That is the income Of William w. Astor
and doubtless there are good many peo-
pie in the city OF Providence who would
be willing to take four days income and
forever after hold their peace In regard to
money. Take the round figures $4,000.
You get up in the morning and eat
your breakfast. After it 10 finished
just credit yourself with $1,000. About 1
o'clock you feel hungry and you take
lunch. When that is over you have
made $1,000 more. The day wears on--let

The Scholfield Commercial College, the
Oldest establishment of the kind in New

That is next week. Book keeping, type
writing, shorthand, the higher and lower
branches OF study are individually taught
the student by competent aids to the
venerable principal, Mr.. A. q. Scholfield.
Experience is worth something in this
world, and experience has made il
apparent that the methods employed
at this institution are Of character to inn
part knowlege to those who make appli-
cation for 1t. In 1865 was pupil of Mr..
Scholfield's. attended the school about
two years. prepared myself to enter
Brown University but circumstances
placed me at bookkeeper's desk over in
hardware store on Wey bosset street.
But that does not matter. Mr..
Scholfield does not claim, nor would he
care for me to say that he has the largest
school in the East. What he does claim,
however, is that he fits young men and
women for business and gives them value
received for the money invested. Read
his catalogue. 1t will give you some
valued information.
A living picture.
Standing on the corner OF the street
with a babe in her arms. Upon her head
wretched shawl, clean but old and rag
ged. A face which had unmistakable
traces of beauty. Possibly thirty years of
age. Alone, among strangers. Put off
the train by the conductor while he
whom she called husband remains on the
cars and laughs in derision as he notes her
tears and anguish. A passing policeman
stops ana hears her story and directs her
to the Charity Building.

James j. and Chas. G. Corbett met in
the Union depot last Saturday and shook
hands. Later they met at the Narragan-
sett. James j. ordered AN Apollinaris

called for ginger ale. James J. informed
Chas. 9. that it cost him $4,000 to train for
his knock down argument with Sir Charles
Mite caell OF England. lie paid the bills
for 16 persons and kept open house for his
friends for several weeks. The wages OF
the cooks and servants were Of course
included.
Then James j. spoke about
colorcd gentleman named jackson,
and gave it as his opinion
that his fighting days were over while
Charles &. listened and heard the addi-
tional remark, "But i may be mistaken
at that" An opinion about Zin-zil-za-
bud or the Rhode Island State Fair would
have been out of order, but one thing
which Charles q. noticed that James j.
referred to with a self satisfied air was
that he should not think OF defending his
title until next year, and a. he had a suf-
ficicncy OF this worlds pelf he might re-
tFe.
Another thing Charles Q. noticed was
that when the waiter gave James J. his
change there was no tip, and just from
England at that.
James j. impressed Chas G. with being
