The fifth edition of Derrah's official street railway guide has come to the SENTINEL desk. The hook is larger and more complete than ever, many new or extended lines having been added. This official guide is all but indispeusible to those who would attempt any extended trip hy trolley. The completed roads are clearly traceable on the Guide map, and the most complete, comprehensive and reliable instructions for "getting there" are found in its pages.

An Unfortunate Affalr.

Much sympathy is expressed for Mrs. Harry Corson and Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Corson because of the circumstances whereby Harry S. Corson finds himself in Cranston jail as a result of a honse- breaking raid in company with W. S. Nickerson of this place last Thursday night at the residence of Walter Fiske of Cumberland Hill. Mr. Fisk was going bome at dusk, when he saw two men drive from his yard. He thought it pe- culiar, and when he saw that somebody bad gained admittance to his home be concluded the meu in the team kuew something about it, and harnessing his horse started after them toward Valley Falls. Getting officers and arriving at Valley Falls they saw the much-wanted men in the team a short distance ahead of them, and in Central Falls they caught up to the team aud took them into cus- tody. They were taken back to Valley Falls and placed in the bridewell. A bag in their wagon contained silverware belonging to Mr. Fisk valued at $25.

A Worthy Object.

Last Sunday morning Rev. C. P. Os- horbe, field secretary of the Boston Sea- man's Friend society, spoke in the Con- gregational church concerning the unique and interesting work of that society among the men of the sea. His text was from 1 Kings x vili., 43: "Go up now, look toward the sea," and he spoke in substantially as follows:

"The sea is well worth looking at. It has a strange fascination and enchant- ment, especially for the young. From places far inland young men, won by its charms, come down to the coast and give themselves to the joys and sorrows of a sailor's life. They are separated from the counsels of parents, the teachings of church and Sunday school and the re- straining influence of home, and are ex- posed to the gravest moral perils. They need some one to take the place of pace of parent, counsellor and friend. This is the mission of this society. It aims to have every ship in port visited by its missionaries, and every sailor, fire- man and stoker invited to the social and religious privileges of its chapels. In- deed, at Viueyard Haven its missiouaty

"Is it. then, unreasonable to urge that the rural school grounds be made more attractive by the planting of trees and shrubs? With little expense the hare ground about the buildiux can be con- verted iuto a place of beauty. The pu- pils themselves, with the aid of teachers and friends, can do it. Is it not a work well worth undertaking? Moreover, it believes that the growth of the imagina- tion and the artistic nature will result; that the finer sense will be developed and

will be strengthened; that a love of the beautiful will be imparted which will last through life, and manifest itself in the homes which these pupils sball build in future years.

"From almost every rural school bave kone forth into the world men and wo- men who have won success" in lite. We are very sure that many of these,. if they were acquainted with your plans, would be glad to share with the pupils of to- day in the lionor and pleasure of embel- isbing the grounds of the old school- house.

"It is not generally knowu, but it is au interesting fact that it has been very largely through the earnest desire and efforts of the pupils themselves that our national flag now floats over so many of our public schoolhouses. If the pupils of our rural schools will uow take ttp the work of beautifying the school grounds with trees and shrubs, the movement cao be made as popular aud far-reaching in its influence for good

"Some one, however, in each school most lead in the movement. Who will wiu this honor in your school? The pu- pils must iusist that the school grounds shall be beautified. If the pupils show any earnest desire to carry out this work. they are sure to find willing helpers among the farmers and friends of the school. Women's clubs will always be glad to aid you. If there is an organiza- tion of the Graugers in your town, it will feel Louored by a request for advice or assistance.

Beautify The School Grounds. We clip the following from the Youth's Companion:

"Rural schoolhouses frequently stand small and weather-beateu, beside tlto country road. Many of them look about as they did twenty-five or fifty years ago. although they have a flag above them now, which was not there when the men of today were children.

"How familiar the grounds ahont the building are! They consist of a half or quarter of an acre of land, selected pos- sibly because it was good for little else- not a tree to offer a land's breadth of shade, or a shade or vine to break the monotony or to bide the unsightly out- building. Does it seem, then, a poor In- significant thing, this plain little build- ing in its patch of barren ground?

"It is the most tremendously signifi- cant thing in the whole history of the United States. It is ths cradle of Amer- ican education, the nursery which has always fostered, and still fosters, the na- tional doctrine of equal rights for all. "Under its roof the judge's son and the cobbler's boy fare alike, and grow up to know and respect each other. Men whose only educational advantages were a few years on the rude benches have won auc. cess iu every department of human ac- tivity.

visits ships at anchor in his uapbthia the character of those who do the work

launch to bring men to the chapel. The society works for all the varied needs of the sailor. For his bodily needs the re- lief work is carried on at all seasons, and especially after the storms of winter. Shipwrecked men are fed, clothed, shel- tered and cared for, often in large nom- bers.

"For the sailor's intellectual needs there are tables loaded with papers, maga- zines and writing materials, and a pack- age of good reading is given every man when he sails. For the sailor's social needs there are Monday afternoon recep- tions, where a committee meet the meu with music, song, games, etc., and there

salvation. For the sailor's religious needs there is ample ministry. Every day, when men enough are preseut, a little prayer meeting In the morning and au hour of Bible study in the afteruoon.

Every evening, except Saturday, some kind of a meeting and Sunday the usual meetings, and almost always an after meeting in the bos'n's locker, in which almost always some of the men ask for prayers and determine to begin the new life. It is found that the sailor is above all men receptive and responsive and when couverted has the courage of his convictions."

The speaker illustrated his points hy incidents takeu from sea life, and ID closing expressed the conviction that no- where is there any evangelistic work so full of hope and promise and yielding such returns as this interesting work among the men of the sea,
