report at the Tuesdays meeting. Since then the town records have been searched and it is said that no regular grade for Union street could be found. This is offset by the finding of a rec ord where the town ordered the curb ing and guttering of the street. which is considered equivalent to the estab- Iishment of grade, although no plat of the layout of the street had been filed in the town clerks office. This find is said to be ample for the pro lection of the property owners who expect damages from the town in the event of a change in grade.

The order of the Knight company affects 500,000 spindaes and 5000 wage earners.

The financial town meeting of West erIx is renair(sr of the deadlock

The financial town meeting of West erIy is ren1ir}er of the deadlock session of the Connecticut legislature that was only adjourned by limitation at the end of the regular two years term. The Westerly financial town meeting was begun about six weeks ago, has had two continued sessions and is to have the third on Tuesday of the present week. In the Connecti- cut case it was a little matter of whether the democratic or republican state officers should manage the af fairs of state. but in Westerly the con- tention is the change of grade in Un- ion street. the cutting down of Cooky hill so-caued.
 There is a committee out to make examination of the conditions and to ascertain the cost of the proposed i'm provement and this committee has made reports, the last one giving the cost of the work in detail, which fiyed the expense at about s25,000, owing to the claims made by some of the abutting property owners in damages, although two parties who own the largest amount of property on the street have agreed to do their share of the work of improvement and at no cost to the town.
 At the last adjourned meeting claim was made that there had never. been a legal grade established for Union street and that if this was fact there could be no claims for damages. The committee was asked to investigate this matter, and to make report of the cost minus the property damages, and

ficient to connect them in the mind
of the detective with the men he had
suspected.
A detail of officers walked from
the police station to a rooming house
half a block away and burst in the
room noted in Sheets memorandum
book. They found two men, breath
less from fast walking, a warm re-
volver, money corresponding to the
sum taken from Fassell's store and
loot from a recent burglary. Thorn
passed a restless night in the city

THE MAsouE OF SPRING.

The Playwright was a master hand,
The little folk that played
In merriest attire of earth
Were splendidly arrayed.
A robin gave the curtain call,
The stage-a meadow space
Was set with scenery of the field
And fringed with ferny lace.
For orchestra the whipporwill
Joined with the noisy frogs,
AS through the evening soft and clear
They sang upon the logs.
For solo note the hermit thrush
Poured forth his melody,
And though twas late l still could
The murmur of the bee.
Act first: The crickets have a turn,
The squirrels came on to dance;
And then the blossoms of the woods
With fragrant necromance-
Came on with many a sweet chassez,
And forming in parade
Lit with their mingled tints of light
The far and level glade.
The fireflies held their lanterns up,
And in the insect glow
The actors played their several parts
In springtime's wonder-show.
The fence-of moss-grown rails ar
ranged
| deemed a fit parquet,
And there in quiet order sat
To watch the sylvan play.
The Sisters Daffodil came forth,
And Columbine and Rose
In dance preferred to illustrate
Their grace of form and pose;
A thousand little bluebells rang
music petal-sweet,
And then, the Brothers Buttercup
Helped make the scene complete.
The crickets gave us duos shrill
Upon string instruments,
And sofe the breezes moved the
waves
OF young wheat by the fence.
No theater so fair, l thought,
Does any city hold
AS this great playhouse of the fields
With blue dome starred in gold.
The Masque of Spring, by actors all
OF natures breed, how fine,
With all the spirit of the piece
A sense of things divinei
Around, the cast campagne of green
Set rich with living bloom,
And far away the quiet wood
In cool, ,sequestered gloom.
oh, happy players. play cried:
Repeat your simple acts;
Here is an art that gives us art
In living form and facts;
Here Is a skill no artisan
OF cap and wig may know
The purpose of the Lord of love
Made plain to us belowi

New York, October 16-(Speciai. )-Homer Davenport has written a book and It ought to make as great an impress on the public as the greatest cartoon he ever drew. The first lines of his preface tells exactly what 1t Is. This book" they say, deals with just an ordinary boy, brought up, however, among peo- pie and conditions that were not ordi- nary"
 On the cover is an extraordinary pie ture of an old man wearing a frock coat and slouch hat. A barefoot boy Is by his side, his trousers held up by one "gallus," bare-headed. The two are look ing of into the future. The little boy Is Davenport, the old man is his father. It is his future they are looking into.
 You see 1t was this way. His mother decided. when he was a child, upon the career which later he must follow. In- credible as 1t may seem, she had deter mined that he must be a great cartoon ist before he had shown the slightest in- clination even toward rough drawing of pigs heads, houses with smoke chim- neys, and the other things which children will try to draw when they get pen ell and paper or slate and sponge. That is why the Davenports moved into Silverton-so that Homer might have an opportunity to learn to draw. He learn ed but did not learn from teachers-men dogs, horses, cattle, wild things. they all helped to teach him, but not one of these was a professional instructor. He tells all this. and tells 1t in homely simple fascinating way, making of hts book. to start with. frank tribute to the people of the town of Silverton. In Oregon, the first town his eyes had ever rested upon
