The cheery song of the Mary- land yellowthroat with its fasclna(ing “witchity-witchity-witch” is being heard very frequently now, as this is one of bur most common birds. The Baltimore oriole has arrived, the bird which likes to build its nest near homes, nests often being so near a window that they can be reached— uptown these nests are often built on the extreme tip of a long branch, a great deal of string being used in its_making. The scariet tanager and the brown thrasher have been noted -and the sweet notes of the wood thrush are heard just at night. Sunday for the first timé bobolinks were seen and heard in Lowthorpe Meadows. Birds noted during the week of May 8 on Bear Hill were kingbird, rose-breasted grosbeak, least flycatcher, great- crested flycatcher, and summer yel- low Dird. The bird-observer there says, ‘“Early in the week a visit was paid to the wren who has built in a box in the back yard. She kedt up an agitated clatter almost identical with the sound made when a child lightly draws a stick along a picket fence. When the visitor went to the other side of the house she followed BULLETIN'S PATTERN SERVICE A SET OF SMART WRAPS, These pretty and fashionable capes are nice for wear over the pretty thin gowns of this season.

After the Westerly Fire district au- thorized a committee to purchase a motor-driven apparatus for the Alert Hook and Ladder, and not ‘confined to any specific appropriation, there arose a complication that may result in delay of purchase, or, perhaps, re- sult in no purchase of the much-de- sired new hook and ladder truck. The impression prevailed at the meeting that the Alerts had previously agreed that if the' fire district provided a motor apparatus, that the present company-owned and horse-drawn ap- paratus would be given to the dis- trict, ‘and thereby lessen the cost of the new machine. H. Everett Barns, of .the committee, having heard re- port to the. contrary, asked for infor- mation, and Foreman George Capron, foreman of the Alerts, was privileged to explain, although he had no legal voice in the meeting. Foreman Capron said he could not understand why there should be any misunderstand- ing on that point. He said the com- pany voted to turn over the hook and ladder truck and a set of-old ladders to the district. It was expected that the district would take over the 'set of new ladders and recompense the company for the same. This led M Burns to remark that, as he under- stood , the situation, the Alerts were to_give the district nothing of any value in connection with the proposed change in apparatus, as the present truck and old ladders were of little or no value in exchange, but that the new set of ladders could be used on the new apparatus and the cost there- of deducted. This feature of the proposition seemed news to the great majority of those at the meeting, but Chief Cot- trell did say at the annual meeting when the proposition was first made, that it would be. but fair to reim- burse the company for the new lad- ders. Tt has been suggested that this misunderstanding can be amicably ad- justed, as the concern that furnishes the new apparatus to the district, would cheerfully deduct the cost of the ladders from the price of the ma- chine, if the committee insisted that the ladders now owned by the Alerts be placed on the new truck. By vote of the district the commit- tee has full authority to purchase any make of fire truck, which in_its judg- ment is the most advantageous to the district, and therefore the committee will do more investigating _before reaching a decision. ; The Alert Hook and Ladder -com pany was organized as an independ- ent fire company about thirty vears ago, and-for several years was in real- ity a strictly independent company, and existed without any assistance from the fire district. The company owns the present apparatus and equipment. For more than twenty years this company has had quarters in the district fire house, has received yearly allowances, just the same as the other companies, and the district has furnished the horses to draw the company-owned apparatus. At the present time the Alerts are independ- ent, in comparison with the other ies, only to the extent that the d equipment is not the pro; erty of ‘the fire district. It sure is a fact that the company owns the laa ders in question and, if they are suit- able as part of the equipment of an up-to-date hook and ladder motor- driven apparatus, the matter of thefr purchase, ought not to prevent the in- stallation of a modern truck in the place’ of the, present antiquated ma- chine in a modern fire department. Hardly had the accommodation train from Providence to New London reached the station at Westerly at 10.46 Wednesday morning, an hour be- hind schedule time, when the cab of the locomotive became env;dopefl in . en; Jjumped from the cab, the former rush- ing for a line of hose in the tender and getting a stream of water on the blaze, 'while the latter ran to the bag- gageman and asked for the sending in of the fire alarm. One of the baggage- men ran to the fire alarm box in Canal street and pulied down the lever, but not sufficient to start the ala but just enough to strike the alarm bell in_the house of Chief Cottrell. In the meantime the engineman was fighting the fire with a well directed stream and extinguished the blaze, scorching his face and hands in his successful efforts.

PLAINFIELD Local Women Registering to Vote at School Election—Degrees Conferred at Grange—John Chance to Try Lifting Sand Bag. Plainfleld women interested in reg- istering to vote at the next town meeting for school officers and at all other meetings where school matters come up are said to be quietly adding a great number of names to their list of voters to be made. ” The people’s party organizers have also received 116 names to a list of voters who will support a people’s ticket. The idea appears to be that this ticket will run two . prominent women for the school committee. Should everything turn out as now expected, the people of Plainfield will have a good many names to chose from, republican, democrat, independ- ent democrat, people's, citizen, socialist and last, but not least, the suffragists.
