The Alleu club held another open meeting on Monday evening last. A large eudlence was present to hear the lecture on "The Marble Faun" by the Rev H. G. Spaulding of Boston.

Gone Home.

The old-time residents of Franklin will be sorry to hear of the death at East Walpole of Mrs. Amelia Newell Boyden, whose home for many years was in this town, she being a teacher in the South Franklin district at one time.

Her friends will remember her es a women of exceedingly gentle and loving disposition, ever ready with words of kindness and sympathy. Through a long and trying illness, ber sunny uature and brave struggle for the life she so loved gained her many new friends and drew the older more closely. She never lost interest in the books, pictures or the beautiful in nature that had filled her life wlisu well. Such a life so full of happiness and suusbine, surmounting physical suffering serves as a beautifully tender lessou, and the husband and son, binthiers and sisters must ever look back upon it with reverence, and be grateful that the years of pain are ended.

"Nol into these, bright spirit, do we yearn To bring thee back, but oh! to be, lo he Unbound of all these gyves, to stretch, to spurn The dark from off our dolorous lids, to see Our spark, conjeclure, blaze and sunrise burn, And suddenly to stand again by thee !** L. M. P.

"Remember the Maine."

This wonderful play will be given at the Opera House Saturday evening. The perts are well teken by a capable company, who deliver their lines with stirring effect.

The story of the play is au interesting one, being of the military sort, and can- not help but arouse the patriotisin of an audience. It tells the story of the blow- ing up of the Maine, giving a realistic reproduction of tliat incident, showing the arrival of the ill fated battleship in Havana and her destruction and as the play ruus on, sbowing the cowardice of the Spaniards and the courage of the Americans. The scenery used is of a very attractive nature, being new and bright.

Thoas who remember the unique characters of " Blue Jeans" and other Indian plays from the Arthur pen can anticipate with reason a treat in the personages of "Lost River," which manager Ogden has me- cured for the evening of Thursday, Dec- 6, at the Woonsocket Opera house.

It is probable that the petitiou of tbe New England Telephone company for an extension of poles and wires on certain streets, as stated in the SENTINEL recent- ly, will come up for consideration at the meeting of the selectmen this evening, and any citizen who has any objection to urge or inquiry to make in regard to the matter should appear at that time and make it known.

Summoned to Answer.

Deputy Sheriff Fitzpatrick served the uotice upon the M. A. & W. street rail- way company Tuesday at Franklin charging that the company has declined to grant the request or heed the protests

of the citizens of Bellingham. The se- lectmen have filed in the superior court et Dedham a bill in equity, and Judge Sherman has ordered the street railway company to appear next Monday and show cause why It should not comply with the terms of its franchise. The bill, which is very leugthy, sets forthe as grievances a great number of things, among them the following: Failure to use the rails required: neglect to obtain consent of selectmen as to ties ueed ; fail ure to grade streets as required; failure to widen bridges, neglect to put up rail- ings on embankments; failure to run cars according to alleged agreement; failure to widen streets; failure to fill up between tracks at crossings and walks. It is alleged that the company has per- sisted in putting in grade crossings without authority, constructing switches without permission, laying rails on dif- ferent part of the street from ,that or- dered, and refusing to answer o?' obey written orders of the selectmen.

The alleged violation of its franchise is the refusal of the company to run hourly trips between Caryville aud Bel- lingham Four Corners. A further cause of complaint is the runuing of open cars on this part of the line at thie time of the year.

There were 24 numbere on the programme and 1001 couples participated, an intermission be- ing taken at midnight for refreshments, which were served in the hall.

hava devoted to sightseeing, and have been able to accomplish quite an amount In that lins. The National Art gallery is situated at the north-eastsrly side of Trafalgar square, overlooking the great Nelson monument, and the present building was opened to the public in 1838; however, the gallery was founded In 1824 Tusrs are 1,370 pictures, some dating as far hack as the second or third century, and none more recent than 1700. Here one is lost lu admiretion and at once becomes oblivious of time. It seems almust beyond belief that the masters of those old days were so skillsd In their profession. I do not profess to be at all schoolsd In art, but the pictures which impressed ms most wers two por- traits by Rembrandt and several paint- ings by Peter Paul Rubens, most notalily "Peace and War" and "The Crucifixion;" the former Is 6 feet, 6 inches high, by @ feet, 9 inches wide and is allegorical In character. In one wing of the gallery are more than one hundred pictures by J. M. W. Turner, but I will mention only two, "Death of Nelson," and "Rain, Steam and Speed;" the latter represents an express train rushing through raiu and fog, and is vary finely executed. In

the Spanish school the most notable were "Dead Warrior by Velazquez, and "The Dead Cbrist" by Josef Ribera; the former is especially beautiful. In the Dutch and Flemish school is an eques trian portrait of Charles I, King of En gland, by Sir Ant. Van Dyck; this ia one of the largest pictures in the gallery. In one hall are several fine portraits by Gainsborough, as well as an excellent portrait of Gladstone by Sir John E. Millals. I spent several hours in the bulldiug, but one can only glance hur- riedly over the pictures in that time, and I shall go again es soon as the oppo-tu nity offers.

I have speut three Sunday afteruoons at the British Museum, but the material here ie so vast and varied that it Is ut- terly Impossible for me to give you any idea of It, as a whole. What interested me was the statuary depertment, and here, as at the National Gallery, one is simply amazed at the skill shown by these artists and sculptors of the Middle Ages. Here are the remains of the Temple of Diana at Ephesus, and other pieces of statuary; all iu a remarkable state of preservation. One large hall le filled with relics of the Mausoleum.

In the Mausoleum room are two statues representing Artequesia, the wife of, and Mausolos, Prince of Carla, B. C. 377-353, which are believed to have stood in the chariot which aurmounted the Mauso- leum at Halicarvassos. They were found by Sir Charlee Newton in 1857 out- side the northern wall of the Mausoleum, together with large fragments of the borses. The statue of Mausolos is about IO feet In height, that of Artemesia about 9 feet, and the horees are simply
