TOWNS SOLD AT AUCTION.
English Village Disposed OF to the
4 Highest Bidder to Cancel
Its Debts.

II is not often that an entire village
comes under the hammer to be sold
by auction tor debt, but such an event
has recently been exciting the folk OF
North Essex, where the village OF High
Garrett-comprising several farms, the
village schools. residences, the post
Office, shops and all the cottages
were so disposed OF, reports the Lou
don Illustrated Mail The property
that was under sale is known locally as
''the High Garrett estate" and at one
time belonged to the late Samuel
Courtauld, founder of the firm in
Braintree, in whose mills the silk and
silk crepe are produced that has made
the name of Courtauld so famous. In
Brajntree itself and the neighboring
villages the name of Courtauld is al
most a household word, for the bene-
factions of the family have b3en many
and on all sides can be seen evidences
of their generosity.
The village is we'll situated on the
high road from Braintree to Halstead
about three miles from the former
and about four from the latter.
There is little of interest in the place
to attract the visitor, excepting the
schools, which were built for the vii
lage folk by the late Samuel Court
auld about SO years ago. Great inter-
est was shown in the sale of the estate,
which was offered in twenty lots, and
the bidding was brisk, good prices
being realized. All but two of the lots
were sold. AS 1t was property to the
value of over, $4,000 changed hands.
The principal lots sold and the prices
realized were as follows: The Garrett
farm, comprising about 1S5 acres, resi-
dence and the usual agricultural prem
Uses, G3,367. The Sloughhouse farm,
As acres and premises, 9635; Pear Tree
farm, 80 acres and premises, e2,O95;
Sunnyf1elds-a residence with pleasure
grounds, carriage-houses and farm
cry. the whole embracing about 16
acres, e1.T2O. General shop and post
Office, G45O The cottages fetched
prices varying from 845 to &137 each
The unsold lots were: The village
schools, which were bought in at
$500. The Hare and Hounds inn, the
only licensed house in the place. This
is quite a modern building and in the
wall on the front is inserted an old
bas-relief illustrative of it's name. The
bids for this did not reach the reserve
and the lot was withdrawn at e1.SOO.
The inn is still for sale and $4,000 is
given as the price at which it can be
purchased. There were also one or
two small lots remaining unsold at the
time, but they were subsequently dis
posed of. The total acreage of land
embraced by this sale was about S56
acres.

other day, according to the Philadelphia
Telegraph. Several years ago was
managing a company. doing standard
and Shakespearean plays in cities OF the
middle west One day a young man
beardless, dignifed, with all the marks
of rural training-came up to me in the
corridor of a hotel in little Indiana
town. He wanted to act, and wanted
it badly.
What have you played?', 1 asked
him.

the Crescentville literary lyceum

How little the medical women Of to-

Wonderful Clock,

The Grand Palais in Paris possesses
wonderful clock, which was shown in
the Paris exhibition of 1855. 1t was the
work of Collin, and has just been over
hauled. 1t is claimed for this chef
d'oeuvre, says the Debats, that it does
not vary more than the hundredth part
of a second in year. 1t is four and
half meters in height, and indicates the
time in the IL chief cities of the world,
each city having it's own dial. The clock
not only marks the year, month and day
of the week. but its pendulum forms a
barometer of singular precision.

Drawing Music from a Bottle.

With any glass tube whatever it is
possible to easily reproduce the song of
a bird. 1t suffices to rub the tube length
wise with a piece of wet cork. In order
to initiate the song of bird, the cork
must be moved with varying rapidity,
now slowly, now rapidly, and abrupt
stoppages must intervene. The expert
ment can be made more simply by rub

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Elsewhere in this issue The Wage
worker prints that portion of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message which relates
to organized labor and it's correlated
policies. Every workingman in the
country, union or non-union, should
read this portion of the message, al
least. President Roosevelt has spoken
words of wisdom and of counsel which
union men should read and heed. He
voices a sentiment of friendship for
organized labor without going to the
extreme of the professional politician
seeking to curry favor with labor by
undue praise of labor and rabid denun-
citation of capital. He points out with
Characteristic clearness that labor
unions are not infallible and not above
the law, but that they owe duty to
themselves as well as to society at
large, the duty of obeying the law and
refraining from the use of brute force
to accomplish their ends.
In speaking of unions in the federal
service President Roosevelt doubtless
bookbinder. Sober and thoughtful
union men will agree that President
Roosevelt's position on that matter was
correct. and that the bookbinders i'll

shop at Washington have steered cleai.
of that rock, and yet they have man.
aged to keep their part OF it thoroughly
uniOnized.
But President Roosevelt is especial
l.. pleasing to union men and women in
his discussion of child labor. He has
gone further and said mere in oppo-
sition to child labor than any other
president, and he shows by his re-
marks that he realizes the danger to
the republic in the constant growth
Of this evil. Child labor IS a growing
menace to the country-more SO than
trusts. or imperialism, or militarism
Ii is of more importance that it should
be regulated and practically abolished
than that the tariff should be revised
The children of today are the citizens
of tomorrow, and if they be forced by
industrial conditions to grow up in ig
norance all hope of industrial OF ecol-
omic reforms is gone. it is only b.
educating the future citizens that We
may hope to solve the grave problems
OF tariff and trusts and foreign po'icy.
AS whole the message IS entitled 70
high rank as a state paper. The presi-
dent discusses questions never before
discussed in presidential message.
and because he has dealt SO thoroughly
with the question of labor The Wage
worker is quite willing to overlook his
failure to discuss the question OF tariff
revision.
