Saturdays rain was about the most
satisfying of anything we have had for a
long time. 1t rained steadily all day,
until over two fnches had fallen. Moth
ing could have been more welcome, as it
was beginning to look like drought.
Saturdays rain compelled a second
pOstponement of the Odd Fellows pic
mic. There was no need of giving any
notice of postponement-the weather at
tended to that all right. And that Odd
Fellows Masons ball game is still in the
air.

wv. Brown of Hartford, CT, a Social
list orator, addressed small audience,
mounted on dry goods box in the
Square, Friday evening. Mr.. Brown is
good looking man with gift of speech
evidently bestowed by ancestors from
the Emerald Isle. He has good voice,
which he used for about an hour and a
half, with very ready command of Ian
guage, while occasional lapses of gram
mar served to give piquancy to his re-
marks. In general way his address,
which covered wide range, was devot-
ed to review of the changed conditions
which the introduction of labor saving
machinery has made with the laboring
man. While machinery has largely in
creased the product of labor, he says,
the laborer has not received his share OF
the increase. and the organization OF
great trusts and monopolies, controlling
the necessaries of life, has concentrated
x,aalth in fha hands of few.
