WOMEN
ACCUSED OF
ROBBERY

Two young men who fell IN with two
young women, had quite an experience
last night.
one OF these men was William Macart-
ney Of 10 Sheldon street. His compan-
ion was William Orme.
They visited a saloon on Eddy street
known as the Mahogany Palace and by
midnight Mccartney was so drunk that
he began splitting his money on the floor.
asserting that he could buy out the place.
Two OF the women who frequent that
vicinity were on hand and seeing that
there was fair game for them. lured the
men away.
The four went through Eddy to Pine,
thence 10 Orange street, where Macart-
ney fell.
While Orme was trying to get Macart-
ney 70 his feet the women were at work
on the drunken mans pocket.
They skinned out the money, 500. threw
the pocket book away and disappeared.
Mccartney quickly discovered his loss
and Lieutenant O'Neil. Sergeant Toole
and n patrolman got after the women.

NELSON'S
VICTORY
Celebrated

London. oct. 21.--In every part OF the
British empire today and wherever a Brit
ish man-of-war floats the Tooth anniver-
sary OF Nelson's victory over the COM
bined fleets OF France and Spain. of Cape
Trafalgar. is being celebrated.
On all the ships Of the ANY at a given
hour flags were dipped while the bands
played the dead march.
Nelson's old flagship, the Victory, still
lying in Portsmouth harbor. was decked
from stem 10 stern with bunting and thou
sands of electric lights were struck every
where FOR the night illumination OF the
old battleship. II was proposed 10 IL
illuminate Nelson mum on Trafalgar
square here. but fearing n tremendous
crush OF people with the accompanying
accidents the authorities FORBADE It.
In London the days celebration began
with the hosting Of national flags on the
Nelson column.
Immense crowds assembled and when
Nelson's famous signal: England expects
this day. that every man shall do his
duty was unfurled, a mighty cheer went
up.
The day was cold and threatening but
this did not deter the people from coming
out 20 participate IN the nations holiday.
Trafalgar Square. which was elaborate
" decorated was naturally the centre to
which the crowds ~converged and much In.
tercst was manifested I'm the thousands Of
wreaths from the colonies. provinces and
various cities or the empire. which were
piled I'm immense masses at the base Of
the Nelson column. Among the floral trib-
utes occupying the more prominent posi-
tions was n wreath inscribed.
ITO the memor Of the gallant dead OF
France and Spain who lost their lives in
the great conflict
Tho column itself was covered with coll
ored streamers stretching from the top OF

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1905-10-21

Allen +. Keith, superintendent OF
schools Of East Providence. as chairman
OF the Commute on legislation, stated that
the committee had no report to make, AT
the same time calling attention TO the
fact that the purpose for which the com
mittee had been working had been &C
compllshed by the factory inspectors.
The report OF the committee on educa-
tional progress was presented by superin-
tendent w. II Holmes, Jr., OF Westerly.
Charles s. Chaplin, principal OF the
State Normal School, presented the re-
port OF the committee on teachers salar-
les In Rhode Island. The report was a
comprehensive one. II called attention TO
the fact that in many OF the cities and
towns OF the state there had been sub
stantial increase in the salaries paid
teachers I'm the public schools.
The committee recommended that the
teachers an the larger towns where there
had not been an increase OF salaries en-
deavor TO secure such increase through
local influence.
The teachers I'm the smaller towns were
advised to go 10 the state for relief from
the present low prices paid them for their
work.
The committee also recomn ended that
an EFFORT be made 10 secure the enactment
OF a state law which would fx a mini
mum salary to he paid any teacher in
the various towns and cities.
The report Of the resolution committee
occupied a large per cent Of the time Of
the convention. Several resolutions were
passed. including one which spoke in very
terms Of the administration OF Hon.
Thomas b. Stockwell as commissioner OF
public schools.
RESOLUTION CAUSED DISCUSSION.
A resolution that the teachers eschew
the use OF tobacco because OF the moral
influence on their pupils raised a storm OF
protest.
IL was commended ny many that teachers
as a class did not smoke and hat those
who did were an exception TO the rule.
Several thought agitation OF the matter
would cause more smoking among the
youth OF the state, especially in the cities
and larger towns, and thus be productive
more harm than good. while others said
a teacher could not consistently talk TO his
classes OF the evil OF tobacco using and
then appear before them as n smoker.
The discussion waxed quite warm. when
