The fox was driven into a large brush heap and was killed by the dog with the children before they could get to it It was a fine specimen, but the negroes were ignorant of its name until told. Something has been killing tine chickens of the peo- pie around where dhis animal was found for some time, and this is no aouot the guilty party.

The Grammar of Nenpartisanls,n

The Springville News indulges in these po- litical reflections:
 We'll, well. a democrat so he says, ac- cuses us of running a populist paper. This is the richest thing yet. We have stated time and again we were running a non political paper, and we do not believe there is a person in the county who reads the News that believes the above statement. Just such democrats CD as this is what Is hurting the party today.

To Watch Metooric Shower

New Haven, Conn.,, November 11.-Dr. F. L. Chase, who has charge of the elaborate plans al Yale for observing the great me- teoric showers of the Leenids next week, said tonight relative to them: ''Our prep- arations for observing the meteoric shower are now complete. We shall begin formal observations Monday evening, although we do not expect much of a shower before Tuesday night. There is much yet to be settled about the shower, and it is by no means certain that any of it will be visible to persons on this side of the globe The fact that the moon is nearly full will also prevent many of the meteors from being visible which would otherwise be seen very plainly.
 We have seven cameras at the Yale ob- servatory on Prospect Hill, and six more in Hamden, two miles away. We shall ex- pose plates over twenty or thirty minutes during the moonlight, then removing them to prevent their being logged. After the moon sets the plates will be exposed for two or three hours. We shall have several assistants at the Yale observatory, notably John E. Lewis, of Ansonia. who >photo- graphed the first meteor ever taken It is certain that no meteors will be seen on any night before Il o'clock Indications are that the most favorable time to observe them will be after midnight on Wednesday morning.
 'The meteoric shower, If it takes place as extensively as expected, will be some- thing not seen by most people oftener than once in lifetime, but there is much that has never been settled about metcors. and it is impossible yet to tell just how success ful our observations will be-"

John Drew In The Liars. I"

Charles Frohman's brilliant and pol
ished star, John Drew, will be at the
Providence Opera House next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. and
Wednesday matinee, with one of the
best plays of his career, THE Liars"
written by Henry Arthur Jones. The
sale of seats opens tomorrow morning
and of course the usual fashionable
and crowded Drew" audience may be
expected. The way New Workers. look
ed at this play may be inferred from
the fact that IL remained four months
at the fashionable Empire Theatre,
closing there only because Mr.. Froh-
mans Empire Stock company had to
return home for its usual season. Star
and play come here after "A brilliant
engagement at the Hollis Street Thea
tire, Boston, where for the majority OF
the performances the orchestra was
compelled to retire under the stage.
Miss Isabel Irving is still Mr.. Drew's
leading lady, and his company is one
OF the best that ever supported him.
An llectual as well as amusing and
interesting dramatic treat may be ex-
pected from THE Liars"

DoINGs IN CONGRESS.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The feature OF
yesterdays session of the senate was a
speech delivered by Mr.. Bacon (Dem.,
Ga.) in support of his resolution declar-
Ing that the United States should not
assume sovereignty over the Philippine
Islands. Mr.. Bacon is one OF the orators
OF the senate, and as he gave himself
free rein, not confining himself to notes,
he spoke strongly and effectively. His
peroration. in which he pictured the
horrors OF some af England's $ methods Of
controlling her colonial subjects was a
beautifui and forcsful bit of word paint
ing.
Following Mr.. Bacon's speech the
Nicaragua camel bill was taken up and
remained un6er discussion until 6
O'Clock. Amendment after amendment
was voted dowl and until almost the last
minute it seemed likely that vote on
the measure would be reached last even
ing. but just as final vote was about
10 be called for Mr.. Allison (Rep., Ia.)
exploded bomb under the bill by offer
Ing an amendment providing that the
secretary OF the treasury should issue
bonds 10 raise money with which TO con-
struct the canal. The friends OF the
measure then consented to an adjourn
ment.
The committee on interstate and
foreign commerce had the right of way
in the house and succeeded in passing
quite number Of bills of minor i'm
portance. most of which authorized the
construction OF lighthouses, fog signals,
etc. Then the bill TO grant the Pacific
cable company a subsidy Of $1,000 a
year for 20 years for the construction and
operation OF II cable was called up and
very spirited debate, which consumed
the remainder of the day, followed. No
conclusion was reached at the hour OF
adjournment. and as the special order
under which the house was operating
expired with the adjournment, and az
objection was made to fixing another
day for consideration. 1t goes over in
definitely until the committee can get
another day or until a special order ia
adopted.

WROTE "SWEET ROSIE oGRADY."


Miss Maude Nugent. the popular vo-
calist, who is delighting large audi
ences every afternoon and evening at
the Olympic Theatre. Is the guest of
Manager and Mrs. Spitz during her
stay in Providence. Miss Nugent, who
Is the composer OF that popular melody,
Sweet Rosie OGrady," is a modest
and pretty little woman, and is a uni
versal favorite.
She was seen by a News man at the
Olympic Theatre last night, and mod
estly admitted that she was the author
OF Sweet Rosie O'Grady," but did not
admit that she was sorry for IT, Maybe
II is because the publishers have sold
100000 copies OF the song and music,
and that she gets a royalty on every
copy disposed of, that reconciles her to
IL. Everybody except the deaf and the
dead knows the song is one OF the most
melodious that has come out of recent
years, and that ii is very popular, al
together too popular TO those who
have heard IL some millions Of times
and have wondered where its staying
qualities came from.
Miss Nugent said that that she real
ly does not know why she did il, but
still she did. She said that there was
nothing that she knew of that had
suggested either the words or the mu-
sic Of the song to her. She wrote the
words of II. and she picked out the
air on her piano. After she had got
ten the song down pretty fine she
played and sang il for her husband,
and they took IL to firm of music
publishers. The music was kept i'm
the safe for matter of six months,
and finally Miss Nugent sang the song
at Roster * Balls. 1t made an in
stantaneous hit, and then il was pub
lished
Miss Nugent sang il for months after
its first presentation. and she got to
hear the song even i'm her sleep, for
IL was sung i'm every key and pretty
nearly every language, day and night,
here, there and everywhere. and il
seemed TO Miss Nugent that there was
no place on all the earth where she
should escape Sweet Rosie O'Grady."
Nothing ever made her as tired
as the constant hearing of her most
famous song. 1t came at her every
where. She heard it the last thing at
night, and her beauty sleep in the
early morning was disturbed by selec-
tions from Sweet Rosie" Finally she
had to quit IL in self-defence, but wher-
ever she went and whatever she did.
she was called upon TO sing again the
old song.
The efforts TO quit it were futile for
long time. The orchestra seats
and the dress circle frowned when she
refused to sing about Rosie, and the
gallery rose as one bowling youth when
she failed TO promptly respond to the
demand for the song.

The SAME OLD STORY
Told on the streets OF Providence rs Well

Some things you cannot tell too often.
Repetition gives them added strength.

How the back can be relieved.
All pains and aches removed.
Proves how easily 1t is done.
Providence people tell the story.
Friends and neighbors talk OF IL.
They tell about their kidney ills.
How they suffered, how the cure came.
What they think of Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Here Is what n citizen says.

after few doses and when contin-
ued their use for while longer the
backache left me. Not only was my
back stronger and better. but my head
