LANDLORD WANTS RENT.
The Property of the Holomua to
be Sold at Auction.

S. Allen has newspaper plant
ON his hands, and not knowing just
what to do with il, has decided to
put it up at auction. The plant is
the property of the Holomua Pub
fishing Company. The property
has been distrained for rent, and
will be sold on the 22d inst, unless
a settlement is made before that
date. The probabilities are that
the sale will not come off as it is
said that several of the stockholders
in the company will furnish the re-
quired bonds.
The Holomua has changed hands
several times during the past three
years. At one time it was in the
hands of G.. J. Waller, who held a
blanket mortgage. He disposed OF
the plant and good will to an agent
of Mrs. Dominis,' who in turn sold
it to the present company, of which
Charles B. Wilson is said to be the
head. The paper is hostile to the
Government, and occasionally the
editor, Edmund Norrie, has been
arrested on charges of alleged sedi-
tious utterances. At present the
editor has a charge of libel against
his name preferred by the Govern
ment.

LONDON, Nov. S.-One has only to
walk along the crowded portion of Re
gent street or invade the aristocratic
Bond street to be convinced that the
English woman has not been behind her
American cousin in creating new pro-
fessions. Very unique ones have been
started, and the English aristocracy is
busy making history in mercantile
fashion. The word 'gentlewoman" III
England means nothing but restriction
of every sort. When the American girl
says, What Is the use of being who l
am if l cannot do as l please:' the
English woman queries, Il should like
TO II, bat suppose people should fancy
| was odd:'' y few have, however, GER
tainly, broken away from conventional
modo of thought and have been pioneers
in several original professions. One wo-
man, In preference TO giving up her
dainty handbook of 4 home in st. John S
Wood, has become q window draper.
She chooses and buys the material for
curtains and hangings. She Grapes them
as we'll. Not only Is she employed III
private houses, but she decorates the
windows of the smaller shops. a daugh-
ter of one of EnGland's prominent Rad
icals Is what Is called ''suggester. y
This enterprising woman selects all the
articles for well appointed home. She
chooses, buys and selects everything
from the toasting fork TO the Gobelin
tapestries. She orders everything from
the tons of coal to the butter. Not until
the family in whose service she is en-
ployed sits down TO a we'll appointed
meal in their own home does she dare
present her bill.
I waited u whole hour in the yicini-
" Of Holborn viaduct TO catch sight Of
the girl who advertises ito break in
new boots" 1t Is needless TO say that it
was her feet more than her ingenuity
that interested me. Another washes
and exercises dogs. She may be seen any
morning IN Covent Gardens exercising
regiment of CANNES belonging 70 rich
women. There are several women who
arrange dinners and wash and put away
china IN the morning, and IN the even
ing reap the benefits of their own in
dustry by sitting down as guests to eat
the dinner they superintendent. The
woman who does shopping for country
people has n lucrative trade. There are
many who constantly call upon her for
aid, possibly because the English wo-
man does not shop in the same fashion
AS the American.

a VERY GOOD SHOWING.

The following centenariaus have
died in Newbury within the past
fourteen years: Phebe Goodwin, June
%, 1881, aged 1O1 years, L month,
Is days; Mrs. Dolly White, April 2,
1887, aged 1O3 years, 8 months, Il
days; Wells Goodwin, Dec. IL, 1894,
aged 100 years. 1 month, 2 days.
Mr.. Goodwin was born in Rvegate,
Miss Good win in Newbury and Mrs.
White in Strafford, but all three spent
most of their lives in Newbury. On
the first day of January last, there
were 43 persons past 80 years of age
living in that town, which is about
the;average number of octogenarians
for the last twenty years. Wouldn't
it be well to advertise Newbury a
little as health resort? F.P.w.

SOME CALENDARS.

John A. Moore distributed some
handsome calendars to his customers
last week.
A very attractive calendar has
been issued by the Boston & Maine
railroad containing a steel engraving
of the new union depot at Boston.
There are % tracks in this depot
and the average number of pas
sengers that use it daily is estimated
to be 100000.
Charles S. Hastings has given to
the "present and prospective policy
holders" of the State Mutual Life a
large calendar containing beautiful
etching of a rural scene.
For ten years the desk calendar is
sued by the Pope Manufacturing
Company has held a unique place
among business helpers. The calen-
dar for 1895 is even brighter than
its predecessors in appearance, as
clever artists have added dainty sill
houette and sketch to the usual wise
aud witty contributions that have
heretofore given this popular. calen-
dar it's charm. 1t can be had for five
2-cent stamps from the Pope Manu-
featuring Company, Hartford, Conn.,,
or from any Columbia bicycle agency.

RAILROAD NEWS.

Freight business is booming on the
Lake road and more freights have
been run the last two months than
in any similar time in the history of
the road. The Central Vermont are
delivering over 100 cars daily to the
Lake road at Swanton, and one day
delivered 200 cars. Four extra
freights are run daily and last Sun
day seven extras were run. 1t took
IL engines to draw these seven
trains as nine loaded cars are a load
for ore engine on the heavy grades.
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad company has
placed an order with the Rhode
Island locomotive works for $780,
900 worth of locomotives. The
order calls for 25 consolidated loco
motives, the largest made, having
four pairs of driving wheels 81
inches in diameter. The cylinders
will be 20 by 26 inches and the com
pleted machines will weigh 10000
pounds on the drivers.
In an interview in the Boston
Journal President Tuttle has this to
say in regard to the Boston &
Maine system:
'The business of the Maine system has
showed a surprising and gratifying in
crease in its receipts since the 1st of
October, especially in freight traffic
Never in the history of the road have
freight receipts been so large as for the
past two months. When decline comes
such as we have been passing through
the freight business falls off first and it
recovers earliest. We are getting every
thing at the union station into good
working order, and 1 realize as much as
do any of our patrons that we are still
far from perfection down there, but with
some patience and constant study all
will be Strengthened before we are much
older.

The readings by F. Hopkinson
Smith in our lecture course last Fri
day evening were one of the most en-
joyable entertainments ever held in
Music Hall. 1t is seldom that an
author is good reader, and it was
real pleasure to hear this gifted
man read from his own works. Mr..
Smith was gracefully introduced by
Rev. F. Appleton. He first read sew
eral selections from "Col. Carter of
Gainesville" prefacing the reading
with the remark that several of the
| characters in this book were drawn
from his plantation acquaintance.
"a Day at Legare's" followed,
which was description of a delight
fully home-like French restaurant on
the Bronx river, just north of New
York city. Before Mr.. Smith read
the story of Captain Joe" he told
his audience that every word of the
story was true and that the brave
! hero OF the tale was still living in
New London. 1t was a thrilling
story of how the passengers on a
Hoboken ferry-boat were saved by
the presence Of mind and indomitable
courage of one man. The readings
closed with Mr.. Smiths laughable
experience in Amsterdam while at
tempting to paint the quaint archi
lecture of that Dutch city. During
the evening the reader was frequent
ly interrupted by applause, and he
held the earnest attention of the
audience throughout the entire pro-
gramme.
