He has abdicated government here

He has plundered our seas, a

pie.
He is at this time transporting
large armies of foreign m~ercenaries
to complete the works Of death,
d~esolationy and tyranny already be-

and perfidy scarcely paralleled in
the most barbarous ages, and to-

He has constrained Our fellow
citizens, taken captive on the high
seas, to bear arms against their
country, to become executioners of
their friends and brethren, or to fall
themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrec-
ton among us, and has endeavored
to bring on the inhabitants of our
frontiers the merciless Indian saw
ages, whose known rule OF war
fare is an undistinguished destruc-
ton of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppres-
sions we have petitioned for redress
in the most humble terms; our re-
peated petitions have been answered
only by repeated injury. A prince
whose character is thus marked by
every act which may define a tyrant
is unfit to be the ruler Of a free
people.
Nor have we been wanting In our
attentions to our British brethren.
We have warned them, from time to
time, of attempts by their legislature
to extend an -unwarrantable juris-
diction over us. We have reminded
them of the circumstances of our
emigration and settlement here. We
have appealed to their native justice
and magnanimity; and we have con

"Confdence Man" Is Held
 By Police in Providence

Providence. R. l., Aug. 26. Pt- Jackie" Ford, characterized by the police as "one of the slickest confi- dence men in the country" and a man giving the name Lewis Field, of Boston. are held by the police in connection with the attempted swindle of William E. Bowen, wealthy East Providence ice dealer. Police believe they may be wanted in other cities.
 Bowen says the pair made him a flattering offer for mining stock he owned, and also tried to get him to procure more share for them from a Mrs. Wentworth of New port" They were to handle the latter transaction for him, using his $20,000 check in payment and were then to buy the stock from him. He consulted the police, who told him to "go through" with the deal and write the check, but he refused.
 Ford and Field were arrested by Providence police when they met Bowen at bank today for prear- rangement.

There was volume. all right, but the stations in many cases were unable to get through thee ontinuous rain of slag and brickbats which fell against our aerial.

The only fault we had to find was that Jacks bass, not very difficult one to be sure, was bit too heavy at times. He proved that he is master of the kitten on the Keys variety of numbers, and his work entities him to a place on later pro- grams. He offered Hopping The Ivories'' and "All Hot" the latter one of his own, original compost tionS.

We scraped the prongs Of all the tubes, cleaned the contact points on 1 the sockets, went over all the bat | tery wires, cleaned the terminals on l the "A'' battery, and as q reward for our trouble we found that the noise was still wit hus, a little louder than before, perhaps, but still the same old noise.

Let well enough alone.
 For a change WEAF, New York, came through audibly during the early part of the evening, and we heard the United States army band in one selection, or rather one group of selections, since that organization was afflicted with medleyitis and it insisted upon presenting group of old World War songs all rolled up together.

 Felix Livingston and his Little Tin Whistle," from WEE, was good, if you enjoy that sort of thing. We listened through several selections and came to the conclusion that we wouldn't care to go on a steady diet of that type of music. Livingston is to be plimented, because his work was excellent, but if he wants to appear before the microphone very often he should seek a differ ent means of expression. Like all novelties, the whistle appealed last evening because it was the first time the nate was too thin, and in the second place it sounded much like Whistling solo, and you know how whistling solos sound on the air.
