Fourth of July was celebrated by Sir mingham in genuine American style. Early in the morning the small boy armed with the giant cracker was in evidence to the horror of those with a nervous tempera- ment.
 All during the day brass bands paraded the streets playing patriotic airs, and the cars and suburban trains were heavily loaded transporting the happy crowds.
 Outside of the Pratt City disaster not an accident happened to mar the pleasure of the day. The docket at police court was lighter than usual something that has not happened before for many years.
 At all the resorts barbecues and picnics were in progress. At 12 o'clock many of the stores closed doors and allowed the clerks to take part in the festivities.
 One of the principal attractions of the day was the race meet at Smiths park. The races were run under the auspices Of the Birmingham Riding and Driving asso- citation and under the dictatorship of James B. Smiley.
 About one thousand persons were pres ent, and the racing was greatly enjoyed.
 Following are the results:
 Three mile trotting: Helen B., owned by R. Fies, first; Lady G., owned by Frank Gafford, second.
 Pacing race: Won by Captain Morson's

 Retrcnchment Resolutions
 Alderman Moore offered a resolution de- claring it to be the policy of the city to cut down all needless expenses; that the office of private secretary to the mayor be abolished. This resolution was referred to the finance committee
 Wanted to Cut Down Salaries Alderman Pearce also introduced a Ire trenchment" resolution to the effect that the salaries of the city officials be cut down on all sides, as follows: Those re- ceiV1ng $1OO per month and under shall be reduced per cent; those receiving be-
 tween S100 and s200 per month 10 per cent:
 those receiving over $200, 15 per cent. This reduction, MT. Pearce said would save the city about S5000 annually. which money could be devoted to the reduction of inc street tax from $3 to s2 per year. This res olution was also referred to the finance committee.
 Street Improvement aI n The board then went into executive hses- sion, and passed 0 resolution authorizing the mayor to borrow $10,000 for ninety days | at not exceeding 6 per cent. interest, to pay for the street Improvements which the | city was now carrying on; this temporary loan is necessary pending the sale of the | city improvement bonds, which the city is | authorized to issue for making city im- provements. ei The question of an official city newspa- 1 per- was also brought up in the executive | session and Alderman Moore's resolution to | that effect was passed. A special commit | tee consisting of Aldermen Moore Altman | Pearce, Meighan, McNally and Rainbow was appointed to prepare method for se- | lecting this official organ, and to arrange l for the proper distribution of the city's ad- l yertising. 1t was tacitly agreed by the | board that this should be given to the
 three daily newspapers published in Bir- 1 mingham, each paper to print the city advertising for term of six months. It 1 is probable that the newspapers will draw l lots for the first, second and third terms | of each year. It was also understood that l this agreement should continue during the | term of this administration.

What Advertising Does.

Or more properly what effective adver-
Using does. Reference is made to the phe-
nomenal sale which has been going on since
Saturday at the M. A. Durkee store. No
sale in Bellows Falls in recent years has
been so thoroughly advertised and no sac
has attracted such crowds. 1t was a per-
feet stampede all day Saturday. A store
full would be let in and the door locked
until those inside were waited upon and
given an opportunity to escape by the back
door; then a new installment would be
admitted. This program was followed
during the day and evening and most Of
Monday afternoon and although yesterday
was stormy day the store was we'll filled
most of the time. Besides liberal news
paper advertising, thousands of flyers had
been distributed in Rockingham and all the
adjacent towns. The people were told
what was for sale; Mr.. Wales had goods
that they wanted at prices that talked !;
hence the success of the sale.
The estimated number Of those who Wis
tied the store Saturday was from 1900 to
1000. Those present to look after the
wants of the people were Mr.. and Mrs. w.
A. Truax, MSS Nellie A. Brown, Mrs.
George l. Whitney, Mrs. Linsley of
Alstead, Dan Campbell, Miss Florence
Lane, Mrs. Elmer Smith, Miss Nellie
Dean, Mrs. George R. Wales, Mrs. C. s.
Howard in addition to the clerks in the
Durkee store and most of the force from
the Wales cash store. In the kitchen de-
partment were j. E. Keefe and two of his
clerks, A. H. Bissell, Frank Diggins and
William Hayes.

The Future of the Fltchburg.

information is obtained than has thus far
been vouchsafed. The Fitchburg railroad

the port of Boston, and has for years past
had close traffic alliance with railroad
systems controlled by the New York Gem
trail company from the Hudson river west
ward. 1t has more than rivalled the Bos-
ton & Albany road as route for the trans
portation of western productions intended
tor export via Boston, and any change
which would tend to increase its facilities
would be warmly welcomed by our people.
1t has been sometimes said that, if the New
Y ork Central owned line of railroad from
the Hudson river to Boston, its corporate
interests would tend to have freight sent
directly eastward to Massachusetts bay.
rather than detected southwark at the
Hudson river to New York harbor; this
change in disposition growing out OF the
fact that there would be about so miles
more Of "a lroad Transportation upon which
pro rata division OF freight earnings could
be based. We are inclined to think that
this is an argument having greater theoret-
ic than practical force. and that the great

company has from Albany southward to
New York lily on both sides OF the Hud-
son river would influence it to maintain aud

Hayes bought Rutland and Fitchburg
combination mileage OF II. N. Tsplin, now
Of Washington, ID. G. He took the book
to the local ticket office and asked to have
his name inserted SO he could use it on the
Rutland road. The request was refused
and he sent the book to General Passen-
ger Agent E. b. Aldrich at Rutland
and made the same request and was again
refused. He then bought a new mileage
for the Rutland road and had his name
written therein. Last week he boarded
the train at this station for Rutland.
When Conductor Wyman came along Mr..
Hayes was reading. He had 10 different
mileage books in his pockets, and selecting
one oil the combination mileage books he
handed it to the conductor. He was in
formed that Textbook was taken up and
would be sent to Rutland. By mistake he
had handed the conductor the Taplin book
he then offered the book having his own
name but the conductor refused to pull the
mileage and Mr.. Hayes had to pay fare.
The Taplin book was sent to Rutland and
the suit is brought to recover the same.

Anthony will hardly have time to devote to
prosecuting any one it he attends to bis own
defence upon the many charges brought
against him. When. last month, from the
failure of the district attorney to summon
any witnesses, of whom he was furnished
a list, Anthony was discharged, his attor-
ney notified Mr.. Hayes of his intention to
bring suit, but this has never been done
and is probably pure bluff The follow
ing from last weeks Review, an insurance
paper OF New York, shows how the man
has bumbugged the people;
during the ps't week the notorious
Frank w. Anthony was placed on trial in
the Uni,ed Sa'es district court in Brook
Ign, charged with using the mails for fraud
ulent purposes. The specific allegatic ms
were to the effect that Anthony had S, MT
through the mails alleged policies of insur-
ance in companies that had no existence,
and also circulars to insurance agents call
ing attention to such "take" companies,
and offering commissions upon business
sent to him by such az nts. Witnes es
testified to receiving the circulars and to
having sent business to Anthony on which
they were unable to collect commissions.
and former clerk in Anthony's flee tod
how policies in bogus companies were sent
out.
Assistant District Attorney Roy has
given much time to preparing the case but
has found great difficulty in obtaining legal
evidence sufficient to convict the accused
as insurance men who know of Anthony's
transactions and have suffered by them,
are reluctant to take the witness stand and
tell the jury Of their experiences. The
prosecutor received any amount of infor-
nation verbally and in writing but when
witnesses were wanted to appear in court,
their probable extreme modesty prevented
such public appearance. A, Anthony is
reported to have received premiums
amounting to $4,000 year or more, it
seem to be in the interests OF legitimate in
surance that the authorize, who are prose
cutting him should have the aid and sup
port of insurance men who may be familiar
with his methods and bis work"
