The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-05-02
One Who is Deserving of
a Lasting Memorial.
A "Fence" Driven Insane by
a Threatened Exposure.
The 33d Anniversary OF the Battle
Of Charlottesville.

Providence Is certainly not noted for
the number OF her monuments, built to
perpetuate the memory of citizens who
have played a prominent and valuable
part in her earlier history. True, we
have q memorial of Roger williams in
the park which bears his name; a statue
of Dolye On Cathedral square and another
of Ebenezer Knight Dexter on the Dexter
Training Field erected principally by
private mvnificence, but none of the other
men who were distinguished In their own
time and whose public services have ex-
erted powerful and beneficient i'm
duence in later times have been
Similarly honored. One OF the old
est residents OF Providence in
speaking OF this matter TO the Gossiper
today said that " ever man deserved a
lasting memorial at the hands OF the peo-
pie OF this city, that man was Moses
Brown. Moses Brown, he continued,
was the most potential factor in pro-
noting its material, social and educa-
tional welfare Providence has ever had.
His career as q business man was COM
paratively brief but his beneticient in
fiuence was felt throughout mis- valuable
career extending over period but two
years less than q century.
He voluntarily gave his slaves their lib
orty and from that.time until the hour
Of his death was steadfast worker and
xealous champion of the cause ot the
bondman. In the matter OF education no
msn ever rendered more valuable SER
vices To his efforts mainly is due the
establishment of Rhode Island College,
now Brown University in Providence, as
well as the Friends School, for which he
donated the site aud to which he made
subsequently many substantial gifts. lie

one OF the founders OF the Providence
Athanmum, OF the Society for the Promo
ton Of Agriculture, OF the Rhode Island
Bible Society, the Rhode Island Peace
Society, the Rhode Island Historical
Society. and of the Abolition Society.
With all public improvements he was
prominently identified. The first pave
ments ever laid in Providence were se-
the original bridge at the site OF the pres
ent Red Bridge was erected almost
wholly through his efforts and bounty.
Such a man, concluded the aged citizen,
is certainly deserving of memorial more
In keeping with the record OF his work
and his worth than the modest stone
which marks his resting place in the
North Burial Ground.

Your Boy Won't Live q Month,

So Mr.. Gilman Brown, of "a Mill
street, South Gardner, Mass, was
told by the doctors. His son had
lung trouble, following typhoid ma
laria, and he spent 1915 with doc
tors, who finally gave him up. say
ing: "Your boy won't live q
month" He tried DR.. Kings New
Discovery and a few bottles restored
him to health and enabled him to &C
to work perfectly well man. He
says he owes his present good health
to the use of DR.. Kings New Dis
covery, and knows it to be the best

Now FOR A LEVEE.
With improved Water Facilities
Let's Enjoy Them.
NEW RIVER FRONT A NECESSITY.

Speedy Completion of the Hennepiu Canal
and . Modern Harbor win Mako Rock
Islands Commerce Worthy OF the Effort
of the City to Improve II.
Aside from the action of the river
and harbor committee. as indicated
by Congressman Princes dispatch to
last evenings ARGUS, in placing the
Hennepin canal under the contract
system and appropriating $5.7S5, 800
for its immediate construction. the
river and harbor committees report
carried S.. coo for the improvement of
Rock Islands harbor.
The success of both these measures
means an inestimable benefit to Rock
Islands river commerce. The canal,
although not of the advantage that
it would have been had it not been
driven to the south side of Rock
river, can be made to Rock Island
either of less or greater importance
by the spirit which is shown by our
people to avail themselves of it.
With an improved levee aud First
avenne put in permanent condition
to invite commerce. there may be
built up there a jobbing district that
may be worthy of great city. 1t is
essential, too. that the levee be con-
verified from a dumping ground into
a desirable approach to the river. if
the harbor improvement is to be APP
preciated. 1t is the sand barge. as
repeatedly referred to in The ARGUS.
that raises the trouble in the harbor.
Remove the dumping ground from
the levee, make the river front at
tractive instead of an eyesore and
then Rock Island will be IN position
to improve and welcome commerce.
Will the Council Act:
It is for the council to determine
whether Rock Island will have a
leyee in keeping with the needs of
the city in the present instance. 1t
has been working with the matter
for some time and it ought now to
reach a solution of the question AMI
adopt course which will insure the
desired ends.
Will the council act?

Day Street Denizens Witness a Duel.
 Frank A. Remington and Carrie Buckman, colored, each have ugly wounds on the head which will remind them for some time of the bloody en- counter they had at 2S Day street last evening. Frank and Carrie both like their beer and both had imbibed more than was good for them yesterday. Each was in belligerent mood when they met and words soon gave place to more impressive implements
 Carrie says that Frank cut her skull with an aX, but the latter told the off, cer who made the arrest that he used nothing but the kerosene oil can to en- force his opinions on the mind of the woman, Remington has memories of a certain frying pan about his own head, wielded with telling effect by his an- tagonlst. Both were covered with blood when taken to the police station. Police Surgeon Dr. Joseph H. Townsend took several stitches in the wounds of the prisoners.

gregation invited.

Thousands of men are afraid of the light ming, and yet not one man i'll ten thousand is ever killed by 1t. Few men are afraid of consumption, and yet 1t causes one sixth of all the deaths in the world. It is more deadly than either wars or pesti1ences. Any sort of wasting disease may lead to consumption. Any slight disorder of the respiratory organs may easily develop it. Weakness of the body, cancellation, lack of vitality are plain invitations for the germs of consumption Consumption is not entirely disease of the lungs. It is dis ease of the blood that shows itself most strongly in the lungs. It is not-as it used to be onsidered-incurable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has changed all that. It will cure ninety eight per cent. of all cases of consumption if taken i'll time. It is the most wonderful blood maker and flesh builder in the world It cures where doctors have failed. It has brought back to life hundreds of men and women who were considered as good as dead.
