Wednesday was Dollar day in Wes- terly and there developed lively com petition between the regulars and the federals. those that enlisted in the original plan and those who did not. The regulars gave with each purchase a special ticket of admission to one of the movie houses for a special per formance between and o'clock in the afternoon, while the federals gave out tickets of admission to another movie house for the regular matinee or evening performance on Wednesday or Thursday and in this game the federals won out. There sure were some bargains in some stores for one dollar, but ahe greatest of all was where suits of clothes were sold for dollar, spring overcoats and trou- sers and children's suits for the same price. Of course, these were not of the 1915-1916 styles or patterns, but they were substantial wearing apparel just the same and the store man was glad to get rid of them at any price.
 Another attraction was the an- nouncement at the Nash store Of "A Dollar for a Nickel" which of course the cigar and nickel was the regu- lar price.
 While some goods, staple goods, were sold at prices reduced to dol lar, in many instances the Dollar day in Westerly was a sort of clearance sale of ancient stock, or such as was unstable, at any other time than on a special bargain sale day. Therefore the Dollar day in Westerly was in marked contrast to the Dollar day of some other places.

SOUTH RUSSIANS
 ARE GOOD FIGHTERS.
A People ef Quaint PhiIosephiss and
 Of Pleasant Ways.


 Washington, ID. C., Aug, 25,-rhe South Russians or the people of Lit tie Russia, from among whom the CO., lossaI Muscovite Empire draws some of its bravest, steadiest fighting men, are a people distinguished for their contradictory characteristics in land that is a puzzle to contradictions. The South Russians, the toughest fibre of the Russian armies, are a people full of interest, of quaint philosophies and of pleasant ways, according to bull Ietin just issued by the National Geo. graphic society. The sketch reads:
 "Between Central and South Rus sians, the contrast is as strong as be- tween the Prussian and the Bavarian. As in Germany. the vigor or the Tsars mighty empire is more sharp south, and yet in the case of both em- pires much of the natural strength and energy are furnished by the south.
 Russian life is sprightly in the south. In the north it is sullen, mo- notonous, oppressive. In the south land, too there is far greater dis play of well being and comfort. The northern peasant lives in scolorless vil- lages, in graytsh brown matched houses built of logSwhsch are stretch ed along unsanitary streets, redofent with the accumulations of careless ness Around these houses there are almost never any signs that their oc- cupants are making homes-there are no efforts toward gracinE improve ments. The roads are mostly just ground left between two rows. of houses:7 the yards are just ground left bare around themS
 'sFhe South Russian builds his home and orders his village. in the rule, pie | turesQue and inviting. There are gar dens before the door. and orchards round about. and the houses of the | village are painted white or pale green. Torches. balconies. glass and vine covered verandas relieve the architectural uniformity. There is more cleanliness. gaiety and softer manners in the south to tempt the friendly judgment of the stranger,
 The people of Central Rusmaa con- fess that they are often more harsh and mere neglectful of appearaneea than they of the south. but also they elatm that the northern RusskAns are more faithful. eonxlatent, sturdy and more tender than their hroeh@ru in Little Russia.

JACK ROSE SEES NO
CHANCE FOR BECKER.
New York Police Officer Doomed to the
Chair, He Says.

Becker, throwing up his insides,
thinks he can save himself. but he's
doomed to hang next Wednesday,
was the somewhat inelegant but terse
statement of Bald Jack Rose, one-time
baseball manager in this city, who
passed through New Haven on his way
to Madison.
Rose dropped off the train there and
made q bee line for the news stand
where he bought every available news
paper printed in New York. He buried
himself in these for fully half an hour,
paying great attention to the articles
dealing with Becker's fight for life,
Becker is just as guilty of murder
as the other men who went to the
chair. There are certain influences
trying to save him, but they cannot do
it This so-caIled eleventh hour ap-
peal is a fzzle. Everything Becker
has said in his latest statement is old
stuff and common knowledge, and
know that Mr.. Whitman, after prose-
cutting him. cannot now pardon him, ~
he continued.
who are the men trying to secure
Becker's pardon?" he was asked.
IT know, and the people in authority
know, but do not think it best for
me to do too much talking. It is

the reply.
IF he had turned states evidence
at the time the others did, do you sup
pose he could have saved himselfr'
We might have, but he can expect
nothing from this show Of repentance
He had the chance, but he thought he
they couldn't get him. They've got
him NOW and his squeal is too late.
