A GOOD BREEZE.
Warm Weather Discomfort
May Be Overcome.
Handy Cooling Off Facilities
at Little Cost.
A Hundred Miles and Thirty-0ne
Different Ways 10 Go.

You can get a lot OF comfort for little
nights.
Citizens are gradually learning that
fact and it is becoming apparent to those
who direct their attention to the street
cars that travel has increased very much
within the past dozen days, especially IN
the evening.
No matter how bad the heat conditions
are, or how stagnant the air Is In narrow
streets, a fine preeze can always bo en-
joyed on tire Cars.
It's great cooling eff apparatus.
providence has delightful facilities in
this resr ect, and the comfort seeker can
travel hundred miles over tho various
street car routes that traverse the city
and suburbs in all directions for a very
small sum, compared to the respite from
discomfort afforded bv this means.
Try ii once and see IL the scheme to
escape from heat can be paralieled any
other way for 10 cents The NEWS Is
not advertising the Union Railroad Com
pany, but simply giving pointer TO
sweltering humanity. There are a good
many pers ons who have not realized the
pleasure of riding merely to escape
dampening a shirt waist or willing a
collar.
There are a hunured miles OF road bed
| and 81 different car routes in this city as
follows: Eddy street, Ocean street,
Prairie avenue, Friendship street, Broad
street, Auburn, Elmwooc, Cranston, Dyer
avenue, Knigbtsville, Plaintield street,
Thornton, Hartford avenue, MaDton
and Comfortable, Mount Pleasant,
Smith Hill and Centerdale, Branch ave-
nue., Admiral street, four different
routes to Pawtucket, Camp street,
Rumford, Phillipsdale, East Providence
via Taunton avenue, Brook and Governor
streets, Brown street and Riverside and
Crescent Park.
The longest route is to Crescent Park,
seven miles and halr, aud the shortest
is Ocean street, about two miles. All
the other routes average about four m lies
each, making total OF nearly 100 miles.
Some of the rides are exceedingly at
tractive and nearly all fancies and tastes
can be catered to. IL the rider likes a
view OF crowded tenement quarters, cars
are always handy TO take one there. II
green pastures and foliage-covered land.
scapes are the things sought for, several
of the routes will crafty the eye in that
respect. If factories and quiet villages
are pleasant to contemplate, take a troll
ley car. In fact any kind of urban oI
suburban life and scenery is constantly
on tap and ten cents will buy gooc
view OF it. An eight mile ride with q
beautiful breeze thrown in for two nick
els isn't very much Of tax to any on'
knowing what comfort is.

This decision was arrived at only
after a warm fight, and only GA votes
were cast upon It. although there were
over 125 delegates in the convention.
The other delegates Wearled OF the
quarreling and squabbling and retired.
The Endorsement of Mckinley by the
narrow majority of four votes shows
that in this campaign the negroes are
not going to vote blindly, as race, for
the Ohio man. The vote Mckinley re-
ceived was his full strength, and it was
only one third of the number in the
convention The Endorsement secures
no additional strength for Mckinley.

Ave cents an ounce. 1t has not cheap

Fifth-This sentence causes me to
think you do not desire to do what is
right, even so far as lies in your power
SHOULD we come upon a silver basis
your policies for the present would be
paid in dollars worth to your families
only about fifty cents; and the great
bulk of them would probably be paid in
dollars worth not more than twenty
five to thirty-five cents" What money
/ have paid in has been on gold basis
You do not say you will pro rate the
gold, or its equivalent. on hand; but you
do say that in case there are cheap
dollars you will make use of the cheap
est to cancel policies. To my mind TINS
is more dishonest than you accuse the
silverites of being.
SIXTH hold that this clause of your
circular is misleading and untrue: Sill
Yer men have long been carefully anu at
great expense organizing their scheme
politically by bringing into camp all the
discomfort, the jealousy. envy and hat
red which the unwse, unthrifty, impro-
vident, idle. and self-indulgent are sup
posed to harbor toward the self-restrain-
ed. industrious. careful. saving, thrifty,
and wisely proVident." Silver mine own
ers have emphaticaIY denied paying
out money for schemes here attributed
to them. and l choose TO believe them in
stead of you. ] know they have never
attempted coercion. as is being practiced
wholesale at present by wealthy money
lenders like your company.
From the above conclusions which l
have drawn from your circular, you
will see why I make a request for what
money have paid in, and agree to waive
any right to interest in order to get it.
I want to invest my money in a corpor
alton that does not believe the Ameri-
can people need to be coerced into any
line of policy dictated by foreign coun-
try. Yours respectfully.

Record Here


When the examination of Joe Brink
ley on a charge of burglary was called
in the police court yesterday motion
was made by Deputy District Attorney

He has been out of states prison but
q few months and drifted back to the

very good chance of going back to see
his former associates for a second term.
