Cooley, of the Spectator. was on the corner of Main and Shetucket streets. next to the Nor wich bank. andI that of the Weekly Tribune. established by E. c. Wells, was on the corner of Main and Union streets next to Moore's fruit store. Wells was soon succeeded by F. c. Stedman and Charles Platt, who were able to keep up the business of the omce for few months only.

Congressman Peter Goelet Gerry, who recently returned to Washington, told correspondent at the national capital that there was nothing new about the postnastership at Westerly. But. according to the correspondent, Rhode. Island visitors in Washingt on have said that MT. Gerry, during hIs trip through his district several months ago, promised several people that Post master Charles J. Butler, the repuDn- can holdover, whose term expired sev- eral weeks ago, would be retained. MT. Butler is said to be quite popular wlln members of all parties and his dis placement, it is said,would stir up con siderable i'll feeling.
 Tho. report brought to Washington recently did not say how long MT. But Ter would be retained in office, but 1t is believed that it will be until alter the November election, provided An drew Farrell, John Allen. George Bray, Horace Swan, Michael J. Burke, Jo- seph Chesebro and perhaps other dem ocratic candidates for the Westerly postma stership can be resisted for that length of time. The democrats 9e- lieve that the postmastershlp .spoiIS should go to a democrat, but have not agreed upon which democrat. No other poStnla asterSiip plumS in the second district are ripe for picking. and none will be ripe until after the November election.
 Representative Ambrose Kennedy, republican, is vigorously opposing the Moon bill reported from the commit tee on postoffices. of which he is q member. which would remove assistant postmasters from the protection of the civil service.
 The Baptist and Methodist Sunday schools of Noank spent Tuesday at At lantic Beach. They made the trip in two special trolley cars and, in coa- formance to rules. the cars did not change positions by running on the triangular rails in Dixon square. h. stead the cars were run short dis tance up High street, where the seats were turned, in order that the passen- gers would not be required to ride backwards to Atlantic Beach. This move was an inconvenience to the pas sengers that could not be avoided and reversed the position of the cars. The only remedy is the extension of the tracks of the Groton and Stonington division of the Norwich and Westerly Traction company around Clarks cor ner to connect direct with the track n Main street.
