Row of Pins what other clo-
thiers say. With all possible re-
spect to their veracity there isn't
a store anywhere-we honestly
believe-that offers even with
their so-called Bargains" or
"One- Half-Off Sales" the big
values that we do. Ifyou ques-
ton us we'll tell you a way of
proving it. Take a trip around
town, try all the bargain stores
having their so-called Special
Sales, learn their prices, then
come to us, learn ours, and you'll
soon see the difference between a
Genuine Clearing-Out Sale and
the everyday fake.
This week we want to clear
out about $50 Black and Blue
Cheviots. Their values range
from SO. 80 to SIS. Here's how
we propose doing it:
Any of our $3.50, SO, and $40
Black or Blue Suits now $5.25.
Any of our $11. SIP, and SIS
Black or Blue Suits now $3.50.

An Unusual Street Scene.

Think OF sleeping out in the Mount
Pleasant woods last night and then walk
ing in stocking feet and with a white cot
ton cloth head covering to the corner OF
Washington and Clemence streets early
this morning.
Peter McGarr did that and he is almost
60 years old at that. Peter was recently
discharged from the employ Of +. Lewis
for whom he navigated an ash cart, since
which, time he has been a "waif" aad
sheds and barns were palatial enough dor
mitories for him. But last night he
thought he would emulate Napoleon or
Charles XII of Sweden, so lie took to the
woods. lie arose at q. M, and first
pulled on q white stocking and then a
black, tied his white cotton esrlaps under
his chin and started for Mr.. Lewis store
on Washington street. lie attracted such
a N isy crowd with his queer makeup
nd e'ysipelss face that Mr.. Lewis order
ed him out. Mrs. Frank Merrill then
cared for him at 73 Washington street,
and one Sphinx, employed by Billings
Brothers, gave him pair of shoes. Po-
liceman William III. Merrill then sent
Peter to the Charity building and it Is
said he may die as a result Of his impru-
dence.

TODAYS WEATHER.
A Lifting Breeze from the West Was Very
DiSagreeable.

We have had weather today, accom-
panied by lifting wind, one OF those
cyclonic breezes which more frequently
occur in March than January. il was so
lifting that after almost tearing the city
hall flag into sbreds Ii wound ii around
the flag staff so tightly that 1t took the
four jsnitors TO haul the ensign down,
aud one Of them, Walter Alexander, mar
rowly escaped being blown from the roof.
Pedestrians realized that the wind was
blowing and lifting, and several pecks
of dust were swallowed by eyes, ears,
noses and mouths, and hat chasing be-
came general. Yet it only blew little
over % miles an hour.
The thermometer yesterday moon regis
tered 45lo above ana this noon 1t regis
tered but 20 above. This was at the top
of city hall, and but little variation was
noted all day.
A peculiar thing about the wind Is
that il has lowered around west ever
since the first, changing from southwest
Yesterday afternoon to northwest this
morning, while during a large part of last
December, when 1t was quite warm, the
wind was due north.
The meteorological report for last month
is cut and shows the mean temperature
to have been 30. 2. while the mean i'm 1884
was 32. S. The mean average for Decem-
Der for Is years is 32.9 degrees. Last
month, too, it was clear four days, fair
II, and rain or snow fell on IL days, the
total rainfall being 2.7S inches and the
snow fell Inches. a year ago IL inches
of snow fell in the same month and 5.62
inches Of raii.

The present cold wave is welcomed by
the ice dealers, who have not cut POUND
OF ice so far this winter. 1t will take at
least a week and probably more OF this
sort OF weather to get the ice 10 proper
thickness for cutting; that is, from ten TO
twelve inches. Thinner ice th6n this is
sometimes harvested, but II is only at
the tell end OF an unusually ope, winter,
when there is little prospect OF securing
better crop. AS between 125, 600 and
40, 600 tons OF ice are required for this
market il will be seen that the ice ques-
tion is u very important one. or course
there are artificial ice plants bere, but
they are OF limited capacity and their
total product would be but Insignificant
compared with the total OF tho require
ments OF the people. Another point is
that artificial ice, while ii is doubtless
purer than the natural article, is not so
highly valued by mRrketmen and other
large users because OF its extreme hard
ness and slowness in melting, which
makes the cooling power much less than
that OF natural ice.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-01-04

bers OF the committee felt that, while 1t
would be wise to provide free text books
for the pupils in all the grades up to and
including the grammar grade, II would
not be necessary to extend 1t further.
MIR. Joslin combated this idea very
vigorously and stated plainly that unless
the high school was included he
would oppose the entire measure.
He pointed out that il was Just
as much the duty OF the city to promote
the attendance of the Children OF poor
parents at the high school as at the lower
grades. To refuse TO provide free text
books for the pupils OF the highest grade
would look, whether so intended or not,
like discrimination against the children
OF the poor-a thing which should not
be tolerated or given even the suspicion
or color OF truth. Finally Mr.. Joslin
won, and the system was made to en-
brace schools OF every grade. In this con-
nection il Is worthy OF note that Provi-
dence had introduced free text books in
all her schools several months before the
General Assembly made such action CON-
pulsory on the part Of all the cities and
towns In the State.
