The Grand Jury.

The first grand jurors under the new
judiciary system appeared IN the Com.
mon Pleas division of the Supreme Court
yesterday in response to the summons
sent out by the Clerk. There were 10 in
number, representing so many towns and
cities In Providence county. The mem
Der from this city is Henry NJ. Arnold.
The jury was chen sworn by the
Clerk, after which Judge Wilbur
instructed them in regard to the duties
required OF grand jury. He said
that the number OF cases to be presented
for their consideration was larger than
the Court had ever known, the total
being 13. This increase is due in a
large measure to the recent law passed
by the Legislature which provides for the
punishment OF persons for carrying con-
cealed weapons. OF the whole number of
cases, 81 come under that head. There are
also 20 cases OF breaking and entering, II
assaults with dangerous weapons, II cases
OF larceny, bigamy case and goodly
nuv ber OF nuisance cases. There IL also
one case for violation under the new act
which provides that nurses shall take
precautionary measures to prevent blind
ness In Infants by reporting any pecu-
liarity ofthe eyes Immediately. All but
one of the jurors promised To remain un.
til the work was completed.

Dainty Assaulted

While Prof. Peter Dainty was standing
on the corner OF Main and North Main
streets last night Billy McNulty OF Law
renee, Mass, who was one of "Montreal's"
seconds at the Metrop,le and would-be
bad man, came along and without word
struck Dainty in the face. Dainty is not
the kind OF fellow that engages in street
brawls so ne d Id not touch McNulty. A
warrant has been sworn out for McNultys
arrest.
The trouble grew out of some words
they had Monday night at Providence.
Dainty says Falvey has refused to accept
the 200 to box him six rounds and as
McNulty claims to want To meet Dainty he
will give him 300 IL he stands up six
rounds before him.

Island should See 10.
The State Fair Is now In sue :essful
Narraga3Sett Park. The fair opened Mon
day but was attended chiefly by officials,
exhibitors and those who are interested
In horse flesh. These, however, made a
goodly array and 1t was the best "tirst
day" In the history of the State Fair.
The threatening weather of yesterday
had dampening effect upon the attend.
ance during the day. This was overcome
somewhat in the afternoon and evening
and the lighting Of the grounds In order
to keep open evenings is proving TO be
very popular with the working people.
A meeting Of the executive committee
was held yesterday morning at headquar-
ters. President Perkins presided, and it
was decided to continue the fair on Satur-
day, owing to the weather.
The dog show is a splendid exhibition
In every respect, and the department de-
voted to CANNES always has its full COM
plement of visitors. Every dog is entered
under the rules of the American Kennel
Club, and one of the provisions of this or
ganization is, that an exhibition shall not
last over four days.
The new arrivals in the poultry show
were very large, and at noon yesterday
Superintendent Davis stated that there
were 3O6 exhibitors and over 5000 birds
on exhibition.
The National Band, under Leader He'd
lv, Is making many friends in addition to
those already gained by the fine playing.
The programs given on various parts OF
the ground are of the popular sort.
The New York and New England Rail-
road, with the trains every fifteen min
utes, is proving very popular with those
who are going to the fair grounds, the
transportation being very rapid.
The mail service which was established
last year has been continued this year.
Mail addressed Narragansett Park, re-
ceived at the Cranston postoffice, Is trans
ferred to Secretary Collins office, where
this weeks residents of the grounds can
without trouble obtain letters and parcels.

Looking st Things.

When MIR. Hudson was in Patagonia,
he fell in with gambler, who told him
that always after the first few rounds Of
the game he knew some Of the cards as
they were dealt He recognized them
by difference so slight that another
man could not detect it even when IL was
pointed ont to him. ~
Mr.. Hudson is an ornithologist, and
he says that this same preternaturally
sharp eyed nan was greatly surprised
when he was told that half dozen kinds
Of sparrows were feeding and singing
about the house. He had never seen any
difference in them, he said. In size, color,
shape and actions they were all alike,
and they all sang and twittered alike, 30
far az he had ever noticed.-Youth's

Faust in Music Hall.

Morrison's famous scenic and dramatic
production OF Goethe's immortal Fmst
was Witnessed in Music Hall last evening
by very large and appreciative audience.
So interesting and thrilling is this story
made famous by "The Shakespeare of
Germany" that the members OF the COM
pany we're closely followed through every
line. The scenery was beautiful, the
musical portions sublime and the cleo
trical and calcium light effects startling
and wonderful. The scene in act four,
"The Summit Of the Brocken- Revel OF
the Demons on Walpurgis Night" was
one never to be forgotten. With such
standard attractions Manager Manning
will soon make Music Hall iavorlte place
for the lovers OF the drama. The next at
traction will be Evans and Hoey in "rhe
Golden Wedding" Wednesday evening,
September 9th.

VALLEY FALLS.

Why are the streets where gas Is pro-
vided for lighting left In darkness these
nightsf Certain of the lamps have not
been lighted lately. John street bridge
has been as dark as IT well could be for
the last week. The almanac may tell the
lamplighter that the moon is due to
illume Valley Falls on certain evenings,
but the almanac, fortunately or unfortu-
natery, does not control the moonshine.
occasionally the almanac gets left, and on
such occasions the people who have busi-
ness on the streets where electric lights
are not provided are made aware of the
fact so forcibly that they can hardly be
blamed for thinking, and, at times, say
ins hard things Of the lamplighter. Dis
card the almanac and watch the moon.
A great many citizens OF this villige
would like to have some one explain why
more attention Is not given by the police
to the loungers on and about the Broad
street bridge.
Scarlet fever has fortunately kept away
from this place. Perhaps the reason is
that too much precaution has not been
taken. There are insane sanitarians in
some villages who should be sent to the
Worlds Fair at public expense.
