An incident of last MONDAYS town
meeting will be long remembered by
those who were present and is well
worthy of being preserved in print 1t
was scene alike dramatic and affecting
and once again proved that
Pity and need make ali flesh kin
For hours had discussion been in prog
cess as to various appropriations needed
for carrying on the town government,
and ultra-ecOnOmistS were working with
all their power to have things figured
tOwn to their lowest notch. At last was
'eached the article relating to claim
against the town by an old and re-
'pected citizen for damage 10 his land
oy reason of water washing sand from
| hill down upon it. The committee
appointed at previous meeting 10 in
TeStlgate the claim reported than ten
dollars would cover the damage, and
hat sum was just about To be ordered
when the claimant tottered 10 his feet
and leaning with the weight of over
eighty years upon his cane with feeble
broken voice begged permission to
speak. He said he was so deaf that not
one word had he heard of what had been
going on around him for hours, but now
some one had given him to understand
lis claim was under discussion Then
he went on to tell what he had done q
half-century ago to build up the town,
and his eyes flashed with pride and his
ean form Strengthened as he spoke;
how all the best years of his life
nad been spent in Westfield; how
ne had served the town in various
capacities, and now that misfortune and
Did age had come upon him, and he had
out brief time at most to live, he simply
asked his fellow citizens to do him just
zee. He talked for a considerable time,
and with the simplicity of second-child-
hood told his sorrows and his past deeds
over and over again. But the voters
listened patiently, and there were tears in
many eyes while he spoke. Hardly had
the final word dropped from the trem-
bling lips when came quickly motions.

There never was such century as
the nineteenth for looking back kindly
on the past and cOmmemorating events
which can in some way be linked with
The present. Even the gloomy massacre
known as the Sicilian Vespers has had
its turn. and has been dug out of the
congenial obscurity of remote history to
be the occasion of national fete. Pa
ermo was the happy city where the
massacre began, and six hundred
years after the catastrophe or crime
Palermo has been wreathed in flowers
and illumined with fireworks in honor
of the great deed which it performed.
The French adyenturers who were then
ruthlessly destroyed were distinguished
even in the thirteenth century for blood
thirStiness. rapacity and arrogance. and,
according to the standard of the day,
well deserved their fate, and the well.
laid plot of Greek Emperor, a Pope
and n King. was supported by popular
fury. and ended in the temporary es.
tablishment of a separate monarchy OF
Sicily. 1t is IS the first germ of ma
lional independence that the mas
sacre of 5000 Frenchmcn j. now cele-
brated with triumphant JOY and enthusi-
asm. The germ long lay dormant. and
if six hundred years have been suffered
to pass without any celebration Of thi.
remarkable event. this Is. a. Signol
Crispi explained 10 his willing listeners
At Palermo. because on no former occa-
sion has it been possible to couple the
centenary of the massacre with anv-
thing like the visible independence oi
Sicily. As the years went round il
was a sad but iucontestible fact that
Sicily did not seem 10 have come into
the legitimate fruits of her glorious out
rage. At the end of one hundred year.
she was torn with anarchy; ct the end
Of another she was Spanish province.
The luck was always against Sicily, and
it 50 happened that when the centenary
Of the Eespers came round Sicily was
not only under foreign King. but un-
Ter specially bad foreign King. Now
