Prof. Mathews drew 4 good house al the
Baptist church on Saturday evening at his
illustrated lecture, Castle and Town Life
in the Middle Ages" His lecture described
the develop ment Of the castle from the old
Roman tower to the walled palaces which
were the abode of kings and knights. His
remarks were intersperced with interesting
legends which still cluster around the old
ruins of the long ago deserted castles, max
ing the evening one of great enjoyment as
well as profit TO those who we're in at;en-
dance, Tne lecture WAS illustrated With
numerous fine sterioptesn views which
added TO. little to the pleasures of the en-
tertanment.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

1t looks now quite as though the at
tempt TO rescue the Duke of Veragua
from the pit of bankruptcy he has
digged for himself would not result in
a wholly satisfactory manner.
The gentlemen who are preparing TO
ask Americans to contribute to this
fund for the financial relief of this de-
scendant of Columbus are to be besieged
by other members of the family for a
division of whatever shall be collected.
From present appearances it may be
judicious for the movement to be aban-
doned before il becomes the basis for a
scandal that will tend to bring discredit
upon the remnant of the Columbus
family, and put the generous Americans,
whose hearts are wrung by their woes,
in position they will not at all relish.
If the family of the noble duke is Sc
sordid as to make it disagreeable for the
promoters of the movement for their
relief before it has begun to assume
tangible shape, it may be taken for
granted that there will be unseemly
wrangles over the disposition of what
ever money may be collected.

officers and men and fix their compensa'
tion. s, .
The city council. however, retains a
general oversight overthe work Of the
commission and provides that monthly
and annual reports must be made to 1t.
1t also has the power to remove any
commissioner for inefficiency or miscen-
duct by two-thirds vote Of the city
council in joint convention.
The movement toward the creation
of "a commission was inaugurated by
those who were dissatisfied with the
manner in which the fire department
has been and siill is managed. There
was and is, in their opinion, friction be-
tween certain opposing elements which
threaten its efficiency and it is because
it is believed commission will eradi-
cate these disturbing elements and
bring the department to higher
standard of excellence that com
mission has been proposed.
III these hopes are realized the tax
payers will not be disposed to grumble
at the extra expense involved.

ANOTHER HITCH.

II will be a matter Of sincere regret
if the erection Of memorial to Eben-
ezer Knight Dexter is to be delayed
until the general assembly meets next
January.
According to Councilman Kendrick
this postponement is compulsory, as,
under the law, the city has no power to
appropriate money for the purpose
intended.
This may be the case, but it does
seem to be giving strained interpreta-
ton to the statutes. True, the word
pedestal" does not appear, but the
city has the right to make improve
ments without running to the legisla-
ture with petitions every time $1,000 or
less is needed.
The work to be done on the Dexter
training field is essentially an improve
ment. 1t is desired by the people who
wish to have 1t completed without
unnecessary delay, and for that reason
it is hoped the committee on finance, to
whom the resolution was referred,
will not deem it obligatory on the
city to await the action OF the general
assembly.

BEST KIND OF WORK.

NJ The New York Sun on Monday did a
great service to all intelligent people
who wish to keep fully up to the times
Its extremely interesting article upon
the trouble in Paris was an example Of
the very best possible journalism.
1t enabled Americans to acquire in an
hour information in no other way avail
able regarding the true cause and sig
nificance of the recent disturbance in
the French capital.
1t was splendid piece of newspaper
enterprise, and thoroughly character
istic of The Sun which every day gives
it's readers something in the same. line
that is practically invaluable to busy
people who cannot devote their whole
time and energy to keeping up with the
march of events.
The Sun is assuredly a great news
paper, beneficent friend and reliable
and indefatigable instructor, if not an
always to be depended upon political
mentor. 4.

THE FIRE COMMISSION.

For the second time the common
council has passed a bill creating fire
commission. Whether the measure
will be concurred in by the board Of
alderman or defeated, as a similar one
was last year, remains to be seen.
Under the bill passed last evening the
commission is to consist of three men,
bers who are to be elected in joint con-
vrntiun on the first Monday in October
nexi-one for one, one for two and one
for three years. After that one mem

+aGETTlNG THERE

Nothing describes The News's growth
Just now better than the expressive
phrase above. 1t is emphatically "get-
ting there"
Its rapid and sustained growth is in
the direction which alone guarantees
permanency and the greatest possible
value to its advertising patrons.
Newspapers that depend chiefly upon
street sales for their readers must be
content to reckon them in about the
proportion Of one reader for one sale.
That is, if paper prints, we will
say, 1900 copies, it can fairly claim no
more than 1900 readers, if it is sold
chiefly on the street.
But if newspaper that is chiefly
delivered in homes prints say $4,000
copies daily, it can fairly claim that 1T
has fully 10000 readers.
The News is the latter kind ofa paper.
IL goes into the homes and is read by
the family. Its circulation represents a
larger number and greater proportion
of buyers of frst-class goods than any
other Providence paper.
