AS recently stated in the Dispatch. five

the bridge, including steel work and false
stuff, are on the ground. Stone sufficient
to build about three piers has been de-
hyered. Barges with which 10 handle the

The announcement in the Dispatch of
Sunday that the SeabOard Airline would
probably use the Pennsylvania from
QUantico to New York on its New York
Tampa line Is now followed by the an
nouncement that the Southern will pro-
baby use the Pennsylvania also from

an agreement whereby It's route from New

his customers the Queens OF many nation

cording to him, the Russians have heavy.

fits any OF them Is a five. The late EN-
pres OF Austria wore long. narrow shoe.
The Empress Eugene had a beautifully
shaped foot. with an exceedingly high in

While contemplating the stylish

LAST EDITION
4 O'CLOCK.
JAQU|TH LIBRARY
A Lasting Monument to a Pub
lie Spirited Citizen.
CONGRATULATIONS
To Mansfield on Having Such
a Loyal and Distinguished
Son, and such a Beau<
tiful Library.

Yesterday was day of more than
ordinary moment to the town OF
Marshheld, for in the afternoon the
A. II. Jaquith Free Public Library in
the village was formerly dedicated and
opened to the public.
This library has it's origin in a be-
quest of $6, 900 to the town of Marsh
field from the late Andrew ii. ia
quith of Templeton, Mass, a former
resident of the place. He also left
81, 900 in trust with the town, the in
terest of the same to keep in order
the graves of the testator and his wife
and the graves of relatives in the
Marshfield cemetery.
The library money was to 60 to the
town for the purpose of establishing
and maintaining free public library,
on condition that the town provide
suitable TO, ms for the accommodation
of the books in the village of Marsh
field and also pay the running expen-
ses of the library. Two thousand dol
lars of the bequest was to be used to
purchase books and the interest of the
remaining s4, 900 was to replenish the
supply of books from time to time. In
case town failed to comply with these
conditions, the money was to revert
to Mrs. Jaquith's heirs.
The Will was contested and an eX-
pensive lawsuit followed, but the jury
unanimously sustained the will and as
the town laterappropriated money for
the building and running expenses,
Marshfield now has one of the pref
tiest and best libraries owned by any
small town in the state.
Mr.. Jaquith's generosity inspired IL
personal friend of his, Ira Bemis of
Marshtield, to donate the site, all
graded and ready for the foundation.
Mr.. Bemis worked for and with Mr..
Jaquith in Massachusetts and cannot
speak too highly of his integrity and
worth.

When Winston Churchill called on
Col. Wylie for volunteers to remove

dropping on the trains like rain. Ser

the noble example of Churchill and
