THEBLAckSToNE'S BANKS

The Loyal Women OF American Liberty
are anxious to raise flags on every school
house In the Blackstone Valley. As near
ly as can be ascertained these women have
taken the public schools under their
special protection and are determined
that patriotism, as they understand It,
shall be taught the pupils. Their idea Of
patriotism appears to be the constant and
malicious stirring up of strife between
peoples of different religious beliefs.
On Saturday committee, who, It
might be argued, would be better en-
ployed In domestic affairs-doing their
housew sework-representing this organiZa-
tion OF high name and low aim, called on
Trustee Kinion of District No. l3, Cum
berland, and informed him that the flag
on the Valley Falls school building was
badly torn and that they proposed to re-
place it with new one, to be raised with
"truly patriotic exercises" The truly pa
triotic exercises judging from former oc-
casions where these same evil hearted and
empty headed fanatics were allowed full
swing, would consist of a sort of war
dance or gro, esque procession of the
American Mechanics, led by Huge Cheek
Pollard and Americus Jayhawker Patt
un- n-American songs by ancient females,
more bitter than beautiful; spread eagle
speeches OF the lingo type by"honorables"
whose assault on the English language
are beyond description, and the sh out
ings and hand-clappings of a small but
choice band of bigoted ignoramuses of
both sexes.
Trustee Kinion assured the committee
that District No. 13 would try to care for
business. Their ofYor of new flag he felt
obliged to decline, as when a new one was
needed tho people of the district could and
would provide 1t.
As a sample of the intelligence of the
average "Loyal Women" this incident,
vouched for by a we'll known citizen, will
bear telling: "On the 1880 p. m. train
leaving Providence on Feb. q, last, says
the gentlemen in question, 81 sat behind
a party of Loyal Woman who belonged to
the Lonsdale branch. They had been to
an entertainmt mt in that city. At the en-
tainment someone had impersonated
Martha Washington. The women In

man Depew, wife of Chauncy NJ. Depew,
died at her residence In this city yesterday

ciety and devoted her time mainly Il
charitable and church work. She has for
years been the president Of the Womsn's
Association for the Hahnemann hospital,
and was also connected with q score or
more different church associations.
The final arrangements have not yet
been made for the funeral, but 1t Is prob
able that it will be held from St. Barthol.

greRation Mrs Depew was a member.
