DETERMINED TO RESIGN.
CAPT. NICKERSON WILL REMOVE
TO THE GOLDEN STATE.
Will Leave Early In May to Enter Iato
Busiaess For Himself at Alhaubra.

Capt. James p. Nickerson has decided
that he will not alter his determination to
resign from the Pswtucket Police Depart
ment. In an intervisw this morning Capt.
Nickerson said In substance that his wife
desired very much to see him, and in her
present state of health 1t would be unwise
for her to return to Pawtucket. The Cap
tain has therefore decided that the best
plan would be for him to Join her at Al
hambra, Cal.
That Capt. Nickerson intends to do Just
what he says, is made evident by the fact
that he Is negotiating for the sale OF his
property in this city. II his present plans
are carried out Capt. Nickerson will leave
fIr California ON May /. 1t Is his intention
to purchase a house in Alhambra and To-
cate there permanently, and engage In the
cigar business, or rather be tobacconist.
After 20 years of service Capt. Nickerson
will settle down to lead a quiet life far
away from the scenes and friends of the
past. Capt. Nickerson said that there was
no reason other than this for his resigna-
ton, his relations with the department
were pleasant, and had 1t not been for the
fact that 1t was necessary for his wife to
live in California he would not have made
the change. "Although l have had my
eye on California as a place Of residence
for some time," remarked the Captain.
Again the Captain said he would not
change his mind regarding his resigua-
tion, although he appreciated the kind
words of the Mayor regarding his services

BUSINESS IS PICKING UP.
THE OUTLOOK FOR WOOLEN MILL
OPERA TIVES VERY FAVORABLE.


A careful inquiry has been made In busi-
ness circles In this state for the purpose OF
des sermining the state OF trade as compared
with that which existed November I, 1896,
and espe>- -ially with reference to the pro-
posed tarih' legislation. lsa
The wooden n, ills are employing between
5000 and 6OOO moe hands now than in
November, and the manufacturers are feel
ing much encouraged, The orders re-
ceived this week have beer ahead OF any
week since the revival OF bSslness incl
dent to the election OF Mckinley.
The cotton manufacturers are employ
ing as many hands as in November, but
they are running on two-thirds time.
Business has not improved as had been
anticipated under the agreement to curtail
production, and representative of one OF
the two largest houses in the State says
that unless the condition of the market
improves further curtailment must
necessarily be made.
All the retail trades are doing much bet
ter, and the merchants anticipate heavily
increased business in the summer and fall.
