He SOOthed Hopkins.

A Portland physician, says the Ar
gus OF that city, tells the following
story promising it with the remark
that nurses in the London hospitals
are rather apt to lay much stress ON
the advantages received by the pa
tiente and TO remind them OF the duty
of thankfulpess. Sometimes the pa
tlents do not appreciate their good
fortune. This Gene from a London
hospital related by the physician
above indicated is a ease in point:
Chaplain-So poor Hopkins is
dead! l should have liked to speak to
HIM once again and soothe his last
moments. Why didn't you call me2

A SAD CHRISTMAS.
Young ID. Harris arnold Of Central Falls
Atcd nts;ly Kllei ut Prud nce Islnni

Young ID. Harris arnold Of Central Falls
Atcd nts;IJ Kllle ut Prud nee Islani.
The body of ID. Harris Arnold, sixteen
years of age, who was Instantly killed By
the accidental discharge of his gun while
out hunting at Prudence park Sunday
afternoon, arrived in this city last evening,
and was taken to the residence OF his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Arnold, of
Clay street, Central Falls.
Young Arnold and a companion Of
about the same age, Eddie J.. Jenckes
son of President Jenckes of the Jenczes
Manufacturing company OF this city,
went Friday evening to Prudence Park,
Narragansett bay, to pass the Christmas
holidays.
They took possession of the Arnold
summer residence, and had, in bachelor
style, pleasantly passed Saturday and the
greatest part of Sunday. About A o'clock
Sunday afternoon they saw several flocks
of crows pass over the Island and thought
they would try their luck with the shot
gun.
When the accident occurred Arnold was
croached behind stone wall in a corner
of spacious lot fully 100 yards distant
from Jenckes. The latter, hearing the
report Of Arnold's rifle, hastened TO see
how many crows Arnold had brought
down.
To his horror, however, he found his
bosom friend corpse. Both barrels of
the gun had discharged themselves stimuli
taneously, tearing out the right eye and
blowing off the right side of Arnold's
head.
Mr.. Daniel III. Arnold, father OF the un-
fortunate lad, and Mr.. Joseph X. Jenckes,
father of Eddie Jenckes, went TO Prudence
Park Sunday evening, where they re-
mained until yesterday morning, when,
by permission of the medical examiner of
Newport, they started for home with the
body.
They made the trip on the City OF New
port which was chartered for the occesi1n.
The young mans mother is Frustrated
with grief. Mr.. Arnold, father of the
dead lad, who Is also q member OF the
firm of Arnold a. McGowan, Exchange
place, this city, has two other sons, one
older and another younger than the young
man who met with SO untimely death.

REGARDs HIS LATEST ORDER.
Horfes Have to lie Taken from Tho Carts
and Housed During tho Night-An Ex-
pense the Lunch Man Kicks About

The night lunch man is miserable. By
the joint mandates OF the agent OF the So
ciety with name longer than its charter
and Chief Child he is obliged to stable
the beast to shelter him from the biting
winter winds and prolong his life by let
ting him lay down to rest instead OF nap
ping upright. Most of these plugs We're
too slow for undertakers' use
and had been barred from
auction sales on the old cove lands. But
one instance Is on record of one OF them
running away. This spirited animal be-
longed to Chevalier Scott of the Pythians
and he had swallowed piece of one of his
leather sandwiches. There are some
fairly well preserved animals but they are
hitched to the gaudy carts which have
seating accommodations and a more
elaborate menu. "You see," said one OF
the prosecuted lunchmen, sit is no
use to kick, so far as humanity to
the brute3 Is concerned, but
the stablekeepers have got a dead cinch.
They make us settle on an average about
e week for shelter without feed. You
can board horse at any of the best
stables for g a week with feed three times
a day. That cuts off our profit on the
grub and in these hard times we can't
raise the price nor put in poorer materials.
These fancy carts have come into the
business and buy the best stands, and us
fellows on the outside have to trust to
luck. We are on duty from s o'clock in
the evening till 1 or 2 in the morning, and
see what loss we are likely to meet II some
scoundrel drags off the cart while we are
putting up the nags or a lamp explodes

put up Job all round, and the horses have
got the best end of it. None of us have
got rich out of this business, and its wear
ing on the brain to size up the beat from
the square man. Sometimes you
can grab fellows hat or watch
to get your pay, but II the
gang is with him and you amt a
Corbett or Mitchell, you come off bested
every time. This business amt any soft
snap, and this last scheme of the society
gives US tough set back. Guess we'll
have to get together and form q union,
and see If we can't persuade the city
council and general assembly to give US
relief. We amt great stuff as politicians,
but some OF those fellows have got broke
before now and have had to
touch us up for lunch. Now
is the time for them to square themselves,
and give us a show at getting living. We
can't afford, when provisions are so high,
to make a sandwich out of IS -four or beef
or ham from choice cuts, and Java coffee
Is out OF it. And you can bet the grub
stands by you, just as hard, and we amt
to blame il men get jag on poor rum and
go home and have the nightmare or pound
their wives and children. The grub is all
right. Give us chance, you newspaper
fellers.o
