e. D. Burke and H. W. Blood have
commenced the manufacture of novel
and simple lamp shade called The Little
Gem Wonder, at 80 Eastern avenue, in
the rooms formerly occupied by F. A.
Balch. The shade is made ftin and by
an ingenious wire device it is easily ad-
Unstable to any position on lamp CHM
ney. A patent has been applied for and
already there has been good sale. W.
H. Blood and Mr.. Burke are acting as
selling agents.
F. 0. Clark has on exhibition and for
sale at his store some color reproductions
of great paintings that are great triumphs
of modern printing. They are perfect not
only in drawing, but in every tint and
color. The process recently perfected is
known as tri.chromatic printing and
their value to students and lovers of art
is easily understood. The collection must
be seen to be appreciated and the oppor-
tunity to secure perfectly colored repro
ductions of the work of masters in art at
81 90 and $1,25 is one that ought to ap-
peal to many.
Correspondents take liberties with
the spelling of ones name sometimes,
especially if the name is not so simply
formed as to obviate any difficulty in
spelling it. But it isn't often we find a
man whose CORES pondence reveals forty
four different ways of spelling him" in
letters and on envelopes. W. 0. Roche
leau of this village, however, has had
just this experience; but, up to the pres
ent writing, he has not discovered among
the forty-four ways of writing it any
combination that suits him better than
the one to which he has been accustomed
since he started out in life.
Work on remodeling the Avenue
House is progressing rapidly, and in a
short time Mr. Caldbeck will have every
thing ready for some good landlord to
open the house. The first plans concern
ing the hotel office have been changed
somewhat and as now arranged every
thing will be above the ground floor, ex
cept a spacious entrance on Railroad
street, leading to the elevator and stairs
This entrance will be fitted with tile foo
and wainscoting. The walls Throughout
the house have been tinted in soft shade
and the wood work will be entirely r.
finished.
The south end of the railroad yard
now safeguarded by system of sema
phores, a double one controlling the en-
trance to the yard on both the st. J. 8
L. c. and B. & M. lines, and one on eacl
track controls outgoing trains. Th
semaphore is the most approved sigma
system now in use. They are worked
from one signal station, by an ingenious
arrangement of levers, and the mechan
ism prevents any possibility OF mistak
on the part of the switchman. The sys
tenn was installed by Boston workmei
under the direction of M. Sutherland o
that city.
Rev. M. c. Henderson has accepted
an invitation to deliver a memorial ser
mon before Quimby Post, of Barton, al
South Barton, on Memorial Sunday. II
is interesting to note in this connection
that Mr.. Henderson officiated at th'
funeral of the gallant soldier for whom
the post was named, Captain George W
Ouimby, of Co. D. 4th Vermont, who en-
listed from Barton, and was killed a
Fredericksburg, while acting as major
Capt. Quimby was native OF Lyndoi
and was buried there. Mr.. Henderson
has preached memorial sermons betor
this post three times.
The captain of the local corps state
!. that the Salvation Army throughou
this territory is now engaged in prepar
. ing for the annual "self denial week.
/ The amount the army desires to raise i
, the territory is $25, 900, which will b
) divided among the army's homes an
l shelters for the poor and outcast, poi
ton of it going to missionary wor
5 among the heathen. Those who are az
e quainted with the work done by th
army along these lines know that til
t money given is spent in a good caus
e and we hope that people here may /
generous in their contributions,
