FVWW Wto ITVOtueNce UOUFNuE,
Late on Friday evening a man about 40
years of age s GOD upon the Globe bridge. at
Woonsocket, with his wife beside him threat
ening to commit suicide by jumping into the
Blackstone river if she did nor give him Is
cents. The wife pleaded and begged, saving
she needed the money to purchase food with,
and he would only spend it for drink should
she give it 10 him. He placed his hand on the
railing tothe bridge and ag in shouted to his
better half to give him the money or over he
would go. She implored the Gro wd of people
who had gathered near to save him, but no
one interfered. A voice from the crowd sang
out. Let him co. but she still chung to him.
Finally she released her hold, and, putting
her hand in her pocket. brought forth a silver
quarter and placed it in his hand. He seized
1t eagerly and started on a lively run for a sa-
loon near by, while the poor woman started
for her home to offer a prayer for him, whose
life she thought she had saved for Is cents.

It is stated in a New York paper that
"HenrY Clews, the banker, has addressed
a letter to Senator Eyarts, calling atten-
tion to the report that Congress intends
TO appropriate large sums Of money for
improvements In the South. He protests
against any appropriations being made
tor the benefit of any State that has re-
pudiated its bonds" This action OF
Clews reminds one Of the notorious con-
tractor OF the revolution. who, from some
reason did not get his claim. which was
probably unjust, promptly paid. While
the country was all rejoicing and giving
thanks to Jehova for the inestimable
blessings Of peace and independence, the
inimi'abls Patrick Henry described this
man as going about the land Yelling:
"Beet! beef!' Clews' cranky ways of
calling attention to his bogus bonds are
getting TO be ludicrous.

Memphis defeated Nashville yester-

appearance in the box since his return
from Memphis, and there was consid-

wet, in consequence OF short rain in
the early part Of the game, and the
ball was hard to handle. Neverthe.

seven hits and struck out nine men"
THE following clipping from that

umpiring the Memphis nine has been
contending against on it's travels;
"CAl Broughton did not give him the
support he is capable OF doing. His
throwing to second was very wild
Taylor, too, was hit hard, but was we'll

sions were questionable, to say the
least. One, especially, was very rank
when he called Broughton out at

ground saw that he made 1t easily.
