has been carted away and before many
months have passed new buildings will
occupy the place that was once so popular
among the young people of Providence.
There is no question but that one
prisoner at the Police Court deserved his
fine of e and costs this morning. At 7:3O
o'clock last evening, when the storm was
at its hardest, the man stood at the corner
OF Westminster street and Baker avenue
and leaning against the fence he
slept the sleep of weary man
all unmindful of the snow that was fall
ing and the wind that was blowing. The
policeman who appeared, however, ques-
toned his right to make lodging room
of the street corner and he was provided
with shelter for the night.
The readers of sensational papers who
are acquainted with the stories of the
splendor of opium joints, should visit the
local laundries with the revenue officials.
They would find bare, barren rooms, fur
nished with common wooden tables and
chairs, and those who occupy the hunks
lie on the soft sides of the boards and rest
their heads upon block of wood. III
there are any opium joints in Providence,
splendor ia conspicuous by its absence,
and it is to be supposed that those who
shit the pipe" in this city avail them
selves of the advantages that are offered
and let the "dope" do the rest.
This morning at $3.50 o'clock the Gus
toners and clerks in the Providence
Public Market were startled by a report,
followed by a big puff of smoke
shot out from the top of window inside
the market. The smoke filled the air in
the vicinity for at least 20 feet, and
the flames were very threatening for
moment and then all was
over. Two fuses had burned out on the
electric light wires, and no damage was
done, but it was striking illustration
of the way in which mysterious fires might
originate and also demonstrated the aw-
full danger there is in the harmless looking
wires running into buildings.
A sidewalk shoveller rang the bell in a
house on Knight street this morning and
applied for work. He was told to shovel
from gate to gate. When he
again appeared he bad shovelled
path clear around the house from one
gate TO the other. He was paid and went
off. The man of the house when he went
to the front door to go down town was
amazed to see that no path had been
shoyelled The man who wanted to shovel
the sidewalk had not touched the sidewalk
but had gone to the trouble
of shovelling around the house
in the back yard. Soon the first shoveler's
'pard" came along and wanted to shovel,
but the householder had a shovel in his
hand and was doing his own work.

He is member of Lander Post of Lynn,
Mass, the second In membership in the

Nothing has been too good for Jack
Adams, and Jack in turn has met the ex-
pectations of his supporters as postmaster
at Lynn and deputy superintendent of the
Concord (Mass.) reformatory. He now
holds the position OF sergeant-at-armso OF
the commonwealth OF Massachusetts,.
Last year his ardent friends presented his
name to the Republican convention for
the cannidacy for lieutenant governor,
and without canvass or organization his
name called out large vote. He was 52
years old in October.

My Summer Girl.

We met, one day upon the sand,
told her OF my love,
In words that lovers understand,
That logic could not prove:
And when she softly whispered "yes,"
My soul was lifted. high
Into the realm OF happiness
That reaches to the sky.
We met today, upon the street,
We passed wi thout a word.
We met as other people meet.
And neither heart was stirred;
No word OF hers has doomed my life,
have not been churl,-
knew she could rot be my wife.

MORE DEMURRERs FILED.

Sugar Rarons Hayemeyer and Searles
Seek TO Prove indictments Are Bad.
Henry o. Havemeyer and John E. searles,
of the American Sugar Refining Company,
which is generally believed to control the
American sugar market, and A. L. Seymour,
a New York broker, yesterday filed demurrers
TO the indictments against them for falling to
answer questions when before the Senate
committee appointed to investigate the opera
tions of the refining company in controlling
tariff legislation in the last session of Con-
gress.
Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson, as attorney for
Messrs. Hayemeyer and Searles, will try TO
show that for them to answer the questions
asked might disgrace them and render them
infamous, as we'll as subject them to criminal
prosecution. He will show also that the
questions were not asked by the committee
or by its authority, but by William Y. Allen.
Mr.. Wilson will try to show that if they
should answer the questions there is nothing
to protect tuem from prosecution under some
State jurisdiction upon the claim that they
have improperly contributed to campaign
funds
There are many other grounds of objections
to the indictment very much the same as those
set forth in the cases of Mcssrs. Chapman and
Mccartney now pending before the court of
appea.s. These include the objections under
the fourth and fifth amendments and other
parts OF the Constitution of the United States.

CROWDS TOOK PURE FOOD.
Success Perches on the Banners of tn,
Convention Hall Exposition

Packed TO suffocation was the immense
hall over the Old Market last night, the final
night of the grand food exposition. 1t took
at least fifteen inmates tc work ones way
from one end of the hall to the other so dense
was the throng in every aisle.
Every succeeding night the crowd has been
greater than the night preceding, and the
crowd last night was fitting climax TO the
whole. The universal verdict of all who
have visited the exposition is that it is the
most satisfactory and the best that ever vis-
tied Washington.
The management of the exposition has been
IN the hands of local men throughout, who
have by their enthusiasm, pluck. energy, and
determination to make everybody have good
time, far exceeded their most sanguine ex-
pectations. Hundreds of pounds of samples
were distributed from all sides. The famous
Cavalry Band from Fort Myer, which has for
the past week furnished music for the exposi-
ton, have made themselves solid with the
public.
Mr.. H. S. Barber and Mr. Burdette. who
have engineered the exposition from begin
ming 10 end. deserve credit for conducting
the first really successful food exposition ever
held in Washington, and many and loud were
the congratulations showered upon them last
evening by host of admiring friends.

TEN CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.
Probably Not More Than This viii Be
Received by Beneficial Endowment
ASSociafior, poIicv.hoIdar1

Probably Not More Than This VIII Be
Received by Beneficial Endowment
Association PoIicy-holders.
The building of the Washington Beneficial
Endowment Association, No. 419 Tenth
street northwest and all other assets are to
be sold by the receivers, II. NJ. Fields and A.
A. Lipscomb, at such time and place as they
deem proper. This is the order signed by
Judge Cox yesterday.
The building. according to the late presi-
| dent of the association, Lawrence Gardner
| is worth 1885, 900. The other assets are in
considerable. The proceeds Of the sale will
be held by the receivers till all interested have
been heard.
| There are judgments and death claims suff1-
cient to exhaust nearly all the assets. so that
policy-holders at best will probably receive
less than 10 cents on the dollar
But the suit brought by President Gardner
to appul the transfer OF the property to the
| Commercial Alliance Life Insurance Com
pany, OF New York, has not yet been decided.
| 1t was yesterday consolidated with that
| brought by Robert Ball and others against
the Washington Beneficial Endowment Asso-
| citation and all issues will be settled together.
1t is understood that the Commercial ALI
ance receiver IN New York will claim that his
| company paid its S13 900 and more of hard
cash not for the stock OF President Lawrence
Gardner, John JOY Edison, and other promi
nent Washington gentlemen, but for the hand
some three-story brick Office building No. 419
| Tenth street northwest, where the Legion OF
Loyal Women, Sons OF Veterans. and others
are tenants, and for the substantial two-story
brick stable on the same premises. He does
not ask what Mr.. Gardner and others did with
| the money. He only asks that the assets con-
! trolled by the stock purchased by his COM
pany shall be held or sold for the benefit of
its creditors.
In case the Commercial Alliance claim is
sustained it will depend upon the relation Of
claims to assets IN the wind up OF that COM
paDy what judgment creditors, death bene-
ficiaries, and poicy-holders of the Washing
ton Beneficial Endowment Association will
get. The stockholders have already received
$50 share for their stock. So far as heard
from the Commercial Alliance assets are in
even smaller ratio to liabilities than are the
Washington Association assets to liabilities.

A group Of interested men gathered at the

sequence OF an announcement that four
races would be run Of. Only one book

EDITOR TIMES: 1t seems that through the
active work of the police department the DIS
trict has at last been ridded of the bunco
steerer. the policy dens. and the pool rooms.
1t now appears to me that 1t is about tine to
turn to a worse evil, the bucket shops that
we meet on every hand in the city, and which
do business with wide-open doors without
being moiested by any one.
Lam speeulator myself invest In bonds
and stocks in legitimate way, as would
exchange dollar bill for two 5O-cent pieces.
But these bucket-shop people do their busi-
ness upon the lottery plan. only that when
man buys a lottery ticket or plays game OF
poker ne has even chances. whils when fool
ing with the bucket shops he is at the mercy
of lot of legal thieves.
There are honest stockholders in this city,
and some that are only branches Of their New
York principals. These are. OF course, legit-
innate. but if there is any law the bucket shops
should be run out of town, and the sooner the
better for our people.
Let The TIsIEs take this matter up. It is
the peoples paper and should echo the peo-
ple's cry of ''out with the bucket shops"
