isfactory manner.

After expressing the pleasure 1t gave
him TO meet his fellow Republicans OF
tue city of Providence, the Governor said
this was all occasion of more tnan ordi-
nary importance. An election to an
American is always an occasion of i'm
portance and the battle of the morrow
was fraught with great moment to sve.y
citizen of the municipality. 1t Is tho
duty, therefore, for every man TO go to
the polls and honestly vote his convic-
tions. Attention was then given TO tine
history of the Republican party. It's
many and glorious achievements were
pointed out, while the inefficient, in
competent and disastrous management
OF public affairs by the Democracy was
unsparingly exposed and condemned.
Mr.. George A. Littlefeld, who was
presented by Governor Lippitt, paid A
high tribute TO the worth and excellence
OF the candidates OF the Repu blican party.
Opponents OF the Republican party have
named tickets made up almost entirely
of new men. This Is not q very business
like proceeding. Rotation in office is a
good thing. IL would be well, perhaps, to
elect one new man in each delegation TO
the City Council every year; but TO pro-
pose TO turn over the city with all the
important works II has in progress, i'm
short sighted and unbusiness-like, but
absurd.
Benjamin W. Bosworth. Esq, the next
speaker, said that amid all the confusion
that prevails IL IL wise for every good
citizen to stop and consider what all the
noise Is about. What the present situation
is we all know. On one side is the Repub-
lican party, we'll organized and disoi-
pinned, with intelligent leadership,a party
which claims the rigEt, by reason of its
great achievements in the past, by rea-
son OF its consistent and persistent efforts
in -behalf of good government, TO ask
every citizen why the great and varied
interests Of this municipality should be
taken from the party that has so loyalty
and intelligently conserved them and
placed In irresponsible hands. On the.other
side Is a conglomerate mass made up OF al
legged Republican,, Democrats and Pro-
hibitionists, Socialists, Clarkites and Re-
formers. All these. are banded together

HOrseIess Carriages.

Paris is becoming enthusiastic on
the subject of horseless carriages.
According to Commercial Cable des-
patch another competitive race SIM
liar to the one from Paris to Rouen in
July last, has been arranged to take
place in June next, the route being
from Paris to Bordeaux and return.
In the Paris Rouen race the Comte de
Dion's carriage, which was propelled
by steam, came in handsome win
ner, the record being seventeen and q
half miles an hour, the machine
Charging the hills like IN express
train
There will doubtless be many i'm
provements shown in the horseless
carriages that will be seen on the road
in June. The Comte de Dion has ev-
identity very enthusiastic following,
as shown by the handsome subscrip-
tions made for prizes to be given not
only for the best horseless carriages,
but for bicycles and tricyles propelled
by steam or petroleum. There seems
no reason to doubt that in the near
future we shall have all our carriages,
cabs and coaches run without the es-
sistance of horses, thanks to the initi-
ative of the Comte de Dion. New

C0ughed Out IL Bullet.

A very strange and interesting Incl.
dent has just occurred in Aaronsburg,
Penn Jacob Dunkle, soldier OF
that town, lost an eye in battle ol
the Civil War. At the time he re.
ceived the injury the surgeon merely
washed his eye and the bullet was not
probed for. He has experienced pain
at times ever since on the left side OF
his face, his eye constantly running
with water.
Last week while in Milhelm Mr..
Dunkle took coughing spell, and
during the spasm his friends IN his
company noticed something drop
arom his mouth 1t turned out to be
minnie ball which had become
lodged in the back part of the mouth,
having found its way down from the
eye. New York Advertiser.

"Shtop the car, I say" she re.

Still no response.

Adoption Among Birds.

Modern scientific research undoubt-
edly tends to place the ethics of bird
life on higher and higher level. Even
the cuckoo, against whom SO much
has been written, is now acknowledged
to have been maligned when it was
universally affirmed by ornithologists
that it displays in its tenderest stage
of development the odious faculty OF
ejecting its lawful occupants from the
stolen nest, in which it has been
placed The Bishop of Newcastle has
now made himself responsible for a
touching little anecdote. Not long
ago, says DR.. WilberForce, there was a
Frenchman who had large family,
and who was haunted by the idea that
when he died there would be no one
to look after his children. While
thinking of this one spring day, he
noticed two nests in a hedge close by
each other. Each contained half
fedged birds, whose parents were ly-
ing dead. He went away sad, think.
ing that the young birds must die.
What was his surprise, however, a few
days after to see them quite happy
and apparently well fed. He stood
apart and watched, and presently he
saw the parent birds of other nests
come to the young birds and feed
them. They had adopted the little
orphans, a fact which the Frenchman
naturally took as n good omen with
regard to his own little ones. Lon.

Lamps shown in store windows at

Such light shows lamp and shade to

axles grow thus "fatigued" and finally
break from the effect of jolts and
strains SO small that no single one of
them seems to have any effect at all.
