received and the resignation OF Mrs. Ba-
con, one of the matrons, considered. II

for the purpose OF erecting a nursery.
The treasurer's report shows a balance
in the treasury of S15S.s2. The total ex-
psnse OF the Olneyvlle branch wass1725.36;

Captain Stevens OF the Central Station
is no lover OF the tramp fraternity, and
from his own stories he can not be ex-
pected to be, for all tramps who arc fur
nished with sleeping accommodations by
the city are turned over TO him. During the
recent snow storm there was a large num-
Der, and one of them, who by the way told
the captain that ne was very hungry, was
asked by the captain in the morning to
clean off the snow in front of the station.
He did so, and then the captain took him
up 10 the Central Hotel and gave him
some sandwiches and cup Of coffee,
When the tramp had got away with his
feed he turned to the captain and Said I:
"Don't get any pie7' mo" said the
captain. "Well," said the tramp. al don't
thank you for that much, for II you
had let me off with the gang i would
have had a good beefsteak before this"
The captain says that the city should have
q stone yard or some other place where
these fellows could be put 10 work. Then
the greater part OF them will give this
city the Ego by" as he is positive that
work is the greatest punishment that can
be inflicted upon a full fledged tramp.

ALL SCARED BUT BOB.
The Coloneps Chatter About the Bible
in Providence Opera House.

Colonel Robert q. Ingersoll was greeted
by house full of intelligence and intellect
last evening when he gave his latestS lee
ture at the Providence Opera House. The
subject was "The Bible" and tho
lecturer began by saying, "Somsbody
must tell the truth about the
Bible. Ministers dare not, for If they did
they would be driven from their pulpits
college professors dare not, for they
would lose their positions; editors dare
not for fear OF losing their cir
culation; politicians dare not, for fear of
being defeated, even merchants dare not
for fear of losing custom, Jand the poor
clerk dare not, for fear OF being dis
charged, so thought would do it my
self"
The speaker continued in bonn tic
strain throughout his discourse, ridicul-
ing where be=failed TO convince and do
claring the Bible the enemy of liberty.
The old theories that nobody knows
who wrote certain book, and that David
did not write the Psalms, and that men
would not know If they were inspired, or
are crazy IL they think SO, were dwelt
upon at length.
The writers of the Bible were mistaken
about astronomy and geometry, the Bible
is not merciful and there Is not word in
Genesis calculated to develop heart or
brain, were some of the points emphasized.
Ecclesiastes is the most thoughtful
book, and was written by an agnostic, he
claimed.
The New Testament was worse than the
Old, he said; the four gospels did not
agree, and the philosophy OF Christ is inn
perfect.
"The treasures of the heart and brain :
these are the sacred Scriptures of the
human race" said the lecturer in closing.

In the "annual railwv- record :"
published from the German ministry
OF public works and transmitted to the
state department by United States Consul
Morris at Ghent. The statistics are
based on facts existing at the end of
1892, and present other features OF
interest than those above noted. For
instance, they show that all OF the rail-
ways OF the world aggregate 4O6,34sA
miles i'm length; rather more than
long enough to girdle the earth 16
times. OF foreign nations Germany
has the greatest mileage, 27,451, with
France second-24, ,014-and Spain least of
all with 6769 miles. For every 10000
Inhabitants in the United States
there are 25.12 miles OF railroad, while in
Europe the proportion falls to 4.22 miles
per 10000 inhabitants. With our ex-
panse of country we have 4913 miles
of road per 100 square miles, while
in densely settled Europe the mileage is
but 3S29 per 100 square miles. The worlds
railways cost the enormous sum OF thirty
three and half billion dollars,
or an average of s12l ,28O.ss per mile.
The cheapest roads are in Australia, where
in the western portion the prices were as
low as s21, ,733 per mile. The road in the
United States cost ten and a third billion
