especially To young men. AT IL o'clock,

fer, all singing the joyous and
beautiful hymn written for the occasion
by the organist, Master Ralph Kinder,
After the choir came the acolytes in albs
and red cassocks. Then followed the rec
tor, the Rev. William X. Trotter, and the
Rt. Rev. Thomas Clark. When the choir
had taken a position near the bell, which
was suspended few feet above the floor
of the tower, the bishop said the prayers
of the benediction and blessing, which
was followed by the hymn of benediction,
and the bell was then struck three times
by the senior warden, j. Il. Reynolds, and
was pleasure and surprise To every one.
The bell weighs 3,06s pounds and IL seemed
"a IL the vibrations would never cease. and

ing instead of diminishing. After the SER
vices the choir marched around the bell

recessional hymn in the style in which
the Trinity boys and men have no equal.

ments Accomplished With Economy.
The cries OF the hungry politicians, the
misleading charges Of extravagance and
the frantic call for economy, are usuMllyto
be set down as in the same class. The
citizens of Providence have by long ex-
perience learned that efficient public work
can not be accomplished without money,
and they have also learned that as COM
pared with other cities Providence is very
economically managed.
All reports to the contrary notwith-
standing, the administration has been
very conservative in its expenditures, and
when the facts given below are studied
out and compared carefully, according TO
the tables, il will be found that the work
accomplished has exceeded that OF any
previous year. Still further, the amount
of work done has been more than double
the amount of work done last year, and
last wear the amount was in excess OF that
of any other previous year.
Add TO these facts the fact that the re-
port for this year covers only ten months,
while that for last years covers twelve
months and the extravaganza of the mayor
and city officials will be found not only
to exist solely in the minds Of the Demo
cratic wire pullers, but economy will be
found to be a marked feature or the years
work.

To Boom Mason valley.

Prof. c. S. Young went out to Ma
son Valley this week Wednesday
to gather few statistics for the
purpose of writing up description
of the place and setting its advan-
tages before the people Of other
places. Mr.. Mason accompanied
the Prof, and the proposition of the
gentlemen is evidently to COLOMBO
the Mason ranch in the Valley for
starter. A large number of good,
thrifty people can find fine places
to build homes in Mason Valley,
and it is to be hoped that the efforts
of the above named parties to bring
into the county a desirable class OF
people will be crowned with success.

The Carson Netos Of Tuesday says:
Yesterday Jerry Piper resigned his
position at the State Prison. From
what we are able to learn, Mr.. Piper
acted in the capacity Of what is
known as cage guard" and as the
duties required Of him were of a
most dangerous character, Jerry
concluded for the benefit and hap
piness of his future welfare, his
resignation would be the proper
thing. We are told that Mr.. Reed
will succeed him for the present,
but a party from Virginia will fill
the vacancy in the near future.
The facts about Mr.. Piper's resig-
nation as we understand it are that
the day before or the day of his
resignation he was attacked by two
of the four men sent from here for
robbing the depot some months ago
Piper had his coat and shirt torn
off from him by the prisoners but
would not use any force TO make
them desist from their assault un.
til assistance was given him.

DrY EinhiMg.

Yesterday morning Charlie Wat
son was out in front of his saloon
practicing throwing a line, MS he
thinks of going fishing in a few days.
He saw a chicken down the street
and he tried to land it on his porch,
but he threw the line much as n
cowboy would a rope and the con-
sequence was he snagged his line
around the flag pole on Kean's store
opposite his saloon. The next throw
he made he came near catching the
Union Hotel flag pole, and after
soaring the people off the street and
nearly causing two or three runa-
ways he decided that 40-acre field
would be a better place for him to
practice in. If Charlie will buy a
fish and send it to us when he goes
to the Lake we won't say q word
about il.

A Practical joke.

The other evening while on his
way home from town our County
Treasurer was induced to drop into
the Odeon to play lust one game"
of whist. If julie has a weakness
it is for whist, and the one game
lasted until it was about time to
close the saloon or have it closed by
the authorities. When julie went
into the resort he had with him a
small sack of table salt, which he
set behind the bar. During the
game some practical joker substi-
tuted sack of sand for the salt,
and julie took the sand home with
him. The next morning his better
half needed salt for the mush and
she opened the bag of sand. At a
glance she took in the situation
and made up her mind to pay J..
A. up for staying out go late the
night before. She used the sand in
the mush in liberal doses and dished
it up for breakfast. She did not care
for any herself, butsJule waded into
it ravenously He soon discovered
that it was gritty and asked what
caused it, when his wife produced
the sack of sand and explained that
she thought it was a new brand of
salt he had bought. julie saw that
he had been made the victim Of q
double-dosed joke and he tainted.
OF course the boys heard all about
it and now you can't get him to
touch anything that looks like a
sack of salt.

Visiting NavaiOs

Six Indians from near Fort Reno,
in the Oklahoma country, were pas
sengers on last Sundays train bound
for Mason Valley. Three of the In
dams were Cheyennes and three
Navajos, and they were going to the
Valley to see Dave Wilson, the Pi-
ute Prophet. Two of the Navajos
talk good English and write very
well. One of them was police
man and he wore his badge with
great dignity. In conversing with
the Piutes they talk English and
then have an Interpreter to explain
to them. They are a fine lot OF
looking Indians, far superior in in
telligence to the Piutes and Washes
and they carried grip sacks and
trunks with them the same as white
people.
