Manufacturing Notes.

The Candee rubber factory closed Mon day night for the five weeks vacation, the packing of the shoes and boots made last week being completed. During the shut down the annual inventory will be taken and general repairing done. Considerable new machinery will be added costing from $S.000 to $1O.000. One large new callen- der will be added, among other things. This big factory closes every year about this time for inventory and repairs. The annual shut down lasts usually about two weeks, but owing to @ large surplus of manufactured goods on hand the shut down this year is longer than usual.
 Business is quiet at Sargent 6 Go. 's big manufactory, and about 800 of the hands are idle.
 R. F. Burchell, for many years one of the leading contractors at Sargent & Co.'S, has resigned.
 At O. B. North & Go g some of the men in the foundry arc idle.
 At the big clock factory work is fairly brisk, and the large force Is working on slightly reduced time.

A wampum Cryptogram.

A graduate of Swarthmore college, pro-
ficient in the languages and noted for his
devotion to cipher reading, or, rs he pre-
fers to call 1t, the oryptogrnmmio art, has
recently had his attention directed to the
deciphering of Indian wampums.
1T is a common mistake" he says, Ito
refer TO wampum belts as Indian money.
The Indians prize them highly not only az
ornaments, but for their historical value,
because in reality they were records OF
tribal traditions. Each shell, quill, stone
or piece Of carved wood attached TO the belt
had a meaning, just as printed words have
to us, and the elders of a tribe knew how
to read and compose them.
''Thcre is u famous wampum belt owned
by a~semnant of the Iroquois, near SYRIA
cuse, composed OF nearly 1000 pieces OF
she'll, quill and bone, which relate the
story Of Champlain's invasion. 1 claim IL
Is not necessary to have any knowledge OF
the ~Iroquois tongue in order to decipher
that belt, and after some preliminary prac-
ticc with specimens In the Delaware coun-
ty institute and elsewhere.J purpose seri-
ously 10 undertake the d~cciphoring OF the
great Iroquois cryptogram. "-Philadel-

Four young men who loved to look at
different parts OF the own after nightfall
found that they were paying large sums
each month in cab hire. One Of them sug-
gested that they buy a carriage and team
and keep it for their own use. He demon
strated that IL would be a saving. They
found q driver who was anxious TO go In
to business on his own account. Then
they bought the carriage and horses. 1t
was agreed that the driver should haula any
or all of them free Of charge until he had
paid for the rig on the slow installment
plan.
Under this arrangement the young men
began riding at all hours of the day and
night. Whenever and wherever any OF
them saw the carriage n decided to take
a ride the driver had to part with his pay
ing customer and oblige the owners. The
driver took to side streets to avoid them
and was afraid to return to his corner,
knowing that one or more would be there
ready for some all night expedition. But
with great patience he labored on, making
his small payments, and at the end of two
years III became sole owner Of two broken
down horses and a carriage which looked
as IL IL Ind been through a massacre.-

THE TWO LOST KITTENS.
Or q Piece Of Moving Fly Paper--A
Midsummer Romance.

A piece Of sticky hy paper, two three
dsys' old kittens and an old cat created
considerable amusement In Freeman's
restaurant this morning. The cat and her
progeny were sleeping peacefully behind
the cashiers desk when Q playful zephyr
whisked through the screen door, rufhed
the cashiers curls and caught up a sheet
of the plentifully b~esprinkled fly paper.
The paper with it's cargo was dropped
gently down and down and lowered Tor
an instant over the three feiines sleeping
On the floor.
II lowered but an instant, but the old
cat heard its rustling and quickly
vacated, while the sheet, like an
avenging fate, dropped upon
the two kittens, enveloping them In It's
sticky embrace. There was a
moment Of quiet and then the
customers at the tables were startled
by q shrili yowi from the old
cat followed Immediately by two
| tiny squeaks of horror from the
kittens. The cashier looked anxiously
about for the origin of the noise and one
OF the walters, thinking that the cat was
sick, carried her out into the back yard.
Suddenly the fy-paper on the hoor
became animated, N q moment
later the people in the o were
astonished to see the sheet moving
slowly down the center OF the room
One of the walters got Out
his bottle of nerve r~ejuvenatel
and took q copious dose. The proprietor
carefully approached the animated
sheet and turned it over ant
then every one yelled, fol
lying on the paper were the two kitteni
frantically waving their tiny legs in tn
air. After q while they wer'
pried out of the sticky mass an
after considerable work were relieved
Of the glue and dead file
which ornamented them, but not unit
the old cat had had a try at them wit
her tongue. The old cat has not beef
seen since.

A NEW SWlNDLE.

A new freak has been bothering South
Providence people with some marvellous
offers of electrical appliances for the
houses. He carries with him q small
coil of steel wire and some pieces
of brass that constitute what
he calls his light and message
developer. When his knock is answered
and the door held open long enough for
him to talk he begins with an explain
alton that q new company has
been formed for the purpose Of giving
poor people o telephone and lighting
service cheaper than kerosene oil
and errand boys. Then he shows the
wire and brass and tells how it works and
how little trouble it will cause the house
keeper to "put It in"
The magnitude OF his offer increases
with the simplicity OF h person he Is
talking with. For instance, he told one
very old lady that IL she had a son OF
daughter in Boston or New York that he
could fix the wire so hat she might sit
in her rocking chair and talk with them,
In no case did the q agent y ask for a pre-
limirary deposit so that he can't be called
a swindler and 1t is supposed that he IL
sons electrical monomaniac who perhaps
thinks his name is Edison. -

A DOUBLE HANGING.
By The Associated Press.

Bp ING A$OCtutcu fTe%-
CANTON, Miss, July 31.-Two men were
executed for the murder of Norman Hop
son, who was a witness against them on .
charge of burglary.
The body Of Hopson was found floating
in a lake near Big Black River, last fall,
with a heavy stone tied to it. An inves-
tigation resulted in the arrest OF
of the SCOTS, who, when confronted
with the testimony against them, made q
confession in which they stated that Hop
son was murdered TO prevent him from
testifying against them.
At the next term of the criminal court
both OF them pleaded guilty to a charge OF
murder in the first degree, and were SEN
fenced to he hanged.
Their attorneys made an effort to secure
n stay OF execution on the ground that
punishment was excessive for the crime,
but the Supreme Court refused to grant a
supersedas and the Governor declined to
interfere.
William and Frank Scott, colored, were
hanged here today at $3.50 a. m, after re-
receiving the last rites OF the Catholic
Church from Father Monti.

He was old enough to be n man, but
not sufficiently aged to be above n boys

front of the Iroquois the other day no
couldn't resist the temptation to have some
fun with the dog. He had bought a toy
balloon from a street fakir, and the bal
loon and the dog suggested lots OF fun.
He whistled, and when the pup came To
his bidding rs attached the balloon to the
animals tail and cried, Sick 'em, Tighcl'
The dog scampered onward a few feet,
but as he felt the balloon bounding about
his legs turned suddenly, and planting
his teeth i'm 1t quickly exploded the funny
business. The joker, when he heard tho
laughter of the crowd and the jubilan'
bark of the dog, made a hasty sneak
