EAST PROVIDENCE.

In Bucklin Post last evening, after the
regular business had been transacted,
Miss r.. b. Dexter of Providence was ad
mitted. She stated that the ladies So
cieiy of Colonial Danes was organizing
for an entertainment to be known as
Rhode Island Days in "Auld Lang Syne.
The enterto inment, is to be given In
Providence, but the time is not set. 1t is
to represent the principal events from
the landing of Roger Williams to the close
of the war. Miss Dexter invited the
members of this post to assist in the war
exercises. A large number signified
their willingness to assist. Miss Dexter
will visit all the posts for the same pur-
pose
The Y. p. s.. &. T.. OF the United Con-
gregational church met last evening for
their regular monthly business and social.
1hc me ting was called 10 order by Vice
President William H. Oliver. The resig-
nation of MIR. Nolage from the society
caused a vacancy as secretary, and it was
filled by the election of Mr.. John Car
penter, Miss Fraser also resigned her posi-
ton on the prayer nesting committee,
and withdrew from tbs society. Her
place was filed by the election Of Mrs.
John McCausland. Tie matter of procur.
ing piano was discussed, and referred
10 the music committee. After this all
set to work covering Sunday school books.
collation. was served and games were
enjoyed.
The matter OF locating the new school
house, as 1t is proposed by the school
committee, is creating much talk and
comment. TIE movement Is generally
opposed by those interested in school
matters on the ground. that the proposed
location is not in the right place, that it
Is not in the most convenient locality to
accommodate the greater number of child
ren. There is a general opinion that the
people north of Waterman street should
be accommodated with a school build
ing as this is the section which will
grow fast, end there is large number OF
children, who have now to walk long
distance, while in the locality proposed
by the committee there are not q dozen
children or houses.

AN ALARM TURNED IN.

An alarm of fire for the
E. R. Gather home, corner
Hazel and Seventh streets was
turned in last night at $40 O'Clock
and soon. our two fire companies
were galloping to the scene. 1t was
found, when the company got their
hose ready to throw water that the
building was too tar gone to save it
but there was property adjoining it
which could be saved by keeping
down the heat and shifting the wa
ter from the burning building aHd
drenching the others in close prox-
unity, this they did and it was plain
ly seen that the fire would be kept
IN check and not allowed to spread.
The Gather house was large
one, and had many rooms and this
acted as barrier to the hremen in
reaching the flames at every point
or they would have subdued the
flames before they did, We notic-
ed three streams of water being
used and the pressure was good and
many thousand gallons was played
on the building,
We learn that the house was oc-
cupied as sleeping apartments for
men only and was insured for 81, 500
in the Offenhauser agency. The
house was valued at $1,000 or 81, 900
and will prove a great loss to Mr.,
and Mrs. e. r. Gather, who are
nowllving at Bogs Springs, Ark
ansas.
Mrs. Gather is in the city now
having come here few days ago to
look after her property interest and
the blow will perhaps not fall so
heavily on her as it would, perhaps,
had she been apprised by letter or
wire We feel sorry at the loss
they have sustained and hope they
will soon be able to rebuild or sell
the lot and put the money in some
business that will pay them back
what they have been deprived of by
the flames,

(AJith a better understanding OF the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper et-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup pof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and IS
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it's the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
qli important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, 10 note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Call-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists. .,
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended 10 the most skilltul
physicians, but If in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF

be used on all roads wherever practi-
cable.
That the breaking of rock by prison
ers in the jailyard be discontinued.
That said prisoners be put to work on
the roads leading into the city at grad-
ing and spreading the rock.
That a steam road roller of fifteen
tens weight be purcha sed at once, to be
used in the repairing of old roads and
the building of new roads, be they built
CT earth or of stone. We consider the
use of a roller the most economical
method in building and maintaining our
county roads.
That wherever it is necessary to put in
& culvert, vitrified pipe be used.
That all work done on roads be of a
permanent nature, and by specified con-
tract.
That system of building few miles
of permanent roads each year be in
augurated, and those lines of road on
which there is the greatest amount OF
travel be completed first
That the sprinkling of county roads
be done by contract, said contracts to be
so made that the sprinklers may be
called out at any time of the year and
in any locality required
We recommend that no contracts for
service or supplies for the public roads,
nor any work, be ordered except in case
of necessary repairs, unless there is
sufficient money in the fund of the dis
trict to pay for the same; and that all
bills for work done or supplies fur
nished for repairs and construction be
examined and passed upon monthly.
