 The new Ego right" signs for rotary traffic at the Town Hall corner have arrived and were set up yesterday. This will cause the cars to slacken their speed when rounding the signs or else climb the bank. No parking signs are next in order and will soon be placed on Main street. But again may it be said here, that all the signs in the country are of no avail without some one to enforce them Strangers going through town or staying in town a few days pay ab- soIuteiy no attention to them. It is also the case of people living in towns around here. Paid police men, at least two, could be included in the town budget without send ing everyone to the poor house.

she would either pay her liberally for her accomplishment or adopt her and make her an heiress. In- stead she allegedly refused to pay Miss King "the fair value" of her services.
 Young Hartford, star racquets player, became infatuated with a New York woman in the summer of 1880, according to the plaintiff, so his mother prevailed upon him to come to Boston and enter Har- yard.
 But the strategy of moving away from the woman proved worthless, as she too changed her residence to Boston, and Hartford kept seeing her. Then Miss Kings s services were solicited, according to her story.
 She was asked to introduce and interest Hartford in girls of "ex- cellent morals and good social standing" and was promised the aforementioned reward should she do it so he would forget the undesirable" one.
 Hartford became so interested in 6 certain girl or young lady" then residing in Cambridge that he ceased paying any attention to the other, Miss King contends.
