PAWTUCKET'S MAYOR.
The Supreme Court to Settle the
knotty Question.
HEADED BY THE BENCH.
The State Claims That the Election of Hugh
j. Carroll was Void and That He Is Not
Mayor--The Defence Claims That the
Election was Valid.

Is Hugh J. Carroll mayor Of Pawtucket
Was the. election on Dec. 3, which gave
him majority of votes, valid or invalid
These are the questions which the full
bench Of the Supreme Court was to-day
asked TO settle. IL may be several weeks
before the court hands down It's decision.
IL was on the defendants demurrer that
the hearing was given to-day. The state
was represented by James Ripley and Van
Slyck & Van Slyck, and the defence by
Arthur l.. Brown, John NJ. Brennan and
Claude Farnsworth. Mr. Carroll was an
interested listener TO all that was said for
and against him, but took no part in the
proceedings.
The defence demurred for the following
reasons: Because it appears from the
facts set forth that said election was
valid election, conducted according to
law. Because it does not appear in said
complaint that there was not full and
fair election. Because even if there were
Irregularities in the notice they do not
vitiate the election in the absence of fraud
or. OF any claim that electors were de-
prived of their votes by said Irregularities
The defence argued that the election on
Dec D was ordered by the Board of Alder
men Immediately after the votes of the
previous election had been counted and il
dates had received a majority; that the
election was not n new election, but a
continuation of the election held on
Dec ,; that when the cnarter of the city
of Pawtucket was drafted, that trainers
had the charters of the cities of Provi-
dence and Newport to guide them
and that, while the charter is al
most identical with those of the two older
cities, IL differs from them in that it
gives the Board of Aldermen discretionary
power 10 call second election at any time
it may chooses while the charter of Provi-
dence says that there must be at least
seven days between the two elections.
This difference in the two charters was
made Intentionally, che defeace claimed
by the men who drafted it and they in-
tended To give the board of aldermen the
authority To call an election without hav-
ing their hands tied and that is just what
the aldermen had done: the election was
valid and Hugh j. Carroll is mayor of
pawtucket.
The States claim is that according To
the charter of Pawtucket there must he at
least seven days notice of an election
that this notice had not been given that
consequently the election was void and
Hugh j. Carroll is occupying an office to
which he has no right.
The case was held for advisement.

OUTDOOR LIFE.
What It Has Done and Ia Doing For the
Bred Children.

What IL Has Done and IN Doing For the
city Bred Children.
At first IL was the boys who exhibited
the good effects of the social revolution.
Time was, and not very long ago, when
the sturdy boys of the metropolis were
found in the greatest numbers in the
public schools and the districts inhabit-
ed by persons in middling circumstances.
The boys in the well-to-do families were
apt to be spare, narrow-chested, and Of
such appearance that the more rugged
city children called them by contemptu-
GUS nicknames, all implying that they
were girlish. Such puny lads are not
now anything like being numerous
enough to represent class. The once
derided mothers apron-strings" have
been woven into tennis nets, and the
hands of the "girl-boys" now grip base
ball and cricket bats. Three months
of country life with "city improve
ments," and nine months of cycling,
boxing, sprinting and gymnastics, have
given them muscle and lungs, until the
juvenile crowd in town accept II as an
axiom that well-dressed lad is worth
avoiding when persecution or mischief
is intended.
The girls, too, are obviously better
sort; not better than their mothers
were, necessarily, for New York is for
ever freshened and strengthened by
eountry-bred men, who draw in coun-
try-bred women for their wives But
the born city girls are distinctly finer
women than born city girls used to be.
The very boyish boys, of the ages when
boys are apt to be an all-sufficient sex
unto themselves, no longer avoid the
girls, who now haye their parts and
places in the sports and games of the
courts and fields. Baseball and cricket
are of the masculine gender still, but
golf and tennis, boating, riding and
driving, are all the enjoyment of both
sexes. The girls have borrowed part
of the boyish equipment in these days.
They have muscles. They wear loose
and easy clothing, and they swing along
with an athletic animal movement that
would have been called very ungenteel
in their mothers If their mothers could
have initiated it Men of country birth
see that their town bred wives are re-
produced in their townbred daughters
and city men by the seaside note that
their little girls are as ruddy and brown
and vigorous and physically capable as
the country children of the neighbor-
hood. Thus much of the children; they
have had the longest holidaying. Harp

Tho Delaware Indian as an Artist.


Much might be said OF the skill Of the
Delaware Indian in all of the many
phases of his industry, but propose
only to speak Of him as an artist A
love of bright colors was always, and is,
o prominent characteristic, and proba-
bly, the first attempt at personal adorn-
ment was the attachment to the person
of feathers and small stones of bright
hues Mica and quartz crystals are
common In graves The glitter and
glistening of these would be sure to at
tract But what of the next step, that
of shaping from formless masses OBJ
jects that strike the fancy OF the wesrerP
TO shape pebble that 1t might better
meet the needs of club-head or
hatchet called for little skill, and the
labor of making IN ak has recently
been shown to be but slight; but the
idea Of symmetry was developed and
cultivated until o weapon was finally
produced that cannot be improved upon.
The same is true of chipping from flint
points for arrow-shafts- A mere splin-
ter of stone, If sharp and narrow,
would be as effective as any shape that
could be devised; but such chance splin-
ters do not appear to have been used,
except directly after the invention Of
the bow and arrow; and, so far as is
now discoverable, q series OF artistically
designed patterns have been in use for
hundreds of years-Popular Science

comparatively small glaciers can, un-
der certain circumstances, hold back
water so as to form latps like the Mar
jelen see behind the Eggischhorn, or
the Mattmarle see in the Saas valley.
What bodies of waters may have been
held back by the huge ice sheets of the
great glacial porto what inconceiv-
ably stupendous events would the burst
ing of their bounds be! Yet this is not
altogether wild speculation. Already
much evidence has been brought uogeth-
err which tell of the former existence of
such masses of water, of great ice bar

square miles of water, and of another
lake of the sane kind, further north in
the he'd River region, 100, 600 square
miles in area, 100 to 300 miles wide and
200 miles long. And the same evidence
goes TO show that these g gantic reser-

a Tioga Girl.s Queer Present.

There is something grewsome to most
people about mummy, but when a
mummy's foot is given to young lady
rs philopena present it seems like a
sacrilege upon sentiment Neverthe-
less, Tioga girl, who has just re-
turned from abroad, displays with
ghoulish glee not only the foot, but the
hand us well, of mummy fresh from
the banks of the Nile-that is, as fresh
as mummy can well be. Both these
ghastly trophies were presented to her
by a young man who was unsuccessful
in eating the philopena Being an
original young man, he began casting
his eye about for an original forfeit.
When the party arrived at the tombs Of
the king everybody was talking num-

early, and chanced upon some natives
at work upon an excavation. A few
piastres did the work, and when he re-
turned he carried mysterious parcel,
which he gravely presented as his phil
opena. Few young ladies' boudoirs
boast of such remarkable ornaments. -
