evening, April 11, at 7.30. It was voted

that the parish committee issue a war- rant for a special meeting of the parish to consider the matter of appropriating money for the care of the cemetery lot upon which the body of Rev. Nathaniel Emmons is buried. The meeting was a very interesting and harmonious one and clearly indicated the prosperous condi- tion of the parish.

paper for the evening, by the host, was read, which we give in part:

We realize the disadvantages the citi- zens are put to who are obliged to use the cars of other street railway compan- ies connectiog with the Boston Elevated street railway compeny by being obliged to change; and we believe that the legis- lators will take the part of the people and pass a bill wbich will put the matter in the hands of local authorities,

If the street railway systems in the cities of Worcester, Springfield, Fall River, New Bedford, Lawrence, Lowell. Newburyport, Providence, Buffalo and Cleveland can take into the centres the cars of connecting lines of street rail way companies, we can see no reasou why the Bostou Elevated system should not do the same thing, and we are at a loss to understand their opposition to this bill.

It is to be hoped that the outside roads will be given entrence into into Boston .- South Framingham News.

In all the evidence thet has been pre- Bented before the street railway com- mittte of the legislature in oppositiou to the bills which would give the local authorities in the cities and towos the right to grant connecting street railway compaoles the privilege of operating over the local companies tracks, it seems evident that it is not a fight between the Boston Elevated street railway company and Boston and Worcester street railway compauy but between a syndicate of New York capitalists who dictate the policy of the Boston Elevated and the people of our commonwealth.

Pockets and Principles.

A tailor who has made trousers for many statesmen and public men of the country for more thaa 30 years has a curious reason for his belief that the country is getting better. "When I was first in business," he said, "I never con !! put enough pockets in a pair of trou. . ers. I was one of the first tailors, in this lacallty at least, to suggest tw hip pockets instead of one, and I re- member I was called a benefactor, par- ticularly by my southern patrons. You lanow why, of coarse. There was a tim: when every gentleman carried his flask wherever he went. That is what ler to the second hip pocket. The gentle- man also carried a weapon of attack and defense. Slowly, hy degrees,. the extra hip was dropped, I think it was the weapon pocket that was dropped first, and of late years some of my pa- trons have asked me to leave out hoth hip pockets, and now I have a few cus- tomers who want no pockets whatever In their troasers. As a matter of good fit there is no questioa hut they are right, and I have always said that pock- ets are the cause of most of the baggy tronsers you see in the street. But aside from the sartorial side of the case, the absence, or rather, the ten- deney toward decadence of pockets in trousers is an indication to my mind that the world is getting bet- ter. It means that men are not so much addicted to the bottle, or to belliger- eney. Reform and good fits go hand In hand."
