WEDDED A LABORER.
Wealthy Wellesley Girl Elopes With
a Farm Hand.
Boston , Mass. , Fob. 1. Miss Grace
Whittaker , daughter of Mrs. Clifford
Weld and heiress to $1,000,00 has
eloped from her mother's country es
tate at Middleboro , Mass. , with Ken-
rick Harrison Trlbon , a laborer , and
the couple were married upon arrival
in tills city. Tribon is 25 years old
and of good appearance , but has never
had any educational advantages and
has always worked as a farm hand.
Mrs. Trlbon is 20 years old , a graduate
of Wellesley college , handsome , dash
ing and brilliantly accomplished.
The couple had never shown indica
tions of anything ardent in their ac
quaintance , and the elopement oc
curred during the bride's mother's ab
sence in New York and caused a
surprise to the people of Middleboro.
They were aided In eloping by an
other employe , who hitched up a team
upon Miss Whittakor's orders , but
Myles Standish , the head farmer on
the Weld estate , suspecting their ob
ject , telephoned to Mrs. Weld and
also to the police of the neighboring
town. They , however , thwarted this
by leaving their rig with n farmer and
boarding an electric car , traveling in
that way to this city.
The couple nro spending their hon
eymoon at Plymouth , anxiously await
ing tlio parental blessing , which does
not seem probable to come to them.

Four Business Houses De
stroyed This Morning.
THE LOSS IS ESTIMATED AT $0,800
A Saloon , Meat Market and Two Of
fice Buildings Went In Early Blaze
In South Dakota Town Livery Bam
and Hotel Threatened.
Fairfax , S. D. , Fob. 4. Special to
The News : Flro at II o'clock this
morning destroyed four buildings In
the business part of the city and
threatened two others which were
saved by hard work. The loss In es
timated at $0,800 , with insurance of
but $1,200.
The buildings burned :
Mike Slagel , otllco building ; loss
$100 ; liiHiinuico , $200.
S. 13. Atkinson , real estate olllco ;
losn $100 ; no Insurance.
13. Aosta , meat market ; lottn , $2-
500 ; no insurance.
13. Stanuard , saloon ; IOHH , $11,500 ;
Insurance , $1,000.
The 11 ro started on Iho west nldo of
Main street , apparently In Iho Slagol
building , and Its origin IB a mystery.
From the Slagol building It quickly
cominuucatcd with the AlUnson buildIng -
Ing and the million and meat market.
Hotel and Barn Catch.
During the progress of the flro It
caught In the Alford livery barn and
the Merchants hotel , but by the
prompt and vigorous action of the flro
lighters these biiildlngH were saved
and the flames were prevented from
spreading from the four doomed build
ings.
Fortunately there was no wind , or
the loss would undoubtedly have been
much larger. When the blaze was
llrst discovered it had gained good
headway , and it was Impossible to sup
press it for several reasons.
There was no night watch on duty ,
or it is believed that ho could have
extinguished the blaze In Its Inclp-
iency or given nn alarm that would
have aroused the citizens and enabled
them to do some effective work.
Water Mains Burst.
The work of the flromcn was great
ly handicapped by the fact that ono
of the water mains had burst yester
day and had not been repaired In tlmo
for use. It was Impossible to reach
the blaze with n stream of water from
the hose and all efforts toward Its
suppression were necessarily limited
to n bucket service , which was Inef
fectual so far as the four business
houses were concerned.
Very little was saved from tlio
doomed buildings. In the meat mar
ket the fixtures went up In smoke and
some of the stock In the saloon was
destroyed as well as the fixtures , and
the furniture and books and papers in
the otllco buildings were destroyed.

it work on any government contract

contractors. The National Building

PUBLIC SCHOOLS BEST.
President Eliot Says Their Graduates
Do Better In College.
Cambridge , Mann. , Feb. I. During
the pant year President lOllot , of Har
vard , had Homo iitallstlcH gathered ante
to the lolntlvo methodn of the work
and general elllcloncy of the boy who
prepares for college In the public
nchool mid thono who were prepared
In private nchooln.
Tlicno ntiitlHtlcn nhow that Iho pub
lic school boy did better work on the
entrance exainlnatloiin and after ho
had got Into college than the prlvalo
.school hoy.
Last Juno In the Harvard entrance
examliiatlonn the public school boy
both won moio hoiiom than the prl
vale Hdiool boy and fewer public
Hchool boyti fulled In their oxiimlna-
tloiiH than Iho private school boyn.
Again In the other test the public
nchool man came out victorious In
the onllio graduating class at Harvard
last Juno 172 men graduated with lion-
orn ; of this number SI came to college
I mm public high Kchooln , II from
academic ! ) and endowed KchoolH. ; ,2
from private schools and 12 from
oilier colleges. ,
I'rcHldcnt Ullol sayn those factnaro
llmite'il to the jeaf under review , uul
are bused on observation of about 700
porsoiiH. So far as they go , however ,
they lend no countenance whatever to
the allegations that the public ncliooln
turn out a lens vlgoroiiH and conscien
tious eliiHH of young men than the
other schools.
On the contrary , so far an they go ,
they tend to prove that Iho product of
the public Hcbool bus more character
and power of work than the product
of the other schools.
Concerning athletics , the report
sayn :
"Games In which the public In most
Interested foot ball , base ball and
rowing are Kcrvlccablo to a compar
atively Binall number of Htmlonts , uo
one of these three nportn nerving more
than one-sixth of the total number of
students , who reported the exercises
they used. The game which has been
conducted at Cambridge with the least
Intelligence and success Is foot ball ,
except from a pecuniary point of view.
"Hi-caking up of college work for In
dividual students and frequent ab
sences to play games at a distance
from Cambridge are an evil which
ought to bo checked. It Is a greater
evil than formerly now , that the Inter-
eolloglattto gnuiCH take place all the
year round , In winter as well as in
spring and autumn.
