Among the questions considered by the
Current Topics club last week was, 1.-THE
Benefits of a University Education to a
Professional Man."
1t was thought knowledge of modern
languages, of International law and care
full study of the races of the earth were
necessity to one fitting for commercial life.
An education was considered faulty which
aroused only personal ambition. In this
connection were considered the difficult
ties which have been overcome in
introducing new departures in col
lege instruction, and the great
changes which have taken place in the
past quarter of century in the instruc-
lions given in universities today
Much of the morning was devoted TO the
discussion of Relations Between Russia
and England in the Far East"
A delightful sketch was given of the
causes which led to the building of the great
trans-Siberian railroad and the complica-
tions arising therefrom between China,
England, Germany and France. With
maps and charts the stages Of this compi-
Gated question were considered, and the
subject was closed with the appearance of
the United States at the Philippines and
her probable action In this intricate and
interesting question.
Next week Friday will close the sessions
of the club for the summer.

EAST PROVIDENCE.

There are some very happy men In town.
and they are the fellows who have always
stood by the old watchemoket engine. The
latter really had no need of any one to de-
fend II for years. II took the best prizes In
different parts OF thH. country anbitwas al
most as much fondicd as young mothers
babe. but there came time when
now machine was advocated and one was
bought. and the watchemoket was, hgura-
lively speaking, laid on the shelf, but luck
was not as fond of perching on the new ma
chine and the old retained its friends. Dur
ing the trials OF the past few nights prepara-
tory to the muster, the Watchemoket has
bcaten the new machine constantly, and
that's why life doesn't seem so much OF q
sham 10 some folks as II did. The real work
wr, come at Crescent Park tomorrow, and
the friends OF both machines are Just nervous
IN see how the contest will finish.

message that was received from the

ly more than a request for information
as to whether a challenge from the
Royal Ulster Yacht club would be agree
able to the New York Yacht club. A

infinite details before II can be consid-
cred as formal. IL must, according TO
our bylaws. contain the complete d.
mensions OF the challenging yachts.
along with other details. all OF which are
thereby fixed and cannot be altered.
The custom house registry Of the vessel
must also accompany the challenge"
Commodore j. Pierpont Morgan Is
quoted as saying that II Is possible for
Sir George Newnes or any other British
yachtsman to forestall the Royal Ulster
Yacht clubs challenge. should he so de-
sire. by cabling a challenge through the
proper channels. The earliest challenge
received by the New York Yacht club
will of necessity take precedence. the

A few general facts that have been
CLEANED from the work of the assessors
thus far are very interesting. One fact
is that the increase in real estate valu-

was the increase last year or the In
crease of 1897 over that Of 1896. This
means, VI tOuTSCs tttdt tiitic Afco ~
been as much building in the town this
year as there was last year The causes
for this are few and interesting. They
would take too much space TO discuss
here. Another fact Ia that the villages
that have contributed most towards the
increase are Edgewood and Arlington.
Edgewood has contributed most this
year; Arlington the second largest
sum. Fiskeville. Meshanticut Park,
Oak Lawn and Eden Park have con-
tributed very little towards the in
