A PERFECT FOUNTAIN PEN.

Too much cannot be said of any good
article that is a labor saver. A good
stylographic or fountain pen is hard to
find, and when one is discovered
by years Of assiduous toll and
a constant endeavor to meet all the
requirements of an exacting public and
sold at low figure, the opportunity
should not be abused. Such an ideal pen
has been found, and it is simply foun-
tain pen with double feed, and one
which will not leak or blot or
hurried writer. These pens gre made by
the Caw's Pen and Ink Company of 1853
Broadway, New York. The fountain pens
made by the company are noted for
simplicity, cleanliness and durability.
The ink is carried in the holder and as
they rightfully claim "never falls"
while for hurried, 4"dashaway,- writing
they are unexcelled. While being
double feed, any regular gold
pen of any size or shape can
be adjusted to them without in any way
changing the desired result, namely,
regular and steady flow Of ink. Any good
make of ink can be used in these pens, but
Caw's blue black, now In use all over this
country, is the best to use in any fountain
pen, and its many good qualities make it
renowned. The former objection to stylo-
graphic pens has been entirely overcome
vance of the inventor, and they are now
used and sold more generally than ever
No one should be without fountain or
stylographic pen I'm these days, and Caw's
is the one which now leads the market.
IL received the highest awards at the
Paris and New Orleans Expositions, and
at the Worlds Fair at Chicago.

IN LEGISLATURE.
New Bills That Are to Be Considered
at Newport This Week.

Among the new bills which are to be
introduced at the present session of the
General Assembly, Is one providing for
the construction of q new bridge across
the Seekonk river in place of that narrow,
insecure and antiquated structure known
as the Red Bridge. The extension of
the trolley system to East Providence
has been contemplated by the Union
Railroad Company but IL was found that
it was impossible to lay two sets of car
tracks and afford sufficientroom for car
riage travel and the project was aban-
doned. The plan for the new
bridge contemplates sufficient width
to accommodate double tracks in
the centre and ample roadway on either
side. Its probable cost is estimated at
100000, and the bill will pro-
vide for the appointment of
a commission to apportion the
cost according to the benefits to bc de-
rived by the cities and towns interested.
The city authorities are eaid to be I'm favor
OF the construction of a now and larger
bridge. Noopposition has been manifested
to the enterprise, and vigorous efforts
will be made to secure the passage OF the
bill by both houses before the adjourn
ment Wednesday afternoon.

The regular meeting of the school COM
mittee of the town of Crapston was held
last night. All were present. The
recently elected committeeman, Messrs.
Balm and Freeman, were qualified.
Then followed the annual election OF
officers for the ensuing year. The follow
ing is the result of the elections: Chair
man, Hugh b. Balm; clerk, Joseph
Latham; clerk pro tenn, Mr.. Reeve; SUI
Cranston, Mr.. Briggs; auditor, Mr..
Briggs. After the election the regular
business was taken up.
The superintendent was given power to
draw orders for all bills passed by the
committee.
SuFerlntenuent Briggs read his report
stating that he had examined all the
teachers and that, as whole, the exami-
nations were very satisfactory. A
discussion followed about obtaining
maps of the town with the
locations OF the buildings placed upon
them. Finally Mr.. Latham was appointed
committee to find the cost OF making
maps of each district and large map OF
the town.
Mr.. Briggs was authorized to direct the
teachers to prepare an inventory of the
movable property under his or her care in
order that the superintendent may have
tabulated form of all expenses in his
yearly report to the commissioner.
The committee decided on purchasing
the Prospect street site, costing 5000, for
the new school house on the hill. Mr..
Latham reported that he had surveyed the
lot known as the 'one acre lot'' at Oak
lawn and thought it would cost about
Si00 to grade it in addition to the $500
which is asked for it. The town treas
urer was ordered to purchase the site.
The plans Of the new school to be built
at Oaklawn submitted by Messrs. Briggs
and Dutemple were examined. The plans
OF Frederic Hill were accepted. The same
committee was authorized to get specifi-
cations and bids for the building.
Resolutions regarding the superintend-
ent's duties were laid on the table till
next meeting.
