Most Powerful Talisman.

In Rev. James Ridley's "Tales of the
Gent" one of the characters is Abu-
dab, a rich merchant of Bagdad who
is haunted every night by a horrible
nag. Seeking in dream the talisman
of Oromanes, which insures earthly
happiness, he finds it in love of God
and submission to the divine will. With
this talisman he is enabled to keep
the bag locked up and so free himself
from his nightly torment.

ABOARD GREEK SHIP NEAR
 DEATH BY BOMBS

Athens, Sept. 13, via London-(de- layed)-The Margarete. the boat in which Baron von Schenk, head of the German propaganda in Greece, was sent to Kayala to be turned over to the Bulgarians. arrived this afternoon with 1000 refugees who were in the most pitiable condition. They had been without food since Sunday and were packed in the ship like sardines. The refugees said that German aeroplane had dropped three bombs as the boat was leaving Kavala, which came within inches of striking the ship. @ An eyewitness who described the entry of the Bulgarians into Kavala on Monday said that three Greek reg iments which had remained in the town were given until 10 o'clock Tuesday morning to surrender as pris- oners of war. At the expiration of this ultimatum they Ngave up fthefr arms after. slight resistance and were taken up country.
 " The same man said that 5000 Greek troops had been camped on -Thasos Island in two camps. One camp of fered to join the Allies and the men
 N were shipped to Saloniki. The second contingent refused to desert the Greek army and the refugees said, the French propose to returp them to Ka- vala.
 Terrible conditions were described on the island of Thasos where several thousand refugees had fled from the invaders in rowboats and sailboats. They lacked every necessity of life and great numbers of women and children were camped out in the open without food. The refugees said that indescribab1e disorder reigned in Ka- vala where bandits were footing the houses and all the Greeks who could were taking refuge in flight. They said only three or four Americans re- mained in the town, the remainder of the colony having gone to Thasos.

Building Inspector Reports Big Increase at Meeting of Board of Finance Tax Rate Will Be Lower This Year Despite Projected Improvements.
Special to The Farrner.)


 stratford, Sept. 5-stratford's grand list will be increased by $4,S0o, 900, ac- cording to a preliminary | estimate made by the board of finance last eve ming at a meeting held in the town hall According to Elliott W. Peck, chairman of the finance board, Samuel W. Hubbell and Building Inspector Harry A. lBurnes, who have watched the tremendous growth of the town in the last year, the grand list this year for the first district will be $6, 800, ,000 and for the second, $1, 200, ,O00.
 This will be an increase of $1, BOG. 900 over last year. Although the assessors have not And will not be able to give the voters of the town an accurate es- innate of values of the new property and buildings in town for at least two months. the hoard of finance presented a rough accounting from the building permits issued during the year. More than $500. 900 is represented in per mits issued by Building Inspector Burnes since last December and by Dec. of this year the s1 ,OO0, 900 mark will be reached.
 MT. Peck said that it was the inten- ton of the board to keep the tax rate as low as possible. Judging from the growth of the town and increase in the grand list the tax rate most likely will be 1S mills for the first and l5 mills Tor the second. Last year the tax rate was 17.2 for the first and 16. 8 for the second.
 The board completed it's estimates for permanent improvements and has $70,0OO available. Among the per- manent Improvements voted and adopted were: Nine-room school building and site, Honeyspot road $50,000; completion of the Eli Whit ney school, $500; plans, specifications and four-room addition to Franklin school. Barnum terrace, s15,00O, and l concrete bridge to replace the decrepit structure known as Little Neck bridge, South Main street. Fred Van DeBogart made a motion, seconded by Samuel W. Hubbell, that the board instruct the town school committee not to exceed it's appropriations this year as has been done in the past. | The committee comprising MT. Peck and MT Hubbell, made the following recommehdations, which were later adopted, for appropriations for the various roads which need immediate attention. Si4 thousand dollars was recommended Appropriations were made as fol lows: South Main street. from Little Neck bridge to Lordship park, $2,OOO; Long Brook avenue. east of railroad bridge, $6O0; concrete Main street from East Broadway to railroad via duct, $1,50O; North avenue and Mich ols avenue, $500; Bruce avenue ex. tension, $500; Patterson avenue, $500; cobble gutters, Main street under rail. road viaduct, s200; bridge and widen ing of Freeman avenue, $500.
 The board will meet this evening to go over both the fixed current ant variable current expenses, as we'll a: | the list of permanent improvement l to see that there are no discrepancies in the figures. The lists will be sub mitted to Clerk Harold c. Lowell, wh' T will send it to the printer to be pub

RAPID FIRE ARTIST.
Champion Speed Painter of America
 Halls From Provincetown.
(Boston Transcript.)

Arthur V. Diehl is the name of Provincetowns prodigy. the rapid-fire artist. Crowds visit his studio, and actually buy his paintings. He is "the champion speed painter of Amer ica.'' The Provincetown art colony frowns upon him, probably because he commentaries art. It is true he does not follow the artistic profession for arts sake,' but makes a business Of it. He welcomes people to his studio and he paints pictures in the full glare of publicity. He does not care to hide his light under a bushel. The rapidity with which he works is amazing. He docs not paint from nature, but from
 memory. He paints in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, and in the evening his room is full of eager
 watchers, following the movements o1
 his flying brush.
