Address Before Centre No. Of the Rhode
Island University Education.


Island University Education.
President Andrews of Brown Universi-
" gave the first lecture of the American
history. course last night at odd Fellows
Hall, Mount Pleasant. by way of preface
to his remarks, President Andrews said
that although the course Of lectures was
upon American history il was neces-
sary that the growth and develop
ment Of the English constitution should be
understood In order to trace the constitu,
tional history of our own country and so
for his first lecture he would endeavor TO
relate briefly the important events in Eng
lish history from the settlement Of Eng
land by the Saxons to the formation of
parliament in the reign Of Edward !. He
then spoke OF the crossing of the Saxons
and In proceeding. said;
" In the course of time the Saxons came
TO inhabit the South and East of England
and up to the low lands of Scotland, but
they were divided into petty kingdoms.
BY the unity Of belief among the Saxons
in the Roman Catholic Church came about
consolidation and unity in State
affairs.
The next epoch brings us to the Nor
governmental affairs. William the Con-
queror took the throne and during his
reign and that of his successors the COM
mon people acquired more rights and many
cities gained their liberties. Progress con-
tinued in the direction Of greater freedom
until the signing of the magma charter by
King John established the great principles
of English liberty" DIR. Andrews then
closed his lecture by explaining the rise of
representative government in England and
the formation Of Parliament In 1895.

some of their choicest treasures for the
fine display Of autumn and early winter
wraps, coats and cloaks begun by the III.

beautiful fabrics and such graceful shapes

early yesterday morning. Interested
groups gather about each pretty novelty
brought across seas, and smile and nod
approvmgly at one another and discuss it's
various features with low and busy hum
like the sound Of many bees.
Every whim:of fashion and every de
mand of feminine taste has been taken
into consideration. There are capes that
just cover the elbows and capes that have
become long wraps and almost reach the
ground. There are long coats aud coats
OF medium length and short coats. There
are natty little jackets. There are smart
mackintoshs aud English waterproois
There are evening wraps that would grace
the wardrobe OF a duchess.
One in old rose with n little leaning
towards heliotrope Is especially beautiful
with its embroidery in gold and silver and
its soft grayish white fur trimmings
Another In red with black embroidery and
Jet adornments is piquant enough in It's
beauty for the most vivaciouS brunette In
Providence. Golden tan with Jet trim

Death by Fire.

An inspection yesterday afternoon of
closed the fact that the damage was not
as great as at first stated. The upper
part of the stage and the roof of the
building, together with the upper gal
lery, have been totally destroyed; but
the balcony and lower floor of the
theater are not at all injured. Mr..
Taylor, of the Taylor Craig COM
pany, Inspected the building, and
said that it could be repaired within
twenty days at a cost not exceed
ing $4,000. Manager Wells figures his
loss on scenery and costumes at 1000,
and the loss to the 'Zapha" company,
which was playing this week at the. the
alter, will not amount to over 81, 900. 1t
was at first stated that all the trunks of
the company, containing stage costumes
aud personal effects, had been de-
StrOved, but such is not the case, for the
dressing rooms under the stage, where
the trunks were. have not been touched
by fire, only being damaged by the CO.
piOuS streams of water.
The greatest credit is due to Chief
jackson and the men of the fire depart
ment for the manner in which the fierce
flames were prevented from spreading.
Some comment was expressed at the
Slight delay in getting the water tower
to work, but it was due to the mass of
electric light and telephone wires OH
the streets. When the tower was start
ed to work, the telescope pipes shot up
but were caught i'll the tangle of, wires,
and 1T was necessary TO lower the
sections and move the apparatus before
1t was possible to raise the tower to
proper height. The men were ALSO
hampered in raising their ladders in
front of the theater on Seventh street,
and Assistant Chief Martin, Capt
Leahy, of Engine Company No. 2, and
several men were severely burned on
the hands and face owing to coming i'll
contact with electric light and other
wires. The council should not delay in
ordering all wires to be taken down in
the business district, for they are a
menace to life and property in case of a
fire.
Aid. Conley, who left for Chicago
Thursday evening, was telegraphed to,
and will arrive in ST. Paul this morn

any information as to the insurance
carried on the building.
Manager Wells was busy yesterday
trying to secure the Market house for a

so, the hall having been rented for the
