' silk .scarf which Joel had admired.
[ He thought, it is too late now for
; her to do anything. No wire to Mex

be relayed from Berlin. It is past
12 o’clock in the Atlantic off- the
coast of France, and what has been
decided is already done.

"1 noticed one, exceedingly becom

"How observant you are,” she said.
“I’ll be honest. Miss Carter called

| "1 fear Miss Carter is too oto

. The Metropolitan Opera tenor
burst into the aria “Celeste Aida”
and Greenleaf decorously kept silent
though he found the Aletropolitan
ter.or much of a bore. He surveyed
the Countess out of the corner of
his eye. She sat seemingly com
posed, but her breast rose and fell
more rapidly than was her wont.
The tenor finished on a high note of
agony. Amid the applause the
Countess said, “So you have beard
from Miss Carter?" Her ton* was
controlled, casual even.
"Yes. Sire hadn’t got married
after ail. nor gone home. Rather a
curious experience, not wholly clear.”

torv and Mr. O’Neil was a wheel

ers in this section for hardware sup- :
plies and quickly furnished them by
stocking hardware in connection with
his other business. In 1885 it was
necessary to expand the business until
it occupied the three story building
that was burned last March. Here
M. J. O’Neil took his first job at the
age of six.
The speaker told how he took over i
the business when J. A. O’Neil be- I
came ill with his sister, Gertrude, and J
of the marriage of his sister, and the j
taking into the business of another i
sister. Miss Edna O’Neil. Gilbert. ;
his oldest son, was given a job in the !
store at six and so were the other
sons. They, today, run the store.
From so many yearsof experince, |
there was developed a knowledge of ;
requirements, coupled with a desire j
for beauty, and when the disastrous J
fire of last March laid them flat, they
were undaunted, the speaker said, and I
within two days had a fairly com- j
plete stock of new .hardware and be- !
gan at once to lay plans for the most ■
complete stock of hardware in this '
section, > MV. .Oi’Njeil \ placed i

and this, they feel, has been realized !
and the third generation hopes that J
the public will ali take pride in their j
achievement.
The speaker pointed out that the !
O’Neil Building was the only building 1
in the United States xvith its front :
completely covered with vitrpljte.
Mr. O’Neil’s talk was most interest- |
ing to the members of the club, and !
the entire program time was given to ,
the speaker.

New Set-Up Here Is Func

Three Days
t The new district relief office for
the four counties of Vance, Warren,
' Granville and Franklin, w'hich began
operating here last Monday, is func
tioning smoothly an?! without a hitch,
according to E. G. Dorsey, district ad
i ministrator, who said today an ade
quate force- had been taken on to
handle the large volume of business
j necessary in caring for the demands
i in the area.
i The office was established by the
merger of th independent relief of
fices in the four counties. Quarters
are in the Peace building on South
i William street.
■ Mr. Dorsey said money for distri
| bution among the needy in the four
: counties had already been received
| here. He could not say precisely the
I amount of money that had .been al
j lotted for the four counties this
j month, but all of it will be handled
: through this office and distributed
; from here.

has been operating in carrying on

departments into action.
The theatres, which police believe
were wrecked by planted bombs,
were: the Majestic and Tremont, in
downtown Boston; the Capital in
Pawtucket, R. 1., and the Capital in
Lynn. Mass.
Shortly after 4 o’clock this morn
ing- an explosion at the Capital theatre
in Pawtucket, wrecked the concrete
projection booth and tore great
chunks from the wall and ceilings of
the auditorium.
A half hour later the front of the
Tremont theatre, in the center of
Boston's downtown shopping area,
was blown out. Then, the lounge of
the Majestic theatre, almost diagon
ally across Tremont street, was
wrecked.
Just before 5 a. m., a dull roar
came from the interior of the Capi
tal theatre in Lynn, Mass., and in
vestigating officers found the base.-
ment rest room torn apart.
Deputy Fire Chief William T. Con
nelly, of Pawtucket, said there was no
doubt but what a boipb had caused
the blast, there. He found fragments
of the missile, he said, and there was
a strong odor of explosives in the
theatre.
Fire Chief Dennis Coughlin, who
responded with fire apparatus to the
Boston explosion, said those two were
ihe result of carefully planted bombs.
Lynn police were just as certain
the explosion there resulted from a
time bomb.
Samuel Rickman, of Boston, only
executive of any of the Boston theat
res available, refused to djscuss any
aspects of the bombing.
Asked if there had been labor trou
ble at the Trenlont, he said:
“I have nothing to say until I find
out more about this myself.”
