The largest audience Of the season &C
the Auditorium was present last evsniner
10 listen to the very acceptable concert
given for the benefit Of tho Pawtucket
Letter Carriers Association
From . glance at the audience it WAS
very evident that the work OF these faith
full public servants was Appreciated, sad
that the business and general public were
glad to take advantage of the opportunity
to assist the carriers by literally patronix-
ing their concert.
The following artists appeared In a Va
ried program, and found an appreciatfve
audience: Miss Jennie Corea, soprano;
Miss Jennie Mae Spencer, contralto; Miss
Edna Louise Sutherland, recitsr; Miss

BASEBALL In PAwTUCKET
"PHENOAfENAL" SMITH TO AOALN
BE MANAGER OF THE TEAM.
The Matter Of New Grounds Discussed at the
Meeting Of Directorate Board Yesterday.

A meeting of the directors of the Paw
tucket Baseball Club was held yesterday
afternoon, when affairs relative to the
coming season was talked over.
For the past several weeks there has been
more or less talk that successor would be
chosen for Manager Smith, but 1t appears
that the stories were manufactured out Of
whole cloth, and that the men behind the
team had no idea of making a change.
Fred Doe among others was included
among the possibilities.
Manager Smith will again have charge
OF the team and the prospects for most
successful season appears bright. The
subject of new location of grounds was
informally discussed. There is senti-
ment In favor of making a change to the
Pawtucket Driving Park, but whether this
feature will materialize Is a matter of con-
lecture. Now that the street railway has
extended its track to the very gate and
good service can be given, 1t would not be
surprising II there was a change In loca-
ton. The Dexter street grounds. while
centrally located, have their bad features.
Great interest Is manifested in the move
ments Of Fred Doe this year. New Eng
land does not want to see him out of base
ball, as he Is a big card. Doe could have
had the Taunton franchise, but preferred
not 10 tackle that problem. He has an
offer from Fall River to play second base
and captain the team and may accept the
same. Doe may not have pleased every
body in baseball but he is a worker.
The Pawtucket team waived claim to
John 8. Merriman, of Philadelphia, SO that
Newport should have him

A FORCEFUL DISCOURSE
REV. Mr.. LAW ON LNFLDELITY y"
AT GRACE CHURCH, LAWRENCE.


Rev. Marion Law, who has been cOn-t
Quoting a mission service with other
clergymen of the Episcopal Church al
Lawrence, Mass, is expected to arrfve
home this evening. The reverend gentle
man addressed the service for men At
Grace Church in that city Sunday aftw-~
noon, speaking from the themes ''In-e
fidelity" and sBy Their Fruits ye Shsu
Know Them" Touching upon Inger-
sollism Rev. Mr.. Law said that he thought,
Ingersoll's methods are those OF bias
phemy and ridicule rather than that OF
logic. In western city DIR. Talmage de-
livered a lecture and although the city
was crowded, yet there was but one arrest
that night. Shortly after Ingersoll gave
a lecture i'm the same city and 1t was again
crowded, but on this occasion there were
twenty-five arrests.
BY their fruits ye shall know thcn-
The private life OF lngersoll is said ~
be above reproach and II Is undoubtedly
true. But why should 80 much emphasis
be placed on that fact?
The whole secret Of his power is that
he tells men what they want to hear
What are the fruits of Jesus Christi
From the tomb, where the Jews thought
they had closed his mission has gone
forth every movement that has benefited
and uplifted mankind.
At the evening service the spacious edf-
flee was crowded and great interest was
shown. His subject was, "On this rock
shall build my church, and the gates OK
hell shall not prevail against it."
My sermon this evening, said tho
speaker, is intended for those who wish to
live a life of righteousness, but do not
seem to feel that 1t will be necessary t.
join the church.
1t is a standing miracle, that after 1901
years of the most terrible persecution from.
the heathen outside and from schisnG
within, the church is stronger than evsr
before. Is
The battle of good and evil Is always
raging I'm the hearts OF men, and Christ
came to organize the ferces Of good. Christ
knows more than you or do, and He
founded the church to help His followers
Christ came to organize the church
which stands for an organised effort far
good. With all her faults. the churoA
stands for purity, high ideals and right

GRACEFUL ACT.

Mr.. Haskell Invites His Employees to Din
ner at Noon.
Yesterday morning William II. Haskell
instructed his foreman to go through the
shop of w. II. Haskell d Co., and invite
all those who desired to take dinner at the
Park Place Church parlors at noon. All
the men in the shop who had not brought
their dinners went over at noon, and were
met at the door by Mr.. Haskell, who pro-
vided them all with tickets, and a well
served meal was enjoyed. This was COM
plete surprise to the employees. This is
the second time that Mr.. Haskell has given
his employees pleasant surprise, and the
result Is that the feelings OF good will be-
tween employer and employe is of a nature
to lead the men employed by the company
to treat Mr.. Haskell with uniform esteem
and respect.

BEAUTIFUL SCENE.
A Very Pleasurable Social
Event Held Last Night
Under Auspices Of Shartenberg
&Robinson Relief Association.
Remarkably Successful Affair With q Large
Atteadance- Many Prominent Quests.

The Shartenberg d Robinson Mutual
Relief Association gave their first enter
tainmen: since their organization last
evening, and called it their first grand
ball. They were perfectly correct in 80
naming 1t, for it was grand ball, and the
association, from being known to the out
side world by the occasional mention In
the daily papers, has suddenly become one
OF the social fixtures of the town.
When the fact Is taken into considera-
tion that the organization has been but
short time organized, and that the mem
bers had never worked together in SINH
Lar line before, it Is hardly sufficient to
drop the subject even though it be called
an unqualified success.
The arrangements even to the most
minute detail showed the careful planning
and cooperation Of willing workers in
the society's interest, and the fact was
very apparent that to the lady members OF
the organization the brilliant success OF
the affair was in no small measure due.
Seldom have the assembly rooms OF Music
Hall presented more animated sight
than was witnessed from the galleries iast
evening, when the ball was at its height,
and one thing is certain, the ball given by
the association last evening will be re-
membered as one Of the social successes OF
the season.
Guests were present from New York,
Boston and Providence, and the gowns
worn by the ladies were varied and hand
some.
A pleasant happening of the evening
was the receipt by the president of the
association of o telegram from Mr.. and
Mrs Robinson. who are at present in New
York, regretting their absence and ex-
tending to the association their best
wishes for pleasant time. Mr.. and Mrs.
Shartenberg and Henry Sharrenberg were
present, and these facts indicate the in
terest taken by the members of the firm in
the enjoyment Of their employees. Ex-
Mayor and Mrs. Henry T.. Tiepke and
other guests OF prominence were also in
attendance.
The evenings entertainment was opened
:. BY an excellent program provided by the
members Of the FaIstaff Club of Proyi-
dence. Many Of the friends of the asso-
citation, who did not care for the dancing,
attended the concert and were amply re-
paid for their trouble. During the pro-
.ress of the concert fully 300 people were

In NOMINATING j. b. Meserve, of
Florence, for district attorney the Rep.
ublicans have made no mistake. In
this connection It might be in order to
say that the Republicans do not have
TO look back upon record of errors.
mistakes and broken promises. but this
reflection is not needed to prove the
truth of the foregoing remark.
} b. Meserve is a lawyer of ability. a
man of integrity and is a candidate
with good chances. He has the energy
of youth and the ambitiou of a rising
young man. There is not a man In the
race better qualified to hold he respou-
sible position of district attorney. aud
there is not candidate who STANDS
better and will receive u larger support
in his home community than Mr. Me-
serve will in Florence.
There is no reason why Mr. Meser We
should not be the next district aitor-
ney,. He has two opponents, one a life
long Democrat. the other a Pepulist.
Both may be good men, but not in a
single particular is either better quail
fled for the position than the RepnbIi-
ban candidate. Three years ago the
present district attorney. who was sup
ported by both the Populists and Dem
ocrats. was only elected by smal
majority With that force divided be-
tween two candidates what could not
the Republicans do II they would ?
They could certainly put Mr.. Meserve
into Office with majority that would
surprise all
