WROTE 1T HIMSELF.

The BRIDE" says the Greer (okl) Re-
publican, lis charming young lady, the
daughter OF aristocratic southern ances-
try. Until recently she was accredited
with possessing excellent judgment. but
when her prospective marriage was an
nounced those who knew us perhaps be-
gan 10 wonder. II is patent that she is
exceptionally courageous. The BRIDE
groom purports to be an editor. He is not
a politician, fnancler, society leader nor
pillar In the church. In fact, he is not
much or anything important. He is no
genius and has not mounted the ladder
or fame so high that he is at all Isolated
from his fellow men. He is kept too busy
endeavorlng TO keep out OF the red at
the bank to have much time for dreaming
OF future greatness. Congratulations for
him are at this time emphatically in
order"

DON'T DECORATE THE
PIANO TOO MUCH

One word as TO the decorating OF the
piano: Don't! Too much ornamentation Is
destructive to tone quality. You may
have observed that on striking certain
note it gives out a ringing, metallic sound.
After puzzling over the phenomenon for
n while you at length discover that the
sound is due to the presence OF jeweled
photograph frame which you thought add
ed so much to the ornamentation of the
instrument But IL you love good toned
piano better than you do bric-a-brac you
will cease to litter your instrument with
picture frames, curios and statuettes.

WAS GRAFT IN ROME.

American statesmen and trust company
men are not the only people who have
been forced 10 walk softly before the pub

1t seems to have been fashion as Ions
ago as the days of Cicero. who writes
that l.. Piso while praetor I'm SPAIN was
going through the military drill. when
the gold ring which he wore, was, by
some accident, broken and crushed
Wishing to have another ring made for
himself, he ordered goldsmith 10 be
summoned TO the forum at Cordova, in
front OF his own judgment seat and
Weighed out the gold To him I'm public. He

was sufficiently pricked to induce her to draw the
line somewhere and she drew it at Addckssm.
That the state has had the benefit of a sub
stantia slice of the gasman's fortune is not TO be
doubted. For more than decade the Addcks star
seemed to rise sink at successive elections in
proportion to the amount OF money he put into
the campaign. Therefore, to give her too great
a need of praise for taking mans money and
then denying him the thing for which the money
was given, would hardly be just
Col. Dupont, who was elected senator Tuesday
is weather. man than Addicks was or is, and
infinitely cleaner and ADLER 1t is to his credit
also, that he stood firmly by his original declara-
ton that he would rather go to the senate at
all than go there with the gasman as a colleague.
For Delaware the outcome OF the protracted
struggle has been fortunate; but it is nevertheless
to be regretted that the little state no longer can
find men like the able, distinguished and courtly
Bayards to represent her in the highest branch OF
the national legislature

USED HIS BRAIN.

A thoughtful conductor on an out-of-
town car has devised n plan TO keep the
seats in his car almost dry and his pas
sengers satisfied during n storm while
his co-workers battle with impa tent men
and women who complain about what
they call poor service. The man keeps
watch on the vacant places. and when
each seat Is filled the curtains are drawn
closely and persons boarding the car are
directed 10 the next seat. In this way
there Is no walking over persons and
crowding. In collecting the fares, the man
stands between the front seats and coll
lects from those sitting in the forward
half of the car. Then he does likewise
with the rear half OF his car.

ated considerable sensation. AS soon as
his majesty had been duly ADVERTISED
sets OF seven different postage stamps
marked "Sedang" and bearing three half
moons appeared. and so great was the de-
mand for them that In less than a month
they realized 1000 francs each. Not until
the king and his ministers had reaped fat
fortunes In his manner was II discovered
that the whole thing was hoax and the
stamps consequently worthless.

PARTISANSHIP RUN MAD.

Can any other reasonable explanation be adj
vanced for the fatuous and stubborn refusal OF the
board of canvassers and registration to afford ade-
quate opportunities for the working men of Provi-
dence TO register than rank partisan spirit and a
desire to serve the party that created and put it
into place?
Can its impudent denial of reasonable requests
for better registration facilities be paraeled any
where in Rhode Island? Emphatically no.
Everywhere else, in every city and town in the
state registration officers, whether Republicans or
Democrats, plan to give all citizens an opportunity
to qualify as electors without inconvenience or loss
OF time.
1t is only in this, the largest city in the state,
burdened with state-created registration commits
sion, that every conceivable obstacle that can be
made use OF without infringing the letter well as
the spirit Of the law, is placed in the way OF the
working man to discourage him from performance
OF duty absolutely essential to his exercise of the
franchise
The city clerk OF Pawtucket and his assistant,
both Republicans, have nearly completed tour OF
the wards for registration purposes. Although Paw
tucket has total possible registry vote OF less than
sooo the city clerk deemed it his duty public
servant to make these ward visits
In Providence, with its $4,000 possible registry
voters, the great majority OF whom are wage
workers. misft board OF registration not only
arrogantly refuses to visit any OF the wards, but
denies the request of organized labor to open its
Office one evening for the benefit of citizens who toll
during the day and who are, therefore unable TO
90 to the city hall without loss of time, which, to
them, means loss of pay.
This evening at the city hall hearing will
be given proposing eight-hour day for laborers
OF the public works and park departments. This
is matter in which the wage workers of Provi-
dence are deeply interested and doubtless hundreds
OF them will march to the city hall
Realizing that this would be favorable time
for increasing registration, the Plumbers union
quesed the registration board to open its office
that those who attended the hearing might place
their names upon the list.
Was this reasonable and timely petition
granted Not at all. 1t was denied as cavalcrly
and as bluntly as was that OF the representatives
OF the 1000 voters of the Tenth ward
Here we have case in which public officers
receiving the liberal salary OF $4,000 year for com
paratively little work. refuse to open their office for
couple of hours to enable citizens whose servants
they are, to discharge an important public duty.
Manifestations OF partisan spirit have been fire.
quent here in Providence, but none ever approached
in unreasoning this latest exploitation
by the beard of registration
1t is case of partisanship run mad but for
it an effective remedy will be found when the
people come into their own again after the election
next November.
