Welch relative to the purchase of the burned preperties, and ascertain whether he would be willing to part with his possession, and. if so at what price. There is a timent in Westerly that the prop- m' should be secured, if possible, for a site for a new town hall, for which there is a great meed. If this copld be effected, there would be no more stables in Dixon square, and the town would -be better served by having a town hall with the town clerk’s and other town offices better accommodat- Should Mr. Welch consent to name a reasonable price, the committee of the board of trade belieyes that the ways and means for the purchase could be arranged and that later the state could be induced to join with the town and erect a building suitable for town and court uses, the structure to be a joint town hall and county court build- ing like the one located in Norwich, although perhaps not so large or im- posing. The committee is soon to ar- range for a meeting with Mr. Welch, so that if an option is to be held on the property it be obtained before Mr. Welch commences rebuilding, There has been some talk that a plan _was on foot for the purchase of Conuuttee Authonzed to Get James A.

One of the offi+ cers and very active members of the church, stated that he believed the talk of acquiring the church property was simply talk and nothing more. He said the church property was not for sale. In the event of the Welch property being devoted to public uses with ten- dency of a beautification of the sec- tion, it is believed that the First Bap- tist church edifice would be materially improved. Ik throwing industry is to be n Westerly, starting in a mod- erate basis with expectation of grad- ual growth. Several years ago Wash- burn & Son of Coventry, Conn., were engaged in the business here, and were succeeded by others, which dnally evelved into the Westerly Silk com- pany. since removed to Norwich. Now William Washburn,' the junior meniber of the former firm, is about to start the business here again, with Martin Morgan, a former well-known West- erly silk worker, as superintendent. Mr. Washburn has leased the sec- ond floor of the Stone mill in Main street and is busily engaged in estab- lishing the plant, expecting to begin overations within two weeks. Elec- tricity will be used as motive power and if business warrants the entire building will be leased and supplied with machinery and give employment to many people of Westerly.

F. Beede, besides telling of existing (‘on» ditions, calls attention to reforms and needed extensions to the present sys- tem of education in the local public schodls. The superintendent strongly endorses the trade school project, for which there has been much agitation recently, He also recommends a voca- tional school and points out where the efficiency of the teaching corps could be increased. He favors a retirement fund, not in the sense that teachers should be re- tired on a pension out of the public funds, but upon a basis similar to the Carnegie foundation fund for ocollege professors, the = money oommg from phua.nthropu: sources: On account of the great prepon- devance of female teathers in.the pub- lic schools he suggests that more male teachers be enployed. This is not a question of comparative efficiency of men and women, but simply a well- known fact that the influence of men and women both are needed in the bringing up of children. He suggests an extension to the system of medical inspection so as to include an exam- ination of the ears, eyes, feet and throat of vpublic school children. The attendance table shows that for the past 20 years the total increase ini average enrollment has been 9,621.1, or an average yearly increase of 481.5; for the past 10 years the average an- nual increase has been 640, and for the past flve, 758. This latter number may be regarded, with arwroximate accur- acy, as the average annual increase in the number of pupils in the schools at the present time and is a falrly definite index of the additional school accommodatijons that should be pro- vided each year.

Involuntary but acdcurate imitation of a lump of coal cost Willlam Thompson of No. 15 Bowery an hour of fright yesterday afternoon at neey strect and the East river, 7T pson was at work. on a coal pocket and needed to get to its opposite side. He ordinarily would have walked around the edge, but water thrown on the coal had of husbandry, and not alone is New England but is the country as a whole, frozen and he tried a short cut, ‘When Thompson was in the center of the coal the ice broke and he went Mr. Wood points out that while im- ports of wool last year were double what they were the year before, the American wool production rose only from 311,000,000 to 328,000,000 pounds. But the exhibit for New England particularly bad. Mr. Wood contrasts the presemt rumber of sheep in the six i\!ew England states with the number n 1891: 1891, 1909. Mae .3 G0N «e.

There are 258 sheep to the square mile in thickly settled old England, and 9.6 in New Engiand, and Mr. Wood adds: “In the West Riding of York- shire, the great and ancient seat :f English wi manufacture, there are now kept 730,000 sheep, producing 4.- 250,000 pounds of wool, or more sheep and wool than we have in all New England. If our British kinsmen can do_these things, why cannot we?” Why ean't we? Mr. Wood would be gladly heard from in answer, but he offers no opinion or explanation. Did he have in mind the fact, as he wrote this letter, that the vear 1891 marzced the application of higher protection than ever to wool, and that under this high protection, applied through the McKinley and then the Dingley taviff law, the great decline in New Engiand sheep raising has gone on? Did the thought wanderingly lurk in his mind that thickly settled England, with 24 times more sheep to the square mile than' New England, has free trade in wool By all means let the resourceful Secretary Wilson give his special ai- tention to this matter; and while wait- ing for his conclusions, will not Alr Wood agree that to ail appearanccs tariff protection on wool is worse than useless to all of this country save the through with a yell. The other work- men were amazed to see him sink raipidly as if in a quicksand. Thomp- son went down and down till the conl closed above him. Though he could no longer be seen, his screams were audmle, Employes of the yard all rushed out and tried to help, police reserves joined the rescue squad and everybory was working llke mad, while Thompson's muffied cries rose from farther and farther in the coal. ‘Then someone sent for fire truck No. 18 and, with greater experience, its foreman ordered his men to pull out the side of the pocket, which rose about 26 feet. Hooks and axes s0on made a hole about seven feet from the ground and the coal poured out Thompson came pouring out, 0o, in & minute, but the coal refused to for sake him. All the rescuers could see was the top of his head and his arm and hand held up. came down with the coal, which rapidly piled up on him and the pavement.
