To the Hon. Mayor and Board Of Aldermen
of the town of Providence -
We, the undersigned merchants and
taxpayers, respectfully petition your
Hon. Body to rescind, or suspend the
enforcement of the ordinance against
the sale of merchandise on Sunday for
the ensuing winter. Our reasons for
asking for the suspension of the en-
forcement of this ordinance we will
state as follows:
We find that our business is not as
good as we have anticipated, and on
investigation, learn that the strict en-
forcement of the Sunday law is divert
ing from our town a large volume OF
trade which naturally belongs here
You are aware of the fact that the gov
eminent work now going on above
town is so far away that people there
employed can not get to town at nights,
and being required to work six days
every week, have no other time to do
their trading except on Sunday. mas

Schools Open.

The public schools opened for the fall
term Tuesday. After three months
of vacation, and recuperation from the
work of the past year, the pupils have
collected books and states, and prepared
for another wrestle with school work.
at school time Tuesday they came
trooping from all directions, to be grad
ed and classified, and started properly
upon their studies of the ensuing year.
Professor Moore was unable to give
the exact number of pupils who had
registered up to moo There are many
new ones, who have had to be graded,
and this took up much of the time in
the several departments. Then too,
there has been a change in the text books
used, to some extent, and this necessi-
tated considerable work on the parts Of
both pupils and teachers. Accordingly
not much work was accomplished today,
the preliminary work of classification
and preparation occupying most of the
time.
AS usual, the larger number of en-
frances is in the primary department.,
and the wisdom Of providing two school
rooms was evident. In this way, all of
the youngsters who enter public schools
for the first time can be looked out for,
and there is not the crowding which
must necessarily exist with but the one
department.
The building and grounds are in the
best of condition, scrupulously clean and
neat, and all of the requisites for a sue
cessful school year have been provided.
Professor Moore and his corps of teach
ers have entered heartily into the work,
and'everything will be in smooth running
order in a day or SO, as soon as the
necessary preliminaries are arranged.

not to do so by the rule of the comfy.

When the receivers answer the charges,

it will occur cannot be known"

AND if the governor of Texas really
proposes to pull off that prize fight, it
would be a good idea for him to begin to
talk a little more freely to the news
papers, and swing his arms above his
head emphatically the while. This
lethargic quiet is suspicious.
The Northern Pacific has fallen short
1000 cars of wheat on the traffic this
year, compared with last year, st this
season. Tue Great Northern has hauled
one-third less grain for the season thus
far. General Traffic Manager Hannaford,
Of the Northern Pacific, says this is an
indication that the farmers are in a posi-
ton to hold on to their grain and are
waiting for a better market. In past
years they have rushed their grain to
market so as to get needed money.
They are stacking their grain this year.
The railroads are glad that the shipment
of grain will be distributed over a longer
period, as it will enable them to handle
it in better shape.
The report of the continually lessen
ing quantity of water in the Missouri
river is again being circulated, and
figures given to show redu ction in
quantity since 1878. At Bismarck, $4,000
cubic feet Of water pass between the
banks of the river every second, and
this, it is said is thirty per cent less than
in 1878. At this rate, it is calculated,
the river will net be with us ma ny more
years-only a hole in the ground where
once the Missouri flowed with it's muddy
and majestic sweep to join the Missis-
sippi 0 n its way to the gulf. Up to date
there has been no extraordinary alarm
over the prospect of an exhaustion of
the water supply, and it is thought that
with moderation in the use of water for
drinking purposes, the supply will hold
out for several reasons.
The first horse in the proceedings at
Seattle for the GUSHING of the Northern
Pacific receivers appears to be on the
receivers. At least Judge Gilbert and
Hanford have decided that Judge
Jenkins had no jurisdiction to appoint
them. This adds another tangle to the
situation, the grand Acknowledgement to
com bye and bye. AS summarized by
Counsel Bum of the Northern Pacific,
"the opinion held that the circuit court
for the eastern district of Wisconsin had
jurisdiction, but as there is no railroad
of the Northern Pacific now within the
eastern district of Wisconsin the ordin-
airy rule Of comfy would not apply to
the case. 1t was held that receivers

At the Atheneum Tuesday night to a con

tic club presented the three act play,
Nevada" The club had rehearsed but
a little over a week prior to the play,
and considering all the circumstances
gave a very satisfactory performance,
and the audience seemed pleased with
the presentation, as essayed by the COM
pany. There we're of course, some feat
ures which would have been improved by
longer and closer application and re-
hearsal, but altogether, the several parts
were we'll taken, and the characters ap-
preciated by those who portrayed them.
AS Nevada, D. w. Clark found favor
with the audience and portrayed we'll the
crazed miner, who had lost all in search
of gold, but was finally restored to health.
and happiness upon It's discovery. Geo.
Hughes, as Tom Carew, is deserving of
great credit for the msnnerl in which his
part was taken, it being probably the
most difficult in the cast. Captain Gregg
was natural end typical mountain charac-
ter, in his presentation of Vermont, and
Mrs. Hughes made a pleasing Agnes
Fairlee: with a winning stage presence,
and a clear conception of her part. Miss
Edith Winchester was likewise a charm
ing Moselle, and her Characterization Of
the frank. imnl1laiva and free heartad
child of, the mining camp was very
good indeed, while Miss Fannie Dunn,
as Mother Merton was natural and pleas
ing. w. W. Smith made an admirable
Silas Steele. and was successful indeed
in presenting the merits of Busted's
Balm, and Fred Conklin as Jerden the
detective acquitted himself very credit
ably. Harry Berry and Tom Poole
played Jube and Win-Kye to the evident
satisfaction of the audience, and the
latter was the recipient of a huge bou-
quet from a coterie of adnlres.
After the play, the members of the
company we're banqueted at Masonic
Hall, by the members of the O. E. s.
and a very pleasant hour spent in the
discussion of the tempting luncheon
which had been prepared by the ladies.
Mrs. E. H. Wilson thanked the members
of the company for their efforts, and
Captain Gregg responded briefly and
appropriately for the dramatic club.

JEFFERSON M. CLOUGH REFUSES A
TEMPTING OFFER FROM THE
CHINESE COVER INTENT.
His Health Was Too Poor to Permit At
tention to Business-A Great Suf-
ferer for Many Years, but
Has Now Recovered.

Springfield, Mass, Union: AS the result
of long and arduOuS attention to business
for many years, Jefferson NJ. Clough, now
OF BelchertOWn, Mass, who has just turned
is years, found himself disabled by mus
cular rheumatism two years and more ago.
and was obliged to relinquish the position
of general superintendent Of the Winches-
ter Repeating Arms company of New
Haven, Conn.,, where he had been employed
for eleven years at a salary OF ST, 1000 tor the
first few years OF his service, but which
was increased to $500 by the voluntary
action OF the company. Previous to his
service for the Winchester Repeating Arms
company he had filled the responsible posi-
ton of superintendent OF E. Remington &
Sons armory, at lion, N. y, for seventeen
years during which time large quantities of
arms were made for foreign governments,
as we'll as our own, neSides sewing ma
chimes INC typewriters-Mr. Clough having
perfected the first of the latter machines
that was exhibited. After leaving the Rem
ingtons and previous to making an engage
ment with the Winchester Arms company,
the secretary of the Chinese legation in
this country came to Belchertown and ne
gotiated with Mr.. Clough to go to China
and build arms for the Chinese govern
ment. but the long delay getting the an
swer from the Chinese decided him in ac-
cepting the offer to 60 to New Haven. 1t

pany that he visited the leading armories
in England, France and Germany in com
PAW with the vice president OF the com
pany, in order to learn whatever there
might be concerning new methods in the
manufacture of muSkets. 1t was after this
long term OF active labor as a business man
that he found himself incapacitated for
further service by the embargo which
rheumatism had laid upon him, and re-
signed his position more thar two years
ago and returned to Beichertown, where
he owned what was originally the PHELPS
farm, about three miles southeast of the
center of the town, in a retired spot where
he has 500 acres of land.
From this quiet home he began to seek a
remedy for the muscular rheumatism.
which was located largely in the muscles
of his shoulders, chest and back. He en-
ployed DR.. Holbrook of Palmer, and re-
ceived great benefit from his treatment for
a time, but was so anxious to gain faster
that he decided to seek another treatment.
and, being a man of means, did not spare
the cost, and was treated by baths at ceIe-
brated springs without receiving any ben
eft worth notice. He then tried Varions
remedies advertised for rheumatism with
out receiving any good effect. During the
summer of 1898 and the winter of 1894 Mr..
Clough was confined to his house in Belcher-
town, being unable to rise from his bed
without assistance, and suffering contin-
ually with acute pains and with no taste or
desire for food, nor was he able TO Obtain

JUDGE MCKENNA's DECISION MAY
PRECIPITATE A GENERAL
RATE WAR.

The New Zealand Insurance COMPANY
parted company with the Board of Fire
Underwriters of the Pacific at noon yes
terday because the compact refused to
grant Manager Hugh Craig's request to
employ salaried agents in Alameda and
Santa Clara.
AS matters now stand with regard to
insurance troubles the following COM
panies are out of the compact and are free
to make whatever rates they please

land, capital paid up 81, 100000 They
present a formidable array against the
boards position on rates, and are making
| things more exciting from day to day all
| over the Pacific Coast.
"But we are not out of the board for the
purpose of slashing rates" said Manager
Craig, after stepping from the president

what does that mean-to protect your
business?" was asked.
"TO meet cuts in rates as much as 40 so
or so per cent. If attacked we shall stand
by our patrons and protect the interests of
our shareholders. "
The Board of Underwriters held meet
ing yesterday and adopted a resolution ac-
ceptlng Mr.. Cralg's resignation. Another
resolution suspending rates everywhere
along the coast was presented and dis
cussed with animation. The house was
divided on the question. One party COM
planned that the board members are en-
gagged in a fight not advantageous to them
selves through the very nature of the
guerrilla contest The solid body of board
managers are necessarily fighting in the
open, while their opponents are under the
cover OF people who play one side against
the other to get reduced rates. 1t was
the resolution until Judge McKenna rem
ders decision in the injunction proceed
ings of the Continental Company against
the compact.
The prevailing belief among insurance
men is that if the injunction is continued
against the compact this resolution will be
adopted and general war in rates must
follow.
Rates are practically suspended in Los
Angeles by all companies, owing to the
disturbance caused by one city agent sell
ing his business to non-board company
In Alameda and Santa Clara counties,
where the New Zealand does an extensive
business, fierce rate war is expected to
take place that Craig's business may be cut
to pieces for his withdrawal from the COM
pact.

ROM ANCE OF THE old MILL.
A TRAGIC CHAPTER FROM THE
EARLY HISTORY OF MARIN
COUNTY.
THE TOUCHING STORY OF THE
RUINED LIFE OF OLD jim Bod
DEN, THE PIONEER.

Years before Mr.. Throgmorton ever OBJ
tanned possession of Mill Valley from the
original owners of the soil the old mill was
an object of attraction to those off for a
summer days outing. Picturesque in its
primitive architecture and an unmistak-
able relic of the past, it was always re-
garded as a structure with a history.
Strange as it may appear the narrative of
the old mill has never been told. Sketches
have been made of the heavy redwood
beams, the sloping roof, and the solid logs
that supported the Wheel which became a
wreck almost before the Oldest inhabitant
could recall its revolutions. 1t was lum-
ber-mill, and the logs, cut far up the
valley, were f1oated down the stream,
divided into planks and shipped from old
Sausalito by schooner to San Francisco.
Such was the practical side of the old MILL
but the romantic side began when James
Bodden, in 1850, bought out the original
protector, who was native OF Maine, the
land of lumber.
One fine morning in August Bodden was
seated on the banks of the Mill Valley
stream watching a few hundred feet of
sawed logs and sadly concluding that the
lumber business as conducted by him was
not going to be a remuneratlve occupation:
The cracking of dry brambles apprlsed
him OF the fact that some visitors were APP
preaching. Bodden slouched from the
shadows into the sunshine. An old-fash-

THE SAN RAFAEL ON THE DRYDOCK.
lSketched for the "CdU" By W. 4. Coultcr.l

steamer San Rafael from her floating con.
temporaries even before she picked herself
SO speedily from their company, so we'll is
she known as the greyhound and prettiest
thing on the bay But it is on the drv-
dock, when she is lifted clear from the
water, that her beauteous model can best
be seen and fully appreciated
Starting from the stem, the lines fall
clear away, gradually diverging till they
pass over the noble swell amidships to
come together again at the sternpost.
Then is learned the secret of the speed
that makes this sl500O0 boat the racer of
the bay craft.
The San Rafael is perfect model of the
old steamer Sausalito, burned at San
Quentin twelve or fourteen years ago.
They were constructed in New York by
Fletcher & Harrison, the noted boat build
ers, at an individual cost of $3.50, 900. and
were each 205.5 feet in length, 80 feet beam
and 9.S feet deep. The tonnage of the
vessels was about 400, and the San Rafael
carries a single-beam engine of $50 horse
power, with 50-inch cylinder and 11-foot
stroke.
The twin steamers literally took their
trial trips-though at different periods-on
freight train, being brought in sections
overland from New York, put together and
launched here.
Her master is Captain John T. Nc
Kenzie, one of the oldest steamboat men
on the coast, and in his hands this marine
beauty and bay racer is the matchIess
craft her designers intended.
