WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
The Bake for the Benefit of the Mis-
sion Of the Trans6guratiou.
IT WAS HELD AT THE GLEN.
The Grounds Of Ex-Msyor Hayward Put
at the Disposal Of tho Mission and
day.

One OF the prettiest places on the Maria
gansett Bay is the estate Of Ex-Mayor
Hayward which is we'll known by the
name "The Glen" It is situated In Edge
wood, about quarter of mile back from
Broad street, and runs down to the Bay.
1t has been owned by Mr.. Hayward for
about thirty years. and, while nature has
done much for the place, the ex-mayor
has done much to adorn and beautify the
grounds.
The residents of Edwgwood are very
patriotic and all are ever willing to assist
in anything which will improve PRovI-
DENCE's pretty suburb and do the public
good. So when q committee looked
around for place to hold clam-bake
for the benefit of the Mission of the
fransfgu ration of Edgewood, Mr.. and
them the use Of "The Glen.n Yesterday
afternoon, from to 9, the bake was held.
Although the day was warm yet the
breeze from the bay made It cool and the
salt air proved very good stimulsut for
the appetite. A goodly number OF per-
sons attended the bake which was made
by Abner Hart Of Pawtuxet.
The committee In charge consisted of
Charles ID. Burrows. acting rector Of the
Mission; William III. Hall, Mrs. K. b.
Kelley, Mrs. George A. Peckham, Mrs.
George j. Arnold, Mrs. Charles e. New
hall and Mrs. T. w. ID. Merriweather.
At the fancy goods table were Mrs. Will
liam ii. Hall aud Mrs. K. b. Kelley.
Miss Marion Nerriweather and Miss
Maud Exley had charge of the candy
table.
Mrs. Charles c. Newhall and Miss Flora
Whipple dispensed Americas greatest
beverage, lemonade.
In the cafe were Mrs. Laura Wheeler
and Mrs. j. w. ID. Merriweather.
The committee worked hard to make
the affair a success, and 1t was one. To
them should be given much credit, and to
Mr. and Mrs Hayward, also, who Coop
Grated with the committee and assisted
In every possible way to help make IL
pleasant for the friends of the Mission.
At the lawn party held on the grounds Of
the Hon. William II. Hall some time ago
the Mission netted tl65, aud It IL expect
ed that a considerable amount will be
realized from the affair Of yesterday.

THE HASweLL MURDERERs.
Many People Think That They Are
Hiding About This City.

The murderers OF Anthony ,. Hasweil
are still among the missing. and tho ef-
forts of the police have thus far failed in
bringing them to Justice. Public opin-
ion has changed, however, in the theory
as to who are the probable slayers Of the
old man, and the suspects, Sullivan aud
Dalton, are considered by some TO be in
nocent of the deed.
The mass Of circumstantial evidence
against these two is great. however, and
closely after the date Of The murder has
caused the finger OF suspicion TO be point
ed at them. The majority OF the people
are of the opinion that the two men sus-
pected OF the horrible crime are In hiding
in this city and are being shielded by
friends. Dalton Is wanted In Fall River
by the police.
Soon after o'clock yesterday afternoon
strange man wearing pair OF steel
gray pants and dark coat and vest, and
possessing a Inoustache OF the much
talked about droop and color made his
way into the yard Of Alfred II. Wtilard's
residence 701 Eddy street. The man was
In an advanced stage Of intoxication and
lay down on the grass to sleep. Mr.. Will
lard went out and attempted to awaken
him and after vigorous effort succeeded
in arrousing him TO consciousness.
AS he awoke he leaped to his feet and
drawing big navy revolver from his hip
pocket, proclaimed himself a. the man
wanted for an East Side job. His remarks
were wild and incoherent but from his
rambling statement it was ascertained
that he imagined himself to be one Of the
murderers OF Haswell. Eventually he
was prevailed upon TO move along aud the
affair was reported to the police.
On the street to-day IL was rumored
that Sullivan was seen last night At
Pleasant Bluff, where he was staying
with party OF fishermen. But little
stock Is taken In this rumor, as the fact
of two murderers being at large would
answer for any popularity in persons
eyesight, and so many OF these false clues
have been sprung upon the detectives as
to cause them to look with suspicion on
all rumors.

NEWS OF OLNEYvILLE.

The Johnston Town Council met yester-
day afternoon in regular session at the
council chamber Very little business
was transacted. yet three hours OF good
warm afternoon were consumed and
sweltered In ere that august body called
the turn.
That Troublesome business concerning
the Highway Commissionership was
brought out from the dust OF the past
two weeks where it has peacefully laid
shelf TO accumulate more mist.
Mr.. Walsh's administration of the road
affairs. and his itemized list Of money ex-
pended was enough to satisfy the most
exacting, yet there was the same old story
of cross -questioning the highway COM
handle on n pump.
Councilman Marks suggested that Mr.
Walch be more particular in itemizing
an itemized bill, by summarizing with q
greater degree OF nicely the different
places, hours and days he had men occu-
pied. in order that every cent OF the high
way funds might be accounted for.
President Calwell then took hand.
A vigorous volley of hot shot was con-
tinually fired into Mr.. Walch's
what they wanted done he would do 1t,
but they could not tell the hour, only
that he was to bring territory, but this
trip he was os staid as rock and Informed
the assembly that il he was instructed as
to another report next evening. Council
man Sheldon, who had sat like a marble
statue, now fercely moved that they pro-
ceed to business.
This was a terrible blow to the presi-
dent and above councilmen. and for a
moment q roar of laughter went up into
the sultry. sulphurious atmosphere. II
was dreadful "call down" TO them, and
a blank stare followed. 1t nearly took
what little air there was in the room at
the time away. and the bad breathing OF
these members was perceptible. They
proceeded to business, however, and the
meeting was soon adjourned.
Another Gas Stove Explosion.
Late Yesterday afternoon, another gas
stove explosion occurred in Johnston, set
ting fire to a house owned by George
Bates, situated at the corner of Nye and
Pioneer streets. 1t was occupied by Mich.
ael Morris aud q German family named
Yetna. The accident happened
in the Morris apartments, and
was due to the stoves becoming over
heated through lack Of keeping it prop
erly filled with oil. The Morris woman
narrowly escaped being burned to death.
her head, neck and arms being terribly
roasted. DIR. Andrew Watt was called Ia
and stated last night that her injuries
were not fatal.
An alarm was immediately sounded
a fierce battle. succeeded In gaining con-
troll OF the flames. About 1900 worth OF
damage was done; partly insured. A
spark from the fire set fire to the roof Of
bernard McGovern's house close by and
burned q hole In the roof 1t was ex-
tinguished by detachment OF the COM
pany.

An Elephants Palate.

An elephants digestive functions
are very rapid, and the animal, there
fore, requires daily large amount of
fodder 800 pounds at least. In its
wild state the elephant feeds heartily,
out wastefully. 1t is careful i'll select
inc the few forest trees which it likes
for their bark or foliage. But it will
tear down branches and leave half OF
them untouched. 1t will strip off the
bark from other trees and throw away
a large portion.
As it is a nocturnal animal, it selects
its trees by the senses Of touch ana
smell. Its sense of smell is so delicate
that VIVID elephant can wind an en-
envy at distance of 1000 yards, and
the nerves of its trunk are SD sensitive
that the smallest substance can be dis
covered and picked up by its tiny pro-
boscis.
An elephants palate is very delicate
and the animal is whimsical in select
ing or rejecting mOrsels of food. Sir
Samuel W. Baker, in his wild Beasts
and Their Ways" tells an anecdote
humorously illustrative of the whims
of a tame elephant belonging to the
police of Dhubri
This elephant was fed with rice and
plantains. The stems of the plantains
we're split and cut into transverse sec
tions two feet in length. Three-quar-
ters of a pound of rice was placed
within each tube of plantain stem.
One day, while the elephant was being
| fed, lady offered the animal small
sweet biscuit. 1t was taken in the
trunk and almost Immediately thrown
on the ground.
The mahout, or driver, thinking
that the elephant had behaved rudely,
| picked up the biscuit and inserted it
in parcel of rice within a plantain
stem. This was placed in the ele-
| plants mouth and at the very first
crunch it showed its disgust by spit
! ting out the whole mess. The small
biscuit had disguised the animal and
for several minutes it tried by its in
serted trunk to rake out every atom
| from its tongue and throat.
