con. life long friend and schoolboy
chum. Of Mr.. Stone was the best man.
The tokens OF love and esteem fitted
one large room. the greater portion OF
them being OF costly nature.
AS soon as the wedding ceremony had
been performed the young friends OF the
happy couple broke loose aftd-with the
assistance OF tho well known Fricker
Brothers band did their worst. so far as
music was concerned. for while they had
a number of musical instruments and
were in the hands OF capable artists. each
seemed to vie with the other in making
discord. and they certainly succeeded.
for such music waA ever heard in the
annexed district before
Nor was this all. for Mr.. and Mrs.
Stone knew well that the music would
not end at the house. so they made a
deal with a well known hack man to
steal them away from the crowd, but
the crowd would not be shaken on for
they had nearby a four-horse barge al
ready for action and when the carriage
containing the wedding party left the
house. the four-horse barge fled with
all sorts OF musical instruments, and an
abundance OF colored fires were on their
trail and they did not lose sight of them
until they landed them at the Union
station and then there was a shower OF
old shoes. rice and other articles used
upon occasions OF this character.
The serenaders returned home tired
and hoarse but happy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stone will be away for
about two weeks and during their alb
sence will visit New York. Philadelphia.
Washington and Baltimore and on their
return trip will stop at Danielson. where
Mr.. Stone was born.
They will make their home at 20 Sum-
NIT street. East Providence. Mr.. Stone Is
one OF the most expert electricians in
New England.

some In Velvet Gowns" appears 10 be
the best lines 10 use to describe the APP
pearance or The members or The Chaffee

and lieutenant OF the station were by no
means forgotten for they made their ap-
In new headgear that was bill /
ID to them al the rate OF $500 each. and |
while they sre not saying anything about

now IL is possible to get so much money |
nto cap and the only conclusion that
hey can arrive at is that Some one
needs the money"
Capt Rowe with his new $3.50 cap looks
more like an naval officer than he does
4 police captain, while IL he had been
allowed to have a little red. white and
blue plume In the $500. he might be |
taken for the leader OF cheap band
One old time patrolman told a friend |
this morning that to be a member OF the |
Providence police force was positive evil |
dence that one who wore the uniform |
was a rich man, for said he, "all that |
we do now s TO spend our spare moments
I'm getting fitted with caps, coats etc,
and II takes about all of the money we
can earn to keep up with the orders"
HAD PoLICEMAN's WHISTLE.
Those who happened to be on the
square at 1890 last evening thought that
they were going To see something out OF
the ordinary for an aged man stood at
the corner OF Westminster and stokes
streets and from an old-fashioned police
mans whistle sent out three sharp calls.
and this attracted crowd In minute
for nothing less than murder was look
ed for.
The old man waited n moment and
then said "If ] went down town and blew
that whistle there would be dozen po-
licemen at my side in moment" and he
had no sooner relieved himself OF this
little speech when Patrolman Kelly
came up behind him, and asked what he
wanted
The old man seemed pleased and said
1--WE been looking for you. for DR.. Cam
eron has lost dog and wants the police
TO find II"
Patrolman Kelly took out his book and
recorded the fact that DIR. Cameron had
lost a three-months' old Irish setter dog
and the item was given TO the newspa-
permen for publication.
TAXPAYERS OBJECT
The taxpayers along Harris avenue are
up in arms for they have been given
to understand that incadescent lights are
to be placed I'm commission on that thor
oughfare. and II such Is the case they
cay that they would as soon have the

The taxpayers claim that they have
been overlooked by all. for other than
putting the roadbed I'm a passable condi-
tion nothing has been done for them IN
years and as this ls one OF the most
used streets both Tor teams and pedes.
