Attractive Engine House.

AS neat and clean as a new pin is
the central fire station ON Duke of
Gloucester street. Quite metropol-
itan appearance has been taken on by
the station since the purchase of the
four horses. Their stalls are arranged
directly back of the fire engine and
in such a manner that the horses are
ready at a moments notice to be hitch
ed, to the apparatus of the house.
Their stalls are kept scrupulously
clean and they stand in serene content
ment awaiting the work for which
they were purchased. Chains are
stretched across eacE of the stalls and
these can be dropped at moments
warning to permit of the horses being
run to the equipment with which they
will be identified. Efforts are being
made to secure harness which, while
being serviceable upon the street clean
ing carts, will also serve for fire pur-
poses without making any change.

MISS BAGLEY A SUICIDE.
A Relative of Ensign Bagley End.
Her Life In New York.

Miss Mary Worth Bagley, 40 years
old, committed suicide yesterday at
her apartments in New York city.
She was a relative of Ensign Worth
Bagley, U. S. N, the first American
officer killed in the Spanish war. and
she was also a friend and protege of
Miss Helen Gould.
Miss BagIey came of an aristocratio

PEELED her TO seek other means of live
lihood.
She accepted a position as teacher
and interested herself in mission work.
Being highly educated and refined
she attracted the attention of Miss
Gould, who met her in her mission
duties, and the two became fast
friends. The woman's health failed
her and she was i'll for some time,
and on recovery was unable to obtain
employment as a teacher, so she be-
agn to make dresses for several of her
wealthy friends. Until two weeks
ago she had been doing work for a
Martha Washington Hotel patron,
whose payments, it is said. were slow.
Since that time she has been without
work.
She was found in her room lying on
the floor, her face turned toward
small gas stove which was turned ON
full and the windows stopped to pre-
vent gas from flowing out. The coro-
ner has the body. No address through
which her relatives could be reached
was found in the room.

Moreover, Judge Smith Intends to Re-
form Divorce Proceedings.
At the term Of the circuit court at
Woonsocket last week it was expected
that the divorce case of Viola Huston
and William Huston, both of whom
are prominent in Eastern society cir.
cles. would be tried. The case was
postponed by reason of Senator Kilt
redge's inability to get away from his
duties at Washington to appear for
his fair client. Inasmuch as the plead
ings Of both parties have been changed
to a considerable extent, it Is likely
that the case will not be tried now I'M
til tho next term Of court. Judge
Smith 10 gradually working around to
make 4 change in the issuance OF di-
vorces In his circuit. 1t has been the
custom heretofore to hear divorce
cases in chambers at most any time
the parties were ready to appear and
be released. 1t is the courts inten-
ton hereafter, as far ~ possible, until
the new rule will work efectually, to
only hear divorce cases at the regular
terms Of court. If Judge Smith puts
this rule into execution 1t will have a
tendency to curtail the number OF d-
yorces, in this circuit. At least -.

Estates Of Indians,

Good progress is being made by the
probate court Of Buffalo county In
closing up the estates OF deceased In
dams. Thus far about fifty such es-
tates have been closed up. Each es-
tate represents a tract Of land varying
from so to 800 acres, and as this will
be placed upon the market and sold
in the near future. its purchase by
white men will very materially benefit
the county in the way of taxes from
tracts which have heretofore been non
taxable. The probate court yet has
about nifty more such cases to close
up. The government sells the land for
the Indians, the procedure being for it
to be first appraised, after which the
proper representatives Of the govern.
ment receive sealed bids for Its pur-
chase.
