When the air in their fourth-fioor |

nto Summer street and thence to Mer- 4
liant street for the purpose of familiar
zing themselves with new marching mu- h
&c recently received. People who heard =
he skirl of the pipes were wondering
What the celebration was for until it i
vas explained that the kilties were only y
n a practice march. The band swung n
rom Merchant to Warren street and h
hence to Maple avenue only to dispense
n that section when it became apparent a
hat growing crowd of youngsters, in Ii
GLOWING the pipes, were violating the u
pirit of the quarantine ordered by the q,
GARD of health yesterday. n

ave been cleaned by the government q,
rocess claim that the banks are partly AZ
esponsible for this condition. Inquiry n
evelops the information that only one 90
ank in Barre makes a practice of re.
lrning all unclean bills TO the treasury .,
apartment for washing, and the result
that the bank always has supply -
clean money on hand for its patrons. -
is claimed that other banks are not I,
'ger to supply their money customers -
it'll bills that have been washed. The =;

ashing paper money, charge which =,
ust be borne by the bank. Paper mon =,

pecially in time when extraordinary
forts are being made to cope with the II
fantile paralysis plague it is argued ~
