young man came to us the other
day and begged us to agitate the idea
of people killing off their hens or
make them stop laying eggs. He had
tears in his eyes and slowness Of

about his boarding house-said they
were giving eggs for breakfast, eggs
for dinner, eggs for supper and deviled
eggs for lunch everyday. We are

them home and they were duly depos-

was inclined to assume the duties

the time the eggs were purchased at
the store, twelve sound chickens were
found in the nest one morning, all
Matched and lively as crickets. 1t is
very evident that the groceryman did
not candle the eggs.
While listening to group of rail
road men recounting past experiences
one day recently, we overheard an
interesting bit of raj ad slang, and
it ran something like this: The

Third Suspension From Police
Force at Noon Today.

Mayor Fitzgerald of Pawtucket add
ed to his record for police suspensions
shortly before noon today, when hs
put Lieutenant Sweet out OF the busi-

The cause was the familiar Lorraine
sauabble between the mayor and the

Fitzgerald ordered the lieutenant to
remain at the police station and take
the place OF the captain acting as chief
of police. The lieutenant turned to the
acting chief and wanted to know what
he should do. because Of desire for
a thorough understanding. The acting
chief informed the lieutenant he was
to go with him. Thereupon the mayt
issued an order OF suspension in SO
many words and the suspended official
went home. The record is now one sus-

ing rapidly TO a close, as the city coun-
Gil will take the situation in hand as
soon as possible.

General Hamilton's column is at

capture the Streeter forces.
Captain Streeter claims to own the
land which. were the title clear, would
be worth between thirty and fifty mill
lions OF dollars. In 1886, Captain
Streeter and his wife were stranded on
little sand bar a few yards from
the shore at the foot of Superior street.
The spot was not down on maps and
Captain Streeter laid claim to the land.
As the years passed by, the dump
ing OF all sorts OF refuse and earth
washed up by the lake formed q large
tract and Captain Streeter became
man or Importance. With his import
ance and the increased value of lands
his troubles began. The tract became
connected with the shore and owners
of adjoining property resented the
presence of Captain Streeter and the
retainers he had gathered about him.
They carried the matter into court. The
supreme court OF the United States de-
cided that the land was within the ju.
risdiction OF the state OF Illinois. Streets
er, thereupon, offered the district to the
Federal government. A year ago he or
ganized under the name District OF
Lake Michigan" a territorial govern
ment and elected himself chief justice
and to the other offices of Importance
The police, however. descended y upon
him and his army OF fifty men and
since then up to today the captain had
lived in another part OF the town.
The preparations to retake possession
were madeNw with great secrecy and II
was not until dawn today that the po-
lice were aware of the invasion.

In dispatch after dispatch may be
seen strong conviction on the part OF
the writer's that the war is approach
ing its end. Indeed, one of the most
important South African financiers to-
day received a telegram from private
source stating that President Kruger
himself is ready to make peace.
Various messages say that more than
a thousand rifles have been surrender
ed at Kroonstad. The burghers appear
ed TO be glad TO give up their guns. The
farmers in arms in Thaba NChu dis
trict are surrendering. Twelve hundred
Free Staters deserted at the Rhenoster
river.
All the correspondents agree that the
war in the Free State is practically
over. If, however, the Transvaal Beers
maintain their resistance Gen. Roberts.
whatever may besthe details of his
plan, can only pursue them in the
hope OF overtaking and enveloping
them and forcing decisive engage
ment. which hitherto the Beers have
most successfully avoided.
