CUMBERLAND
viii Confer on The Matter Of
Repairing Tho Whipp|o Bridge

II Is probable that before the week is
ended the town councils OF this town and
Lincoln will get together and talk over
the question OF making repairs on the
Whipple bridge. Both towns have made
appropriations for highways with a view
to using n part OF the money TO pay the
expense OF these necessary repairs and
as IL is stated that they will cost only
about 1920 II is quite probable that work
will be started very soon.
The Cumberland council will also con-
slider other highway matters this week.
The taxpayers appropriated the sum Of
$4,000 for work on the roads. From this
will have to be paid nearly $4,000 for a de-
felt caused by the last council and this
will leave about $4,000 to be used this
year In addition to this there will be
$4,000 spent In the town by the state the
work being done under the direction OF
the town council
VANDALISM
Some time Monday night boys entered
the garden belonging TO William Pater.
son OF Valley Falls and despoiled the
place OF its wealth OF roses OF which Mr..
Paterson has taken great deal of pride.
The beautiful flowers OF which there were
a number OF rare specimens attracted
very general attention but the ruthless
ness shown by the vandals caused the
destruction OF some OF the bushes and
also caused destruction 10 quite a number
OF other plants in the yard.
MATCH ARRANGED.
A match race OF 100 yards for $25 n side
has been arranged between Ernest l..
Jenckes former member OF the local
police force and Joseph s. Barber OF VAL
ley Falls. The date for the race has not
been fixed. Another sprinkling match has
been fixed UP between Charles Holway of
Manvlle and Richard Sallenger OF Ions
dale. This is for 100 yards with a purse
OF $500 and the contest will come off at
the Woonsocket trotting park on the

Railroad Commissioner Free
mans Letter Concerning the

At the meeting OF the common council,
which was held Monday night. Council
man Mann objected TO the wording OF a
resolution which requested Railroad Com
missioner Freemap TO order the New
York. New Haven and Hartford road to
discontinue whistling by its locomotives
on approaching the grade crossings In
this city. Mr.. Mann declared that the
railroad commissioner had no power TO
give an order OF this character. and so
too did Councilman Freeman. who Is a
brother OF Railroad Commissioner Free
man.
Judging from the letter which was made
public last night and which was written
by Railroad Commissioner Freeman 10
the railroad officials he himself does not
quite agree with his Fellow citizens, for
there was a distinct "order" on his part.

A Bridge Kept In Repair by Musse1s,

A Bridge Kept In Repair by Musse1s.
The byssus, or silky beard, by which
the musseI nloors itself to the stone, is
a familiar object Of our sea rocks. 1t
is in its nature like the silk Of the silk
worm and exudes in a glutinous thread
from an organ at the base of the foot.
The following is an instance in which
the Dooring Of the mussel was useful
to effect q purpose which human skill
could not accomplish: \ large bridge,
with twenty arches, in the town Of
Biddeford, in Devonshire, crosses the
Torridge river near the spot Of its
junction with the Taw. The tide flows
so very rapidly here that it was found
impossible to keep the bridge in repair
By means Of mortar The corporation
therefore keeps boats employed in
bringing mussels to it, and the inter.
stices Of the bridges are filled by hand
with these mussels. It is supported
from being driven away by the tide
entirely by the strong threads which
these mussels fix to the stonework, and
by an act or grant it is a crime liable
to transportation for any person to re-
move the mussels unless in the pres
ence and by the consent Of the cor
porative trustees.-Scottish Nights.

MOHAMMED'S BLOODY HAND

History of the Imprint on :, Pillar Ia
the Church of st. Sophia.
In the course of our exploration in
Constantinople we visited building
in an obscure and poor quarter of
Stamboul inhabited solely by Mohan-
medans.
It is called the Mosque Kahrie, but
it is or was q church dedicated to the
Blessed Virgin. The beauty Of the
mosque ceiling and walls not even cen
turies OF neglect have been able to OBJ
Eterate.
When we returned to the great
Church of ST. Sophia, now mosque,
and saw again the print Of the bloody
hand of Mohammed, which is pointed
out high up on the wall Of that once
Christian church, we understand its
significance better than we had at first
sight.
Mohammed II. after advancing his
outposts gradually and stealthily had
finally, as if in a night, crossed the
Bosporus from Asia and raised his
forts on the European side Of the
stream. Just the day before, on a
trip up the Bosporus, we had seen the
ruins Of those Notifications.
The rulers Of the city had protested
in vain against this encroachment.
When the Moslems finally attacked
the city the Christians fed in terror to
st. Sophia. An ancient legend, firmly
believed, promised that this sanctuary
was absolutely safe.
Mohammed proved the fallacy Of
their trust by breaking down the doors,
numbering. those who had sought safe
II there, men, women and children
so many of them that finally, forcing
his horse over the great pile of dead
bodies, away up on the side Of pillar
he planted his bloody hand on the
clear wall in token Of his victory over
the Christians That, CORY hand still
overshadows the fairest portion OF
southeastern Europe.-Rosary Maga-
zine
