cussing the ACCESSIBILITY Of incorporating
in the call for the annual town meeting,
an article to see If the town will not
rescind its former action and choose a
committee to see what may be done to-
ward furnishing a site for the library
building offered by Mr.. Carnegie It is
held by many that II such a committee
was created by the town, simply for the
investigation of any possibilities which
may arise, 1t is probable a desirable site
could easily be secured without expense
to the town, either by gift or popular
subscription.
From the interest in the question, and
the comments heard about town, It seems
evident large majority of leading citi-
zens regret the hasty action taken by
the town last summer, in which It refused
even to entertain the proposition or ap-
point such a committee to investigate and
report. 1t will be remembered, Mr.. Car
negie, two or three years ago, proposed
gift of $4,000 to Rockingham condi-
toned upon the town furnishing a suitable
site and raising 10 per cent. Of that
amount annually for its support.
The proposition still remains in force,
no one having taken the responsibility Of
reporting to Mr.. Carnegie the dis
courteous action Of the town in not dis
cussing the article in relation to 1t at a
special town meeting called for the pur-
pose. Had he received knowledge of It, 1t
is questionable If he might not have with
drawn the offer. The proposition is open
for acceptance whenever the town shall
see flt.

ICED DRINKS IN ENGLAND.
Adoption Of American Ways Brings on a
Wave Of Temperance,

The remarkable wave OF temperance
which Is at present spreading all over
England is said to be due chiefly to eco
nomic conditions and secondly TO the
great change in public taste.
"One OF the chief reasons of the de-
crease In the national drink BILL" said
John t. Rae, secretary of the National
temperance League, 'is the striking con-
demnation OF the use Of alcohol by some
OF the most influential medical authori-
ties.
Another important factor in the de-
creased consumption OF wines and spirits
Is the fashion set by the large number OF
American visitors. who show a remark
able preference for iced temperance
drinks
The total abstinence Of the majority
OF the labor leaders is also beginning to
ten on the laboring classes and members
OF trade unions, many of whom are now
beginning to realize that teetotalism is an
important stepping stone to their future
progress"
There is no doubt" the manager of
one OF the largest firms Of wine mer-
chants told newspaper representative.
that the decrease in wine and spirit
drinking Is due to the present tightness OF
money and the high rate of the income
tax. In consequence OF this the public Is
only spending about half as much on
wines as 1t was formerly in the habit Of
doing" "a
The following list OF government re-
turns on home consumption Of wines ana
spirits speaks for itself:

RockInsham's Large Expense for Support
Of Its Poor.

A matter that seems worthy of the
attention OF the voters Of Rockingham at
the annual town meeting is the expendi-
lures of the town in the support of its
poor. No one would wish to concede resi-
dents Of Rockingham were pauperized to
greater degree than other neighboring
towns or cities and yet the showing by
the annual reports for the year 1904 is
as follows:

GIT Of $500 for prospective Industry.

Last Friday evening a special meeting
OF the members of the board Of trade was
called at the village bailiff's rooms to
consider the question OF substantial as
sistance by the village to the Barton Fur
niture Co, who had talked of locating
here. The representative OF the COM
pany who was present, was asked whether
ne preferred loan of $4,000 to assist in
establishing his business here. or a
gift OF $500. He indicated his preference
for the latter, and the amount was raised
In few minutes by $25 subscriptions. At
the present time, even with the sub
stantial assistance given, it is question
able II the subscribers will be called upon
to make their pledges good. as the COM
ing OF the firm to Bellows Falls is as yet
a somewhat visionary matter.

Population. Net COS

To the figures Of Rockingham should be
added $1,000 expended by the Campbell and
Howard funds, which none of the other
places have, making the total cost $685.
In addition to this amount the Bel
lows Falls Woman's club expended $500
for the services of a district nurse and
supplies for the poor in 1904 and $1,000 in
1905 The town farm cost $23S1 TO run
The overseer furnished assistance to
families outside Of the town farm to the
amount Of $31S2; the produce sold from
the farm amounted to $370.S4; the amount
paid for rent for the poor $SS0.50; the
amount paid to different physicians for
care Of the poor amounted to $42753. The
number of persons at the town farm is
IA and the total capacity Of the buildings
Is for only 20. The report of the town
auditors does not show how many families
were assisted, and how much to each, as
all the other above mentioned towns and
cities do. The tax payers of Rockingham
have never evinced a disposition to be
close with the unfortunate poor, but they
are entitled to know how many, and who,
are being assisted each year.
