EAST PROVIDENCE OFFICER
PRESENTS RESIGNATION

At the meeting Of the town council OF
East Providence last evening the resigna-
tion OF Patrolman John Hennessey was
one OF the most important matters consid-
cred
on December 23d. the officer was sus-
pended by Chief Adams pending a hearing
on charges made by two women whose
names were withheld.
Affldavlts were fled with Chief Adams
ny the women. The charges. IL Is said. be-
ing OF serious nature. the chief at once
suspended the patrolman.
Patrolman Hennessey was one OF the
new officers appointed by the town coun-
ell following the election. and the present
alton OF charges against him caused no
little surprise among the younger element
OF tho town. to whom he fs we'll known
and among whom he has many friends.
His resignation last evening was still
more a surprise. To friends he stated last
evening that he could have cleared HIM
self OF the charges. but rather than re-
ceive the notoriety that public hearing
would entail he preferred 10 resign.
The resignation was accepted by the
council and. a. far as the town fathers
are concerned tho incident IL closed.

Good Health says that in old age
both the aptitude for exeEeise and the
ability to execute muscular movements
are very considerably diminished. The
capacity and activity of the heart and
lungs are lessened. also the ability to
recuperate from exhaustion. There is.
moreover. u marked tendency to con-
secutive or secondary fatigue. form
of exhaustion which is not expert
enced at the time OF exercise. but is
felt to marked degree a day or two
subsequently. An old person feels
the fatigue Of an effort more than
twenty. -four or forty-eight hours az
terward than he does at the time; con-
sequently he is likely to go beyond
the proper limit in the expenditure Of
muscular energy before he is aware
of the fact that he has done so. Ell
derby persons should always bear this
in mind when engaging in physical ex-
ercise especially those who have not
all their lives been used to active mus
cular pursuits.

WISE WORDS.

Our obscurity is Gods opportunity.

Pharisaism is known by Its phrases,

Gods power depends on no ple1scitc.
Honor is TIE first element In honesty.
A sore head is sign of n shallow

Setbacks are often the secret OF sue

To reject the bad is to receive the
good.
The supernatural is not prefer

Better an honest Lazarus than size

Only small man is satisfied with Il

Most people are caught by sin trying
to take the bait without the hook
There may be wiser worlds where

The Hungarian crisis which threat
ems the integrity Of the Austrian En-
pire has risen solely from the demands
of the Hungarians that the Hungar-
i'm language should be used In giving
commands to Hungarian troops. The
Austrians assert that the Hungarian
language df command would destroy
the unity of the Austro Hungarian
army. The Hungarian rejoinder ~
that German should he used In com
mufiication between regimenthl COM
mauders and their superior officers.
but that from the colonel downward
Hungarian should be used. This " the
custom now In regiments with ma
jority OF Magyars In them, as it Is the
custom to use Polish in tile Polish
regiments and Croatian In the Croat
regiments. The point is made by the
Hungarians that an officer cannot
cheer on his men in language they
cannot understand, but he must be
able to use the language of his men,
be it German. Hungarian. Czech
Croat, Ruthenion. Slovak, Roumanlan
or Italian. OF such diverse elements
is the Austrian army composed.
