there have never been more than
three contemporary European Queens.
IN TACT, the number who have occupied
the throne in medieval and modern
times is comparatively small. England
heads the list with five; Russia cam
BOAST of four, but the total comes to
considerably under thirty altogether.
FIT y-one years ago a well-known
Norwich Comm merchant deposited
SlO, the first money he ever earned in
the savings bank of New London. Re-
Gently he was in the city, and for the
first time had the interest added to his
book. He was somewhat surprised tn
learn that the $40 had grown to s136.08.
A Chinese thoroughfare is the exact
reverse of ours in shape, the middle
part being considerably higher than
the two pavements ON each side. In
the rainy season if a vehicle should
slip the occupants run considerable
risk OF being smothered in the mud
and water which always accumulates
at that period.

The Boston Globe OF yesterday con.
tanned the following:
Charles Bemis, who has lived a hermit
life for many years in what is known az
Smokeshire, locate in the northern part Of
Chester, was found dead in bis lonely
home last Saturday afternoon by one of his
neighbors who had occasion to call there.
The dead man was found on the floor,
having fallen from his chair. Mr.. Bems
was in destitute circumstances, as not a
morsel of food could be found in the house.
There was no bed nor crockery. The
Only furniture he possessed was an old
stove, two broken chairs, a wooden box
and tin milk pail. To all appearances
be had been dead about "a hours. An

Typhoid Fever.

North Wslpole is having an epidemic o.
typhoid fever. Mrs. Brill died short
time ago and now there are four other
cases, all tracable to this one case. The
Walpole board of health made an investi-
CATION yesterday and it is hoped no other
cases will develop. Those in position to
know say that the acqueduct water is in no
way responsible for the fever, as some
seem to think, for this water is kept clean
and wholesome. The fact probably is
there is inadequate drainage for sewerage;
too many slop holes, privies, stables aud
pig pens near the houses. Too much care

THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
Directors and Officers Elected
Everything Progressing Harmon

Everything Progressing Harmon.
iously.
Even the strongest doubters are begin
nirg to believe that the electric road tt
Saxtons River will be built and probably
this fall. j. H. Holton OF Burlington ha
been in town during the past week or ter
days and in conversation Monday stated
that he was more than pleased with thu
way in which everything was moving. HI
said the citizens of the place want the
road, and instead of placing obstacles ii
the compa' US way, are doing all they car
to help the project along. He said that he
and Engineer Nash went over the pro-
posed route from the Bellows Falls cor
poration limit to Saxtons River last Satur-
day with the ,electmen OF Westminster and
Rockingham, ard no objection was made
to the route they had outlined. Speak
ing of G. L. BARRIERS grove, Mr.. Holton
said it was one of the prettiest he had
every seen and that Mr.. Barber had made
splendid offer if they run a track to the
grove and intimated that that was what
would be done after the main line of the
ad was in operation.
Monday afternoon Mr.. Holton, F. C.
Kennedy and Engineer Nash met the cor
poration bailiffs and all went over the
route from the depot through the several
streets. Several directions are under con-
slider alton. One is from the depot over
the island and Bridge streets, through the
square, up Rockingham to Morgan park,
and then down Atkinson. 1t is now talked
that the grade up the front terrace is SO
steep that the road will have to 60 up the
back terrace in that event the PRACTICABLE
ity OF running the cars down Westminster
and Henry streets will be considered.
This will cut off mile or more of track
and save from $4,000 to $1,000 on the cost
of construction.
A meeting of the stockholders was held
Monday afternoon in the office Of George
A. Weston. Of the Burlington gentlemen
F. c. Kennedy and J. H. Holton were
present The following directors were
elected: F c. Kennedy, j. j. Flynn, A.
D. Humphrey, A. N. Swain, j. F. Alex
ander and George R. Wales. The diIec-
:ors organized as follows j. II. Holton,
A. N. Swain, vice president; j.
J. Flynn, treasurer; George A. Weston,
secretary; George R. Wales, assistant
ecretary. This meeting of the stock
10 ders aid directors was adjourned until
P. NJ next Saturday, when another meet
ng will be held in the same place. Mean
Vhile bylaws are to be prepared to be sub
1itted to the consideration of the stock
olders and an effort viii be made to give
IL who desire an opportunity to subscribe
Or stock between now and Saturday.
Below are given some ofthe things that
re being talked but none Of them have
ken very definite shape yet.

i'll probably have a spur track to their
