MOB LAW.
A MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO PUT AUSTIN
UNDER MOB RULE.
The Scheme is About Ripe and the Mayor
Will Call for Protection from the
Militia.

If there is any person living who can
see no use for preserving the militia
forces of the state he will surely have
his eyes opened when he reads of the
part the state militia is about to take
in driving an organized mob from
their stronghold in this city.
At the Office of the adjutant general
yesterday reporter of THE STATES
MAN feared that Harry Owens, one of the
attaches of that department, is actively
engaged raising mob, which on the
21st or 22d instant will take possession
of the city, They will rise up early in
the morning and will fortify them
selves ln the business part of town,
throwing
BARRICADEs ACROSS CONGRESS AVE
somewhere in the vicinity of Fourth
street.
In his extremity the mayor of the
city, who at that time will be no
other than the long lost Richard Roe,
so often quoted in back number arith-
metics, will apply to the military post
for protection, and then, Mr.. Owens,
look out for boot tops.
Fortunately for Austin, the state
militia will be in camp at Hyde Park.
At about o'clock in the morning
they will start for the city, pre-
sumably under command of John Doe
Infantry, cavalry and artillery, they
will come in at the back door of the
CITY,, invest the capitol building
march down Congress avenue, witt
skirmish lines and sharpshooters de
ployed to pick off the stragglers wht
may be lurking in the doorways ant
alleys and on the roofs.
They will
FALL ON THE MOB
ut Just how they are going to do it i
OF yet decided. They will fall OF
hem, however, the guns big and littl
will be called into action, and Austil
will be wakened at 5 o'clock in tn
morning as she never was before.
All these are the plans of the adju
rant general and they are certainl
unique. They reflect credit on his in
genuity and they will result in un
doubted good for the militia and a
the same time be source of no small
interest and instruction to the people
The militia will find it's chief dutie
bring it in contact with just such oc
casions, nine times out of ten whel
called into active service and littl
. experience of this kind may teacl
them a lesson which will bear grea
fruit in the future.

THE THREE NAUGHTY KITTENS

Three little kittens we're invited out to
tea.
And they promised their mother how good
they would be;
So she washed all their faces and put their
fur straight,
Then said, Goodbye, darlings, pray do
not get late;
And mind you behave we'll. do not spill
your tea,
Or crumble your cake, that's sad thing
TO see;
Say Thank you and Please and be sure
on your way
You don't soil your paws or loter to play"
So the three little kittens all started away,
With faces so clean. and hearts light and
gay;
But they did not remember. am sorry to
say,
That their mother had said, ." Do not play
by the way"
They began to run races, and thought 1t
was fun
To frolic about on the grass in the sun.
Till the time slipped away, and they
plainly could sec
1t was really to late to be going out to
tea;
So with sorrowful faces and tails droop-
ing low,
Slowly back to their homes did the three
kittens go;
And that day they had no mic tea, but
instead
They were all soundly whipped and sent
of to bed

COURT AT NEWPORT.
important Cases to Come Before
The Newport Tribunal,

The Newport term Of the Court of Com
mon Pleas sits at Newport on Monday
next with a very small docket notwith-
standing the fact that the petty appealed
cases are numerous, as usual.
The new docket presents number of
sued claims for debt Among these are
Hiram Murry VS.. Eugene Sturtevant,
book account, $500; Daniel Lee of Fall
VS.. Greenwood Robertshaw of Tiverton,
book account, $20907; Il. III Hogan VS. NJ.
h. Fitzgerald, book account, rent and pro-
tested promiSsary note, $3.50. so; Henry r.
Thayer of Boston VS. Frank Chesbro of
Tiyerton and Mary X Rowland VS.. Ed
ward Il. Short Of Tiverton. The latter is
the late Old Colony station agent and the
lain is one for the amount of a promis-
sary note.
Newporters will be greatly interested in
the trial of two cases, wherein George
Babcock Hazard is defendent. Each is a
claim for $500 damages, one being brought
by the heirs of Daniel Il. Swinburne and
the other by James w. Williams, ten
ant at the Coe estate on Thames street.
The declaration in the case of the Swim
burne heirs is To the effect that George b.
Hazard, Sept. l, last, trespassed upon the
Coe estate, tramping down growing grass
and committing other enormities. In the
case where James w. Williams is plaintiff
il is charged that Hazard on Sept. en-
tered the premises Of which Williams
was tenant and chopped in two clothes
line and that he also made great dis
turbance, frightening Williams wife
Mr. &. "A. Ives is plaintiffs attorney in
each case.
Another case which promises to be of
unusual interest is entitled Gideon T..
Rose VS. Sebra A. Mitchell. Both are
Block Island people and that usually
tranquil isle of the sea was the scene of
the alleged indiscretion. The plaintiff
sues for 5000 claiming that the defendant
alienated the affections of his wife, there
by dissipating the peace and comfort OF his
home. There is one other case wherein
Emmanuel Wagner claims damages from
Frank Fish on the charge that Fish beat
and injured his wife.

and Miss Thayer was put in charge tenn
porarily, She had received a great deal OF
information while acting as assistant to
the train dispatcher, and was able TO ful-
fiji his duties
The officials Of the road looked high and
low for man who they thought had the
necessary qualifications. The search was
in vain. Meanwhile the road was running
along as usual. Finally they got tired
looking for the man whom they could not
find, and Miss Thayer was made the
official train dispatcher. That was two
years ago.
For the first seven months she held the
place without assistance of any kind and
was on duty daily from A. NJ. until Il.
NJ. She has a man assistant now, how
ever, and that makes her work much
lighter, but it does not relieve her OF re-
sponsibility.
During the two years OF Miss Thayer's
service there has not been single accident
for which she was in any way TO blame.
A runaway engine raised havoc on the
road several weeks ago, but Miss Thayer
could not help that.

ABOUT NEW SHOES.
The Latest Fash lonabIe wrinkles in Boots


Never were boots so natty and iaunty,
so carefully fitted and so scrupulous in
the matter of buttons and laces. And
whyf Because, indeed the sweeping
breadths OF the long street gown must he
lifted at every crossing, revealing the
manner and the matter of the foot-cover-
ings. Because of the exactness of fashion
in these particulars an especial interest
attaches TO Che autumn walking shoes
which are being displayed at the Boston
Shoe Store in such numbers and variety.
Delicate of shape, flexible and comfort
able, they are very satisfactory TO women
who like to be shod daintily. In Dongola
kid and with double soles, they find their
rivals only in the other lines the same
store sets beside them.
The San Souci comfort shoe is one IL is
we'll worth examining. With common
sense heel, delightfully."- flexible soles and
careful arrangement of seams, il does not
call for that heart-breaking operation
known as breaking in." The Piccadilly
shoes are interesting also, and indeed in
every grade known TO the market, with or
without the common sense heel, and with
or without the opera" toe, mt 1913 West
minister street, il is next TO impossible TO
go wrong. There are very pretty shoes
with patent leather tips and trimmings.
The Little Rhody school shoes for chill
dren offered by this house are famous.
Said woman the other day whose chill
dren wear them, Il never bought any
other sort that were outgrown before they
could be outworn. The Little Rhodes
won't wear out. kick as hard as the
youngsters may"
For mems wear the Piccadilly and Pic
cadilly Bluchers are deservedly popular
styles. The "rainy weather shoe" is as
sensible thing as ever was devised. II
is after London model, and is entirely
waterproof, with rubber between lining
and vamp and between the soles. IL thus
dispenses with rubbers and overshoes and
is far more convenient and agreeable.
For evening wear there are many things
of interest, but these you must go to look
at with your own eyes.

fng here since 1892, and there has not an
accident occurred on her divisions during
her term of duty. For awhile previous
TO 'S2 Miss Spencer assisted in the posi-
tion of dispatcher, but when, on losing
the chief, Supt. Palmer began looking
about for new telegrapher for the posi-
tion, he could find no one approaching
his lady assistant in efficiency, so
she was installed as chief dispatcher. 1t is
said In railroad circles that during the
Rhode Island Fair each Autumn, when
trains are run from Providence to the
fair grounds at Cranston every fifteen
minutes, there Is not similar piece of
train service in the country. Yet Miss
Spencer has been at the head of this great
passenger traffic, and has never had de-
lay, accident, or held the regular train
service delayed or incommoded.
The Train Dispatchers' Association has
1,100 members. Miss Spencer has been
long importuned to join it, but being ex-
tremely modest and free from self asser-
tion has refused her name until at the
wish of friends she joined the association
in December, 1889, and is now the only
lady member. She has been most cordially
received and urgently invited TO attend
the annual meetings OF the order.
A railroad official with the New York
and New England road, but now in SINH
lar place on a Southern road, tells the
writer, he is often enquired of regarding
the truth OF the fact that young lady
acts as dispatcher for an important line
