East Providence.
At the meeting Of the Business Mems as
sociation last evening. II was clearly
demonstrated that the members were
heartily in favor OF making the fire de-
partment of the town a permanent one,
that is there should be at least two per-
ranent men at each fire station and as a
result. instead OF paying 2is per cent on a
5000 fire insurance, the rate would be re-
duced at least one-half and far better re-
suits would be attained.
II would appear that the citizens gen
orally do not take kindly 10 the Idea, hut
as one well known business man put it
this morning: "All that the council has
10 do Is TO order Il for we-meaning the
business men-should have had II 10 years

He also cited the needed improvements
at the town hall. which were done by the
council. and had this been asked for from

A SAD SCENE.
There was sad scene on the square
this morning when Patrolman Taggart
took into custody a woman from South
Water street who was very much under
the influence OF liquor and was very
quarrelsome. AS the patrolman led her TO
the station he and the woman were fol-
lowed by little girl who was about ten
years old. and she was crying bitterly at
seeing her mother under arrest But as
the woman would not heed the instruc-
tions given her by the patrolman, there
was nothing else for him TO do than to
arrest her.

Major Seely. ID. y. o.. tells a pa.

On one occasion during the war, Ma
jor Seely said. he was instructed to
get some volunteers and try to capture
a commandment ut farmhouse some 20
miles away. He got the men ready
and they set out. 1t was rather des.
perate enterprise. but they got to the
farmhouse all right, only to find. how
ever, that the elusive Boer had cleared
out In an unknown direction.
1T was vitality important that the
British force should get some infOrma.

Of the Beers catching them and not
they catching the BOer commandant.

replied: February, $433; March.

wife.

you see that during the first two
months he was calling on her our gas
bills remained normal. In the third
months there was a great rise, show
ing that he was late In leaving, and
this month there has been a decrease
In the expense. because they have
reached the point where they turn the
light low whenever they are in the

And that very night the prophetic
acumen of the father was justified.

pointed to II clump Of orange shrubs,

now too dark to see objects plainly ut
such distance. and Paul gave up the
search. But he was not easy. First.
he believed that the old slave had been
set to watch him. and IL Mari Laroon
had really come up from the brig then
there was something serious in the wind.
Mary ordered her attendants to pre-
pare supper In her own apartment. and
candles were brought and the meal was
served. Paul ate almost in silence. for
he was very uneasy. and he wished not
to force doubts upon his fair compan.
