II has been the custom of Mr.. Crawford for
the past six years to get tho sealers together

each year, and that day is during the season
when.clams are ripe.
An hour or twoiin the morning is devoted to
the exchange of ideas and promoting objects
that are for the best interests Of the associ
ates.
The peddlers come in for good share Of
the talk, for State Sealer Crawford exhibited
a sliding spring scale which he confscated
from pcddler from Providence who wander
ed into Pawtucket. The peddler could buy
and sell rags or anything else and make the
scale vary from one TO four pounds.
City Sealer sherman told how he was
buncoed out OF eight cents worth of peaches
by n peddler. the latter using skin" tin
quart measure. Mr.. Sherman had no idea
that peddler would undertake. to "do" him.
Deputy Sealcr Roberts of Cambridge sent n
letter of regret on an ordinary light of
window glass, the writing being done with n
chemical that he had prepared to seal glass
milk jars with. There was some talk OF hav-
ing petter legislation on skin measures and
weights and to provide that it shall be prima

with ''skn" measures in his possession.
II was not all talk. for Mr.. Crawford had a

Shady Reasons for Or
ganizing Club.
The Wives of FairlaWn are
in Despair.
No Police Interference With HauntS
of Vice.

A strange condition OF affairs exists in Fair
lawn. one of the RAPIDLY growing districts of
Pawtucket. Lager and whiskey are sold
there in unlicensed places ON Sundays and
throughout the week. and for some reason or
other the police have been unable TO raid the
places suspected.
In this section of the city, which Is largely
populated, there is not a licensed saloon, but
the people can procure all the drink they de-
sire ON any day in the week. How long this
will continue is not known, for the raids made
by the police seem to be- Intellectual.
There are several lStchen barrooms. and
there are disorderly houses, one of which has
n license 10 sell spirituous liquors, but not in
Pawtucket. though portion Of the building
stands WITHIN the Pawtucket line.
In speaking with a member OF the Fairlawn
Club yesterday, Post reporter learned that
one of the reasons why the club was started Is
because the disorderly houses charge ten cents
for drink of lager. This price many of tho
men residing in .Farlawn considered exor.
bitant, so several of them banded together
and formed u club, where they could secure
all the drinks they wanted at current rates.
Another reason why they objected to giving
their custom TO the disorderly places was be'
cause tho lady boarders expected the custom
ers to treat thereby adding TO the cost of the
drinks.
The membership OF the club rapidly in
creased, and from a financial standpoint 1t
was success, until some of the members
began to get drunk Then the place was raid
ed, but when the officers called il was at n
time of the day when but few Of the members
were present. The liquors and ale were seized
and taken to the police station, but as the
authorities lost the case the liquids had to be
returned
Mayor Davis admits now that a mistake had
been made, for instead of making liquor
| raid the representatives of the club should
have been prosecuted on the charge Of main
| tanning nuisance.
Still the other places ply tteir trade and
ore never raided at least there is no record
| of any raid being success which might have
| been made secretly.
1t is said that place on Mineral Spring
| avenue was raded few weeks ago, but the
| report was denied by the authorities.
| Meanwhile, the wives and mothers in Fair
| lawn are complaining Of the laxIty of the
| police force Some think ii strange that
| officers who can ferret out certain criminals,
| and finally entangle thom in the meshes oi
| tho law. cannot secure evidence which would
| enable them to close up places where the law
| Is openly violated

dence last evening Two physicians

The cause of Mr.. Adams close call TO
sNnother world was glass Of soda. Shortly
before going to the depot bo entered a
drug store and purchased glass OF soda.
The syrup used was sirsapnrilla
While drinking the mixture, Mr. Adams
noticed it had IA peculiar taste and un-
wisely. instead of refusing the drink, he
decided TO gulp it down and say nothing
about it to the attendant.
Mr.. Adams hurried 90 the depot and al
most Immediately after entering the car
no had violent attack of vomiting. Ibis
continued almost up TO the time the train
arrived at Atteboro.

before tney deemed MIN out OF danger.
This morning. DIR. Holden, who is at
tending the man. said he did not appre
hend serious result Mr.. Adams is
naturally in weak condition and is not
inclined to say much about the matter.
A SON OF his went 10 Providence this
morning to demand on explanation of the
cause of the unfortunate affair from the
druggist and until his return Mr. Adams
did not care To mention. for publication,
the store at which he purchased the drink.
In the opinion OF DIR. Holden, Mr..
Adams was given the drsgs OF the syrup.
Either the oil OF wintergreen used had
settled pretty strongly at the bottom of
