DUMB THROUGH STAGE FRIGHT
New Bedford. Mass, Singer Breaks Down at First Professional Appear
 ance-Specialists Disagree

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. July o4- Whether Charles J. B. Pacquette, 2 young singer who broke down while singing at the Pastime theater in Bos- ton, was made dumb through stage fright, or some disease, is a question upon which two medical experts can not agree.
 Paquette, who is 23 years old, has not been able to utter a word since he started to sing his second song on his first appearance as professional in the Boston amusement house, last Mon day afternoon.
 Dr. Alphonse Nqrmandin, of this city, has twice examined the young man at the home of his father. and says that he can find nothing at all wrong with his vocal chords and believes the pa tient could speak if be would.
 A Fall River specialist, after examin- ing Paquette, declares he was stricken dumb from some mysterious cause, which as yet he has been unable to fathom. Paquette scrawled on piece of paper: ''I am dumb.' when the atrical manager demanded what he meant by rushing from the stage.

Stray Topics from
 Little Old New York

For a moment the workmen were pug zled, but they coolly proceeded to do ''their worst. v Once more they began to dig hole, a few feet from the other too, and, as it exhausted her physical limitations to occupy two holes the woman was unable to prevent the men from planting the objectionable pole in the third, which she could not even reach by any stretching of her anatomy.
 It must have been quite a shock to the other day after several weeks ab- sence in search of work, to find his wife in mourning and to learn from her that she had buried him short time ago. Of course it was all mistake and she had identified the body of stranger as that of her husband but, all the same, she would have collected the insurance on her husband s life, had he delayed his return few days longer.
 
 The anti-noise ordinance which was held up in the city council nearly q year, has at last come into force, but it seems to be the general opinion of the citizens that it is not comprehensive enough to do much good. The ordi- nance is merely directed against huck sters and street vendors and prohibits them from blowing horns, ringing bells, Shn m pna ak n nf har unIGp tQ attract the attention of possible pur chasers. It is generally regretted that the ordinance does not also prohibit whistling, the banging of pianos, and scratching of fddles, the grinding of organs, squeaking or door hinges and wagon wheels, the footing and screech- ing of horns and sirens on automobiles and other hideous noises.
 
 The members of the Hip Sing Tong. one of the two most prosperous clans or factions in New York's Chinese col ony. had their annual banquet the oth- CT night and, contrary to custom, the affair came off without interruption and without armed intervention by mem bers of the rival Tongs. There were forty or more courses at the banquet and the amount of Chinese delicaeies consumed by the feasters was perfect ly incredible. The police authorities had taken special precautions to pre- vent trouble, but aside from a few cases of indigestion nothing marred the joyful occasion.

vrW YORK, July 24.-After a week ,f sensational outdoor campaign

 When the hole was completed, the woman planted herself in it and defed inc polemen to dislodge her. The mean
 creatures simply smiled. They never attempted to use force against lady, but began to dig new hole, foot
 or so from the hole occupied by the protesting woman. They thought they
 had outwtted her, but soon found they had made mistake, With admirable
 resOurcefulness the woman placed one
 of her legs in the second hole and again

courts the other day comes up before him. The suit is damage suit filed bv a woman and her husband against druggist in their neghborhood. The complainants demand damages to the amount of $500 because the aforesaid mixer of medicines had, as alleged by the woman in the ease, kissed her against her will on several occasions. She demands $100 for each one of the kisses which had been forced upon hei in various intervals during the last year or two. She could have filed suit long before this, but evidently thought it best to let the kisses accumulate so as to make the damages nice round sum.

asked for by the plaintiff was awarded

''We have had county government
for several years, but we have not gone

ing the counties power to collect taxes

mittee of the whole, dealing with three
bills to turn the county jails. court
houses and hospitals over to the coun-
ties to maintain.
Rice stated that there were bills in
to turn costs and fines and more of the
tax money over to the counties and
he favored these as well. He believed
the counties could support these insti-
buttons cheaper than the Territory and
favored giving more power and more
responsibility to the counties.

was known what money the counties
were to get. while Rice argued that
there could be nothing recommended
