the lowest kind. The man demanded the
name Of the woman who had dared to in

The princess informed him who she was,
and the man was dumbfounded when he
learned that he had been abusing one 80

A THRIVING VILLAGE.
Moosup, Conn.,, Shows the Benefits
of a Wise Economic Policy,

There are few manufacturing villages
in the land of steady habits which are
growing with such even and rapid pace
as Moosup, the first place of any consid-
erable size beyond the Rhode Island line,
and as the growth is due wholly to the
activity Of the big stone mills that domi-
monument TO the value OF protective
policy, which has set their wheels in mo-
tion.
Moosup is approached by rail along the
bed of the placid river, the roadbed fol-
lowing the windings OF beautiful valley
now brown with draught but needing
beautiful The station is not
particularly inviting, but following
up the main street when the late after
noon sun is slanting to the West, one
enters almost at once as pleasant New
England village as soul OF man could de-
sire. The street rises gradually past neat
and we'll kept residences until at the sum-
NIT near the church it runs high above
the stream where at dusk the still water
mirrors the wooded knoll on the other
side and the frogs trill merrily. Then as
ii anxious again to get nearer the river
which is half the beauty Of the place as
well as its sole reason for existence, the
street drops again to the knot of stores
and residences which cluster about the
Miner Bros Mills, the chief industrial
stay of the place.
There is talk in Moosup of doubling the
capacity OF the Union mills Even with
out this proposed addi ion to the indus
tries OF the village there is a great search
ty Of available tenements. The growing
village. passing its old limits, has estab-
lished bold outpost OF two or three
houses on the wooded height across the
river from the main street.
Moosup is quiet and orderly commun-
ity.which is so thoroughlyRepub that
IL wonders how Providence can have the
bad taste to hang on the fence in its spring

Agrees to the Metropole Clubs Offer.

There was a cannonading at Adelaide
Park yesterday which Mr.. Montell who
pitched for the Fall Rivers will not soon
forget. The men who faced him were the
Providence Grays, and the way they
sized up his delivery and pounded the
pall was enough to discourage any pitcher
OF weak heart. 1t was good opportunity
for the Grays to practice batting. and
they took advantage of it. The only man
who did not get hit was Evans, while
Petit distinguished himself by hitting 1t
safe five times and making four runs.
That the Fall Rivers were in too fast
company was apparent afeter the first in
nings and became more and more so as
the game progressed. In addition to the
heavy slugging OF the Grays, the Fall
Rivers fielied wretchedly aud before the
game was finished 1t was veritable
comedy of errors.
1t was game arranged especially for
the Odd Fellows and they supported It
handsomely. Fully 1900 people were
there to see the waikover. Through the
failure of the Fall Rivers manager to
reply to Manager Burnham's telegram it
was feared that the men from the Spin
die City would not put in an appearance
ana as late as yesterday noon Manager
Burnham sent word to the Brown
boys to make up team and help him
out. The college men responded, but
when they arrived at the grounds they
found the Fall River team there ahead Of
them. Under the circumstances Man
ager Burnham was bound to play the
Fall River team, although the sentiment
of the crowd was strongly In favor OF the
Brown men as opponents OF the Grays.
Evans, who pitched on Monday, was
put in the box to start the game, and
after three innings Woodcock and Tenny,
the Brown battery, was substituted and
completed the game. The score;
