GREENE ST. SCHOOL.
Paper on the Institution and Its Teachers, h
Hon. Henri [. Greene.

| Before the Rhode Island Historical
| Society last evening, Hon. Henry l.
| Greene read very interesting "histor.
ical sketch OF the Greene street schoo
| and of its teachers, among whom was
| Margaret Fuller, afterwards Marchio-
| ness D'Ossoli." In spite OF the fact
that the paper had been read i'm this
city before there was a remarkable de-
gree of interest manifested last even
ing, in fact, more so than at the pre-
vious reading.
Mr.. Greene commenced by speaking
of the arrival in Providence of Mr.
Hiram Fuller and of his peculiar meth
cd OF teaching, which resembed some
thing like that OF the old Greek phil
osophers who taught in the porticos of
the temples, mostly by personal contact
conversation. Ii was his love of the
ancient school masters and OF Greece
that caused him to build the Greene
street school in imitation of q Doric
temple. or Margaret Fuller the speak
er drew strong pen picture She was
so buried in transcendentalism that
she could not enjoy teaching and talked
of the wide gulf between herself and
her pupils.
She was on terms of friendship with
Ralph Waldo Emerson and most of the
other distinguished men Of letters of
school. Mr.. Fuller. she exhibited but
dignif1ed tolerance. She taught but
year and a half, becoming in 1910 ed
itor of the Dial, a transcendental paper,
and i'm 1914 she wrote for the New York
Tribune. Later she went to Italy, and
there in 1Si7 she married Marquis
D'Ossoli, and in 1S4S, when the French
besieged Rome, she was one OF the most
ardent Italian patriots, but later, with
her husband, was compelled to fly for
safety

SEVEN YEARS.
SChoo|sy Will Spend That Term in
the State Prison.
He Assaulted Miss Flynn at Watch Hill
and She Was Drowned.

The Watch Hill tragedy terminated
last evening i'm the formal commitment
Of Harry c. Schooley to the state prison
in Cranston for a term of seven years
Schooley was arrested at Watch Hill
on the night of August IL, for the mur-
der of Maria A. Flynn OF New York.
Miss Flynn was employed as a laun-
dress at one OF the hotels, and in the
evening had gone down TO the dock
10 get cooled off before retiring. She
was of exemplary character, and was
soon to be married.
Schooey had drifted into Watch Hill
that day. He was trick bicycle rider,
and intended to give exhibitions OF his
skill. He met Miss Flynn at the wharf,
and, during their conversation he at
tempted to assault her. She resisted
until the pair reached the stringpiece
of the wharf, and then she either fell
or jumped overheard. Her cries for
help when on the wharf had been heard
and she was taken from the water as
expeditiously as possible, but she was
dead.
Schooley was promptly arrested.
Through somebody's blunder Miss
Flynn's body was permitted to leave
the state before an autopsy could be
ordered. The law department then is
sued an order to the proper authorities
to proceed to New York and there hold
an autopsy. but there was another
blunder, so that when the grand jury
for Washington county got ready to

body any legal proof Of cause of death,

most entirely changed. Men of labor
now find themselves up against a new
competitor. one who may be sometime
one of the parts OF this country's citi-

who reduce wages. II is the duty of the
laboring men TO league with those of
other states against those who are re-

in this vicinity that endorses the CON
tract system II IL within the power OF
the laboring men OF the state to change
these conditions. I believe Labor re-

Why will II not respond TO it's own

WHY He Failed.

A Wellington Chinese trader Known
as William Joe Gett, formerly Chi
nese interpreter, failed some time ago.
Here is an extract from his statement
of the causes of bankruptcy, which,
written in red ink. covered four pages
of foolscap. After detailing his trading
experiences the Celestial writes:-
II see my troubles endless to come. l

creditors support my business. During

STORY OF A HAT.
Revealing the Secret of It's Two Trips
Around a Table.

Revealing the Secret of Its Two Trips
Around a Table.
A number of literary men were at one
time gathered in well known chop
house in New York. The conversation
was of course brilliant, and the repartee
sparkled with mirth and wit, During a
lull in the talk the door slowly opened,
and an old southern darby, grizzled
with age, poked his head in and then
slowly drew his body in after him. A
waiter started to eject him, when one
of the gentlemen cried:
"Wait moment. Let's see what the
old boy wants.
The darby bobbed up to the table
where this gentleman sat and held out
his hat. Throwing wink to his neigh
bors, the gentleman took the hat and,
into it, passed it on to the next man,
who did likewise. The hat made tour
of the room, to the puzzled wonder of
the darby The last to receive it SOL
EMMY handed it back with polite
bow, saying:
"There, sir, don't you think you have
something to be thankful for?"
The old darby looked solemnly around
the company and, mechanically taking
the hat, he said:
"Gen men, Ize indeed glad dat got
chen de hat backp'
The reply was SO thoroughly enjoyed
by the company that the darby left the
place much richer man than when no
had entered it.-Kansas City World.

"You should have put an iron casing
round those too ready sympathies Of
yours, Anne, before you came here.
Well have very hard time of it if we
try to change conditions which have al
ways been," he said mildly. "Besides,
I've come to the conclusion myself for
my own satisfaction that the small
things of life are inevitably balanced
here; so life in total with all its opposi-
lions and wrongs must be as evenly
balanced somewhere else. What are
your plans for today? l wish l could go
with you and Sefain. Confound this I'M

"I'm first going with money to Red

self on the arm of his chair and opening
her notebook. "Then | want to see the

like to get an idea of the graves where

Anne hurried down the stairs and
found Donald waiting for her with a
venerable carriage. He did not see her
as she came up to him. Standing just
outside the doorway, an Inverness cape
Tapping around him, he was sketching
in the salient points of noisy group
across the road. One man stood on
barrel, his arms held up, while in bowls
he called on the others to resist. Around
him were score of men-Huns, Poles,
with smaller mixture of Irish and
English-their working jeans discarded
for antique and yellowed broadcloth.
They were all stupidity listening with
out sign of answering spirit, their faces
showing that they were hungry and
shivering.
Donald was never fully aroused ex-
cept when he worked. His brown,
nervous fingers held the book intently,
his eyes flashed keenly from the page to

to remember that here" he said, pok-
ing the fire furiously.
Anne stood near him, drawing on a
pair of loose dogskin gloves. A fur cap
fitted like bandage above her troubled
eyes.
"Tuck me in. Anne, dear. Then look
out, like good girl, and see if there S
break in the dirty sky. /"
She swept the rag of curtain aside
and gazed on the marvels of desolation
before her. The hotel was on one Of
the highest hills, and she could see
mountains Of coal waste looming black
in the mist, rivers like ink flowing be-
meath gaunt bridges, vast hollows of
moist, shrunken land above the mines
spreading like emptied arteries beneath
the surface, houses, as if shaken by
palsy, leaning sideways upon erratic
| foundations, and over all light rain
driven by wind from the east
'The sky is as dull as ever" said
Anne, still standing with the curtain in
her hand, and she added in a vehement
whisper: tits all wrong, uncle.
| There's something horribly wrong with
the world"
"Have you just found that out?"
Last night as we came home from
the funeral of the man Red Evans kill
ed"-her voice trembled-"it came to
me what these people are, They are the
moving, untombed dead. The starving
men guarding the black pits, the wom-
en-, nothing but child bearing blocks,
the picker hoys with their understood,
CHASTITY bodies, have dead souls, uncle

comfort--they don't know how really
badly off they are; brought up to it,
you see."

from Anne's fingers-"but that's what
