OLMEYv|LLE.

morning and old home week was cele-
brated yesterday.
No social event Is an event without
the presence OF the mayor of Shoe Fly.
John Dowd, and 1t is apt to be more Of
a celebration when his consort, Mrs.
Mary Ann Dowd. lends her presence to
the festive occasion.
on Saturday evening then. there was
gathering Mt the home of Bill Cam
eron, 100 Shoe Fly, but Mrs. Cameron
wanted TO be queen of the ball and most
strenuously objected TO the presence OF
Mrs. Dowd and Mrs. Dowd. in her lady
like fashion. proceeded TO show Mrs.
Cameron that she was the only queen
that had any license 10 rule In Shoe Fly.
and rule she would. Mrs. Cameron
claimed that Mrs. Dowd could he queen
Of her own castle. but when she came 10
her home. she would be the main lady
of state. or know the reason why; and
Mrs. Dowd then showed Mrs. Cameron
why she should not be the queen.
There was a spy al the gathering for
some one left the village and few mo-
ments after his departure Sergeant Pot
ter and Patroman Bugbee entered the
house and that without any invitation.
When the two unlimited policemen took
their departure. Mayor Dowd went with
them and a little later the mayor had
q snug little room to himself at the Chat
fee Street station.
All were sorry that the mayor had TO
leave and Mr.. Cameron was made COM
mlttee to go TO the Chaffee Street sta
tion and learn why the mayor remained
away so long. and the police, thinking
that the mayor might be lonesome, In
being so far away from home. kindly
asked Mr. Cameron II he would wait, and
keep company with the mayor.
Mr. Cameron informed the police that
the celebration would not proceed with
out him, but he was told that the hour
was late and the celebration should end.
So Cameron was also escorted to snug
little room.
1t was simply q kindly thought OF
Lieutenant Tyler. but he suggested to
Sergeant Potter that so long as the
mayor and Mr.. Cameron were their
and Cameron would be delighted to keep
company with them. and the sergeant
being only too willing 10 add 10 the
pleasure OF their illustrious guests made
a second trip to Shoe Fly, but found
that Queen Dowd had taken her de-
parture.
Mrs. Cameron was engaged in clearing
up the wreck, when the sergeant and
Patrolman Feeney called and she cannot
understand how the police got her out
side OF her castle, for she is quite as
well posted on the matter of police rules
as some OF the police commissioners, but
she either fell or was pushed into the
street, and was then the guest OF the po-
lice.
Yesterday morning the trio squared ac-
counts with the police court and yester-
day afternoon and evening In a very mod
est way celebrated their home coming.
RUMORS OF MILL CHANGES.
Those well posted in mill matters say
that there is something due to drop
soon .or number of well known mill
men, who left this place ON the advent OF
the American Woolen company are In
the vicinity and the indications are that
so far as Olneyville Is concerned, the AM
erican Woolen company will soon be
thing of the past, and none will be more
pleased when the date of their departure
arrives than the business men.
Perhaps one of the most prominent
signs OF this happy day is the appoint
ment OF Richard. better known as
"Dck" Owens as overseer OF the Taft &
Weeden mills weaving department and
that some OF the old tried and true work
men. who have been dismissed to make
room for cheaper men, have been told
that there may be bright days in store
for them yet.
The story goes that the American
Wooden company is desirous OF getting
rid of their interests at this place, for
while all the independent mills are run
ming overtime. More than half of these
looms are idle and Il is a well known fact
that no better mills exist than those own
ed by the company here. Buyers have
lost all confidence In the management or
the concern, for no good workman viii
remain in the employ of the company II
he can find employment elsewhere
