BUILDING OF THE HOUSE.

To one accustomed TO walk abroad i'm
the neighborhood where he lives the
building of new houses here and there
is certain to be of interest. Suppose.
for instance, the construction of some
great apartment house comes under his
eye. He sees some day men set up
lot OF, rock drills on a spot of ground
that he has often passed and from the
moment they begin To pound labor there
never ceases. When the drills have
gone other men put I'm the foundations,
and gradually the building is reared
the frame and the walls. with activity
about IL always. The time comes at last
when the walls are up and the roof is
on. and then there comes period in
which for time progress seems sus-
pended, but t.rat is only because work
is at such a stage that the workers are
no longer visible: they are inside now
engaged upon the finishing and putting
in the various fittings.
IL may be that the man who saw the
drills placed and the great building
started and carried near TO completion
sees nothing OF II for a month; then,
passing this way again and after night
fall. he sees ii lighted i'm every story
and all around. Curtains OF lace hang
ing now at the windows: chandeliers
within glowing with lights. At the en-
trance a glimpse OF a spacious marble
hall, brilliantly Illuminated; a liverled
mailman at the door. The great house
is finished and peopled: and what a
wonderful change from the day the
drills were set up on the vacant land,
And one can scarcely help wondering
where all the people come from 10 fiji
II. for this is a costly building, fitted
with every appliance OF luxury as well
as comfort, and only people of good in
comes can afford to live i'm il. But such
houses are built i'm numbers and as fast
as they are finished the tenants come,
apparently. just as they do for the
lower priced apartments and flats
everywhere building.
And Of scarcely. II any less interest
is IT to see the private houses go no i'm
scores, and at all sorts of prices. from
houses at comparatively low figures up
10 houses. many OF them, OF large cost.
Here. again, one h almost inclined TO
wonder where all the people come from
who can afford to buy or hire these
fine houses. They help TO give one
some idea OF the city's growth in
wealth as well as population.-The sun.

Wedding al 81. Pairlck's Church. Councilman
Sheahan's Victor Gives Much Pleasure.

There was very largely attended
wedding at ST. Patricks church this
morning. The contracting parties were
John Il. o'Neil, a very prominent physi-
clan of South Providence, and Miss
Della Greeley. daughter of former
Councilman Greeley, and one of the
most popular young ladies in this part
of the city. After the ceremony the
wedding party went TO the home of the
brides father, on Charles street, where
an elaborate wedding breakfast was
served. The reception which followed
was very largely, attended and proved a
most enjoyable affair.
The victory OF Councilman Sheahan
in Ward three was worth all the trouble
il took to secure II. Though the ma
chine is very powerful in a boss-ridden
ward, where it dictates everything, il
is quite evident the voters OF the ward
can draw line occasionally. The He
brew vote came boldly to the rescue Of
Alderman Mccarthy, but Councilman
Kelley, for a man that the gang pro-
nounced politically dead six months
ago. made a showing of which he may
well feel proud.
A team loaded with oats broke down
i'm front OF the Oriental mill last eve
ming.
There was a little excitement on
Cross street last evening. John King
went to light "a lamp at his home at
about half past eight and the lamp ex-
ploded. A friend OF King picked up
the lamp and threw il out of a window.

Herbert B. and Mrs. Hutchins in the
church parlors of the PawtuNet Bap-

wife were assisted In receiving by Rev.
Mr.. Wheeler, formerly acting pastor OF
the church. and his wife. During the
reception an excellent musical program
was rendered in pleasing manner,
and greatly added TO the enjoyment of
the evening. Every number received
several encores. The number of visi-
tors who attended the reception was an
ample proof that Rev. Mr.. Hutchins
been here. made place in the hearts of
his people by his kindly and genial
manner. Mrs. Hutchins arrived from
Boston in time TO be present at the
ceremony and received a kindly well
come. The ushers at the ceremony
were Messrs. Benjamin Lee, l.. ID. Bur-
lingame and s. w. Seabury. The fol-
loving ladies had charge OF the re-

Why Mail Matter Is DsIayed In 0ehey--Notes
From the Square and Vicinity.

Many people I'm the annexed district,
say the local post office authorities, do
not seen to comprehend that the Olney-
willie post Office is still in existence, and
30 persist IN having their mail ad-
dressed to Providence instead of olney-
VILE. Therefore, there is much delay
in the delivery OF their mail matter.
For the benefit of these persons. they
desire to state that although annexa-
tion has made this district part of
Providence, there has been no change
in the free delivery districts. and that
mail should be directed In precisely the
same manner az before annexation.
one OF the needs of this section Is
street signs. There are in the vicinity
of Mount Pleasant many unmarked
streets, not altogether unmarked, but
at the corners of intersecting streets
there are many places where signs are
conspicuous by their absence, and
therefore strangers are very often given
unnecessary Inconvenience by long
walk in search OF sign or by making
inquiries of pedestrians whom they
meet.
Last evening the Jolly Six with their
friends 40 couples in all, made "A sur
prise visit on one OF their number, Mr..
NJ. Gay. They enjoyed dancing. games
and refreshments. Music was furnish
ed by Hill and Gay. Mrs. Gay was
presented with a handsome clock and
album.
Yesterday afternoon a boy named
Thomas Hartley, who lives on Leah
street with his parents. while stealing
a ride on a low gear on Atlantic avenue
fell off and the heavy rear wheel passed
over both OF his legs, badly injuring
them. He was taken to his home by
witnesses and physician called. who
on examination, gave II as his opinion
that one OF the legs was probably frac7
tured.
A man named Martin Markey who
was soliciting aims on the square,

HE'S ALWAYS SICK AT SEA.

at is now nearly twenty-seven years
since I first went TO sea on man-of z
war" said a well-known officer of the
United States Navy. and I've been get
ting seasick right along ever since. I
not only get violently and hopelessly
seasick every time / start off on a
cruise. after having been on shore duty
for a number OF years but | always
get more or less seasick every time the
ship to which / am attached weighs an
chor and puts to sea after having been
i'm port for ten days or so. OF course. |
don't get quite as sick on these occa-
sions, in the midst of a cruise after long
shore duty, but i get sick enough. /
don't think i exaggerate when l say
that since in the navy j have been
desperately seasick at least a hundred
times, and just terribly seasick about a
thousand times.
And | am not the only one I can
name you, off hand. twenty high-ran
ing officers of our naval outfit who in
variably get seasick when they start off
on a cruise and who never fall afoul of
a choppy sea that they don't long for
some lodge in the wilderness. And, by
the way, a peculiar thing connected
with seasickness of these officers Ispeak
of is that they are all huge men. Pm "a
pretty Dig man DlNSell. i nave lneTt-
fore evolved the idea, based upon "A
great deal of experience, that big men
are a good deal more liable TO seasick-
ness than small men. I've seen small
shipmates get seasick at the ortset of
their cruises, but, once they { 1 over
this initial siege of NAL de mer, the
small men very rarely suffer from sea-
sickness for the remainder of their
cruises. | don't just know how to ac-
count for this, but simply state IL as
one OF the results of my observations Of
seasickness.
i've also observed that men with
comparatively hollow or not well-devel-
oped chests are practically immune
from seasickness. j mentioned this to
the surgeon of the last ship TO which l
was attached, and he told me that peo-
pie who are consumptive, or who have
anything whatever the matter with
their lungs, very rarely suffer from sea-
sickness. He told me the physiological
reason for this, but I've forgotten it,
