 Rev. John k. Stubbert and Mrs. J. E. Burleson represented the Baptist church at the Associ stion in stafford last week Tuesday and Wednesday ,re- porting excellent meetings.
 The Messrs. Haven, proprietors of the restaurant in the railroad station at Providence, accompanied by their mother, visited Putnam on Thursday. They formerly resided here, and came to look over old scenes.
 
 The proportions of playground work in the big cities are vividly suggested by the figures given in the current re- port of the South Park commissioners of Chicago. During the year they con- ducted two golf courses, lss tennis courts, 31 baseball diamonds, 25 foot ball fields, II swimming pools ,one lake bathing beach, Is wading pools, 20 in- door gymnasia, 22 outdoor gymnasia and athletic fields, l2 children's play grounds and 13 sand courts.
 There are those who still retain faith in the country and its business future-even in the cotton manufaetu- ring industry where depression has been especially pronounced and pro- longed. They Iseem. to sbe so: excep D. tional, however, that the decision of the Lincoln mills shareholders at Fall River to increase the capital stock from s700 900 to $1 ,250,00 and build g second mill of 5000 spindles, is prov ing rather startling to textile. circles.

CAMORRISTS TO REFUTE
BETRAYER'S TESTIMONY.
Accused Priest Gives Memoirs
TO LAWYERS.

VITERBO, Italy, March 25.-Attor-
neys for the defense today consulted
with their clients on the counter at
Gennaro Abbatemaggio when the
Camorrists' trial is resumed Tuesday.
The accused declare that they would
refute their former associates "inven-
tons"
Abbatemaggio's cleverness in telling
his story yesterday filed the Canon
Tists with rage. The informer made a
deep impression, and lawyers for the
defense today decided upon questions
to be put to him on cross-examination,
In the hope of d~iscrediting his testi-
mony.
The priest, Giro vitozzi. delivered to
his lawyer the memoirs which he has
been occupied in preparing during his
confinement.
Placing the manuscript in the hands
of his adviser the priest said:
"They are flesh of my flesh. They
are h cry of a martyr whose spot
less conscience must appeal to JUS
tice.'
The memoirs contain a repetition of
matters already known, an attack upon
the ~jailers at Naples, who are described
as worse than those of the inquisi-
tion,' and wind up with an eulogy of
the author, who appears to be con-
sumed with self-pity. His whole life,
he says has been devoted ito reclaim
ing lost lambs to the fo.d." Z
