MRS. GREENE.

an old-time school master in days long
before the public school was thought of.
For several years he taught in the house
In which Mrs. Greene still resides with
her son-in-law Deacon John Brown near
Slocumville.
One of the visitors at the reception Of
yesterday, for the family kept open house
all day, remembered attending school
there and said that the scholars were
seated on three sides OF the room. The
desks were of boards and the seats of
rough slabs of wood. The board slanted
toward the sides of the room and were
behind the pupils, who turned their
backs upon the master during the writing
exercise. There were three tiers of the
seats and desks, graded according 20 the
size of those who occupied them.
The husband died early in the thirties,
and Mrs. Greene was left with two sons
and two daughters One OF the latter
others, Mrs. Sarah Brown, with whom
she lives, Alfred Greene of Newport and
Samuel Greene Of Saylesvlle, were pres
ent with their families to rejoice in the
century of life SO peacefully and happily
rounded out.
Besides the four generations living in
the house and the immediate family de-
scendants gathered to do her honor, Mrs.
Greene received congratulations from
many old friends aud neighbors, among
whom was hale nonogenarian with his
estimable wife, Mr.. and Mrs. William
Bicknell, he being now in his oath year.
Mrs. Greene made most charming
hostess, conversing freely and intelli-
gently with all. IL is notable that un-
like most persons of extreme age her
mental grasp upon occurrences OF COM
paratively recent date is as tenacious ms
upon the events Of her early years For
the past two years failing eyesight has
seemed the only decaying power, and she
is now almost wholly blind.
Before that time she was able to be
about the neighborhood. and at the age
of 80 passed several days with q grand
daughter, but since a ride last fall she
hys remained wholly within doors.
About eight years ago Mrs. Greene met
with a fall in which hip was dislocated,
but she seemed fully to recover from its
effects.
Mrs. Greene has always resided within
mile or two of her present home aud
has lived an unusually quiet life.
The exercises at the reception yesterday
were informal. Refreshments were furn-
ished in abundance. AT the request of
the aged hostess, some old time songs
were sung, Miss 4. Alice Taft presiding
at the organ.
The place of honor on the table was oc-
cupied by huge birthday cake bearing
in figures the age attained, and many
birthday remembrances were left by de-
parting guests.
The picture from which the above cut
was taken is the best obtainable, though
1t does not do the old lady justice. 1t was
taken four years ago, as she appeared in
her room as "a photographer was one day
passing the house.

The additions and alterations by wards
The total amount Of money spent in
building In each ward il as follows:


Seven applications for permission to
set up steam boilers have been granted
aud fifteen applications to raise buildings.
thirty to move buildings, eleven for
vaults nnder sidewalks and two for coal
holes. There have been thirty-one certifl-
Gates for fire escapes placed on thirty-nins

The Sixth ward leads all the others in
the number of houses built, but the Tenth
comes very near 20 Il, and the Seventh
and Ninth show good progress.
The work of Contractor Newman on
building the canal walls on tho cove
grounds has been practically completed
and the work on the bridge st Gaspee
road station seems to be getting started
In fair shape after the weary details Of

What Inspector Hopkins Said.
'There has been quite an increase of
building over the first six mouths OF last
year. The nature Of the building il about
the same. Among the more Important
Of the buildings commenced arc the In
dustrial Trust Company's block. James

estate on High street which will cost
about $12, ,0Oc.
Other buildings are contemplated, but
have not yet been begun. It seems about
time for the fling of notice Of intention

talked of.
IF as much building II done In the

NEW YORK, June 30.-The Southern So
ciety has been considerably agitated for
three days over the question OF sending
congratulations to Grover Cleveland. In
fact, the club has become split on the sub
ject, and as result what was originally
designed to be letter bearing the names
of almost the entire membership has
dwindled to note with about a dozen
names attached.

it did not come from one Of the few Re-
publicans either. Many of the members
had been friends Of Senator Hill, and so
vigorous did they make the protest that
those who wanted 70 congratulate the ex-
President agreed to draw up new letter
in which the words "the undersigned
members of the Southern Society" should
be omitted.
This was done, and the letter which the
mails carried to Mr.. Cleveland on Tues
day morning read this way:
