WILL ABOLISH GRADE CROSSINGS
Railroad Commissioners of New
Hampshire Make a Decision of
Great Importance to the People Of
North WaIpoIe.


Great Importance to the People Of
North WaIpole.
The question between the citizens of
North Walpole and the Boston 81 Maine
railroad as to the future arrangement
of the six crossings in the village, to best
accommodate the rapidly growing needs
of the village, has been under discussion
for a year or two and now seems to be
practically settled by a recent decision of
the board of railroad commissioners of
New Hampshire. Although their decis-
ion has not as yet been given in writ
ing 1t is stated by them that they have
agreed upon ordering that the grade
crossings be wholly abolished and In
their place two under passes for teams
and two sub-ways for foot passengers be
substituted This plan will do away
with all the grade crossings in the vii
lage, including what is known as the
"Dutchmn's' at the extreme north end.
At River street just at the north end
of the iron bridge at the first crossing Is
to be an underpass for teams, the de-
preston of street for which, in order to
reach a depth of 16 feet below the rails,
will have to extend back a long distance
on each side and will be similar to the
new underpass at Westminster station.
Next north of this on Merchant street is
to be subway for foot passengers five
feet wide only. and another similar one
between School and Elm streets at the
north end of the coal bins The other
underpass for teams will be located about
40 rods south of the present Dutch
mans" crossing, which is to be abolished
and the above mentioned underpass used
wholly for the main road crossing be-
tween here and Charlestown. and the
regular street crossings of the village be-
sides.
The citizens feel they have not secured
as good a compromise as they hoped for,
but are obliged to be satisfied with the
result At the hearing before the board
of commissioners at Manchester the vii
lage was represented by James Barrett
and w. II. Kiniry, while the town was
represented by Selectman Holland and an
attorney from Nashua.
Work will be begun upon the extern
sive changes as soon as possible in the
spring and is expected to last all sum
mer. When completed the railroad will
probably close the iron bridge across the
Connecticut to foot passengers, keeping
pedestrians off their premises wholly.
This will again force the question of a
new free highway bridge across the riv-
er at some point above the present rail-
road bridge, which is sure to come with
in the next few years in some form, and
which has been hoped for and discussed a
long time.

GRAFTON.
Successful Dramatic Production.

Grafton has always enjoyed amateur
theatricals and Il has every reason to be
proud of the long line of successful plays
which have revealed great deal of
clever, even brilliant acting. especially
in the days of w. d. Howells's comedies.
The farce entitled Me and Otis" given
for the benefit of the Grange last Friday
evening, entertained large audience.
which, in turn, gave generous praise.
The remarkably good acting more than
compensated for the shortcomings of
the play itself Several parts were done
with a naturalness rarely found in pro-
fessional productions, owing to the nee
essarily different methods required by a
larger stage. The scenery as well as
the music. which was furnished by
Clark's orchestra. was notably good. The
cast included Miss Stowell Miss Blod-
gett. Miss French. Miss Thompson. Miss

the demurrer to the application OF A. C.

The ground upon which the demurrer

How to Help tn. Fallen.

"Icy pavements are now with us,i~
said a Camden man. "and women ar'
beginning to fall frequently. Do you
know the right way to help them up?
l ask you this because l see all about
me in the winter time PROSTATE women
and men making monkeys of them and
of themselves by offering help that is
not helpful For instance, down goes
young woman. A young man rushes
to her, and, standing before her, takes
both her hands Then he pulls. but
since she has nothing to brace her feet
against, instead of rising to the pull
she slides along in an undignified way.
Another woman falls and the man who
runs to her gives her his hand She
takes it, so as not to hurt his feelings.
but it is a hindrance to her instead of
a help for, unless she Is being actually
lifted up, she needs both her hands in
rising-one to arrange her skirts with,
the other to, press on the pavement as
a kind of lever. The proper way to as
sist a woman to her feet" said the
Camden man, according to the Phila-
delphia Record "is to stand before her,
saying with smile and a soothing
gesture Remain perfectly still,
please, and then step gallantly to the
rear, put your hands under her arms
and raise her with a firm grip"

Mr.. HILLS SPEECH.

David B. Hills speech at the
decorate club celebi alton in New
York Monday night was entertain
ing but not particularly enlighten
ing. The most interesting feature
was the fact that he spoke to the
democratic club at all. He has not
affiliated with the organization for
number OF years and his presence
here may be taken as an indication
that he desires to practice the har-
mony he breaches. Mr.. Hill cov>
cred generally the same ground as
Henry WatterSon and If the truth
must be told. he didn't cover it
nearly SO well He simply follow>

blazed

remarks is worthy of careful con,

most critical period of its existence

twice before giving up the reins.
Some sacrifices are not only de-
srabl,., but absolutely necessary on
both sides ii the democrats hope to
carry the fall elections. 1t surely
is possible, though, for the leaders
to find common ground on which
they can all stand. AS Mr. Wat
terson and Mr. Hill have both said
there are numerous igns of the

LORE OF WEDDING RINGS.
Typify Eternity and Indicate Stability
of Union of Persons


Attached to the use of the ring in
wedding and other ceremonies from
the earliest times there have been
mystic meanings. Whether the plain
band or the motto-inscribed article
which the changing times brought
into fashion, the ring has retained it's
significance attached to 1t as a sacred
emblem or an emblem typifying sacred
ceremonies. To the devoutly religious
or th0 ~-'-'oss scoffer at religion the
littl, 81. c. has it's charm.
So-eiIn betrothal by means of the
ring often preceded matrimony in the
the middle ages and was sometimes
adopted between lovers who were
about to separate for long periods.
Shakespeare has more than once al
luded to the custom which is abso-
lutely enacted in his Two Gentlemen
of Verona" where Julia gives Porteus
ring, saying: Keep you this re-
membrance for thy yulia's sake" and
he replies: why, then, Wen make
exchange. Here. take you this" The
fourth finger of the left hand has from
long usage been consecrated to the
wedding ring, from an ancient belief
that from this finger a nerve went to
the heart.-Chicago Chronicle.

Connecticut has lately been cons

although i'll former years 1t was

shows that it may be possible to
swing il again into the democratic
column. In other cities the same
condition has been made manifest
and the outlook generally is suffi-

political comp exion of the lower
