LAST OF THE CO-CAPITALS.
Rhode Island May Try to Do with One
Legislative City Only
Hereafter.

The electors of Rhode Island, the last
the states of the country with two leg
islative capitals, are at the general No
vember election to vote upon consti-
tutional amendment abolshing New
port as capital, and making thereaft-
er Providence the exclusive Legislative
capital of the state. Originally, most
curious provision for so small state,
Rhode Island had five capitals-New-
port, South Kingstown, East Green
witch, Bristol and Providence. In 1884,
however, the number was limited to
two by constitutional provision, New
port and Providence, and the date OF
the meeting of the legislature was
fixed on the first Tuesday OF May. IN
til a few years ago Connecticut also had
two capitals, Hartford and New Haven,
and the legislature met In these two
cities alternately until the Joint cap
ita1" plan was abandoned and Hartford
Is now the only capital of Connecticut.
With one capital It is practicable to
construct an appropriate state build
Ing, whereas with two capitals On OBJ
Btacle DO 1t is found, and moreover the
uncertainty rs to the permnnenoe of
@ capital Is a barrier to the establish
ment in q city of the interests which
D capital ordinarily attracta By the
last census the population OF Provi-
dence was $4,000, while that OF New
port wes but 10000 Providence has
long been the commercial and political
capital OF the state, 1t II the chAef
railroad terminus OF the roads con-
Meeting various parts of Rhode Islands
IT. La on the mainland, and the reten>
ton of Newport, a town OF no political
Importance, as a capital can be de-
scribed only as an anachfonikn, which
Rhode Island will be the last od the
states to do away with--provided, Of
course, that the constitutional amend,
ment submitted TO the voters In No
vember receives the approval Of the
requisite three-hfths, Section 13, Of the
Rhode Island constikudon, provides
that the general assembly, as the legis-
lature of that state Is called, may pro-
pose amendments to the constitution
II majority OF the members elected
TO each house approve, and II so, the
amendment in the form agreed to is
submitted to the voters and 'if ap-
proved by three-fftha OF the electors
OF the state present and voting there
on in town and ward meeting Il be-
comes part of the constitution.
In proportion to It's population New
port, with appraised property to tho
value of $55,000,000 to S176, 100000 In
Providence, Is the richer city of the
two, but IT owes no part OF its pros
perity to the capital and will have no
reason for opposing the acceptance Of
Providence as the official, as 1t has long
been the political, capital OF the state.

HERE'S WHAT'S WANTED

the Information.

Over half the complaints of mankind
originate with the kidneys.
A slight touch of backache at first.
Twinges and shooting pains in the
loins follow. They must be checked,
they lead to graver complications.
The sufferer seeks relief.
Plasters are tried, and liniments for
the back.
So called Kidney cures which do not
cure.
The lopg-looked-for result seems un-
attainable.
If you suffer, do you want relief9
Follow the plan adopted by this
Montpelier citizen.
TlMr. Frank Hardigan, who resides at

back, and in the morning it panied me

Club sandwiches should be made of
thnly-sliced stale bread bacon, cold
roast chicken and salad dressing. In
all cases remove the crust of the bread.
The bacon should first be broled and
then laid on rack in pan, this being
placed in an oven, so that in this way all
fat is extracted from the bacon and
drops into the pan. The bacon becomes
crisp and the slices remain fiat for
spreading between the slices Of bread, on
which, it may be said, no butter is used.
Dark chicken Is better for sandwiches
than the lighter parts of the fowl, and the
meat is better roasted than boiled. This
work must be done early enough to have
the chicken and bacon perfectly cold be-
fore it is used. The chicken and bacon,
the edges of the latter being carefully
trimmed, are placed between the slices
of bread with'enough mayonnaise dress
ing to moisten it all, and this dressing
should be added just before the sand
witches are needed. because, by standing
long. the mayonnaise will liquify and be-
come absorbed by the bread.

the strongest in Luzon. 1t was a stone
fortress topping a steep hill surround

three hours climbing. under fire from
the fortress and the hillside entrench.
