Everett, Mass, is evidently not a
good town for the dwelling place of
those of the Seventh Day faith-who,
here in Rhode Island, comprise a goodly
proportion of our most esteemed fellow
citizens, whose faith may be expressed

laws, based on the principles of real, as
well as nominal, religious liberty estab-
lished by ROGER WILLIAMS. Mr. w.
4. GIBSON, Seventh Day Adventist of
Everett, was arrested for keeping his
store open on Sunday, a spotter, who
purchased half pound of candy at Mr..
GIBsoN's store, being the chief prosecu-
ting witness. The prisoner pleaded his
own cause, and, while the court imposed
fine of fifty dollars and costs, His
Honor remarked that he would not at
tempt to defend his decision, except TO
cite the precedent of higher court.
Mr.. GIBSON has appealed.

tions for the benefit of womaukind this

Our esteemed world-jaunting friend
Lady HENRY SOMERSET, and Miss FRAN
cEs 4. WILLARD are billed to appear in

would be thought that this attraction

when all the theaters are open TO them
If they do not care to go to Infantry
Hall.
But no. Lady Hurry and Miss

with dismay, we should suppose. No one

able The desert is too big TO make

Seventy thousand dollars to build

Seventy thousand dollars to replace
bnilding that cost less than forty thou

that pricel
That sounds preposterous. We believe
it is preposterous. Yet that is the
proposition of resolution put into the
Senate yesterday. The resolution is re-
ferred 70 the finance committee. We
hope the finance committee will give it
consideration that its enormity demands.
The State is rich, but it can't afford to
throw money away in $4,000 chunks
without being sure that it is thrown on
very fertile soil. We hope the finance
committee of the Senate will give a
hearing on this matter. 1t is certainly
important enough. We don't know how
much opposition the hearing would
draw out, because, unfortunately, the
orally are informed on, or that in the
past they have shown disposition to
concern themselves about But we
would like to hear what the pushers of
the appropriation have to urge why
$40. 1000 should be expended for single
building for the State Agricultural
School-the Rhode Island College of
Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, an
institution that has on its rolls 102
pupils, and which, by reason Of its iso-
lated and inconyenient location and its
deficiencies, can never hope to figure as
an institution OF Importance beyond the
limits Of narrow horizon.
Why it should cost twice as much to
rebuild the burned-down dormitory as
the original dormitory cost, we don't
understand. The foundation of the
old dormitory still stands il new one
is TO be built after the same plan. And
we can't conceive of any reason for
larger or more sumptuous building than
the old dormitory. Weunderstand that
the students of the school will do the
building-as they did, we believe, on the
original structure. Apparently it woeld
be cheaper to let some contractor take
the job-if it is to cost $4,000.
We would very much like to know
the reasons for expending this tremen-
dous sum for any such purpose. We
trust that the finance committee will
take pains to have these reasons clearly
set forth to the Senate and 10 the pub
lie. We shall endeavor, on our part, to
have the public acquire all the informa-
tion that can be cleaned on the subject
and will cheerfully give space to any
arguments for the expenditure of this
seventy thousand. We confess that we
are inclined TO protest -ss.rongly against
this appropriation and can conceive of
no reason for it. We are open to con-
viction, however, and stand ready TO ac-
knowledge conviction. At all events,
we think the public ought to understand
the matter thoroughly, and we have no
doubt the finance committee of the
Senate and the promoters of the resolu-
ton feel that way about it, too.
We await further information.

DISTRICT COURT WIT.

We took occasion, yesterday, to refer
to the sport some of the attorneys-at-law
indulge in at the expense of the police
men who are called as witnesses in
minor cases in the Sixth District Court.
Here are couple OF samples of the
peurile wit that the policemen are made
the victims of:
1t was the case of a woman who was
before the court on the charge of street
walking.
The policeman who was on the stand
testified to the strolls of the unfortunate
woman. He was duly cross-examined
by counsel for the defense who wanted
to know why the arrest was not more
promptly made. The policeman ex-
planned that he had TO wait for another
officer so that his testimony might be
endorsed by second witness. Then,
in describing the actions of the woman,
which brought her under the notice of
the law, the policeman testified that he
had observed her putting up" II a
number of men.
'Did she put up to your" demanded
the attorney Of the policeman-witness.
"Sne did not" replied the witness.
"Why didn't she--didn't you give her
a chance?p
81 am not that kind of a man. re-
Piled the officer with some warmth.
"Oh! You aren't, aren't your" re-
sposded the attorney. sarcastically. And
the examination closed, while compla-
cent grin at his own brilliancy remained
on the attorneys face.
The-other day, Captain JosEPH MARS
ToN OF the Fourth Station, was on the
stand in a liquor case There had been
some spotter testimony put in and then
the captain was put on the stand aud
gave his evidence.
Were the spoilers sober2" inquired
counsel for defense when hecaptain had
concluded.
"They were" answered the captain.
Z" And were you sober, toog" demand
ed the attorney with n four-py grin at
the humor Of the questionable real wit
of which may he appreciated by those
that know that Captain MAHsroS is a
temperauce man TO the point Of strict
prohibition.

liant slips OF the law for their humorous
teasing Of the officers, though, we. believe,
