A Fine Gift to the Providence Ath-
letic Association.
Mr.. Walter A. Peck has presented the
Providence Athletic Association a mag
nificent pair of canvases, representing
life-size anatomical figures, for the use of
the gymnasium. The figures are painted
in oil on canvsses measuring feet by
z feet, and show thoroughly developed
male form, giving front and back views.
The paintings are the work OF Professor
Holmes w. Merton of Attleboro, who is
well-known in the professions of physiol-
ogy and psychology. Professor Merton
is an artist as well as an authority on
these matters, and the pair OF canvases
painted for Mr.. Peck, and now the posses
sion of the Athletics, will bear critical
examination az art works, as well as fur
nishing q fine study in muscular devel-
opment, the work of accurate, draughts-
manship, excellent coloring and a thor
ough acquaintance with the subject.
The figures will hang on the walls OF

CAPT. THOMPSON WANTS TO KNOW
Complains OF Discrimination Against
Him in Discharging Cargo

There was q consultation of captains of
q number of the large coal carrying
schooners that come into this port, held
in an office on South Water street this
forenoon. when the subject of discharg-
ing cargoes was discussed. Ii is claimed
by Captain Thompson OF the four masted
schooner William Neeiy that he has not
been treated fairly by the managers OF
the wilkesbaarre pier, and that other
vessels with much larger cargoes have
been discharged in a much shorter time
than his vessel.
The incident that led up to this confer
ence was that Captain Thompson's ves-
sci was at tbs wharf some time before the
schooner Lucinda sutton, which had sew
sral more tons OF coal than the William
Neely, but the Sutton has been discharg-
ed and sailed and the Neely 10 still at
the dock.
Now Captain Thompson says that he
thinks that ali vessels should be treated
alike instead of showing any preference
and saws that he thinks that he will ap-
peal to the courts and see II there 10 any
protection.
In almost all bills OF lading there Is q
clause that yessels shall be discharged
at the rate OF 300 tons day, and Captain
Thompson says that his vessel was dis
charged at the rate OF only $50 tons day.
Some years ago Captain Thompson had a
lawsuit of a similar nature al Savannah,
Ga, and got verdict in his favor and
as he 10 known among sea faring men as
being something of q "sticker'when he
undertakes anything, the other captains
coming to this port will watch the case
with more than ordinary interest II b'
begins q suit and the probabilities are
that he will.

A Young Eratricide.

GRAND RAPIDS, Minn., Oct. 16.-while
out hunting near here the l3-year-old son
OF Hamilton johnson shot and fatally
wounded his brother Allen, aged 10, and
then declared that tramp, whom he de-
scribed, had done the shooting because
the boys would not leave the woods. To-
day one Fitzgerld, tramp, was arrested
at Deer River as the man had who shot
the boy, and on his denying the charge
young Johnson confessed that he had
shot his brother himself accidentally.
Had not the boy made this confession
things would have gone badly with the
tramp.

ALCOHOL TAX.
Impositions by Reason Of Absence OF
Regulations.

Regulations.
WASHINGTON, Oct. I6.-The suits
brought I'm the court OF claims to re-
cover the taxes imposed by the govern
ment on alcohol used in medicinal COM
pounds and in the arts will probably
come up at the session of the court
which begins next week. Under the
present tariff law alcohol used in medi-
cinsl compounds and in the arts was to
be free from taxation under regulations
to be prescribed by the Secretary OF the
Treasury. Owing to the difficulty of car
rying out the law, however, and upon
the representation that 1t would open the
way for wholesale fraud, the Secretary
declined to make regulations, and despite
the protest of manufacturing phsrma-
cjsts and others using alcohol exempt
from taxation by the terms OF the tariff
law, the tax was collected.
In this way, it is estimated that DUR
ing the Is months the law has been in
operation between "a, 0oo, 900 and s5,ooo,-
900 have been collected on alcohol that
would have been exempt had the Secre-
tary issued regulations. Druggists and
others have paid the taxes, but have
carefully retained evidence OF the amounts
paid and two test suits, one by firm
of manufacturing druggists OF Baltimore
and the other by New York hat firm,
have been brought in the court of claims
to recover. The briefs OF the complaints
have been filed and assistant attorney
general Dodge is preparing the case OF

A Prosperous Season on the Conti-
mental Line Encourages Investment.
1t is understood that the Continental
Steam boat Company is to have fine new
steam boat built by Pussey, Jones g. Com
pany OF Wilmington, Del. The new.craft
will be as large, If not larger, than the
steamer Mount Hope, OF the Fall River
Line, and will cost q great deal more
money. 1t will contain every modern
appliance and convenience and will be
the best boat on the river, excepting, OF
course, the Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut.
The business of the company was larger
last season than ever before, and the de-
mands for accommodation were at times
severely strained.
1t was expected that meeting OF the
directors would be held today, st which
arrangements for the new boat would be
completed.

The strong Amer:canism Of the Pres

all produce markets are inactive and
industries unusually dull. the disturb
ance has affected values much less than
IN ght have been expected.
Not because of any foreign question,
but simply because Of influences which
have been IN continuous operation for
