RIVER View Excursions.

The heated term is causing many In
this city and neighborhood to patronize
the excursion steamers. The attractions
at River View carry many to that place.
The steamer Samuel j. Pentz stops at
Reardon's wharf every Wednesday and
Saturday at 1890 a. m. and 2:45 and
7:15 p. m. On Saturday family excur-
sion trips are made at 1890 a. m. and
2:45 p. M, at which hours the fare will
be 10 cents. These excursions afford an
opportunity to spend day at first
class river resort or delightful ride on
the river and several hours there in the
cool of the evening.

Shot by a Powdercraker.

Ray Hooker, of the lO4th Coast
Artillery, stationed at Fort Washing
ton, visited the city yesterday and about
eight O'Clock last night had taken up a
position in front Of house on north
Lee street where he was gazing intently
at an upper window in which was seat
ed a female which in his fancy he
imagined was another Juliet and he a
Romeo. There was no way of ascend
ing by the rainspout, nor was any cord
lowered to him, and he stood musing
with lighted powercracker in his hand
which finally exploded. The cracker
proved to be of high grade and it not
only burned his hand severely, but
penetrated his clothing and scorched his
abdomen. The fash and report caused
people in the neighborhood to suppose
Hooker had been shot and for time
there was some excitement The soldier
wended his way to the station house,
explained the affair and was later
treated by DIR. Miller.

Want a MARYLAND Ferry.

A number of people in this city are
endeavorng to interest those living in
Maryland, on the opposite side of the

AS TO THE INITIATIVE.

Editor the Providence News: THE News
believes I'm the amendment TO the state
constitution, IL IL Is 10 be amended, by
constitutional and not by revolutionary
means"
This sentiment was expressed by The
News i'm an editorial article today COM
menting on the proposed amendment to
the constitution popularity known as the
Initiative" In this feeling The News
is at once with those citizens who seek
to bring about the passage of the pro-
posed amendment.
They are not asking any 5000 people TO
sign petition 10 have this amendment
submitted at present; on the contrary,
they are proceeding I'm perfectly con-
sttutionai way I'm an effort TO persuade
tho voters of Rhode Island TO elect an
assembly that will initiate this proposed
amendment i'm perfectly constitutional
way
When this first step shall have been
accomplished the movement will go on
still In a perfectly constitutional way TO
elect a general assembly that will take
the second constitutional legislative step,
and when this shall have been taken the
matter will be laid I'm a perfectly con-
stitutional way, but on the whole cleo
torate. when IL shall be approved by the
necessary three-fifths OF those voting
thereon, the proposed initiative method
of amendment will be constitutional and
not revolutionary.
There Is not a revolutionary step in
the whole route over which Il is proposed
to travel.
The News is apparently laboring under
a misapprehension. Yours truly,
GEO. ID. LIDDELL.
