Hotel.

Its hotels are the index to a city's char
acter. From them you can read very clear
ly and confidently whether IL is slow or
pushing, prosperous or unthrifty, enter
prising or apatbetic. We all rememb Der in
what estimation Providence was held by
the travelling public of further back han
a couple OF decades age. Ii was a common
habit among traveiing men TO amuse their
friends by describing the lowness OF this
town. But all that is changed now. The
Nsrragsnsett hotel has been built and has
put a stop TO this constant holding up OF
Providence TO the laughter and d~erision OF
sister municipalities. The Narragansett
hotel was completed and opened for BUSH
ness in 1873 and Ii marked a new aud
brighter era in the history OF the city. The
building ~itself.sis he finest i'm the city and
one of the best in the country. AS ii is TO-
DAY 1t will stand comparison with any in
this land OF magnificent hostelries. It's
300 rooms are elegantly furnished and
equipped with everything that can contri-
butte to tie comfort and pleasure OF its
guests. Its pariors are large and magnifi-
Gently furnished, while its cuisine Is OF The
highest order. All this has made IL one OF
tue mos. popular hotels in the country
with the best class of the travelling public.
-fho sptEuu1d reputation the MOTEL enjoys
today is due entirely TO the persistent. in

Humphreys has surrounded himself with

result is tEat his immense Establishment il

slightest Kind. The success which he has
achieved has been most worthily won and
there is none to wish him anything but

GOLD rom AUSTRALIA.
Two and n Half Millions Arrived on
the Monowai,

Two and n Half Millions Arrived on
the Monowai.
San Francisco, Oct. 26.-The steamer
Monowai, which arrived from Australia
today, has on board about So, 500, 900
worth of English soverelgns, consigned
to Assistant United States Treasurer
Berry, to be melted down and milled
into double eagles here and stored away
in the subtreasury.
About a month ago a shipment val
ued at 81, 500, 600 was received here
from Australia, and at that time Assist
ant Treasurer Berry was authorized by
the treasury department at Washington
to receive the coin at bullion value for
storage in the ~subtreasury and to accept
additional shipments to the amount of
&c., 900, 900. Soon afterward dispatches
announced that the second shipment
from Australia, amounting to 50, $780,.
600 bullion value, had started on its
way from Australia.
The treasure will be taken to the
mint where the gold will be tested for
weight and fineness and afterwards
either coined into $40 pieces or stored
in the subtreasury as bullion.
The gold thus shipped from Australia
is placed to the credit of merchants
who are buying in New York and
Europe to make up the balance of trade,
which is naturally in favor of New
York at this season. A dozen years
ago this plan was devised by Hugh
Craig and others, and by it the annual
saving in the exchange between here
and New York amounts to a large sum.
The next shipment, which will arrive
before the first of the year, will proba-
bly, be larger than either Of the two
preceding.

Fifth-The proclamation is only

houses and huts of laborers, the total
value being about So, 600, 900. Hun.
dreds of families are rendered homeless.
