Who has not read the books Of Rowland
E. Robinson, or his sketches as contribut-
ed to Forest and Stream? If such there
be they should lose no time in becoming
acquainted with New England author
who occupies field exclusively his own.
Possibly the French Canadian dialect may
puzzle some, but it is worth mastering.
Mr.. Robinson's style is of tine woods,
woodsy; and brings to the mind of the
present writer the works of Frank Forces
ter, unrivaled in his day as chronicler of
exploits with rod and gun. But while
Forester was English, Mr.. Robinson is a
Vermonter through and through, and his
pictures of certain phases of New Engl and

worthy of preservation.

Rev. Fl. Jerome White, of Southbridge
at midnight Thursday. Mrs. White has
been an invalid for years, and during
the ten years pastorate Of her son in
this city was unable to attend a single
divine service. The past year she has
been confined to her room.
Her happy disposition enabled her to
find much comfort in pain, and she was
cheerful to the last About ten days
ago she failed rapidly, and her death
has been momentarily expected since
Sunday, when she ceased to partake of
nourishment.
She passed her seth birthday on Tues
day. when she seemed to revive, but
only for a short time, to be followed
by intense suffering, which death alone
could appease. Upon those who intim-
ately knew the noble woman, is left
an impression of tenderness and love.
She is survived by her husband who
has been an affectionate and faithful
companion during her long illness. and
two sons, Rev. II. Jerome White OF
Southbridge, and Alfred White of Yer
mont. The funeral arrangements are
not as yet completed, but the burial

CASINOS WON THE GAME,
Ut to the Babies Goes the Series Of Can
die Pin Matches.

The Casinos won the last Of a series OF
five games with the Babies bowling team
at Whites alleys last night. Capt. Hen
nesseys men were on their mettle, and
despite the fact that they were away
from home piled up a score that gave
them margin of % pins to their good at
the finish.
This score cuts down the lead of the
Babies from 239 to 2l6, but in no way ar
fects the final result.
The Babies have won three Of the five
games rolled, and the way things have
been coming their way of late, it looked
well nigh impossible to stem their pace.
Last night it was different The men who
train on the Mechanic street alleys were
out to win, while their opponents, on the
other hand, seemed to have lost much of
the knack that has characterized former
matches.
Gendron who heads the list of names
making up the team, was far from his
usual FORM although he succeeded in
beating his man by IS pins Hennessey
rolled the highest individual string, ia,
while Doran of the same team led In the

There is some talk of another series of
matches between these teams, but nothing

A step was taken yesterday which
may prove to be the forerunner of a
crusade in this city against the better
ment law, and the outcome CT the ac-
ton will be closely watched by all
property owners.
Shortly before the closing of the court
house, a petition was filed by the law
firm. of Wood & Wood as counsel for
Mrs. Josephine A. Adams and others,
abutters and property owners on West
Boylston street The petition is ad-
dressed to the superior court and the
petitioner prays that assessment upon
her for street betterments may be set
tied by jury to be impaneled by the
court. This action is taken to mean
that Mrs. Adams intends to make a
test case of the assessments made upon
her by the city for street betterments,
If her suit is successful, it will doubt
less be followed by many others not
only from property owners on West
Boylston street, but on other thorough
fares throughout the city.
Gen. Wood of the law firm represent
man in regard to the matter. said: II
do not believe this assessment will
stand before a jury. 1t never was die
tated by the exercise of a particle of
sound sense or judgment and is on a
par with a great deal of our public
business" Gen. Wood expressed a de-
termination to fight the case to finish,
The betternent act provides that the
city council of city may assess bet

follows:
If the said board shall adjudge that

assess a proportionate share of the ex
pense of such new street or newly
constructed street upon such estates.
but in no case shall such assessment be
more than one-half of the adjudged
benefit"
1t then provides, ANY person not
agreed with the doings of the board
may apply to the superior court and
have the assessments or betterment
settled by jury" 1t is upon the last
provision that the petitioner bases her
action.

for the assessment for betterments

government made an assessment upon
