The townspeople OF Pascoag, who have
a sufficiency OF the necessaries of life, will
undoubtedly rally to the relief Of the
hundreds OF operatives who are deprived
OF the means of gaining livelihood by
the destruction OF the Harrisvilie woolen
mills. In its far-reaching results just at
this season Of the year, IL was one OF the
most disastrous calamities that could have
befallen the village.
Evangelist Moody will address the busi-
ness men of the city in Music hall tomor-
row afternoon. IL Is safe to say that the
majority OF them seek TO employ the
golden rule in their dealings with their
customers and treatment OF their en-
ployes, but little religious awakening

general assembly have single week In
which TO arriveat harmonious decision as
to the policy to be adopted at the January

professional actors battle with the man
agement over priority OF advertisement
when assigned to minor roles In the cast.
The Metropolitan club which gave a
series OF delightfe bakes at their head
quarters on the Baker farm in Warwick
the past season, have changed their name
TO Americus after that of the fiourishing

The architects of the city are not in
clined to favor the concentration Of the
preparation of designs and supervision
Of public buildings in the
city engineers department. They take
the ground that the department
is already overworked and that the change
is not calculated TO ensure more salts
factory architectural design or thorough
ness in construction. There is likely to
be opposition in the city council when the
measure is reported.
The Graham concert in the Providence
Opera house Sunday evening proved pleas
ant entertainment TO an audience OF good

by Carrie Tutein, Flossie West. Eddie
Giguere, Ben Dodge, MissAlice G. Hodgdon
the Harvard Quartet and j. w. Kelly were
all pleasurable. Mr.. Kelly kept the audi
encc in o roar by his quaint and comic re-
marks.
