Happenings.

A special meeting of the Narragansett
Gun club was held last evening in their
rooms at Phenix. when final arrange
ments for their Decoration day exercises
were completed, and some routine busi-
ness transacted.
Six applications for membership were
members now so. The initiation fee is SIS

valley who are anxious to join.
The building committee reported that
the building was not only ready, but
would be painted by Thursday. AT pres
ent 1t looks as though a large assembly
win be present at the opening day exer-
cises.
A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
The residents of Centreville square see
narrow escapes from serious accident
every day when school Is not in session.
The children of the village who own
down the hill At the bottom of the
grade there is a sharp turn that makes
the pastime dangerous. as at this point
there is considerable traffic.
Several of the citizens have spoken to
the boys, but as they did not heed the
warnings, the residents nearby had the
town sergeant look into the matter. Last
winter the sergeant stopped several OF
the children from sliding down the hill
BOYS GET DUCKING.
What came near being a fatality oc-
Cured at Centreville pond on Sunday af-
ternoon, when three small boys, who
were enjoying themselves In a boat nsh-
ing for pickerel, became excited over a
catch and overturned the skiff in the CEN
tire OF the river.
The cries of the youngsters attracted
the attention OF some young men crossing
tho bridge on their way from Arctic to
Crompton. and they went TO the assist
ance of the boys, who were plunging
about in the water.
NOTES.
The valley streets were in darkness last
evening on account OF a broken feed wire

IN SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco has very important and urgent
duty before her. She must suppress the rioters
who attacking the Japanese and destroying
their property, and give effective protection to both.
The city cannot excuse the mob attacks on Japan
ese restaurants and bath houses by claiming they
incident to strike of street men, and that
the police are fully occupied in keeping the strike
sympathizers under control
Such an explanation would not be accepted in
Japan for the people of the Mikados empire realize
they unpopular in California, and very naturally
would regard the destruction of the property of
their countrymen there another evidence OF
national hatred.
Reverse the conditions and there will be some
appreciation of the feelings of the Japanese in this
matter. Should American stores in Toxic any
other Japanese city be broken into and looted by
natives, how long would it be before of in
dgnation would sweep over this country demand
ing immediate and complete reparation, if not war
This is serious business at San Francisco,
and unless the situation is handled with hrmness
and prudence, trouble may result, and very serious
trouble that 1t is the duty of the city to protect
the lives and property of all the Japanese within its
borders, and that duty cannot be escaped.

murdered for what money he had with

the police are far at sea in attempting TO
make the revolutionary bodies carry the
burden OF the crime.
DIR. Margossian said the priest was un-
doubtedly slain for his money. as he was
reputed TO carry $1,000 with him.

that three men and possibly a fourth are

meeting was attended by many scientists who had
been personal friends Of the man whose memory
was honored, who was best known simply as "Agas-

He expounded plainly his subjects to an audience.
He was earnest enthusiastic, effective teacher.
He came into our Puritan society like warm glow.
