pots in summer in the line of flower
ing plants, strawberry runners, etc.
Its chief value Is the remedy 1t pro-
vides against angle worms entering
the pots from the drainage hole below,
a point that will be highly appreciated
by all who know how troublesome
these worms usually are in plunged
pots.
In my drawings a shows the tool as
made from block of maple wood six
inches square and twenty-five inches
long. / had mine turned by a cabinet
maker although with considerable
care, one could be shaved down with a
draw knife. The nearer perfectly
round it is the better it will be suited
to it's purpose. The tool is completed
by the addition of handle as shown
and this might be from an old spade.
Figure shows the use of the tool in
the case of a geranium pot plunged in
soil. The pot in this instance was of
size that required the dibble to be
thrust into the plunging soil to it's en-
tire length. In putting the pot down
it should be pressed in rather firmly.

two other important gains are secured,
namely: the pot is afforded perfect
drainage, and the trouble of roofing
through" the drain hole of the pot is
overcome.
Figure represents the use of the
dibble for smaller-sized pot. Coming
to point as it does, the tool can be
used for pots of the smallest size quite
as readily as for larger ones.
In getting ready for plunging pots by
this means, the soil should first be
worked over to a depth equal to the
length of the dibble, otherwise it will be
difficult to thrust it into the earth. In
pressing it down the weight of the
body may be applied through the foot
placed on top of the dibble. This tool
also comes into play at times in trans
planting small shrubs, vines, etc.-C.

HERE is GOOD NEWS.
A Very Central Location for Popu-
lar Club House.
THE PROVIDENCE ATHLETICS,
A Proposition to be Made tn n Corpora
tion To-Morrow to Erect a Large and
ElegantIy-Equipped Building.

The NEWS gives some good news to-
night and a pointer for its sleepy neigh
bors.
Everybody has been asking what the
Providence Athletic club was doing, and
where 1t would erect it's club house.
Thousands of citizens are interested in
this affair Much money has been pledged
for the erection Of a clubhouse, but there
has been an exasperating delay in getting
to work because of the inability of the
managers 10 obtain satisfactory informa-
tion.
Now there is going TO be something
done of a tangible nature. The directors
of a prominent trust company will meet
tomorrow and there will be placed before
them for their consideration plan Tor
erecting club house in the very heart OF
the city. IL will face on two streets and
be within stones throw of the general
passenger depot.
The plan involves the demolition OF
large directory brick block now devoted to
a long established business, and the cree
ton of building which shall tower above
the adjoining block so that the upper
floors of the proposed club house shall eX-
tend over 1t to Westminster street.
The money for the work has all been
pledged, and if the trust company will act
favorably as IL is thought il will, the
Providence Athletic Clubs house will be
ready for occupancy next fall.
The other local newspapers will have
this information tomorrow.

CAMPBELL'S BILLINGSGATE.
He Raves Like a Madman Because
His Audience Cheered Mckinley.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct 26-When Gov.
Campbell spoke at East Liverpool,
Columbia County, last Thursday
evening, the applause which greeted
his incidental mention of Mckinley's
name so enraged him that he burst the
bounds of decency and abused his audience
in billingsgate such as seldom has been
heard upon a public platform, repeating
his vilitication of the pottery manutac-
turers and their workmen, whom he had
previously characterized at Toledo as the
"most debased and degraded in all the
State, treated like swine by their employ
ers," and "herded like cattle and driven
to the polls to vote"
There Ia not In the wild West" said
Campbell, "where society is unorganized,
as impudent, incompetent and digraceful
a government as in this city of East Liv
erpool. "a voice in the audience, the
city government is Democratic don't
care whether it is Democratic or Republi
can, or what it is, If you do not turn il
out ON the first Monday of April next,
your city ought 10 be destroyed by visi-
tation of God"
The Democratic mayor who was chair
man OF the meeting, naturally relished
this pleasant opinion. which will cost
Campbell half the Democratic vote of
East Liverpool. The potters of East
Liverpool have drawn up an open letter,
which answers conclusively all the gov
ernor's reckless and extravagant charges,
which, they say, 'are so unrighteous as TO
carry ther own condemnation with all
fairmind9d citizens

tends that the Senate has no ctnctitutional

not vote TO increase them, although il
may reduce duties. II the question of the
