CRITICISMS
ABOUT THE COLON

Many OF the naval men are outspoken
I'm their criticism of the treatment OF
the Colon Immediately after her sur
render. They believe the ship could
have been saved when she slipped back
from the reef into deep water, had
divers, carpenters and machinists with
a competent prize crew been sent on
board OF her. The crew OF the Brook
lyn regarded the Vizcaya as their par
ticular enemy, since the timss when
they were both present at Queen Vic-
toria's jubilee, and when there was
much comment abroad as To what a
good fight might be expected between
the two ships IL they ever met.
OF the four big ships which were In
Admiral Cervera's fleet only TWO were
surely doomed to destruction. They
are the Vizcaya and the Almirante
Oquendo, and these. as coincidence,
were the two cruisers which entered
Havana harbor after the blowing up
of the Maine. and were moored near the
wreck of the United States battleship
in all the bravery of paint, gliding and
bunting, seeming TO gloat over the ruin
caused. while the people OF Havana
shouted themselves hoarse, fired
myriads of bombs and Dragged unceas-
ingly of what the two formidable ar
mored cruisers of Spain would do with
the United States navy should ever a
fair hight be possible. t.la 4

BY BOAT AND CAR.
Thousands Visited the Bayslde Re-
sorts Yesterday.
Big Crowds at Fields Point, Crescent
Park aud Rocky Point.

Yesterday wass great day at the sew.
eral resorts on the shores OF NarraRan-
sett bay and thousands left this city
by boat or trolley car in order to enjoy
the cool breezes. and incidentally the
other forms OF recreation offered TO the
public. The boats were crowded and
the trolley cars were crowded until wen
along In the afternoon, by those VINO
left the city, and then the order was re-
versed and the people began TO return.
1t was a big crowd, but very orderly
one, and everybody seemed 10 be out
for solid comfort.
AT Crescent Park the several attrac-
tions offered by Manager Boyden were
well patronized, and this was particu-
larly true OF the "chutes." One Of the
features Of the day was the ride down
the steep and slippery chute on a bi-
cycle by Il. l.. Mulvey, young man
who has successfully accomplished the
feat at several summer resorts TINS
season. Mulvey appeared with his bi-
cycle at the top OF the incline. The
water had been shut off, and the wet
boards sanded down before the ride was
made. AS the rider mounted his wheel
people held their breath. He started
down, and II was only a few seconds
before he had plunged into the water
and was wading ashore, the applause
patronized all day, and there was but
one usua opinion Of Boydens bakes.
those served at O'Clock being better
than ever Reeves American band
gave several choice concerts. introduce
ing all the soloists, and taken altogeth-
er the immense crowd at Crescent Park
had glorious day, and so did Manager
Boyden.
Not one whit behind was Manager
Harrington at Rocky Point, where a
very large crowd assembled yesterday,
and never was the weather more de-
lightfuI at this naturally beautiful spot.
Many came to witness the ball game
between the Providence and Spring
field teams. but there were thousands
of others who did not care for the ma
tional game. and these found ample
entertainment in the concerts by the
National band, and a really excellent
vaudeville show in the Forest Casino.
The maze. the chutes. the merry-go-
rounds and other forms of amusement
were well patronized, and the big crowd
evidently enjoyed itself. Manager Har-
rington served an excellent dinner, so
good in fact that 1t was generally COM
mented upon by those who are experts
in the clambake line.
Col. S.S. Atwell. as usual, had large
number of visitors at Fields Point, and.
as usual, the dining halls were crowded
until quite late in the afternoon. These
dinners have acquired most deserved
reputation for excellence, and while
there are no outside features to amuse
the public, the delicious repasts and
cool breezes are in themselves sufficient
inducement for those who are looking
for real comfort.

SUIT FOR LARCENY.
Miss johnson Sought to Recover
$2.67 From Mr.. Franklin.


Agda Johnson's suit against her for
mer. employer. John Franklin, which
was tried in the civil division or tne
Sixth district court this morning re-
suited in q decision for her employer
for costs. She testified that she was
hired by Mr.. Franklin TO sell candy at
his store on Westminster street ana
that there was no express agreement
when she was hired as to what wages
she was to receive, but that the usuai
rate of wages paid was Sc a week and
she sought to recover $2.67 the differ
ence between 81 paid her by Mr.. Frank
lin for one weeks work and her wages
at the rate of IS a week and a difference
i'm the time she claimed to have worked
and the time paid for.
Mr.. Franklin claimed he hired her 10
go 10 work on a Friday. telling her the
wages would be 81 a week and that on
the following Saturday he paid her 30
the difference between the price named
being for work done on the Friday ana
Saturday of the previous week. He
said that on the second Saturday she
got 81 from him at about o'clock and
failed to return to work during the busi-
est part of the evening, but did not re-
turn until the following Monday and
was very abusive. When recalled MISS
johnson denied she ever agreed 10 go
TO work for 81 a week. but admitted she
asked the girl next her how much the
wages were and the girl said 81 a week.
Mr. Franklin said he could get plenty
of girls to do this kind of work for $3.50
or 81 a week. N. w. Littlefield was
Mr.. Franklin's attorney.

NOT BY DEFECTIVE WORK.
How Fire In Narragansett Hotel Barber
shop Was Caused.

The News has received the following
in regard to the fire in the Narragan-
sett hotel building last week:
Insurance Association OF Rhode Island.
Boston Electric Co., 1888 Westminster
street, city.
Gentlemen: Upon careful investiga-
ton by the undersigned it has been
found that the recent fire In Albert
Clinton's barber shop at the Narra-
gansett hotel was not due to defective
work" on the part of the electricians,
as was at first reported.
The real cause proves tos have been
the manner in which the screen fes-
looming was attached TO the ceiling.
This screening was supported upon
wooden framework, which was not at
tached to the newly decorated ceiling,
but was secured to the combination
gas and electric fixtures by means of
winding bare copper wire tightly around
both the frame work and the fixture.
thereby cutting the insulation of the
wires on the fixtures and forming the
cross from which originated the
sparks causing the fire.
The work recently done by the elec-
tricians was not in the nature of "re-
pairs" on this work. as was originally
reported but was in connection with
the new system of wiring which is
being installed, and had no bearing on
the cause of the fire. Very truly.

SUED BY PARTNER.
judgment Given Frates For $S5 In
District Court.
Suit the Result OF Short-Lived Copart-
nsrship In the Coal Business.

1T was small partnership for the
sale of wood and coal that Antoine
Frates, who was plaintiff and John AL
menda, who was defendant in the case
tried in the Sixth District Court this
morning, formed two years ago next
month. The copartnership was brief
too, lasting only period OF 56 days, yet
1t took two attorneys and Judge Sweet
land a good while with the assistance
of an interpreter to get through with
the trial. The plaintiff occupied lu-
crative position as bar tender In first
ward saloon When IL was agreed be-
tween himself and the defendant that
they should put up $l07. Frates claimed
he never got much out OF the business.
in fact, no cash. hence the suit. One
of the charges made by him against
the defendant was that the latter had
sold the horse owned by the firm for
$3.50 and had given him only $40, say
ing that was one half the horse brought.
on cross-examipation the plaintiff
admitted he did not know what the
auctioneer's fee for the sale was. The
suit was to recover $9S50 that 1t was
alleged Almenda agreed to pay for the
business. Z
tiff was but little about the premises
during the existence of the copartner-
ship and that he. defendant. became SO
disgusted with the wat things were
going he told the plaintiff he must ad-
vance more money. Witness claimed
ne paid to the plaintiff $40 as the result
Of eight weeks business.
Judge SweetlaEd gave decision for
the plaintiff for $S5, the value OF cer-
tain coal and wood being deducted
from the amount claimed.
III. j. Dubois was counsel for the
plaiutiff.

VICTORY FOR
THE SCIENTISTS

10 whether these acts constitute the
practice OF medicine. the opinion says:
"In the construction of penal statutes
a we'll established rule Is that words
and phrases must be taken I'm their or
binary acceptation and popular mean
ing unless a contrary intent appears.
While the words of such statutes are
not to be restricted in meaning within
the narrowest limits. neither are they
TO extend beyond their common in
terpretation, and IL there is a reason
able doubt as to whether the acts done
are within the meaning OF the statute.
the party accused OF Its violation is en-
titled TO the benefit OF that doubt.
1T follows, therefore, that the acts
complained of are excluded from the
operation OF said chapter. unless the
words practice OF medicine" taken In
their ordinary or popular meaning, in
clude them. or unless IL appears from
said chapter that the Legislative intent
was TO give TO said words a meaning
broader and more inclusive than the
popular one" The opinion then reviews
at considerable length what medicine
tered. the fact that prayer or other
signed To secure TO those who desire
stitute the practice of medicine in the
popular sense. The court announces
that IL Is unable to(agree with the con-
tention OF the state that the words
practice of medicine has a meaning
broader than the popular one. or that
the opening OF an Office or the other
acts complained Of constitute an Of
fence against the law under which the
defendant was prosecuted. II is fur
ther held that the assumption of the
word doctor by any person Is not un-
lawful. as IL is not prohibited by the
statute. The object OF the statute is
declared not 10 be for the purpose OF
compelling persons suffering from dis
ease TO resort TO remedies, but IL Is de-
signed TO secure those who desire
remedies competent physicians 10 pre-
pare and administer them.
