Durfee Street.

AS stated in THE NEWS yesterday the
members of the state .armory commission
are of the opinion that the strip of land
known as Durfee street would make a de-
sirable addition to the valuable and alto
gether desirable lot which they have al
ready secured for the State at the remark
ably low figure of 5000.
The lot which has been purchased Is 100
feet wide and 4s0 feet long, a sufficient
area in itself fer the arrnory, such as
Rhode Island wants, especially as the
best armory in Boston is but 120 feet
fee street, however, is from the fact that
1t would allow of greater space tetween
the front OF the building and the line of
the street.

running against ii and the rear wheel OF a
night lunch cart is disagreeably near it
every night.

interesting questions from the Question

tween bachelor girl and and old
maid is one of years only-the di-
viding line being at twenty-five" Mr..
William Brady, accompanied by the guitar
sang two of his popular airs in his inimit-
able style. The greatest interest, however
appeared in the debate. The popular young
parson maintained so persuasively and so
forcibly that Conscience is correct moral
guide" that he carried conviction among
the voting part of the audience. The "press"
was not in it and even Lord Chatham with
all his eloquence could not convince that
PauPs conscience, which he said was
always good, had led him into moral
wrong when he prosecuted the early Chris
tians even unto death, or that the Hindoo
mothers conscience is other than correct
moral guide though it leads her to sacrifice
her babe to false gods.

colored man. to advocate his cause. He
began by abusing local Republicans, then
declared Senator Higgins is not Repub-

said, II would not disgrace my house by

His abuse of Republicans and of Senator
Higgins especially bought protests from the
coiored people but his views of the Martyr
President met with Indignation and he
was not allowed to proceed further. The
GOODNESS Of several colored men saved him
from the pu unishment such unpatriotic SEN

was no doubt of the loyalty of the colored
men to the Republican Organization before
but this Addicks advocate made them
doubly loyal. Neither paid Addicks advo-
