When you make investments OF your
little savings. look about you on all sides
and find out for yourself where it is wise to
put your money DO not trust anybody
implicitly. Women often lose their money
through sheer laziness in finding ont what
sort of risks they are taking. Naturally
nobody is as much interested in your af-
fairs as you are. Do not expect, therefore,
that anybody else will take trouble for you
that you are unwilling to take for yourself.

THE FEE SYSTEM.
n MOVEMENT AMONG MEMBERS OF
NEW CIyY GOYERSMENT
To Abolish the Fee System, Which IL =
Star Chamber Sort of Proceeding and
Not Beneficial to City or Citizens.

1t is currently reported that several
members OF the new city government are
strongly in favor of the adjustment of
the fee system by which the heads OF
some departments have reaped substan-
tial harvest from the revenue which they
and their deputies have collected for a
series OF years. The city council has no
means OF securing reliable information of
the amounts thus collected as the annual
reports are not certified to, and simply
give summary of the years business.
The offices in which this free system is
most extensively practised are those OF the
city sergeant, sealer of weights and
measures, city gauger, dog constables and
inspectors, and while the ordinances fix
the fees at a prescribed rate, they do not
provide any system of audit of the ac-
counts nor any examination of
the returns. 1t is believed that
in the interest of economy and an
equally faithful performance of duty that
a reasonable salary should be substituted
for the system in vogue. Complaints
have been frequent that some of
these officers have exercised un-
due interference and harsh exact
tion in the imposition of fees, and they
certainly seem to thrive as prosperously
and live as comfortably as some of the
occupants of the fattest-salariedp positions.

Fitzgerald's voice clear and calm, read
out the finding, and died away with a
slight emphasis on the final word.
Then Prendergast revealed himself the
utter coward. His face turned pale, he
opened his mouth to speak, but only n
faint murmur came from between his hot
and quivering lips.

utterly in Prrndergast's breast. He was
half led, half carried back 10 his cell.

self upon his bunk in the attempt to hide
from his fellow-prisoners, whose express
sions of satisfaction over the verdict were
more emphatic than graceful, and more
sincere than polite.

uation as they watched the progress
OF the work OF the exami-
ner and his assistant. All
expressed surprise at Benefits downfall,
and as book after book was turned aside
without any false entries having been
found, they became more assured that his
specuiations had been limited to the past
few months.
Cashier Noyes stated, Mt a late hour this
afternoon, that the examiners were still

nc prospect that they would be able to
ascertain the exact amount of the deh-

The cheap suit of clothes and overcoat
that Bennett probably wore when he left
the city, were purchased on Wednesday
afternoon, and as they were not taken
TO his home at that time
they must have been left
with some friend who could care
for them until he was ready to leave.
Every evidence goes to show that Bennett
has been contemplating his flight for
some time, and he has covered his track
with such care that 1t is very difficult to
ind clue to any OF his actions.

A DISASTROUS RESULT.
Drug Clerk Puts Dose Of Poison in
Some Alcohol
BOUGHT BY TRAMPS LAST NIGHT.
Warned Them There Was Poison In 1t.
But Seven Men Drank of It-Four Are
Dead and Three Dying-what RiGh MT
Had Clerk to DO 1T
Special to The News.


ATrLEBoRo, Dec. 30-Two men went
into .-G GlaEk,s drug store last
night and bought pint of alcohol. The
clerk who sold IL 10 them said:
Snow don't drink this, for IL you do
you will die. have put something in it
and you better look out"
The men went out and were joined by
five Others. They went to a locality
near the depot and drank the liquor.
After that four of them went to the
lookup for lodgings and three started for
North Attic boro.
Hardly had they reached the lookup
when they were taken sick, and two died
at once.
One OF the men, who is Just alive, says
his name is John Lyden. He bought the
alcohol at the drug store. He says he is a
discharged soldier from the United States
army, and was on his way to his home in
New Hampshire. He does not know the
names of his companions. He says the
drug store man told them again and
again that the alcohol would kill them if
they drank it.
lie SAID that when he passed it to the
other tramps to drink he exclaimed: "We
will now take our chancesl" 1t being
agreed to, the stuff was drank.
Deputy Sheriff Brown Of North Attle-
boro was notified as to the three tramps
going toward that town and, with an
other Officer sAe began securing the roads
between this town and North Attleboro
to find them.
Two of the men were found dead at
Farmers, station about a mile from this
village on the road to North Attleboro.
At last reports the other man had not
been discovered.
Medical Examiner Holden, who was
called TO attend the sick men at the lock
up, stated that, in his opinion, the cause
OF the poisoning was either aconite or tar
tar emetic. An autopsy now being made
will reveal the cause.

The Consolidated Road Turned over

j. III. Benton, jr, attorney for the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
company, met the Joint special committee
on railroad terminal fneiiities- in the
mayors office at 12o'clock today having in
his possession five checks ag
gregating Sl77,705 in readiness
for presentation ito City
Treasurer Granger in return for the deeds
from the city conveying Ito the corpora
tion the use and occupancy Of the old
passenger station and Its site and ap-
proaches until the completion of the new
union station. Mayor Potter executed the
deeds as authorized by the City Council
and Chairman Vaughan OF the committee
turned them over to Attorney Benton.
Attorney Benton simultaneously produced
five checks for $222, $3.50, $685.
24s.25, S33, ,77s.75, S16,193 and S39,937 80,
aggregating Si77,705. Clerk Hayden then
escorted he city treasurer into the
mayors office, who took possession OF the
checks and deposited them in his
safe. The transfers were thus completed
without delay and the slightest fric-
tion and the members OF the committee
retired with satisfaction beaming on their
faces. Nothing was limited at the demo-
lition OF the old station nor any pro-
position submitted in regard TO
any amendment Of plans looking
toward five acre park nor any intimation
of any controversy on the defining Of
street lines south of the station. As
members OF the committee said, this
was all moonshine and was
given publication with the
hope that the payments would be post
poned. There is no highway question to
be settled, because the lines were all de-
fined and accepted year ago, and
they were agreeable to the corporation.
