We need in this town, and perhaps
we have one if he were known, an
'All-round man" A man handy with
tools, who can put up shelf, replace
a broken hinge, procure and put in
window glass, supply leg TO a chair,
a rocker to a cradle, patch up broken
plaster, and matters of thai sort
A competent man who could do
such things about the house or when
possible, at shop or room of his own,
without noise, confusion or dirt, would
be invaluable. He should be fairly
neat workman and cleanly man,
If there is such man he is not
visible to the average eye-he cannot
be found when needed and therefore
the shutter breaks clear OIL, the glass
falls out Tor want OF putty, the chair
goes to wrack, the cbilds slumber is
broken, and the broken plaster is still
more dilapidated. And what is worse
than all, the temper OF the whole
household is pu. apon strain and trial
and everything seems out Of Joint
You remember Franklin's story
For want Of nail the shoe was lost,
or want of shoe the horse was lost,
for want OF the horse, &c &c, until
mishap after mishap overwhelmed the
establishment
Now II competent man, fitting
himself up with the necessary tools,
announced himself in tie town papers,
as prepared, ready and able to per
form and do such odd Jobs and work,
and then, having place where he
could be found, would follow that up
by personal call upon the citizens
it seems possible that he and they
would be very greatly helped and
obliged.

A special meeting OF the Council will be
held today 10 take into consideration the
importance OF continuing the new road
leading TO Warren upon the main road.
When this Council was elected in
March at our annual town meeting
IL was purely Republican. The members
were elected with immense majorities over
the old Council, which was composed OF
both parties. They at once, after their
Inauguration, apportioned out $4,000
for the highways, 5000 for an extern
the main road, 5000 for Metacom
avenue, 5000 for Bay View and $1,000 for
the compact part of the town, with a re-
serve for sidewalks and emergencies ifany
should occur. The opposition made
fearful kick against the present incum-
bents apportioning out the money as
they had done, but President Gibson acted
as n commissioner TO carry the plans into
execution. The main road was surveyed
by Engineer Chace and n strip 1000 feet
long and II feet wide was TO be built
for the amount appropriated. Pesident
Gibson at once employed Mr.. James Con-
merry, a competent road builder, TO take
general charge OF the construction OF the
road. He commenced work on March "a.
and the road is now nearing its completion.
so much so that a part OF the help has
been set aside for a few days until Bay
View avenue will be commenced. AT the
terminus OF this new road will be left
about $50 feet running North TO the half
way line between Warren and Bristol. Mr..
Connery offers 20 complete this at an cx-
pense not to exceed four hundred
dollars. The Council will undoubtedly
accept the proposal and the road will be
finished st the time stated In THL News

WIDENING SOUTH MAIN STREET
Ninety Per Cent. of the Abutters Oppose
the Proposition.

The abutting owners on South Main
street from Pioneer lane to Transit street
appeared before the joint committee on
highways yesterday to protest against
the proposed widening OF the main
thoroughfare. According TO the plans
submitted with the recommendations of
the committee South Main street was to
be widened 10 feet, the land TO be taken
from the westerly side of the road. The
estimated cost OF the improvement was
stated at s26,352
w. M. Bailey, Benjamin g. Gladding,
Robert Sherman, William III. Earle, Henry
j. Spooner, Stephen o. Edwards and
j. ]. Luther appeared to protest
against the adoption OF the plan.
They claimed that there was scarce
ly an abutting owner who wanted
the work done. They could see no benefit
that was to be derived by the improve
ment, and il the property was molested its
value would be very much less than ii Is
at the present time. For this reason
about ninety per cent. of the abutters had
signed the remonstrance.
The only party to receive any actual
benefit from the work seemed to be the
Union Railroad Company. This corpora
tion was anxious to put in a double track
i'm order that IL might be able to
run more cars to Crescent Park dur
ing the summer season. II this was done
and only 10 feet were added to the
width OF the street there would be no more
roadway than there was at present and it
seemed TO be unjust that the abutters
should be expected to pay for work that
resulted in their loss and the
benefit of only one corporation. IL
was the duty of the members of the City
Council to protect the interests of the tax
payers and il would be contrary to their
interests to make such an expenditure OF
money when such a percentage of the
abutters had shown their objection to the
project.
James III. eendergast was the only person
who appeared in favor of the plan. He
said that while he had no personal inter-
est in the work, and would not be bene-
flied by IL, he thought il would be of ad-
vantage TO the business interests Of the
city.

The Providence Firemen's Association
for Mutual Assistance held its quarterly
meeting in the house of the Three
Ones on Exchange Place last evening.
The treasurer's report showed that the
sum of 1864 had been paid out
during the quarter, and claims amount
ing to $500 were ordered paid, leaving the
assets of the Association s4S59. The
amount paid out during the year was
nearly three thousand dollars and the in
crease was about four hundred
dollars. This year the increase
will diminish to less the extent OF the
interest on the $4,000. 1t Is thought by
those I'm authority that by January 1, 1896,
the association will be thing OF the past.
The association was formed in the early
DAYS of the department, and
leading citizens from time to
time made generous donations to IT,
and at one time the assets were in
the vicinity OF $4,000. 1t was
formed for the purpose OF assist
ing members who were injured while on
duty and the amount paid was ~ per week
with medicine. IL the department IL made
wholly permanent there will be no need
OF his association.

The occasion was one of rare enjoyment
and from early in the evening until mid
night the spacious floor was thronged
with the gayly dressed dancers moving
hither and thither in the measures of
the waltz, polka and galop. The scholars
were in control OF the floor until $3.50
o'clock when the guests were allowed to
participate in the dancing. A very neat
program of dance numbers had been pre-
pared, including several innovations and
all the popular figures OF the day. The
pupils danced in exhibition
new gavotte quadrille, as accepted
and danced at the court of His Majesty
Emperor William III. of Germany, and SO
well were the figures executed
that all were filed with en-
thusiasm. Two new dances were
also executed, the Amsterdam and Column
bia polka, both of which were remarkably
pretty. During the evening Mr.. Carpenter
was presented with a superb diamond stud
by the classes, the presentation being

De Forrest Ordway.
The dance program included fourteen
numbers. The music was rendered by

Providence Franklin Society.

AT the regular meeting OF the Franklin
Society last evening paper was read on
Egyptian Sculpture by w. Granville
Hastings of this city. He said, in sub
stance: The art of "imitating" living
forms forms in in stone, stone, or metals,
origin undoubtedly TO the Egyptians.
The rise of this art with them was due to
their rapid advance in architecture, the
development of love for the beautiful,
and the great incentive from their belief
in the posthumous life for the body. This
latter led them TO the mummifying OF the
body and the making OF Itinerary
accidents of all time the ka
or double would be saved from annihils-
ton. From this mysterious religious
reverence for the body grew their wonder
ful embodiment of the human form in
colossal statues OF unparalleled impressive
ness due TO their dignity of expression.
The technical skill of the Egyptian
workers was OF the very highest order,
and in many respects not excelled in our
day. Their engineering skill in trans
porting statues weighing 500 tons and
erecting them I'm places $50 miles from the
quarry Is still a wonder TO us.
Mr.. John Fretwell followed with a care
ful resume OF the question OF the "possi-
bility" OF squaring the circle, giving "facts
and figures" from the period of Archi-
medes OF Syracuse. An instance was
given OF resident OF Leyden, who had
carried the decimal out to GOO numbers,
and yet there was Northumberland the
circle would never be ultimately SCARED.
So well was this known that the British
Society and the French Institute both
would reject unopened any communica-
tion on this snbioct and simply classed IL
with attempts 10 solve perpetual motion.
The thanks OF the society were rendered
TO both Mr.. Hasting and Mr.. Fretwell
