 The steamer was recently lowed from the New harbor at Block Island, where she had long been idle, to Fall River, where she was inspected by repre- sentatives of the American Oyster company, which took over the control of the craft, and by the first of April she will be going up and down the bay daily, the largest oyster dredger sailing out of Providence.
 For more than a quarter of a cen tury the Danielson carried the mails from Providence to Block Island, and during the winter season was the only carrier of passengers to and from the shores of Manisees. She made a rec ord as a wonderful seaboat.

Liviingston's
Store Leads

The recently renewed agitation to
induce the merchants of this vicinity
to- handle goods bearing the Union La
bel. produced some more results
when the enterprising manager of
Livingston's store, Mr. w. W. Field
man. induced his firm to introduce
Ladies' Suits bearing the Union La
bel, in this city. This will undoubtedly
prove an agreeable surprise to many
union men and their wives, who have
long tried to get ladies' suits bearing
the label. A reporter for the Met y
was given the first glimpse a. .e
line and 1t seems to be complete and
up-to-date in every respect. Mr.. Field
man assured the Majority man that
he would have enough suits this sea
son to supply everybody and all would
bear the Union Label He also said
there was not one cent added to the
price OF any garment because of the
label; in fact, the same low prices
that have made this store so popular
still prevail. The suits are all of-tne
latest style and come in great yari-
ETY. of cloths and colors. They are
well worth looking over and Mr.. Field
man deserves the appreciation of all
unionists for having taken the lead
IN handling women's apparel bearing
the label in this city.
