ONE OF yosE,s VICTIMS.

We cheerfully offer an apology to
MIR. SPENCER b. READ, who has
been recently made the victim of
reportorial delusion in the columns
of this and other newspapers in
town, because Of the free and easy twist
that Councilman GEORGE LALrPATAFF
VosE gave to Mr.. READS opinions on the
purchase Of the car barn property for
Roger Williams Park. Councilman
vosE has. recently, rapidly acquired a
equation for ground and lofty tumb-
ling associated with rare art at Juggling
with figures and pretended quotations
from authorities that are ordinarily more
creditabls than is Mr.. VosE in his wilder
moments. Mr.. READ appeared at the
meeting Of the Aldermen, Thursday,
and the ingenious newspaper men
who had heard the quotations at
tributed to him by Council
man yosE assumed prematurely
that he was present to reiterate
these assumed statements, strangely in
uocent as they were of Councilman
VosEs power Of imagination. AS a
matter of fact, Mr.. READ came TO tell
the Board that Councilman vosE had
been mistaken in his quotations.
Mr.. READ, being always courteous
gentleman, would undoubtedly have
called it mistaken. The Board, as IL
had right to do, declined to hear any
thing just then, but il they had been
disposed 20 listen Mr.. READ would have
told them something very different from
what Mr.. VosE quoted, for Mr.. READ, as
m expert authority, is Of tho opinion
that the stable alone on the property
wanted for the park is worth eco, coo to
5he city to cay nothing Of the Land.

SIR-I lost valuable cat, lost, strayed
or stolen. i advertised for it in prom
snent newspaper, but didn't get the cat
back. Then tried THE News. You
told me, as you put the cash for the
advertisement in your money drawer.
that you had no doubt the cat would
see the ad in THE News and come back
of herself. Within thirty-six hours
from the appearance of the advertise
ment the cat appeared at my window
and scratched TO come in. ] am not
prepared to say whether the cat saw the
ad herself and acted on it or whether
someone found her, picked her up and
dropped her in my yard after seeing the
ad. At any rate the eat came back and
feel grateful to The News.

WE suggest that no indignant citizen
need be prevented from staying away
from the protest meeting-no, beg par
don, consider meeting-at Infantry
Hall tonight by any fear that there won't
be seat vacant to sit in.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-05-04
ALL READY TO UNCORK!

Tonight the proposed mass meeting,
under the nominal auspices of that
heretofore valued organization, The
Union for Practical Progress, will un-
dertake to mass.
AT the risk Of according an undue
amount Of Importance to a movement
the shallowness and hap-hazardness Of
which has become SO evident since our
local contemporaries have been unable
to maintain the delusion they inaugu-
rated with such apparent success,
we beg to call attention
to the fact that the movement
begun as a hysterical protest has now
relapsed into an ordinary case OF con-
sidetation. While this will rob the
occasion Of much that would excite
pleasurable curiosity it may bring
TO it the services of gentlemen
like RATHBoNE GARDNER and f. ID.
BAssETT who will be worth listening to
and are not likely to explode by reason
vf an overcharge Of the kind of stuff the
projectors of the meeting would most
like to hear. Still we fear the efforts
of these gentlemen will seein cold if
some of the good folk whose disposi-
tons are more inclined to fireworks ora
tory get show to falkland the original
object of the meeting was, of course, to
shoot fireworks.
We have been invited now to soon
slider" the proposed extension of the
Union r abroad Company's franchise in
stead of "for the purpose of protesting
against" it. We are still assured, how
ever, that "the sentiment of
the people in this matter is
unanimous and unmistakable, ana that
''the call for halt will be emphatically
voiced" but we will consider" rather
than protest" simply because no one
whose opinion is worth anything has
been disposed to protest until he is
sure of what he is asked to protest
against. In other words, indignation
has petered out so far as the platform is
concerned, and the floor will have TO
rely upon itself to furnish it. If
any of our sensible fellow citizens
can find nothing better to
do tonight, if the standing room at the
Spielkartenfest is all sold, for instance,
we should advise them TO GO to Infantry
Hall. Though the speakers named |
above suggest that the platform utter
ances will lack in those glttering fea- |
lures that make the remarks of the |
lecturer at freak show so |
fascinating TO minds receptive to |
humor, we may hope for remarks from
others that may furnish amusement |
enough TO rep1y for the effort of attend |
ance. AT any rate the balance of the |
audience will be worth viewing
IL this burlesque demonstration"
should be taken seriously by |
any considerable number OF the
cranks and anarchists and anti-monopo-
lists and loose heads in town. 1t will
repay the effort, we are sure, 10 see
what kind of a constituency it is that
is moved by the fspdoodle Of our
esteemed contemporaries, and IL you
explain 10 the reporters that you are
only there out Of curiosity, your repu-
tation for horse sense can still be saved.

double track, 1t required that such a
track should be paved. The road to Will
lard was now made entirely useless as a
road for travel. Any heavy vehicle would
lind the use of that road almost impossi-
BILE. Many of the people at South Port
land were not favorable to double track.
One gentleman who signed the petition,
said he would not have done SO had he
known that the double track was to be
laid. There was
A CAT UNDER THE MEAL
somewhere, and time would show what
it was
Mr.. Hale showed by the petition that
double track had been especially speci-
fed.
Fred Fl. Hartford, ESQ.,, said that he
favored the building of the road, but,
he objected decidedly to the double track.
1t was mystery to him why the pro-
moters of the enterprise should wish to
go to the expense of constructing two
tracks. The assurance given that only
a single track would be placed in Saw
yer street had removed some objection.
But Broadway would be much injured
by the double track He therefore would
present a petition of over 100 citizens of
South Portland, Directing to double
tracks ON Broadway and Sawyer streets
unless they can be paved
VIM. NJ. Bradley, ESQ.,, who appeared for
Mr.. Henry St. John Smith and others,
said that he endorsed all that had been
said by the other remonstrants.
Stephen G. Perry, Esq, appeared for the
selectmen of South Portland 1t had been
charged that there was cat under the
winked, etc. He was present to answer
for the selectmen. Those officials felt
that there should be another route where
by Portland could be reached, and deemed
it for the interest of the town that the
road should be built. The double-end
ferry had greatly built up the place; and
they felt that an electric road would
give additional growth The electric
road had greatly stimulated the growth
of Deering and South Portland wanted
similar benefit. The selectmen do not
fear to leave to this board of railroad
commissioners the preserving of the
rights of South Portland, as. to winter
service and other points.
In making his closing arguemnt Mr..
Hale spoke of Portland's position as the
first commercial city with its growing
and thriving suburbs on the side to be
served by this road. and the splendid
beach within easy reach. These facts
were of first Importance AS to the OBJ
jections urged, the first in order was
that of the B. & NJ. Railroad If this
objection was to be needed, the road
would have to be stopped there. Why
