chusetts from taking vengeance on the Pequots for the murders of Captain Stone and other Engiisll- men, saying You have come to raise a nest of hornets about our ears, and then you fee away" but his words were unheeded. The e1s petition destroyed the Pequot vil- lage on Block island and then wiped out another village on the mainland, the Indians escaping In both cases.
 Infuriated, the red men began . series of depredations upon the l Connecticut settlements, culminat- ing in April, 1887, with a surprise attack on Wethersfield where they killed three women and six men,
 destroyed cattle and took with them two girls. Flying the shirts and smoclss of their victims on poles, they padded defantly past the Saybrook fort and returned to their home lands between the Thames and Mystic rivers. T
 This final blow forced home the realization that the Pequots, who already dominated all of the Ir1- | dian tribes in the territory, were determined to drive out all whites from the fertile Connecticut river valley; and the understanding that only by an offensive war could they be frustrated in this intent. War was declared on May i and the general court immediately pro- ceeded to levy total of ninety men from the three plantations. together with the necessary arn- intuition and supplies. Mason was placed in command with Lieuteff- ant Robert Seely as his assistant.
 Learning of the decision, Uncas, chief of the Mohegan tribF. sensed an opportunity to supplaht the Pequot chief, Sassacus. and to become the ruling sachem in this section. He proposed an alliance with the English which Mason against advice of the others, ac- cepted. The members of his com- pany, however, were fearful of
 treachery on the part of the In- dians and remained in a state of alarm until Uncas furnished defi- mite proof of his allegiance. ta

two exists for such public places as beer taverns. The fire marshal of New Britain has also taken up the cudgels for non-interference of ex- isting fire ordinances by the liquor commission. The question raised publicly by Fire Marshal Lahey has apparently developed into a state- wide controversy.
 From one William Prouty of Williamstown, Mass, comes the suggestion that wax-sealed doors should satisfy both sides. If the doors were closed and properly sealed with wax they could be let tered fire exits and used only under such an emergency. It would comply with the state liquor boards contention and would be within the spirit and intent of fire ordinances, so Mir Prouty writes. Fire Marshal Lahey, however, claims that the fire ordinances take precedence over the state liquor boards opinion that the safety of patrons must be considered before the suspected weakness of H. censed dealer to sell beer or wines illegally. The doors sealed with wax doesn't appeal very strongly to the local fire marshal.

The local man charged Presi- dent Roosevelts administration with increasing the outlay for the sinking fund and interest on the public debt by over $186,000, 900 for the coming, fiscal year of 1885 without first asking or seeking ap- proval from congress.
 He declared that the increase is being negotiated through a system of indefinite, yet permanent, ap- propriations. He added that he has obtained from the democrat now in charge of the treasury supply bill the admission that the boost was occasioned by the Roosevelt administrators relief program.
