For day or two men In the employ u
the city have been in this vicinity posuhs
signs. requesting citizens not 10 spit on '"e
sidewalk in~s I, nowhere except III
snitbox or down a sewer. and this has
been brought 20 the attention OF some Oh
the citizens. who do not smoke or che"
tobacco. what an opportunity they had II
they had only taken advantage OF H.
since this has become a law to s'ahd III
front OF the mills in the morning or at
noontime, and get evidence against nun
dreds OF men who enjoy their smoke up
4o the last ding OF the bell OF the mill.
An anti-spitting committee could pick
,,n saD cases nv the armfull. and III the
conditions were as they are In some cases
where the informant gets one halt or INC
fine, they could add at least three more
seats TO the $4,000 park OF this place ana
no doubt but what they could get quite
rake off any day by happening along In
front OF either OF the many mills mere
even at this late day. for many or the
operatives are OF the opinion. that so
long as they are I'm front OF the mil they
are at home.
ThOSe. especially lduleS, ndll llt h'fl''
order with no little interest for the side
walks are simply a flood OF spit just be-
fore the help goes in at morning and noon.
NOT A GOOD BALL TOWN.
The olneyville ball team will not have
any game tomorrow and possibly none on
Saturday OF next week IL is possible that
some OF the best players OF the team VIII
fnd positions with other clubs as the
stockholders OF the club will hardly care
10 pay salaries while the team Is idle, so
when the team plays here again IL may
be almost a new one. but not OF such
high class OF players for IL has been de-
monstrated that first class team can
not be supported here.
The business men OF the square have
done little or nothing towards the support
of the team and IL Is n we'll known fact
that when there has been 1000 persons at
a game, a large amount OF money was
spent In the square as those who attended
the game would prefer 20 do their shop
ping there instead OF going down town
CLERK TOUCHED UP THE TILL.
Joe Sander. who conducts shoe shop
at Plainield street was called out
for n few moments yesterday afternoon,
so he pressed into service a well known
young man 10 officiate as clerk during
his absence As soon as happy Joes
back was turned the young mans right
and then the new clerk meandered to-
wards the It'll
1t was no trouble To open It, for II
had no alarm bells or wires Joe was
gone perhaps 20 minutes. and when he
came back his clerk was missing. and so
was a 81 bill and n 80 cent piece.
A young man who was on the outside
OF the shop had an eve on the clerk
and II is presumed that he told Joe just
how the trick was turned. Joe has left
the facts and the name and address Of
his clerk AT the police station.
MAY HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR
SPORT
A party OF young men were having
what they called fun" with Charles
Bilgeirrs OF l51 Willard avenue a rag
peddler. at the corner OF Westminster
etreet and Huntington avenue They up
set his push cart and smashed 30 cents
worth OF bottles Bilgeirra wended his
way to the Chaffee Street Police station
and made a complaint. and since then
the officials of the station have learned
the names OF some of the Young men
and unless they skip they will be called
upon TO explain their lawless action in
interfering with the rights of an lnoffen-
eive business man.
GENERAL MENTION.
II IL quite probable that the police will
ind the two little girls who undertook
20 rob Edith Alder OF l5 Heath street
near her home Wednesday evening
Edith says that she could identify the
girls without the least trouble IL she met
them again.and there Is no doubt but thcv
police feel positive that they will and
