SENATOR FRYE is one Of the warmest
aud stanchest supporters of the Amer
ican merchant marine in congress, and
to his able efforts much of the legisla-
tion favorable to its growth and progress
Is due One of the latest suggestions
for az Improvement in marine affairs
is outlined in his bill authorizing that
experiments be made to determine the
most effective means of establishing
and maintaining communication by
telephone, or some other method from
lightships and outlying lighthouses to the
shore. The proposition seems not only
feasible and practical, but if it can be
carried out would be of immense service
both in the direction of saving life and
of property.

WHOEVER permits himself to grid at
the degeneracy of the times and bemoan
the departure of the tabled age of chiv-
airy let him read the newspaper stories
of heroism connected with last week s
storm then let him reflect that not
one-tenth of the examples of heroic
rescue and attempts at rescue have been
told or will ever be known. The age of
chivalry has not passed. Ithas but Just
dawned. The deeds Of King Arthur's
knights were nothing compared with
the brave acts performed all along the
northern portion Of the Atlantic sea-
board by men possessed with the fury
of saving human life.

THE time for the beginning of the
business activity of the fall season is
almost at hand. 1t is timely, therefore,
to refer to. The News as an agency to
procure for merchants more business
easier than they can get otherwise.
Throughout the dull summer season
The News has been introducing itself
to the people. The result of the work
is shown in the statement at the head of
this page. The work has only fairly
begun. An average of 90 new sub
scribers daily is the fruit of the syste-
matte canvass we have undertaken.
The work is only fairly begun. 1t
means fully $50 new readers
every day for business announce
ments. That means new trade for all
News advertisers. We guarantee the
accuracy of this statement, and are pre-
pared to demonstrate it to anybody en-
titled to know the facts The News has
not made a great many claims regard
ing Its circulation. 1t now claims to
stand second in the list of Rhode Island
dailies. 1t will be first before yearly
contract for advertising, made between
now and January i, 1894, would expire.
This is our platform, our claim, our
promise,

Two mottoes kept at the top Of tho title
page of the Providence News contains
suggestions of value to all merchants and
tradesmep. The first isl " Merchants
ought to take the flooa-tide of returning
busine ss." and the second is: "Ihe nervy
advertiser will get the cream Of the new
business.
The outlook for good autumn and
fall trade grows brighter day by day.
Tne tide Of panic is on the ebb. Fail
ures are fewer Ia numbsr and for
lesser amounts than they were.
Mills ana factories that shut down
are reopening and calling back their
workpeople. Many banks that suspend
ed have resumed. and others are prepar'
ing TO do 20. The repeal of the silver
purchase bill has almost passed from
probability to certainty. Now is the time
for the "nervy advertiser" to secure 'the
cream OF the renewed business"

politics in Massachusetts,. He declined
to remain at the head of the state COM

Rival Life insurance Companies Recover
Their Money.
FRESNO, Aug. 29.-Four years ago the
Mutual Life Insurance company and the
Provident Savings Assurance company
wagered $1,000 each, the money to be
given to the city OF Fresno if either could
not prove that certain statements made
by it were true. The issue was to be
determined by committee OF citizens.
The committee decided that each COM
pany had failed to maintain it's claim,
and declared the $1,000 deposited by each
company forfeited to the city of Fresno.
The insurance ecompsniesthereupon sued
the bank with which the money was
deposited to recover the same, on the
ground that tine committee had not de-
cided the issue submitted to it. Yester-
day Judge Webb decided that the COM
mittee had made no decision, and that
the insurance companies are entitled to
draw down their wagers.
