Mr. Lakey VIII Attend the Convention
at Des M oines. Ia.
Among the many representatives of
the 100000 members OF the Good Temp
lars of the world at DesMoines. Ia, on
June 13, Rhode Island will have one del
egate. This will be the thirty-sixth an
nual session of the order and will be
particularly prominent. as the conven-
ton will embrace dele Gates from all
over the worli. The last session was
held In Edinburgh. Scotland, in May.
1891.
Some idea of the immensity of this or
ganization will be gained when IL Is said
that the single grand lodge of New
contains 40 600 members. while in Eng
land there are 10000. aud over that num-
ber ia Sweden. The object Of the Good
Templars is total abstinence Of strong
drink. They each are required to sub
scribe to the following pledge:
"That they will never make, sell, use,
furnish nor cause TO be furnished TO
others, as a beverage. any spiritous or
malt liqu wine or cider, and will dis
coun.enance the manufacture and sale
thereof in all proper ways"
Rhode Island numbers some 1000 MEM
bers and is therefore entitled to one del
eQate, This states delegate is Frank T.
Lakey, a student at Brown. The reason
Rhode Island does not have more than
one delegate is because of the smallness
of the organization in this state. Massa-
chusetts numbers some IL, 600 and there
fore sends eleven delegates.
Mr. Lakey has already left for the con-
yeutlOp.

tectives even intimated that the
red-handed criminal was not dis

was not openly reputed nor did it seem
TO surprise any one. But they did find

They were as numerous as tomahawks
at an Indian wardance. They were so
numerous that no one knows how they

at wide variance as to how they got

small piece OF brown paper, another
wraps it up IN n newspaper. One puts

The people of Providence and vicinity

suburban residences over spending the
heated months in the crowded city; not
necessarily in the country are these
parks, but just outside the city limits,

cars. Wayland Park lies on both sides

and N. f. railroad is but one minutes
walk Of the entrance to this new prop
erty which is receiving so much of public
interest at present. The land Is elevated,
affording an unsurpassed outlook OF the
surrounding country, and slopes just
enough sonthward to give excellent
natural drainage. II Is not surprising
that fully oue-half Of the whole tract has
been so readily disposed OF when you
consider the improvements being made
ON the property. The firm, Knowles,
Mccain 81 Co., la Weybosset street, are
cutting every street TO regular grade.

most any man or woman can now OBJ

Unnecessary outlay.
The owners announce another excur-
sion on Wednesday. June IA. and offer free
round trip tickets to all desiring to see
the property. No doubt a large crowd
will avail themselves Of an opportunity
for little outing.
