 Spontaneous combustion was the cause of fire discovered early Thurs day morning in the coal bins of An drews & company on lower Main street. Both the Cyclone and Rhode pertinent were quick to respond with the autotrucks and had water playing on the blaze. It took only 8. few min- utes before the fire was under control, although President Oliver c. Andrews remained on the premises for the rest of the night, lest the blaze should again break out. Little damage was done to property.
 The late fall suits residents of Pleasant View, and some 250 are still at the shore enjoying the fine wealth CT. Now they are disturbed because the electric light service that they. have had for the past three or four months has been done away with for the remainder of the year. That the cottagers are much incensed over the act of the Westerly Light and Power company is putting it mildly. Some of the more wrought up members of number. volunteered to have an inter view with the management Of the Westerly company, tried to investigate the matter and find out why they were being treated so. but they received no satisfaction. They were informed that the light committee of the town had instructed the company to shut off the bower and they had simply followed instructions. It was learned that tile extra lights used at Watch Hill during the summer had also been shut off, but the lights at Weekapaug were still burning as brightly as though the sea son was at it's height.
 It has been customary to have light service at the shore resorts until the first of October. but for some unex- plained reason 1t has been taken off the middle of the month. There are 5S cottagers still at Pleasant View who had intended to remain until the first of October.

PRESIDENT WILSON
Unable to Appear Incognito in Broad.
way, New York.

New York, Nov. 16.-President
Wilson found Saturday night he
could not hope to obtain rest in New
York, even when he appeared upon
the streets as a private citizen. He
tried and failed.
After spending the day playing
golf at the Piping Rock club on Long
Island Mr.. Wilson returned to this
city and announced that he intended
to spend the evening quietly at the
home of his friend, Col. E. M. House,
in Fifty-third street. He changed
his mind, however, and at $3.50
o'clock Saturday evening he and Col.
House started for a stroll on Broad
way. They were attended only by a
couple of secret service men. who re-
NAMED some distance in the rear.
Soon the president and his escort
halted for a moment to listen to the
music provided at a Salvation Army
open air meeting, and right there Mr..
Wilson's incognito came to an end.
Its Wilson! It's President Will
son." shouted the discoverer.
Instantly the Salavationists were
deserted as the listeners began 70
follow the president and HIS host.

The secret. service men closed in
quickly.
The suggestion was made as they
reached Forty-fourth street that they
seek the Waldorf Astoria hotel.
where DR.. Cary Grayson. the presi-
dents physician, is a guest. The no.
tel was reached safely and the Off
GERS made a lane for Mr.. Wilson. As
he gained the door the president
turned and waved his hand, crying.
"Goodby; I'm going to get away from
you now"
AS the crowd surged around the
Thirty-fourth street entrance Mr..
Wilson, Col. House and their guard
ians were taken to the second floor
in an elevator and spirited out on
the Fifth side. AS they
gained the street the president
caught sight of a painting of Mrs.
Wilson in the window Of an art store.
The president stood sadly and ST
lently before the window for a few
minutes. the crowd evidently forgot
ten. Then the secret service men
hailed a Fifth avenue bus. and In
this vehicle the president of the
UNITED States, his exploration OF the
city ended for the night. rode to the
home of Col. House.
