 Way-Funeral of Charles Wood
 worth-Local Brevities-
 Local residents have been without electric lights upon the public streets for so long q time and have seen the progress made regarding electric light ing by other suburban towns nearby, that q move is being made to see what can be done in this direction for Wa tertown streets this winter. 1t is very improbable that the town can be ill., duced to furnish and pay for electric lighting, even a few in number, and i'll order to get around the main difficulty it is hoped that fund can be raiscel for the maintenance of lights by pop ular subscription from individuals. Two electric lights are already in- stalled and paid for by two enterpris- ing citizens. Now that the nights are growing longer gradually the necessity of electric street lighting in several parts of the town will be the more ap- parent. The subscription list will be passed around shortly and if enough caIs be secured an order will be given for lights some time during Septem- Der.
 The funeral of the late Charles W. NbOOuM OElu was 4elu tulS dlIGIuOOu dl 3 o'clock from his late residence, a large number of friends attending. The pallbearers were Charles Holt, Chauncey Dayton, George Hubbard and Charles Gibson, shopmates of the deceased. Interment was in Evergreen cemetery. The deceased was a per son of genial, jovial disposition; q cheery countenance and a happy word Of salutation for all whom he came ln contact. With the children particular ly he was looked upon as a good na- tured, great hearted friend, who would listen with genuine interest to their talk and make their faces shine with happiness by some gift, however trivial in nature. but so freely given. MT Woodworth was a model citizen, man whose character stands to-day as it will always stand, without a blem- ish.
