OF PUBLIc KNOWLEDGE.

IL is matter Of public knowledge that.
today, the business interests Of Provi-
dence are denied the advantages Of the
new railroad arrnngen,nt., all completed
and ready for operation.
II is a matter of public know ledge that
the people who travel are, today, com
PEELED 10 put up with all the inoonven-
fence of a battered down DEPOT and
crowded train service.
When the business interests and the trav-
cling public will be afforded the opportu-
nifty of using the facilities that are all
ieady for use but the doors OF which are
locked, nobody can tell.
The public, when it gets down TO the
meat of tho fuss that has been raised,
chiefly by newspaper afflicted with n
very bad memory and a wobbling dispo-
sition together with reckless disregard
OF the public interests, will recognize
plainly that, but for tina extraordinary
bungling that has been done, they would
now be in possession OF the new depot
10 be sure, they would not have train
sheds to protect them. But, today, they
nave neither the train sheds nor the depot.
And no immediate prospect of having
ither or both

man was taking his turn telling where he
had first met his wife and how or, IL he
had not met her, then telling how he
would like to- At last they came to the
homeiiest man in the lot. and it seemed
hardly necessary 10 ask him for story,
