TEWKSBURY ALMSHOUSE.

Still Contradicting Buffers Witnesses
A Legislative Committee Visit the Insti-
tuition.
BOSTON, May 25.AAt the Tewksbury hear
ing to-day Henry A. Smith of Tewksbury, who
was designated by former witness as the only
decent man at the institution, said he had new
or heard Of any one being struck or used i'm
properly until within two months.
Phebe B. Speere, formerly matron of the
Chardon Street Home testified that il was the
custom to send the more miserable of the in
fants to Tewksbury. The inmates. in her opin-
ion, were as well treated at Tewksbury as at
the home. Sne had heard complaints of
Tewksbury but this class of people always
complained of everything.
DIR. Q. q. Marston, an assistant at Tewks-
bury from 1876 to 1877, said the hopital there
had every requisite except attendants. The
food was wholesome and never knew child to
die of starvation. He never knew of filthy CT
rotten beds, nor heard of complaints against
the nurses Butler, Dudley and French.
A Legislative party consisting of about one
hundred and forty members of the House, a
few Senators and officers and invited guests
bringing a total of 200 visited Tewksbury
almshouse this afternoon. An hour aud a
half was spent in inspecting the almshouse
and in conversation with the inmates. A con-
siderable number of Democrats were in the
party but the absence of lea6 ng representa-
tives of that party was quite noticeable. The
general sentiment of the visitors appeared to
be that the cleanliness of all the departments
was very remarkable but that there is q
marked deficiency in the number Of attend
ants and that the State could well afford a
more liberal diet, especially to hospital pa
tients- Bread, for the collation. which was
sent from Boston, did not arrive and the Wis.,
itors used almshouse bIoad baked before their
visit had been decided upon. The good quail
ity OF it was acknow ledged.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
IN PARADISE.

IN PARADISE.
1t makes little difference what character
Mr.. John T. Raymond assumes, whether Col.
Sellers, or the insurance agent, or major Bob
Better, sahl" in Paradise" he invests the
character with a subtle humor, and acts it so
easily and naturally, that he carries his audi
ence with him from the start. There is nothing
specially new in Jessop and Gill's comedy
drama SIN Paradise. but the situations are
capitaly worked up, and the slang is admirably
handled. Every curtain is called sdmidst the
hearty laughter of the audience. The support
was very fair. Miss Stella Boniiace is well
known from her former performances on the
wallack stage and acted Melia with much dra-
matte force. Miss Creess was good represen-
tative Of the boarding-school principal, Miss
Fogg. Mr.. Deverner an easy polished villain
as Francis Rawdon, Mr.. PiersoD, cool, gentle-
manly and forceful as Steve Dallor, Mr.. Mar
BILE a capital lawyers clerk aud Mr.. Thompson
a fair "old joe. The second act is the best,
although the scene between Major Bob and
Priscilla in the third is very amusing
The matinee and evening performance to-
day should be crowded.
TOM THUMB.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Thumb had good audien-
erces at City Hall yesterday afternoon and ev-
ening. The various features OF the entertain
ments all gave great pleasure for they were all
excellent Of their kind. Mrs. Thumb is espec-
tally pleasing and the ladies were quite en-
thusiastic over her Remember that there will
be entertainments this afternoon and evening
THE LYcEUM.
To-day and evening afford the last opportu-
mites to see the pleasing bill that has delighted
the patrons Of this house the past week. The
bill grows better ON each presentation.

work, a roll of bills amounting TO $40, and a

But really mean to begin some day;
I'm emily little girl now"
And the years pass on.

Of the world with all its dazzling toys;
But I'm only young girl now"

"Ah metz sighed woman gray with years
Her heart full Of cares and doubts and fears
1--WE kept putting off the time to be good
Instead OF beginning to do ~ shouldj
But I'm an old woman now."
And so the years pass on
Now is the time to begin to do right;
To-day, whether skies be dark or bright,
Make others happy by good deeds OF love
Looking to Jesus for help from above,
And then you'll be happy now,
And as the years pass on.
