liberal offer 10 Rhode Island workingmen, and
one that should have excellent practical re-
suits. The plan is outlined as follows:
The News proposes to send at its own ex-
pense q representative Rhode Island working
man to Great Britain TO report upon the con-
dtion Of workingmcn there. II will pay all
his expenses and furnish him with guide
books and all necessary information and as
sistance In laying out his route He will start
some time in May, and will have time enough
20 do b. great deal of sightseeing besides inves-
tigating huts and novels and tenements.
England and Scotland are so compact that a
great deal Of work and play, too. can be
crowded into trip Of fairly generous dura-
ton.
The choice OF the man who Is TO enjoy this
"trip IL left with the readers of the paper. the
only conditions being that he be one who
earns his living by daily labor and Is compe-
tent and willing to keep those who have
chosen him TO represent them informed by
sending an occasional letter TO the News, Civ
ing the results of his Investigations. The con-
dition of European workingmen has been de-
scribed frequently, but IL often happens that
reports are biased by the economic views Of

Not Very Enthusiastic over Annexation,

At present, as in the past the subject
that is being agitated in Providence re-
gardlng the annexation scheme whereby
the city proposes to take large part OF
Cranston, does not seem TO arouse much
enthusiasm among Johnstontes. That
local pride and sentiment which prevails
among the prominent citizens of the place
will ever be n hindrance to any attempt to
join Johnston To the city. Although. per-
haps, this pride an1 sentiment may 10 a
certain extent blind the more staid people
TO the various advantages which might
accrue TO them by such step, yet these
two features which play so prominent n
part are, in the main, justifiable. In the
first place the town is entirely equipped
with complete electric lighting plant,
has two lines Of horse cars running along
its principal thoroughfares with the cleo
trio system soon To be in running order,
streets which for neatness and durability
are surpassed by none IN any town or city
In the State, n comparatively efficient fire
department. good water service with the
prospect of the beautiful aud picturesque
Neutaconkonut hill rs n pubic park. IL
Is useless To mention, therefore, the good
which might result from an annexation,
for the above features. coupled with that
sentiment. would more than counteract
any enumeration.

almost exclusively TO the giorihcs'

the brilliance OF color we have at last
issued permission to our eyes to confess
that they enjoy, that flaming red an ;
deep yellow and pinky-white tulips we
tied up in long, stiff-stalked punches with

TO shed warmth and glow.
The most successful toilet en- evidence
was perhaps that of the hostess. who lived
up TO her tulips in pretty pinky white

A broad band OF deep yellow velvet edged
the skirt and narrower one draped the
hips and was finished with a cord and

edged with band Of the same velvet.

A gown of pale amber-colored benga-
line harmonized with the flowers almost
as perfectly. The skirt had ruching at
the foot of amber shot with green. Panels
of open work black silk embroidery fell
half way down either side, and the bodice
was of black embroidery, with guimpe of
the pale-tinted bengaline. A bias scarf
ripping from green to amber was gath
cred about the waist and tied In front
with one large crimson tulip in the knot.
In the back the scarf formed two loops,
which fell over the skirt. The sleeves had
full silk tops, with lace cuffs to the ell
bows.
The breakfast wasn't served until half
an hour past the time, because one woman
was late-of course without good reason.
But everybody except the hostess forgave
her within six minutes of her arrival. be-

There was great excitement on the street
yesterday afternoon when the horses bear

ran away, starting at Fenner street. The
horses were frightened by the electric cars
and ran furiously down Broad and Wey-

horses then ran TO Crawford street, where
the hearse ran into the curbing and the

1t is announced that the Rhode Island
Women's Club has voted to apply the in

toward the tuition fees Of some one of the
girl students in Brown University. Mrs.
Churchill promoted the organization of
the Women's Club, and since her death
the members have raised above 81 900 to
