In some sections near Monument

not enjoy the band concerts as they
should on account of the ceaseless din
that was kept up all along the line by the
h;cvclists the circuit car and the peo-
ple. First a group of bicyclists would
ride by and everyone seemed to think
il his or her duty to let their gong
ring as long as possible. Then the
circuit car would go by. and there were
SO many teams and people in the way
that it had to keep it's gong ringing

The sad accident to James Gushing.

mind of many the accident at
the time the postoffice was
in the course of erection. A
workman fell from the back roof and
was in a fair way to be crushed to
Jelly on the ground 70 feet below, but a
rope CHANGED to be in his way and he
inyoluntarily caught at it, This
caused him to swing inward, and he
went through a plate glass window in
the pension Office. landing all right and
without any serious injuries. An
other case of falling that is alleged
to be an actual fact, is told of mason
who lives in Augusta, who a few years
ago fell from a staging. He caught
hold of a ladder on the way down and
swung upon it. Instead of doing as
many would do. and stopping to think
over his close escape. he turned and
went back up the. ladder and to work
as though he stopped work to light his
pipe.

The former is the first melon to arrive

He was sworn in alone, being escorted to the vice presidents desk by a sena- tor from Pennsylvania, and the scene filled him with awe. Some months later, when he had grown familiar with Fellow senators and surroundings, and been discovered to be the most companionable of men he was asked as to his feelings when he first entered the senate chamber. He replied that when he walked down the aisle to take the oath and viewed the white and venerable heads on either side of him, his heart jumped to ms throat ana H9 could hardly refrain from saying aloud: 'fNesmith. how the devil did you ever get here!"

KATE FIELD; A RECORD. !"
The Title Of Lillian Writings Book
 About Her Dearest Friend.


 A book calculated to be of interest to all sorts and coalitions of Americans will be the life story Of Kate Field, told by her most intimate friend and cor respondent, Lillian Whiting, and which will probably appear next month.
 Miss Whiting is qualified for her work, On account of her affection for the subject of her story
 In connection with this long and tender friendship, Miss Whiting re- gently said:
 Even as a child my imagination was captivated by the piquant style of Kate Fields journalistic letters from abroad, and so all through my early giTlhCCd I thought of her-in fact, she dominated my life more than any other ons influence.
 My first meeting with her was real ly a, sort of experimental interview, upon my entrance into journalistic work, in 1880. I remember well how frightened l was upon approaching the house where she was at that time a guest on Beacon street, overlooking the Charles river.
 But her kindness and charm put me quite at my ease. and when I left she kissed me gOod-by at the door. and asked me to come and see her when she was again in Boston. Socn after ward, l don't know how, our corre- spcndence began, and it was almost a daily enc until her departure for HCn3lulu, when it was interrupted by infrequent mails.
 Had I known, during all those years, that I was to enc day write her biography, I could hardly have pre- pared more fully for the work than I was thus uneonsciously led to do
 The title Of the book will be simply: Kate Field; a Record. Boston Globe
