Richard Golden, one of the fore
most of English politicians of the
last century. was born at Midhurst
in 1904. In lS34-35 he travelled ex-
tensively in Turkey. Greece and
Egypt, and also visited the United
States The result Of his travels APP
peared in several pamphlets in which
he ridiculed the workings of diplo-
sion to be the avoidance Of war and
the extension of commerce. To his
lectures all over the country and his
speeches in parliament Uo which he
was returned in 1S4D were in great
part due the abolition Of the corn
laws at SO early a period as 1876.
Golden spoke out strongly in favor
of the north during the American
civil war and always stood up as a
staunch friend of the United States.

FOSSIL WEYMOUTH
IS BEHIND

Estimates on appropriations for
the various city departments are to
be completed within the next few
days and then submitted by the
comptroller to the finance committee
of the city council. Most Of the de-
partments have prepared estimates
which have gone to the comptroller,
who Is awaiting the action of the
tardy ones.
AS usual, the water department is
far behind. and the comptroller is un-
able to secure any satisfaction from
the fossilized head of that depart
ment. Weymouth has been repeat
edly asked to make up his estimates,

This money goes to the corporation
and the work done is so unsatisfac-

last month seriously considered the
plan to abrogate the contract.
Four steam sprinklers can be put
on for $400 month and the work
done is much more satisfactory than
the careless surface work of the

Because of this the board Of public
