HUGE PROVIDENCE
 FLOiT Nc HOTEL Million and Half Dollar Steamer
 Being Built MARKS GREAT PROGRESS Since the Time of Fulton Boat Build ing Has Attained to Colossal
 Proportions-slde Wheel
 CTS for Quiet Water.
MARKS GREAT PROGRESS

Boston, Sept 24.-In the century which has elapsed since Robert Fulton sailed his famous Clermont up the Hudson river in 1s07 mighty inland water traf- fic has sprung up and from this traffic there has been gradually evolved a dis tinctively American type of vessel. Of this type the Providence now rapidly fnearing completion for the Fall river service at the Fore river shipyard on the southeastern shore of Boston har- Dor is the highest development. To the average traveller who is accustomed to regard a side wheel steamboat as a srelic of a past age 1t will be surprise fo learn the new vessel, which is 10 cost a million and a half dollars, Is to be equipped with paddle wheels instead of propeller and that for traffic on calm waters, such as Long Island Sound the older type is still regarded by experts as the better The new boat is the pro- duet of conditions which exist in no iurher country and is the direct result of the great liver steam traffic begun near ly hundred years ago.
 In 1874 the first steamboa. on the Ohio and Mississippi rives made her appeaer- ance and thirteen years later the Chan cellor Livingston, which was taken from the Hudson for the purpose. made the first run through Long Island Sound from New York to Providence. The or- dnary craft of the early years were hardly larger .han q good sized tug of toGay and the Chancellor Livingston, with her 496 tons when most merchant mtn did not exceed 3o0 her 157 feet of

length, her S3 feet of width, and her depth of 10 feet was Ieviathan in her time.
 Paddle Wheels Displaced.
 With the advance of steam operation afloat the screw propeller soon took the place of paddle wheels for seagoing ships. On the Great Lakes, those mightiest of all inland waters, navigation is in many ways, much like sailing the open. seas and the modern steamer from Buffalo to Duluth, for example, Is a huge twin screw ship, comparable in size and power with many a transatlantic liner, and dwarfing a majority of coastwlse steam CTS. But though the screw has displaced side w-eels to some extent on these vast inland seas as it has on the ocean, the older kind of vessel is still found the more useful in certain calmer courses like the Irish sea, the Mississippi and the Hudson, and In particular on Long Island Sound. --fter all side wheels have been found better suited to boats of shallow draft plying over quiet ways at high rates of speed, and the steamers of the Sound have grown to be among the most luxurious comfortable and conven- lent of all the worlds vessels.
 It is of this type that the Fall River Lines new steamer Providence-the third of it's name In this fiotilla-now well along towards completion at the Fora River fitting-out dock, is to be the finest example, She has sisters which are longer than she Is, but none that can carry so many passengers, none so mag nificently fitted up. Against the Livings- on's less than 800 tons she shows above 5000 the pioneers 120 horsepower engines are pigmies In comparison with the new comers's 5500-horsepower equipment; and the monster of today easily pacing off her 20 miles an hour, would soon leave far behind the little steamer of three quarters of a century ago which made record trip of IS hour1 from New York to Albany, a distance now covered in about half the tiile. This Is the sort of steamer that has created, from so small beginning, a traffic such as no other course of length can boast; for in a single summer night 10000 passengers pass up or down the the 1S0 miles of the Long Island Sound roure, while the value of freight transported in the score of boats employed foots up to more than $200,OOO 900 in a year.
 Change In Contour.
 Even in the queer little Livingston there was a suggestion or the overhang- ing guards, the rounded paddle-boxes, and the tiers of decks that mark the monsters of the present service; but now these distinctive characteristics of the side wheeler's outward appearance are vanishing, The huge wheels of the Pro- whence, S5 feet in diameter are encased in the superstructure and the unsightly walking beam is done away with alto gether by tho use of incline engines which are all below the centre line of the crankshaft in .ne bottom of the ves- sel. Also, the heavy stanchons and trainings above, and the struts below.

1t Had Served It's Turn.
.he Cincinnati Enauirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Mrs. John Lyon Gardner, of Boston, ex- hibited some beautiful asters at the re- cent show of the Massachusetts Horticul- tural Society.
 One evening some one narrated to Mrs. Gardner humorous story of an exhibitor who had tried to bribe the judges of a flower show Into giving him all the first prizes. She commented on the story thus:
 The man had probably heard of the Cadi of Bagdad. This Cadi had been in his youth fisherman and, to keep him self in mind of his humble origin, there was always spread upon his dinner table a huge fishing net.
 People admired the Cadi for this ex- hibition of humility. He was rich and his house was sumptuous. But, amid all that elegance. the net, the sign of the mans lowly birth, was always prominently dis played,
 "rhe story of the net spread through the city, and finally it reached the ears of Caliph. He, in due time, sent for the Cadi. took him into his favor and made him his Grand Vizier Thus said Haroun al Raschid. we reward humility From the day of his appointment the Grand Vizier ceased to exhibit his fishing net. It disappeared, and 1t was never spoken of
 "Once. though. visitor. man of con- siderable impudence, said to the vizier:
 "'Why Is it my lord. that your net Is no longer spread upon your tablet? '"rhe vizier smiled and quietly replied:
 " It has caught the fish"
