Cats Of London Tower,

Two stories of the intelligence and sympathy of our feline friends were told nie during one of my numerous visits to the Tower of London while was living in England.
 Southampton was prisoner in the tower with the Earl of Essex during Elizabeth's reign, In some strange way or by some unrecognized faculty, fa- vorite cat of his found his abode and suddenly appeared to him, having made an entrance down the chimney. After his release by James L, South ampton had his picture painted with his faithful friend at his side. This portrait, believe, can today be seen at Wilbeck Abbey.
 The other tale is of Sir Henry Wy att, who was committed to the tower during the reign of Richard III, and suffered much from want of clothing and food. He would have perished if cat had not come down into his room and warmed him by lying on his breast and saved him from starvation by bringing in an occasional pigeon caught on the leads. Although the keeper was under orders not to im- prove his food, he agreed to cook any, thing which Sir Henry provided, and the pigeons which the cat brought sav- ed his life. He also had @ picture painted, showing the cat offering a pigeon through the bars of the cell.

The republican state and congress ,f,raI conventions will be held on the
 me day in Providence next week and 5. republicans of Westerly will meet
 ralicus next Thursday evening to
 iert delegates to these conventions.
 x probable that one set of dele- e ,es will be elected for both conven- ts,ns and that the delegation will be u7animous for the renomination or Cnngressman George H. Utter.
 The caucus in Westerly will De or a dual nature, as besides the selectlon o! delegates to state and congressional conventions, there will be the selectlon of committees of seven members eacn from the First and Second represent ative districts, which. combined VIII constitute the town committee. It IS therefore evident that the repupncan town committee of Westerly, accord ing to population, will be one or the largest in the country. In small cit fes the chairmen of the five ward committees constitute the town com mittee.
 But. in comparison, Westerly is ad- vantageously peculiar in many polft7 tical respects. Here, there are no hired political workers. the candidates for town and state offices are not re- quired to pay over to the committee from S10 to $50 each, as in many instances the total election expenses of the party is not in excess of $1O. There have been elections when the only party. expense was the payment of caucus advertising. Therefore, po- 1itical graft, so far as concerns cash, is yet to be introduced into local poli- ties.
 Later there will be other caucuses to nominate two representatives to the general assembly, one from the First district and one from the Second dis trfct, for in Rhode Island representa- tive districts. has the same signifi- canoe as the senatorial and congress sional districts in Connecticut. That is, there must be one representative resident in each district in the town, while in Connecticut even in the larg- CT cities, 1t would be within the limit of law to elect the two representatives from the game residence.
 In the nomination of a senator, the two districts are combined in one caucus, but the representatives are nominated in two separate caucuses. Senator Louis w. Arnold, who has represented Westerly in the upper branch of the general assembly for many years will probably receive re- nomination without opposition, unless Albert H. Langworthy, who has been representative from the Second dis trict for half dozen times. insists on promotion, and takes the chance of political ascendancy, or burial It is understood, however, that MT. Lang- worthy is no imitator of Steve Bro- die, and is a candidate for renomina- ton without apparent opposition.

 ton-Fifty Qualify in First District.
 The new layout of North Main street was completed last week. Section Foreman Thomas Culligan and his men finished the planlzing between the three tracks. The lines of the road way bordering the heart-shaped park are now visible, and the road is open to public travel. The railroad pro- lection gates have received attention, being looked over by an expert ma- chinist from Providence. They are in good working order. Many times dur ing the heavy winds last winter the operation of the tower had to be sus- pended and the crossing flagged by the man in charge.

C., for the return of the ballot boxes owned by the towns in Windham and New London counties which were sent there for the ,Higgins-J -Jodoin contest.

The sample ballot for the election to | be held Monday, October 2, arrived | Saturday and are being distributed for | the instruction of electors.

MISS OFun1py NorWlCn 9Iriy was Lne innocent cause of what might have been serious fire in Westerly, Mon- day afternoon. She is here with her father, Edward Crumb. who. is blind, on visit to her aunt, Mrs. J. AlonZo Peabody. MT Crumb is engaged in canvassing, and with his daughter visited the office of Eugene Pendleton in the Chapman block. Miss Crumb was seated near the open window and picking up a match thoughtlessly scratched it on the window sill. It immediately ignited and she threw the match out of the window. It landed in box of waste paper in the rear of Nashs news store, in the open alley way between the Washington Trust and Chapman buildings. This box was in the midst of lot of inflammable material, and in an instant there was volume of smoke and a blaze.
 MT. Pendleton rushed down stairs and commenced to fight the fire by re- moving the box of burning paper with the aid of several volunteers, while Policeman West ran to the rear of Clarks market for water and applied several buckets before the fire was completely extinguished.
 Though the promptest of action was taken a section of the side of the wooden Chapman building was charr- ed, and the fire would have gained the interior of the building had there been another minute of delay. As 1t was, the damage to the building is of very little consequence. In his efforts to remove the burning stuff, MT. Pendle- tons hands were painfully burned. Miss Crumk, when she realized that her careless|ess had endangered the building, became very nervous with excitement and expressed sincere re- gret at being the indirect cause. -of MT. Pendleton's injuries. The burns are not serious.
