He clerked in different stores near

The BLOCK SYhtem.

"The Consolidated railroad proposes
to have the Tariffville extension of the
Central New England line operated
under the block system. "-Hartford
Post.
In the light of the recent decision of
the supreme court, thus far the block
system seems to work pretty effectually.
But how is it in its effect upon the in
terests of the western portion of the
state? 1t is stated that not barrel of
lime, not ton of freight from the
western part OF the state can reach the
eastern markets of New England so
long as this block continues. The IL
dustrial interests are practically barred
from those markets by the prohibitory
tariffs of the present come ting lines.
It costs more or as much to get East
Canaan pig iron to the neighboring city
of Holyoke, Mass, as it does to put il
down in Detroit, Mich. 1t is even
claimed that Holyoke rates have been
higher, at times, than those to Chicago.
The legislature has the power to re-
move this hindrance to the industrial
development of large and growing
portion of the state if it will. That il
should, is the sentiment of large por
ton of the community. Let this par
ticular block system be abolished.

down in the family as an heirloom. 1t

Banner at Liverpool about the year
1900. 1t still keeps good time as it did
400 years ago. Every part is handsome
1t is said its manufacture probably oc-
cupied one man for an entire year. Its
size is that of the American No. 16
watch. Its dial is of engraved silver
and bears both Roman and Arabic nu.
merals. With the exception of two
jewels placed as pivots for the balance
spring, the works and case remain the
same as when they were brought tt
America. The watch was repaired 1O(
years ago by Robert Holloway of Balti

the case.

Lincoln's Birthday.


Editor Of Ne,os:
Dear Sir:-In last weeks issue of
your paper notice that your Norfolk
correspondent refers to Lincoln's Birth
day as having been observed here last
year by lecture in the chapel. Has
he not confused both the event and the
date with another occasion, viz, the
one hundredth anniversary of the death
of Washington. Dec. IA, 1899? At that
time the Rev John Calvin Goddard of
Salisbury delivered an address on
Washington at the chapel. 1 recall no
public commemoration of Lincoln's
Birthday during the past two years ex-
cept that on the 18th of this month,
making this, therefore, the first public
observance Of the day.
