WE understand that the Kingston
ochooi folk, some of them, at least, are
assuming a very disagreeable, not to saw
threatening, attitude toward their neigh.
oors in the South county who are intelli.
gent enough to realize that Kingston
Hill Is no place for the State Agricultu-
raj School and are honest enough to ex-
press their convictions. They declare
that II the school is not permitted to re-
main on Kingston Hill they will fight
against having it located at Kingston
depot. Anywhere but Kingston de-
pot! Is now their slogan. They had
better keep quiet.

aio OF that excellent charitable
INSTITUTION, the Rhode Island EXCHANGE

word about the auction sale of seats an
nounced In your columns, as we under.
STAND that announcement has created q
good deal of discussion.
Inc COMMITTEES mean exactly what they
say In the advertisement Any seats that
anyoody wants put up will be kuctioned
OH In blocks OF four, six or 10, according
TO the preference OF buyers. Further
more IL Is not the purpose of the COM
mitteo In this auction to place q premium
on choice seats, or to reap any profits be-
yond that which should come from tho
regular prices of the tickets. Indeed.
the holding of the auction will be an
expense to the committee, which may or
may not be met by the premiums received.
That VIII depend on the liveliness of the
bidding.
The simple fact IL that the COMMITTEES
are cogniEant OF the fact that the demand

opportunity for spectators to buy up the
best part OF the house for the whole week
ana 10 compel the public to pay Tor the

many friends of the exchange and the
pubic generally from the imposition of

hands without standing in line" or
paying a fancy price to specuiat-
ors. The a%uctioneer will accept any prem
lum az low as i've cents, and the COM

They simply know of no better way than
his auction to protect the public and
i've them an opportunity to get their

'rbitant tax on them. And IL the bid
ling on any seats should raise the price
o any extent, tho premiums will ct least

In connection with this subject, we have
some ak to the effect that q gen. '

Lingerie is a feature of fashion of in

and batiste again in fashionable favor for
underclothing, but petticoats of these goods
are rivaling the silk ones which have pre-

made of china silk and surah are said to
be washable, their appearance is always
ruined by soap and water, for if they are
tinted they fade, while if they are white
they turn yellow. Collars and cuffs of va
