The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-05-08

| old days there was no pompadour hair
| cuts, no hot towels and moustache curl
| ing ex~ept il was paid for extra. You
| could shave four men where you shave
| one now, and am not so sure but that
| a cigar and a shine will be thrown in yet,
the way the business is going.
The above argument bears out what was
said in this column some time since in re-
gard TO competition. 1t keeps things
moving, and the people generally receive
the benefits.
The way to buy land is get it right,
| somewhere in or out of-the- city. The
nearer your land is to the center of the
town the better. For instance land
near Market Square is better to own
than land in Seekonk. IL you want
suburban property look over the lots of
the Pawtuxet- by-the-Sea plat. For few
hundred dollars you can obtain some
thing, and own something which will
grow in value. When you get ready to
build you have got . garden spot. A. L.
Andrews, 81 Westminster street, will give
you full particulars.
Queen Victoria's coachman wears a wig
which has eight curls, W hile the coachman
of the Prince OF Wales wears but seven,
and the next in the society scale wears
six, and yet in this country a coachman
who wore a wig would lose his job.
Seldom IL ever have better line of rugs
been shown in Providence than those
now on exhibition at 10 Westminster
street by s. Il. Donchian of Hartford.
They will be offered at auction to the
highest bidder tomorrow at 10 and 3
o'clock. The sale will continue the bal
ance OF the week. Captain Edwin Draper
will ask for bids, and perusal
Of the catalogue will inform pur-
chasers, who are educated up to. it, that
the Oriental rugs are gems in their way
of exclusive designs. Everything is
guaranteed perfect in every respect.
Time keeps things moving-just one
short year makes many changes
You see man today, perchance,
and you talk with him. In a
week or ten days you pick up the paper
and you read of his death. Queer thing
that death. When you say man has
gone to Europe the chances are he is COM
ing back, but when you say he is dead,
well it's like wiping the figures off the
slate.
Wonder how many persons remember
the time when Willis Work at the peril
OF his life stopped a runaway and saved
other lives by so doing. Mr.. Work is a
sinewy, strong armed athlete, and the
very last man you pick out in a crowd
as kno wing anything about boxing or
fencing. Next Monday evening he is to
give an exhibition at Infantry Hall and
there are six and ten round set-to's on the
card. Mr.. Work will fence, and taken
altogether, a first -class program is being
prepared for the occasion.
When should man bow to another
man? When the other man bows first.
But suppose you know the man, and he
does not return it? Just cross him off the
list, and put him down as being troubled
with dyspepsia.
The evening atten lance at the Crescent
Bowling Alleys, 81 Aborn street, In the
old Natatorium Building, gives evidence
of what Mr.. Arnold may expect in the fall
and winter season.
Austin Bidwell, the famous ticket-of-
leave-ma of Bank of England finance
fame, sold five of his books "From Wall
street to Newgate" to one jewelry firm in
Attleboro. He advertises for agents in
another column.
In conversation with several business
men on Westminster street, / learned that
they deplore the contemplated strike at
Olneyville. The weekly pay roll of the
operatives amounts to $4,000, and goodly
portion of that amount found its way to
this city. IL there was anything they
could do to avert the calamity they say
they would willingly do it.
1t is fact that much more can be ac-
with kindness than with
anything else. There are some persons
who do not think SO. To be gruff in
speech and manner seems to be their idea
Of getting along. some have the same
feeling as the old Quaker when appealed
TO 10y the father of some headstrong boys.
u What shall do with them?" he asked
OF his Quaker friend. "Well," was the
reply, "thou shouldst be kind to them.
Take them up on the roof some time and
push them off,"
Wood & Watson, SO Westminster street, !
have way OF selling gents furnishings
and hats so low as to attract attention
and occasion comment. The hats, the
same quality that their competitors are
selling for $3.50, has a card marked FL so |
on them. and they are in all the lstest |
shapes and shades.
Lots OF notes in the air at Infantry Hall |
last evening.
1t was brilliant audience in more |
senses than one.
Melba sang as IL she was entitled to a
gold wreath. OLD VET.
