The Ten Pin Club of Chelsea.

Ten ladies journeyed DER the hills
To see the sights of Barre,
And what they did my story fills
And made their husbands merry.
These ladies bought ten silver pins.
The husbands up and spoke:
"Just one of woman's petty sins,
Our women are a joke"
The ladies soon had laid plan
To bring the men to shame;
They formed a club as ladies can
With ten pins in the name.
The club is now a village glory,
Increasing year by year;
Its record is pleasant story
That Chelseaites hold dear.
The men are sorry for their Jest;
The pins have pricked them sore
The ladies laugh the last and best
And purchase ten pins more.

OLD PRISON SHIP
THROWN OPEN To
THE PUBLIC TODAY

Moored on the east side of Palafox
wharf and in berth easily accessible
from the street cars which go to the
dock, the old prison ship Success is
thrown open to the public today, and
it is expected that hundreds Of people
will make a visit to the historic craft
during the next few days. 1t is planned
to hold the ship open to the public
during the balance of her stay in this
port.
Last night, in preparation for the
reception of the public, the old ship
presented a gay appearance. Strings
of electric lights were carried from
jibboom to masthead, extending to
stern from atop three masts, a sight
seldom seen in this port. This gives
the vessel and berth all the illumina-
ton one could wish flor, and visitors
will be received even after nightfall-
The ship will not remain here long.
but will shortly after Christmas be
towed to other points, to reach New
Orleans about Mardi Gras for an I'M
determined stay. 1t may be said, how
ever, that this is the farewell voyage
Of the 126-year-old vessel, and persons
interested in antiquities would find
much Of interest on board the vessel.

WEATHER STOPS
WORK At STATION

On account Of the inclement weather
flying was discontinued at the aero
nautic station yesterday, and the
work of testing the new Curtiss fly
ing boats was held up. Sine the de-
parture of Lieut.. RAIDER, who was here
from the factory to test the machines
and who leaving the work incomplete
went to Miami to take charge of the
station there. the testing OF the new
machines has progressed very little,
and 1t is probable that the work will
be placed in the hands of some of the
aviators at the station.
Although the dirigible has been un-
packed, no assembly work has COM
menced, and this will probably be de-
layed until demonstration from the
factory in Connecticut arrives to
supervise the work. Little difficulty is
expected with the big craft, and it is
believed that trial flights will be con-
Quoted at an early date.

COUNTY OFFICIALS
IN AUTO COLLISION

Three county officials were involved
in an automobile collision yesterday
afternoon but none were hurt, and
neither of the two machines was Sc
riously damaged. The accident occur
red about two o'clock at the corner
of Spring and Gregory streets, when
an automobile driven by A. Cary Ellis
and a car occupied by Judge Kirke
Monroe of the court of record, and
James Macgibbon, clerk of the circuit
court, were in collision.
The cause of the accident is un-
known, but it is believed to have been
partly due to the wet and slippery
pavement. The car occupied by Judge
Monroe and Mr.. Macgibbon was struck
amidships by that occupied by the
sheriff, and knocked partly around the
corner. Practically no damage was
sustained by either machine, and the
occupants were unscratched.

up to and occupied a berth on the west
side of Commandments dock, where a
large supply Of fuel oil will be loaded
during the day. The oil was not OBJ
tainable last night, but three or four
carloads will be switched to the de-
stroyer's side this morning, and the
ship win perhaps remain a couple of
days in port
The Sterrett, under command Of
Lieut.. G.. w. Simpson, IS one of the
ships of division two, torpedo flotilla.
She has twin screws, has an indicated
horsepower of 10000, and is capable of

than the Roe, now in port.

The Sterrett, coming from Key

HOW FOOD SPECTATORS
JARED IN PANIC OF 1887

These times Of corners on eggs and
flour by spectators and owners of
refrigerator plants recall the days of
panic in 1867, when banks closed,
and even the government was unable
to meet its obligations. Coal was SO
ton and -four $12 barrel, and so
great was the distress that a meeting
was held in City Hall Park, the no
tice reading: bread, wheat, rent,
fuel! The voice Of the people shall
be heard!"
Eli Hart, in Washington street, who
was holding 10000 barrels Of flour
for higher prices, was denounced and
mob attacked his warehouse and
destroyed much Of his stock after he
had refused to sell TO the people at
the old price.
Then when the militia arrived the
crowd visited Helrick & Co.'S ware
house, and there they were outwitted
by a very smart clerk, who said:
Boys, don't destroy the -four, but
let everyone who can shoulder bar
81 of flour and take it home to his
family" To this all agreed, and hun
lreds Of homes were Immediately am
by supplied. Herrick saved much of
his stock, and quiet was restored to
