era in this city, TO put 1t mildly. ana
very significant aud important era at
that. There are athletics that DO no good
at all TO anybody, least of all to those
who practice them. Such, am strongly
inclined to believe. are the practices In
large proportion OF the alleged gymna-
siums. There's deal of rot talked
about athletics The sort OF athletics
that really pay are those that include the
opening of the social pores and the de.
velopment OF the fraternal muscles OF
man. This new building IL to he so
ordered aud conducted rs to build up the
members OF the association in other ways
than to harden their muscles oil their
arms or legs. IL Is to strengthen good
fellowship as well. Such venture - OF
needed in Providence as much as any
where, Ierhaps.

Probably there has never been a MUIR
der trial in New England that absorbed
such a large proportion OF the interest Of
everybody who reads newspapers as does
the Borden trial. Almost every person
one meets about town is fully posted re-
Parding it's progress and the points OF
counsel on each side, as we'll as the the
DRY of the prosecution aud the defense.
This deep interest Is not the ghoul-like
liking for sensation that actuates inter
est In such cases as those OF Almy and
Harris, the girl murderers. IL is n very
human and humane interest. People
dread to be forced To believe that Lizzie
Borden is guilty. They hope she will be
proven innocent. and they eagerly read
all the evidence To gleau from IL gratif.
cation OF the hope.

the light trashy literature that today is
unfortunately TOO often placed within
their -each.
