That widely-traveled and judicial

Trollope, wrote to the LONDON TIMES
many years ago "Of all the sights on
earth Of ours which tourists travel to

The most gifted minds and acute
observers that have visited Niagara
Falls have been astonished and over
whelmed, not only by the majesty of
the power, and the grandeur of the
great cataract itself, but the numer-
Gus and varied scenes of beauty in its
vicinity. Many have written of the
increasing delight with which Mag
ara has been revisited, and many also
Of the increase of the appreciation of
these scenes the longer they are view
ed and dwelt upon.
No great natural wonder of the
world is so easy of access as Niagara,
which has given to the MICHIGAN
CENTRAL the title of 1.-THE Niagara
Falls Route" as the trains of that
railroad alone not only pass directly
by and In full view Of the great cat
aract, but all those passing by day or
by moonlight, stop five minutes at
this superb point of view from which
the Falls, the Islands, the Rapids,
and the broad river above, as we'll as
the boiling waters and the rapids
below, are In plain sight.
Should passengers desire to stop
over at Niagara Falls, provision is
made for such stopover on first-class
tickets, the particulars of which can
be learned upon application to ticket
agent or train conductor. This is an
opportunity that should be taken ad-
vantage of, II possible.

prise. The city has not been backward in
this respect for the past two years, but tho
conditions were not as favorable for new in
vestment in business blocks as at the pres

with the fine opportunities for the employ

secrets. This has forced lithography TO bet

Art work that was supposed TO be in the inn
possible list, is now done with almost the
speed attained in the old days in printing
ordinary business cards. There are several
printing firms in this city that can do as fine
work and as much of IL as any printing house
establishment in the country outside of n
few great city centers. The product embraces
wide variety. One firm had almost all the
New England theatrical show bill work and
its product OF posters was considered TO be as
good as the best. The wide ranse demanded
by the municipality can be done in several of
the offices and more than one establishment
can turn out books as large as the city direc.
tory and as excellent as the most modern
work of the leading magazines. As matter
of fact, the Job printers of Providence need
never fear competition in Workmanship. aud

Heating and Ventilation.

1t has come to be recognized that no trade
interest connected with the construction of
holdings, whether church. school, business
block, residence. or public building, has more
to do with the health and comfort of the peo-
pie at large than that of heat and ventila-
tion.
Rhode Island is conservative in many ways,
but the last five years has seen great awak-
ening along these lines, and today no owner
or live committee in charge OF the construc-
ton of a building of any one Of these types
would fail to give the matter careful consider
alton.
The question at once occurs: what is the
status of the local heating engineer and 10 he

Drugs and Chemicals.

Among the merchants of our city none have,
as class held more honorable position than
those who have been interested in the drug
business. There are few names connected
with the wholesale trade that recall the work
of men who were positive forced in the bust

Just the same as in the many other lines OF
trade the principal depot for the retail trade
OF the state are in this city. Local wholesale
dealers were at one time much troubled by
competition from outside the State but for
tunately Of late years the retail dealer has
realized more fully than was formerly the
case that thoro was great deal to be gained
by dealing near his home. The wholesale
dealer while he felt seriously the effects Of
outside competition did not sit down and act
as If he had lost all energy in his business.
but took measures TO change the current back
into Its natural channels, and his efforts
were so successful that today no branch OF
the wholesale trade is as firmly established in
this city "a Is trat which is here referred TO.
1t takes pretty active manager nowadays
to keep up with the many changes ever going

new remedies well as the discernment
required in purchasing them, relieves the

to some branches Of business life.

Inherent qualities, than any OF the other
competing beers.
This city, itself, In its saloon trade Is
also another marked instance of where
the beers made In this city have OBJ
tanned superiority over other beers. This
city, before most Of the present brew
cries were built, or raised to their present
perfeclions, was a favorite stamping
ground for all the Boston, New York and
New Hampshire breweries AMI wholesale
agents for other breweries even still
further away, especially so in the lager
beer line. Today there is comparatively
little outside lager used In this city, and
not because OF any other particular reason
than the inherent superiority of the pro-
duet ef the breweries of the city. Parties
not in the brewing business in this city
may naturally claim that this cobdi ion
OF business in this city an elsew here, and
particularly in this city. is due to the fact
that the local breweries have secured
mortgages on number OF the saloons
thus compelling them to use their pro-
duce but this is not in any marked sense
true, the brewers of this city claiming
that the day has gone by when they had
practically to buy chance to exhibit
the merits of their beers In tho most
prominent snn largest beer-using saloons,
and in this view q number of the retail
dealers seen by the present writer, unbi-
assed witness 5, agree. This ability on
the part of this city's breweries to com
pete favorsbly against all comers in this
market and elsewhere has not naturally,
been reached without considerable outlay
of both time and money, but now that
it has as a matter OF fact been reached the
city may be congratulated on having
within its precincts an industry, compris-
ing five large plants, giving employ ment
TO some 900 odd men, with a capacity of
about 2,250,0OO barrels, and making o.
healthy and as tasteful beer produced in
both its ale and lager line as can te
found in these New England states.

their line. The increased building activity,
confidently expected will insure profits that
can be relied on TO give an encouraging i'm.
petus There has been a radical change in
the style Of plumbers supplies so far as
wash bowls water closet furnishings, bath
tubs ETC., are concerned. The old-fashioned
boxed up furnishings have gone out Of date,
and the new style is being put INTO the new
buildings. and whers repairs are being made
the old gives way TO the new. In many cases
the old-fashioned bowls and bath tubs have
been taken out of houses and supplanted by
the new designs. Enameled bath tubs and
open bowls appeal 10 even the most careless
purchaser. The sanitary improvement and
the increased cleanliness Of all the surround
ings make the sale OF the now goods easy.
As matter OF fact il is very difficult to dis
pose OF the old.fashioned articles in stock.
There is a general demand for the new, there
fore the supplying dealers have met it and are
displaying fine line Of these goods They
have stocked up, believing that the demand
this year will be unusually heavy for these
particular supplies. Supplies for miscellane-
Gus repairing maintain the even tenor of their
way. There is no particular variation in the
demand anu supply and the increase goes
hand in hand with the natural growth OF the
city.
