CARE OF THE SICK.
Third Class Has Completed Course
and Received Certificate.
Providence in This Work is Coming Into
Line With Other Large Citics.
Those who have manifested an interest in
the work now ecarried on at the Evangelical
Young Women's Christian Association,'§ of
training women for the care of convalescents,
invalids, elderly persons and little children,
will be glad to know that the third class have
completed their course and are now ready
for service. The examiner, Dr. George W.
Colling, when asked how the class compared
with previous ones, replied, ‘I should say
tnat they were fully up to the mark. I think
they will do very good work."
The following young women reccived cer
tifica‘es: Miss Mary L. Fryor, Miss Agnes
Mac Carroll, Miss Abble C. Noyes, Miss Maria
L. 8. Thompson and Mrs, G. B. Taylor.
The course has included thirty lectures on
general anatomy, with dissooting, and physi
ology with practical drill in bed making and
changing, bathing and changing the clothing
of patients in bed, use of bed pans, taking of
temperature, pulse and respiration, and dem
onstration of invalil cooking. They have
also had the opportunity of visiting wards
and elinis in the Rhod« Island and the Lying
i Hospitals,
The associttion would acknowledge their in
debtedness to Otis Clapp & Son for the loan
of varioes appliances of the sick room, and
to the superintendent of the Rhode l<dand
Hospital for the loan of a bed anj other assist
ance,
It is gratifying to know that Providence,
by taking up this wirk, is coming into line
with Boston and Worcester, where these
eourses have heen carried on successfully for
a wuch lo'ger time. New York has also
taken up the work this last jear. Every
where the plan meets the approval and com
mendation of physicians.
The work is not intended to interfere in
the least with that of the regularly trained
nurse, but to meet the need of those who,
while still requiring intelligent ecare, do not
teel able to continue the expense of a trained
nurse during the often long period of conva
lescence,

The graduates are registered at the E. Y.
W. (. A, rooms, 485 Westminsier street, and
are allowed to charge during the first year
from $5 tu §7 per week, and the second year
from 7 to %10,
It is to be hoped that a larger number of
young women will avail themselves of this
opportunity this fall. During the last win
ter it was often impossible to find an attend
ant at liberty to meet the ealls that eame for
them. Young women desiring to enter fall
classes should make early applieation, as the
clagses will be formed about September 105,

not tell. who threw him to the ground and
two held him while a third searched hns

m-wmllnr to his statement, to arouse the
officers In Providence. The man who
searched Carvall's pockets did it ina

back in the pocket. The only pocket they
did not search was the trouser’s pocket,

the only thing the highwaymen carried
away with them was a small plece of

head the highwaymen would sit on his
shoulders and laugh., When they had
finished their work or play whichever it
was, they warned him not to move for
half an hour and ran up the road toward

o'clock. The main business of the meeling
was the granting of liquor licenses, The

tion to sell liquor in the old Gorten Arnold
Stand in Oak Lawn A number of eitizens
from Oak Lawn were present with a petidon
against the granting of the requested license.
Rev. William Briggs %nd several others from

license. The opposition was unnecessary,
for the Council econld not have granted the
license to the applicant, for he is not a res:-
dent of the town. Gibson Holgate was grant
ed a license at the stund lately held by Carlo
Teller. Patrick Doud of Cranston has given
up his old stand to another to whom a lcense

be done only at the bidding of the ulqunru
in a regularly ealled town meeting, It was
suggested that Mr. Bloomer, who owns a lot
directly opposite the school, will allow the
