Large Attachment Made.

Lesser Bros, a big clothing concern of p
and 30 West Fourth street, New York City,
has made an assignment for the benefit OF its
creditors, and has sold its entire stock, about
$4,000 worth in all, to the Misfit Clothing
Parlors of this city. There are "a number of
the creditors Of the concern, living in different
New York cities, who believe that this is not
right, and as result the whole stock which
has already been delivered in this city. was
attached yesterday ON writ for 5000.
The writ was issued by the Supreme Court
Of this State and was served yesterday after
noon by Deputy Sheriff Benjamin II. Child.
Henry Newman and others are the creditors
named i'm the writ of attachment.
The Misit Parlors have the stock and are
puzzled just now, what TO do with it. Tho
creditors say that the Pawtuclxct concern has
no right 10 dispose of the goods and the Misfit
people have consulted their attorney TO ascer-
tain what right the law gives them in the
matter. It is believed that a satisfactory ar
rangement will be made between the credi-
tors and the local firm whereby the clothing
may be sold.-Pawtucket Times, Oct. 20.

ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION.
Republicans May Hold Big One 10 Cele-
brate McKinley's Victory.

The members of the Republican State
central committee are now considering
tho adivsability Of holding a jollifcstion
in honor OF the victory of Mckinley. AL
though IL has not been den6nite'.y decid-
ed on yet, ii Is more than probable that
such an event will be held and that IL
Will take the form of a street demon
strst'on that Will even surpass in size
and brilliancy that held In this city last
Saturday as the vote cast for the Repub-
lican candidates in this State on Tuesday
was sufficiently large to have q tendency
to arouse great deal of enthusiastic sup
port for such q project.
Although little has been said in rela-
tion to this post-election demonstration
several prominent Repu publicans have been
approached by members OF the executive
committee and from what has been said
thsy have been lod to infer thar such
a celebration of the big victory was one
Of the prot bilities of the near future.

MIsFIT PARLORs ATTACHED.
Said to BE Involved in Defunct Ne W
York Concern.

1t is rumored that the creditors of Lesser
Bros, defunct wholesale clothing house of
New York, have placed an attachment upon
the Misfit Parlors, but no such attachment has
been recorded at the city hall.
From what can be ascertained, il appears
that the manager of tho Pawtucket branch of
the house bought bill of goods from Lesser
Bros short time ago, and the day alter the
sale was made Lesser Bros. made an assign
ment with liabilities of over s2OO,OOl The
creditors of the dcfunct firm claim that be-
fore doing so they shipped almost their entire
stock to the Misfit Parlors of this city, hence
the attachment. The latter firm has been
dong business in this city and Pawtuclket for
many years, and the rumor that il was finan-
cially embarrassed was great surprise TO the
business men OF the city.-Providcnce Tele-

An Irish thatched roof on the summer
house on the lawn of Mr.. T.. w. Baxter's
residence on Lippitt street, is the only
one OF its kind in this State. 1t was built
some time ago for the purpose of giving
MIR. Baxter's daug hter, Pauline, a pleas
ant surprise on her return from a tour
with q tnestrical company of which she
was q member. The house Is large and
was designed by Mr.. Baxter. 1t is built
of live cedar trees, and much difficulty
was experienced in getting trees exactly
suited to this purpose. The work of con-
tructing 1t was done by Captain Thomas
fitzgerald from Ireland, W bile the thatch-
ing was the work of Patrick Cashmsn,
who has since passed away. There are
over four tons of straw In the roof,
which IL absolutely water proof. 1t is
constructor so that the thatching ex-
tends down and teyond the edge so that

In these days when reports OF Turkish
outrsges. on. Armenians are frequent. the
expression the "Unspeakable Turk" is
frequently heard. This pupgent express
sion is generally credited to Gladstone,
but as Q matter Of fact It originated with
Carlyle. II was irst used in a.letter to
meeting at St.James Hall, London, in 1876.
called TO discuss the Eastarn question and
the part that England should take in the
trouble between Russia and Turkey.
Carlyle wrote: "The Unspeakable Turk
should be Immediately struck out OF the
question, and the country.'be left to honest
European guidance" Mr.. Gladstone re-
garded the Characterization of the Turk
as very happy, afterwards used the ex-
preston in q public speech, and thus
came the common impression that he was
its author.

About Early Presidential
InauguratjOnS.
Cases Where Vice-President
Was First Sworn In.
Mr.. Bakers Thatched Roof Only
One Of It's Kind in the State.

Now that the presidential election Is
over, some citizens have turned their at
tentlon to the matter OF the Inauguration
of the new administration. This Is shown
by the question asked the Gossiper by a
reader who wants to know whether or
not it IL fact as he has recently heard
stated that on some occasions the Vice
President has been sworn into office be-
fore the President. Su b a thing has
occurred more than once in the history
OF the country. The case with John
Adams, who took the oath aud became
President OF the Senate and Vice-Presi-
dent of the Uniteo States nearly month
before WashIngton's first Inauguration; IL
was the case With Millard Fillmore who,
1t Ia said, took the oath on Sunday, March
4,faliing on that day of the week in 1S49.
while Taylor, the President-elect, being a
rigid Sabbatarisn, did not permit himself
TO De sworn until Monday. 1t is.said that
in 1877, when March again fell on Sun
day, Wheeler, the Vice President elect,
having religious scrupIes, put on the
matter until Monday. or these cases. how
ever, the most peculiar was that OF 1889,
when, the government having just been
put IN operation, presented the curious
spectacle of a Vice President without a
President. At the time, however. the mat
ter seems to nave attracted little atten-
tion or remark, and Is now remem bered
only as historical curio.
