RHODES IS Open
PaWtuxet Resort Entertained
5000 Persons Last Evening

The Rhodes brothers opened their popu-
lar resort at Rhodes-on-t the -Pawtuxet
vast night and entertained one OF the
biggest crowds that has been present at
any recent opening. Fully 5000 persons
visited the grounds and all sorts of
amusements were provided for their en-
tertalnment.
Dancing will be favorite amusement
at Rhodes and the management has set
apart space 60 feet by 80 for this ex.
hilerating exercise. They claim TO haze
the largest and finest dancing pavilion IN
the country and the claim is not likely
to be soon disputed. The dance hall was
filled uncomfortably for the hours be-
tween and IL o'clock. during which the
orchestra played for dancing, and the
Union Railroad company ran large
number OF extra cars. At IL o'clock, the
hour for closing. the line of cars waiting
for the crowd stretched across the bridge

much resorted to. The boats were let

"A STRANGE CASE.

The case of Charles E. Buzzell of Harrington, N H., as matter of lost identity recalls that of the hero in Gill bert Parker's novel, "The Right of Way" Buzzell left 4home on May 9 with a load of produce for market. When he reached his destination he left his horse at a livery stable and disappeared. He has no recollection of that day nor the days that preceded it. He remembers only that one day about two weeks ago he felt a severe pain in the head and found himself in a strange city, knowing absolutely nothing about himself. He drifted from Rockland to Bath and finally to Brunswick, all in the state of Maine
 In the town last named he called on the police to help him identify himself. Through the publication of his pie ture and the circumstances he was identified, his relatives coming on to bring him home. Familiar faces, how ever, awakened not only the dormant faculty. but physicians believe that with rest and care memory will re- turn. Buzzelfs case proves once more that the imagination of the romantic novelist can never go beyond the possi- bilities of actual life.-Boston Pilot.

SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT.
Efshermen Caught Tn Net and Car-
 ried Down Before Relatives.

Efshermen Caught Tn Net and Car-
 ried Down Before Relatives.
 ATTAINING, Pa, June 13.-Two men lost their lives and a third was probably fatally injured at Rosston in one of the saddest drowning accidents known in this vicinity
 The Bailey and Hileman families, about sixteen in all, left their homes in Rosston and went to the banks of Crooked run, short distance away, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. They had a fishing net with them and began to fish for sminnows with great sue cess. The net, after being taken out several times and cast back, finally became entangled in snag. The wa ter at this point is about ten feet deep, the location being familiarity known as the "sink hole" After vainly en- deavoring to release the net, young Kirk Bailey swam out to see what the trouble was.
 As he approached the net he was suddenly perceived to become white and then called for help, saying that his feet had become entangled in the net. His struggles were terrible, and Andrew Hileman, seeing that the boy could not continue his struggle much longer, started to his rescue.
 As Hileman was approaching the trapped boy he, too, was seen to throw up his hands and make desperate struggles to go forward. The fatal net had also wrapped around his feet, and he was caught in the same plight as the boy. Dwight Bailey, father of the struggling boy, now jumped into the water and started to release the i'm prisoned men.
 When he neared the net, he was caught as his son and MT. Hileman had. been, and he yelled to the crowd on the bank that he was caught in the net and could do nothing more. Final ly A. B. Bailey brother of Dwight, who had been called to the scene, saw at glance the direction in which the current had dragged the net. Keeping above the net, he succeeded in reaching his brother and getting him to the shore in an unconscious condition. He will probably die.
 At the instant the elder Bailey was released from the net the son sank for the last time and Mr. Hileman, seem- ing to make a final effort to help the youth, also drowned During all the time the men were struggling in the water their wives and families were on the bank in agonized helplessness. All connected with the accident are prominent and of the oldest families in Armstrong county.

MORGAN ON CANALS
Alabama Senator Speaks For
 Over Three Hours.
RECIPROCITY OPPONENTS CONFER.
Nineteen Republican Senators Will Oppose Administrations Plan to Aid Cuba to the Last Ditch.
 Their Plan of Action.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-After con- sidering the London dock charges bill for an hour and a half yesterday, with out completing it, the senate resumed consideration of the isthmian canal question. MT. Morgan (Ala.) occupied the floor for three hours and half. discussing particularly the diplomaAc phases of the question.
 From this point he was diverted by an amendment introduced by MT. Fair banks Qnd) providing for the issue of bonds for the construction of the canal. Mir. Morgan vigorously attacked the amendment, maintaining that the ex- pense of the canals construction should be paid from the treasury's current re- ceipts.
 Incidentally Mr. MoHgan again op- posed the Panama route and assailed the right of the new Panama company to dispose of the concessions it held from the old company.
 The Republican senators who are friendly to beet sugar and who oppose the proposed legislation for reduction of the tariff on Cuban products held conference of almost two hours dura- ton and decided to continue their op- position to the reciprocity proposition. They will do this by announcing to the advocates of the tariff reduction that they will cast their votes for the reef procity bill as it passed the house of representatives, including the Morris amendment for the abolition of the diff ferential duty on refined sugar, and that they will resist all amendments that may be offered to it. They will propose two alternatives. One of these is to drop the subject and make no further attempt to secure reciprocity legisla- ton. The other is to accept the rebate plan. The conference was held in Sen ator Elkins' committee room. A count of those present and those absent and known to be in sympathy with the movement led to the conclusion that there are at least nineteen Republican senators who can be depended on to stand together in any course agreed on.
 The house adopted a special rule for the consideration of the irrigation bill which passed the senate some time ago and devoted the day to general debate of the measure.
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-06-13

The Cuban reciprocity bill is still in committee and the friends and op- ponents of the measure are each claim ing victory. The president has stated in unequivocal terms that he will not accept q measure which provides for a rebate, and there is a rumor that the matter will end with the appointment of a congressional committee to go to Cuba and investigate conditions there preparatory to legislation at the next session. The friends of the measure say that this is simply q ruse of the opponents of the measure and will be rejected, but the disclosure of the fact that the expenses of the reciprocity propaganda has been shared by the sugar trust to the extent of at least S2,5o0 is proving a serious obstacle to the bill.
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-06-13

After fighting for two years and over, it is not everyone that could lay down arms and feel as the defeated Boers do. Here is an extract from General Botha's speech after the terms of sur render had been accepted: Now that there is peace, and although it is not q peace such as we lenged for, let us abide where God has led us We can, with a clear conscience, declare that for two and one-half years our people have carried on the struggle in man. ner almost unknown to history. Let us now grasp each others hands. for another great struggle lies before us struggle for the spiritual and racial prosperity and welfare of our people. Casting aside all feelings of bitterness, let us learn to forgive, so that the deep wounds, caused by this war. may be healed"
