What II to BE Dones
About week ago an organization was
formed In Lonsdale for the avowed pur-
dose of fighting vice. 1t was instituted
on the lines OF Law and order league.
The local clergymen and some other gen.
tlemen known in the community ss be-
levers in temperance and other moral
qualities projected the new association
and attended to its formation.
What Is to be done with this new engine
OF reiormf Is IL to be operated with yigor,
or will It's directors manage tc keep 1t
from rusting simply? VIII earnest effort
be made to prevent the Illegal selling OF
liquor and to drive cut other immoral
practices from the community? DO the
active spirits In the society mean business
-nght,- or have certain public officials
sufficient influence with them to moderate
their pace I'm the pursuit Of decent condi-
tions and modify their opinions Of what
10 evil and therefore harmful?
With an honest and fearless employ
ment of the society's energy and infiu-
ence, lmuch good may be accomplished;
but hating or a half hearted policy on
the part OF its leaders will simply bring
the society into deserved contempt.
Trouble over a Lease.
Newsdesler p. O'Sullivan. OF Valley
Falls and Baker Rupert Steere are apt to
have little difficulty that has sprung up
between them settled In the courts. Some
months ago Mr.. Steere leased a piece of
land from Mr.. O'Suliivsn and erected a
small building thereon. Inside the build
ing he built an oven and outside he hung
several signs warning the public that he
prepared daily varied assortment OF bis
Quits, breads, cakes, pies, etc. Recently
he decided to add hot tea and coffee,
brewed on the spot, to his other commo-
dities, as well AZ hot or cold ham, tongues,
pigs feet and the like. These liquids and
solids were cooked on the spot, and Mr..
Steere did not object to having them eaten
on the spot by those into whose posses
sion they came through purchase.
Now Mr.. O'Sullivan claims that the
lease given Mr.. Steere, which by the way
was written by ex-Town Clerk Kinion,
does not carry with II the privilege of
running hotel and he has called Mr..
Steere's attention to the fact. 1t is hinted
that Mr.. O'Sullivan has notion OF start
ing an eating house himself, and that be
thinks two "feed stores" within 40 feet
would be "crowding the mourners" so to
speak.
Rumor has It that Mr.. Steere Will be
guided by the opinion OF his lawyer, who,
II Ia said, advised him to keep right on
feeding the hungry and giving drink to
the thirsty. The legal gentleman is quoted
as saying that Mr.. Steere could, so far as
the lease Is concerned, run livery stable,
q bow ling alley or a Harkns' mission on
the land II he desired to.
Scarlet Fever.
Mrs. Frederick A. Wbittemore, wife of
the principal OF the Lonsdale High School,
was taken sick with scarlet fever this
morning and the doctors fear that she
will have a serious time with 1t. One of
Mrs. Whittemore's children has had the
disease and Is fast getting over 1t.
A little child Of Henry Ewart Of Main
street, Lonsdsle, was reported sick With
the scarlet fever today.
Valley Fails Notes.
Peter j. Gaskln, the druggist, has COM
pleted he transfer of his stock and fixtures
from the Rutledge building to the Black
stone block.
John Z. Barry and Walter Hope are
among the local students recently en-
rolled at Coles Academy, Pswtucket.
The noise made by woman, who had
been drinking ardent spirits, near the
corner OF Dexter and High streets last
night, was, as one bystander expressed it,
ga caution"
Mrs. Francis Ii. McGirr will remove her
millinery and fancy goods business from
Lonsdale, new village, to 742 Broad street
tomorrow.
New trucks are being put under the
"bob-tail' car which does transfer SER
vice between Valley Falls and Lonsds'e.
The new trucks were badly needed, as the
Olu OHts WtES III ttrIlDls suhpS. ~ rue
In the "bob-tail" from McGunagle's COR
ner to the Catholic Oak, with the "fat"
wheel going tbumpety thump and the
affair rocking like cookie shell was to
undergo an experience that left behind
very unpleasant sensations. NJ ,st people
with nerves would rather walk than take
the transfer jostle. Thanks to Manager
Luther the car is being repaired.
