SUBSCRIPTIONS TO ICE FUND.

Judge Blodgett. in the appellate court,
today, heard the equity cases of Horace
Adam VS.. Jospeh ID. valcourt and Della
valcourt on complainants motion TO en-
Join the taking OF Ethel Adam, a five
yearSold child OF complainant, out of the
state, and TO restrain a suit in the dis
trict court. Mr.. yalcourt is letter car
rier OF Central Falls.
Mr.. Adam says, on January 23d, 1900.
he made an agreement with Mr.. valcourt
by which that gentleman agreed If two
life insurance policies, one of the st. Jo-
seph society of Central Falls. and the
other of the Court Notre Dame, Catholic
der of Foresters, We're assigned to him.
to give Mr.. Adam and the child home
for life. 1t was found under the rules OF
the society that the assignments could
not be made. as the money paid as bene-
fits should go to relatives, and the Val
courts were no relations OF Adams.
The child was legally adopted through
the probate court of Central Falls. and
the assignment OF policies made.
Mr.. Adam alleges that some time ago
he was notified TO get out or the Valcourt
house. and that the contract was re-
scinded. The child was kept by the VAL
courts, who also began a suit against
Adam for board, amounting to SOC.
In his bill, Mr.. Adam asks that the de-
cree of the probate court giving the Val
courts custody of his daughter be an
nulled.
lie further asks that the suit for board
be restrained until the equity case can
be fully heard.
Judge Blodgett decided to hear testi-
mony as TO whether II would be-best un-
til a hearing OF the case on its merits. TO
take the child from the custody OF the
Valcourts and give IL TO the father.
Joseph ID. Valcourt, one OF tne defend
ants in the case. testified that Ethel is
about five years old. Leave to adopt Ethel
was given witness and his wife i'm Feb

Ethel the same as his own children and

NEWS FREE ICE FUND HAS
PASSED THE $1,000 MARK.

The News free ice fund has passed the
5000 mark, for which not only the news
paper. but hundreds OF persons are very
grateful.
Nobody can calculate the benefits that
have been derived from this fund this
summer, especially by little children.
Nobody knows how many sufferers from
sickness have had their sufferings light
ened by this generosity.
Nor can anybody imagine the amount of
sickness that has been prevented through
furnishing the poor with means To pre-
serve food free from taint.
Aside from these more vital interests
many households have been able 10 enjoy
cooling dssnks on hot summer days ana
nights, and. last, but not least, many a
youngster h;Ns enjoyed dissolvlng Ice in
his mouth TO his fill, without having TO
steal from the ice wagons.
So. altogether. IL will be seen that the
News free ice fund has not been fail
ure,. but a grand success. and IL is the
intention and desire TO continue IL so.
We will have considerable more warm
weather yet. Probably September will
equal July, in which case a great deal
more ice will be required.
Therefore. subscriptions will be needed
for some time 10 come and IL Is To be
hoped that they will continue TO come in
as readily as in the past.

that former State Senator Joseph c.
Church. who Is overseer OF the poor of

Senator Church asked that the dealings
OF the town authorities of South Kings

an inmate OF the town farm OF South
Kingstown, be inquired into by the
court.
A short time ago, Crandall, who Is
said To he worthy man and is in man
ners evidently gentleman, went to
Senator Chu-eh,s place and said he had.
after having been kept at the South
Kingstown town farm two years, been
pushed into the road.
The man was known TO the former SEN
ator and he determined to find out the
truth in the matter.
IL was discovered that the town author
tiles claimed Mr.. Crandall would not
work therefore the town authorities
claimed they were justified in refusing to
feed him.
Mr.. Crandall said in answer 10 this
statement that he was too sick TO work
