For persistent lobbyists commend us
to JOHN HOSEA WAsHBURNE, Phi. d.,
president and professor of chemistry at
the Rhode Island College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, and CHARLES Otis
FLAGG, b. Sc, professor of agriculture
in that institution and director of the
Experiment Station attached thereto.
These gentlemen, employees of the State,
take it upon themselves. whenever op-
portunity presents itself, to urge the
passage OF the appropriation for $40, 900
asked for for new buildings on Kingston
Hill, and have even been prone TO dis
play warmth of partisanship and q
strength Of opinion that is apparently
prompted by the unfortunate delusion
that somehow the States property at
Kingston has been decided to them for
perpetual care.

FRANKLIN SOCIETY.

At the regnlar meeting of the Franklin
Society, at their rooms, 81 North Main
street, last evening, Mr.. l.. w. Russell
gave lecture, the subject being "Among
the Plnes." 1t was given from the stand
point of anlenthusiast for Nature, and
large tn BILE was covered with illustrative
specimens.
In all there are twenty genera OF cone
bearing trees with 40 to 120 varieties, of
which this country has over one half.
The belts of pines extend from Maine,
intermittently, to Wisconsin and Mime
sofa; in the Sout b, mainly from Virginia
to Texas, In belt from so to 100 miles
wide; In the extreme West from Britis n
America to Mexico.
The pines Of New England are three in
mum Der; the white, the pitch, and the red
or so called Norway pine. The latter is to
be found mostl-.. in northern Massachu-
se,ts and New Hsmsphire. The first men
toned has its needle-iike leaves in fives,
the second in threes, and last in twos.
The utter destruction of these immensely
valuable pine forests is Unfortunately
carried on by cutting followed by the in
evitable fires which come owing to the
non removal of the out Limbs and other
debris.
Mr.. Russell in his natively interesting
manner referred to his many intimate
associations with the pines in the woods
of Maine and the Adirondack region also
nearer home, with here and there quota
tiop from the poets.

a Single Run.


Honors were even yesterday afternoon
ct the close OF the game between the
Providence professionals and the Brown
University nine so far as games won and
lost were concerned, but in the figures OF
the scores the college bows have much the
better showing. At Adelaide Park last
Saturday they defeated tho Grays by the
score Of IL to 8; yesterday on their own
Lincoln Field they lost by the very small
margin of 3 to 4.
A big crowd witnessed the game and
the snap and vim shown by the Is players
throughout all the innings kept everyone
interested and . return OF genuine base
ball enthusiasm was experienced on the
grand stand and bleachers.
The college players put up cleaner
fielding game with but three errors against
them, and Summersgiil, the Varsity
pitcher, showed to better advantage than
Rudderham.
The score stood 4 to 1 up to the last
inning, when with two men out and two
men on bases Brown got in two runs rs
the result of safe hit by Bustard and
McAuley's wild throw to third base. The

THE General Assembly will undoubt-
edly grant the request OF the Cranston
town meeting to have the question of
reorganization into city passed upon
by the people of the town. and it will
be interesting to watch the result of the
vote. We guess the "City of Cranston''
would be unique among municipalities,
but if the folk out there think that they
want to have city we should say they
ought to be allowed to have it.

WE are pleased to learn that the ideas
of this newspaper on the State Agricul-
tural School matter are so thoroughly
disseminated through the South
County that even the workmen engaged
in piling stone upon stone in the task of

their labors and mopping the sweat from
their honest brows. remark loosely, as
they gaze over the drear landscapes:
"What delightful view." And the
other day, when it rained cats and dogs,
the by-word Of the noon hour was
"Never mind, boys, we have plenty
of quick drainage Ridicule is often
fair argument and the chief claim for
the present location of Kingston School,
according to the catalogue, that there
is delightful view AMI quick drain
age offers ample opportunity to utilize
this factor in argument, although it is
no joke that $iOO, 600 have been devoted
that a paltry 100 pupils and "a profess
sors may be supported where the view
is delightful" and the drainage is
quick"

Lord Chancellor and Great Seal.

1t may not be generally known that
during his term Of Office the lord high
chancellor is not permitted to leave the
kingdom. If he makes a holiday he must
choose a locality somewhere within the
boundaries of the island. The reason for
this restriction, Mr.. Lucy explains in an
article in The Strand Magazine is that
wherever the lord chancellor goes he must
carry with him the great seal, and that is
not to be trusted out Of the country. This
precious mark Of authority consists of a
pair of dies made in silver. When neccs-
sity arises for fixing the great seal of Eng
land to any document, the dies are closed,
melted wax is poured in, and, opened in
due season, the great seal is found ready
for attachment. The pair of dies now in
use date from the accession of her majesty.
On her death they will be cut into pieces
and deposited with n long list of others in
the Tower. -Westminster Gazette.
