CITIES
TROUBLED BY RIOTS

London.-Great Britain appears to
be confronted by grave labor move
ment, compared with which the Lon
don strike just ended would be a
small affair.
Together with the furious street
battles in Liverpool in which one con-
stable was killed and 40 policemen, in
Guiding the superintendent, were in
jured, and serious riots at Glasgow,
comes the news of meetings of rail-
way employees at Liverpool, Glasgow.
Manchester, Bristol, Sheffield and 9TH
er large cities, at which threats were
made of a general strike of all rail-
way men, transport workers and
lockers, unless existing disputes are
settled promptly.
At a meeting of 1000 railroad men
belonging to the Midland, Great Cen
trail and Metropolitan lines it was
decided to call general strike on
all the railways and tubes in the
London district next Saturday unless
grievances were remedied in the
meantime.

HUMOR OF TIL: DAY
The Boy and the Ere.

A fat man was compliment pursu
ing his way through an east end cross
street. He carried an open umbrell;
and occasionally wiped his moist fact
on large silk handkerchief
Suddenly around the corner came a
small boy on a bicycle. He turned 81
quickly that the fat man had no time
to get out Of the way. nor had the
boy any chance to sheer away from
his bulky obstacle.
The front wheel struck the fat man
a glaneing blow. shaking his dignity
and scraping his leg.
AS for the boy. he and the. bicycle
went down with crash. Rnt the lad
was up again in moment and raising
the bicycle, bent over it soIicitously.
The fat man was mad. He was so
mad that he sputtered inconerently
and then with vicious swing of one
of his tan shoes Kicked a spoke out OF
he offending wheel.
There he roared. II guess that'll
teach you not to ride on the sidewalkr
The boy stared at the dangling spoke
what did youse do that forY' he
whined 1T took me all the year to
save up fer that bike-an now look at
it,
And he knuckled his eyes with a
grimy fist.
The fat man was touched. His rage
suddenly vanished. He fumb!ed in b S
pocket and drew out a dollar BILL
There. kid" he said, take this and
get the wheel fixed"
The boy let go of the machine and
grabbed the bill.
Say. youse can have tn bike. he
yelled and scooted around the corner
as fast as his legs would carry him.

This view of the waiter so pleased the council that they immediately arranged to ship the boulder 70 America, and 1t was exhibited to an audience of two thousand pecple, descendants or the settlers of the new Hingham, and otn- CTS, assembled in the arInory, where former Gcv. John D. Long presided, and Amba ssaGor Bryce, in presenting the historic stone, made an interesting address, saying, in conclusion, Tt is not only a continuity of language and Of blood that fingers in your veins. It is a deeper spirited continuity. which maintains the traditions and institu- tions of old England, the love of free dom, of lfgoEernrnelt, a sense of supreme duty to God, and a desire to worship God IS the individual wants to. Of all this, this stone is a pledge.
 Before the close of the exercises, MT. Long presented MT. Bryce a large vol ume with an engrossed address eX- pressing the thanks of the people Of Hingham in New England to the peo- pie of Hingham in old England for their gift, and extending to the am bassador the "ffeedom of the town" In accepting the testimonial, MT Bryce, who was evidently surprised and gratified, caid that the freedom of d town was unique in history; the freedom of a city was noI unusual, and he peculiarly appreciated the compii--. ment because he had always admired the system of local self government or the New England town.

 The celebration was in every way complete success. The decorations in the armory consisted of the flags oI the United States and of England; There was a chorus of one hundred and fifty voices with a fine orchestra The weather was perfect-real Nor wich weather-just such as we always have for our centennial celebrations!
 Although Hingham is twenty three years oldcr tran Norwich, it's popula- tion numbers only about six thousand. It is howe< CT, a beautiful old town, almost strictly residential, with no manufac ctorles and a minimum of DuS- mess, with wide streets well paved and shaded, with many old mansions and new ones that are quite in harmony. It is in fact a suburb of Boston. It possesses a fine library, com mparatively modern, founded by the late Albert Fearing with about fifteen or twenty thousand volumes to which accessloTss are constantly made. The book stacks are ample ard easily accessible; there is an attractive req ling room, and room especially designed for juvenile readers On the second floor is q com nnittee room, hung with portraits, and an unusually fine collection of min erals. The librarian, MT. Albert l.. Slepnenson, is not unknown in Ncr- ,yich! He was inclined to lament that the library was not quite as far up to date'' as it might be, since the loss by fire some time ago is not wholly re- plenished, For the credit of NC1wi Hh, I did not like to say that we should be glad to exchange on even terms! The people of Bingham appreciate the fact that a first-rate free library is valuable town asset.

BREED THEATRE.

Some of the largest audiences of the season have greeted the big picture programme at the Breed offered yes terday, and today, and have expressed the universal opinion that it was the best yet. The great Flood at Austin, Pa, is one of the prime features, and is one of the most complete pictures of it's kind ever shown. In the open ing scenes the great concrete dam is shown with all of it's broken sec tions twisted and turned about in op- posite direction from which they were built. Some of the immense sections weighing many hundred tons were carried by the great force of the waters, about one hundred and fifty yards, and the sightseers appear as so many tiny specks when compared with these immense artificial bouiders A complete tour of the town is made with all of the destruction carefully shown in detail. This is acknowledg- ed to be one of the finest pano- ramic pictures of an up-to-the- minute event yet made in the motion picture world. Great interest is manifested in 1t, particularly in the portion show ing the heroes some of which are girls, and some of which were soldiers The programme is replete with count CT attractions, one of which is the picture entitled Saved From the Tor rents; this is wonderful achievement in picture-making. The story tells of a through express passing little country station, which has for it's agent young fellow in love with the town belle. The brother of the girl is a wayward fellow, and having got ten into trouble is escaping on this through express. The agent is notified to nag this train and make it possible to secure the fellow, but the artful girl enttces the agent from the sta ton long enough to bolt the door un- til the train goes by then to her hor- TOT she finds another telegram wait ing telling that the trestle ahead is in danger of being washed away bv the flood, and she knows she has sent her brother to his death.
 He escapes, but how, is the charm of the picture, and must be seen to be appreciated
