The train was stopped and the man- sled body was left in charge of a trainman. Dr. Herbert S. Rouse, medical ex- aminer, was notified and made inves- tigation. Permit was given for the removal of the body to undertaking rooms in Westerly. Rubini was about 40, unmarried and resided in Pierce street, Westerly.

A few more claims for exemption are pending in Rhode Island. and are only such cases that resulted from the calling of more registrants in dis- tricts obliged to fill vacancies caused by rejection.

The last increment of fifteen per cent. is now practically ready to £o to camp, but it is not known when the call to send this final quota will be_issued.

Rhode Island Claims Conservation of food championship in the recent drive, as is shown in a telesram sent o Washington, by Arthur He: ai- rector of the state campaign: “Rhode Island, with 108,742 signed pledge cards, each one representing a Dstinct family, claims highest per cent. of legitimate family enrollment and first place among states in pledge card campaign. Every rule laid down by vour department has been faithful- 1y observed.” Mr. Henins savs several states did not comply with the rules and enroll- ed thousands of persons who are not heads of families. One state enrolled 40,000 soldiers in a training camp: and in another school children were allow- ed to sign the pledge cards.

By way of increasing interest in recrai ing, Captain Hammond of the Thir- teonth, with seven motorcycles of the tandem type carrying fourteen men, came from Fort Getty to the Provi- dence recruiting station Saturday. Ma- jor Nash visited the station Friday and congratulated Lieutenant Hall, the of- cer in charge, on the excellent work he is doing in Providence. Perhaps Sergeant Chapman may receive com- p'iments for his work when opportu- nity comes. The following from Gleason’s to Lrawing Room _Companion, published in Boston, under date of November 26, 1853, a copy of which is in the Westerly PublicgLibrary, is of special interest at. thiS time: “A London correspondent of the National Tntelligencer says that a late calcula- tion by a Prussian officer of cxperi- cnce, respecting the military power of Russia, makes the force which the czar could employ in a FEuropean war, without the reserve, the local garri- sons, or the army in the Caucasus be- ing in any way reduced, to consist of 368 battalions of infantry, 108 squad- rons of cavalry, and 996 guns: or, in other words, in the eventualify of a European war, Russia could operate with a force of 500,000 men, without laying itself open to Great ain, Sweden, or to the Caucasus. In cass of a great war, Russia could operate, by means of her first, second and third reserves ,and the Cossack and Tartar forces, with 1,000,000 of compatants and with 1800 wuns.” This was pre- cicted just sixtv-four years ago. Local Laconics. Native turkevs are auoted at 60 cents a pound in Westerly. Many Westerly boys of the army and navy spent Sunday at home.

It is expected that the Sargent man- slaughter case will be finished in the supegior court at Kingston today. ‘Then w1ll come the case of the state against Patrick Quinn. of Narragan- sett, charged with an assault upon Success of this co-operative pias sale surpasses all expectation: WO WEEKS AGO we announced this big co-operative sale of Behr Bros. pianos. On the same da ) other large piano hcuses, in- different parts of the country, announced the same sale. Several other ii previously announced the same sale. And there yet remain about about twenty other fumis, throvg United States, to run this same campaign. . This is a co-operative selling campaign, conducted jointly by the Behr Bros., and about 50 piano'merchants, s different parts of the country. IT IS A COMBINED EFFORT ON THEIR PART TO PLACE 5,000 BEHR PIANOS IN AMERICAN HOMES, TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS OF THE LARGE EXPOI BUSINESS BROS. CO. AS MANUFACTURERS, ENJOYED BEFORE THE WAR. Our part in the plan consists in disposing of 100 Behr Bros. pianos and 60 Behr Bros. player-pianos nouncement MET WITH INSTANT AND TREMENDOUS SUCCESS. During the first day, after the announcement was made, since, sale has followed sale—success has followed success. . The best homes of this section have taken advantage of the most unusal opportunity to place a worth in their home. Here is a piano which has been prominently on the mar ket for mere than 60 years—a piano w any piano selling at 350 dollars, or thereabouts—selling, during this big co-operative campaign, you “UNDER THE HAMMER,” at 275 dollars each. You need pay but 5 dollars, as your first or initial payment. You may then pay the balance in small weekly payments, giving us as low as $1.75 per week. What an unprecedented opportunity to save money and hcw easy it is made to own one of the most disti pianos in the American market! But 18 Behr Bros. p'ayer-pianos remain to sell at §445 each N EVER HAVE WE known player-pianos to sell like these. iasm before. snapped up in a jiffy. Here was the Behr Bros. player-piano: The latest model, in beautiful mahoganies, walnuts and oaks. The grade was identically the same as the piano. And, moreover, it was equipped with the Standard Player- Action, than which a more satisfactory player-action has never been built. To give you a good idea of the dependability of this action, we know where hundreds of player-pianos equip- ped with Standard actions have been in daily use for five, six and seven years, upon which there hasn’t been as much as a five<cent piece spent for repairs. So, here was the Behr Bros player-piano; latest model; equipped with Standaud action, to sell for $445 Mabel Nicholas. The court will then come in at Westerly.
