 Sheltered Lafayette and Washington
 After the Academy. the best known building in this vicinity IS the old Plainfeld Hotel. or Eaton Tavern,
 
 sometime before 1750. This old tav- ern has sheltered both Lafayette and Washington and only a few years ago visitors were shown the Lafayette sleeping room, chair etc. Here the French troops were reviewed on their i march from New York to Boston at the close of the Revolutionary War DaboI1s Almanac for 1908 speaks of this as one of the most popular houses of entertainment between New York and Boston. A new part was added in 1920, and for years this was a pop uIar summer hotel. A few years ago the late Dr. Ball bought the estate and moved the new part on the lawn in front and called it Balls Block. The old part was renamed Lafayette Inn. Some two years ago the property was again sold and came Into the i hands of Walter l.. Palmer of Med- way Mass, who has moved the Ball l Block to a pleasant location on the old Providence turnpike and changed 1t i into a handsome two tenement house and has restored the hotel lawn to its {! former beauty. The old building, with 1 its quaint rooms and shaded piazzas, | remains much the same. Some of the rooms are used as tenements at pres | ent and many of the interesting relics | have been destroyed but the house is l rich in historic interest and the loca- l tion Is of unusual beauty. This is one | of the few old-time stage taverns 1 whose record Is clean. No tragedy has happened within its walls, no murder anG no disgraceful record. Just a | quiet pleasant old country tavern ot | the best class.

BIG STRIKE AVERTED.

Ninety-eight western railroad man.
ayers have agreed TO arbitrate theii
differences with $4,000 enginemen and
firemen. thus averting what threat.
ened to be one of the biggest calami
ties in years. The people of this coun
try can give thanks TO President VIII
son. who made a strong appeal to the
managers Of the railroads to place
patriotism above property interests.
The decision to arbitrate was direct
ly due to the plea OF President Will
son. He stated that at this time a
strike would be a national disaster"
The managers of the railroads are
to be congratulated for needing the
appeal OF President Wilson. Strikes
are horrible to contemplate. They
mean suffering untold. and loss of
property both to the employer and en-
ploye.
