The selectmen were sentenced to Bristol

pardoned and released them and ordered
that the obnoxious taxes should be re-

Mr. Crapo. in an grafton at the cele-
bration Of the 1JOth anniversary OF this
event, said:
II have said our fathers were Puritans.
They were more than that-they were the
Protestants OF the Puritans. They were
in sympathy with the established gov
cept the one matter Of compulsory taxa
tion for religious purposes. Fully be-
llieving in freedom of conscience. they had
early conceived strong aversion to the
arbitrary imposition of taxes by the civil
power for the support OF a ministry with
which they were not in unison and over
which they had no control. The early
records of the town, imperfect and frag-
mentary as they are. in connection with
the history of the colony, plainly tell us
how earnestly and even bitterly this con-
troversy was waged and for how many
years 1t was the source Of disoord and
persecution. The Plymouth colony court
annually apportioned to the town tax
for the support of ministers, in addition
to the province tax, but the Baptis:s and
Quakers of Dartmouth were infiexible in
their resistance to Il. and while the
province rates were faithfully met. those
for the maintenance OF ministers were re-
fused. 1t also troubled our good rulers
at Plymouth that our fathers were sc
negligent in providing stated preaching
according to the established Puritan
faith

NEW BEDFORD, Mass,

For many years New Bedford was the
richest town in the United States per
capita Of its inhabitants, the average Of
assessed valuation being more than $1,000
for every man. woman and child. not in
cluding the contents Of the tin boxes that
are stored away in the safety vaults Of
the banks The city was also noted for
its rich widows and spinsters. but I sup
pose they are all married OF by this
time, SO great were their attractions.
The rapid increase in population has re-
duced the average Of wealth. and the
boosters are now Dragging of the growth
of their city instead. They claim 10000
population. which Is very likely. and Is
an increase from g., 442 during the last
ten years, and 40, 733 from the census Of
1890. More than AZ per cent Of the popu-
lation are foreign born. cannot tell you
the exact number at present, but five
years ago 31,156 Of the Inhabitants OF
New Bedford were born In Canada or
Europe. and 42, 6O6 were natives Of this
country. The children of foreign-born
parents were estimated at more than u.s.,

For a century and half New Bedford
was the headquarters OF the whaling trade
and still Is, although the scarcity OF
whales in the Atlantic has compelled the
whalers to send their fleets around to the
North Pacific, where they rendezvous and
outfit at San francisco The cheapness
of refined petroleum and the scarcity of
whales have reduced the business to q
minimum, but there Is an unlimited de-
mand for Oil and bones. No substi-
tute for whalebone has ever been discOy-
cred. and il sells for s. or IS pound.
During the last generation 1t was worth
only few cents a pound. In 1887 1t
came UP to So, and has been increasing in
price ever since, notwithstanding the sew
eral artificial and natural substitutes
that have been devised. There are old
whalers still living who remember when
this bone was dumped over the side of
the ship as waste, with an occasional
piece saved for 'scrfmshaw work." as
the sailors called the knickknacks they
used to carve in their idle hours to take

being Alderman F. Otis Guild, who

A TONIC FOR
The STOMACH
Many People Who Think They
Are Dyspepfics Need Only TO
Have Their Digestive
Apparatus Toned IN

Much of the dieting and treatment
for stomach trouble is worse than the
disease and often aggravates it.
Tone up the stomach to do its part
rather than cut down the diet to suit a
weak stomach. Reduced nourishment
means reduced strength for the entire
system including the stomach. To re-
store the weak stomach to strength and
health, it must be supplied with plenty
OF pure, red blood, for every act OF
digestion needs healthy blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People meet all the requirements of a
good tonic for the stomach because they
are an unequalled blood builder. The
pure, rich blood which they make slim
ulates and increases the flow of the
digestive fluids, removes any irritability
OF the stomach, soothes and strengthens
the nerves, and supplies tie stomach
with the needed strength.
Mr.. Howard S. Urban, blacksmith
OF Wrightsyille, York Co, Pa, who was
cured by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, says:
sSome time ago began to be troubled
with indigestion and my stomach be-
came SO weak that | frequently had to
vomit after eating. Food felt like a
dead weight in my stomach and would
