The word Of an illustrious actor, like
that OF a great general or statesman, COM
mands the attention of the world.
Alexander Salvini, son of the greatest
actor that ever lived, is rapidly taking
his fathers place in the minds and hearts
of the people. Every word OF his, there
fore, like the utterances OF Jefferson or
Irving whom everybody honors and re-
veres, will be read with deepest interest
and ~profoundest attention by all.

Now there are halt a dozen places or more
where you can roll "A string when you
feel 30 disposed. Much OF this in
crease has been brought about by the
biyclists. In the winter months they
want to keep themselves in pretty good
condition, physically, and for this there
is no better exercise than bowling. Go
into any of the alleys at this season oil the
year and you VIII find a large percentage
of the bowlers are wheelmen. That's the
way they keep their muscles in trim and
prevent themselves from getting rusty"

During the recent period when the
sleighing was good a party of young
people left this city for a ride to the
northward in a big party sleigh. They
enjoyed themselves immensely aDc were
on the homeward journey when the sleigh
got stuck on the railway tracks at one OF
the several eossings up in Cumberland.
The driver piled the whip and the horses
tugged at the traces in response, but the
sleigh wouldn't bulge an inch. Then the
young men in the party got out and be-
gan to push with the same i'll success.
Just then the whistle OF a distant ocomo-
tive was heard. One OF the young men
wanted OF know IL anyone had a lantern.
There was no lantern to be had. This
and he hurried from one TO another de-
manding a red handkerchief. or white
ones there were plenty, bat not a red one
could be found in the party. All this
time the young man was piancing around
at the boiling point of excitement.
Finally one of the party asked him what
he wanted a red handkerchief for. "What
do / want 1t for?" he shouted. 81 want
to set il on fire and make a red blaze,
you idiot, so as TO stop that loco
motive. DO you suppose I can make
n red blaze with a white handkerchief"
At that moment the locomotive, which
had caused the alarm. passed over another
track a quarter OF a mile away and the
excitement was allayed. Not so the
which greeted the searcher for
ID red handkerchief.

As against his opinion that OF a conser-
vative citizen who IS neither a friend OF
the saloons nor a rabid prohibitionist is
nc interesting. 81 cannot see where any
good is 10 come from a vote on this ques-
tion One of the direct results OF the
movement VIII be TO increase the pernic-
ious activity OF the liquor element,
which always exerts a demoralizing in
fiuence in any election in which it Is
thoroughly aroused and fighting for self
preservation, IS it will be il license or no
license is made an issue. But assuming
that no license should he carried, would
Providence be any better off? Would
anything be gained for the cause OF
temperance? l think not, for with liquor
saloons open all around the city in Paw
tucket, East Providence, Pawtuxet and
Johnston there would probably be just
rs much drunkenness as ever. The only
change would DO that Providence .woufd
lose the nearly $50. 900 she now derives
from licenses without gaming anything
In the way of greater temperance on the
part OF the people. II any change is to
be made 1t seems to me it should be in
the reduction of the lumber of saloons
rather than an attempt to eradicate the
business altogether, which i believe TO be
impossible of accomplishment. We have
too many saloons-one TO every 1868 in
habitants, couting the retail places only,
when we should have only about one
third that number.

No License Movement SAID
To Be Growing.
What a Conservative Citizen
Says About the Matter.
Two Buildings That Were Scenes
of Destructive Fires.

II Is reported that the movement 70
have the question OF license or no license
submitted to tho voters OF Providence
at the coming April election is gaining
strength and that there is now a reason
able prospect that the necessary number
OF names to have the question included
in the election warrant Will be secured.
About the wisdom OF this movement
there will be, OF course. two opinions.
This morning. for i~nstance,a gentleman
who is heartily 10 favor of no license for
Providence said That he believed that II
the question is submitted it will be car
ried. "To my mind" he continued,
sstLe preponderating sentiment OF the peo-
pie is against the liquor traffic, and the
only reason It did not make itself felt
before was that the chief OF police would
not enforce the law as vigorously as he
should have done Now we've got a chief
who says no will enforce al the laws snd
I'm in favor of giving him a chance to
do it."

Looking at the Howard building, COR

such is the fact, for in their early history
they were decidedly unfortunate in this
respect. The Howard building when first
