1t is a novel experience for the
Sheriff of Kent County to expose for
sale the property of railroad COM
pany, though such sale has fallen to
Sheriff Frank Reedy. The property,
both real and personal, of the Smyrna

advertised for sale on Saturday, July
5, at Smyrna, and will be sold to salts
fly a claim of 100000, held by the

THEIR SOCIAL NEEDS
Those Of the Wage Farmers Discussed
by Rev. Raymond Calkins,
y Pittsfeld, Mass.
He Says the Municipality Must in
Part at Least Provide
for Them.

Rev. Raymond Calkins, pastor Of the
Pilgrim Congrega tional church Of Pitts
field, Mass, who has become prominent In
the field Of social economics by his writ
tngS and utterances, in an article, pub
Nshed recently in the New York Independ-
ent took up the question Of the social
needs Of the American wage earners and
how they are to be supplied From this
article the following extracts are made:
"a considerable portion Of this work be-
longs properly not to private beneficence.
but to the municipality. Indeed, as the
civic conscience is developed, 1t will feel
more and more its responsibility in max
ing provision for the social needs Of its
wage earning population. And it will

peace, morality and happiness of the COM
munity. Private philanthropy will never
leave this ideal Of ultimate municipal con
troll out Of the mind. 1t will conceive that
its function lies in carrying certain enter
prtses, which properly belong to the mu-
nicipality, through the experimental
stages, thus proving their value and i'm
portance. Then 1t will expect the city to
assume the control and the expense.
Among the enterprises which clearly
belong to the municipality, and which
promise large results, is the use, for social
purposes, Of the school buildings The
idea is obtaining wide currency in our
day that these buildings are not being
used as they might; that If they were pro
vided with an assembly hall and were
thrown open in the evening for public
lectures, for the use Of such clubs an6
societies as should make application anC
should give sufficient guarantees of goot
order, a step Of great Importance would be
taken. The school houses are public prop

GET SHORTER DAY
Manufacturing Jewellers Are Granted a
New Schedule.

The manufacturing Jewellers of Mime
apolis made demand for fewer hours in
their day Of work and new schedule for
overtime. The demand was submitted
Wednesday and seven out of the eight
employers signed without hesitation.
About year ago the manufacturing
jewelers. of the city formed a union, but
little had been done by them. Recently
the movement was started to get shorter
hours and extra pay for overtime. The
men had been working 81 hours per week
and they wanted the time cut to So hours.
For overtime they demand 1-3 time with
double time for Sunday and holidays
Their demands were readily complied
with About thirty-f1ve men are affected
by the change.

Carrier Appreciated.

The patrons on rural route No. a.
appreciate the conveniences of having
their mail delivered every day. They
show their appreciation in a way that
makes the carrier, Garfield Willis, re-
ioice. 1t is not an unusual thing for
him to find bushel of corn or some
apples waiting for him when he drives
up to the mail box. 1t is a nice way
of returning the favor that is often
rendered by the carrier when he takes
package or delivers a message. The
government recommends that carriers
make charge for such service realiz-
ing that the pay given them by the
government is very small, and it is
no more than right that extra service
rendered should be compensated for
by some sort of pay. 1t is a small
thing to spare oushel of corn, oats OF
potatoes but it means considerable to

CRUISER CINCINNATI WINS.
Contest of Speed Between Vessels of

Contest OF SpceQ Between vSSSStS VI
North Atlantic Fleet.
San Juan, P. l., Nov. 22.-Carrying
a great white bone in it's teeth, and
with phosphorescent spray dashing
high up on It's sharp bows, the cruiser
Cincinnati forged abreast of Culebra
light at midnight last night, a winner
in the greatest ocean race of warshlps
ever run on the north Atlantic sea-
board.
Nearly two miles astern of the
cruiser flashed the white searchlight
of the battleship Alabama. 1t had dis
tanced all it's rivals of the heavyweight
class and had shown it's quality by
putting up hammer and tongs strug-
gle all the way from Hampton Roads
with the feet-footed cruiser.
One by one it had left behind the
little gunboat Machias, the Indiana of
Santiago fame, the new battleship
Kearsarge, it's own particular rival
and last of all, the plucky Massachu'
sets, sister ship of the Oregon. That
the comparatively old Massachusetts
was a stronger competitor than the
Kearsarge is one of the surprises Of
the race.
That the Alabama came in so close
! a second to the fast commerce de
stroyer Cincinnati, even though the
cruiser had been handicapped thirty
five miles at the start, is supert
performance for first class battle
ship heavily armed.

SUICIDE THEORY NOT SUSTAINED
American Doctors Examine the Body
of Mrs. Ellen Gore

Paris Nov. 26.-The independent
postmorlem examination over the re.
mains of Mrs. Ellen Gore by the com.
mission of four American doctors ap-
pointed by Consul General Gowdy, at
the instance of the state department
at Washington, was made yesterday at
the morgue. 1t tended to establish
the fact that Mrs. Gore did not commit
suicide.
The American doctors found that the
bullet entered the pupil of the right
eye, cutting the lower eyelid and
emerging in the rear of the right side
of the head at less than half an inch
elevation from the point of entry. The
body bore no marks of struggle ant
there were no powder marks at the
entrance of the wound.

T. II. Kilworth residing one-half
mile south of town, one day last
week presented his three daughters
Mrs. F. B. Hamlin, Mrs. O.C.Wheel-
er and Mrs. Bruce Martin, each, a
beautiful handsomely engraved
gold watch, with which the ladies
were highly pleased. Coming as a
gift from their aged father they
will be treasured as keepsakes
which money cannot buy.
