upright cases from the museum g
break the length Of the room. These
are covered with draperies that make
effective backgrounds for some of the
wood and leather work.

see. 1t includes several by the Min
neapolis binder, Miss Edith Griffith,

Crescent Park yesterday afternoon,
Charles Kennedy. "a years old. living at
90 knight street and lineman for the
Narragansett Electric Lighting company,
passed through an experience that few
men have survived TO relate. He re-

At the time OF the accident, Kennedy
was seated upon several wires suspended
from a pole at the southerly end OF the
park within the steepechase enclosure.
He was engaged in repairing and putting
UP wires. In attempting a change OF
position IL is thought probable that he
touched a portion OF bare wire above
him and turned the powerful current or
1000 volts coursing through his body. The
bolt entered his right hand below the
third Joint OF the first finger, burning a

Kennedy was thoroughly convinced OF
the miraculous nature OF his escape and
declared that he had no further use for

was back at his job, probably from sheer
force OF habit.
He was formerly in the service OF the
