The LOCALIZED SALOON.
A CORRESPONDENT WRITES ON
THEALL ABSORBING QUESTION.


Editor Erentng Tribune:
A mild ha-ha will break out every time
that the speech of the Cambridge advocate
OF no-lioense and increased taxes for Paw
tucket Is perused. The idea of taking
periods of 10 years, and arguing that the
increase OF high school pupils In 1886 over
the number In 1875 and that of 1896 over
the number in 1886 proves that no-licenfe in
1895 caused greater attendance of school
children than there would have been under
license Is ridiculous, and 1t is on q par
with everything held up as incontestible
facts by the no-license people who do not
pay out taxes. What credit Is nature to
have? None. / take 1t that the law of
nature that as the years roll by and the
children's children marry that the popu-
lation must increase.
Whether license or no-license prevails
la any community additional school ac-
commodations are called for every year,
and as the lower grade schools are In
creased and the children are promoted the
high schools become overcrowded and
ether accommodations must be furnished.
That IL just why Cambridge had larger
high school CLASSES In 1895 than in 1885.
Providence has license system and would
not 60 back TO the folly of Do-license.
And that city will more than double It's
high school accommodations this year,
and before the year closes will put c6O0, 900
into primary, intermediate and grammar
schools. There IL not one line of argu-
ment about the Increase Of street build |
ings, valuation Of property, erection of |
dwellings and savings bank deposits pre- |
cate which cannot be answered by Just |
the same facts here, right In Pawtuckst.
Look at our big business blocks, zee how |
our residential districts have grown and |
blossorned like beautiful gardens. Sec
how all these improvements have increased |
the valuation of our city. See how busi-
ness Of every kind has prospered In tho
same measure that it has In other cities
and states.
With the cunning which seems inborn
in the no-license advocates and with the
spirit OF misrepresentation which pervades
everything they do, no reference whatever
In made by them to tho increased tax rata
In Cambridge since 1875. No reference II
mado to. the army Of drunkards which
reels I'm from Boston. No mention is madc |
Of the immense liquor traffic which the
liquor men of Boston have with the resi-
dents of Cambridge.
Pawtucket taxpayers are ssked to abol-
ish license, TO do away with the license
lees, and to trust to speak -easies, kitcllcn-
bars and tho big business which Provl-
iencc liquor dealers will do with Paw
tuckct. The result 10 plain. II cannot be
hidden under the glamour Of alleged pro-
libition. The no-license man viii have
he fun and tho taxpayers will have to pay
or the music.
Business is business, evcrytime. 1t re-
mains for the taxpayers to cast an inteili-
'cnt vote. IL they follow the no-licenss
cad they must not blame Themselves for
that will surely result. TAXPAYER.

Entertaining and Instructive Paper on the
Good That Resulted From the yislt.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Business Mems Association was held at
the Music Hall assembly rooms last even
ing, and fully one hundred members were
in attendance, the attraction doubtless
being the address delivered by Hon. John
C.WYman on the"visit of the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery of Boston to London" I"
President Gof called the meeting to or
der after the service OF the collation., and
Secretary James L. jerks read the minutes

The President then announced that there
was NO regular business to be transacted,
and the members OF the association would
have the pleasure of listening to Mr..
Wymar.
Ths speaker Of the evening recsived a
hearty reception, and gave Characteristic
address. The first portion Of the address,
which was very interesting and instruc-
tive a. well, was Gevoted to brief history
Of the two organizations, and the re-
msinder to the experiences of the party
abroad and IN conclusion thespeaker gave
few pointed ideas on arbitration, and the
sympsthies Of the United States. people
toward Cubs and Greece. %

chief article of trade in London, and many
merchants came to that city TO purchase

robbers, and merchants were robbed daily

London. The trouble became so serious
that the better class of citizens banded
themselves together for the protection of
the merchants. The principal privilege
was that the members of the body could

Mrs Frank Martin and Family
PartOOk Of Corned Beef.
Later ia the Night All We're In a
Critical Condition.
Prompt Action By Or. MeNaiIy Saved Their
lves-Ia Comfortable cenditiea Today.

The family of Mrs. Frank Martin, re-
siding at ia Watson street, Central Falls,
had narrow escape from poisoning last
evening. The family consists of the
mother, Mrs. Frank Martin and i've chill
dren, the youngest being an infant. Only
the fortunate arrival of physician In the
nick of time saved the lives of the whole
family. AS 1t Is the mother and youngest
child are In precarious condition, and 1t
win be some time before they are fully
recovered from the effects of their sudden
Illness.
The supper, prepared by Mrs. Martin,
consisted Of boiled corn beef and cabbage,
which was at the time thoroughly enjoyed
BY the family.
Tho family retired at the usual hour, but
were awakened about midnight suffering
from intense pain. Mrs. Martin and the
infant seemed to be suffering the most At
hrst the members Of the family thought 1t
was simple case Of cramps which would
pass away In time. Remedies, such az are
kept In all households, were taken, but no
apparent relief was experienced. On the
contrary the pains grew more severe.
About 2 O'Clock all the members of the
family were Affected and In terrible pain.
The whole family were seized with vomit-
ing and were In Q pitabIs condition. DR..
McNally wa summoned, and responded
immediately ~ It turned out Il was well

Upon his arrival DR.. McNally set to work
with the stomach pump, and immediate
relief followed. The doctor said TINT II he
had been ten minutes later nothing could
have saved Mrs. Martin and the younger
child.

A BUNCH OF KEYS.

Hoyt's Amusing Farce Comedy Given Bes
fore Very Large Audience Last Night
The attraction at the Pawtucket Opera
House last night was the ever green farce
comedy, "a Bunch OF Keys,v and it
proved az amusing and attractive ~ ever.
The audience was kept I'm continual roar
OF laughter by the amusing work Of the
clevcr company OF comedians with which
Miss Bothner has surrounded herself.
Some liberties have been taken with the
original work of Hoyt, but this adds Z va
riety to the production, and gives oppor-
tunities for moro fun making. The story
ID too familiar to bear repetition, and every
theatre goer has at some time or other Wit
nessed the farce.
The three acts Of the play are simply cp.
portunities for singing, dancing, specially
work and all kinds of fun, and in thesa
tiiasa He company ars Z csrtanax ysry
capable.
Miss Ada Bothner is as chic ana sportive
as ever, and as usual found immediate
favor with the audience. George r.. HAD
as Snaggs, and b. Dillon as Grimes were
excellent. The dancing Of Gsrtrude
Barnee was very clever, and the vocal tall
ent Of the Misses Vaughn and varse is OF
no mean order.
The remaining members Of the company
contribute their full share to the humcr-
fabrication of the comedy. A visit to
"A Bunch Of Keys" Is cheerfully recon-
mended To anyone suffering from that
tired feeling. The trouble may be trars-
ferred to aching sides, however.
Manager Spitz desires to announce that
he has made arrangements for special
wire to the Opera House, and on Wedncs-
day evening the election returns viii be-
read from the stage.

o'clock, at the conclusion of Mrs Bron-
sons quadrille, that the regular supper
began. This was served at small tables
in the winter garden, but this place would
have never been recognized by those ia
miliar with it. More than 100 tables had
all passed through the hands of the
florist and were so hidden by his art as
to have lost all resemblance to bits of
furniture.
American Beauty roses and white
lilacs were banked so high that the
guests seemed to eat from the tops of
flower beds. Beyond the tables and be-
tween the guests, so as to almost hide
them from each other, were decorations
OF spring flowers-tulips, lilacs and rare
blossoms-to make the place bower of
beauty and fragrance. The costumes of
the eight hundred or more guests were
exquisite in the extreme and made a
picture of rare beauty.
