How a Westerly Fox Surprised His Rescuerers—Careless Smoker Caus- es Loss at Textile Novelty Company’s Plant—Starlings a Nuisance in Con- gregational Church Steeple. A Jewett City man has been told the following story by a Westerly ac- quaintance: Near Westerly there is a yvond w a dam at its foot. The pond is cov- ered with ice, thin near the dam. One morning last week o man discovered just above the dam about midway of the pond a large gray fox, frezen in the ice, he evidently having broken through ‘while attemipting to cross. Men and boys were notified and hvr- ried to the pond, but no one could get near enovgh to the fox to get him. Axes were procured, and a large sfrip of ice was cut off above the an mal and. the fox and the big ice cake went over the dam together. Evervbody ran around below, each hoping to be the one to get the fox. One, more daring than the rest was the lucky man. Tmagine the peculiar sort of a stung feeling that came over the party when the fox turned out to be a big, gray Tom cat! Shutting Out Starlings. ‘When the Second Congregational church was erected in 1876 the plars of the-architect called for the leaving of a number of triangular open win dows in the steeple above the bell dec; T since then the long reach of the <plre with its beams and braces has been a pigeons’ paradise. Of late a big flock of starlings have also taken tenements in the spire. The birds have made their presence prominent to a degree that has become a nusiance. The committee last weck had the windows boarded up. Many of the starlings refused to leave and took refuge away up in the peak. The “‘(\rkrv_‘.en fitted one window with a swinging frame that the birds left ir- side might get cut but no more could ;}l‘e(; The work was done by Scott od. Able to Leave Hospital.

QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION Get Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tab- lets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practici physician for 17 years and calomel’s old-time-en- emy, discovered the formula for Ofive Tablets while treatis patients for chronic constipation torpid livers. Dr. Edwlrds' Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, sooth- ing vegetable laxative. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to action.

I, Feb. 4—This port, the seat of a torpedo factory, navail base, the war college and other de- partments of high naval importance, was formally transferred from _the control of Collector of Customs Fitz- simmons to Rear Admiral Austin M.

Berlin, Feb. 4—(By Wireless to Sayville, N. Y.) Press decspatches have reached Berlin, according to which diplomatic relations between Germany and the United States have been broken off, says the Overseas News Agency. No official confirma- tion has been received. “In case the news is correct,” adds the agency, “the general feeling in Germany is regret that the American president gave to the German note an interpretation which was not intended by' Germany. The German measures are not intended to damage neutrais, but were caused by the necessity of defending Germany .against hostile measures which are contrary to in- ternational law, Germany's enemies, therefore being charged with the whole responsibility.” CREWS OF GERMAN STEAMERS CONFINED TO THEIR VESSELS Order Issued From the Treasury De- partment at Washington.

The president did not ask the sena- tor to take any immediate steps and told him that nothing had occurred so far necessitating the raising of ad- ditional revenue. - In the event that American ships and lives are lost\Qs a resuit of Ger- many’s new submarine policy the president_will follow the course out- lined in Friday’'s address to congress and appear before a joint session to ask for authority for necessary steps.
