The people who supported churches
three quarters Of a century ago appear
TO have been a good deal more liberal
than those Of the present day. What
would the good people of this town think
of a church society that would let part of
its premises for the storage of MERIDIAN
disc, the greater portion OF which was
whiskey? The very suggestion of such a
thing would cause a scandal that would
not be forgotten for years. But the peo-
pie who fiourishei in 1926 were not so
sqreamish. They saw nothing improper
in adding to the church society's income
by letting part Of the church property
for storage purp SEES. Thus it happened
that in the big fire of May % in that year
which destroyed many buildings on both
sides Of Westminster street, one hundred
bales cotton and three hundred barrels Of
whiskey were burned. This cotton and
whiskey were stored in the basement Of
the Universalist chapel, and, with that
structure, went up in smoke.

LIVE FISH TX HER STOMACH
After Suffering Ten Years She Managed To
lie Rid of 1t.

Mrs. John Davis Of Scranton, Pa,
the other evening elected from her
stomach a living fish. 1t was perfectly
formed and was seven inches long and
az inch and a half broad.
Mrs. Davis 10 81 years old, and has
only been in America three months,
coming hero with her husband aud FIVE
children from Swansea. Wales. She had
long been a suffer from sickness at
her home in Walls, End the cause not
being fathomod by the physicians it was
felt that q change Of climate would
prove beneficial. lie. sickness covered a
period of ten years. Mrs. Davis had
been unable TO cat any solid food and
her only nouIishmc3t has been milk
and wine.
Thursday evening, about G o'clock.
an unusual and severe and painful
sickness suddenly came upon her, and
before n physician arrived Mrs. Davis
was taken with violent vomiting, al
most TO strangulation. There were sew
eral violent elections Of liquid, and
then followed the live fish.
The fish was perfectly formed, and
was complete 20 tail and fins. 1t was
very weak, however. and moved feobly
when placed in water. How tho fish
came into the system of Mrs. Davis is
unknown and can DO explained in no
other way than that she drank ii with
water homo years ago. /.
As soon as The fish had been elected
and the weakness caused by the violent
etfcrt in relieving her Of it had passed
away, Mrs, Davis began TO feel better
and rejoiced with her friends that at
last she was rid Of the trouble that had
made life so miserable TO her. This
morning she was greatly improved i'm
spirits and health. and with tho ability
to take and retain substantial food her
complete recovery is expected. --
Tho FISH has shrunk somewhat since
Thursday night. 1t is white. though
more of a cream color now than when
il first came to Wow. The tail was un.
usually long, and was tapped with
much energy. It will be put in alcohol
and preserved. Philadelphia Press

When Tom Atwood squatted on the
abandoned Hoyle burial lot at the corner
of Broad and Moore streets and began the
construction OF his funny little green
house, the residents In that section OF the
city were very wroth. Since then, how
ever, their feelings of resentment have
softencd considerably. Misfortunes have
overtaken Tom, who now languishes In
an insane asylum, while the structure
which aroused SO much anger Is fast fall
ing to pieces.
Its d~isintegration would not be so rapid
as 1t is, however, were it not for the
pranks of the youths of that neighbor-
hood, who, tits said, now amuse them
selves by tearing of pieces o, the frail
structure which the unfortunate Tom
built in such q whimsical and fantastic
fashion. homage, ever thoughtless, does
not seem to take into account the afflic-
tion OF the eccentric builder, but enjoys
the work Of pulling down what he so
erratically erected.

The other day the -Gossiper in the
course Of his daily chat referred to the
fact that when the Boston d Providence
railroad was first projected it was the
intention OF the promoters OF the enter
prise to use horse and not steam pow er
on that line. An old citizen OF Provi-
dence now wants know II it is not a fact
that even when the road was built horses
were used to draw the cars and that
they we're employed for a number OF
years to furnish power. II is a fact
that the first train out of Providence
on this read was drawn as far as the
viaduct at Canton by horses, bat this
was not because 1t had been intended
TO use horses on the route. On the con
trary. their employment was simply an
expedient to fill In a gap, a mere make
shift in fact. A locomotive had been
ordered in Philadelphia and 1t was expect.
ed it would be ready for the opening OF
the road. This occurred on the I'd of
June, 1885, but the locomotive had not
come to hand SO horses were used tempo
rarily TO draw the trains.

is simply a notification to the gang, of

while the boat is stul down the bay gives
them time to get to the wharf as early

Years ago, in the stage coach days.
similar signals used to be heard over this
town, but they served another purpose. At
that time travel from Boston TO New
York was by stage to Providence and
from here to New York by steamer, and
the same on tho return trip. The stage
coaches were housed in n stable that oc-
cupied the site of that OF Copeland at the
corner OF Meeting and BENEFIT streets.
When the steamer coming from New
York reached Fields Point she would
signal the number of passen gers she had
for Boston. Then all was hustle at the
stable. The number Of stage coaches re-
CURED were made ready and went rafting
down to the wharf, arriving there before
the steamer had been made fast and the
passengers were quickly aboard and on
their way to Boston. Those were the
days when by means Of frequent relays
of fresh horses along the road the trip to
Boston was made in five hours and on
some special occasions the time was cut
Gown to a little more than four hours.
