morose Englishman, the plodding Irish

must learn II "new lick"--a sort of double
quickstep. There is always something
for idle hands to do and they will have
therefore to wear their breechcs without
pockets TO avoid the slothful habit of
finding resting place for their lazy arms.
In short they must to great extent make
themselves over again, else they will be
elbowed off the land. and new pcopl,

Terminal facilities IN Providence are
again revived. The report of engineers
selected 10y the Mayor to furnish
plans for better railroad facilities was
made To the city council last week and is
now under the fire of public criticism.
The plans are exhaustive and seem on
the whole to be well received OF course
they are not enthusiastically" swallowed"
by everybody. Some men are bound to
be ohjectors and kickers; they are SO
constructed and can't help it. Others
think that their individual interests may
suffer, and consider them of more i'm
porlance than the welfare of the city
Lazy people object TO a longer walk to
the depot and some cling 10 the Cove as
an ancient relic of iucslimable worth.
But it is pleasing to note that the most
intelligent and progressive citizens o.
Providence favor the plan. because they
think il is the best that could be
devised; not but what there are some
objections, but these faults are not vital
ones and there is feeling that some
thing must be done now to settle this
vexed question of fifteen years standing
and take Providence out of the slough
of business dependency and place her in
enterprise as she is in population as the
second city in New England.

The newspapers that are now criti-
cising the Tennessee prisons are well
come to all they can make out of it.
An investigation will show that the
present Superintendent visits the
prisons twice as often as any OF his
predecessors have ever done. That
more buildings have been erected Tor
the comfort OF the convicts in the
the past year than in any other year
in the history OF the prison. That the
prisinors are now better fed, better
clothed and are better satisfied thar
ever before. That there has been few
er deaths during the past year among
the convicts than in any other yea
in the history of the prisons. An in
vestigatlon will show these facts, anC

ter ? a. m. and announcnd the
death of Conking at 1850 a. m. In
the room at the time of his death
were Mrs. Conklig, Mrs. Oakman,
her daughter, Judge Coke, Dr. An
derson and the nurse Chonax,
Conkling died in a rear chamber on
the second floor Of his residence.
His bed faced the west. 1t was a
noble struggle that Roscoe Conk-

death, but at last his end was
peaceful and pnaccompanied by
pain. The interment will be in Ut
lea.
Later it was decided that the fun
eral services in Utica be held in
Calvary Chapel on Saturday after
noon instead of in Mr.. Conkling's
late residence in that city. The
all-bearers selected are Judge
Shipman, Abram S. Hewitt, S. l.
