The protest that was drawn up at the
instigation OF the Rhode Island Historical
society has already received large num-
ber OF signatures; and it Is stated that
the READINGS with which representative
citizens sign II demonstrates the exist
ence ofa very strong sentiment in favor OF
retaining the old market house." as one
OF the landmarks OF the city.
Those who love to revel I'm the history
OF the past feel that 10 destroy almost the
only landmark of more than 100 years ago
in this city and one OF the few OF Its
kind in New England. would be almost
sacrilege
The old landmark TO them is one OF
their dear associations: and many de-
sendants who take pride In what their
fathers did voice the same sentiments.
Prof. Wilfred Munro. one OF the prime
movers or the protest and prominent In
the Rhode Island Historical society. is
very strongly opposed TO the destruction
OF the building. and voices the feeliNys OF
the members OF the society. who number
about 400
In addition to the Historical society, the
members OF the Providence Art club and
the Rhode Island School OF Design have
all interested themselves In securing Sig
natures; and almost all advocate the res
toration OF the building TO its former con-
dition as was done with University hall.
There is drop curtain at the Historical
society rooms on Waterman street that
shows the building as IL stood when first
built: and IL Is the hope OF the protest
ants that the building may be so restored
as 10 represent what IL looked like then.
1t Is even proposed to have the iron rail-
ing replaced around the edge OF the roof.
The building is 123 years old. and to
restore II to Its former condition as near
Sfh m N A mi sohf
Professor Munro In speaking OF the
matter said that the Board OF Trade at
present occupied but very little OF the
space I'm the building, and thought It's
sentiment should not prevail any more
than that OF other citizens or Providence.
He suggested that IL the board wished
building more in keeping with the COM
merical advancement OF the city. IL should
seek some other location and build one
according to- Its ideas: but not for the
world destroy one OF the few remaining
marks OF that historic period when the
country was more than century younger
than at present"
The subject was brought up at last
evenings meeting OF the Board OF Trade:
and Secretary Webb voiced the sentiment
that the present building does not reflect
the business interests OF the city in
way that II should. but said that he had
no desire TO push an object that the pub
lie does not want.
President Jackson endorsed the remarks
OF Colonel Webb. saying that he was
sure that no action had been taken by
the committee on sites and locations until
the matter had been thoroughly can
vassed and talked over.
He would be dissatisfied with any build
ing that did not have space enough 10 ad-

similar character I'm the city

States AID FOR
TUBERCULOSIS
EXHIBIT HERE

IL is planned by those interested in Sc
curing for this city a display OF the tu-
berculosis exhibit shown in several OF the
large cities to ask the general assembly
at this session for an appropriation OF
$500. II being held that it's educational
value to the state fully justihes such an
expenditure.
Elsewhere II is stated, the exhibit has
accomplished great doing I'm awakening
general interest in the efforts to stamp
out and prevent the disease that is now
receiving state support in many parts II
the country; and those interested locally
In the subject are confident that equally
gratifying results, having an important
relation to the public health, would follow
here.
The exhibition itself occupies consider
able space. and includes important repre-
sentation OF the Pine Ridge camp in this
state. There are models OF tents and
shacks in which tuberculosis patients
sleep. and arrangements are shown
whereby they can safely sleep at the
windows OF a room. Photographs OF tents
and the outdoor treatment are also ar
ranged around the hall
Diagrams showing the prevalence OF the
disease, and diagrams OF the tuberculosis
microscopic specimens are also exhibited.
Probably the most interesting feature
OF the exhibit are two rooms, one OF
which is furnished as was actually found
in tenement house and the other room
put In proper sanitary condition. There is
a great contrast In the appearance OF the
two rooms. and great interest has been
shown in them by those who have attend
ed the exhibit
In connection with the exhibition, lee
lures are delivered daily by prominent
medical men and special days are set
aside for business men. working men and
for women.

the sentiment OF the community IL IL has
any foundation 10 stand upon. We have
here an interesting building, II might be
remodeled and restored to it's original
shape. but IL would not net enough TO
keep the board from running in debt.
'If we preserve the building and so run
in debt should expect the Historical So
ciety the School OF Design and tae Art
club TO come to the aid OF the Board or
Trade and pay their share for the pres
ervation OF the old building"
Colonel Webb told of various sites that
had been considered by the committee and
the reasons that made 1t impossible to
obtain these locations because OF the
large expense that would make II neces-
sary TO build large office building and
compete with private persons.
Finally, after some more discussion. the
matter was referred back TO tho commits
tee on sites and locations.
Secretary Webb OF the board OF trade
today gave out the following statement:
''The Providence board of trade, realiz-
ing that a substantial board or trade
building, which would reflect the solidity
of the commercial and financial interests
OF the city. in place OF the sU-cdffet city
building. would tend to Increase the tax
able value OF adjacent property, as well
as to materially beautlfy Market square.
and desiring for itself more suitable ac-
commodations. has petitioned the city
council for a 60 years extension OF fts
present lease. providing that before its
termination the board shall commence to
erect upon the site board OF trade build
ing to cost not less than 10000.
THE board OF trade has outgrown Its
present quarters and. dependent largely
upon the rental offices In the building
for its income. would be greatly benefited
by the erection OF modern office building
on the present site.
Every office In the building Is now
rented, inconvenient and antiquated an
they are, and with a modern Office build
ing In place OF the present structure many
more offices could be rented to that class
OF business men who are daily drawn 70
the board OF trade.
THE income OF the board of trade would
thus be enlarged and Its capabilities for
promoting the good works upon which it
is engaged would be proportionately In
creased
THE erection OF handsome structure
in place OF the old building would tend
to increase the value OF adjacent property
and would restrain officeholders from
moving away from that locality which has
been for years the shipping and whole
sale district OF the city of Providence.
"A slightly structure erected in place OF
the present dilapidated building would be
OF inestimable value to the vicinity In
which 1t is located step In the direction
OF Greater Providence which would never
be retraced IL the home OF that organiza-
tion which must be the father OF the busi-
ness welfare of the city is as IL should
be. built on line with and az an example
OF the public improvements which the city
needs I'm order to make II a greater ship

dustries of the state and would reflect the
magnitude OF the business interests IL

MISREPRESENTATION

We were led to believe that we were going to see good game of ball ana a, fair, square umpire, but oh what q deception and oh what a conglom- eration of ball players. We'll, when we say the lockers on were filled with eleutheromania after the game Is putting it mildly, but there IS lots of deception going on every day, For instance you can buy tea or COT fee from almost any merchant who has 1t for sale and he'll tell you it's the best in the city, but after you have tried 1t you'll be the better judge. Now If you buy tea, coffee, butter, cocoa or spices at our store you won't be deceived, because tne quality we sell always speaks TOT itself; in fact, 1t makes you call again. That's the quality that does not misrepresent, but on the contrary it's just what we say It IS.
