committee expressed himself TO the fol-
lowing effect:
II would gladly be one OF a select num-
ber of Providence merchants and busi-
ness men 10 raise a sum sufficient TO send
down TO Maine or elsewhere, and bring
a half dozen big schooner loads OF Ice here
and dump IL on the market.
"That would be the easiest and most
effective way OF breaking the ice trusts
grip on this city.
"Just as soon as the Ice we should
bring here was ready for sale at reason
able prices. the ice trust would be forced
TO come down.
"Why, down in Norfolk, Va, artificial
fee is made and sold more than 100 per
cent cheaper than we can buy4th here;
and II is still cheaper at Baltimore, a
more northern city
The fact that steam coal may be pur-
chased at Norfolk and Baltimore at slight
ly less cost than IL can be bought here
does not half explain the difference in
the relative cost OF making artificial ice
In the two sections.
THE cost here isn't double, or any
where near double. what IL Is In those
southern cities: and we intend to expose
it,"

The council met at noon in the office
OF Secretary George H. Webb and dis

more than half an hour.

MonOtonOUs.

A well known physician once told a
patient who he suspected was receiy-
ing too many calls from solicitous
friends to make stroke with pencil
on piece of paper every time he was
asked, "How are you today" The re-
suit for one day was just twenty-four
strokes, and the physician Immediately
gave strict orders that no visitor
should be permitted to enter the sick
room until further notice, remarkins
to the nurse that if his patient must
be worried to death there was at least
no reason why it should be done in
such an unscientidc manner. Only
those who have suffered serious illness
know how trying it is to be required
to answer again and again the same
question asked by one well meaning
Individual after another. 1t would
matter less if visitors contented them
selves with asking just one question,
but they do not, and the minute de-
tails of ones ailments become pecul-
iarly depressing after a few repeti-
tions. Many people forget that rest
and quiet are often invaluable agents
in securing restoration to health.
