EXTRA POLICEMEN.
For the L. A. w. Meet 35, and for the
X. of II. 100.

At meeting of the Board of Public Safe
ty yesterday morning the superintendent OF
police was authorized to employ thirty-hve
extra policemen for the l.. A. w meet and
one hundred for the knights of Pythias en-
campment. 1t is probable the superintend-
ent will find need for more than this allow
ance, and it is his privilege to employ as
many more as needed. These special police
men will be appointed from the number of
applicants for regular positions on the. Pc.
lice force. They will be notified by mail OF
their appointment. 1t is estimated the cost
of employing these special policemen and
incidental expenses will be nearly $1,000. 1t
will be necessary to make a special appro-
priation for this expense, for the emergency
police fund amounts to only $780,
The executive committee of the knights
of Pythas encampment was given permits
sion by the board to erect a grand stand on
the Washington-street sidewalk of the
courthouse. The board ordered that during
both of the big gatherings the sidewalks
about the courthouse must be kept free Of
market stands.

CIGARS ON SUNDAY.
An Old Acton Custom VIII Be Broken
To-Day.


To-day cigars will be sold at Acton, for
the first time in the history of the Sundays
at that park, and the management is fairly
breathless pending the outcome. 1t seems
the contract with the hotel management
this year failed to prohibit the sale Of cigars
on Sunday, and the lessee now proposes to
exercise this right.
Acton Camp was at rest yesterday. Moth
ing disturbed the quiet except the play of
children or the click of the croquet balls.
A number of the cottagers went to the city
on business or to do shopping. The men
gathered in groups and read the papers or
discussed the war. President McKinley's
course was unanimously approved. The la
dies decorated the Woman's Home Mission
airy cottage for the evening reception, and
put their own homes in order for the large
number of guests that are expected to-day
The busiest place on the grounds was at
the hotel. A large number of meals were
served, while the house is almost full. A
large refreshment tent has been staked near
the front entrance. On Sundays soft drinks,
cigars, watermelons, popcorn, confectionery
and fruits of the season will be sold here
This will be appreciated by the strangers
who spend the day at the camp. The early
morning rains of yesterday so cooled the at
mosphere that wraps had to be worn.
Those who had their wheels enjoyed spin
around the grounds and over the country
roads The only excitement of the day was
the arrival and departure of the trains.
There are scores of children on the grounds,
and their ways of amusement are as enter
tanning to their elders as to themselves.
One little kindergarten child was heard to
gravely remark to a playmate over their
dolls. Why, do you know, when papa used
to come to Acton, a long time ago. there
would be fifty thousand people come on
Sundays" While such a crowd is hardly
expected to-day. yet ample preparations
were made for good attendance.
The Woman's Home Missionary cottage
presented a gay appearance in the evening
The porches were hung with Japanese lam
terms and the cottage was brilliantly lighted
Flags formed the principal part of the dec
orations Bowls and vases Of roses and for
est shrubbery frightened the rooms and
decked the piano. Lemonade cake and bon
hons were served by Misses Elizabeth
Stott, Gertrude Bonbrake Josephine Reyn-
olds and Jesanne Boilvin. The reception
was given in honor of the speakers of to-
day. and also to promote closer acquaint-
ance among the cOttagers. Music was fur
nished by the Acton band. There. were also
several Instrumental selections. The only
address of the day was delivered in the
afternoon at the tablernacse BY Rev. Mr.

The cash thus paid for preferred stock will be used In purchasing two-thirds interest in the stock of the Lorain Steel company
 "The Federal Steel company, it is un- derstood, will not buy the properties of the various companies that are to be merged in it, but will buy the stock of these com panies. This obviates the necessity of I buying out all the stockholders The lat ter can sell or not, as they elect Only a controlling interest in the stock of each company is necessary, but the Federal Steel company will exchange its stock on
 the basis stated above, for all stocks in
 the various companies that is offered Thus the individual companies will retain
 their corporate powers"
 Commenting on the Jones mixer patent at Pittsburg, the Iron Trade Review says: 'The decision in the United States court on the Jones mixer patent is one of far
 reaching importance to the steel manufac turers of the country. The common use of the direct process of Bessemer steel
 works and the economies resulting from
 the interposition of a hot metal reservoir
 between the blast furnace and the con
 verter. have made it an almost indispensa-
 ble adjunct of steel making, in this day of
 cheap steel and close competition. If the
 decision just given shall be sustained in
 the court of last resort. it can be appre-
 ciated that enormous tribute will come to
 the Pittsburg company in royalties ard
 penalties, and that by so much will its
 competitors be handicapped in the race for
 cheapest production.
