Prof. Davidson delivered the second
lecture of the Dante series at the
Women's College building yesterday af-

Virgil and Beatrice AS Dante's Guides :"
He said that Dant-'s chief sources of iu-
spiration were Virgil aud Beatrice and
that there is some controversy as TO why
Dante chose these two guides and whom
they typify, for there is no doubt that
they were selected as types. Fer the two

must needs be two guides which are fur

"Iu Dante's time" he said. church
and empire were in most precarious
condition. Man was cropping in outer
darkness. No man realized this more
poignantly than Dante In all his writ

ate these conditions. Falling in this he
was forced to be content with settiug be-
fore the world the essence of the princi-
Piles upon which an ideal church and an
ideal empire are founded. This essence
of empire and philosophy was represent

Virgil, as both philosopher and poet
was fitting guide to Dante rather than

ELECTRICITY.
Interesting Exposition of the Subject by

The lecture ON Electricity by Prof. John

has yet been provided by the course.
Prof. Denote has with him a most d r.

and most useful science, and his exposi-

that even one OF the most meagre techni-

the vast possibilities embodied in a more

The Churchme ems Club Discussed ItI
Repular Meetings..

Regular Meetings.
The Churchmen's club is the leading
Episcopal social organization in Rhode
Island. It's members are the leading
men of that denomination in the state.
They met in Grace church chapel last
night TO discuss Suggestions for altera-
tions in their methods OF conducting
their meetings and dis osing OF their
money; also Of regulating the amount
and cost of the clubs food on the occa-
sion of meetings.
President X. H. l. Goddard presided at
the meeting. The first suggestion hav-
lug been disposed OF at the last meeting
the second was taken up. In substance
it proposed some less formal meetings
and more general discussion OF topics.
Mr.. Dorrance moved TO indefinitely
postpone suggestions 9, 3 and 4, and
Messrs. Angell, Pierce. Smith and ud2es
Stiuess and Blodgett and ex-Lieut. Gov
Wardw we'll discussed 1t.
Mr.. Dorrance's motion was lost
The second suggestion was, after some
discussion aud modification. adopted.
The third suggestion provided for = i'm.
pler collations and the use of any surplus
for the purpose of accumulating a fund
for a club building. Ii was suggested
that the Congreg ,tional Club spent only
Al. so each for their dinners while the
each man, and that even the Episcopal
Club of Boston only had to pay 81 for
each mem Der.
Judge Stiness favored spending the
surplus for missionary or church work.
He said tnat at the bar club dinner $40
paid for their feasts OF the season, but
each one cost 50. The absentees made up
the difference. Mr.. Dorrance did not
wish to drive away the members by cheap
dues and no dinners, as had been done in
New York and Chicago.
Judge Blodgett moved that the sugges-
tion made be only one for simple dinners
without any statement of disposing of
the surplus and that was accepted By the
committee aud adopted.
The fourth suggestion was to the effect
that the money be put into the Rhode
Island Hospital Trust Company's vaults
at the end of the year for a building
fund. Judge Stiness wanted IL spent for
church or missionary work IL was
finally decided that IL should be availa-

meeting last evening at Tillinghasts
The Rev. Charles r. Dole Of Boston read
paper on "rhe Religious Situation Of
To day" He said: 1.-THE modern church
takes its stand on the spiritual reality OF
conscience. OF moral duty. II Is already
leaving behind with a smile Of uncoacern
those ancient proof-texts and medieval
theology. / would add that We look
with equal unconcern OF the discoveries
of philosophy and sciences. They tell US
OF the mysteries of the material world
but not of God. Religion hangs not upon
any chain, the breaking of any link OF
which will destroy the CHAIN.

POSTAL BANKS GIVEN RIGHT OF WAY.

The national bank of Australasia
makes the seventh out of the ten large
Australian banks which have failed
within q few weeks. The cause is not
difficult to find. Russia and Austria.
as well as England, are in the world s
market as purchasers of gold. The
withdrawal of gold from Australia de-
creased the volume of the currency and
depressed values. The banks demanded
more security for their loans and re-
fused credits This deserved conf
dence and people began to withdraw
their deposits. AS gold standard,
with not gold enough to go round, re-
quires popular confidence for undis-
turted transaction of business, it fol-
lows that a panic at almost any time
is possible In other words, gold is no
standard at all unless people believe
in 1t. It is not in itself an honest
measure Of value. The government of
Victoria has decided to gather all the
private savings banks into one system
and attach them to the postal savings

THE present money stringency is
the result of conspiracy. Instead of
arresting the conspirators and putting
them in prison as they deserve, the
President is aiding and abetting them.
He is violating the law in doing it.
The law requires him to coin silver
and with them pay off the certificates
of deposit. He is paying these cersi-
fcates in gold and thus aiding the
conspirators He should be arraigned
and impeached. But the money
