Providence, July 20, 1897.
To the Providence News
have been much interested in the articles
that have appeared in the News from time
to time about money brokers, as they are gen
orally called. Hogs,N think, would be better.
About two years ago "A very dear friend OF
mine borrowed $50 of very popular man do
ing business in Providence. The interest was
per cent. Things happened IN such way
that she was unable 10 pay anything the
principal for six months, and was obliged 10
pay each month $500 Time passed on aud she
paid $40, leaving $40 due, on which she is still
paying interest of 81 80 each month She IL "a
poor woman, and few months ago wrote to
the broker asking him as an act of charity to
cancel the debt, as she had paid so much more
than she borrowed He answered that he
must have the original amount in order to
lend again. Now IL stands like this: She has
paid in interest SOS, SO in cash and still owes
$40. Is there no helpY
A READER OF THE NEWS.
The leading attorneys OF Rhode Island
agree that it is shameful and admit that
Rhode Island Is notorious for the freedom
with which money loaners NAV demand
exorbitant rates of interest.
In many other states the law offers
protection to the borrowers and I'm Massa-
chusetts statute that provides against
interest OF more than one and one-half
per cent per month has been in force
since May ~, 1883.

THE GOLD CONVENTION.
Twenty-six States and Five Territories
Represented.

Twenty-six States and Five Territories
Represented.
Denver, July S.-The first Information.
al Gold Mining convention began its
sessions yesterday in the Broadway
theater, under the most encouraging cir
cumstances, and amid great show of
interest and enthusiasm on the part of
the delegates present. Twenty-slx states
and five foreign countries were repre-
sented at the initial meeting of the min
ing men of the world; steps were taken
to make the organization permanent
one and the delegates concluded the
days work feeling we'll repaid for the
time and trouble expended in coming to
the convention. EVE BOZ
When the convention was called to
order there were representatives from
all parts of the United States, the Re-
public of Mexico on the south, from one
South American and three European
countries. The promoters of the con
vention were equally as much surprised
as the visiting delegates to find that their
efforts had been so far successful as to
draw such good representation from
different parts OF the world. Every dele
gate IN the convention who had an op.
portunity to express himself was san
gulne of much resulting good from the
first Gold Mining convention of the
world.
The convention was first welcomed by
Acting Mayor Scobey, and then Cover.
nor Adams delivered the address of the
day.
A permanent committee on organiza-
ton was appointed as follows: r. F.
Hunter, Colorado; Hon. Charles Towne.
Minnesota; Mrs. L. B. Lansing, Cali
fornia; Governor Prince, New Mexico;
Lamar Cobb, Georgia; Rudolph Dali
myer. M ssouri; H. "A. Clapp, Michigan;
]. G. Hurley, New York; J. S. Carr, North
Carolina; Victor Barud, Ohio; ]. X.
Hedges, Pennsylvania; Argus N. Cannon
Utah; General Ybarra, Venezuela;
William Stenger, Wyoming.
The women formed large part of the
c convention and were soon in evidence;
the speech making was not over with
until Mrs. Mary c. c. Bradford had been
called upon to welcome the visitors tor
her sex. General Ybarra, the repre-
sentative of the Venezuelan govern
ment was very popular among the dele
gates and demanded large share OF the
attention. He was honored with one of
the offices of vice president of the per-
manent organization and displayed his
speech making ability and pleasing ways
in neat little speech of acceptance.
Ex-Governor L. Bradford Prince of New
Mexico was chosen president of the or
ganzation and Irwin Mahon secretary
Among the delegates are many sub
stantial butiness men of the country,
some of whom are largely interested in
mining enterprises in their respective
states. Last evening was spent by the
delegates as the guests of the Colorado
Mining Stock Exchange, who entertain
ed by smoker.

Washington, July S-Estimates as to
the possible time that the tariff confer

at about three weeks. Aldridge, Allison

part at the meeting, believe tina: it will

amendments to the pending measure,
than ever before to any tariff bill, and
some of them are very embarrassing ones.

no understanding whatever reached on
the subject by the members.

She lived to see her son elevated to the
highest civic office in the world-the
leader Of a great and a free people
and she died conscious that she hat
not lived in vain.
