1t has finally been decided that on
May next, the Clyde line Will formally

dence TO southern points. and the Carib,
Capt. Joseph Mckee, will be the first
OF the companys steamers to arrive
here on the date mentioned There will
be regular weekly service by the
Clyde line from Pro yidenee and Bos-
vile. Fla. The present plan is. after
the end OF May, to make the service
to the south semi-weekly one, that
u.s. two steamers a week from this port.
The line will be known under the
name OF Tho clyde New England and
southern lines" and It will afford direct
service between Boston. Providence.
Charleston, Brunswick and Jackson
vile. The sailing schedule as origin
ally planned was: Sailing from Lewis
wharf, Boston. Tuesdays and Fridays;
Providence, Wednesdays and Satur-
days; from Jacksonville, Fridays:
Charleston Saturdays. and from Bruns-
wick, Ca, Wednesdays. Starting with
May !. the sailing schedule Is as fol-
lows: Carib. Tuesday, May /; Navahoe,

10; Clyde. Saturday May 19; Navahoe,
Thursday, May "a. and Carib, Monday,
May 30 After that date there will be
two steamers a week. IL is expected.
Providence merchants will thus pos
sess just as good facilities for shipping
and receiving freight To and from
southern ports as New York and Bos-
ton, and IL is probable that the steam
ers Will bring a good deal of lumber
10 Providence. as this can be brought
north from the Georgia terminus when
freight of other kinds runs light. Cot
ton will also be largely transported.
This Will, OF course, be direct bene-
fit 10 Providence merchants. and the
running OF these steamers VIII be a
great boom 10 those handling lines OF
perishable freight as they will receive
their merchandise i'm fresh condition.
OF course. every convenience will be
afforded for first-class passenger SER
vice, for In the list OF the big liners
that will stop at this port are some OF
the best known OF the passenger steanl-
ers owned by this line. These boats
are fitted with every convenience, are
steel built and fitted with twin-screw
engines. A. II. Lane. New England

bridge, as the speaker of the evening.
Taking as his subject. Some Old
Time Parsons i'm English Fiction" he
gave clear and interesting account
of the way in which ministers have
been treated since the early days OF
Christianity. He said liberty OF prophe-
sying is a great thing. but much de-
pends on the prophet. The churchmen
Of today are not Shakesperian charac-
ters. He said the reason that the ref
ormation. begun I'm England i'm the six
teenth century, did not progress IA
vorably for some time was because the
orignators OF the plan died and there
were no others to further the work.
He spoke briefly on the many diff
ferent curates I'm the different lands
and showed that character is necessary
in the religion OF today. In this con-
houses were run by the clergymen
themselves in the year 7l2
Speaking of the minis sters OF more
modern times he said that preaching
without notes is NOT difficult. but the
real difficulty mamfests itself when
the speaker tries TO preach without
notes or ideas. In conclusion he said
only the largest souls can comprehend
and overcome the foibles OF the pres
ent day
At the conclusion OF his speech a
vote OF thanks was rendered him by
the club
The motion, introduced at this juno
ture, that the number and dates Of
meetings during the coming year be
left to council was laid on the tab I,
TO be acted upon at the adjourned
meeting in May.
