 The mainmast and topmast were in storage on the Westerly side of the Pwcatuck river, and some young men determined to settle the liberty pole question by stealing it and setting it up in Connecticut soil in the village of Pawcatuck. They succeeded in stealing the topmast, but were baked in their effort to get the mainmast
 The topmast was located in front of the residence of Bernard Halpin in West Broad street and the event was celebrated by a flag raising and spread eagle speeches. This flagpole has re- mained there ever since. The main mast is now in service in front of the Westerly high school, another topmast having been purchased.

PYTHIANS IN PECK OF
TROUBLE AT THE BILL
Which Takes Away Their
Badge and Title.

Americas colored Pythians were
not little disconnected yesterday at
the announcement that Gov. Brown
had signed the bill passed by the Leg
islature which takes from the colOred
Pythians and Elks their title name,
together with the badge and other
paraphernaIja of these orders.
Under the law they can no longer
pose as Pythians and Elks. but must
adopt other names.
The bill passed by the Legislature
and signed by Gov. Brown yesterday is
designed to protect the names, rituals
and insignia of the Elks, Knights of
Pythias and other secret orders from
alleged encroachment by negro soci-
cites and orders.
The bill was introduced during the
last days of the session and passed
on the very last day. The negroes
were vigorous in their opposition to
the governor signing the bill. They
asserted that if he did it would be the
means of many industrious negroes
leaving the state.

case Of collaboration in the raising OF

load OF new potatoes.
In searching the barn a few days
ago for stolen nests, Farmer Gladwin
discovered an old feed box in an empty
stall containing a mOtherly looking
hen, eleven eggs and nine kittens. The
latter we're not more than four days
old. The kittens were Struggled close
to the hen, which seemed strangely
contented with the mixture Of un-
Matched eggs and a brood OF kittens.
Gladwin routed the hen from the
feed box and she ran squawking out
of the barn. No sooner had she dis.
appeared than the barnyard cat put il
an appearance, jumped into the feed
box. cuddled the kittens and kept the
eggs warm
Farmer Gladwin waited for a day
before removing the kittens. During
that time the hen sat on the eggs fol
regular periods. only leaving the nest
when the cat appeared. After the kit
tens had received their rations the
mother would leave the nest and the
mothers occupied the feed box jointly
