THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
DIR. Tucker OF '73 Lectures at Brown
University.

DR.. Tucker OF '73 Lectures at Brown
University.
Dr. Tucker, of the class of 1873, lectured
on the Monroe Doctrine before the Senior
class at Brown University this morning.
Most institutions hold that the Neutral
ity proclamation Of President Washing
ton issued in 1894 is the corner stone Of
the policy later styled the Monroe Doc
trine.
In Washington's farewell address is the
remarkable sentence imploring the
American people to keep out of all Eu-
ropean entanglements, basing his entreat-
les to the American citizen on our geo.
graphical position and our international
relations.
A little later when the three powers,
United States, England and Russia came
into joint possession OF Oregon Territory.
j. q. Adams. Secretary of State under
President Monroe, informed the Russian
government that IL Russia should make
any further efforts to ruin foothofd in
America the United States government
would consider It ground for war.
Richard Rush, then minister to England,
and Canning, prime minister of England,
then entered into interesting correspond
ence concerning the movements OF Eng
land. Minister Rush intimated the same
sentiments to Canning as did Secretary
Adams to the Russian government.
There have been very many sources OF
disturbance such as to make the United
States resort to the Monroe Doctrine.
Such as Cuba. Yucatan and Central
America. The United States has several
compromise treaties referring to this same
doctrine.

THE OUTING MAN.
Some Of the Ideas He Got Into His
Head.
HE WAS PROBABLY TIRED
And Did . Good Many Things which He
Seems to Censurs Some other People
for Doing-where People Enjoyed
sundsy--Comm ments ON Summer. People.

The summer outing began in earnest
yesterday, although it is still little early
for shore promenading. Roger Williams
park was one of the chief places of rest
and all day it was thronged with people
on foot and in carriages. The peacocks'
feathers were looking their brightest, but
the young girls new hats and summer
gowns fairly outdid the peacock's feathers.
Red leather shoes. too, were numerous.
The great tiger and the lions and bears
grew tired Of walking to and fro in their
cages in the warm afternoon and lay
down to rest. by the way, why does a
Gagged animal walk 30 much? Perhaps he
feels it his duty to show himself to the
crowd he is intended to amuse. III
he sought his own comfort he
would be quiet. But why do the summer
pleasure seekers walk so muchy IL they
sought their greatest comfort they would
find cozy nook as soon as they reached
the park and sit down TO rest, but they
do not. To and fro they go. perhaps, like
because they really need the exercise,
especially those who sit at work or stand in
one place all the week, and you will notice
that most Of the people you see at the
park on Sunday are those who do work
and work hard. Some of them were
making very nhru WOrk out Oh TOWluS
very easy going boats i'm the lake. The
little launch was busy and the swings
flew back and forth all day. The
greatest difficulty with outing in
Providence, unless one walks, Is the
crowded conveyances. The street railroad
company tries TO accommodate all, and so
do the steamboat companies, but they
can't do it. IL you go to the Park and
get chance to stand up in "A car coming
back you are lucky. 1t Is often the same
on the boats. 1t must be that Providence
literally empties itself into the suburbs
and down the bay in summer.
The people who don't go TO the park
named after Roger Williams, either go to
the Seekonk, down the river or drive into
the country-unless they really feel too
tired to 20 anywhere. The outing doesn't
affect the size of church congregations
much yet, but certainly it must make the
ministers feel lonesome later. Perhaps
the preachers look forward TO period
of rest with complacency, however.
Providence's regular church-goers do not
let their outing keep them away, but the
irregular attendance falls off almost al
together In outing season. i felt myself
much improved in my mental equilibrium
after a sunday stroll, which with aid OF
horse cars and electric cars took me pretty
well around the SUBURBS, yesterday.

DROWNED AT HOPKINS PIER.
The Man Found This Morning Perhaps
the One Who Disappeared.

Patrick Donovan, deck hand on one Of
the river steamers, discovered the body of
a man floating in the river near the Hop
kins e. Pomroy slip at o'clock this
morning. He secured the body and towed
it To the shore, where Officer Mayno took
charge. DR.. Palmer was summoned, and
after viewing the corpse ordered its re-
moval TO the morgue.
The man had evidently been i'm the
water about a week and appeared to be
about 3S years OF age. The face was
smooth and the head was covered with
reddish hair. 1t is supposed that this is
the same man who disappeared mysteri-
ously one morning recently and whose
dinner pail was found floating i'm the
river. The officers at that time fished
around for several hours, but were unable
to find the body, and the search was
abandoned to uwuitT further develop
ments.

Those who go "down the river now
are somewhat adventuresome, but there
are great many such, and quite large
crowd got shore dinners yesterday. The
greatest advantage of going down now is
that one escapes the crush which he en-

excitement of the crowd is one of the chief
attractions to many.
