturerers who have commanded their trade for the last fifty years. We can do this if we can get a waterway from Chi- cago to the Gulf, and thence by the Panama Canal into the western half of the South American continent. If the Chicago to St. Louis big waterway is built the central western States in the district around Chicago will become the greatest manufacturing center of the world, but to compete with England and Germany we must have water frieght rates.

"During six years' residence in Ger- many I saw how much is being done there toward the preservation of forests and watched with keen interest the effect of the canals that were built by the Prussian Govern- ment upon the development of the industry of that country. The rise in land values alone would have paid the cost of digging the canals twice over.

••Preedent's Departure May Fur-

of Long Standing Disputes

Caracas, Nov. 25 —President Castro sailed yesterday from La Gualra on the steamer Guadeloup for Bordeaux to undergo an operation by a skilled specialist of Berlin. Efforts which were made recently to have Dr. Israel of Berlin come to Caracas failed. Aa an operation was Imperative and Castro's attending physicians were unwilling to take the responsibility, the president decided to go abroad.

The operation will be performed Im- mediately on Castro's arrival at Bor- deaux, where Israel will be In waiting. Should the operation be successful tbe president will visit Paris, where he will rest for a few days only, as he wishes to return to Caracas at as early a date as possible. Three of tbe leading Venezuelan physicians will accom- pany the president, and several members of his Immediate family.

The greatest excitement prevails In Caracas, and political intriguing already has commenced. It Is thought that the president's departure may open the road for the settlement of the Holland, American and French disputes. VIncente Gomez, the vice president, will assume the presidency.

President Castro Is suffering from an Internal abscess In the region of the kidneys snd his attending physicians long ago advised him that the only possible relief was in an operation by s German specialist. At that time there did not appear to be any Imminent danger and Castro decided to postpone the trip to Europe as long aa possible. Every effort was made to bring the specialist to Caracas, but recently a cablegram was received, announcing that the specialist selected, Israel, would be unable to make the trip.

When It was announced a few days ago that the president had finally determined upon proceeding to Europe. Caracas was all excitement. That he would only take this step as a last resort was known to everybody, and his most Intimate friends were disposed to doubt his avowed intention. Castro dreads the sea and has suffered severely from seasickness even on short water trips. He has never been out of Venezuela, and It Is now felt that extraordinary pressure must have been brought to bear upon him in order to have him consent to the voyage.

Especially lyuterestlng Is Castro's departure because of the embarrassing effect it Is likely to have on Holland's plans to force Venezuela Into revoking the trans-shipment decree, which Cas- tro has refused to do peacefully. If Holland should send out a confidential agent, as suggested by Castro In his last answer to Holland's demands, that functionary may find no Castro with whom to deal.

Money to B> Devoted to Work In Non-Chr-ittian Lands

Boston, Nov. 23.—Pledging Itself to raise $275,000 for foreign missionary work tbe coming year, tbe Laymen's Missionary conference, which has been holding a series of remarkable meetings in Boston the past week, closed Let night with a big meeting In Sym- phony hall.

Beginning with meetings In churches of the Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist, Congregational and Presbyterian faiths last Sunday, which were attended by 80,000 men, meetings have been held throughout the week, addressed by leading missionaries from many foreign lands and largely attended, culminating yesterday In crowded church gatherings during the day and a final mass meeting at Symphony hall.

General Secretary White and Dr. Grenfell, the Labrador missionary, addressed the men last night. Following tbe speaking a resolution was offered and accepted to increase the present appropriation of $1513,000 to $275,000 and to annually increase the fund tor foreign work until each church member In the denominations represented shall pay In $5 annually, the fund for the coming year representing but 2-3 of a cent per day for each such member.

The resolution further commended the work done In the past week In In- creasing Interest and support In the work of foreign missions, and declared the meetings to hare been the best attended and of most far-reaching results of any such meetings ever held anywhere.

Des Molnes, Nov. 24.—Today, Just fifteen years to a day since his first candidacy for the United States senate was announced, Governor Albert B. Cummins was elected to that position to succeed the late William B. Allison, who defeated Cummins only last June lit the Republican primaries. Cum- mins' first candidacy was an effort to succeed James F. Wilson.

glad friendly spirit of the gathering. He makes other people uncomfort- able; and he is the despair of his hostess. There ought to be some way by which he could be quietly dismissed.

If you can imagine a school boy who would not cheer a winning team or a citizen who would not join in national rejoicing over a great and honorable victory—you have another instance of the man without a wedding garment.

Our Lord gladly recived the loud praises of his followers as he entered Jerusalem. He did not suppress even the shouts of the children and when his jealous and bitter enemies, the Pharisees, called upon him to rebuke his disciples for hailing him as their king, Jesus declared that if they should hold their peace the very stones would cry out. At this time when all the nation should have re- joiced, these men refused to wear the garroents_4ji praise. The expul- sion of the man without a wedding garment is a rebuke to the unresponsive.

It has been a hard year in business. The automobiles multiply but there is widespread complaint about hard times, this burden falls most heavily upon the laboring man and upon the business man. in the view of many the business man has the heaviest task anyway and the shortest rest. Many pity him and he sometimes pities himself. He complains perhaps of the laws or of the administration or of the currency system. Perhaps he recognizes also those laws of human nature that are bound to bring about periodic reactions in business. Whatever the cause of recent unfavorable conditions, there is of course neither sense nor strength in an attitude of self-pity. The business man has no more right to be heavy hearted because trade is dull than has the teacher because bis salary is small, or the minister because fewer people than formerly go to church j on Sundays or Thanksgiving Days. In every profession and in every business it is plain good sense and it means greater efficiency to suppress discouragment and to look hard and often at the many signs of prosperity and of progress.

I often wonder at the habitual contentment which I see in the faces and hear in the talk of persons who seem to be engaged in dull routine work. 1 think of their long hours and of their short vacations and 1 wonder that day after day they can do their work in a child-like spirit of gladness and interest and hope. In comparison with this joyous company of workers, there are the others who carry into their daily toil "the spirit of heaviness", 'they are always anxious, always dissatisfied, and they are without ambition and without hope. How much better it would be for them if they too could adopt as a uniform the garment of joy. For the spirit of joy in work, of whatever kind or grade it may be, is the wholesome spirit for healthy Human beings. And the .worker who has not this spirit, like a soldier without his uniform, like the man without a wedding garm.nt, is out of place in the company in which he is found. The garment of praise is a good suit to work in. It matches overalls as well as bine serge.

We do not know that the man in the story had said anything uncompli- mentary about the bridegroom or his fellow guests, but certainly the wedding garment symbolizes a disposition of appreciation toward other people. We are urged by the advertisements to get this or that habit. By all means, I say, get the praise habit. Be on the lookout for cheerful faces and for kindly acts. Some of you are em- ployers, some are employed, and some of us are both and in each relation it is good to form the habit of ready appreciation of good work and of quick gratitude for friendly service. How much better this is as a part of the art of living with others than a heavy spirit — unresponsive and re served, or an attitude, constantly crit ical or cynical. Every moment of our lives we are receiving benefit from the service of our fellow men. Every day of our lives we are receiving attention and affectionate help from those near to us. Yet where the occasion for gratitude is greatest our response is often smallest. Unlike most clothes, the garment of praise is appropriate everywhere—it is alike admirable in the shop, in the store, in the kitchen, in the office, upon the street, and most of all in the home.

We are very particular about the clothes we wear to church. It is often very difficult for some people to ar- rive at church on time because of the elaborate preparations required. But when in some churches one hears a faint lagging Doxology, or a falter' ing hymn, one feels that he could forgive even severe simplicity in dress if more people came to church wearing the garments of praise. Life is more than meat, and the body than raiment. But how aptly the mood of many worshippers is described in that phrase "the spirit of heaviness". Many churches are indeed too sombre and some ecclesiastical robes suggest the garments of sorrow, but what prep aration of heart for the joy of worship is brought to the house of God by many worshippers.

It has been said that a certain na tion of people take their pleasures sadly. It is certainly true that too many people thus take their religion In the inevitable sense of sin and of struggle, they fail to foresee future victory. While you look to God as a present help in time of trouble do not forget that "in his presence is the fulness of joy". His day is to be "a day of rest and gladness", his gates are to be "entered with thanksgiving". His word begins with an an- them of praise and closes with a glad invitation. He who is too often called "the man of sorrows" said to his disciples: "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world". In his own mission he saw the fulfillment of the great prophecy!

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath

THE SEASON'S ENTERTAINMENT THE BOSTON SHOW

Park

When I went into the Park Theatre last night it did not take me long to recognize that that playhouse has come into its own again, and musical comedy of the clean, fragrant and sat- factory kind will hold sway there for many weeks. At this house last night Charles Frohman's musical play, "Miss Hook of Holland", which ran nearly all last season in New York, was the medium for introducing Frank Daniels, the funniest and most widely known of all the American laugh provokers, as a star under Charles Frohman's direction. The title of the play has been changed by drop- ping the "Miss" and it is now called "Hook of Holland'", but the quaint and pleasing book and the delightful songs remain unchanged.

But in addition to the merits of the music, even a stronger feature was the comic acting of the familiar Frank Daniels, who has compelled more people to laugh by the numerous hu morous creations in comic opera for many years than any other comedian, has a felicitous role as the widower, "Mr. Hook", and he kept the audience which crowded the theatre in a state of clcc every moment he was on the stajre. There is no use trying to analyze Daniels' art. You simply bnpli at him in spite of yourself and feel all the better for it. He cones ami,line on the stage in a gro- tesque make-up. as the prosperous Dutchman in Holland, who owns a distillery and has a pretty daughter as dear to him as his money or the receipt for the manufacture of "Crca:

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

Lawrence Opera House

It is not generally known that the late Joseph Jefferson was a co-author of "Shadows of a Great City," which is at the Opera House today and tomorrow, but such is the case, as he collaborated with L. R. Shewell in writing the play some 20 years ago. It has been a strong drawing card ever since. The production this season is said to be the most elaborate ever given to any melodrama on the American stage. Prices for the engagement will be popular,—10 to 50 cents, matinee, 15 and 25 cents, children 10 cents.

Otis Skinner will play "The Honor of the Family" Monday evening under the auspices of the Knights of Phythias.

Globe

Grace Merritt is appearing at the Globe in "When Knighthood was in Flower". As Mary Tudor , Miss Mer- ritt in her interpretation of the part gave pre-eminence to those qualities of fresh and frank boyishness which it is not impossible to believe the Princess Mary to have possessed.

But she did not carry this effect foo far; she grew more queenly under the influence of her sorrows and mis- fortunes. By the close of the play no one would doubt her to be of the blood royal. Thereby she was consistent, and her reading of the part on the whole pleasing. It is only to be regretted that she does not infuse somewhat more variety into the reading of her lines.

Of those supporting Miss Merritt two deserve high commendation, not only for their consistent relations with the drama, but with the historical characters which they represented. These were the impersonators of King Henry VIII. and the Duke of Buckingham. The former developed the miserly side of his character ex- cellently, while hte latter showed his craftiness commendably.

How to Wssh White Swesters

A girl's sweater is her most important as well as her most useful garment. If her shirt waists are badly made or shoes shabby, that is a minor consideration, but her sweater must be immaculate and up-to-date.

Every girl likes to wear nothing but white during the outing season, and great is her disgust when her mother insists upon her having a gray sweater for economy's sake in the firm be-

lief that the darker shade keeps clean longer and that all woolen goods are impossible to wash.

If proper care is taken sweaters can be washed all the time without hurting their shade and color. Fill a large bowl or basin with warm water and good soapsuds and add a teaspoonful of powdered borax to keep the wool from becoming hard and stiff.

If the sweater is white put a little bluing in the water every time it is rinsed. This will prevent it from turning a deep ivory, as all white wool matetnals are apt to do.

After washing wring out, then pin to a large bed pillow. Be sure not to stretch the sweater, or it will lose its shape.

This is a new idea in the Modern Priscilla: A small cup of common granulated sugar kept on the wasti- Btand and a good pinch rubbed well over the hands while they are covered with soapsuds will keep the hands toft and white while doing the rough- est work.

Boston

It was just previous to the razing of the old Boston Museum that "Sky Farm" was first produced in Boston. Since then scarcely a season has passed that the play has not been seen in Boston. Its appealing, homely and human characteristics have saved it from being ephemeral. The performance by the Boston Theatre Stock company in no way dimin- ishes its claim as a worthy and welcome perennial.

And there is that picturesque spot of the Berkshires so faithfully given and heightened by the broad expanse and distances afforded by the magni- tude of the Boston theatre stage.

tions for the fair are extensive and a good time is assured those who attend.

Hyde Lectures

HOUSEHOLD COLUMN The Townsman desires to make

this a column of real interest to the housekeepers of the town. If you have a recipe or a household suggestion which you would like to pass along, send it in; if you want a recipe or household suggestion, ask for it through the Townsman.

Rye and Indian Pancakes — One pint milk, one teaspoon soda, two eggs, a little salt; mix firm enough to cut off with a spoon in boiling lard with half rye and half Indian meal; molasses to sweeten.

Steak Stew—One round steak, cut into piecel of the desired size, then fried in drippings. When well browned sprinkle with salt, cover with hot water and simmer gently for one and one-half hours. Thicken the gravy and serve.

Quince Honey—Four large quinces, grated; three pounds of granulated sugar, one pint of water, alum the size of a pea; put the water, sugar, and alum in a kettle, boil and skim; put in the quinces and boil for ten minutes, then turn into jars and seal.

Aunt Abbie's Pudding—Pare, core, and quarter tart cooking apples, using enough to cover the bottom of a but- tered baking dish. Make a sponge cake batter according to any favorite formula and pour over the pieces of apple in. the pan. Bake in a moderate oven until the fruit is soft enough to be easily pierced by a straw. Serve with hard sauce. Vanilla, lemon or spice will do for flavoring.

Cheese Fondu—Put into a double boiler a tablespoonful of butter, a cupful of milk, a scant cupful of fresh, soft bread crumbs and two cupfuls of cheese, grated. Cover and cook until all ingredients are blended and creamy. Add two eggs, whipped light, and stir until the mixture thick- ens; put in a pinch of cayenne and a teaspoonful of salt and serve on toast or crackers.

Apple Biscuit—To one pint of light bread sponge add one-quarter cup of molasses, one tablespoonful of lard and graham or whole wheat for a soft dough. Beat vigorously and knead circumspectly, and finally work in a large cup of chopped apple (green- ings or russets), cut in bits as large as the end of your finger. Shape in muffin pans, sprinkle with brown sugar and let stand until very light before baking. Good either warm or cold.

Bran Cookies (Thick)—One cup Graham flour, two cups wheat bran, two tablespoonfuls of molasses, one teaspoonful soda, two cups of water.

Dumpling—Cupful of flour, tablespoonful of butter, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, little salt; mix all with water enough to stiffen. Sew up in a cloth and boil twenty-five minutes.

Five O'Clock Tea Biscuits—Put one tablespoonful of butter into two cups. Place the four little biscuits so that they touch and when baked they will stick together. These are a dainty conceit for luncheon or tea.

Salmon Croquettes—Drain a can of salmon and pick it over well; make half a cup of rich white sauce and heat the two together, stirring and beating until the fish is smooth; season with salt and pepper and spread in a mass two inches thick on a plat ter and set aside for two hours. Then cut into pieces and mould in small pyramids; dip each in sifted bread crumbs, then in slightly beaten egg yolk, then in crumbs again, and fry, two at a time, in deep fat in a wire basket. Drain on brown paper in the oven.

Rice in Tomstoes—Cook some rice in boiling salted water until tender and season highly with pepper. Cut a small slice from the top of each ripe tomato, take out the seeds, fill with the seasoned rice, put a bit of butter on each, set in oven and bake until tomato is tender.

Exercises at Stevens Hall

Stevens hall was filled on last Fri- day evening when the prizes for the home gardens, flowers and vegetables, offered to the school children by the Improvement society were awarded. During the evening the High school orchestra rendered several fine selections.

It is very gratifying to the committee to have had the children show so much interest and take such pains as many did with their garden. And it is hoped more will be done another year.

The Women's Auxilliary of St Pauls church will meet next Thurs- day afternoon at the Parish house at 2.30 o'clock. A Christmas barrel will be packed to send South to the colored people.

There was a good attendance last Sunday evening at the union Thanks- giving service in the Congregational church. Rev. Augustus H. Fuller preached a very practical and inspiring sermon.

Over forty of the local Christian Endeavorers attended the C. E. social at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Shaw last Friday evening. Games were played and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all.

Seven of the local Good Templars attended the afternoon and evening session of Merrimack Valley District lodge held in Pemberton hall, Law- rence, last Saturday. There wa« a large attendance, and a very helpful and inspiring session.

At the meeting of Ballardvale lodge, N" 'o=. held last Monda", it was voted to omit the lodge meeting Mon- 1 •.<■ o,.p„i„„ r),,,. - ;n „r(|or t,,n( (|,c

members can attend the no-license rally in the Second Baptist church, Lawrence, on that evening.

Next Thursday evening in the Con- gregational church instead of the regular prayer meeting. Mrs. Stephen Vaitses of Boston will give an address on "Her Work among the Greeks . Mrs. Vaitses is a fine speaker and the Ladies' Aid society is very fortunate to secure her services for this meeting.

The Ballardvale Mills company, with their well known thoughtful- ness and liberality, last Tuesday afternoon presented each family in their employ with a fine turkey for Thanksgiving. Such kindly interest and generosity on the part of the em- ployers cannot but arouse a mutual friendly spirit in the employees. It is certainly to be hoped that this friendly spirit will continue to exist as it means much for the future success and prosperity of the local mills

"A peculiar thing about you is tbat your beard la of remarkable toughness. Tour face, on tbe contrary, la very tender, so tbat you experience great difficulty In shaving. Few razors are made of fine enough steel to overcome tbe texture of your beard."

"True again." said the new boarder, "although I don't know bow you guess- ed It. but my beard la tbe toughest I nave ever encountered."

"Also you are a rough and ready humorist, able to snap out a funny remark In almost any situation tbat can arise."

"Say." said tbe new boarder, "yon make me feel uncanny. How do yon do this stunt of character reading?"

Tbe boarding house Sherlock smiled broadly and speared a "French fried."

"It'a this way," he elucidated. "Sim- ple enough when explained, like all really great detective work. I knew yon were from tbe east by tbe way you worked the aalt shaker. Westerners pick up the salt shaker with the right band and plunge it at tbe food. East- erners seize the shaker with tbe left band. Invert It and tap it briskly on tbe bottom with the right hand."

Tbe boarders gasped In admiration of tbe sleuth's genius.

"I knew you came from a remarkable family because that's tbe kind we all come from. I concluded your relatives were not overburdened wltb wealth or you wouldn't be living In this basbery. I knew your whiskers were remark- ably tougb. for every man living thinks be has tbe toughest whiskers going. The barber tells him so. Somehow or other a man takes it as a hlgb compliment to be told bis whiskers are the toughest the barber ever tackled. Then It helps reconcile the victim to having bis face torn « T.

"Lastly, I knew you were a humorist on tbe same broad and general principle. Every American tblnks he la a second Bill Nye wltb additions and Improvements. The small boy at tbe ball game yells 'Get a basket!' when a ball Is fumbled. When the street car conductor says, 'Plenty of room up In front!' half n dozen wits reply, 'Plenty of room, bnt It's all taken.' When you find a citizen of this great republic who doesn't think he's a, Jolly wag; you've discovered something."

The new boarder was silent In mental cogitation.—Kansas City Star.

We thank you for your Thanksgiving patronage....
