PoWnaI.


The picnic on July 4th at the Perch
pond was an excellently managed affair.
All the schools attended with their re
spective teachers, and all the parents and
friends accompanied them. After pro-
CessiOn to the grove there was prayer,
reading of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence by the superintendent, singing by
various parties, remarks by the School
Boards, recitations by pupils, and music
by the POwnal Cornet band, followed by
tables of good things, a merry go-rOund,
boating, ball playing and woodland ram
bles till all too soon the hours had passed
by, and time to go home had come.
Two fires on consecutive nights, one of
Mrs. Tyler's barn, the other of the tene-
ment occupied by John Green and John
Oscar Card makes our people very sus-
piciOus of ''fre-bug' among us. MANY
features of each fire have a similar ap-
pearance, and so satisfied are some of its
being incendiary that 5000 reward is now
offered with yet more promised. On Fri
day, Mrs. Edgar Rhodes found fire at
work in the partition between the adj
joing tenement and her own, which was,
however, quickly suppressed. Mrs.
Byrnes says size found her woodshed on
fire Friday night.
Mrs. Carl Ladd is visiting friends here.
Mrs. Nelson johnson is very ill.

Ronors for Rosa Bonheur,

The Empress Eugene was a great adj
mirer of Mademoiselle Bonheur, and de-
sired the emperor to bestow upon her
the cross of the Legion of Honor, writes
Ella McKenna Friend in an interesting
sketch, with portrait, of the "Recluse of
Fontanebleau" in the July Ladies'
Home Journal. Up to this time, 1864,
the decoration had never been given to u
woman, except for acts of great bravery.
That it should be given in recognition
OF talent alone was opposed by Napole-
On's cOunselOrs, and he was reluctant to
bestow it against their advice.
During his absence the next year the
Empress acted as Regent Her first act,
when she retired to the palace of Fon-
tainebleau for the summer, was to drive
through the woods to the artists home,
and surprising her in the blue blouse in
which she worked pinned to her breast
the cross and bit of ribbon that made
her a Knight of the Legion of Honor, the
greatest honor in the power of the Impe-
rial Government to bestow.
In 1898 new honOrs came to her. In
recognition of her work at the Columbi-
an Exhibition the President of the
French Republic advanced her to the
grade of Officer of the Legion of Honor,
bestowing an unusual and yet a deserv-
ed honor upon the most famous woman
painter of her time.

of its merits, and its cures have been ac-
complished right here in our midst.

bition. l kept about my work, but had
no appetite and was in a poor condition
generally. My sister had been benefited

termined to try it. l did so and began to
feel better at once. When / had taken

Bright Prospects for North Adams.

Bright Prospects for North Adams.
Following closely upon an announce.
meDt of Adams great luck in securing
the 100000 cotton mill, the largest in
the world, to be built at once. comes the
report that she is not to be alone in her
good fortune. 1t is now North Adams
turn to rejoice in the assured fact of an
immense addition to her manufacturing
interests. Perhaps no more important
industrial matter was ever concluded at
a single time in that place than the de-
clson reached Friday evening whereby
the town is to have what will virtually
be two very large new cotton mills.
The increase to her manufactures is to
consist in additions to both the Beaver
and Eclipse mills that will more than
double he size and capacity of those
mi - icy stand at present.
I"r edition to the Beaver mill, just
above the present building will be of
brick or iron, POO feet in length, 70 feet
in width and three stories high. The
capacity of this addition will be $4,000
splndles and 600 looms, and itself will
make employment for force. consider
ably larger than that of the present Bea-
yer mill. The mill will be equipped
with entirely new aud the most modern
machinery, and will have a new steam
plant to meet the increased need of
power.
The Eclipse mill is to be added to and,
at least doubled in size and capacity by
the Arnold Print Works. The new
structure here is to be of the same di-
mansions and material as the new build
ing at the Beaver, namely, 200 feet long,
70 feet wide and three stories high. The
capacity of the new structure will be a.
600 spindles and 600 looms. AS at the
Beaver, also, the looms will occupy the
entire addition. The machinery here,
too, will be from the best American and
English builders.
Both mills are to manufacture fine
cOttons.
Some idea of the importance to North
Adams industrial life in these addition
al enterprises may be seen when it is con-
sidered that they are calculated to more
than double the output of the present
Beaver and Eclipse mills, and will give
additional employment to more than 600
people.
The contracts for the new buildings
were closed Saturday. Work is to be be-
gun at once and pushed as rapidly as
possible, and it is expected that the new
factories will be ready for occupation
not later than December LIST.
