Bristol.

The first OF October was looked upon
by many sportsmen as a day of pleasure
as the law went off on quail and a mum Der
had gathered here from various places to
enjoy days recreation in the woods, but
upon reaching the woods they were
brought to standstill by notices
placed upon every farm strictly
forbidding any one from shooting
upon their premises. 1t seems no farmer
has done this OF his own accord, but by
advice OF one or two who were anxious to
be smart. Several sportsmen have had
large number of quail from the South
located in the different woods of the
county and now these same sportsmen are
deprived of all right of shooting.

NEWPORT.
An Annual Happening at Rhode Is.
lands Famous Resort.

Newports summer season would not be
complete unless Mrs. Paran Stevens be-
came involved in a dispute with some
tradesman over his bill. Why this annu-
ally occurs is hard to tell, for Mrs.
Stevens is rich and fully able to
but nevertheless, there is always one
that angers her, and is disputed. A short
time ago Il. w. Merrill secured judgment
against her for bill of s15.
At the time 1t was fully reported in
the papers, and this fact displeased
Mrs. Stevens very much. About two
O'Clock yesterday afternoon she drove up
TO Mr.. Merrills store, and called out the
bookkeeper. Upon his appearance she
accused him OF giving informa-
tion concerning her recent troubles
to reporters. This he stoutly
gressed hot words were exchanged.
Mrs. Stevens said that she could not
see why all the merchants were down on
her. Clerk said they would not be IL she
paid her bills. She told Clerk he looked
like man whom nobody would trust.
Clerk said he paid cash, and didn't
have to get trusted like some
other people. She asked him what he
meant by answering her back. He tod
her that he was none of Ward McAliister's
Inverted servants, and that he would
give her as good as she sent.
she said Clerk was q brute"
and "cur." Clerk said she
was far from being lady. BY this time
large crowd had gathered, and Mrs.
Stevens observing them, said: "Who are
these peoples" A small boy who had
been taking in the proceedings
with open -mouthed amazement piped
out: "Them's clerks" This remark, and
from such a source was a fioorer. And
Mrs. Stevens took refuge in her carriage
and was driven away, followed by q
hearty laugh from two score of throats.

appeared In print. / like to refer to .
man who has, unaided, built up such q
lucrative business. You remember the
amount of his first policy, $500, and how
In 20years his insurance business increased
to the millions? That is pretty good
evidence, is 1t not, that he is desirable
gentleman to do business with
in that line. II you wish to
invest money in mortgages, IL
you wish to purchase interest paying
property, IL you are desirous of having
your rents collected or your estate looked
after In any form communicate with Mr..
Herrick. Remember also his advice to
investors: "Don't get too far away from

Ii would take but little imaginative
power for the attendant at the aces at
Narragansett Park to be one of the large
number who attend the running races in
the West. Yesterday was the first of the
series of exhibitions OF the fieetness of
thoroughbreds when egged on by
the lig weight jockeys. The fourth race
on the card yesterday, in which st.
Michael, with Taral up, came bounding
under the wire by half head, was the
prettiest sight OF the day. 1t was a grand
stand exhibition, sure enough. IL only
had the time and space could knit to-
gether some interesting stuff regarding
the followers OF this sport who were on
the ground yesterday from New York,
Philadelphia and Boston, and even Chi
cage had few representatives.
"Chelsea Joe, ,""Iarry Kennedy" "Archie
Stalker" were among former Providence
men ! noted. The rotunda of the Nara
gansett Hotel last evening presented an
animated appearance in consequence OF
the large number of strangers in the city
to attend the races.

At bingham the townspeople turned

The discussion at Middleboro was the
most heated of any, and arose, as might
have been expected, from the recent at
oack upon the town. When the question
