A Rjeb Lady. Heroic Rescue of . Dor.

A small dirty looking fox-terrier dog which MS being kicked around on Fountain street, Providence, last Fri- day, found strong champion in Miss Alice Nightingale, daughter of George C. Nightingale, millionaire, owner of the "Nightingaie Mills u of Putnam.
 Miss Nightingale saw d man, whose name could not be learned, kicking the little dog around the sidewalk, the lit- tie creature shrinking away and yelp ing.
 Miss Nightingale, rushed over grab bed the mans shoulder, and told him to stop kicking. the dog or she would have him arrested. Then Miss Night ingalettold the crowd what she thought of their action, saying in sharp tones, "You ought to be ashamed of your- selves to even allow such n thing.'
 When no one could be found who would admit he owned the dog, she took 1t by the head, and asked pa trolman If she could have 1t. As there was no one to claim the dog, the officer tied rope on the dog and gave the ani- maj to her.
 Such kindly net carries with 1t q force for good whose impress was felt beyond those who witnessed it.

Wilkinson Place.

Spring work, to finish the Gafgill Falls Park, k is now in active progre s. Arrangements are being made for a substantial ornamental fence to be place shortly along the highway.
 A most gratifying and timely dona. ton to add to the improvements al the Park, was that of ]. II. Rowditeh, of Boston. He wrote 10 Geo. l.. shaw, Se- eretary of the executive committee, offering to donate such trees and shrubs as his committee chose to select from his Pomfret nurseries. To his sener- ous donation he writes that he has in- structed his foreman in charge, Ellery Baker, to deliver the acquisition.
 George Lowry has been engaged to set the trees and shrubs out, which is an assurance that the work will be done in thorough manner.
 As so many friendly people, interest to calling it park. on account of its limited area, Mir. shaw suggests call- ing it "Nilkinson Place, and chooses this name fer the following considera- tions. The Aame of Wilkinson Is as socialed with the early history ef the town as is no other name. This would be the first altempt of anything of the Kind to memorialize his name, and IL would well become him to have his name associated with the earliest of our ely parks.
 The atreneh,n so-called, running by the park property, was the main chan mel that led to system of ditehes which irrigated the entire intervale below. These ditehes are we'll temem- bered by the oldest residents. Their remnants are still to be seen along their course.
 The final decision for the permanent name Of the park may be properly left to its contributing friends, who, m, doubt, lhave preferences, and should have an opportunity of expressing them.
 MT. .E. Shaw has said all along that the name adopted was only temporary until the enterprise was completed. His suggestion of having Wilkinson's name coupled with the park Is appro- priate, and we think will be received with favor.

The May " D,aner.
AT HAMMOND HALL, APRIL so.

The ladies of the @oman's Board are actively at work preparing for the May Dinner, which is 10. he glsen tn Ham- moud Hall next week Saturday, from Il o'clock q. m. to P. III. The full de- tails will be given in our next issue.
 The ladies earnestly desire te eall the attention of the public to the need Of funds for completing and furnishing of the maternity ward and nurses rooms of the new wing ef the Day kimhall Hospital.
 IL has been the privilege of the We man s Board to supply all needed equip ments of this sort In the past, and they still expect to assume all necessary oe- ligations of this character. But owing to their gift, last autumn, of Si 900 to help complete the new wing, as aIneces- ary contribution to the building fund to insure its construction te hestn last fall, and the appropriation of aa addi- tionai s500--thc gift of Mrs. ], <. Bard to their treasury for soiarium--has somewhat reduced their treasury funds at the present tlme. They therefore feel compelled to solicit an extensive patronage to their forthcoming May Dinner, aud also call attention to the need of the completion of the "Milc of Dimes as speedily as possible. This latter can he done by filling and 10. turning the dainty folders given ont hN Mrs. Warren Avefili, of femffet. IL can be aided also hs gifts of money aud offers to purchase individual needed artieles-pfiees of which may be obs tained from Mrs. (. Q. Thompson, the chairman of the House Committee.
 The May Dinner had for one of Its objects the uniting of all the people of the city fraternally In assisting In car rying on the philanthropic work of sup porting the Hospital. A great deal has been done In this respect, we are glad to say. But more can be done of this character. There are large number in this city who cannot spare the price of a dinner ticket, but should meet on this occasion with those who can, and De made to feel that they have com. mon interest in the benevolent service rendered by our Hospital, which tcsti- fies to the noble service the communl- ty has and is rendering to suffering ha- manity It will do such people good to have their sympathies aroused by attending the fraternal entertainment. It will not only be an assurance to them of goodwill but benediction to any one being the means of giving them n new and great pleasure. There are hundreds of such deserving people In this city who should be hunted up and provided with dinner tickets, and in so doing the doer will render double kindly deed.
 To sell the largest number of din ner tickets possible, the committee of fer the boy or girl, or grown person, a prize of si to the one selling the most tickets for the May Dinner !; a second prize Of 75 cents to the one selling the second highest number.
