BEN" AND DAVE" >"
Met Thirty Years Ago at ~. Helena, and
Thi. Week at Central Falls,

Met Thirty Years Ago at ~. Helena, and
Thi. Week at Central Falls,
One day this week Captain Goldsmith
OF the Central Falls police force was sit
ting in his Office at The Cross street station
when weather beaten, bearded man en-
tered.
He was stout, rugged and appeared to
be very muscular fellow, but 1t could be
seen that he had passed his prime and
was brown, as though tanned by tropical
suns and the crisp, salt sea breezes.
He carried his well built pody with the
old whaler's swing that made the Captain
think OF old times, over thirty years ago,
when he shipped from New Bedford on a
whaling cruise, n life which he followed
with moro or less thrilling experiences,
for years afterward.
Captain Goldsmith noticed a curious
familiarity about the strangers eyes as he
was thus addressed:
sis your name Goldsmith
"That's my name," said the Captain.
"Dave Goldsmith, amt it?" queried the
bearded man.
"Ycs, that's it,, said Dave.
"Well, don't you know me?" continued
the stranger, his eyes beginning totwin-
kle.
81 can't say that ! do, although there is
something about you that strikes me AZ
familiar" said the Captain.
"Well, I'm Captain Ben Foster, and we
met on the island of st. Helena over
thirty years ago when l was skipper OF
the bark President and you were on the
whaler Messenger
"By gosh, Ben, know you nowl" ex-
claimed the Captain, grasping the brown
hand; show are you any wayf"
And thus two old comrades met after so
many years in such different positions
than when they enjoyed lay-oif at st.
Helena.
Ben Foster Il n native of Ianesvillc,
and shipped from Warren. lie hns
always followed the sea, rs Captain Gold
smith did in his early life.
They enjoyed a chat, recalling old times
when the cry of "She blowS!" was always
welcome, and many were the incidents
brought back 10 memory dear OF tho
rollicking life led on the rolling deep.

People Remember Ar
fist Montague
WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE.
He Ends His Life and That of His Wife
Because of Poverty.

Many Pawtucket people remember
last Sunday, in Washington, murdered
his wife and committed suicide. He once
had an Office in Providence and often came
to this city.
The domestic relations were at the time
OF the tragedy, and always had been, Of
the most happy nature, and the only
cause for the artists act was poverty and
despondency.
Mr.. and Mrs. Montague were English
people and came to this country In 1887,
first locating at Lynn. In the winter Of
1888 they came to Providence. The artist
first had studio in the Browncll build
ing, and from there he went to room "a
in the Conrad building, where he re-
mained for the rest of the winter.
Montague was not a member OF the
Providence Art Club, and the number Of
his ncquaintances here was not large, but
all who knew him speak In the highest
terms of praise both for the artist and his
wife. All remember him as a man of
somewhat Bohemian tendencies, genial
and generous to the last degree. He was
musician as well as painter, and the
young English couples spent every even
ing together in their studio playing violin
duets.
Concerning his work with the brush, he
had some very visionary ideas, and IL was
his ambition to make famous the Chi
roscuro style OF art, in fact he did nothing
but oils in black and white. The best
representation of his work I'm Providence
is a large oil, "a Bend in the Tenekee
River" which hangs in the establishment
OF Lorimer, Wright 4 Bromley.
