Defies the Police

The celebration Of Chinese new year
was too much for Robert Allen, a di-
minutive negro, and filling up on some
patent beverage he went to Chinatown
and exercised his lungs by yelling oaths
at the Celestials who would not admit
him to their stores. He was locked up
for disturbing the peace, and in Justice
Morrisons court yesterday he pleaded
not guilty and demanded jury trial.
He declared he would give the police all
the work they wanted in convicting him.
The case will be tried Tuesday.

They Hitched Too Long

The police have not ceased their cru
sade against the violators of the hitch

four arrests. The effect of the present
work of the police in that direction is
just what the officers desire, e,viz., to make
the owners of teams more careful in
their observance of the law. Those ar

Harry Howard Drowned
in Warwick Pond.
WAS A GOOD SWIMMER.
Did Not Come to the Surface After
He Jumped From the Boct.
LONG SEARCH FOR THE BODY.

Harry Howard, a colored waiter at
the Lakeview House, which is located
on the shores of Warwick pond. was
drowned in the pond yesterday morn
ing. He dived from a boat and never
came to the surface, and must have
been stunned by striking the bottom or
seized with cramps. Howard, who had
worked at the hotel for about six
weeks, went into the water every morn
ing. and yesterday. about $3.50 O'Clock
he, as usual. took the boat, and. In COM
pany with Lloyd Mitchell. another
young colored waiter. went out for a
swim.
In front of the Warwick Ice Com
pany's houses the water is about Is feet
deep, and there Howard prepared to go
in, Mitchell remaining In the boat TO
guard Howard's clothes and give him
assistance IL needed. Howard stood up
in the boat and dived over the side into
the clear, cold water. Mitchell watched
and wondered idly where his friend
would come up. The seconds seemed
like minutes, and the minutes like
hours but still the swimmer did not
appear on the surface. Finally MICH
ell began to realize that something had
happened, and almost paraly1ed with
terror he managed to get the boat to
the shore, where he alarmed those In
the hotel.
An attempt was made at once to re-
cover the body, but 1t was some time
| before graphing irons could be secured
and the work begun. The town authori-.
| ties of Warwick were notified. and
| Town Sergeant Elihu r. Shippee of
| Centreville arrived during the morning
| and directed the work. Coroner job S
| Carpenter of Cowesset also came, but
went away again after waiting some
| time for the recovery of the body. Al

went down was easily located, great

TELEPHONE CABLE.
One Now Being Laid Between Block
Island aud Mainland.
Work VIII Probably B: completed To-
day Belongs TO the Government.

Block Island, which. up to the present
time, has had TO get along the best
way 1t could without telephone COM
munication with the mainland, will In
a few days be able TO call up Provi-
dence and other points, for already
eight miles of telephone cable have
been laid, and the remaining nine miles
OF cable will be laid today. The cable
terminus on the main land is just be-
low Narragansett Pier.
There was, until recently, quite an
argument in government circles re-
garding the laying of this cable, and
finally the representatives of the state
at Washington interested themselves
in the matter and pushed IL through.
AS there Is already a telegraph capie
to the island, General Greedy decided
that this new cable should be telephone
and placed the supervision or the lay
ing i'm charge of General Manager A. Z.
White of the Providence Telephone
Company. The new cable Is to be con-
nected with the wires from he Provi-
dence office, and the location OF poles.
both at the Pier and the Block island
ends of the cable will be necessary. Az
ter the work OF laying has been COM
pleted there will be little delay In
this, but il is only matter or Few
days when direct connection with the
islands can be had.
The new line.it is presumd,w will be OF
great service to the weather bureau
and also to the system OF coast de-
fence, and there is no doubt that Gen
eral Greely had this in mind when ht
decided upon telephone line to the

DOWN THE RIVER.
Large Crowds Visited the Various Shore
Resorts Yesterday.

Yesterday was delightful day, and
the consequence was that the boats of
the Providence, Fall River and New
port Steamboat Company carried Il
very large number of persons TO the
several shore resorts. while the several
trolley lines did a rushing business.
Many went To Taunton over the new
electric road. and taken altogether 1t
was a splendid day for an outing.
At Rocky Point there was a large
crowd and the many attractions on the
grounds were literally patronized. The
baseball game between the Providence
and Toronto teams attracted many
persons while the vaudeville show ia
the Forest Casino. the chutes. Moorish
maze. and other features did rushing
business. The dinner served by Man
agcr Harrington was an excellent one
I'm every particular, and the concerts
by the National band held the attention
of hundreds OF persons.
At Crescent Park there was an i'm
mense crowd throughout the day and
evening, and one OF the most delightful

DANGERS OF SUMMER.
Chief Among Them Are Idleness and
Leasure.
Discourse BY Rev. Wallace Nuttlng In
Union Congregational Church.

"The Dangers of Summer and Pros
perity" was the subject upon which
Rev. Wallace Nutting preached last
evening at the Union congregational
Church, taking his text from i. Prov
cribs, 23d verse. Mr.. Nutting said, In
substance the main danger from sum-
mer is chiefly due to idleness and leis-
ure. The same evil Is apt to come when
a mans business grows prosperous. 1t
is a fine art to utilize leisure; perhaps
the last fine art we Americans shall
ever acquire. The Fourth of July
makes no impression upon young
America except IL Is filled with dfn
and wearying thupder.
1t Is necessary for man to learn 10
be kind and do favors before he can
rest. There are many men who when
resting during the summer refuse TO
stir TO help others. for they are resting.
Thus, their bodies grow strong. while
tneir souls become weak. Vacation
time isn't an interval for spiritual
emptiness, but chance for deeper
breath OF nature--a clearer view of
God. A mans leisure hour not only
doesn't release him from the duty OF
being Christlike. but II increases his
responsibility. for then he has the time
do do KOOu ueeuS, 10 MAKE otHcIS
happy In addition 10 this, many great
works have been the result of leisure
of a few moments taken here and there
during the day. Ii is, therefore,
blessing or a curse, according TO the
plane upon which we live. To get the
pest out OF many of us, we must he
driven.
When prosperity takes out of mans
nature anything good, IL Is calamity.
When IL destroys all sympathy for the
lower classes, when we who have all
comforts forget those who have none,
| fortune and the leisure IL brings cannot
| be commended. Some people cannot
| bear TO spend any time with the sick
| for they say II weakens them. When
| this is true, there is some trouble with
| the mind and the heart. Test yourself
| Find some weak point I'm your disposi-
tion: ind something you dislike to do
Then do that thing until IL becomes q
pleasure. In those days of leisure dc
something worthy. Read something
| strong every day.
Rev. Mr.. Nutting concluded his ser
mon oy stating that the difference be
tween the educated and the uneducatet
! man is that the first does somethin,
worth while every day. but the latte
does not improve his leisure. God bles

you sweeter. holier. better thoughts O

The growing skill in the manipulation
of the typewriter, and the rapidity with
which it is being handled by experts,
bids fair at NO distant day to do away
with the intermediary of stenography.
Boston claims to be the center from
which emanates the swiftest type writers,
that city having very many operators
who will reproduce the speech of an ordi-
nary speaker with as much ease as would
be done by first.class stenoorapher. To
do this thorough knowledge of the key
boards necessary, SO that the operator
may be guided wholly by the sense Of
touch just as is the ski,lfui pianist, and
like the pianist every finger of each hand
is made to do its own individual part Of
the work. So accurate is tie sense of
io:ality that many OF the present type
machines are sent out without even let
tering the key board One can see at a
glance the great saving of labor that
would result from thus being able to
type write Il speech at first hand, all the
drudgery Of rewriting the stenographic
copy being thus avoided.

a report of the condition of the two
banks doing business in Lexington, Va. /,
shows that at the close of business on
Thursday there was on deposit in the
Bank of Rockbridge $175,57S, and in the
First National $4,000, making total
of $350,51S. This represents the largest
deposits ever known in the history of the
county and is an increase of so per cent.
in deposits there within the..past three
years. The remarkable part of this state
ment of the condition of these two banks
is that it follows so closely on the wreck
ing of the Lexington bank some three
years since. So utter and so complete
was the ruin throughout the county, and
so much distrust did il awaken in the
breasts of the citizens, that when Il prop
osition was made to open new bankssno
little trouble was experienced in securing
stock to organize it. The excellent show
