ffroDhDly out OF regard 10 Clerk Follett,
who, now that his hay is all cut and
housed, is spending a few days at the
Vineyard, the docket In the Jusiic Court
today was very light one. Only one
prisoner was up for trial. He was charged
with being vagrsnt and was sent to the
Farm for months.
Had Comm Engaged.
That what Is one persons misfortune
may be quite the opposite for others was
we'll illustrated yesterday In the case OF a
woman no was sentenced as common
drunkard to months at Cranston. She
said she had left very sick husband at
home, with no one to take care OF him,
and appeared specially anxious about him
and also In regard to the safe keeping,
during her enforced absence, OF her (al-
leged) jewelry, of which she claimed to
have quite a quantity.
The husband does not seem, however, to
be in such very serlons condition, as he
put In an appearance today at the station,
and did not look very sick or very down.
hearted eithe 10 seems thst he has been
a little under the weather, and his wife
has gone so far as to engage coffin for
him, make arrangements for his funeral
and do several other things which per-
haps would have been as we'll left undone
untilhe was at least past allIhope OF recov-
ery.
He does not seem at all inclined to carry
ont the programme, for he says he 10 not
dead, and really 1t would seem ss IL he
were not. Truly there are more things In
this strange world OF ours than are
I'd eamed of in other philosophies, even
than thot oS Inratfn I'm the NAV.
The City's Population.
1t is fair to suppose that the census re.
turns for this city, which are now nearly
completed, will show q marked increase
In our population since the last census
figures were compiled In 1890. Good
guessers are putting the number OF souls
domiciled within the city limits as high
as 20, 900, but 1t may be argued with safety
that that number Is too large. There can
hardly be that number OF persons In the
city now, IL the figures given out at the
time OF the town division, $4,000, were
even approximately correct. Many citi-
zens are OF the opinion that the popula-
tion Of the city will not exceed 16, ,00O and
not few observing citizens think that
1900 would be an outside figure. Any.
way, there Is considerable speculation
concerning the matter, and the report. OF
the census bureau will be awaited with
much interest by great many OF our
people.
Congressman Morse To Speak.
The union service to be held tomorrow
at the Congregational and Baptist
churches will no doubt be largely attend
ed. The principal speaker will be Con-
gress Morse and they are great many
who will want to hear him.
Pointer For Bargain Seekers.
Commencing today and continuing one
week N. Harding, the enterprising mer-
chant OF Central street, Will inaugurate
20 per cent. discount sale on all goods In

prudent housewives Of this vicinity to get
their supply OF dry goods at ridiculously
low prices.
