McCarthy, of national (biscuit) fame, was the bright shining light at the start, but {his light flickered and was doused be- | fore the session closed. Mr, McCar- |thy, who was once known as the Mayor of Pleasant View, a practical joker, served as toastmaster, and was having a lot of sport at the expens! of his brother Elks, when .he was dragged from his_high position by Chief of Police Tom Brown, on a charge of the theft of the venison, twhich, with an abundance of turkey, | served as the mainstay of the banquet {menu. The charge was preferred by | George Albert Clark, recently return- ied from the Maine woods with a_cou- | ple of deer. Soon after returning home | with thé game, Mr. MecCarthy con- ceived the idea that it would be some joke to steal about forty pounds of Mr, Clark’s venison, just as a joke, land serve it to Mr. Clark and the other Elks at the banquet. McCarthy's idea was communicated to Clark by | his partner in business; B. Court Bent- 11ey, and the taking of the venison was i made easy for McCarthy, with the aid jof Bentley. McCarthy supposed that | the matter was a secret between him- i self and Bentley and he posed not only jas toastmaster, but host at the ban- iquet. As a matter of fact the playful theft was made known to every Elk at the banquet, and they were ready to applaud Chief Brown when the toastmaster was arrested. A speedy trial was demanded by Clark and in a jiffy Judge Oliver H. Williams was in readiness to preside at the mock trial. A jury was em- panelled, there were lawyers for the plaintiff and _defendant, and the trial proceeded, witness after witness tes- tifying for the plaintiff and there were none to support the plea of innocence made by McCarthy, True sport that he is, equally pleased with the joke upon himself as if he had played it on the other fellow, he entered into the fun and, regardess of Jjudicial courtesy, he questioned the veracity of every witness and even that of the presiding chief justice. Of course the trial was by jury and some of the jurors even assisted counsel for the Plaintiff in the prosecution. The jury returned a verdict of guilty and the judge pronounced sentence. What was the sentence Ask McCar- thy, as the other Elks are pledged to secfecy on that matter. In the matter of issuing liquor li- censes in Westerly, it has been the custom for the clerk of the council to give public notice that applications would be received up to a specified time, with the understanding that tar- dy applications would receive no con- sideration. The council at the last meeting authorized the clerk to receive applications at any time, to publish same as required by law, fix- ing time for public hearing before the town council, on condition that the applicant pay for the advertising. Al- ready three of the rejected applicants have filed new applications, and prob- ably the other two, and then some more, will do likewise. But, in the meantime, the license period grows shorter and the fee re- mains unchanged, which will probably serve as a check to continuous appi- cations. Westerly and its people are much interested in the success of the Bab- cock and Wilcox boilers, as both Messrs. Babcock and Wilcox _were Westerly men and William D. Hoxie, of Westerly and Brooklyn, has active interest in the big corporation. It was Stephen Wilcox of this concern, who made possible Wilcox park and the Memorial and Library building, and so liberally endowed that they will probably be maintained to the end of time. Therefore, this article in the Army and Navy Register, is of local interest: “The Babcock and Wilcox company has recently received an order from the Matson Navigation company of San Francisco for eight large boilers and super-heaters for their new freight and passenger ship now build- ing. The vessel will operate between San Francisco and Honolulu and will be a companion ship to the Matsoni which has been in operation for se: eral years.

It was found, however, as soon as the vessel went into commis- slon (that is, when loading the first cargo) that the Babcock and Wilcox boilers were even better adapted for handling the deck winches than the Scoteh bollers, and the latter were only used as spates, or to assist in develop- ing maximum' power in combination with the Babcock and Wilcox boilers when in free route. It was a nat- ural development, therefore, that Bab- cock and Wilcox boilers and super- heaters should be used entirely in_the new ship, which will be a model of elegance, comfort and first class equip- ment in every way asel will The civil suit brought by Albert A.)% Vaslet against Andrew" J.
