WHILE THE GLOVE is UP.
Then No Man Can Be Arrested in This
English Town.

The quaint custom of 3sproclaiming the
fair at Honiton has just been observed.
The town obtained the grant of fair
from the lord of the manon so long ago
as 1857, and the fair still retains some
of the picturesque characteristics of by
gone days.
The town crier, dressed in picturesque
uniform and carrying pole decorated
with gay flowers and surmounted by a
large gilt model of a gloved hand, pub
licly announces the opening of the fair
as follows: "Oyezl Oyez Oyer! The
fairs begun, the glove is up. No man
can be arrested till the glove is taken
down" Hot coins are then thrown
among the children.
The pole and glove viii remain dis
played until the end of the fair.-Pall

You see the assessment per 1000 property is twice as large in Somer- vile, with no saloons, as~ in Houston with GIT for each 1000 Inhabitants. The per capita tax in Portland with no saloons is twice as large as in | Houston, and the taxation Is higher per capita as we'll as in proportion to property in the two prohibition cities and in Lynn with not even one saloon for each 1000 inhabitants as In the three cities with the. largest number of saloons in this group of cities.
 Tn other groups 1t Is pretty much the same. Compare, for instance, Milwaukee and Boston. Milwaukee has 6.S1 saloons for each 1000 in- habitants. The per capita taxation is $11.46, the tax for $1.000 property is sS.92: in Boston with only 1.39 saloons for each 1000 inhabitants. the assessment for $1,000 of true value is s14.S6, more than in Mill waukee, and the per capita tax is s3l.1T, nearly three times as high as in Milwaukee. Philadelphia has only 1.32 saloons for each 1000 inhabit- ants. Chicago 3.69, or three times as many. But the tax assessment in Philadelphia is S14.51 and in Chicago ss.33 for each s1,000 true value of property; per capita the tax in Phila- delphia is $12.6S, in Chicago only SI1.3S.
 "or take the fourth group. cities of between 30.000 and 50,0OO in- habitants. Brockton. Mass. has noI saloons. Galveston has. the largest number of saloons in this group, S.S7 for each 1000 inhabitants. Assess ments in Galveston is only s1i.52 for 1000; in Brockton it is s17.S0: per capita the taxation in Galveston is sIO.s1. in Brockton sl1.92. Mobile. Ala.. has 5.s6 saloons for each 1000 inhabitants. Newcastle. Pa, only 0.50. but the tax assess ment fin Newcastle is s1O.sO and in Mobile only ss.75, and per capita the tax in Newcastle Is sS.72, while in Mobile it is only ss.1O.
 And so 1t is all through. Taxes show a decided tendency to rise as the number of saloons grows smaller.
 Whether the cause is increased expenditure. or small revenues through license. or both together is hardly possible to obtain from the special report. One thing. however is clear. the absence of the saloon most | generally results ia increase of taxa- tion."

DESERTED BY PARENTS
Young Boy Appealed 10 Board
 oi Charities To-Day.

A young fellow who said his name was Patsey Rose appealed to Super intendent of the Board of Charities James Morris this morning for some thing to eat or means to get it. He said his age was 16 and that he has been deserted by his father and mother, who went to Italy, their na- tive country, two months ago. Last night he slept in a barn on West Main street and where he would sleep tonight had not occurred to him so early in the day. He had not partaken of food since Saturday noon and he saw no prospect of get ting any to-day. Formerly he and his folks lived in Waterbury about nine months. Since then they have lived in Derby, which town Rose left Saturday, thinking it would be cas- fer to get work or something to eat here than there
 While the young fellow did not look to be on the verge of fainting through hunger, his appearance gave evidence that square meal would not cause him any serious inconven- fence. MT Atwood considered he was resident of the town of Derby and gave him his fare to that place.
 Another young fellow who said his name was Dcvine and that he lived in Harper's Ferry, complained at the office of the board of chari- ties last Saturday that he had>aot had any food siuce the Tuesday noon before. It IS rule of the board of charities to make as few paupers as possible, to keep the names of people off the city records as having been recipients of public aid, and so rather than give this boy any charity he was given a few tips where he might get work. So away he went and that was the last the officials of the board of charities saw of him.

GOT S60 WORTH.
Home of Mrs Frank shepard En.
 tered Saturday.

Some clever crook continues to use a skeleton key with good effect in this city and sclrcely a day passes that one or more houses are not en- tered. On Saturday afternoon, in broad daylight, between the hours of 3:30 and 4:30. some one entered the tenement of Mrs Frank Shepard, who lives at 6S Grand street. The thief 1t is thought secured an en- trance by use of n skeleton key. He made on with about se0 worth of jewelry and a few dollars. He first entered the room of a Mrs Robillard, to whom the iewelry belonged. She at that time was out shopping with Mrs Shepard. The remainder of the house was then searched, the thief evidently seeking ieveITy and money. Mrs Shepard's daughter returned home about I:30, but she saw or heard no one n the house. The detectives are SOrking on the case. but have no clue to the thief.

HEARING TOMORROW
Contention Between Mrs. Green.
 man and AttlIio MeDichin0.

After hanging fire in the courts over year, the contention between Attilio Menichino end Mrs Edith Greenman will be given hearing in the district court tomorrow morn ing at 10 o'clock. The trouble Is over the title to passway from Meadow street, to the rear of house at 324 South Main street, where Menichino lives. Every lawyer in the town has his business eye on this case, and while the plaintiff is rep resented in 1t by Attorney Guilfoile, Mrs Greenman's counsel is Attorney Pierce.
 Mrs GreenmaI while looking over the affairs of the estate of her father, the late Cnancey B. Webster, found that he had disposed of the passway in question years ago, though it belonged to her mothers estate. The title passed the hands of about dozen people before it reached Menichino, without ever having been questioned, and but for the accidental discovery by Mrs Greenman it would not be matter of litigation now. Mrs Greenman &C., cordingly through Attorney Pierce had an injunction served upon Meni- chino restraining him from running gas and water pipes and electric wires through and over the passway. This action had tine effect of stopping a good deal of work Menichino had in view However that injunction and suit for damages were with drawn and Menichino then began action to clear .up the title to the passway.

AT 10 minutes past Q o'clock yes

landing there, she crashed sideling,

straightened out and Captain Ander-

40-odd passengers and transferred
them by launch to Maygers and let
them take the A. & c. Railway line

She left UP for Portland later in
