Providence extended it's city limits out
TO Cranston. Then the sisters saw that
the thing to be done was to give the
place. under certain conditions, to the
city of Providence. Rhoda died, but
BETSY. at the age of so, carried out the
wishes of both. She offered the estate
to the city, under the conditions that
she should be cared for for the re-
mainder of her days; that the tract
should be retained intact for all time;
that the old Williams family burying
ground on the place should be cared Tor
in perpetuity, and that the city should
erect a statue to Roger Williams, 10

is not without an element OF hulnor'
illustrating as it does the old lady's
frugal ideas.
The CITY Council had the matter I'M
der consideration for two or three
wears. Time after time it came before
them for discussion, but strange to say,
the city fathers could not see any use

tated, although it seemed an unthrltty
thing to refuse so valuable a gilt. FIN
ally a luminous idea electrified the al
legged mind of a member. lie asked
why they could not make a park OF inc
old farm.
And so it became the Roger Williams
Park, one Of the prettiest parks in the
country. and one of the chief points OF
interest in Providence. The old VIII
liams homestead, where Roger Williams
died, and where Betsy died two or
three years after her gift was accepted,
is retained in all it's primitive quaint
ness. Betsy's pots and kettles are in
the kitchen, and her old indigo blue
china on the dresser. and the curious
old colonial furniture scattered through
the low-ceiled rooms. Just outside the
door is the well which Roger Williams
dug. The old burying ground, full of
dead and gone Willamses is kept in
neat array, and the $3.50 statue, is there,
although another at the cost of some
thousands of dollars has been erected
elsewhere in the grounds. The Pro1i-
lence children like to scrape the moss
away and read the quaint Inscriptions.
The park nas been made one of the
finest in the country, and will he still

it was the old Williams homestead,

it fell to two sisters, Rhoda and Bet

when their father died. Imbued with
passionate devotion to the old place,
they could not endure the thought of
its passing out of the family One of
them taught school; the other sewed.
Eventually, through these avenues of
scanty profit, they paid off the mort
gage. Then they determined that the
old place should never be cut up, but
should be preserved unchanged for all
time. This was a very advanced idea
for women of that day. before any SEN

The two old sisters pondered long as

could think of was to give it to Gran

II,


Thomas b. Reed was elected Speak
err OF the House on Dec. 2, 1889. A
committee on rules was appointed, but
it remained inactive for a long time,
Mr.. Reed ran the House under his
own interpretations of general parlia-
mentary law What this was may be
ascertained by reference to the Con-
gressional Record. On Jan. Z, 1890,
Louis McComas moved that the House
go into committee for the considera-
ton of the District Appropriation bill,
under the rules of the last House. .
This motion opened the eyes of the
minority 1t was evident that the ma
jority meant to use the rules of the
Fiftieth Congress when it suited their
purpose, and to do without rules, and
work under general parliamentary law
at other times. The minority raised the
question of consideration. The
Speaker declined to entertain it. Mr..
McComas then moved the previous
question. What followed is from the
Record.
Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky
Pending that demand, 1 move that the
House, in order to give the Commit
tee on Rules a chance to make a re-
port, adjourn until Thursday.
The Speaker-The gentleman from
Kentucky moves that the House do
now adjourn. (The question was
promptly putt The noes seem to have
it.
Mr.. Bland-I rise to point of or
der. The motion was to adjourn until
Thursday.
The speaker-That motion is not in
order The question is now upon or
dering the previous question.
Despite the protests of the minority,
the vote was taken, and the Speaker
declared the previous question ordered.
On Jan. Fl Mr.. Bland moved that the
House adjourn. The Speaker put the
question, and declared 1t lost After
a division he repeated the declara ton.
Mr.. Bland asked for tellers, the fig
ures of the Speaker showing a bare
majority against adjournment. The
pages of the Record show the sequel:
The Speaker-There is no provision
for tellers. The chair recognizes the
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hitt).
Mr. Bland-I rise to q point of or
der. Before the result of the vote
was announced on the motion to adj
journ | demanded tellers. 1 insist up
on having tellers ON that motion.
The Speaker-The chair knows of no
provision for tellers.
Mr.. Blanu-1nen L uenand the yeas
and nays.
The Speaker-It is too late to de-
mand the yeas and nays.
Mr.. Bland-We have been having
tellers when demanded during the
whole Of this session.
The SpeakeT-The chair has recog-
nized the gentleman from Illinois.
The Record shows that BANDS state
ment was true, tellers having been al
lowed under general parliamentary
law. The Journal on the following
day contained no record of the ruling
on tellers, and Bland made an ineffec-
tual attempt to correct it.
All this was preliminary to the fight
OF the minority The majority in the
House was so small that il was appar-
ent no arbitrary rules could be adopt
ed until 1t was increased. Anderson of
Kansas: Cheadle Of Indians, end 9TH
ers were opposed to radical action, and
would vote with the minority to de-
feat it. on Jan. 20. 1880, John Dali

When the Christians in Rome null

the Jewish method of disposing

least.
Serious as the consequence of these
events has been in the palace and in the
government, the public, which is as yet
imperfectly informed OF the Kings &C.
eentricities, is impressed rather favorably
than otherwise. His refusal TO sign
certain DEGREES, and the continual oppo.
sition he raises against ministerial pro-
jects, have given rise to the hope that
the power is held by a man resolute
enough to end the evils engendered by
the unfirm rule Of woman swaying be-

pressure.
His utter disregard Of military prece-
dents has been much relished by the pop
ulace as an act of independence, while
his personal Investigation of an explo-
sion in the outskirts of Madrid at A.

so much the result OF enterprise as the
freaks of young and hereditary weak
mind, deranged by the sudden acquisi'
ton of power.

Writing of Prince Albert In an arti-
Gle in the Century, on 'grhe Royal
Family of England" Professor Oscar
Browning says:
From the first lie Prince identified
himself with the Queen in all her la
bors. They had one mind and one
soul. Rising every morning with the
dawn. the Prince went into his work
room, where their two tables stood
side by side, and read all their CORE
spondence, arranging everything for
the Queens convenience when she
should arrive. He knew all her
thoughts and assisted all her actions,
yet so adroit and self-sacrificing was
his conduct that all the merit and pop
ularity came to her. The people had
no idea that he interfere0 with public
affairs, yet, had they reflected, they
must have known that 1t was newt.
able. Once during the Crimean war
when the notion got abroad that the
Prince had interviewed, there were
talks of treason and Of sending him
to the Tower: yet on the day OF the
Princes death, on that cold. ice-bound
Saturday, Charles Kingsley said to the
present writer: He was King of En-.
gland for twenty years. and no one
knew it."
