Historic Cannon to Be Sold.

Historic Cannon to Be Sold.
The old muzzle loading cannon that
protected Boston harbor in the days
of the Confederacy are to be put up
to auction by the federal government
and sold to the highest bidder. At
one time Fort Independence, on Castle
Island, where the guns were placed,
was considered impregnable. That
was in the days of the oaken battle
ship, when a shot would pillow through
the hull, but with the advent Of the
steelclad sea monsters the old guns
became harmless.
When the Confederate forces began
to prey on Yankee shipping interests
on the high seas, rumor gained cred
ence that Boston was to be made the
object of an organized attack, which
would bring into action most OF the
largest and powerful ships of the
Southerners. People fed from the
city in alarm and TOOK refuge behind
the hills at Arlington.
Shops were closed and men walked
the streets with anxious faces. almost

The nomination of Levi II. Stands
of Canton, for sheriff by the Prohibi-
ton party will make the fight still
more complicated and is expected to
operate against Frank Mckinney, the
Republican nominee. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Stands will look around a
little among his friends with view to
getting a nice complimentary vote. He
is very popular among temperance
workers and church people and has a
wide acquaintance in some sections OF
the county. Many Republicans who
would not vote the Democratic ticket
are expected to support Mr.. Stands,
thus weakening Mckinney.

A NOTABLE PHILANTHROPY

NJ Chauchard. head of the Magasins
du Louvre in Paris, has handed over
his superb property at Versailles for
the benefit of all his employees who can
show at least twenty-five years SER
vice, and do not receive more thai
$500 a year. The immense park has
been divided into los lots, SO as to in
sure to each meritorious servant a
holding of about 900 square yards. The
land is given free, and the employees
can erect houses to their liking. So
pleased are they with the gift that a
building society has been formed, and
it is expected that by October little
coloney will be well started. A small
castle occupies a place on the estate,
and this will be converted into small
fats for the accommodation of aged
bachelors.

Fast Time VersuC Life and
Limb.

Canton is to be congratulated upon
the fact that the board of public SAT-
ETY. will, through the police depart
ment, enforce The ordinances regu-
lating the speed at which automobiles
street cars and steam cars run in the
city limits. In the past these ordin-
ances have been set at defiance by
chauffeurs, motormen and engine driv-
ers. The result has been that every
few weeks some life is sacrificed, and
even more frequently citizens of the
city, who have superior rights upon
the streets and crossings are run down
and seriously injured.
Automobiles dash through the
square and other densely populated
sections of the city at high rate OF
speed, compelling pedestrians to make
violent eXertion at times to escape be-
ing run over. The street cars, under
a fast schedule, run at such high
rate of speed that they cannot be con-
trolled when an emergency arrives.
They are usually stopped after the
victim is under the fender or wheels
or hurled to one side with great vio-
lence. Actual experience has demon
strated that the tenders used are set
too high above the rails to be of any
benefit in case of an accident, and this
section of the ordinance which calls
for approved tenders should be en-
forced likewise. But few of the cars
have any tenders at all.
AS to the speed of the railway trains
within the city limits, the number of
tragedies are proof ample. The court
dockets are filled with uamage suits
against both the steam and electric
companies, and the charge is always
made and generally sustained in the
courts that the engine or car which
figured in the accident was running at
an unlawful rate of speed.
The claim may be made that if the
street cars are compelled to run more
slowly that they cannot make schedule
time If it is absolutely necessary to
have a car every ten minutes, let the
company put on more cars. 1t would
certainly be cheaper than to be killing
and injuring people so frequently and
settling or defending damage cases in
the courts. AS to automobiles, life and
limb are vastly more sacred than
minute or two more of time consumed
in going to and from an Office or in
making the rounds of the city either
for business or pleasure.
The authorities will find strong
public sentiment back of them if the
law is enforced to the letter.

him to some place where he could get

The man lay in the ambulance at Mil
