Aiix, the Queen OF Trptters.

"Alix stands 10 hands high and weighs
$50 pounds. Sho has an exceedingly blood
like look, and her head, neck and shoul
ders are perfect" says Outing for June.
"She is wide across the forehead, with n
beautiful, beaming intelligent eye. Her
great popularity is that she is not fond al
tho opposite sex. She is exceedingly fond
of the ladies, and IA bonnet, with good
looking face underneath it, has only got
to appear at her stall when she will imme-
diately go TO meet the visitor. She will
put her head down apparently TO kiss the
hand of the stranger, but In reality 1t Is
only her fondnoss for bonbons and sugar,
which her lady visitors, who know her
weakness, are always ready to give her.
In this respect she Is much like her own
sex, whether equine or human she Is fond
of the sweetness and luxuries of life. She Is
model traveller, and as soon as she gets
into her car lies down and has no fear. As
a campaigner she Is fearless, resolute and
game and is in every respect the beau ideal,
the dream and the realization of the per
feet American trotter."

1t is quito true that Henry Il. Dixey Is
negotiating for "The Pacific Mail, " but
up To date no arrangement has been come
To.
Mr.. Dixey's plans arc rather chaotic.
There is possibility of his doing "A Lot
terry of Love" and remaining under Mr..
Daly's management.
IL he succeeds In securing "The Pacific
Mail it Is possible that he will sever all
connection with Mr.. DAILY.
The enforced idlcness of this actor at q
time given over largely to burlesque is one
of the penalties paid for being a star.
When you are once IA star in the theatric
al profession, 1t is retrogression to figure
in any other capacity, so Mr.. Dixey, who
received a very advantageous offer TO play
Svengali in the production of "Thrilby'
was forced to decline. Mr.. Mansfield wished
Mr.. Dixey to play the part, but Mr.. Dixey
thought Mansfield could play it himself
equally well.
So 1t was when he received an offer OF
$500 q week to appear for ten minutes and

PUBLIC REQUESTS.

According TO an interesting table, COM
piled by the Chicago Tribune, gifts and
bequests to public objects for the five
months of the current year amount to
$40, 434, 100.
There is thoughtful fruit in these
figures. All this money has come
from the rich, from those who
could "afford TO give" from
those who are constantly giving, from
those whose wealth the socialist would
distribute to obviate the necessity of in
dividual effort, individual ambition,
and upon whose means the populist
would assess an income tax that so
much to spend for public objects would
not be available.
The whole world is constantly making
claims upon tie rich man, and the rich
man pretty generally responds. AS a
rule, the acquiring of wealth is not ac-
companied with stinginess or selfishness.
He who does not regard a good part OF
his wealth as trust, the in
terest of which is to be
divided for the public good, is
the exception, and not the rule. All over
the land hospitals, schools, and charities
of every sort and kind are maintained
and the men of wealth support them in
the interests of the men OF small income
and even of him of moderately large
means. OF this ten millions and half
of dollars distributed Tor the
public benefit in these FIVE
months, colleges and universities got
S4,075, $50; hospitals, 1883, 900;
churches, S7s9,0OO; libraries, S20S, 900
and museums, art galleries and other
institutions, $3,76S, 400. And there is
nothing unusual about this sum
total unless we except Presi-
dent Lows gift of million
to Columbia College. and Provost
HARRIsoN's half a million 20 the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. Most of these
gifts were in comparatively small sums,
widely distributed, and attracting little
public attention. In word about two
million dollars a month are given
freely by the rich men of the
land TO public service. Maybe
they ought to give more of their gains
than this. But this~sum doesn't strike
US as a bit stingy. And we believe it
accomplishes much more good than
would the division of the capital it rep
resents among the people, or than the
funds that would go to government
under any pernicious income tax
assessment.

THE LEAGUE CONVENTION.

The Republicans of Rhode Island are
making preparation for the annual con-
vention of the Republican National
League, which is to be held in Cleve-
land, June 1921 next. There are nearly
two hundred Republican clubs repre-
sented in the Republican National
League In the State, and Rhode Island
has always been well represented at the
convention of this body. II is desired
by President TIEPKE that the record
should not be spoiled this year,
and 1t being too late to call a
convention for the election OF
delegates, he has exercised the authority
given HIM by the constitution of the
league and has invited several promi-
nent Republicans to attend as delegates.
Among those who will form the party
are Ex-Governor BROWN and Secretary
of State BENNETT.
The railroads have made a special rate
OF one single fare and third to Cleve-
land and return, which. from Provi-
dence, will amount to S20 10, not in
cluding sleeping car charges. 1t will be
possible for the delegates to leave here
on the nth at 1,50 p. m, arriving in
Cleveland on the 18th at 2:25 p. IN.
Owing to the fact that next year the
presidential election will be held, this
convention will be one Of the most i'm
portant that has been called. The pres
ence Of several Republicans OF national
prominence who have promised to at
tend will make II Of additional impor-
tance ana interest.
The officers OF the League extend an
invitation to all Republicans TO join the
party. Those who would like TO take
part In the excursion should communi-
cate with r. w. JENNINGS, secretary
OF the State League, IS North Main
street. from whom ali information can
lie obtained.

Wool and Cotton Reporter.

The reference in some Of the daily papers to
the advance Of wages in Fall River and New
Bedford which was held up as a justification
for the demand for an increase in olneyville,
has aroused some little talk. The Reporter
pointed out some time ago, at the beginning
of the struggle. that the conditions governing
the situation in Olneyville and Fall River
were altogether different, the mills in the
former town being engaged on worsted and
dress goods while the latter are wholly EN-
ployed on cotton goods, mostly print cloths,
which have for some time been in a decidedly
more prosperous condition than woolen or
worsted goods 1t is gratifying to note that
the mills in Olneyvillo were opened again on
Monday morning. and that police protection
has been afforded those who wish TO work. 1t
will not be- long, we believe, before tho mills
willb running full again.
