It Is the present custom of the board to have one of Its members visit the scene of any accident, learn the facts and report them, after which the board decides whether a public hearing Is necessary or desirable. Mr. Barber found the facts re garding Caufield's death as reported at the time it occurred, but expressed no opinion as to whether a public hearing would bo ordered. The Linden street home of Mr. and Mrs A. W. Chllds was summarily Invaded Monday evening by a company of about 75, who had gathered at Major Chllds's. Mrs. Chllds was alone when they appeared, but her husband was soon summoned from his office to share the surprise, which was In recognition of their tenth wedding an niversary.

Wilhelm Ilelnrich of Boston was tho tenor soloist at the concert, and Miss Harriett A. Shaw of Boston appeared as harpist. Of Mr. Howe's performance the Nashua Telegraph says: "Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the work of Mr. Howe. A finer performer on an organ has never visited this city, ills pedal play ing was especially fine and was a revelation to the audience, lie was recalled repeated ly and deserved the warm pralso he re ceived." A notable and delightful feature of tho meeting of the Daughters of tho American Revolution recently held with Mrs. Has klns was the presence of two bright and well-preserved old ladies, both daughters of Revolutionary soldiers ana one at least tne daughter of a minute man, who was In tho fight on Lexington common. Mrs, Laura Roberts of Putnoy, aged 83, and Mrs. Nich ols of Brattleboro, 83, who lives with her daughter, Mrs. A. Q. Allen on tho Vernon road. It Is a curious fact that the father of each of these two women was named Ruf us Moore, though they were not related, The fatherbf Mrs.. Roberts settled on Put ney West hill and the father of Mrs. Nlch ols on Duminerston Hill, They married sisters and tho two women are therefore cousins. Both related many reminiscences, and Mrs, Roberts recalled with great vivac ity a long chapter of Incidents and events of Revolutionary days which she had heard told by her father. The significance of the presence of these two "daughters" becomes apparent when It Is known that the officers of the national chapter estimate that not more than 100 children of men who fought In the Revolution are now living, church Friday evening on mission work In that kingdom.

Tresdell of Greenfield, J, Henry Pratt, not know whether or not It Is practicable just now to arrange the work, but If it Is wo think It would be well for the school commltteo to relieve Principal Horno of the High school of enough of his work to admit of appointing him supervisor of the evening schools. It is no disparagement to anybody else to say that there is probably nobody In Lawrence who knows so well what tho evening schools should be as Mr, Horno. Ho organized the Lowell evening schools some years ago and put them in ex cellent condition. His work at the head of tho public school system of the city puts him In touch with the work of all the schools, and It would ho much better to designate an experienced and eminently successful evening school manager like him than to create an office for somO new man and run the risk of getting somebody of no particular litness for tno place. Besides, these schools aro only runa fow months In the year and three evenings a week, and It would hardly be worth while to make a separate appointment for tho placo. Mr, Homo's success In evening school work points him out as the best man In town for the place." George Phillips of Putney and C. E. Tyler of Willlauisvllle. A. B.

Thoy would have been arrested, but it was found that thoy lied from the state Tuesday. It Is quite prob ablo that they will yet be arrested. Albert J. Lapolnt rented a Warwick bi cycle of II. M.

THE MASS MEETING An Effective Little Story of a scene Just After the tirent Fire of '71. tFrom the Chicago Tribune. I was a street gamln back In 1871," said a well-known politician recently, "but my recollccUons of tho great tire are as vivid as though It occurred but yesterday. It doesn't seem possible that there aro any incidents that have not ucen 10m aiicr years, but ono that made the deepest Im pression on mo I havo never seen In print. "It was connccteu inuirecuy wnu mc Jim' Flsk relief train, which was tho first to arrlvo from tho East. You remember tho arrival of that train at least, you would If you wero In Chicago. At an events, the wholo world remembers now this man of tho good and evil passions or dered tho loading of a big train with pro visions and clothing wuuo tno cuy sun was burning, and when It was ready ho commanded that tho tracks bo cleared to Chicago. Ho sent for tho best engines cn theErle, and said: 'Jim, what is the best time to Buffalo?' 'Seventeen hours,' replied Jim. "'Make It In 14,' said Fisk. "The relief train, covered with bunting, was welcomed by 50,000 people with shouts that split tho welkin up the back. From that moment the name of Jim Flsk be came sacred to the old residents of Chica go, and If ho had been killed here his slay er would never have lived to run a hotel In this city. "Hut that liasjiounnc to ao wmi tue in cident. The ruins of the post-office wero converted Into an Immense theatre soon after the fire and the attractions ran the gamut from high-class tragedy to low-down variety. The latter annealed strongly to me. There was a big variety bill on the night I speak of and the house was pack ed from the front row of the orchestra to the rafters. There was an allegorical tab leau of the fire, with some 'before and aft er taking' pictures thrown In that worked the audience up pretty well, men a tougn variety ballad slneer walked oh the stage, He was what his fellow professionals call a 'jay,' a 'mug,' and 'the worst I ever saw.' But he made a hit that Pattl never dreamed of. His song was a lot of dog gerel about Jim Flsk and how he came to the relief of Chicago. Tho only words that I remember was the chorus. This was sung in a harsh, grating voice, with a musical range of about three notes: "'Jimmy Flsk was a man Willi bis heart In his hand. No matter what people might say. He dune ail his deeds, llolh the good an l th" lad, In the broad, open light of the day.' The people cheered the first time It was sung. The second time tney joined in softlv. The third time they roared It, and then the storm broke. Men stood on tneir seats and cheered till the rafters groaned. Hats were thrown in the air by the hun dreds. Overstrung nerves gave way; men fell Into each other's arms and wept like hysterical women. As the tumult began to die down some ono would start the ab surd chorus again, and the uproar would burst forth with redoubled fury. It lasted for nearly an hour, and there was no more show that night." A 3100 FINE FOIl SELLING BEER. Of tho Youiif? People's Christian Union, MABY HOWE'S BUCCE8S. lUnkttl With Srmbrlch anil Center b- litrmin Critics. The European despatches to the New York Sunday papers repeat the story of Mary Howe s remarkably succeisful debut at the Royal Opera house In Berlin which was indicated In the Musical Courier s ca blegram published in theso columns last week. The German critics are very en tnusiastlc In her praise, ranking her with Sembrlch and Gerster. The Musical Cou rier says this week that it has always ranked Mary Howe as ono of the first youngkhlgh sopranos on the stage of to day, and continues: "Her voice Is a pure, strong, vibrant one, with delicate and refined texture, advanced to a high state, of technical perfection by Incessant study and practice under the gum ance of a solid Yankee brain and intelligence. Mary Howe's volco of today Is the result of her own method, which Is everyone's method who has a comprehension of the question, and sbo is not under obligation to any special instructor. "Somehow or other wo Americans are distrustful of our unindorsed judgment, and we therefore do not encourage musical artists before they receive European plaud its, and hence Mary Howe had to leave her native land to go to Europe, so that Europe could Inform us of something we long since knew anyhow. But it Is tho same old story. Mary Howe is merely an add! tlonal evidence of its truth." WITH THE HUNTERS. Mr. Blakeley and Charles B. Streeter Wednesday after spending two weeks at Spofford lake. Dr. G. F. Barber, C. W. Dunham and C. A. Harris left Wednesday for Andover, Maine, and from there they will go Into the woods lor a two weeks' bunting trip, with tho expectation of securing deer, moose and caribou. W. II.

In the afternoon the breweries had been notified not to sell him drink and he then obtained five glasses of beer at the saloon of Patrick Manning in, tne w nets tone block. Deputy Sheriff Starkey visited Man nlng's saloon, where he found seven cases of beer. One bottle was taken from each case for analysis. The hearing was con tinued to Tuesday to await the result of the analysis by Chemist Chapin.

Mass, who camo last week with his family to spend a month at the Western avenue homestead, returned on the 10th Inst, from a hunting trip in tho Rockies, during which his trophies were four elk, a black-tailed buck, a black bear, and a big-horn ram The friend wno accompanied him. E. B uoimes ot Jioston, made about the same record. On tho Saturday evening follow ing their return the two gentlemen enter tained at the University club a company of 1a menus witu a sumptuous game dinner, The hunting camp of Mr. Slack and his friend was located at an elevation of 8500 feet on the line between Idaho and Wyom ing. The big-horn ram was shot much higher up In the mountains, at an elevation of 11,030 feet. One of his elk Mr. Slack shot at Jackson's Hole, on or near the scene of the late trouble with the Bannock Indians. Irom accounts gathered on tho spot from those familiar with all tho cir cumstances It appears that the arrest of Indians for 'hunting out of season was made In good faith to bring the question of their right to do this to a test. After the Indians had been arrested and disarmed they foolishly made a break to escape and then the officers shot two of them down In cold blood. For this action Mr. Slack thinks there was no excuse, and out of this greiv ine story or an "uprising." Tho In dlans aro vengeful over the occurrence and openly threaten that they will "get away with" tho two white officials who did the shooting. The Jackson's Hole country runs clear up to the Yellowstone park. It Is rich In game which now has no sort of adequate protection and is sure to be exter minated in the end, unless something Is done about it. Mr. Slack savs the remedy which Is apparent to anyone familiar with the ground Is to havo this valley made a part of tho national park reservation. It Is from five to 20 miles wldo and about 75 miles long. It Is very fertllo and Is sur rounded by high mountains, and It Is only by having access to the feed in this valley that the big game on theso mountains Is kept from starvation during the heavy snows anu severe weatuer of winter. Held with the nrnttlelioro Union In (,, Universalis! Church Weitueailny ii, Thursday Addresses and IHictiMloiia give n Helpful Uplift. Tho semi-annual mass meeting of tlm Young People's Christian union of Ver mont and tho Province of Quebec has been held here this week. Tho delegates, who arrived Wednesday afternoon wero enter- tallied at the church by the local union, a social hour following the supper. The convention opened with a service of song. After prayer by Dr. bhinn, Mis. II. M. Wood, president of tho local union, gave tho addross of welcome In the behalf of the union, the church, the homes and the town. Alfred F. Booth, president f the state union, made a fitting response, after which ho Introduced Rev. Walter Dole of Enfield, N. II., as the first speaker of the evening. Mr. Dole is an cx-president of the Vermont union. His subject was, "Are we eriual to the occasion?" or as ho preferred to put it "Are we equal to our opportunity?" the "we." as he said, meaning tho Unlversallst church and the Young People's Christian union. Tho opportunity that is offered the church and the union Is expressed by the apostle Paul In tho words "That In the dispensation of tho fulness of time he might gather together In one all things In Christ." This is the mission of tho church and the union, to unite all In Christ. For 1800 years, the speaker said, the churches have been trying to save humanity and have failed largely because salvation has been Interpreted by them as something to be at tained by arbitrary means. Salvation is not a matter of place heaven and hell It is a matter of character. Is the church equal to this opportunity for building and making character? If the Unlversallst church is to be God's church, the church universal, it must do this work better than all the other churches. God has created the universe, has created man and has en dowed him with all moral and Intellectual posslblltles, has given him the Christ type. This Is God's part. AU that man has to do Is to enter In and take possession of the inheritance. God gives man freedom of will, he may accept or reject this Inheri tance. If he refuses he will become re possessed by his animal nature which Is the environment of the spiritual nature. This then is the union's opportunity to build up character, to become the men and women God wants us to be, to enlist in his work, and to know his purpose concerning us. After a solo by Mr. Stearns, the presi dent introduced the Rev. G. II. Shinn, the general missionary of the Unlversallst con ference and the national organizer of the Young People's Christian union. Dr. Shlnn in his enthusiastic way told of the specific work of the union to develop the religious life of the young people. After speaking of the work of the local unions he told of the national work in organizing unions, especially in the South and West. iUter speaking of the different denomina tional enterprises, he related incidents con nected with the state meetings in the South. Closing Exercises Thursdsy Evening. The morning session on Thursday opened with a song and prayer service, after which representatives of 13 unions reported on the work of their unions. Mrs. Flora F. Miller of Hartland read a paper on "Our aims, our helps." This was followed by an admirable paper on "Personal Influ ence," by Miss Florence Lamson of this place. Rev. Mr. Maxwell gave the closing address on "Rational thought and spiritual worsntp," after wntcit tnere was a com munion service conducted by Rev. E. E. Marggraf of Bellows Falls. A devotional meeting, the topic of which was "Reverence," opened the afternoon session. "How can we aid the juniois?" was the title of an interesting paper by Mrs. II. O. Maxham of Ludlow. The re mainder of the session was taken up with an open parliament on matters pertaining to the work of the union, the remarks of itev. alter Dole and Dr. Gunnison being especially helpful. A model devotional meeting was con ducted by the Brattleboro union. The leader was Miss L. Myrtelle Eason and the subject "Charity." The Junior union was present and assisted. in the music. After a duet by Messrs. Brasor and Stearns the address of tho evening was given by Rev. Almon Gunnison, D. D., of Worces ter, Mass. Dr. Gunnison Introduced his remarks on the work of young people's unions by referring to the pleasure he felt in again visiting Vermont. He then re ferred to the young people's movement as the most significant movement of recent years. The churches were losing their power when this movement began and it Is doing much to revivify the churches. The young people s movement was not the re sult of the genius of any one church; it was Drougui about by tho genius of youth. Tho older we get the more calculating and cautious we are. The forlorn hopes are led by young people. Young men have been the leaders of the moral and religious movements of all times. This movement by young people In the Interest of young people has affected for good, not only the ine 01 ine cuurcu, but the young people themselves In developing and training them for service. Never in the history of the world has tho Christian church been so influential as todav. The nast is clorious. but the present has a prqphecy of greater coou in tne luture. me outlook tor tne the Unlversallst church, the speaker said, was never so grand and beautiful as to day. He recalled the hardships of the fathers who founded the church nearly 100 years ago and declared his profound rever ence for tho men who took the advance step that led to the founding of the denomy nation, lie said tue creat body of Chris tian believers are Ditching their tents where tho campfires of Unlversallsm havo been burning for nearly 100 years. Tho greai ana growing liberality of tne evan gelical churches has In It reason for thank fulness. In a congratulatory way he re ferred to tho fact that while many of his orthodox brethren were coming to the light ho was free born. He was proud of the outlook before tho vounir neonle of tho church and assured them of the deep In terest ot tne older people and urged them to lay well the foundations of all their enterprises.
