EAST PROVIDENCE

The East Providence Business Men
Will meet In their rooms in Tobin's block
Monday evening and will take up the
matter Of the voters appropriating more
money at the annual town meeting than
tho towns income. said TO be the
case at the last town meeting II is
possible that there Will be some talk on
the question OF building high school
building. The building on Grove avenue
that is now being used as such has also
grammar and primary scholars, and
there are many parents who rather OBJ
ject TO have their little ones attend
school with tho larger grade of scholars.
There Is also a movement on foot to es-
tablsh a sewerage system for which
quite a sum of money has already been
expended by committee to look into
the adyisability OF the same. and while
nearly every property owner is In favor
OF having the sewer system, many think
that when bonds are foated for the
same that bonds for a high school build
ing should also be hoated. A we'll
known business man on the square this
morning made the remark that East
Providence was far behind the towns OF
Cransto and Warwick In this respect.
At the beginning OF the new year the
school committee will find II quite a task
TO accommodate all OF the new scholars.
as all OF the schools at the present time
are crowded and as the population OF the
town is growing. the committee believe
that there will he at least three new
scholars for every one that graduates
from the high school.
KISSED AND MADE UP.
A man named Aldrich. living on Whel-
den avenue. when he went TO his hem
coop yesterday morning found that he
was three hens shy one OF the same
being a valuable rooster. The missing of
the three hens led to a little tilt be-
tween n mother and daughter, who re-
side In the vicinity of Mr.. Aldrich's
home, for when the daughter reached
home last evening her mother made
known the fact that the hens had been
stolen and then asked her daughter "if
she knew who took them" The daugh-
ter, for a moment. did not like the idea
OF being In the least possible way con-
nected with a gang OF chicken stealers.
flushed up and snapped out: why. OF
course, l don't know OF any one who
stole them" and by this time the
mother saw that she had said something
that she did not mean. for she knew that
her daughter was strictly honest in every
respect and the result was that the
mother wrapped her arms about her
daughters neck and the little "scrape"
was off.

CITY PRACTICALLY FREE

The Republican boss has withdrawn
from the executive committee oi the Re-
publican state committee. but he still re-
tains his membership as the Rhode Is.
land delegate on the Republican national
committee. The sheriff OF Providence
county has withdrawn from tho chair

are both in politics just the same, and
they will remain I'm politics just so long
as the corporations which control and In
fiuence the machine need their services.
"See 10 II. then. that Independent men
are elected on your ward committees.
and see that independent men are nomi-
mated and elected 10 the city council. and

HELD UP BY
THE SENATE

Washington. Dec. Ex-senator Clay OF
Georgia has held up the nominations OF
5. ], w. Scott to be postmaster at Toe
Goa and John T. A. McCuilen TO be post
master at Conyers. both I'm the state OF
Georgia. The officers are third class the
former carries "A salary OF $500, the lat
ter n salary OF S14oO. Both offices were
nlled by women. At Toccoa, Mrs. Hattie
Il. Gilmer has held the office for five
years. and at Conyers Mrs. Mary Mel
ton has been postmaster for IL years.
Senator Clay says he has received pro-
tests from tho patrons OF both offices,
who say that tho women were eminently
satisfactory.
The interesting feature OF Senator Clays
protest is the charge that the women
were removed at the demand of the Re-
publican referee, Harry Stilwell Ed
wards. Edwards, IL Is said. told Frank
general, that IL would be necessary 10
turn out the women postmasters in Geor-
gia and give their places To men In order
10 control the delegation TO the next ma
tonal convention for the administration.
Senator Clay, who Is "a member of the
senate committee on postoffices and post
roads. says the two removals are the
entering wedges In general plan TO re-
move all the women postmasters and give
their places to men. lie intends 10 resist
the plan as being detrimental TO good adj
mnistration. and not in accordance with
the announced policy of the president 10
make no removals except for cause.

Tho city Is to be congratulated on be-
Ing practically free from the graft germ,
declared Mayor Patrick j. Mccarthy In
an address at the Bell Street chapel last
evening ON the subject OF Municipal Re-
dorm."

fierce light that has been turned upon
every department OF the government dur
ing the past year the germ has found II
necessary TO retire, temporarily, at least,
OF that there has never been much oc-
casion for public alarm because OF the
germs activities in this city he did not
explain. lie showed. unmistakable,
however, that he does not believing in let
ting the Republican state or city machine
control appointments. ON this point he
said in part:
The Republican machine Is at work
at the present time, Il Is at work every
minute 10 get the majority OF the board
OF alderment 10 elect Republican ma
chine man to fiji the vacancy on the
Providence Police commission which is 10

The mayor explained the organization OF
corporations and how they excrted an
influence upon the political situation OF a
town. city. state and nation. and claimed
that the Interference of corporations for
more than a generation had been one OF
the greatest obstacles TO municipal re-
form that had been encountered. He paid
a high tribute 10 Governor Charles
T.. Hughes of New York, SAYING: Gov
ernor Hughes has done more for the ad-
vance OF the municipal reform move
ment during the short period he has been
a factor In public affairs than any other
man during his lifetime"
He called attention to a needed reform IN
the banking business Of this city. which
could only be accomplished he said.
through the appointment OF a bank ex-
aminer."
Then he tackled the Police commission
in part as follows:
THE first Monday in January the
mayor of Providence will nominate a
member of the Police commission. The
two members who will remain upon that
board are Republicans. and for that rea-
son ! believe that the member TO be ap-
pointed should be a Democrat. Not be-
cause OF partlsanship, but because Il
should be non-partisan. But the noml-
mating OF a man by the mayor does not
elect him Oh. no! lie simply names a
man. but II the board OF aldermen does
not want that man they simply wait any
time within seven days and appoint such
a man as they desire.

The ROMANS And The SEA.

Virgil is understood to have lived
long on the Bay of Naples, and he
dwells repeatedly with unsurpassed
effect on the literal phases of the sea;
Of the element at large he express
ses little but q sense of vastpess,power
malevolence. It is q toilsome and
perilous expanse, to be hurried across
and escaped.

their way with those works of pecu-
liar permanence; SO that today the
Briton traverses the original roads
meath their arches. But even in inn
perial times the voyage from Brundi-
SUM to Greece WAS something of q
hardship. The ocean was a thing ''be-
strew'dw with wreck and disaster" In
its depths Or on it's shores lay the bones
of those who had never received burial,
and hence could not pass over the
Styx.
When Tiberius built a yacht he float
ed it on the quiet Lake Nemi, and very
likely kept it anchored like a palatial
house boat. The sea lacked that es-
ssntial stability which the Romans SO
much valued. It was estranging. Ro-
man adaptability made it a medium of
empire, but never with the Viking
spirit.

WESTON'S ARRIVAL In CHICAGO.

Edward Payson Weston. the pedes-
trian, who is 20 years old, completed
Wednesday,, as reported that afternoon
in our Geographic service, a walk of
1925 miles. He did the task over mud
dy roads, through rain and sleet and
against keen headwinds. He faced all,
including illness, and he reached Chi
cago ahead of his own record made 40
years ago. He was warmly welcomed
in Chicago, and he well deserved this
reward.
For he has shown the country what
a temperate life and physical training
enable one to accomplish after the age
of three score. On Monday last he
walked 8S miles. Who else at his age
could cover so many miles in a single
day? He is plucky, and he has sue
ceeded in maintaining vigor and
strength in a remarkable manner and
to an extent perhaps unapproached.
His long tramp and the example OF
his lie and endurance should bring to
the attention of the country the value
Of walking as a method of exercise. 1t
easily eutranks rowing, horseback rid
ing, golf or any other known form OF
exercise, for it means outdoor air, mod
crate employment OF all parts of the
body, and it can be organized to afford
daily change of scene and environment.
MI. Weston walked from Portland.
Me-, to Chicago largely because he
hopes to. revive interest in his favorite
exercise, with perhaps some incidental
lecture fees to go into his own pocket.

True Cause of Disease.

TN these days almost every ailment Is
l. supposed to be caused by disease
germs.
The medical profession as well as the
people, seem to have gon mad over the
germ theory Of disease.
The universal fear and dread of dis.
ease germs is becoming q very serious
matter to the welfare and happiness OF
the people.
DR.. Hartman has consistently con-
tended through all the rise and spread
of the germ theoryythat most diseases
are caused by climatic Influences.
For instance, catching cold is respon-
sible for more than one-half of the ills
to which human beings are subject.
Danger Of Neglected Colds.
"A person catches cold easily, thinks
nothing about it, negIecfS 1t, when it
finally becomes settled in some organ
of the body, and chronic disease is the
result.

ming of the cold would have saved

Almost everybody knows this.
Instead of trying to .dislodge. or kill
some imaginary germ, if Peruna was
used at the proper timei its tonic proper

soon convince the patient that he has

A multitude of letters are received
testifying to this fact.
Keep Peruna in the house. Use it

sail, and sickness in the household will

"For q long time I suffered with
chronic catarrh of the nose, fhrOa and
stomach. L would continually tax
cold and my stomach was in bad condi-
ton. L truly suffered untold misery. 1

treatment of several physicians, but I
