The School Committee Met—Valley Falls Committee Organize—Newsy Local Items In the band room of Lonsdale Hall, last night, the Lonsdale Fire District, Prospect Hill, Lincoln, held its annual meeting. The taxpayers were out in force and the meeting was interesting. Reports of the district officials were read, new officers were elected, a tax of 10 cents on the $100 was voted, and a committee was chosen to bring the matter of street lighting to the attention of the annual financial town meeting. It was a few minutes after 8 o’clock when Moderator John Powers rapped for order. Clerk Samuel D. Learned was absent and Mr. Charles H. Learned was chosen clerk pro tem. The call for the meeting was read, and the reading of the records Of the last annual meeting and of the special meeting held three months later to consider the lighting question was deferred until the permanent clerk’s arrival. Later, the records of the annual meeting were read by Clerk Samuel D. Learned, but he had no evidence on his books of the special meeting, although he attended it and made notes of the proceedings. The election of officers resulted as follows: Moderator, John Powers; Clerk, Samuel D. Learned; Treasurer, Charles H. Learned; Collector of Taxes, Daniel Wood; Assessors, Charles McKenna, James Moss, John Beckett; Firewardens, George Thorpe, Samuel D. Learned, John Powers, Alfred Hough, John E. McDevitt; Auditors, J. William Quinham, Thomas B. Maymon, Robert T. Collinge. It was voted to continue the hose company and the personnel of it will be the same as at present, with Thomas B. Maymon as Captain and Robert T. Collinge as Foreman. Treasurer James Moss reported the districts finances in creditable condition, with a cash balance on hand of $240.99. Tax Collector Ward’s report showed that he had collected the total assessment of 1896, less $45.10. The Firewardens reported the property of the district in excellent condition and the Auditors certified to the corrections of the Treasurer’s account. All of the reports were received, approved, and ordered filed. At this point there was a little by-play touching the duties of the Board of Fire Wardens, and a running of pleasantries was kept up for several minutes between the taxpayers who pretended to think the fire wardens had done their full duty and the taxpayers who were quite sure (for the sake of argument) that they had not. The following named gentlemen were appointed to bring the question of lighting the town’s villages before the taxpayers in June: Frank E. Fitzsimmons, John E. McDevitt, George Thorpe. Adjourned. SAYLESVILLE. The fancy department of the old bleaching shop shut down yesterday for the balance of the week, in order to make some necessary repairs.

Thomas F. Huﬁu was elected chairman, and P. J. Caskins acted as clerk of the meeting. An informal discussion was held about the different methods used in the neighboring cities and towns.

Will Continue Almost Daily For Two Full Weeks. Persons Desiring to Send Written Statements May Forward Same to the Clerk. Washington, Dec. 15.—The action of the Republican members of the ways and means committee on Saturday last in deciding to give hearings on the new tariff bill which it is proposed to prepare at this session, was formally ratified at the full committee meeting yesterday. In the debate in the committee, Representative Turner declared that the committee did not have the power to formulate a bill for the next congress. He remarked that if rumor was true, the bill credited to Mr. Dingley might wait until the next administration, when, as secretary of the treasury, he might give advice and instruction to the next congress, which would be called upon to legislate upon it. Mr. McMillin (Tenn.) argued that there was no present need of increase in the tariff taxes, that the treasury now held about $130,000,900 in addition to the gold reserve. He said that even if the present rate of deficiencies continued, it would take more than two years to absorb and force into circulation this idle money. In response to the suggestion that it would be well to increase the gold reserve from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000, and thereby absorb or utilize $50,000,000 of the gold reserve, he said no good could come from keeping more money out of circulation, and said no one hoped or believed that it was possible any tariff bill would be passed this session. A resolution to adjourn from Dec., 22 to Jan. 5 was agreed to, as was also a resolution offered by Mr. Payne of New York to commence hearings on the bill on Dec. 28. This resolution is as follows: Resolved, That the committee on ways and means give public hearings to such persons as desire to be heard on the several schedules of the tariff at the ways and means committee room at 10 o'clock, a.m., as follows: On Monday, Dec. 28, schedule A, chemicals, oils and paints, and schedule H, spirits, wines and other beverages.

McKinley Will Visit Chicago, Chicago, Dec. 15.—Major William McKinley is coming to Chicago the latter part of this week for a brief visit at the home of Lafayette McWilliams, where Mrs. McKinley has been for several days.

FIRST FLIRTATION. “Mamma, have you any objection to my receiving the attention of that young gentleman who danced with me at last evening’s hop?” inquired Edith Gray as she looked out of the window at the Ocean House, whither for the first time in her life she had arrived. “‘Objection, my dear! I know nothing about the person you speak of.’” “Why, ma, don't you remember Mr. Rodolphus McGilvery, the gentleman with long, flowing, black hair and a bronze face? The very first day I came here, just before pa went away, he asked to be introduced to me. He is of Scottish descent, and is making the tour of the United States. Well, in a very familiar manner, he said to me: “Miss Edith—for he heard pa call me so—” “I shall wish to monopolize your society while I am here. I am fond of young ladies. I had a sister once who strongly resembled you. That weed on my hat he tokens her decease.” And he wiped his eyes and looked so affectionately toward me, ma, I began to love him at once.” “Why, Edith, you should not indulge in such strong expressions! Remember you are a young lady and know but little of the world. You must be cautious, dear, about accepting attentions from strangers. Many a young girl has been duped by their falseness.” “Ma, I never saw such a doubting person as you are! What earthly motive could have induced him to have asserted such a thing unless it were true? There he is rising from his seat. I will run and ask him to come to our room." “No, Edith. You must not be too familiar, I tell you.” But Edith waved her little hand for his approach, and he came into the hall, and there stood, awaiting her to join him. Artless and thoughtless, she ran to him and began narrating all her late conversation, and after pressing Mr. Rodolphus McGill to go and see her mother, he reluctantly consented to do so. Upon entering the room he was the picture of smiles and the graces personified, so bland in conversation. So delicate in remarks, so apparently diffident, yet resolute, that Mrs. Blithe did not wonder her daughter was fascinated. The interview was a long one and ended in a full disclosure of the object for which he came to this country, indirectly keeping in view all the while that money was no consideration with him, his father having just died and left him sole heir to a princely fortune; that he only pined for sympathy and companionship, and, as Edith so strongly reminded him of his deceased sister, he perhaps had ventured too far in endeavoring to gain the friendly regard of one young and innocent heart in a strange land. These thoughts being uttered in a most winning accent, all counted with Mrs. Blithe, and she ventured so far as to add that “if during their sojourn they could do anything to minister to his comfort they would most cheerfully perform it." And Edith was in ecstasy that she had thus won over her mother to become interested in Mr. Rodolphus MoGilvery. They rode and they walked with the Scotch gentleman and even talked, as their intimacy increased, of taking a trip with him to his native country. To say that he essentially contributed to their enjoyment while at this watering place was not enough. He made Edith feel a kind of happiness she had never experienced before. What did she care for that staid young man, Mr. Lester, from New York, or Mr. Fry, the rich bachelor who had promised Mr. Blithe to attend his wife and daughter in his absence? It was certainly very ill timed and impertinent in the latter to inquire what they knew of the character of the gentleman with whom they were so intimately connected after he had told them so minutely his personal history. Truly, Mrs. Blithe, you are as easily satisfied and as oredulous as your daughter. Mr. Fry, however, took it upon himself to ascertain authentically whether the statements made by Mr. Rodolphus were strictly true. He addressed a letter to a mercantile house in New York upon whom he professed to draw for money, and found they were ignorant of the existence of such a man. He addressed another to Count Zolvani, whom he said he knew intimately, and was answered that he “never heard of the gentleman in question”. So that when convinced of the falsity of so aspersions, he began to distrust all others, which sorely puzzled and vexed Mrs. Blithe and her daughter. When in the heyday of apparent triumph, having secured the affections of an artless girl, having flirted and danced in the sunbeams of fashionable life, suddenly Mr. Rodolphus MoGilvery disappeared, leaving the landlord with his unpaid bill, and at the livery he had a large undischarged account “for sundry drives about the suburbs,” in which Mrs. Blithe and Edith had participated, and, worse than all, Leaving a young and guileless heart to feel the can which always attends an unsucculent dirtation. Mrs. Blithe and her daughter now willingly accepted the protection of that estimable gentleman, Mr. Fry, whose inquiries undoubtedly gave the walking ticket to the Scottish gentleman, and feeling as they did that his professions of regard were sincere, Edith was never questioned by her mother how far or how fast Mr. Fry had proceeded. "Who's the reigning married belle of the season at the Ocean House?" I inquired upon my arrival the next season. "A Mrs. Fry from New York," was the reply. "She is truly lovely, and her countenance and manners are faultless. Besides, she has a most fascinating man for a husband." I gazed at the belle as she entered the dining hall. It was she who one year ago hung upon the arm of that disgraced Mr. Gilvery, and I thanked heaven that so bright and beautiful a being had escaped the snares which attended her first and last flirtation. —New York News. A Negrito Marriage. When two Negritos, a people of the Philippine islands, are united, the whole tribe assembled, and the affianced marcling two trees growing near each other.

A hint to be careful about the use of the opera glasses which are supplied in most of our leading theaters on a payment of a small fee is worthy of attention. It has been proved beyond doubt by oculists that these opera glasses frequently become the medium for spreading ocontagious diseases of the eye, and it's well therefore to be careful how we use them.
