The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1903-07-22

At noon time yesterday II looked as u
war I'm Shoe Fly village was inevitable
for what is known as the Morgan syndi'
cate had been disturbed. Strange as II
may seem, but II is fact nevertheless
that there are three families in the VII
lage who dwell together in peace and mar
mony and In fact are the 400. Those
who are barred from the society or TINS
combination which Is known as the MOT
gan syndicate are not slow In telling
others the vices and failings OF the selec'
set.
This syndicate have what they call the
..Joy Line" as an auxiliary. and this con-
sists OF an old tin pail that will hold al
least one gallon of beer. Until Monday
this line ran from the office of the syndi-
cate 20 a saloon on Valley street, but
new barkeeper was put on Monday and
the first thing that he did TO save money
xor the Boss" was TO cut down the guam
tity OF beer sold In pals.
Among the many pals that went with
the saloon on that day was the JOY
Line" and when the messenger returned
to the office OF the syndicate a special
meeting was held and IL was voted then
and there that the Morgan syndicate was
bound 10 have the best and most for It's
cash and that the Valley street saloon In
the future would be ostracized.
The president OF the syndicate asked
what this big word meant and was told
in plain words by the secretary that IL
meant that the saloon had cut down the
quantity OF beer and that the line would
cease To run into that port any longer.
An emissary was at once sent out to
find a new port OF entry and one was es-
tablished on Perry street, when the beer
10 nd Ia
quantity was secured for the money.
The special commissioner loaded the
vessel and started for the office of the
syndicate and just as she was entering
the village via Eden street a couple OF
those who were outside OF the syndicate
held up the enissary and proceeded al
once TO unload the craft which they did,
when the looted convoy reached the office
not one OF the august body would believe
Q word that fell from the lips OF the ennis
sary.
The bold highwaymen were added very
materially in the particular location
from the fact that the little cottage that
was removed from Branbridge avenue tc
make room for the new parochial school
hid there from view
In the future the emissary will bC
guarded with no less than four trusty
members OF the syndicate and no doubt
death will be the penalty OF the next per.
son who dares TO hold up the craft OF this
popular line
NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
There is lady resident OF this place
who in the future will spend her summer
vacation at the seashore OF mountains in
stead OF calling upon her school chums IN
another city. She went 10 Boston. and
here she was nearly roasted by the ex.
ceesive heat. She remained here two
days, and then went TO New Bedford
That day was the hottest OF all When

went into the visitors room and stole
one OF a 81 pair OF shoes. At this she
made an effort to drive the "doggie" out
so she was obliged 10 take matters easy
and wait until the dog got ready 10 go
which was not for three hours
The next morning her shoe was rount
on the sidewalk and then she came e
the conclusion that she would go 10 heI
