TOWN MEETING TALK.

The warning for town meeting con-
tains these articles of especial interest -
To see il the town will vote to raise
money not to exceed $500 for highway
purposes, in addition to the amount now
required by law, in order to take advsn-
tage of the state aid law; and il the town
will so vote, how much.
To see if the town will appropriate
money, and il so how much, for Memo
rial day purposes.
To appropriate money for library pur-
poses.
To vote upon the question-Shall Ii
cense be granted for the sale OF intoxi-
eating liquors in this town? The box
will close at 3 o'clock.
To raise money to pay indebtedness and
current expenses OF the town.
To raise money to pay Indebtedness
and current expenses OF the town school
district.
After the warning was posted and on
petition of "a legal voters, the selectmen
inserted the following article: TO see If
the town will vote to exempt the Boston
White Cross Milk company from taxation
for the period Of five years.
This town has never awaited itself Of
the state aid for highways obtainable by
voting extra appropriations itself. The
state gives as much as the town votes, up
to a certain sum. thus doubling the
amount.
Randolph has never come anywhere
near voting license, and there is no pros
pect that it will this year.
Last year the effort to have the White
Cross company exempted failed, it seemed
through default. This company estab-
/ Isahad ;ta ,Iauk hara r,uIar the aorurauro
/ from the local Board of Trade that il
would be exempted, the Board feeling
that it represented the sentiment of the
town in so doing. 1t has been the prac-
tice here to offer this inducement to new
enterprises locating here, and is the rule
in other places. II would seem that good
faith almost demands the extension of
the favor to the White Cross concern.
Randolph village has no representation
on the board of selectmen this year. 1t
feels that, with half the voters and grand
list OF the town, it ought to have a select
man and will probably present candi-
date. Contests for several town offices
are in prospect.
1t is hoped there will be full attend
ance OF voters next Tuesday. The towns
business concerns everybody and is i'm
portant enough to warrant taking few
hours one day in the year. Those who
complain the loudest are often those who
find it convenient March meeting day to
4 let others attend while they remain in
their stores or places of business.
Under a new law, selectmen and listers
are to be elected this year for terms of
one, two and three years, respectively,
and in future years these officers will
hold office for periods of three years
each, one only dropping out each year.

OF all the banquets of the season, that
Of Friday night, given in Bethany Parish
house by the Young Mems Christian
Brotherhood was the one of supreme en-
joyment in the opinion OF those partici-

The tables had decorations Of flowers,
and with the prim occurrences of a Qua

side and % girls on the other, but there
the resemblance ceased; it was not a
Quaker meeting by any means. Silence
was broken until there was nothing left
of it and fun, lots of it, ruled instead.

Miss Jane Hapgood, who is spending

the sad intelligence OF the death OF her
niece, Miss Rosamond Hawthorne. from
pneumonia Feb. in Rome, Italy, where
her body was inferred. She was with
Mrs. Cunningham. a sister OF Bishop
Lawrence OF Massachusetts and in her ILL

her. Miss Hapgood was at the Randolph
House last summer and Miss Hawthorne
was with her several weeks before start

and conduct them through a European
tour, from which she expected to return
the middle OF April. She was a graduate
of st. Agnes Halls, Bellows Falls, of
which Miss Hspgood was principal many
years, and she was young woman Of un-
usual culture and charming personality.
Many acquaintance in Randolph and

A severe Jolt from an unex-

the Pratt-Review Nonpartisan club
last night at the meeting in the
conucil chamber. 1t was delivered
by Frank T. Post, who by invita-
ton appeared to address the club
on the proposed amendments to
the city charter, and by way of in
PRODUCTION told the audience that
its nonpartisan movement was a
humbug and piece of buncombe
and that he was republican and
would support his party ticket.
There were possibly 200 at the
meeting. The assemblage was
composed largely of lawyers.

chants and other gentlemen of po

the chief following of Mr.. ONO,

speechmaking was a denunciation
of the undesirable elemnts' con-

PRATT SAYS so IN SPEECH
LAST NIGHT, FORGETTING
HIS PREVIOUS DECLARA-
TON WHEN PRIMARY CAN
CIDATE.

The democrats laboring for the
election of N. S. Pratt as mayor OF
Spokane for the unannounced pur-
pose of gaining little prestige for
the party will derive but little COM
fort from the remarks made by
Pratt last night at the city hall
meeting.
Pratt in this talk practically cut
loose from the men who gave him
the mayoralty nomination and an
nounced himself a straight-out non
partisan, by whom all Offices will
be filled on a nonpartisan basis,
should he be elected. This is In
line with Spokesman-Review policy
when it fails to be able to control
either party.
In trying to placte his new-found
allies of the Pratt nonpartisan club
the candidate named by the demo
Gratis served notice upon them, in
directly, that they had no further
strings upon him and that hence
forward he was Pratt the nonparti-
san candidate instead of Pratt the
democratic nominee. But he en-
phasized the party nominee bust
ness when he announced his can
didacy before the primaries.
Judge Nash put the situation
into forcible words when he an
nounced at the close Of the meet

can organizations are merely side

EVEN DEATH COULDN'T
CLOSE HIS EYES
by United Pressl

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 15.-Jo-
seph Anderson, who for 80 years
had never closed his eyes, died
of tuberculosis, and even after
death his eyes refused to close. An
derson's condition was brought
about by dust in a limestone quar-
ry, in which he worked, and which
caused his eyelids to grow fast to
his eyeballs. When he wanted to
sleep he merely put his hand over
his eyes, but once asleep, if his
hand happened to drop off, he con.
tinued asleep, regardless of the
fact that a strong light might be
shining into his eyes.

 Paris, May 12.-Paris today is feel ing the grip of the postmen's and tele- graphers' strike which was declared last evening. Despite the govern ment's assertion that the strike is not seriously hampering the transmission of mails, the service between France and England is already sadly disor- ganized and becoming worse every hour. Letters and te1egrams are pill ing up in the local offices and the ad- mitted force of operatives from the army is slowly handling the work In a short time it is feared the strike will have effected a. complete tie-up of the mail service.

NEW COUNCIL OF . KNIGHTS OF

To Be Formed in Fairfield

Permission having been granted by State Deputy James J. Kennedy of New Haven, Major William F.

Fa- ther Coleman, pastor of St. Thomas church, Fairfield, to have the initial meeting held next Sunday in that town, and Father Coleman will do his part in rouSing interest in the move ment.
 The membership of the new council will be recruited largely from resi- dents of Fairfield and Southport, though adjacent towns other than Bridgeport will be looked to for char ter members. MT. Flynn said today that he had been assured of an almost sufficient number of charter members to launch the new council, and he eX- pected that at the meeting Sunday there would be forthcoming the re- quisite number
 Other towns in the State not as large as Fairfield and not nearly as enter prising have well established councils and it is the belief of MT. Flynn that Fairfield and the surrounding towns and villages should be represented by a K. of c. council Catholic men of Fairfield and Southport and nearby villages are requested to attend the meeting Sunday next at St. Thomas church after the parish mass
