With provisions and bedding on their backs they went down through Eastford and from there by the hill road to Abing ton. At distance of two miles from Abingdon the "buneh" stopped to cook dinner. Then afier d short rest they went on through the village, stopping only to secure more provisions, and proceeded directly to the General Put nam Wolf ben, two miles beyond. There supper was cooked and an all. night campfire started. The "bunch' v gathered around the fire to listen to the story of the den. Then someone started a song and for half an hour the quiet forest resounded with music. Finally all became quiet as each one sought his own couch on the bare ground, leaving two of their number on watch by the campfire. The follow ing morning after numerous photo graphs had been taken the hike WAS once more resumed and camp WAS reached about 20.
 On Saturday evening the Prevalent male quarlette of Worcester gave a concert in Assembly Hall to a fair. sized crowd. The concert was for the benefit of the Eas tford public library.

 On Saturday, August 8, the Camp team lost to North Woodstock on Rumsey field by the score of 3 10 5. In spite of the difference in experience and age between the Camp Eastiord team and their opponents, the home team put mp a great fight and their defeat was due only to their poor work with the stick. The North W oodstoek team was able to do very little with the Camp pitcher, T. Marvin.

Patrons Fear Police.

NEW YORK. November 29.-Gambling
houses in New York are closing for
lack of patronage. The police are spying
on those who frequent the resorts and
serving them with John Doe subpoenas

This is the news at police headquar-
ters where it was said that Police Com
missioner Waldo in new crusade
against gambling had adopted a plan OF
instiling the fear of exposure into the
hearts OF patrons substitution for
raids, which are often fruitless.
Detectives are put on the trail of per-
son leaving a gambling house. who fol-
low him to his home. There he is served
with a subpoena to appear in court and
testify against the gambling house. Usu-
ally, it is said, he begs off. On promises
never again to return to the resort many
have been let off. ii is asserted, and not
only have they kept their promises, but
spread the news of their narrow escape
to other patrons.

ACIDS IN LETTER BOXES.
Sufragettes Cause Loss to Thousands
in London.

LONDON. November 2o.-The ingenuity
of the militant suffragette party has
broken out in a new direction and in a
manner likely to cause Inconvenience and
loss TO thousands of people. IT took the
form last night of an organized raid upon
the pillar letter boxes throughout the
city of London. in the west end and
many of the suburbs. and also in several
provincial towns. including Birmingham
and Nottingham
When the postIuen went on their even
ing rounds to collect the letters they dis
covered in the boxes acids and black
sticky fluids OF various kinds, in some
cases infamrnab!e materials such as rags
soaked in paraffin. AS result Of this
the addresses on the letters In a large
number of cases We're partly or wholly
obliterated. The outrages were carefully
organized. The method generally en-
ployed was the thrusting into the box OF
a long unsealed Envelope, containing an
open bottle OF fluid.
Another method was to pour acids and
varnishes into the boxes by means OF
India rubber tubing In a few cases the
contents OF the pillar boxes were set on
fire.

Giants in Armed Neutrality.

Instead of competition. instead OF the
battle of the giants which was promised,
we have the whole industrial. field occu-
pied by giants. but resting in armed neu-
traIity They found It would not pay TO
fight one another: that they could better
afford to get all the traffic would bear
and divide il equitably among themselves
Those who talk to you in these days
about competition must be looking for the
resurrection day.
Whether competition is a good thing to
preserve or not, | am not now going to
discuss. I am stating the fact that. so
far as the man in the street is concerned,
IL is dead. The effect and benefits OF
competition never reach him. And If all
this effort to regulate and control or de-
stroy the trusts or combinations is not
to serve him: II our efforts and our leg
islation is not to reach in actual effect
the man on the street.-the masses of the
people-then il is utterly vain. Ii it is to
continue to be simply a scholastic enter
tainment, great intellectual fete or dis
play of logic between lawyers, with no
actual result 20 the people, certainly We
have something to do in finding some
other plan and purpose with which TO
deal with this profound and far-reaching
