 Souvenir From Battle.
 Edmund Bennett of Bank street is the proud owner of a new walking stick, souvenir from one of the battles recently fought near the Ger man border. The cane was sent as a birthday gift by brother living in England. 1t was made from a part of the wooden section of field gun captured by the English in one of the battles with the kaisers forces. A third member of the Ben nett family was with the English troops and he got the wood from the captured gun and forwarded it to his brother in England.
 The latter conceived the idea of having a walking stick made from t. i The cane, which is highly polished and seemingly of considerab ble intrin- sic value, arrived here last night.

 Never Had Resolutions. Commenting on the letter of the so- cialists, published in last evenings $ Herald, in which he was criticised for refusing to enter on the minutes of the adjourned annual town meeting, resolutions giving all political parties equal rights in the use of the town hall and instructing the selectmen to take the steps necessary for the town to take over the water company's property, Town Clerk R. c. Usher stated this morning that he had never , received the copies of the vote, they having, he presumed, been destroyed before the end of the session. MT. Usher said that when Chair man Freeman took up both resolu- lions he explained that they were out of order Is they were not mentioned in the call, but he permitted the voters to act on them simply to get an expression of opinion
 The town officials have all refused to recognize the resolutions and they have paid absolutely no attention to them
 The vote concerning the use of the Town hall they claim was unneces- sary anyway It's purport, the social 1Sts claimed, was to give them the same privileges as are enjoyed by other political parties. The officials declare that no discrimination is shown against the socialists when d rental charge is made for the town hall for lectures which are given os- tensibly to spread the doctrines of I particular set of people. At election time the socialists and other parties as we'll have the free use of the building, but the seIectmen have ruled that at all other times the usual rental charge will be made.
 It is not expected that the select
 men will resort to litigation to force the payment of the bill should the socialists neglect to pay voluntarily, but it is likely that the party will find difficulty in getting the hall again un- less they liquidate the debt.

 Town Clerk Usher was busy today compiling the list from which Tax Collector w J. Hemingway will make out bills to be sent to the property owners on April h. While the amount to be collected is but about s2,2oO. the work of making up the list and preparing the bills is as hard as is en- tailed by the town tax, and both Mir Usher and Collector Hemingway have had a great deal added to the burden they are already bearing.
 MT. Hemingway will include the bills with the statements for town taxes which he proposes to have in the mails on March 31.
 Many of the sewer tax bills will be
