Wednesday evening George Woolford was enjoying a ride on the Wrentham road, and iu the vicinity of old pine tree

collided with an electric. The carriage was smashed, the horse running away with part of the wheels to the stable here. Woolford was cut on the head, enough to require the services of a sur- geon. It is understood that the motor- man was blameless.

Passengers wishing to board the cars at either of the hills mentioned above must wait for the cars at the top or at the foot of the bill.

The Foresters celebrated the Fourth by having a smoke-talk at their rooms in the eveurug. Addresses were delivered

by Deputy High Chief Ranger Grady of North Attleboro and members of the local court, aud instrumental and vocal music, with the serving of refreshments, filled ont the remainder of the program. A number of brother Foresters from Medway and Holliston were present and the event was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

A couple of men got into an alterca. tion on the street here the night before the Fourth, and it seemed as if they had exhausted all the worde in the English language, but when it is remembered that Shakespeare had a vocabulary of bont 13,000 words, Milton had 0,000, Pope used 7,000. the average business man had about 600, and a common lahor. er has ahout 150, it can be seen that probably these gentlemen left a few words unused.

Shield Its Eyes.

It is frequently noticed on our streets when babies are taken out for a ride that the sun is allowed to shine in the little one's eyes, and the mother or whoever pushes the carriage seems to mind notha- ing about it. A physician, in speaking of this matter, said that it pained him exceedingly to see so often on the streets thoughtless mothers, when tak- ing their infants out in baby carriages, expose the little darling's nusheltered face and eyes to the direct blaze of the

sunshine. The babe blinks its eyes

from the scorching rays, and turns its head this way and that to avoid suffer- ing, but the careless mother pushes on, and if the child gets through withont serions injury to its eyes the mother is not to be thanked. The remedy Is easy. Shelter the child's eyes with an awning, or place the child in the other end of the carriage with the other end forwards, This is a matter of more importance than mothers are apt to imagine. There is danger of the eyes of the habe receiv- ing permanent injury .- Exchange.

The Fourth In Town.

Seldom bas Franklin seen a more quiet Fourth of July ; except so far as the pass. ing of people through the town was con cerned. These went through here by the thousands to Lake Pearl and llong Luke, many people taking in hoth re-

obliged to witness a defent to the home team by the score of 0 to 0.' 'The Carter team was handicapped by the absence of strong;players, it being difficult to pick up good men so late, owing to the de- maud for them. In the afternoon they went to Arlington where they were rein- forced by a number of the North Attle- boro men, as that team had no game for the afternoon. The Carters put np a fine game, and apparently had it won. when the Arlingtons won ont iu the last inning, II to 10.

If the contest is to be waged un most capacity. It is variously timated that during the day from 4,000 to 8,000 passed through the gates, Man- ager Enregren provided the usual park attractions of music, specialties, etc., One of the most sadly impressive sights witnessed here in a long time was the funeral procession of honor which at tended the hody of the late Charles J. Mckenzie from the house to the station on Tuesday morning, ahont fifty of our which with the water aud other at. leading citizens marching with measured tractione served to occupy the time of

the pleasure seekers.

Hoag Lake was simply overrun with people seeking fresh air and diversion, and this the management provided in unlimited quantities to the estimated number of 15,000 people. All the cars to and from the lake in every direction were crowded to the utmost, and thous- ands of people enjoyed their first Fourth of July at a resort which will be made popular and attractive if money and time can do it. In the evening the crowd was the greatest since the park has been

opened, the band concerts, vandeville performance, fireworks, torch swinging and other attractions drew the people there and a good night'e entertainment was provided. The fireworke were set off by experienced meu and were the finest seen in this vicinity In many years. The day was an ideal oue, aud only disagreeable feature was the inability of the trolley companies to transfer the vast crowds that presented themselves for conveyance, the unusual dezoand fairly overwhelming them. At such a time many are sure to be disappointed: this year's experience proved no exception to the rule. But every car was sent out that could be secured, and the compan- ies exerted every effort, consistent with safety to handle the crowds. That there

would be delays and possibly many not

scenre transportation was to have been expected, however disappointing it might prove. But that we were able to get transportation of any kind is at least a source of congratulation, and later the

service is sure to be improved, both by the Woonsocket line and the Medway line.

Learning the Lesson.

It seemed as if everyone was on the trolley cars on Wednesday, and some of the delays, owing to the crowds, were very exasperating, though there is no question hnt that the companies handled the large numbers as well as could be ex. pected. That no one was injured here is a source of congratulation, as many neighboring towns had serious accidents. Webster especially, There seems to be but one solution, and that is to have a telephone upon every car, which will ad

A Test Case.

The case against Willie R. Cook. charged with not having sent his chil- dren to school according to the demands of the school law, was concluded in the district court yesterday forenoon, Judge Doe finding him guilty and fining him $5, which he paid. A number of inter- esting facts were brought ont at the trial. A witness had testified that Mr. Cook had asserted that he should not send his children to the Franklin school, as the Bellingham school was nearer. This he denied, but set up the claim that he was not obliged to comply with the law, because the child which had been arrested for truancy had weak eyes, was not in good health, and the school was not within a reasonable distance. All these Judge Rugglee, counsel for the Board, denied, insisting that the Board was possessed of plenary powere, in the matter of assigning studies, and dist : lla11- tion of children, etc. He cited cases in the superior and supreme courts in proof of the rigate of the Board In this utat- ter. The fact that the father claimed that the children were receiving instruc. tions from the mother at home did not affect the case. Had the case been do- cided otherwise It would have opened the door for mach ahuse, as parentx would have refused to send their chil- dren to town schools hut to nearer schools in neighboring towns, and this town would have been called upon to pay their tuitions. If the parent wishes to pay the tuition the Board will not object to their attending nearby schools, except in nousnal cases. Mr. Cook had three children technically truants, but the case was brought against but oue, proving that there was nothing personal in the matter, but just that of principle, which the Board has always consistently ad- bered to
