Anything But Nice.
New York Herald.

From the New York herald.
He came home very, very drunk.
1t was not an unusul state for him
to be in, and so his wife paid no
attention to him. He sat down be-
side the table and sOlemnly unfold
ed newspaper. He held it in a
pair of trem bling hands and tried
to read. He thought he was read
ing. She knew he wasn't.
He laid the paper down, and,
leaning back in his chair, gazed
steadily at the gas jet, while his
feet shuf1ied nervOusly on the car
pet. He moved uneasily in his
chair and his hands began to work
convulsively.
These were very familiar symp-
toms to the timid little woman
who sat on the other side of the
table clasping her hands until the
nails sunk deep into the flesh. 1t
was trying moment for her. She
was alone with him. There was
not another soul in the house.
His mood might become dan
gerous one-he might, in his fren-
zy, become homicidal. She Won
dered who would hear her if she
screamed. Suppose he should sud-
denly reach for that big knife which
lay on the sideboard and
A SILVER ran through her.
AS he twisted and twisted in his
chair she softly rose and walked to
where the knife lay. She Pitched it
up stealthily and hid it beneath
her apron. Then, when chance
offered itself, she slipped it under
the edge of the rug.
Then he jumped to his feet Wild
ly.
She tries to soothe him.
"What is it, John? Don't you
feel well?"
He glared wildly at her across
the table.
owe got 'em again." he said.
She drew back affrighted. and
he started to walk around the
table. He walked to where she
sat.
owe got 'em again, say"
She looked up at him. Then she
spoke as calmly as she could
$50 l see. But this time l hope
you will have monkeys or snakes
or some other sort of interesting
menagerie animals. Those mice
you had last time made me so
nervous 1 could hardly sleep"
He looked at her in dazed way.
Then he walked over to the couch,
laid down, and in sixty seconds
was asleep. She picked up the book
she had closed when he came in.

AN ALDERMAN TALKS.
And Makes Cogent Argument
Against Public Kickers.


"People" says an Alderman to a
LIGHT man, "seem to think that all
an alderman has to do is to intro
duce a resolution in the city coun-
Gil, get it adopted and then what
they desire is accomplished, but
this is great mistake and is why
an alderman gets most anathema-
tised and gains even a personal
enemy. 1t must not be forgotten
that each alderman has equal
rights and if the public will only
note the amount Of work ordered
they will see, that if executed, it
would cost the city hundreds of
thousands of dollars which it has
not the money to pay for. 1t is the
province of the chief executive to
know what money is available for
public improvement, then select
the most urgent and important
matters and have the same eXecut-
ed. OF course, he too, comes in for
his share of cursing, but all he can
do is to act on business principles
to the best interests OF the city. |
tell you the office of alderman is a
most unthankful one. The salary
does not pay even day wages of a
workman, if you include commit
tee work, that is gratuitous, and
nearly, if not all the salary, is paid
in election expenses and deficit is
frequently created by conviviality
on the outside. Yet for all this
some kick at what he does, others
at what he don't do, and all the
time he has an army of kickers at
his coat tail. All an alderman can
do, as try to do, is to do right, be
sure Pm right, and then go ahead,
and this, l believe, is the only
course for an alderman to pursue"

ses, what relief? Oh, shame to
tell it-further depletion by re-
ducing the national revenues from
$40, 100000 to $1O0,0OO,O0O per an
mum. To be made up how? By
an issue of bonds in time of peace !;
by laying on the backs of the
American people, now of all times
least able to bear them, direct
taxes, never heretofore in all our
experience sought to be justified
save in time of war;"
If this is Democratic comment
by a Democratic congressman up
on a Democratic measure, what
would a protection Republican
say?

UNDER PROTEST.
Chemical Works Object to
the Tax Assessment.

The Rumford Chemical Works have
paid, under protest, tax assessed by the
town Of East Providence, and will bring q
claim against the town to recover the
amount illegally assessed, which il is un-
derstood is e large portion OF the whole
tax.
Mr.. Arnold, the treasurer and general
manager, says: every year since its in
corporation In the State the R1mford
Chemical Works have been overtsxed by
the town OF East Providence, but tho
amount of the overtaxstion in the past
not being very large sum we preferred to
submit rather than TO have any quarrel
with the town.
"Wo expect 70 pay our full share OF the
towns expenses and have always done so,
but we DO not propose to submit quietly
TO such gross injustice and imposition as
hss been attempted by the assessment for
the present year.
"It r. difficult TO conceive the motive
that induced the assessors to make an as
sessments so unwsrrsnted by Law or equity,
thereby giving 10 the town the widespread
uneviable notoriety that has resulted
from their action, ard it is even
more difficult to understand their ap-
parent ignorance of the statutes under
which they were supposed TO be acting.
No better plan could have been adopted
10 retard the growth OF the town than
that pursued by the assesEors."

RETAIL JEWELLERS TO MEET.

This evening at Dorrance Hotel, at 7:45
o'clock, will occur the meeting OF the
retail jewelry trade. Tho promoters state
that the object of these organizations is
not TO wage war upon any set of manufac.
tnfers, but Where trade abuses
exist to endoavor to correct the
same through meetings of the two
parties interested. 1t is not intended
there should be antagonism. The retail
trade believe that, through organization,
q better spirit will exist between the two
branches OF trade and will prove of bene-
fit to each.
MIR. Newton Dexter wishes The NEWS
to say that the name of IL. q. Whittier ~
Sons upon the circular for the call for the
meeting was mistake of his; that he had
gotten the names of this firm and that of
HerbertS. Tanner confounded and hence
the error.

His long twisting punts are almost impos-
sibleto catch, while few teams canhold firm
when he bucks the line in his hard and
low manner. Oil OF Cornell is his only
equal as fullback among the lesser coll
leses. Age p, height feet 10 inches, and
weight OF 154.
Chase and Mains, substitute ends, are
both good players, but rather light. Locke,
subtackle, Is Q steady player, bat
lacks experience. Lancey, sub guard and
center, Is often used and doesn't stand
much "jollying." Fultz, owen, Shead
and Watson as substitute backs are fre-
quently played and always put up game
worthy OF praire. The spirited charging
Of Fultz and the gritty dodging runs OF
Owen have brought in many touchdowns.
The summary Of the autum's work
would not be completed without giving
credit TO Norton for his faithful coaching.
Norton played at one time on the Yale
team and has since coached the Dart
mouth team and the Leland Stamford
eleven.
His coaching Ia net in the least of an
effeminate style from the side lines, but
he puts on his football toRs and
gets right into the game. On the
whole, Brown supporters feel very well
satisfied with the team and its work.
Next year looms up full of promise, as all
the old men will be hack with the bene-
fit of this years varied and valued expert
ence.
