On to Chicago.

Perhaps the scheme of the Columbian
Excursion Company, which is fully out
lined by advertisement upon another
page, may seem odd at first thought, but
the more it Is studied the more attractive
it will appear TO persons of moderate
means, who may be willing to give up
one cigar day from now till the opening
of the fair to sec 1t in comfort.
The company's plans have been thor
oughly examined by the Providence NEWS
been selected by the company as adver-
class Of readers which they reach. 1t
gives us pleasure to state that the COM
pany Is financially all right aud big
enough in its plans even for Chicago, 1t
does not propose TO handle any of the
money paid for service until that service
has been performed. Meanwhile the 1Iide
and Leather Bank of Chicago acts as
trustee and holds the money. The certi-
ficate is transferable and can be surren-
dered at any time after IL is half matured
for 50 per cent. Of its pad-in value.
Tue advantages OF the plan are obvious.
For security IL is like a savings bank.
The purchaser Of certificate gets the
advantage OF wholesale rates on every
thing. He isn't at the mercy of hotel
runners and hackmen, but knows exactly
where he is going and how, and just how
much IL Is going to cost. Chicago will be
as crowded as Minneapolis was during
the convention, when hotel bedrooms OF
moderate size rented for s. n day. The
man who has his quarters practically Sc
cured year In advance is In great luck.

Lansing'sLetters.

The publication of the letters
Of Mr.. Willard 1. Lansing upon
tho wages, cost Of living and
homo conditions Of free trade
workingmen will soon begin In
the columns of the "News."
Mr.. Lansing will visit the most
important industrial centres of
Great Britain and will spend
probably two months in the in
vestigation. He is thoroughly
equipped for his work by nature,
education and by study of
economic problems. and carries
letters Of Introduction from Sem
atOr Aldrich to our ministers
abroad and from Secretary
Blaine to our diplomatic agents
in general. He has also letters
to the largest manufacturing
firms In England, so that every
facility for prosecuting his work
will be afforded to him.
Tho manner of Mr.. Lansing's
selection for this task was a
result Of the intense excite
ment growing out Of the spring
election in Rhode Island. In q
newspaper "coupon contest to
select a representative working
man for this mission, MIR. Lans-
ing, who is an employe in lum-
ber yard, distanced all his COM
petitors, receiving nearly 54, 900
coupons out of an enormous
total. This commission Is such
as no American correspondent
ever carried before. 1t is an
endorsement in advance from
his fellow workmen of the fair
ness and perfect justice Of his
letters.

Sad Object Lesson.

Last Saturday woman was found
lying on Main street in supposed
drunken condition surrounded by a
vulgar crowd. She was taken to the
city prison. She excited the attention
OF the city physician. who examined
her and found that she had fallen of
weakness and was dying of starvation.
When she recovered consciousness
and had taken some nourishment, she
told of how she had walked the streets
for days looking and begging for
work; how, unable to pay her room
rent she was driven out; that she
could not beg. and would not steal,
therefore she was starving in the
midst of plenty-more than enough
for all!
Yesterday ayoung man was brought
to the city prison suffering from what
was supposed to be catalepsy. An
examination proved that it was starv-
alton. 1t Is supposed that he cannot
recover. In his unconsciousness he
teebly mutters papa mamma,
dear" Somebody's darling boy in
this land of equal, rights" the vic
tim of that infamous system which
permits the few to wax fat on the
misery. degradation and death of the
many! Investigation shows that like
the unfortunate woman referred to
above he was denied the poor boon
to toll. and that he would neither beg
nor steal. San Francisco Star.

determination is the living princi-

the living spark that kindles the
social element and lifts men up from
dependency, gloom and fear to u new
life of light and Joy. 1t draws men
together in the folds of a common
destiny. They touch hands stand
shoulder to shoulder and heart to

General DOYLE. who commanded
the militia in Buffalo is the general
freight agent of the Lehigh Valley
road. Now what is the difference be-
tween a few companies of Pinkerton
men under the orders Of the company

mand of company Official? Private
soldiers cannot use their own judy
ment nor do their own thinking
about anything. They must shoot
when told and at those the officer
points out There is no choice ABOUT
it and if sympathy for strikes
prompted one of them to refuse to
shoot he would be instantly brought
