What Was Said of "A Nights Trolic'' as
Seen Recently.
An exchange has the following in regard
to Helen Barry in "a Nights Frolc," +"
which will be presented at the Providence
Opera House; Queenly Helen Barry left
the theatre last evening with the hearts of
all her male auditors and the admiration
of all the ladies hers.
Ii was large audience, considering the
season, that assembled i'm the cosy theatre
TO witness the performance for the tirss
time in Lynn of Augustus Thomas x
amusing farce comedy " a Nights Frolic A"
This piece mas had remarkable success
full run i'm Boston, where Miss Helen Barry
in the dual role of Lord Betty and the
French chasseur has scored an unmistak
able hit.
A Nights Frolic " has been so widely
advertised by the many favorable com
ments OF the press that any minute descrip-
tion of its humorous features seems super
huous. The story of Helen Barry's esca-
pade in unmentionables has been pub
lished and republished. and has had it's
effects in advertising the piece that the
minds of the audience were prepared for
something decidedly original in her acting
Nor was the audience disappointed
Miss Barry has indeed created a new and
striking character, the originality of
which lies not in the fact that she assumes
"A masculine roe--that is noting new upon
the stage-but in retaining the characters
ties of her sex in the midst of her success.
She preserves her individuality through
out the double role in manner which
holds the attention of her auditors in
every word and movement and impresses
them with her wonderful powers of repre-
sentation in the most difficult situations.

These are Lively Days and Good Ones

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. %. - Last
nights meeting was without doubt the
most enthusiastic ever held in Hampden
county, City Hall never held so big a
throng nor, at the telling points, such a
noisy one Col. .sAllen said, in part;
Last year, through their misrepresen-
tations, the Democrats obtained the tenn
porary triumph, and showed TO the world
grown rich, prosperous and majestic
through the Republican policy of protec-
ton, in the attitude of rebuking one of the
most benehcent measures OF that policy
ever framed. This year the world and
Massachusetts, are twelve months older,
and the experience of the twelve months
has drawn the veil from the eyes of our
people On the Sd of November they will
declare, at the ballot box, their repent
ance for their act of a year ago, and an
nounce to the country renewed loyalty to
the Republican party"
Mr.. Lodge scored a good point on
Democracy by comparing the crime re-
cords of Democratic and Republican
wards in Boston. He said:
"There are fifteen police stations in
Boston. During the year 1890, 81, ,492
arrests were made by the police in the
city of Boston Thirteen Thousand two
hundred and six of these arrest were
made in the ten geographical divisions re-
presented by ten OF these stations, or

66 2-3 per cent. of the stations. The re

"Thus we see that these five police divi-
sions. which furnished two-thirds of the
arrests, gave democratic majority of
s774. Gov. Russelrs plurality in Boston
was l3.34S, and he got nearly two-thirds of
IL from the police divisions where two
thirds of all the arrests in the city were
made.
Look at station 1, the North End of
Boston. The number of arrests there was
$40. double that of any other station in
the city, and the vote stood 2077 for Rus
sell and 2S9 for Brackett. These are the
localities that give democratic majorities.
Go where they are and look, and then say
whether you think a party that gets its
votes in such quarters and begs for money,
through its state committee, from the
liquor dealers is likely to give Massachu-
sets good government"
