BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to Is a bona fide one.
1t Is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
tisers. by sending out thousands OF
papers to newsstands, which are re-
turnable. and which are in fact re-
turned. but nevertheless are In
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
Judge by results. and bogus circula-

ALL IS QUIET.
No More Trouble From the Italian
Sewer Workers.
A Number of the Strikers Applied for
Employment Today.

The determination Of Chief OF Police Baker
10 quell any disturbance caused by the ltal-
ians who have been employed on the different
sewers in the city, together with the arrest
and conviction Of Jacko Capo, one of the
leaders and the action of Patrolman Doe at
the Smith street sewer, gave the Italians 10
understand that no nonsense would be tole-
rated.
James Watson, foreman for W. f. Sherman
on Peace street, appeared to be the man the
laborers were the most dissatisfied with, but
this morning Mr.. Watson was met. by $50
Italians who wanted 10 go 10 work, and
from this number he selected the best OF his
old gang and sucn others as he thought would
DO Of any use, and set them at work at their
old wages. Tho men who heretofore had re-
ceiyed but 81 a day were not employed, and
will not be by Mr.. Watson at least, for he says
he can get all the good men, and more, he
needs for sl.25 day. not only Italians, but
other nationalities.
The trouble WAS brought about by number
OF leaders in Little Italy" who make living
from the income Of their countrymcn, and as
a batch of 2Oo or 800 arrived in the city a few
days ago the leaders are striving to get the
good will of the newcomers, hence the dis
cord.
There was crowd Of 800 or more at the
corner Of Spruce and Tefft streets last,'night,
and they were addressed by some OF the lead
ing spirits most Of whom told them not TO go
TO work until they had received certain
amount per day. This was received with a
cheer. but when one responsible business man,
an Italian, told them all TO go 10 work, even
IL they got only 80 cents day, and then to do
better a. they could, there were Kisses, which
were started by the leaders. II is said that
the italians will boycott the man who made
the statement that they had better take 81
cents day, but il they do the boycott will
rot last long. as the man in question is a
power among the Italians. He told them that
when he came TO Providence he got but 81
cents day. and now he is the proprietor of IA
bank aud owns a number Of houses.
There is detail of police at each Of the sew.
ers, but there is not, nor has there been, any
need of their services since Monday, and the
probability is that there will be none Rnless

PROMIssORY NOTES.

The promissory note Is in frequent use,
but ought To be more In use than IL Is.
Many long standing account In the feed
store. the dry goods store the grocer :,
butchers and bakers would be In much
better shape turned into a promissory note.
A note Is promise 10 pay money al
future day.
The best thing for a dealer, when he
notices customer tagging far behind,
and not able To settle his bill promptly
with cash is TO have a settlement OF the
account by obtaining his prOmissory note
and then begin anew, If 1t is desired to
continue credit.
The promssory note being transferable
can be handed over to sone other person,
should it be necessary, without weaken
ing the claim of the dealer upon his
debtor.
This use OF note clears up ledger and
saves annoyance, trouble and expense.
A promissory note need not be on n
printed form, nor Is it necessary that II
should follow certain specified language
provided the words used are clear enough
TO constitute promise TO pay. Ii is best,
however TO use printed form, which
can be obtained at any bank or stationery
store.
