NEwPORr's PROSPERITY.

Mayor Honey's recommendation in his
inaugural of the strict observance of
civil service reform in all appointments
under the city government, is hardly in
accord with the clean sweep effected of
Republican Office holders, but there are
nevertheless some sensible points in the
message, notably as regards the course
to be pursued in the development of the
city's business interests.
Newport" says Mayor Honey, 'can-
not be made manufacturing place, but
must continue to owe its prosperity to
the summer cottagers and visitors" 1t
is easily possible to carry this doctrine
to an extreme, but it is undoubtedly
true that manufacturing industries
would need TO be introduced very eau.
tiously in order not to drive away the
summer people, who are now assessed
for $17,513, 100 worth of property, as
against $l5,513,500 worth of resident
taxation"
Good roads. clean, well watered and
lighted I; good system of collection and
disposal of house offal and garbage, and
sedulous attention to the things that go
to make n city beautiful to the eye and
attractive must count almost more
strongly, when joined with moderate
rate of taxation, in Newports favor than
in that of any city in the country. For
Newport has held its own as Americas
summer capital when other resorts have
had their days of prosperity and declined.

MAYOR POND Of Woonsocket suggests
that the city's taxes might be collected

considerably increase the cost of collec-

increase the danger of mistake. The in

DANsER THE SAVIOUR OF THE
WEBSTER CREW.

We have received the following in.
teresting news through our friend
Alfred Wainwright, of Philadelphia,
which accounts for his brother Harry
not being on the tug Webster which
was lost at sea two weeks ago.
Harry Wainwright shipped on the
tug Webster and left his clothing
aboard her, but leaving the boat for a
short time the engineer was afraid lie
would not be back in time and shipped
another man. Harry saw Hosea Dem
ny, after leaving the tug and told him
he was going out on her, hence the re-
port that lie was on her.
Harry says it was more through
Furman Danser's pluck than anything
else that none were lost. One fireman
was strapped down raving crazy. The
Captain lay on the pilot house floor,
another man was injured and the rest
partially unbalanced, mentally. Dam
ser stuck his head and body partly I'M.
der water and started the donkey"
engine which ran the pump and kept it
going and that kept the tug from sink
ing before help arrived. To his endur.
ance the rest of the crew are greatly
indebted.

A SANITY WOMAN o N

As time flies swiftly onward one by
one are the survivors of two gonara'
tons 9 being called away to theii
eternal home and the number of those
remaining are now very few. As you
look over the number it will be noticed
that those who had thrift and industry
savored with saving grace are the most
influential and highly esteemed. No
woman in this township, aud probably
in the county, was more INDUSTRIOUS
and more enthusiastic in laboringT for
others and for Gods kingdom than Sa-
rah Dolbow whose death last Saturday
morning, while expected for days, was
a great loss to the Church, to her family
aud to the community, for her sanity
life and untiriug industry is not only
worthy of emulation but of the high
est praise. Having had the grippe a
fresh cold caused pneumonia which
ended her earthly career. Her maiden
name was Cook and when a girl she had
such a thirst after God and a desire to
learn more of him that she would slip
away unbeknown to attend a meeting.
Notwithstanding she raised q large
family and did much hard work, yet
her Bible and her God were never for
gotten, and rarely did anything but
sickness stop her from attending u
means of grace. Truly she was gifted
with the holy ghost for, notwithstand-
ing she was hard of hearing, she drank
in the spirit of a religious service by
being present and often she inspired a
meeting by relating her experience and
shout praises to God. Deep and earnest
were ller pleas for her friends to follow
Christ, She was an old fashioned
shouting Methodist who never tired in
working for her Master or for her
friends. She was faithful and deserves
the richest reward.
Not only was her religious life wor-
thy of example, but her habits of in
dustry and economy also worthy to fol-
low. Soon after reaching mar and
wOmanhood she and Michael X. Dol
bow with true and loving hearts and
sound bodies joined their life's ! abors
together. They both worked hard
and saved so that when they got old
they had u competency to live on. Mr..
Dolbow told lis afew years before he di-
ed that they had raised q family of nine
children ard saved 500 eyeryiyear for
over forty years. Wages were not then
what they are now. When they began
life he worked for SOC. a day, moved
for 75c, and reaped grain for 81 a day.
Thus they showed that sObriety, indus
try and economy and Goodness profited
them in this life by giving them u COM
potency in old age, insured them happi
Hess, and gave them an lleirship to an
eternal home
Mrs. Dulbuw's funeral services weie
held in Emmanuel Church OIL Tuesday
and it was so large that extra seats
were needed. Rev. d. W. Z. McIntire
preached an able sermon from Isaiah
1910, which passage she had selected
for the occasion. He epitomized the
virtues of her life as n model mother
and Christian in the word fidelity.
Truly, she was faithful for her last
words we're praises to God. Truly, tie
world is much better by her having liv-
ed and her faithful example will long
live after her, her for we doubt if the
most skeptical person in the communi.
ty failed to see the divine reality of re.
ligion in her life.

The New York Tribune says:
1t deals not only with those religious
problems which are being discussed
with increasing zest throughout the civil

those essentially modern views of the
influence of heredity and temperament
upon life which are doing 50 much to
modify the old dogmatic conclusions. 1t
is emphatically a novel OF the period and
is written with surprising strength aud
fire, deeply interesting throughout and a
very remarkable creation.
