leadership of Archer Benger. won de-
cerved applause. The numbers were
artistically rendered, and the young

ists are experts in handling the banjo.

ed in presenting statistics concerning
fraternal organizations. The speakers
were thoroughly familiar with the his-
tory and good work that has been ac-
complished by the New England Order

benefits to be derived from member-
ship in the same in such a manor that
it could not fail but prove attractive to

Mayor (3.1. Glovbi
Receives Complaints
Regarding the Speed With Which Some
Automobiles Go Tearing Through
the Streets.
Mayor Charles L. Glover. of Nor-
wulk. is almost daily receiving com-
plaints about the speed at which au-
tomlbiles traVel through the city
streets. Oue resident of the Green
told the mayor that automobilists pass-
lng through town cnroule to Bridge-
port, start at it very fast gait as soon
as Mill Hill's summit is reached and
go tearing along Newtown avenue.
Many chauficurs speed up in lower

As a result there are many
Burrow slum from collisions at the
foot of the Hill. where Smith and
Brook streets intercept Wall street.
The mayor, howuver. is almost pow-
erless to do anything. as the legisla-
ture has fixed a rate of fourteen mileo
per hour and any city ordinances
would be void. owing to the fact that
they would conflict with the state law.
The speed allowed by the state law
is exceeded every day on the city
streets. but as the city officials at pres-
ent have no method of telling how
fast an automobile is going. conviction
for over-speeding would be hard to
make.
Every day West avenue has the up
pearance of a race track on which. an-
tomobilists‘ are attempting to excel

ABERDEEN. Wash. Oct. 28.—A fire
which promised to equal in magnitude
that which recently destroyed the ma-

blaze was discovered in the center of
the commercial block. With irides-
crlbable rapidity it spread .to the (liars.~

block and the Y. M. t‘. A. building. The
fire department was at first utterly
powerless to stay the progress of the
flames which the wind drove toward
the unburned portion of the town. The
commercial block contained ten stores
besides several which opened tempor-
arily quarters after the recent fire.
The Glasgow block contained eight
stores. The fire is now thought to be
under control. There were no fatall-
