OVER A NEW INDUSTRY,
Town Meeting in North Haven To-
 Night

Town Meeting in North Haven To- Night
 The citizens of the town of North Haven will hold mass meeting in the town hall this evening, at which the question of permitting the Darling Fer tilizer company of Pawtucket, R. l., to establish a plant will be settled. There has been strong objection made to the porject by the people of North Haven, who claim that it will be a nuisance and injurious to public health.
 The concern has already purchased a site for the proposed establishment but it is located on the highway and the people who have remonstrated say that this is in violation of the statute law passed in 1889. At a recent meeting of the North Haven grange a vote was passed welcoming the new industry to the town and favoring the granting of a license.

CONGR FOR MIR. Low.
ENS'TEIN

The Hon. Samuel Lowenstein, who was
so summarily ousted from the position of
government immigration agent in Mime
sota-unfairfy ousted, as some of his
friends think, in favor of an exceedingly
quiescent person named Moore-has been
appointed government paymaster for
certain Indians Of this state, and Is now
industriously studying the intricacies Of
the Sioux language in order to fit himself
for the discharge Of his new duties This
latest appointment is, no doubt, offered as
balm for the wounded feelings of the
amiable gentleman from the Third ward,
and is peculiarly appropriate in view Of
the fact that for many years Mr.. Lowen-
stein has devoted much of mis- attention
to the habits and customs of the large
and digni1ed wooden Indian which dec
crates the front of his store.
Armed with the experience derived from
his years of study, Mr.. Lowenstein should
be we'll qualified to discharge the onerous
duties of his new Office, and the amiabt1-
characteristics will no doubt make him ex-
ceedingly popular with the red-skinned
wards of the nation with whom he will
soon come in contact.
There may be men who could better fill
the position but none who could fill it
with greater satisfaction to Mr.. Lowen-
stein

OF ammunition and guns appears to be
almost unlimited, and Increased expert
ness in the use of their artillery must
follow the severe experiences they are
having. Their numbers cannot have
been appreciably reduced, and their
fighting powers generally must be great
er and more effective now than they
were two months ago. Bloody battles
may be again expected very soon unless
Butler and Methuen are compelled to
await endorsements, which is scarcely
probable. The most serious danger to
the Beers is that unwise counsels may
prevail and they may be induced to be-
come the attackers, in which case they
would probably suffer as severely as did
the British.
