AT the Minnesota station rape was
compared with timothy hay for feeding
sheep. Eight sheep were divided into
two groups, each containing four sheep.
Group one ate 3s7 pounds of hay in 32
days; group two ate one-fifth acre OF
rape in the same time. The increase in
live weight was calculated at four cents
per pound and timothy hay worth six
dollars per ton. At this rate one acre
of rape was estimated TO be worth $3.50
for late pasturage of sheep.

Both branches of the city council
met yesterday afternoon. and there was
a general clearing up of business prior
TO the usual summer vacation. In joint
convention Reuben S. Bemis was re-
elected Inspector of plumbing for two
years, as was generally expected. Af-
ter a short discussion the matter Of
double tracking Charles street and the
matter OF providing for a lease to the
Un.on Railroad Company of the right
of way over that portion OF the chty's
land on Railroad Terrace were passed
in concurrence.
Seats are TO be built at Roger Will
liams Park FOR which a nominal sum
will be charged, and during the band
concert season thousands OF persons
will be glad and willing to avail them
selves of this privilege. A resolution
approving the plan was adopted IN
both branches. and the question OF band
concerts at the park was thus settled,
for there will now be no need for the
commissioners TO ask for an approprl-
alton in the future.

OF the most faithful police officers in
the town of Warwick, was marked for
slaughter by the new town government
and Toms" retended friends were
beginning TO condole with him. His
real friends. however said nothing. but
| put in some work, with the result that

| Monday last when he received his ap-
| potntment from High Sheriff Amasa

Mr.. Kettle has been the principal po-
lice officer at the Rocky Point excursion
grounds ever since MIR. X. A. Harring-
ton has been the proprietor and mama
ger and he will still remain there in
that capacity during the season. His
apppoirtment. which was known only
20 a privileged few, leaked out yester-
day, ami the older attaches determined
to show Tom that they heartily ap-
prove OF his deserved promotion. At
o'clock last evening, the full Ma
tional Band, under the direction of Will
liam T.. White, marched up 10 the ho-
tel and took a position on the lawn,
and then a message was sent to Deputy
Sheriff Kettle that his services were
needed at the office.
In a few minutes he arrived with a
CLINT in his eye, which betokened no
good DO disturbers of the peace but 1t
soon disappeared when the band struck
up Hail to the Chief and then there
were calls for a speech. The newly ap-
pointed deputy spoke briefly, being evil
IDENTITY deeply touched by the serenade.
which was entirely unexpected. The
hand then played "Auld Lang Syne,"
and Mr.. Kettle distributed good cigars
TO all his Old friends.
