Mr. Williams and his wife left their home at
$50 yester lay morning TO do some shopping
down street, and when they returned few
hours later they found every room in the
house topsy turvy.
At first they thought that their little scrub
dog had had fit. hut upon looking about the
house they found that a window IN the sleep
ing room had been taken out and laid care
iully upon the l., q
4he window wa- low and one through which
rerson could climb with no difficulty. When
they found the window on the bed, they came
10 the conclusion that the house had been
robbed. This 'roved TO true. for Mr. Will
Jams found that all the drawers in his
bureau had been opei~I ana brand new
revolver had Geen taken. The revolver was
of the Smith a Wesson pattern aud the number
was lOl and was valued at >l7. The person or
persons VINO entered the room were satisfied
that there was nothing else of value in the
room, SO they walked through a lirtle sitting
room into the kitchen and into another sleep
ing room, where they ransacked all OF the
drawers In an old-fsshioned bureau. Here
they found another revolver, and on top of
the bureau in an old box was n gold watch
and chain, which Mr.. Williams said mad been
the property of his deed father, and was
worth at least SO. The revolver found in
the last room was cheap affair and was per-
haps worth S5.
ON Wednesday night, when Mr. Williams
came home he had quite roll of bills,
amounting to something like $50 and II Il
this that MIR. Williams thought the persons
wanted. But the money was taken by his

used toward paying the burial expenses OF

EVENING SCHOOLS.
An All Day Session Of the Com.
mittee.
The Absurd Applications of Many
Would-Be Teachers Rejected.

The committee on evening schools is
holding practically an all-day session to-
day, preparatory 10 making its report to
the regular school committee at its Sep
tember meeting this evening.
Ii is possible that all the appointments
on the teaching force will not be made at
this meeting.
Many OF the old teachers, who are grad
yates of college or the high school, and
those who have previously passed the ex-
animation now required by bylaw will be
re-appointed.
OF the 200 and more new applicants who
took this years examination, only 81
passed. Considering the fact that only
go per cent. is required at an examina-
tion TO pass and that the test questions
are nothing more than what grammar
school children are familiar with, 1t is
hard TO gay what the 139 unsuccessful
candidates were thinking OF when they
signed positions 10 teach at the city's ex-
pense. No doubt they could be accom-
modated in the capacity of pupils in the
beginners classes of the same schools
which they hoped to enlighten.
In the evening high school the former
principal, Fred II. Griffin and all the as
sistants have been reelected.
For the advanced evening schools the
grade of the regular day grammar schools
has been establishd with few modifica-
tions. Music. drawing and gymnastics
are to be left out, but the day system so
far as "common branches are concern
ed, will be adhered TO. The advanced
schools" are located at Brigham, Oxford,
Candace and Thayer streets, and on
Mount Pleasant.

Fred Chase of the City Messengers office
went to the Office of Andrew Adams the
Mayors secretary, this forenoon. TO look
up something official and was referring
TO an index, when the following conver-

Fred-"Thls index isn't kent right. F"
Andrew-"What's the matter with it?''
Fred-"All Union Railroad Company

you've got cross-town lines and transfer

Andrew-"That's ell right, transfer
checks and Cross Town lines haven { any

ters. ~
And the man out aide the rail forgot his
piece and went back 10 his crippled wife
aud II motherless children, and sent a
special delivery note to his cbildless
mother at the hospital saying that he
could not assist her.

UP TO DATE.
Voting Lists Now Subject to
Daily Revision.
Registration Commissioners Have
Developed Simple System.
Voters Must Pay Their Taxes Four
Days Before Election.

There is q lot more work TO do in the
office Of the Board of Canvsssers and Reg
istration. The new assessment list has
been secured from the tax office, and it
contains 10, 497 names, which must be all
gone over and compared with the %, 0c0
names on the voting list and the neces-
sary transfers made back and forth be-
tween the property and registry list.
Then by Thursday, November 21, four
week days previous to the city election,
the time limit for the paymnt of taxes will
be up and then another list will 20 from
the city treasury TO the registration office,
containing the names OF those among the
19, 497 who have paid their taxes and are
qualified TO vote. This means another
comparison and more revision, SO that
the voting lists may be ready for the vot-
ing booth officials on Tuesday, Novem-
ber %.
Already AS changes have been made in
the lists since the final canvas previous
to the special election, last Wednesday.
Hereafter il is the intention of the COM
missioners TO have the lists at all time
right up TO date. This will be accomplished
by revision day by day, according TO the
information taken from the city record
er's Office relative 10 the transfer OF prop
erty; from the death lists, from the offices
OF the treasurer and assessors and the
verified personal reports OF removals.
PAYMENT OF TAXES.
To facilitate matters for the tax payers
who have from October TO October II
to settle their debts with the city before
being classed as deIinquents, City Treas
urer Granger has given notice that in
formation relative To interest or any OF her
matter will be cheertully given when
ever called for. In response to this there
is an immense mail for this department
daily, containing questions OF all sorts,
most OF them TO the point and some of
them altogether irrelevant. There are
comparatively few who inquire in person
and the postoffice has become the most
popular medium for transscting local
business with the city. The payments
are largely MADE by enclosed checks
nowadays, and that is as II should be,
from the treasurer's point of view. The
taxpayer with roll OF bills and lot OF
coin standing at the counter requires
more time and is ont OF date.
A sample OF the letter which satisfac-
torily answers most of the reasonable re-
quests for informstion is as follows
PROVIDENCE, Sept. ~, 1895.
DEAR SIR:-The city TAX for the year
1896, due October !, 1896, assessed against
Adolphus Aquishbox, amounts TO s27. 10.

annum from October /. 1895, will be ad
ded ii not paid on or before October u,
1895.
Please return this notice when payment
is made. Very respectfully,
ID. L. ID. GRANGER,
City Treasurer.
And all these answers are accompanied
by the following warning:
'The sending of this notice Is not re-
quired by law and the validity OF the tax
and of the charge for interest, IL any
thereon, is in no way dependent upon
Its receipt"
