A JOB FOR OUTSIDERS.


Outsiders carry this large and valua-
ble product 70 middle men in New York
and Boston and from those cities the
fruit of Rhode Islands energy. brains
and capital is sent TO their final points

Rhode Island isn't on the commercial
map at the present time.
Leading men of this community are

The export trade of the State Is in
consequential when compared with the
domestic traffic. Comparatively speak
ing, II is infinitesimal, yet there are
great possibilities.
Mr.. X. II. Deming. President Of tha
Board of Trade. said that there ought
10 be line OF steamers running from
this city to London or Liverpool and n
line OF steamers from Providence to
New York. When such a time comes
the States chief city will reach the
distinction IL ought TO be enjoying at
the present time.
Ex-Gov. Charles Warren Lppitt said
the same thing. A dozen of the States
foremost citizens gave expression to
the value of such an enterprise. They
know that by such a means goods could
be made cheaper here, that the manu-
facturers could compete with the men
who offer the lowest prices. that there
would be more profit, and that labor
would be in more demand and conse-
quently better paid.
This is not a new 5dea. II has been in
the minds OF the manufacturers for
many years. yet something has been
constantly in the way of its successful
carrying out
BEGINNING OF AGITATION.
The agitation in this particular respec-,
began TO be more than usually ac.
tive I'm 1881 when ex-Gov IAppitt was
President Of the Providence Board of

On March I, OF that year a commit
tee was formed TO see about the estab-
lishment of line OF steamers to carry
freight only from the port OF ProvJ.
dence. This action was provoked by
the combination of the Old Colony
Railroad Company and the New York
Steamer lines. Prices for freight were
considered exorbitant and the Board
OF Trade took the matter in hand.
The following resolutions presented
by the committee were adopted:

What the live manufacturer and busi-
ness man OF this community would like
20 see before the State loses entirely it's
producing identity a the factory and
counter right in our midst so that
Rhode Island capital and brains could
reap the full reward of its enterprise
without going TO New York, Boston or
any other large distributing point.
Providence ought TO be a distributing
point itself. IL has more and better
facilities for sending It's manufactured
products over this country into foreign
ports than two-thirds OF the cities that
bear the distinction.
The improved railroad facilities now
nearing completion, harbor fit to ac-
commodate any sized merchant vessel
and dock room enough to meet every de-
mand, together with a great open wa
ter way almost on the border of the At
lantic ocean makes a combination un-
surpassed by any city on the seaboard.
Wideawake business men say some

points of the country.

THE LEADING OCCUPATION.
Manufacturing is the leading occupa-

second in importance and fishing third,
while duarrying and mining are carried
on TO some extent.
The foreign commerce Is not exten-
sive. but IL is increasing an the Southern
countries. the West Indies and with
Europe. Here is where the men Of this
State hope TO develop their business;
where they expect to- get trade and the
way TO do II is the present problem.
TIE domestic commerce Is quite i'm
portant. especially in the coal business

the various railroads are engaged in

Just One Week More.

A staff of eminent physicians and sur
geons from the British Medical Institute,
Of Detroit, have at the urgent solicita-
ton Of lar number OF patients under
their treatment in thle county, established
permanent branch OF the institute in
Calumet, in the Agni.z block, over Grand

invalids who call upon them for treat
ment between now and November L.
These services will consist not only OF

condition whatever will any charge be
made for any service rendered, for three
months to all who call before November
L. Therefore, the most humble in cir
cumstances can avail themselves OF the
most expert medical skill and without
cost.
The doctors treat all forms OF disease
and deformity, and guarantee a cure in
every case they undertake. At the first
in erview a thorough examination is
made and if Incurable, you are frankly
and kindly told so, also advised against

The Banner Camp.

Mr.. Harry Whitnall, who is deputy
head consul OF the Modern Woodmen OF
America for this State, 10 meeting with
great success in this city in his efforts to
increase the membership of Seneca Camp.
de said yesterday that the membership
OF the local Camp would bes increased to
over 200 within a few weeks and he
would not be surprised il the figures
would go even higher than that.
The charter has been open lust one
month today and with what work he
has done and the combined efforts of the
old members OF the Camp, who did a
great dealof hustllng to increase the
membership, there will be ninety new
members coming in. IL may be decided
20 leave the charter open longer and
spend few more weeks in the work. as
Mr.. Whitnall Gays there is no reason why
Senaca Comp should not be the banner
camp OF the State. He says he has met
with every encouragement in his work
here and he has made it point to inter
view many OF the business men in regard
TO the order and has secured the names
OF all the prominent business men in the
city to ioin the camp. The young men,
especially, are interested in the order and
"a great many OF them are going to join.
At IshDeming Mr.. Whtnall succeeded in
running the membership up to nearly
200 and he thinks this field is way ahead
OF the iron country. He expects to have
the entire class ofnearly hundred men,
5ers Ioin at the same time and he expects
to hare team from the Dollar Bay
CAMP here to exemplify the work in the
'irst' degree. This will probably occur
sbovt'the early part Of next month.

WIFI Build nj Once.

The village council committee of Red
Jacket, haying in charge the erection OF
something suitable for storing city prop
erty, such as street sprinklers and the
like, during the winter. held meeting
last week and decided to 60 ahead with
the matter at once. The committee con-
sists OF Aldermen Miller and Lisa and the
president is also on the committee. but
he was unable to be on hand.
The two aldermen thought that it
would be advisable to have the building
erected at once before the snow comes
and then the matter would be attended
to in time. They decided to build a
structure on the village lot on Sixth
street where the pound is located. 1t
will be nearly fifty feet in length and
about twenty wide. The building will be
roughly built as 1t is desired to have it
as cheap as possible and still meet the
requirements.
The sprinklers are valuable village
property and come high and the council
thought that the village could well afford
the price OF a structure in which to en-.
close them, rather than leave them ont
in an open lot all winter where the ele.
ments are apt to make them useless.
The building will be built with an idea OF
having it last and, although it will be
erected as cheaply as possible, 1T will be a
permanent structure. Contractor Butler
will do the work and will commence at

The officers were formally welcomed to

Presbyterian church, President Viyian
being unable TO be present. They
took their places in the carriages
and Mrs. Booth. Tucker was called
upon for an address. She stood
ia che carriage and spoke for several
minutes to the large audience that had
assembled at the depot. The consul re-
Eerred TO her husband the commander
of the forces in this country by stating
that he had frequently spoken of what a
tine town Calumet was, and as this was
her first visit to the city she had already
formed about the same opinion of the
city and the people from the manner in
which they had turned out at the train.
Mrs. Booth-Tucker is a very pleasing
speaker, and although she had been tray

tourney, she gave an exceedingly fine ad-

Trikoupis and DeIyannis.

Fortunate it is, indeed, for Greece
that her passions are subject sometimes
to the orthman's check. In their sub
servience to the sway of impulse and
passion the Greeks are the veriest chill
dren. The only one oftheir own states
men who could long control or guide
them was Trikoupis, and he was half
Anglo-SaXon in blood, and almost en-
tirely English in training and temper.
His GOODNESS, his persistency of purpose
and his fine nationality, joined to an I'M
selfish love of his fatherland which no
one could mistake, gave him his power.
The intimate personal relations exist
ing between him and the king had been
the means of great advantage to the
state; and the breach between them,
due chiefly to personal and private mat
ters which have never yet been made
public, led to Trikoupis' fall and the
loss of the brightest political hope of
Greece. The immediate outcome has,
however, contrary to all expectation.
proved to be the great enhancement of
the political Importance of the king.
There are no great political leaders.
Delyannis, the present premier, is mere
ly practical politician, devoid of prin-
ciples or programmes. He has main
tanned his political life in the past by
catering to personal support and profit
ing by the mistakes of Trikoupis. His
programmes have been, as a witty
Greek put it, merely those of 1rikoupis
with misprints." The king can vir-
tually control Delyannis; therefore to-
day the king rules.-Benjamin Ide
