During all this time the invader
made daily acquisitions for the use OK

supply OF 10000 pounds of smoking to-
bacco, 1000 pounds of roasted conee

the hnrassed officials who demonstrated
against the hardships that were laid
on the city and pointed to the state OF

ORDERS AND DECISIONS By The
MILITARY GOVERNMENT OF
MASSACHUSETTS AND TIE
oFFTCLALi

MILITARY GOVERNMENT OE
MASSACHUSETTS AND THE
CITY OF BOSTON.
There were so many of them that
there was no room for news on the
fdrst pages, even had news been per
mitted.
Within twenty-four hours the city
had been set bnck to its condition In
the seventeenth century when Boston'z
first newspaper was throttled by a re-
dictionary legislature.
The people of Boston did not know
If Connecticut had been conquered.
They did not know IL New York had
fallen. They did not know where their
army was or what it was doing. A
great battle might be deciding the fate
of the entire country, but no whisper
reached them.
AS in colonial days, they were. re-
duced to such knowledge as might
come from rumor or from information
whispered by those who learned some
thing by chance.
It was in this way that nearly every
body IN Boston came to know that in
the statehouse there sat a council,
dressed in uniform and bearing mill
tary rank, but In reality a council OF
men learned in International and
United states law. Surrounded by
great rows of books which they had
brought with them, these men were the
real rulers of the. conquered land
The commanding general and his
Geld stafr might act with summary atl-
thority under the rules of war. The
commanding generals name might be
signed to all the scores of orders that
issued daily, but this council of mill
tary lawyers acted as governors,
judges and soldiers at once. Their de-
cisions In all mooted cases, their in
geniously worded orders, were perfect
ing the eneny's complete possession.
No American, great or humble, might
go a step beyond the prescribed and
routine affairs of the day without fsest
learning what their orders were. No
man held property, whether it were
priceless or beggarly. except by their
favor. No man knew ut any moment
what remaining liberties might not be
taken from him ut word from them.

Here is what kilowatt is and the
formula for computing it:
First multiply the current by the
conscience of the proprietor of the cleo

ter on the wall and add whatever you
can't multiply. The answer will come
In dollars and cents. Just divide these
by the price you pay per kilowatt and
multiply again to find out what kilo-
watt is. 1t is something you can feel,
but can't see; something that you pay
for according to what some one tells

ter that runs by guess and by thunder
