Concert at City Hall.

The concert in aid of the A. M. E., Iii
on Mission, given at the City hall, was
fairly well attended last evening, but
the audience WAS not as large as the oc-
casion deserved. There was plenty O
enthusiasm, however, and almost every
num- ber was encored. The Temple Male
Quartette sang very sweetly. Messrs.
Hatch and Skillin gave great pleasure
with their duets on the banjo and quit
ar, xylophone and guitar, and bottle
piano. Prof. Glven's violin solos were
excellent. The Misses Hill and Robin
son evoked great applause by their sing
ing. Mr.. Clarence Brooks's baritone
solos were very pleasing, and Mr.. Robert
L. L.Whitcomb's readings were admirable
as usual. Mr.. j. E. Woodbury. filled the
dific ult role of accompanist to great sat
isfaction.

EXETER IS DRY.
Every Liquor Saloon in the Town
Has Been Closed.
REGULAR CUSTOMERS FAIL TO
GET MORNING DRINKS.

the Selectmen Sufficed-The Law Will
BE Enforced RigidIy.
Exeter, y. H., April 4.-Exeter is dry
this morning, for the selectmen have car
led into effect their intention to close
every saloon in the .own. As a result, lots
of men who were doing a fourishing trade
yesterday have suddenly gone out of busi.
ness. They don't stop on the order Of their
going. but went quick. Early seekers who
have been among the first customers at the
saloons, couldn't get their usual tipple, and
many-from the surrounding towns VINO
have been accustomed 10 purchase the ar
dent in Exeter, were among he disappont t.
ed ones.
1t was hot so Il last night. for beer was as
free as swater at many places, the proprie-
tors being only too glad to get rid of it,
and treats were numerous.
1t has beenseXpected ever since the select
men appointed Mr.. Dana W. Baker liquor
agent of the town that they would enforce
the law but their action was surprise
nevertheless. No one expected they would
put the law in force at once. but would
wait until the liquor agency was open and
ready for business.
This, however, they concluded not to do,
but yesterday safternoon quietly made a
tour of the town themselye es and personally
stop selling or suffer the consequences.
The police have as yet had nothing to d o
with the business, having received no or
ders i'll regard 10 the saloons.
One of the most prominent men in the
town, who has carried on saloon, say S
he is satisfied TO go out of business if the
selectmen will carry out an absolute ell
forcement of the law. He believes, however.
that numerous kitchen and side-door bar
rooms will spring up as a result of the move
ment.
The selecfmen are determined body of
men, and they have started in for vigor-
Gus enforcement of the law against the
traffic, and Exeter Lay expect to see
liquor war such as the town has never ue-
fore witnessed.
Attorney General E. g. Eastman place d
himself on record at the March town meet
ing as being opposed to illegal selling by
introducing a resolution the pitch of which
was that it was the sense of the town that
the prohibit ory law should be enforced.
After remarks had been made in favor of
the resolution by Rev. W. L.Anderson, pas
tor of the First church; Rev. George E..
Street, pastor of the Second church, and
Principal Charles E. Fish, of Phillips Ex-
eter academy, the resolution was voted for
unanimously by The citizens.
IN compliance with that unanimous vote.
the selectmen say they have no other course
left open but to vigorously prosecute every
man engaged in the illegal selling of
liquors.
Chairman Gooch of the board expressed
the sentiments of the other members when
he said:
''We are the agents of the people who
have selected US and must doEas they ysdir ect.
When they tell US as body that we must
sotp the sale of liquor in Exeter, we are
bound to see that their wishes ara carried
out to the letter without fear OF favor,
This We intend to do, and shall proceed
fearlessly 10 STOP rum selling in Exeter

FOR CHEAPER TELEPHONES.
A Rival Company to Bell's-New England
to Reap the Benefits.

Chicago, April A morning paper says
that according to reports telephone com
pany has been formed in New York with a
chest of tremendous extent and backed BY
men as the mention of whose names visions
of vast wealth arises. Tie oapi al stock
of the company is given as S16O. COO. GOO. The
hackers big enough in the financial world
to have their names associated with so
many figures are: The Parritt company of
New York, the Standard Oil company.
searles of the Sugar Trust, George Croc ker
ths San Francisco millionaire, Pill.bury
the Minnesota -four man. and J. S. Clark
son.
The movements of the men represented
here have been paragraphed in the news
papers within the past few weeks in various
parts of the county. Sometimes they have
been suggesttively close to each other.
About a week ago whispers of big rival
of the Bell company were heard in San
Francisco. They were echoed in Wall street
and now they swell into pretty authentic
assurance that such a stupendous enter
prise has been planned and inaugLrafed rs
will stir up the commercial world to an ex-
tent seldom experienced.
The connection of General Clarksons
name with the undertaking develops the
fact that he quietly drifted into Chicago
several days ago and has since been busily
engaged with cipher messages and consul
tations with men Who talk about millions as
small' boy does about marbles
i he most strenuous Attempts have been
made to keep the details OF the enterprise a
secret. and with that probable end in view
stories have been circulated to the effect
that General Clarkson's mission was con-
nected with matter wholly foreign to tel
ephones and telephone companies.
General Clarkson evidently shifted some
thing in the air last night that suggested a
denial to all callers. He had retired for
the night several times last niPnt in re.
sponse to appeals for an interview in refer
ence to the formation of the Telephone
company.
It has leaked out that arrangements have
practically been completed Tor operating
in Illinois in the New England States, in
Kansas, in Iowa and in the Southwestern
and Northwestern States generally. This
territory includes part of the Bell com
pany's stronghold, The apparent object OF
the new born competitor being to parable

The patent to be used is one of the secrets
of the scheme jealously guarded From al
inspired source it has been limited, how
ever. that a phase of the fight that vii

is that the Bell patents, with imp ovements

be utilized by The new company.

INJURY TO THE ST. LOUIS,
Partially Disabled by an Acct
dent to the Steering APP
paratuS.
Guided on by its Twin Screws Until
the Sandy Hook Lighthouse
Was Reached.

NEW YORK, n. Y, June 22.-The new
American liner st. Louis, which arrived
ta-day, met with an accident last Tuesday,
June Is, when in about lat. 1858, long. 55.58.
Some part of the steering apparatus
cracked and it was necessary to useit with
the utmost caution and discretion. Con-
sequently the vessel was steered with her
twin screws as far as practicable until the
lightship was reached, when the rudder
was again called into play.
As the steamer passed Sandy Hook she
signaled for tugs to meet her. The tugs
Evarts and Pulver, the former with the
representatives of the American line on
board, ran alongside the ship at guaran-
tine and prepared to help her to the pier.
The news of the death of Director Hous-
ton was received as the health officer
cleared her and her flags were at once
halfmasted.
The ships runs were as follows: July 16,
431; 18th, 464; 18th, 4S2; 10Th, 429; Goth,
421: 21st, 436; 22d, 303, and 81 to Sandy
Hook. The total distance travelled was
1923 miles and the time of passage days
and IL hours.
Captain Randle was seen by United
Press reporter at Quarantine. He stated
that the steering gear broke down last
Tuesday, but firmly declined any further
particulars.

nothing important could possibly happen

thing has been minimized now by denials
and explanations TO less formidable pro-
portions where people can view it as
merely one of Mr.. Gladstone's character
