The GREATER PROVIDENCE.

Already the increased population in
Providence and vicinity has attracted
public attention. The state census
shows the tendency of population to
group itself about the cities and larger
towns. Providence within the last five
years has gained something like $4,000,
while Pawtucket has gained about 5000.
It has been said that eventually the
several cities and towns adjacent to
Providence and within radius Of ten
miles, practically one community, will
consolidate and unite under q single
municipality. There is no natural
boundary between any Of them. The
electric roads connect and run every
where within this territory and no doubt
within a few years the city OF Provi-
dence will absorb them all. With the
present population of Providence 150,-
600, Pawtucket $4,000, Central Falls
$1,000, Cranston 12, 900, Johnston 1000,
East Providence 10000, Lincoln and
other towns within the ten-mile radius
enough more to swell the aggregate to
3O0, 1000 inhabitants, occupying one con-
tinuous area, the natural course OF
events will inevitably follow, and Prov
idence will gradually assume the posi-
tion she is destined to fill as one OF
the largest and richest cities in the
United States.

CHURCH MEMBERS CLAP HANDS.

His Sunday Sermon.


When Sam Jones Talks on Prohibition ia
His Sunday Sermon.
Rev. Sam Jones occupied the pulpit
of the First Methodist church yesterday
and the big church could not hold all
the people that crowded to hear the
great preacher. There were at least 2, :
900 people present and the brilliant
southern pulpit orator took the oppor-
tunity of giving them a gentle Gliding
because they did not attend his lecture
the night before. "Of course" said he,
"the reason you did not go out to hear me
last night was because it was Saturday
night; the half dollar did not
have single thing to do
with it, know it didn't. If you had gone
to the lecture you could have found
seats, but l know the half dollar had
nothing to do with keeping you away;
no, of course not" This was said with a
light irony which was appreciated.
Only once during the sermon did the
preacher speak of local matters and that
was on the liquor question and the con-
gregation forgot where it was and re-
sponded with generous applause. 81 like

Ida B. Wells was here last week, Mr.

the white women are equally guilty"

and calmly, "if she said that, she lied,

not one white man would raise his hand
to defend her, an All reckon not to pun

they confess We had just one case in
my county in recent years. The niger

several days, and it was fair, but he was
found guilty and hung. There wasn't

Mr.. Jones asked particularly about
'Sister Lease" and was glad to hear that
generally sD0akinp she was on top, He
said:
"The trouble with Sister Lease two
