Many have purchased stock
because they have had con-
fidence in the Ross Oscillat-
ing Pump company and the
ability of its officers to ac-
conplish what they had set
out to do. We are now pre-
pared to demonstrate to the
investigator, beyond ques-
ton, the absolute mechanical
success of the Ross Oscillat-
ing Pump. It is now being
put to the hardest test that
can possibly be required of
pump. Do not allow this
opportunity to pass. Invest
in stock now at $500 per
share. 1t is actually worth
$500, and will be taken
from the market within a
very few days.

What Establishes the Value
Of Our Stock?

We could sell the patent right for the United
States for $l00o0,000
The different foreign countries should bring us not
less than $1O0oO,O00.
The manufacture and sale of the Ross Oscllating
Pump in the United States alone should bring us not
less than $2,5oO,o0o per annum net.
We expect to close the sale of the patent right to
Canada for $500 900 within the very future. Two
of our large pumps will be shipped to Canada within
the next thirty days. Our first fire engine will be
turned out Immediately Our company and it's stock
holders could make handsome fortune by selling the
patent right but much greater profit be made by
following present lines of operation and manuac
turing this pump for the market

mems auxiliary to the Charles Sumner
club. The body of the petition is as fol-
lows:
I'VE, the undersigned, petition you and
the honorable body of school committee
men. to give us some consideration as citi-
zens and part and parcel of the body poll
tic OF Providence and these plantations.
I'VE, as colored citizens, always ready
to do whatever we can toward advancing
the interests OF our city and state, believe
that your honorable body OF Intelligent
and fair minded men viii at your dis
erection give us at least one teacher In
our public schools. The schools in our
city and state are turning out every year
two or three young colored girls who are
competent to teach in any of our schools.
NOT UNREASONABLE.
I'VE make no unreasonable request In
petitioning your honorable body, for we
ask for one teacher, which is less than
commensurate with our colored popula-
ton; even Newport, with scarcely one
third the colored people which Providence
has. is fortunate in having a ooiored
teacher. There are few cities of any size
but have one or two teachers OF color.
I'VE make this request believing that we
are appealing TO men who will do justice
TO all citizens, irrespective OF color or
nationality"

and after weighing the whole rendered III
cents I'm payment The women objected,
and Oenstine then proceeded TO leave the
premises with hts collection. whcreupon
the two women seized hold OF the bag TO
reclaim their rags. Oenstine then struck
the Mcintyre woman and pushed the
other out OF the way and proceeded with
the rags. In behalf OF Oenstlno 1t was
stated that no was OF some what simple
mind, and hardly realised his sot Judge
