Frank . N. Burroughs Expired
While Returning From Boston.
DID MUCH FOR PROVIDENCE
Was a Member Of the Board OF Rarbor
Commissioners for n Years, and a
Member Of the Squantum Club.

A few minutes after Mr.. Frank NJ. Bur-
rough OF this city had boarded the 3
o'clock train at the south depot in Boston
yesterday afternoon he was taken alarm
lngly III, and despite the attention or
passengers who went TO his assistance ne
died before the train reached the Back
Bay station.
When Mr.. Burrough boarded the train
several OF the passengers noticed that he
was breathing very heavily and acted as
though he were very much distressed.
He grew worse very rapidly and several
gentlemen went TO his assistance. He
became unconscious and died almost i'm
medately
At the Back Bay station the body was
taken from the train and conveyed to the
undertaking rooms of Lewis Jones q son:
The family of Mr.. Burrough was notified
through Mr.. Stephen o. Metcalf, who was
on the train.
Mr. Burrough was born In st. Louis,
OCT 8. 1s4l His parents moved away
from that place when he was only six
years old and came to Warren in this
state. He was sent 10 the Providence
grammar and high schools. graduating
from the high school when he was 10
years old as valedictorian OF his class.
He then went into business with his
father, who was the senior member OF
the firm of Robert s. Burrough e. Co. In
1860 he went to Chicago and lived there
until 1871, being associated with the firm
OF Samuel c. Griggs & Co., which was en-
gagged in the publishing business.
On the death OF his father he returned
to Providence and took up his business
as a dealer in oil, which he has continued
ever since.

been one of the state pilot commissioners

Citizens Divided as to the Lay.
Ing Of Rails In the Parkway.
WANTS A STRAIGHT LINE
Rhode Island Company Objects TO Curves,
Even Though Many Fine Trees
Might Be Saved.

The question OF laying street car
tracks on Blackstone boulevard and Park
way is still agitating the residents of the
locality and following the remonstrances
Of a number of those who do not wish the
place cut up by the rails of the Rhode
Island company. comes the advocacy OF
the measure by others who want the cars
run through the territory.
Yesterday General Manager Todd of
the company was interviewed and said:
'The city engineer has provided for a
track that does not follow a straight line
We are willing to build a straight track
in the centre of the boulevard parkway
or we are willing 10 lay rails on either
one OF two other locations. One OF these
Is at the side four feet inside the park
line, and the other Is four feet into the
driveway IL will be impossible for us 10
get up sufficient speed on such crooked
line and the cars would be liable 10 be
derailed"
In the absence of the commissioner of
public works. who is Ill at his home Mr.
Slade. his secretary said that II was a
matter for the residents along the boule-
ward to decide. The rest OF the city is de-
sirous of having an extension of the car
line to Swan Point cemetery, and II mat
ters very little whether IL is by way OF
Blackstone boulevard or by some paral-
lei street, not necessarily Elmgrove ave-
nue.
City Engineer Clapp in speaking on the
subject said:
1--WE have had staked out the space
which would be occupied by the railroad
II the track were laid out In a straight
line through the centre OF the boulevard,
and we found that IL would take % trees,
some of them the best In the boulevard.
II would take nearly the whole lot OF fine
large trees at the further end OF the path
way.
1.-The railroad company objected 10 this
location and they had a meeting last
week They did not proceed to lay the
track because the line was so crooked.
AT the public hearing on this subject
that was held last fall and which was de-
layed until after the vacation season in
order that there might be more interest
In the subject there were only two or
three parties present. and all were In fa-
vor of the middle of the pathway. Many
now say that IL ought never TO have been
voted and probably IL there was another
hearing they would oppose II.
There ought not 10 DC any track i'm the
parkway. IT spoils the place. II is be-
yond comprehension that any resident on
the street should want a track there.
They are throwing away all the benefits
OF a park.
Nevertheless, IL they want these
tracks I'm the centre OF the pathway. the
location that we have offered for the
purpose of avoiding the cutting down of
trees ought TO be satisfactory. Even on
what they may call a circuitous route.
the company will be able to run up to the
limit OF speed allowed by the ordinance.
IL would save the trees. and It's shame
TO destroy the trees for the sake OF
straight line

FOOTBALL MANAGER CHOSEN

on Saturday afternoon the annual cleo
tion Of the football manager for tho
Brown ynivers'ty team for the next year
took place The man chosen for the
position was willism A. Spicer. Jr. and
elliott Greer Parkhurst IL to be the as
sistant
The successful man was the assistant
thi. year and tlled the position with
credit Both he and the newly eleeted
assistant are Providence boys and have
been closely identified with all the inter
ests OF Brown. The election was very
warmly fought out and he won only by
n small majority There was some tail
balloting. before the decision could be
reached. but he finally won.
The next thing to be done now Is the
selection OF the captain for the coming
year that will occur some time this
week. There is some doubt as TO who
will be the successful one In this instance
hut the two most talked OF men for the
position are Cclter and Schwinn. Both
OF these men have played three years
with the Varsity and made good records.
As 20 these two men both are so popular
that n will be difficult TO select tho one
upon which tho honor shouh fall Colter
is very unassmming fellow. bu, no bet

of London, next Sunday afternoon
Matthew v:l-l2 was the Scripture pas

Appetite" With apt illustrations, he
expressed the following thoughts:
Whatever you and I are Is the result
OF appetite. IL a person hasn't any ap-
petite there Is no hope for him. Appetite
Is very bad when Il is depraved. What
ever you are is the result Of taking to
yourself something beyond you. There Ia
nothing more helpless than a human babe
The hunger starts, in one department to
another. and by and by there is the man.
Jesus recognized that an appetite is a
good thing. He said: Blessed are they
that hunger now" You can't make a
man by shutting him up. The human soul
is sent into the world with an appetite
The human heart has an appetite for sub
Unity. We like things old, in the same
way. We find the appetite in the passion
for beauty. Men give fabulous sums for
a little bit of canvas painted by some man.
because IL u Dedutllul. Inen we nave ap-
petite for the precise. the exact.
Everything we see was planted In some
human heart by Him who is all thinge
All these things are embodied in some
body. "Of His fulness have we all re-
ceived and grace for grace" Jesus Christ
was the Hero Of the ages for men to live
up 10. You have in Jesus Christ that
ancient ageless, youthful, eternal Being.
The grandeur OF Christianity is one OF
the subimest themes to feed your minds
upon. God is able to supply all your need.
The only way to drive out a bad appe-
tite Is TO get a good one Jesus said, II
have meat to eat that We know not Of"
Jesus voluntarily died. as He voluntarily
came out OF the tomb.
Yes, you can cultivate an appetite. II
you want an appetite for God, you can
get II, and He will help you. III the lives
OF great men have been made beautiful
by Christ, yours can be. Everyone Of US
has spiritual ancestry in Jesus Christ q

train?

shepard's moving pictures were given
yesterday afternoon ana evening At the

scenes from foreign lands that the ma

opportunity TO witness directly.
The more serious pictures were inter-
spersed with humorous ones which ma
terially appealed to the younger element

the series were those OF the Life OF
Napoleon" The Daily Life OF n Fire
man." little Red Riding Hood" Mr..

tone. sang "A Holy City with picture
accompaniment and charmed the audi
