EAST PROVIDENCE.

The town is simply upside down on ac-
count of the smallpox case the plans
laid by the health officer. The towns
committee on health and the attending
physician were completely upset at the
special meeting Of the council last even
ing.
1T was the intention of the officials, as
stated in The News last evening TO trans
fer the patient to "A house at the extreme
end OF Waterman avenue. but as soon
the residents OF this vicinity learned OF
this they came In droves TO the office of
the superintendent of health, and filed
serious objection, but he could only re-
fer them TO the council and here they all
appeared, backed up by counsel and. II
resulted in a change of program, and that
the patients and all Of the family. 10 in
number. should be quarantined at the
house on Water street.
Now the citizens I'm the other sections
OF the town are raising q howl about the
cost, for no less than four men have been
engaged as watchmen to guard the house,
and the entire family must be cared for,
and the rent of the house paid by the
town, and IL IL estimated that the cost
Will be something enormous. The officials
say that expenses should not cut any
figure In a case OF this kind. for under the
circumstances the officials did all that
was possible.
Now, the matters have taken new
turn. there Is no knowing when the case
will end for the house where the pa tient
Is confined Is not suitable for a hospital
as there Is not room enough In the house
for the family boarders. physician. and
patient. and. that II will be impossible
to confne the case to the present one,
which. by the way. Is about given up by
those I'm charge, for there is but small
oh ~
1t Is also intimated that the nine ma
chinists who are confined in the house,
will sue for their wages which are, by no
means. small, for all are expert bridge
builders, and some of the leading citizens
OF the town are OF the opinion that they
will win, from the fact that the town
should have a pest house and probably
would have had one few weeks ago
had the council paid less attention to the
matter OF chief OF police. for the question
of a pest house has been taxed Off.
Today the officials went TO Kettle Point
to see house owned by the Richardson
heirs. but as this Is near the salt wa
ter some claim that IL will not answer
the purpose, for one affected with small
pox must not be too near salt water but
at present the patient Is alongside OF See
konk which does not differ much from the
water at Kettle Point.
IL rather looks as II Patrolman West
had come TO the conclusion that
the friends OF young Sheehan were
after his scalp, for he has made
transfer OF his propert yto a
friend. according to the records at the
town hall
IL is reported about the square this
morning that Sheehan will have To go
under n surgical operation and will proba-
bly, lose one of his eyes. The action OF
the council on Vests case which comes
up Friday, is awaited with much inter-
est.

New Shade of GRAY.

Very few new colors have come out
this year, but there is one that has
new name at all events. Ice gray 1t
is called, and the shade is really diff
ferent from any of the multitudinous
grays which have been on the market.
Ice gray is not quite smoke color.
nor is it at all on the drab order. but
it is an attempt at a pale. clear, trans
parent looking gray. A blush CLINT or
simmer gives it the name.
New color effects in dress goods are
continually being invented, and every
year we see more beautiful shades
than those we have known before.
The simple rinks and blues and hard
grays of ten years ago would hardly
be acceptable now. Softer colors and
complex intermnglings oe shades are
sought by the smart women.
The new ice gray is beautiful
winter tint. and is handsome when
made up with touches OF green, or
simply combined with white finished
by trimming of delicate frosty y-look-
ing lace.
