He showed by the history of the legisla-
tiou concerning the bridge since its
origin that the town Of East Providence
haoJpaid Sl5 COO year which should re-
lease IL from any further expense on the
bridge forever.
The argument was made that of the
$50, 600 paid for the bridge by the city il
should be- computed how much can he
charged to the Union Railroad company,
before any attempt Is made 10 apportion
any expense on any towns.
Then after it Is determined how much
Pawtucket shall be charged. IL must he

If one-ffth should be found to be fair
snare for the town of East Providence,
then the special value will DO found by
sui tracing frol this the value Of the old
uridge 10 East Providence. The balance
will represent the special value of tho
new bridge.
Ihe argument Of Mr. Colwell, city So
licltor for the city of Providence gave n
careful history of the bridge from 1892,
and maintains that the bridge was built
especially for the trolley cars, and the
initiatory steps were taken by the lead
ing representative of East Providence
that while the city receives but a small
rart OF it's total benefits from its suburbs
from East Prov ideDce. while East Provi-

The teneiit and Use Of the bridge Ia taken
advantage OF chiefly by the people OF East
Providence that even the Providence
people who do use the bridge benefit
East Providence by bringing 10 into
prominence.
Moreover the beay lest teams that cross
the bridge come from East Providence
trolley cars have revolJtionied tho means
of travel between cities and towns. The
oil bridge was not suitable for trolley

costs AlJ 1t Is Worth.

The price anything brings in
the market is about what it is
worth, whether it is beef, petro.
leum, railroad stocks or gold.
Sometimes it is said of q com
modify it costs more to produce
it than it sells for. But, take one
thing with another. and the
market price is the value Of the
article. The man who brings .
sack of gold out of the Klondike
and sells it for SIG an ounce is
getting for it no more than it IS
worth, and no more than it cost.
Unless the new gold field does
better than it has yet, the ind
will prove an absolute loss, for,
while but $4,000, oooor So, DOC, 900
has been brought out of the re-
eion. it is estimated by reliable
authority that $4,000, 900 has
been spent in getting into the
Klondike country. or in trying to
get there All the gold taken
out of the Klondike is not sui
ficient to pay the steamer fares
of those who have set forth TO
share in the elusive fortune sup
posed to be hidden in the sands
of the Alaska streams.
OF course the tide is expected
to turn. The output next season
will exceed that of this year. But
at the same time, the exodus
from the States to the Territory
will increase and new men will
create new expenses for them
selves. If 10000 men go to the
Klondike next summer, taking
with them for their expenses aud
for a years sustenance $1,000
each, that will mean $4,000, 900,
a sum that must be brought out
of the diggings to make accounts
balance. The Klondike will
yield. some gold. But it will net
give it up for nothing. The ire
mendous expense attached to
getting the gold will make the
reward cost all it is worth and
perhaps a great deal more

Celebrated Murder Case.

The friends of Col. r. w. East
ham. Of Tucker county. have
failed in their attempt to have
Eastham's trial, for the killing Of
Frank Thompson. taken from
Judge Hollis circuit, and the
trial will take place at the county
seat Of Tucker. The counsel for
the defense claimed that Judge
Hollis instructions to the grand
jury were faulty. There were
indications that the former juries,
which failed to indict Eastman,
had been tempered with, and
Judge Holt very emphatically
expounded the law to the last
one before which the case was
taken, and assured them that if
there was any improper conduct
they would be severely dealt
with. Judge Holt was sustained
in the Supreme Court by Bran.
non and McWhorter. while Dent
and English held opposite views.
This made a tie, and the cause
remains as it was-before Judge
Holt. This case has become a
very celebrated one on account
of the fact that the murdered
man, Thompson, was an enthusi-
astic Republican and Eastman
was an uncompromising Demo
crat. Their dislike for each
other was for both personal and
political reasons. AS it now
stands the friends of Thompson
are fighting for Eastham's con-
viction, while the political friends
of Eastman are determined, If
possible, to have him acquitted.
Hon. A. g. Dayton and Hon. Jno.

nent attorneys employed to assist

Needless Worry About the Deficit.

The Democratic papers are
showing an alarm about the
revenue deficit which is not
shared by the Republicans or by
sensible Democrats. Probably
this shortage will be continued
through a large part, and per-
haps all, of October.
The very thing which is hap
pening was foretold by the Re-
publicans while.the Dingley bill
was before Congress. just as
soon as the extra session of Con-
gress was called, importers be-
gan to rush goods into the coun-
try far beyond the country's i'm
mediate needs, and to an e xtent
never before known in an equal
length of time. This. as every
one saw, and as the Republicans
often stated, necessitated a cor
responding shrinkage in impor-
tation for few months after the
Dingley act went into operation,
with a proportionate loss OF
revenue.

Die Young
Chaplain
From 0hristian Work..

~ g. :
From Christian Work.
one nightin 1925, clergy
man was taking tea with John q
Calhoun, then Secretary OF War
Suddenly Mr.. Calhoun said 70 his
gnest:
aWill you accept the place Of
Chaplain and professor Of ethics
81 West Point Il you will. ]
viii appoint you at once
The clergyman was Charles 2.
McIlvaine. then but rs years Of
age, and subsequently known as
the Bishop Of OHIO" He &C.
cepted the appointment because
West Point then had an unsavory
! reputation. There was not q
Christian among officers and ca
diets. Many Of them were
skeptics, aud the others were
coolly indifferentto religion. He
was received as gentlemen re-
4ceive q gentleman. but no one
showed the least sympathy with
him as q clergyman. For months
his preaching seemed as words
spoken in the air. His first en-
enlargement was an offensive
expression.
He was walking home from
church one Sunday q few feet in
advance of several officers. '.The
Chaplain's preaching is getting
hotter and hotter" he heard one
Of them say.
In q few days he received an
other bit of announcement. He
was dining with a company at
the house of an officer. A Lieu
tenant, a scoffer. hurled a bitter
sheer at clergyman. The Chap
lain left the table. The officers
threatened to send the Lieuten-
ant to coventry" if he did not
apologize. He called and asked
the Chaplain's pardon.
Another officer took offense at
one of the Chaplain's sermons
and wrote him bold avowal of
skeptical opinions.
The Chaplain seeing in these
incidents evidence that the chron-
lie Indifference was giving way to
opposition, persevered. But OPP
position was all the encourage
ment he received during the
year. Not a cadet had visited
him or even sought his acquaint-
anca.
But one Saturday, the only day
the cadets we're allowed to visit
an officer without special permits
sion, one of the most popular Of
the cadets knocked at the Chap
laln's door. He wished to begin
the Christian life then and there,
and asked for counsel. In a day
or two another cadet called on a
similar errand; then another and
another. Then several officers
came. Ameeting for prayer was
appointed twice a week. 1t was
the first public prayer meeting
held at West Point. Officers and
cadets crowded in, though all
who came professed thereby to
begin a religious life. At first
it required as much courage to
enter that room as it did to lead
a .forlorn hope.
One of the cadets was Leonidas
Polk. afterwards Bishop of
Louisiana. Intelligent, heightened
and commanding in person, he
was the conspicuous cadet. See.

dainty patent leather boot on the carriage
step, she exclaimed in tones of delight,
and so distinctly that both men heard
her: CLOVIS this for piece of tremen-
dous good luck? The horrid old thing
wasn't home, and l won't have to call
again until Lent is over!'
The others congratulated and off they
drove. The elder of the two men-a
"gentleman of the old school'-turned to
his companion and sighed, as he asked:
"1s society nowadays as hypocritical as
that girl, only in her first season, who ac-
cepts invitations from the woman at
whose house she just left her card, and
yet can speak of her in such tones?
sis there no more genuineness IN Wis
iting and in friendships formed within
the exclusive social circles?''
This brings to mind what some great
orator said once:
''The church is too large to hold my ac-
quaintances; the pulpit too small to hold
my friends"
