Providence Is growing.
To the residents of this city II Ia not q
apparent perhaps that the city is growing
and that very rapidly, as IL Is to one who
has been away few years. We will NOT
| 60 back 20 years but only 10. Note the
| new buildings within that time. Observe
what an addition 10 n to the city's growth
and an evidence Of prosperity as noted In
the Hospital Trust Building, the Indus
trial Trust Company structure and the
fine edifice of theProvidence Athletic As
sociation. The electric car system was {
stride forward, and while the trolley ID
decrisd tt serves its purposes until some-
thing better is offered.
Twas in the kinetoscope exhibition hall
at 2Se Westm inster strset last evening be-
tween 8 and 7 o'clock and enjoyed for the
hrst time hearing phonograph as IL
should be heard. What I wish to impress
on the reader 10 tho fact that the phono-
graph rs exhibited by the Holland Bros.
10 far different from what you
have been led TO believe was
Q phonograph, but which was only
squeaky indistinct imitation. Why? The
answer is simple, Usually no one compe-
tent to attend to the inner workings to
apply the force suf{icient to have the rec
ords clear enough to distinguish readily
has had anything to do with the publicly
exhibited phonograph hereabouts before
the advent OF the Messrs. Holland, When
you drop q nickel to hear q band play
from one Of the Photographs at the above
place you hear the band. II b music dis
tinct and clear ~ II it was In infantry
Hall and you were In the back seat. So
suddenly popular has the phonograph be-
come that several more are to be added
forthwith.
Annabelle, the serpentine dancer.
For months during the Worlds Fair
this dancer plsased large audiences in
Chicago. She danced herself right into
favor, she was 90 finished and artistic in
her work. She u dancing every day in
No. 8 box OF the kaleidoscope exhibit at
2S9 Westminster street. Sandow, who
was married yesterday In Manchester,
Eng, is also on exhibition at the same
place.
The hustle Is coming.
II the right kind OF hustle will come
which the business men are interested In
everybody WILL bs glad OF 1t. But the
oustle referred to 10 some kind of an arr |
'angement which fashion imposed upon |
her followers some years since, and "they |
sy" II Is coming into style again. "They
ay" that It's advent will be gradual, but
10 will assume It's normal size
md become a. ridiculous ~ ever. "Thsy
ay" that the divided skirt 70 to be dis
arded and that the hustle IL to be su-
IRENE. OF course II may interfere with
BICYCLE riding but 1t win help the Del
arte walk.
Down the river possibilities.
1t seems funny that some men with
apital do not take into consideration the
offered to make money by
akiug advantage of the natural end add
ng to 1t the artificial somewhere on our
eautiful Bay. You don't have to 60 any
urther down the river than Silver spring
o commence.
Suppose, for instance, . large pavilion
'as built out over the water south OF the
resent dining and dance hall containing
large music hall, and IN observatory
'wer was built on one end with elevators
take the people up. Then wide pisEEas
,r the accommodation OF thousands OF
eople to promenade a1d listen to good
'usic were also provided. A feast OF
'nterns, say In the evening, and fireworks
nd band concerts, how long would it
Ike to pay interest on the money in
ssted and reduce the principal besides
'ell, never mind. The right party from

Business Is to be better.
There Ia every indication, In spite of the
'oakers, for business 10 be decidedly
'tter this fall. Everything points to
'at desirable end. A demand for goods
axes the supply, and the supply will,
} forthcoming ~ soon ~ the do
and makes itself apparent. This
untry has not gone to the bow
ows, and season Of great prosperity is a
tie ways ahead. The croakcrs want to
mp on the band wagon while they have
shancc. The people run this country
d when the servants whom they ap- :
int demonstrate their unfitnsss for the
sition to which they are elected, why ,
ey pitch them overheard, head, neck
d heels into political oblivion.
