A POLICE PARALLEL.

The joke was on the Providence police
when the CoMsTocK robbery occurred a
biscuits throw from the Central Police
Station. Now the Brooklyn police know
how it is themselves. Early Saturday
morning pair of burglars cracked safe
and secured $300-by the way, that was
about the CoMsTocK loss-within pistol
shot of the De Kalb avenue police sta
tion. The police learned of the break
when tbey were " notified"
The Brooklyn situation parallels that
recently experienced in Providence, in
that this safe cracking was one of three
cases of the kind that occurred in the
City of Churches within week. The
other two were the break at the Ma
tional Banking Company. the safe being
blown open and $500 secured; and at a
store where $500 were stolen. 1t will be
recalled that here in Providence we had
three of these interesting occurrences in
quick succession, beginning with. the
CoMsToCK break.
The police have captured two men
whom they suspect of being of gang
that accomplished all the breaks.
The two suspects are known to be ex-
pert cracksmen aud are known In many
cities, in some of which they may be
wanted for safe-breaking or postoffice
thieving.
1t is not impossible that they may
know something about the expert work
that some of their kind performed in
Providence.

THE BALTIC CANAL.

In June next, the Emperor of Germany
is to open the great Baltic and North
Sea ship-canal. The occasion will be
one of imposing ceremony and will be
followed by week of festivity. The
nations of the world will be represented
in the harbor of Kiel by ships of their
respective navies.
The Baltic Canal is the biggest piece
of engineering that has been completed
since the Suez Canal, which was finished
in 1869. 1t has taken eight years in the
building and will have cost $37, ,440, 600
both time and cost, it is worthy of note,
being according to the original esti-
mates.
The course of the canal is from Kiel,
on the Baltic, across the Prussian
province Of Holstein to point on the
Elbe near Brunsbuttel, just below Ham
burg and not far from where the Elbe
empties into the North Sea--cutting
through the most northern part of the
German Empire. by its medium Ger
man men-of-war can pass from the Baltic
to the North Sea without entering for
eign waters, and Germany will be ena-
bled to concentrate fleet quickly on
either the north or west coast of the en-
pire, while the immediate commercial
value of the canal may be understood
when 1t is learned that not less than 49,
600 merchant vessels are expected to use
the canal yearly. For ships plying be-
tween the Baltic aud points south OF
Hull, the canal will save 23s miles,
Bremen ships 322 miles, and
Hamburg ships, 494 miles, while the
gain in safety is immeasurable ~ the
passage between Jutland aud the Scan
dnavian peninsula is an exceedingly
dangerous one. about 200 vessels year
being the record of loss on these coasts.
The new canal is 81 miles long, and
has a general width of about 229 feet.
n hes lock at either end.
The entire German nation is looking
forward with the greatest enthusiasm to
the opening OF the great canal. The
festivities OF celebration will begin
with banquet at Hamburg on June 10.

THE NELSON FIND.

The fund for the relief of "ToMM vi
NELSON'S widow and children grows
apace and it promises to reach the $500
mark. The larger proportion OF this
fund is to be credited to the generosity
of the Board Of Trade membership, and
particularly, perhaps, to the enter
prise of a warm hearted
and hustling member who has kept
subscription paper pretty we'll in
evidence for the past 10 days. Fifteen
hundred dollars seems goodly sum, but
after all it is little enough to help the
support of the widow and the four
little ones until they can support them
selves. The fund is to be placed
with the Rhode Island Hospital
Trust Company TO be drawn from
time to time, and in such sums as
needed, the president of the Board of
Trade having interested himself to this
end while Bishop HARKINs, who has
taken great deal of interest in the work
of relief, has warmly approved the plan
as the best that could be done.

The cities of st. Paul and Minneapolis
have renewed hostilities after long
peace between them. The new struggle
is the result of rival claims for the new
State Capitol site, and the literature
that distinguishes it is hot
headed and bitter. Minneapolis
accuses st. Paul Of being in
q condition of moral and financial bank
ruptcy, with residences and business
blocks by the wholesale to be let; that
thousands have left town for want of
employment, that city employees are un-
paid, and that everything is going to the
dogs generally. st. Paul makes general
denial of these mild charges and
declares that Minneapolis has already
acquired too many parks at the expense
of the State and under various excuses.
and that she now wants to make the
State adopt her failed-up exposition
plant for Capitol building.
And while they are contending some
other town has good chance to run off
with the bone, we should suppose.

To make money quickly seems to be the
ambition of the majority of persons. Win
money comes power, and power IN what
the average man Is seeking. 1t happens,
occasionally, that something of usefulness,
something within the reach OF the
great mass OF people, brings, in the
aggregate, a tremendous amount OF
money, and like the great industries which
are controlled by capital are never ceas-
ing source of revenue.
Instances are numerous where the very
simplest and least costly articles have
made fortunes, not always for the inventor,
it is true, but for those who had the good
fortune to have the capital TO place what
ever the article might be upon the mar
ket.

It may be of interest TO the reader to
know just how Mr.. Boland happened to
think of inventing something to stop the
smoking and fiickering of the flame, and
obviate the necessity of blowing down
the chimney with its attendant obnoxious
results. While engaged at the ii. j. Astle
Il Co., tin manufactures, with whom he
is connected, he had occasion to go down
cellar and be took lighted kerosene lamp
along. 1t didn't burn TO suit him and
finally when he came up from the cellar
he blew it out by way OF the chim-
ney. Then the thought struck him
as to the idea of making some sort of an
attachment by which the light could be
put out instantly by means of using the
same mechanism for a leverage as was
used In turning the wick up or down.
BY adding the very simple device as re-
ferred to the discovery means a fortune
for the inventor. Mr.. Boland is MEM
Der OF the United Order OF Workmen, the
Foresters aud other organizations, and
his numerous friends Will be pleased to
hear OF the bright future that is before
him, as his latest invention is sure to make
him rich and famous.
Having introduced the inventor, II
will be most appropriate TO refer TO the
gentleman who was quick to see the ad-
vantages Of the invention, and who used
his means and influence toward bringing
to a successful issue the claims made by
the inventor and securing the patent,
not only for this country, but France,
England, and Germany. Mr.. Kittredge
is resident of this city and
has been since August, 1898.
Since his residence here he has come in
contact and done business with many Of
our leading citizens who have had cause
TO congratulate themselves for the oppor-
tunlties offered of making investments

makes specially. a branch Office OF

to be such a source OF extensive revenue
