Playing the Part Of . Good Samariean--
Preventing Another Bird from Dying,
My canary bird, Noah, Is singing over
my head an unusually beautiful and
checring song, md fancy that his
clear notes are due to the clever trick
he performed the other morning, says O
writer In the.Philadelphia Times. The
night before had been very. cold, but
the sun rose warm and the chill wind
had departed, SO that when Noah; in
his pretty, clever way, begged me- to
let him have little fly around the gar
den, opened the window and bsde
him go.
On these rare occasions he waits for
my whistle to tell him ''time's up" but
on this occasion l had not more than
seated myself at my work when saw
Noah at the window pane. was sur
prised, but concluded he had found the
air unpleasantly cold. SO raised the
sash to admit him.
But rs put out my hand to take him
he flew back into the garden. laughed
at his play, for took it to be that, and
went back to my seat. In another
minute, however, heard flutter of
wings once more against the glass and
saw Noah there again. Calling to him
that I was not to be fooled again, 1
kept my seat, bat he continued to
throw himself so violently against the
pane that was afraid he would kill
himself, so l once more opened the
window.
AS soon as did so he few away as
before, but this time It dawned on me
that he might mean something by his
conduct. stepped out into the garden,
where he greeted me with u burst o1
joyful song and few away just few
feet ahead of me, looking back as he
futtered on. followed, and he led me
to q rose bush Mt the other end of the
garden, but could not see what
brought him, until, with series o,
loud, staccato notes, he flew down be-
side heap Of yellow leaves.
Then saw lying there what took
to be dead canary, but. when

HARD TO EXPLAIN,
There Is Always Rush for Employment
In Dangerous Occupations.

There Is Always n Rush for Employment
In Dangerous Occupations.
One of the curious features of mod.
ern life is the extent to which the most
hazardous trades are overrun by ap.
plicants for work. The electric light
companies never find any difficulty in
obtaining all the linemen they need,
Notwithstanding the fact that the dan.
gers of that kind of business have been
demonstrated times without number.
The men who work in factories where
wall paper is made frequently joke one
another over the tradition that mans
life, in this siade, is shortened ten
years, says the Medical Age.
A similar belief is prevalent in fac.
tories where leather papers arc made,
and among men who have to handle
them, and whose lungs are said to be-
come impeded by inhaling the dust
arising from such papers In certain
other factories whore brass ornaments
and fittings are made the air is laden
with very fine brazen particles, which
are. when inhaled, especially irritating
to the lungs. But one of the most
singular advertised calls for employees
that was ever printed appeared recent
ly in Connecticut newspaper, signed
by firm engaged in /. the business of
building towers.
1t called for applicants only among
those who are young, strong and cour-
ageous, and closed by saying: "We
warn all seekers for this job that it is
OF the most dangerous nature, and that
few men continue in 1t more than few
years. In fact, it Is almost certain
death to the workman who follows this
occupation"

Wonderful Growth In the Western Section
of the CITY.
Persons who have not visited the sec
tion of the city on the Smithfield road,
Reservoir avenue and Weeden street dur
ing the past six months would not recog-
nize the place were they to take ride out
on tho Mineral Spring avenue line Of
electric cars and then walk to the Smith
field road, which is about five minutes
walk distance.
The section referred to Is north Of
Mineral Spring avenue and between the
Smithfield and Power roads and runs
north IA far az the Lincoln line, which
crosses the Smithfield road at the Lindsey
tavern.
Tho land has all been plated and streets
laid out and the jump the prices In real
estate have taken during the past year is
surprising. 1t is the vicinity known as
Stump Hill, close to the reservoir, and a
resident said yesterday:
ain very short time Stump Hill will be
to Pawtucket what Mount Pleasant is to
Providence. One year ago there was one
lone white house and the Lindsey tavern I;
now there are nealy two hundred houses
erected and fifty-si contracted for.
II is nice place for workingmen to buy
n homo. The terms OF sale are easy and
the location grand. Electric cars will be
run on the Smithfield road, by extending
the Mineral Spring avenue branch, in a
short time.
Charles Chandler has very fine plat of
house lots located between the Smithiieid
and Power roads and within five minutes
walk of the electric cars for sale at very
reasonable figures.

A GOLD MINE.

stump HIN the Sceae of Prospector's
Experiment.
Many people In this city will be sur
prised to learn that gold mine is being
worked within the limits of this munich
pality but such is fact.
A ride up Reservoir avenue to where
1t begins to ascend the hill where
the reservoir IL located will dispel all
doubts in the minds of skeptics.
There on a rocky promontory is located
derrick, engine and boiler and several
men arc busily engaged in sinking a
shaft about ten feet in diameter.
Professor Carpenter OF Providence is the
man who believes there is gold there and
ID. j. Cronin of this city has the contract
TO sink the shaft in the solid rock.
The professor hires the land and pays $40
month for its use. One shaft was sunk
scventy-five feet in the rock and had TO
be abandoned, as water was struck and it
rapidly filed.
The first shaft was very near the avenue
and the one now at work on is about one
hundred feet back. The last shaft has
been sunk about thirty five feet.
Mr.. Carpenter sunk about 5000 in put
ting down the first shaft.and the cost OF
the present one is s25 per foot. He is sure
there is gold there and means to find it.
TRIBUNE reporter visited the place
yesterday afternoon and when he and his
guide arrived the latter remarked to the
engineer:
"rhis gentleman, (meaning the scribe,)
does not think there is gold here"
The engineer answered the query with:
ado you blame bimf"
Another workman was asked IL no
thought there was any gold there.
"I don't know" he said; "but it is the
funniest rock l ever saw"
The professor is persistent and comes
out every night and takes home a load OF
specimens. He has all the implements of
prospector and says gold will be located.

II he desired 20 make any statement on the
Mayors suspension of the City Treasurer,

talk with the Mayor or City Treasurer, or
both.

John b. Riley notifying him of his APP
pointment as Assistant Treasurer pro
tom.
Mr.. Riley at p. m. informed His
Honor that he did not care to act.

at the time Of going to press and Mayor
Carroll had not appointed another tenn
porary City Treasurer.
IL Mr.. Bates refuses to retire under sus-
pension an officer may be called to eject
him.

interest and even a great many Republic
cans are saying the Mayor did just right.
