Ash Carting.

To the Honorable the City Council of the City
of Providence:
The undersigned respectfully rep
resent that occupants of houses
arc (sometimes) obliged to hire
comparatively irresponsible men to
cart ashes from their premises. which is
not only expensive, but great tempta-
tion for the truckmen TO dump microbes
and cholera germs in by paths and hidden
places, doing great damage.
That health and economy would be bet
ter promoted II the city performed such
carting to more desirable dumping points,
as Is the practice in other cities.
They therefore petition your honorable
body To provide Tor carting such rubbish
TO proper places OF deposit.

tion Tor reinstatement OF the case. The
cause is petition for divorce brought by

pending or had been granted until few
days ago. Tne service was made by
Deputy McCusker who on the stand testi-
fled as to the matter. Attorney G.. j. West
appeared for the plaintiff, stating that he
was perfectly willing that the case should
be reopened il 1t was conceded that the
officer had made the service which the
defendant denied, as nc considered the

company of actors in the senate of the
United States to-day. Yet the words
could appropriately be applied to Chand-
Ter and the rest who are making exhibit

the country waits impatiently and in

tariff drama.
1t is now said that after a great deal
of backing and filling the subcommittee
Of the Finance Committee has fallen
back on the Wilson bill substantially in
the shape in which 1t passed the House.
Coal and iron ore are said TO be still
lef. where they ought TO be, on the

likely to be proposed on sugar.
Well. why does not the Committee so
report the bill? Why does It not get il

the hlibustering may he the sooner

AN AT RIO.

A singular incident In Rio Bay has
again drawn attention to the commander
Of the United States squadron at that
point.
An English merchant vessel In the bay
needed a supply of fresh water. The insur-
gents refused to allow a Waterfront to
10 alongside the thirsty ship. The cap
tain of the latter applied to the British
commander for aid and protection, and
for some ~unaccountable reason his re-
quest was refused. Thereupon he ap-
pealed to Admiral Benham, who re-
sponded by taking the Waterfront under
his wing. hosting the well-known Stars
and Stripes over her, and procuring for
the British captain the needed supply.
OF course. the rebels refrained from fir
ing on the water-boat, as they had
threatened to do. They know Benham
at Rio.
1t Ia a novel experience to find an Eng
lish naval oficer and an English war
ship refusing protection to an English
man In trouble. under any circumstances
II Great Britain and her representatives
are famous for any one thing, 1t is for
protecting the subjects of the good old
lady, Queen Victoria. But in this case
the British commander did not follow the
National rule, and Admiral Benham
again came into requisition.

plainly that 1t is to educate children Of

not mean to support every Tom, Dick

are too poor TO encourage their talents.
Mr.. Pickel only asks that each bachelor
pay 81 per year, which l am sure every
man, married or single, should be will
ing to pay. Any one who would refuse
to contribute to such a good cause
shohld burn with shame. II you would
make a careful canvass you would find
that those who oppose 1t are ignorant,
selfish people. Those who want the
