A PROMISE.
Real Estate Sensation in
This City.
An Experts Opinion of Local
Possibilities.
Providence Offers Big Field for
Profitable Investment.

"Tbere will be another sensation In
said a. gentleman to a NKws reporter this
| afternoon. "The trouble has been with
this city that too many OF it's men with
money had their eyes shut to the possi-
bilities of first class investment lying at
their own doors. They were perfectly
willing to send their cspital To the West
for investment in all sorts OF wild goose
schemes, in the hope OF large returns for
their money, but the bottom dropped out
OF nearly everything in the west and great
loss has been the result. With the same
confidence in home investments and will
ingness to let money earn a tair return,
this city could have ben wonderfully
this town occupied by rookeries that are
q disgrace to the community. First class
business blocks ought to occupy the
ground, some of Ii directly in the heart of
the busy business center.
"There, for instance, pointing to the
two right hand corners of Wey ybosset and
Dorrauce streets, are two OF the finest
fargo HHu OlOCkS
that any city In the country could bosst
OF, yet you see they are occupied by
buildings that went out of date years
ago. Take the left hand side across from
the fine Nara gsnsett Hotel, what better
location DO you want than that? This is
only Wmple OF the opportunities
offered for good investment. II this idea
had prevailed several years ogo, IL tho
cspital of Providence had been put out
literally, the city would now be disput-
ing Boston's claim to superiority and at
tracing outside attention and drawing
enterprises here. II would benefit all
sorts OF business and make tie beautiful
town the pride Of New England.
Probably you have heard apout the
possibility OF robblng Peter to pay
Paul, so TAR ss these fine new buildings
are concerned. The cry is .nat IL they
are occupied some other BUILDING will
suffer in consequence. That would be

Teeth Down His Throat.

MIDDLETowN, N. ", Jan. Frank
Bloomer, a night attendant at the State
Hospital, iu this city, swallowed his
false teeth, and all efforts to recover then
without resorting to an operation have
been unavaiIing. Bloomer was awakened
by the teeth slipping down his tbrost.
Physicians have attempted to remove
the teeth by mean, Of suction through a
rubber tube, but in this they fsilsd. and
their attempt only served to put the teeth
In more dangerous position. Then the
physicians tried to dissolve the rubber
composition by internal applications, but
this also failed. Arrangements are now
being made to have Bloomer operated on
in New York hospital.

FUSIONISTS.
May Be a Cooperation in
April Election.
Democrats Want Their Lead
erS to Show Signs of Life.
An Explanation of Republican Delay
on Revision.

Mem bers OF the Democratic party In
Rhode Island, who pretend to care
whether their side wins or not are of the
opinion that they never bad better op-
portunity to make good fight than they
have now and they chafe at the apparent
disinclinstion of their leaders to take ad-
vantage OF It.. these Democrats who are
tired OF the inactivity of their State Cen
trail Committee point to the result of the
recent municipal elections ss an example
OF what can be done by hustling. lhey
assume that members OF all political par
ties are ready to join forces in the inter.
ests of reform and make an effort to re-
wise the State constitution and they want
some sort OF fusion ticket I'm the spring
election. With this end in view the
Municipal League of Psovidence and
similar organizations in the other four
cities are willing to cooperate with the
Democratic state central Com mittee and IL
this organization regards the wishes OF
the voters behind it, will vote to accept
the offer.
The first argument which the Fusion
lists are confronted with is that the Re-
puhlicans will take the credit for every
thing In advance and recall the fact that
at the last SESSION OF the Assembl a
Republican senator introduced a resoIu-
tion.providing for the appointment OF. Q
commission on revision OF the constitu-
tion and that IL was passed by the Sem
ate. That Is as far ss IL got, however. and
there is suspicion in the minds OF those
who lay considerable stress on the nccss-
sity OF revision, that the Senate resolu-
tion was bluff and passed by the UPPER
branch with the understanding that II
would oe hung up In the House. II 10

Republican party who control the Leeis-
lsture will not allow the House to pass

occupy dirty, dingy office when a
bright, clean one can be hired for the
same money? Perhaps il would be q good
| idea to let the owners OF unimproved
property suffer little for not keeping up
| to the times.
"As q matter OF fact this fear of over
| stocking the market OF offices has no
good ground to stand on. Take the new
Banigan building for instance. No one
has heard OF any recent hardship, because
that handsome structure was opened to
the public New Years day. My word
for 1t, there will DO no trou BILE from this
fancied evacuation of other premises to
fill up this BUILDING. The Bsnigan block
has s0l offices, thebuilding is not com
pleted, yet almost q half of the space is
already occupied. The building will be
deserted by workmen by February, and il
Will not be long thereafter before 1t will

place. While II is now nearly half taken,
no one has heard OF any exodus on the
part Of tenants from other buildings.
"The block IS a credit and an advertise
merit for the city, and has attracted more
attention fr om strangers than any one
thing in the confines OF the town. The
semo cry regarding the overproduction
OF office room was raised when the hand
some new Industrial Compsny's building
was opened to the public. This struc-
turs has $50 offices and every ono IL oc-
cupied. Ii is the second most imposing
building in the town and bas been popu-
lar from the very first. No one has heard
OF any serious harm to the city si
this big structure filled up.
"Jhe Butler Exchange is the third
most important Office building, size con-
sldered, in the city, and II is nearly all
occupied by stores and offices. There are
more than hundred tenants and its de.
