Prof. Garriott claims for Chicago the
wal finest October since 1879. According
to him this city has enjoyed ideal
weather, while the west has been at
fected with droughts and the Atlantic
seaboard has been swept by storms.
The rainfall locally, says the Chicago
Chronicle, has been record-breaker
in its small amount. The professor says
that, although only .1s of an inch Of
water came from the sky, the farmers
in the vicinity had no reason to COM
plain. Other low marks for rainfall
during the month of October in the
past, as registered in the weather Office,
are: October, 1891, SO inch; October,
1885, 81 inch. The montho of the golden
leaf holds the rain record for 1888. The
instruments that month registered 7.38
inches Of rain. The temperature for the
mouth just ended has been six degrees
above normal. The lowest mark
reached was 3s degrees above zero.

Three disintcrcstcd persons, namely, Mr.

the decision. After good many names
had been put aside as quite impossible
there was list of $50 which were written
In book and handed To the judges, the
book bearing nothing but the suggested
title with no names addresses or marks
Of Identification Of any kind. The judges
devoted several hours to examining the
list There were no end of "Eurekas'
and "None Such, and Sunshine" " and
the like. And of dozen names finally
selected for favorable consideration many
had been duplicated so that had ono of
them been chosen it would have been a
case of awarding the prize 20 the first pro-
poser. But there was but one Presto, y
and, as IL appeared. that was the only
name that all thciudgcs had i'm their respec-
tive preferred lists. To the judges there was
little question of choice when that name
bobbed up near the last OF the nearly 6O0
submitted for examination. so the new
soap Is called Presto" Mr.. Shepard
feels that he Is fortunate In securing from
tbs competition name that Is as re-
markable as his new soap.

Evidently there are IA number of evil
minded persons in Cranston who have
liking TO see the fire companies of the
town i'm active service. These persons are
apparently familiar with the habits OF the
police and seem TO want to burn public
property. The knightsville school house
was set on fire and evidences were found
in the new house being built on Cranston
street 10y Mr. Cahoone, that 1t too, was
intended for tire flames. Another unsuc-
cessful attempt has been made which per-
haps had better be called successful at
tempt to scare, rather than an unsueeess-
full attempt to burn.
Az the daughter of Mr.. John McCor-
mick, janitUr of the Cranston school, was
inspecting tho girls outbuildings pre-
vious To locking them, In the dusk of the
evening, she discovered q pile of straw
and paper on the floor of the middle of
the three closets. The young woman
threw the straw out ON the lot and locked
the gate. An athletic person can climb
over this gate and thus gain entrance to
any of tho three clio sets. When the
same young woman unlocked the gate the
following morning she saw the straw and
paper In about the same place from
which she had removed it the night be-
fore. Why did the person not carry out
the game he begang There are two
theories, one is that he was frightened
away the other Is that he has accom-
plished all he wished TO do, viz, cause a
scare.
The people. however, are not appreciat-
ing these jokes They have made tlmid
women and children more nervous, and
men TO grind their teeth in rage. The
policemen are vigilent but lack tangible
evidence.

Repudiated Politicians.
The alleged good government party Is
nothing but coterie of repudiated poll
ticians, alleged reformers and party rene
gades. The leader, who Processes to have
tho good of the public lying SO closely to
III
his services as a. willing sacrifice for pub.
lie veal, is ingeniously paving the way
for his own election as superintendent OF
the public schools and to the securing OF
the desirable salary which attaches to
that Office. He Is practically under i'm
parchment today for misrepresenting the
school committee of which he Is mem
bsr. and Mt the next meeting Of that body
must either deny that which Is imputed
to him, or discredit the newspaper, to
the representative of which he gave an
interview. Thus far he has not deemed
it cxpcdient To correct the interviewer and
! the charge publicly made against him
stands wholly unanswered.
Shoulder to shoulder with him stands
the immaculate l.. j. Mccarthy, who
prates about the iniquities of the fran
chise acts; but who forgets to inform his
auditors that the franchises Were asked for
by the City Council; that Democratic
Mayor William X. Potter, accompanied
by such Democrats as Il. j. Mccarthy
and Edwin ID. McGuinness, appeared at
the State House as representatives OF the
City Council, and urged the passage of
the acts; that 20 Democratic mombers OF
the House of Representatives and every
Democrat in the. Senate voted for the
acts. MIR. McCxrthy also neplects to in
form his auditors that the transfer act of
which he complains never would have
been possibility but for the activity of
the Democratic delegates and that in the
passage of the original acts and that the
mischief having already been done the
transfer bill was the only relief which
could be offered to the public, for con-
tiact had been made between the city and
the corporation which secured Mr.. Nc
Carthy's franchise. On the passage of
the transfer bill party vote was not
polied.
