The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-08-12

A very curious oommemoration fete
takes place each year at Fahrwangen In
Switzerland.
During the war of Wilmergen, in the
year 17i2, the old Baron OF Hallwyl, not
satisfied as to the strength and gallantry
of his knights, who were fighting against
the forces of the Bern government, or
ganized battalion of women from the
Seethal and led them to the front as auxil-
iaries, where they fought with the greatest
valor and brought the war to q successful
issue.
On their return the ba-on, in order to
commemorate their doughty deeds, insti-
tuted n Meitlisuntig-that Is, u Maiden
Sunday"
On this day the women rule the roost
md the men have to content themselves
with second place.
While the men are drinking their wine
the women go round to choose "cava-
lier." In no case Is the man chosen by
one OF tho fair masters Of tho day permit
ted to refuse to act as cavalier, and when
dancing begins the women, and not the
men, have the right to engage partners. =

MISS RAY WAS OVERCOME
WHILE ATTENDING THE FUNERAL
OF HENRY READ AT OAKLAND.
The Horrible Double Murder at North Adams
Has Completely Frustrated Her.

Oakland. Me-, Aug. 12.-Even while
the funeral knen is sounding over the
remains Of Henry Reed and his sister,
Blanche Reed, of the North Adams
(Mass) tragedy, Miss Jennie Ray, the
.afiianced wife of Reed, is overcome with
q sickness which the attending physi-
clan has grave fears will terminate Ia
lung fever. Miss Rays constitution has
not been a strong one fora "a long time, and
the great shock, this horrible double
murder, has completely prostrated her.
Miss Ray Is at the home Of her sister
.at Oakland. three miles west OF the VIII
lage. her mother and father being in at
tendance. In an interview Miss Ray re-
ferred to the existing mystery. express
ing hope OF the detection OF the cuIprit.
She is firm believer that theft was the
object which actuated the deed. In
speaking Of Henry Reed she said that
probably the last communication ever
addressed by him was in her possession.
Extracts from the letter mention the
fact that a mortgage which was made
out In her name and due the last OF july
had not been paid, and the de,inquency
of the party would no longer be coun-
tenanced, foreclosure being Mr.. Reeds
intent at once. He also wrote of n GER
tain party who had been to him to bor-
row a certain sum of money, and that
the request was refused. The question
was asked II Miss Ray had the least idea
that either OF these parties would have
had enough offense to have perpc ira ted
the double murder, and to 1t she replied
that, II cannot tell their feelings, but do
not think any one would have teen
enough enraged for this"

Puritan Sunday In Toronto.

A correspondent of The Christian
Advocate says Of Toronto: ''The law
disqualifies a saloon keeper for member
ship in the city council. The saloons
and, curiously enough, there are just az
many saloons as churches-200-are
under rigid oversight and are closed
every night at II O'Clock and all day
Sunday. There are no Sunday newspa-
pers, and the press generally is strongly
on the side of. law, order and decency.
The streets are clean, fact which is
not without it's bearings upon clean
morals. There is an utter absence of
drunkenness and of aimless loafing, and
the police force is largely composed Of
temperance men, who have no SYM
pathy with the demoralizing agency Of
the saloon"
