New England League Conference
Begins at Providence.
THE FIRST MEETING REID ON SUNDAY
Prominent Speaker* Address Immense
Throngs Who Assemble at
Crescent Park.
The first of the aeries of meetings
arranged by the New England Bimet¬
allic League in the interest of bimetal¬
lism washehl at Crescent park, Provi¬
dence, R. I., Sunday afternoon. The
session was held in a lajge open area,
the audience occupying the seats of
the grand stand surrounding it. All
around the platform on the outside
were the noisy money-making attrae
tractions of Crescent park which in
terferred at times with the attention
of the audience to the speakers and
with the ability of the speakers to
make themselves heard.
The platform W'as decorated with the
national colors, together with those of
Great Britian, Ireland, France and
Cuba. Judge James P. Tarvin, of
dwelt Kentucky, was the first speaker. He
on the imperial policy of the
McKinley. government and severely arraigned
Congressman John J. Lentz, of Co¬
lumbus, Ohio, was the next speaker.
His sarcastic references to President
Philippine McKinley and his arraignment of the
war and his eulogy of Ag
uinaldo as of the greatest men of the
century was applauded. Among other
things Congressman Lentz said:
“From Ohio w r e look to Netv England
with amazement when we see the
cringing Rervily of its masses to that
plutocratic oligarchy, which is more
arbitrary and more inconsistent than
any “You monarchy in Europe.
will pardon me for telling you
that the thinking people of the Buck¬
eye land are more thau surprised
when they find that in this old New
England country there are today so
many blind and servile followers of an
administration which cannot quote a
single thought, nor a single sentence
either from Washington, Jefferson,
Jackson or Lincoln in support of its
policy of imperialism and militarism,
in support of its British financial
policy, its British colonial policy and
its attempted British alliance.”
There was some cheering when ex
Governor John P. Altgeld, of Illinois,
was introduced. Owing to the fact
that his address in New York on La¬
bor Day was to be devoted to a detail¬
ed discussion of the monetary ques¬
tion, he simply dealt in generalities
at the meeting.
The second meeting of the league
held Monday afternoon was very
largely attended, and representative
democrats from all the New England
states occupied the platform.
Resolutions declaring for free sil¬
ver, against militarism and urging the
nomination of William Jennings Bryan
for president were unanimously adopt¬
ed.
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
was one of the speakers. Mr. Till¬
man said: “If it was right to free
Cuba because Spain was shooting Cu¬
bans to death, how is it to be recon¬
ciled with the fact that the United
States, who now owns the Philip¬
pines, are now shooting the Filipinos
to death. ”
He said that he believed the presi¬
dent is honest in his belief that he is
doing his duty, but claimed that he
only looked at the one fact that the
United States bought these islands
from Spain.
He asked where the honor was in
the Philippine war. South Carolina
will at any time send as many men in
to its population as any
state to any war of decency and hon¬
or, but it will not send a regiment to
the Philippines.
DISASTROUS BOILER EXPLOSION.
Five Men Killed at Republic Irom Works
In Pittsburg, Pa.
A boiler explosion at the Republic
Iron Works, at Pittsburg, Pa., shortly
before daylight Friday, killed five
men and seriously injured seven
others. A fire which broke out fol¬
lowing the explosion added to the
horror. The mill was partly wrecked
and the entire plant was closed down.
The explosion occurred just as the
night force was leaving and the day
force was going on duty, and there
were only a few men in the mill at the
time. If it had happened a half hour
later, the list of dead and injured
would have been appalling.
WAGERS ON COTTON CROP.
Two Prominent Galveston. Texas, Citizens
Make a Bet.
At Galveston, Texas, Thursday, a
wager of $5Q0 a side was posted be¬
tween Major R. G. Lowe, vice pres¬
ident of The Galveston-Dallai News,
and ’fhornas Taylor, prominent cotton
man. Lowe wagers that the Texas
cotton crop of 1899-1900 will be 500,000
baled short of that of 1898-1899. Tay¬
lor bets that it will not.
MEXICAN STREET NAMES.
A Fashion tn Nomenclature That Is Appal*
It g to the Strang;r.
The street names of Mexico are
something really appalling to the new¬
comer. Some years ago the streets of
the city were renamed systematically
with numerical avenues running east
and west, and streets north and south,
and although the new names are prom¬
inently posted on all the corner houses,
they are never used except in official
documents. Every one uses, the old
names. Many of these are place names,
or streets are. named for some oceur
rence or tradition, or for the character
of the trades that formerly predomi¬
nated in them. The number of names
Is infinitely multiplied because each
block is regarded as a street and has
a separate name. When the name of
a street continues the same through
more than one block, the various
squares are designated as first, sec¬
ond, third, etc. Many of the street
names seem very odd to foreigners.
Those named for the deity and religi¬
ous personages are numerous. For in¬
stance, there is the Heart of Jesus
street, and the street of the Holy
Ghost; Ave Maria street, and the ave
nue of the Love of God. Others are
the street of the Saint of the True
Cross, the Arches of Bethlehen, and
the Graves of Saint Sunday street, the
Bridge of Saint Peter and Saint P ml,
and the street of The Crosses of Sor
row.
Not only are the names of streets un¬
usual, but they are often found In the
most incongruous locations. For in¬
stance, if you walk down Jesus street,
and continue in the second block, you
will be startled to find that you are
then on the street of the New Slaugh¬
ter House. The Alley of the Egg and
Potato street are just as likely to be
the prolongation of the Back of Saint
Teresa street as any other. The street
of the Seven Princes may no longer be
inhabitated by royalty, but the avenue
of Illustrious Men was named for real
persons. The street of the Lost Child
derived its name flora a popular tradi¬
tion, but the avenue of the Fifth of
May was named for a famous battle
with the French.
There are a larfee number of the capi¬
tal’s streets named for living things.
There are the street of the Little Bird,
street of the Fish, Bull street and Goat
street, and streets of the Flies, Rats
and Roosters. Then there are the
the streets named for various trades¬
men, as the streets of the Hatters, To¬
bacconists, Coachmen, Milkmen, etc.
One short block glories in the name of
the street of the False Entrance of
Saint Andrew. The alley of the Little
Candle Shop, the street of Heads,
street of a Thousand Wonders, the
Square of the Thief, are other oddities.
It is not recorded exactly as to wheth¬
er Sad Indian street and the street of
Crazy People were named after those
who endeavored to learn all the street
names of the City of Mexico, but if
you at least feel inclined to use harsh
language after trying it yourself, you
should first go over to Devil Street
Modern Mexico.
A Georgia Genus.
A discovery has just been made by
the merest accident by the Yoeman in
the person of a young man scarcely
twenty years old. His name is Charles
Aired and his home has been at Theo
Hall’s for several years. Charlie, as
he is known in the neighborhood, is a
perfect genius in original 'inventions
with engines and machinery. He is of
slight stature, very quiet and unassum¬
ing and there is not one man in a thous¬
and W'ho would suspect that in this
quiet lad was hidden the peculiar gen¬
ius that makes great men. Charlie has
already invented, made and set to go¬
ing several engines and machines, all
of them being made of scraps of iron
picked up in the neighborhood. He gets
wheels out of cast off reapers and worn
out mowers and from old worn out
threshers. He has made a small trac
eion engine to run on the road and has
one set up in a little shop of one-lialf
horse power that runs an emery wheel
to gum all the saw's in the couhtry.
Charlie has never read any books on
science and the latvs that govern steam
engines or any kind of machinery.—
Wickliffe (Ga.) Yeoman.
His Cleverness.
Vice-Chancellor Bacon had an anti¬
pathy for one member of the inner
bar practicing before him. This man’s
services were not much in demand, for,
although his ability and knowledge of
law were undoubted, he was apt to
look at a case from an Impractical
point of view', and not to make the
most of its best points. It was com¬
monly said of him that he had a twist
in his mind. When this man w'as
about sixty years old, some one re¬
marked to the judge that he was very
clever. “Yes,” said the old man. slow¬
ly aud judicially, “he is a very clever
young man,” nnd. after a pause, he
added: “If he swallowed a nail, he
would vomit a screw.”—The Argonaut.
