No amount of Juggling with figures
can overcome the plain fact that the
credit of the city of Providence is high,
and that its bonds command premium
above those of almost any other mu-
nicipality in the country. That is the
best evidence that the city government
has not been extravagant in its expendi-
lures.

ATTRACTIVE costufnln4 does so much for mag
raj charms of face and figure, that there will
ways be a demand for the very best of
rerything that goes to make attractive cos
lines.
At LADD'S they make a spe-
cialty Of these very best
things, and these best styles
and leading fabrics are ahead
of any competition.
This applies to POPULAR
priced goods as well as to the
most elegant fabrics. Every
thing at LADD'S is the best.
Much of it cannot be bought
elsewhere at any price. These
facts are important nOw-a-
days, where there is such an
abundance of ordinary and
commonplace things, and to
be well dressed depends upon
distinction and novelty.
Price has little to do with it.
The inexpensive things may
be as nice, as novel, as full of
character as the more ele-
giant. Ii is all a question of
selection. LADD'S selections
are all choice-the best. And
You make n mistake it you
think, because they have the
most reliable and best goods
at LADD'S, prices are high.
Loads of goods at popular
prices-lOvcly dress fabrics
from IL 1-2 cts. 10 80 cts.

RUINED FOR YEARS.
The Recent Frost an Awful Blow to

The Recent Frost an Awful Blow to
Florida Orange Growers.
10 fully appreciate the damage lone by
the recent frost in the Florida orange
belt a Jacksonville correspondent says
that a personal inspection of the groves
IN necessary. Dealers in the North cam
rot realize the extent of the damage, else
q would not be sending, as they are.
orders for supplies. The crop is practic-
ally ruined. Some fruit is being shipped
North, but 1t 10 nearly all touched By the
frost. 1 have been pretty much all over
the orange-growing parts Of the State
since the frost, and have yet to see the
first grove that does not look DIS If It had
been parched by a fire. The leaves on
the trees are sere and yellow. An orange
grove can easily be picked out from q
long distance. The live oaks, palmetto.
cabbage. palm and other such trees do
not seem to have been affected. As they
morally surround more or less the or
..-se groves, the yellow leaves of the lat
ter, in comparison with the green of the
others, make a striking contrast. In many
of these groves few oranges had been
picked. In others nearly all. The total
crop was estimated by experts at 5,OOO.-
COO boxes. half of which had been gath
cred before the frost. The average price
of these oranges to the consumers was So
a box. This would make IL loss of So, OOO,-
COO on the 2,OO0,OOO boxes that have been
spoiled by the frost. One-half of this
loss falls on the growers, the other half
on the dealers and the transportation
companies. I have met u number of grow
ers who offered to sell the fruit on the
trees at five cents a box. But they were
unable to sell ven ut that rate.
The $5,OOO,OOO loss on oranges is by
no means all. The young trees and many
of the old ones have been killed. How
great the loss will be in this respect will
not be known until spring. H. s. Kidney,
an old resident of Maitland, says that he
does not believe that more than one-third
of the orange trees of the State will come
out of the freeze alive. It will be possible
to save time. he thinks. by cutting them
to the ground and letting them sprout
from the roots. But he expresses the be-
lief that the budded trees of the finer va
rieties are killed to the ground. As to,
lines and lemons. he says that he does
not believe that there are any live trees:
left. The pineapple plants in the south
ern part Of the State are also gone, To-;
matoes and other vegetables which are
raised In large quantities for the early
Northern markets IRE also killed.

GENIUS AND

Jurieu, the biblical student, became
crazy from studying the apocalypse.
He fancied that the ten-horned beast
was inside Of him.
Lamartine was OF an exceedingly
gloomy temperament, and during his
spells Of detection nothing could in the
least raise his spirits.
Cowper's madness Is well known.
Once he tried to hang himself, and at
another time endeavored to commit sui
eide by drowning himself.
Both Charles and Mary Lamb were
dwellers In the borderland of madness.
The latter was frequently placed in an
asylum, the former but once.
Masaniella became crazed by the sue.
cess Of the revolution .of 1647 in Ma
pies. He gave many symptoms Of In
sanity before he was assassinated.
Descartes was the victim Of auditory,
ha%llucinations. They always came
when he vas greatly fatigued, and he
regarded them as q sign to cease work.
Byron was believed by some Of his
contemporaries to be mentally unbal-i
anced, and his career Of strange wick
edness gave much color to the suppose
ton.
Robert Burns never was well bal
anced. His excuses were wild in their
extravaganza and were generally fol-
lowed by spasms of repentance and
melancholy.

the German Government, but the pro-
tests were UNDECIDED and a court marital,
sitting In private, tried and found ORGY
fus guilty. He was sentenced to be de-
graded from all military rank and hon
ors and to be confined for life in a fort
ress.
The sentence was carried out ON the
parade ground of the Ecole Militaire in
the presence of 5000 troops and numer-
Gus civil officials and journalists. Drey.
fus was taken before Gen. Darras and
other officials in the center of the square,
Where the verdict of the court martial
was read to him. Gen. Darras then adj
dressed him: "Dreyfus, you IRE UNI
worthy to carry arms. In the name of
the people of France we degrade you.'
An officer then approached, took Drey.
fus' sword and breaking it cast it ON the
ground. He then cut the buttons and in
sigma of rank from the uniform of the
condemned man. Dreyfus cried out.
"Nive Ia France" and protested that he
was innocent. His voice was drowned by
a roar from the crowd, 10000 strong, in
the Place de FOntenoy, shouting 'Denth
to the traitor" and by an outburst from
the officers of the reserve. crying, "si-
lence, traitor"
After being stripped of the insignia of
his rank the unfortunate man walked
arouna each side of the square which was
lined with soldiers. The latter exhibited
deep emotion and many of them wept.
After the march, amid cries of death to
the traitor" Dreyfus was taken to the
barrack gate and given over to the civil
authorities for imprisonment in some
fortress. The degradation produced a
profound excitement in Paris, and, in.
deed, in oil France.
