Lack of Rain Felt Through New Eng
land.
Low water causes rise in prices of
paper. The long continued drought
without immediate prospect of break
ing, is causing much loss and annoy
ance. While Bristol and the vicinity
has not suffered to anything like the
extent of some other places, the lack
of rain Is proving expensive. Paper
mills all about New England, while
crowded with orders, have been COM
PEELED to shut down, and as a conse-
quence paper is rapidly increasing in
price. In some cases the price has
doubled and all quotations are with
drawn. Hartford, Waterbury and Mer-
iden suffer from lack Of water. Bristol
has an abundant supply. but at least
one factory that depended on water for
power, has been obliged to put in an
engine. Wells and brooks are falling
in some sections of the town, and I'M
less rain comes soon and copiously
there will be much sickness.

A HARD POLO CONTEST.
NEW HI YEN QUINTETTE SURPRISED
THE CHAMPIONS.
Providence Looked Like Sure Winners
at start, but Blues Woke Up In Second
Period and Kept Game Well In Hand
Rome Played u Strong Game and Kept
TieHcrlnan Busy.

The New Haven polo team won
fast and stubbornly contested game
from the Providence champions by the
score of 5 to 2, Providence loosing one
goal on fouls. The crowd was typical
holiday one and evidently came pre-
pared to give the Blues all the encour-
agen1ent that was necessary to win the
game. At the outset it looked blue for
New Haven, Providence scoring three
goals in less than ten minutes from
the start. This daupened the spirits of
the crowd who vented what i'll wrath
they had on Lations, whom they SEEM
ed to hold responsible for the way
things were going. Wake up! Wake
up! was the repeated cry that came
from the crowd. The loss of the third
goal had a telling effect on the Blues,
who up to this juncture had been play
ing anything but lively game. Sud
denly as If by magic, Bone came down
the rink like a streak of blue lightning,
blue fire spurted from his skates and
seemed to kin6le a flame that spread
to Whipple, from Whipple to Legion,
from the plucky little center to Brother
Bill, and from Whiting to Lations, I'M
til the whole quintet seemed struck as
If by the touch of a magic hand, and
had but one mission to fulfil, and that
to win the game.

 Upon entering the camp MT. Chapin bought an interest in the Duquesne mine, which he operated about three years, at one time owning the entire property.

The old saying that clothes make the man is also applicable to business. No matter how substantially a house is constructed, without artistic em- belishments it will lack features pleasing to the eye. Ii one desires to purchase any commodity and is con- fronted with hyerogliphic sign, he reasons the man has neither taste nor tact to keep in stock what he desires, and he passes him by. In Nogales we have men who have made regulations in many states in the painting line who are envied for their artistic work, and prominent among them are Messrs. Jones & Hinkle. These gen. tlemen do all kinds of painting riage, house and sign-and are also decorators and paper hangers. Their shop is at Hogans carriage works. Messrs.
