BROWN UNIVERSITY.

Several papers have announced that
President Andrews would attend the
international Monetary Conference to
De held abroad this summer. The
any such intentions. He says: "Since
May, 1898, | have not received a single
word, official or non official from Presi-
dent Cleveland or from any member OF
his cabinet touching monetary confer
ence." y
The class OF 1884 has recently turned
over to Brown University library the sum
of 300. This sum forms half of purGe
of $1,000 subscribed at an 'S4 class reunion
to be devoted to the purchase OF BOOKS
for the library. A luncheon given by the
Providence members of the class of "a at
the Athletic Association, with President
Andrews and Librarian koopman as
guests, formed pleasant contamination OF
of the affair.
The junior class has voted that the
sentiment of the class Is against the con-
tinuance of commencement orations. A
VIGOROUS minority of juniors, however,
still believe in the time honored custom.
Professor w. w. Bailey will address the
biological Club this evening, upon the
subject "The Survey OF the Fortieth Par
alIel," describing an expedition which he
accompanied as botanist.
Bliss is champion bowler OF Brown.
Yesterday he defeated Alder in chose

cided only at the last.
The ball team will be practiced on
Lincoln Field part of the week II the

Woman's Committee.
The mem bers of the woman's commit
tee organized to raise fund for a new
dormitory, met yesterday at the
residence OF Mrs r.. BENJAMIN
Andrews. The subscription fund has
had several additions. Lists Of prorni-
nent men friendly to the cause of educa-
tion were considered, and sysc-na-
mined on. A meeting of the stu
dents of the Woman's College will be held
tomorrow, and they will be asked severally
to raise subscriptions Of a small amount,
say five dollars, among their friends.
The results of the work of the committee
is fairly satisfactory on the whole.

CONSUMPTION,
The CURSE OF new ENGLAND

Although consumption is found among
all peoples, from the freezing north to the
melting south, and not an inhabited isle is
free from it, il is fact that fair New Eng
land suffers most from this dread disease.
Twenty per cent of New Englanders
have throat or lung troubles, and fifteen per
cent of the deaths are from consumption
alone. These figures are appalling.
Modern medical science has proven be-
yond doubt that consumption is a germ
disease; therefore, not inherited but conta-
gious, although the tendency to contract it
may be inherited. II is furthermore demon
strated that to contract consumption the
system must be in a rundown condition and
unable to resist the consumption germs,
otherwise they find no lodgment.
Then to prevent consumption, and in its
early stages to cure it, /ooa-meaieine is
necessary. This is found in Anglers Petro-
leum Emulsion. 1t will stop a cough no
matter how stubborn. 1t will strengthen weak
lungs, and its timely use will cure bronchitis
and consumption. 1t will build up broken
down and worn-out tissue. 1t will put flesh
on the wasted frame, blood in the veins and
tone up the general system. 1t contains
no opium or other narcotic, yet it is very
soothing and healing to infamed mucous
surfaces.
Petroleum is used in every land for the
cure of diseases of the outer skin. Anglers
Petroleum Emulsion is for the inner skin,
the lining of the body, and contains in a
concentrated, palatable form all the healing
properties of this wonderful " Earth Sap"
II cures.
Sold everywhere fer 50 cts. and $I.oo.

at a reasonable figure. But the attempts
were Intellectual. Without fail the
property owners would learn that
they were dealing with an
agent of the city and up would go the
prices. In one instance land that was as
sessed at 90 cents foot was offered TO
the city for s1.SS, and in another place
land valued at 1924 foot went up to s2.35
To remedy the trouble the General AS
semby was asked to pass a bin for an act
authorizing the City OF Providence TO
condemn land for school purposes and the
request was granted. =
The act is for { ne interests OF the city and, !,
unliks the law OF 20 years ago, the city is
not obliged TO prove the title before 1t can
take the land. The owners will be allowed
three months to come 10 terms aud then
the city may condemn.
The proposed site Is somewhat smaller
than that OF the present High school
which has an area of3S, ,90i square feet and
the new building will be somewhat small
Ter.
The seating capacity OF the present High
School is 660 pupils, and for the new
building Il will be 900.
The High School now Is not only full
but there are i2S pupils being temporarily
accommodated In the Peace..and Point
street grammar schools who have very
just claim for the new building.
The increase last year IN High School
attendance was 257, and there is every
reason TO believe that it viii be as great
this year and next, so that by the time
the new school In built and ready for
occupancy, as IL is expected 10 be by
September I, 1896, there will be more
than enough pupils TO fiji both
buildings. And then tho next step
will be to grant the many petitions
continually received rom East siders for
High School in their section Of the city.

Athletic Exhibition.

The Brown students annual athletic ex-
hibition will occur tomorrow evening.
The class squads are doing most careful
practice and are receiving the finishing
polish.
The program, comprising twenty one
events in all, has several novel innova-
tions in the nature of living statuary,
comprising personifications of famous
groups OF sculpture, the parts being
taken by Captain Bustard, Captain Mott
and II. A. Locke.
The pyramids are better than ever be-
fore, including many picturesque forma-
tions and difficult positions worthy of eX-
pert acrobats. The several classes
will occupy different parts OF the
hall reserved for them, and
will cheer their representatives
to win. President Andrews, DIR. Sargent
of Harvard and the supervisor of physical
culture I'm the Boston schools, will act as
judges. Students from the Woman's
College will attend in body and add the
incentive afforded by their presence.

New High School Location
Practically Decided Upon.
AT the Corner Of Pond and Summer
Streets Opposite Present Schools.
Council Authorized Condemnation Of
Required Land If Owners Won't Sell.

The action OF the Board OF Aldermen is
the only formality that must now be
awaited before active and tang bic opera
tions may be commenced TO secure a
second High School for the City
OF Providence. The Common Coun-
Gil passed the necessary resolutions
last night TO place the city in possession
OF land recommended by the committee
on education and approved by the school
officials and members OF the school COM
mittee.
1t is tract OF land. including seven
estates, situated on the southeast corner
OF Summer and Pond streets with 'front.'
age of i54.99 feet on Summer and OF
20l.32 feet on Pond street. The
total area is 32,209 square feet and the
total value of the land with buildings as
estimated by the tax assessors, is $40, ,925.
Ii Is directly opposite the present high
school on Summer street, and
the desired land extends back on
Pond street to the westerly limit
of the site of the Manual Training school,
while diagonally across the corner
is the the Summer street primary
school, so that the city will have
a most desirable group of buildings To-
Gated AT what is practically the center of
the school population.

and they ran to his assistance. An at
tempt to force open the door was made,
but the crowd of Republicans who
were keeping the Governors secretary
out with the message resisted with all the
force they could command. The doors
were unable to stand the pressure of bear
ing upon them and they were forced open.
King, who was I'm front, was forced
right into the crowd Of Republicans, who
were bent on keeping him from reaching
the Speakers desk. With one accord the
men began striking at each other, and the
secretary was in great danger OF being
killed.
"Kill him." cried a hundred voices.
The women who were in the gallery
screamed and one or two tainted. Ali
was confusion and friends and enemies
alike were fighting. The sole aim of the
Democrats was to get King through the
crowd to the Speakers desk with the
Governors message, and the Republicans
were determined TO hold him back until
II O'Clock at which time the House would
adjourn sine die.
Inch by inch the Democrats gained
foot. Many persons were knocked down
and trampled upon. Revolvers were
fiourished in the air, but as fast
as one was drawn, the man holding it
was knocked down. The heavy chairs
were torn from the floor by the mob and
the desks were broken to pieces. Doors
leading TO other rooms were shattered
by persons in the corridors trying TO
effect an entrance to the chamber. The
police were powerless to check the mob,
which seemed bent on destroying every
thing in the room,
AT 11:57 the excitement was intense
and fighting at every part OF the room,
and scores OF men were bleeding from
numerous wounds. Democrats were
gradually forcing King to the Speakers
desk and the Republicans were growing
weaker on account of so many being in
jured. A few seconds later, King with
his clothing torn from his body, was
pushed by main force through the crowd
and thrown heavily against the Speakers
desk. lie still held the Governor message
in his hand, but 1t never reached the
Speaker. just as King was about to
place it in his hands, Speaker Adams
kicked and beat back the crowd and in a
voice which could be heard above the ter
rible din cried: "The House has ad-
journed." "The House has adjourned"
This raised great cry from the crowd
and everybody made rush
toward the Speaker. The veto
was torn from Kings hand.
This practically ended the riot. Several
small fights occurred, but the police and
others finally succeeded in driving the
men from the chamber. No less than two
dozen persons were hurt. Noarrests were
made.
The trouble originated over the bill TO
supplant Custodian Griffin, Democrat,
with o Republican. The Governor has
was delivered to the Governor two
nights ago. 1t was his scheme TO hold it
until the last minute, and then the Leg
islature could not pass it over his veto, as
adjournment would take place at II
o'clock.
The Gov rnor's secretary started with
the bill with 10 minutes time. The
Repu ublicans attempted by force TO
prevent his reaching the legislative
hall with the bill in time. Adams,
who was injured, is the Representative of
Park county. lie was kicked in pit of the
stomach and had to be carried from the
House.

suits settlement has been made, the dis
pute seeming TO be rather as to
the amount of damages claimed than
the liability of the defendant
company. Hersey's case, as stated by his
friends, seems TO be particularly de-
serving one. He is young man 20 years
of age, with wife and children to
support. Until the time of the
accident he was employed at
James shaw's barber shop, where he re-
ceived good wages for journeyman bar
Der. The accident has resulted in concus-
sion OF the spine and paralysis Of the lower
limbs has followed. Hersey's family are
by n means in afliuence and are in need
OF his labor for their support. In the
opinion of his former employer the in
jured man will be a cripple for
life, and ii is understood that
doctors appointed as experts by the court
are OF the belief that the plaintiffs con-
dition IL serious. Under these circum-
stances a settlement seems probable. Ed
wards & Angel represent Hersey's in
terests and the Bakers appear for the cor
poration.
In the suit of Gardner l.. Miller against
Charles Benedict, assigned for trial to-
day before Judge Wilbur, the defendant
submitted to judgment for the amount
claimed.

The Appellate Court today handed down
an opinion to the effect that the heirs of
James Hamilton Clarke OF Jamestown had

In the case OF Lydia r. Fellows against

plainant has not made n case which en-
