Cutter Corwin.
The revenue cutter Corwin has arrived
at Fort Townsend after four months OF
cruising in the northern sea, says a Seat

Times. She sailed from San Francisco
June II to enforce the provisions OF the
presidents proclamation against sealing.
During her cruise she has sailed 9. 800
miles, boarded forty-nine vessels, and
given assistance to two vessels in dis
tress.
The Corwin was instructed to visit the
unfrequented parts OF Bering Sea, aud as
certain whether the seals were changing
their haunts. The Investigation was ex-
tended over a wide range. Bristol Bay
and the north shore OF the Aleutian Is
lands were included In the cruise, and the
almost unknown island OF Kunikaki was
clrcnmnavigated.
Capt. Hooper declares, as tho result OF
his observation, his belief that the seals
thinks they will continue to frequent the
old rookeries.

rarely seen in the farmhouses OF Liberia,
and many OF the town residents have no
time piece OF any sort. He adds that there
are few civilized countries where a time
piece can be dispensed with so conve-
niently. The sun rises at 6 a. m. and sets
at p. m. almost TO the minute the year
round, and at noon IL is vertically over
head. Many OF the people become so OK

are rarely more than quarter OF an hour

" Blue Jeans"

Joseph Arthur's successful picture of
Hoosier life, "Blue Jeans" was placed
on the stage of the Providence Opera
House last evening. and gave a large
audience opportunities to alternately
laugh over its ludicrous situations, sym
pathize with the troubles of the heroine,
shudder when the hero is about TO meet
violent and horrible death, and
admire the realism that is evil
dent in every scene. The story of the
play is not new, but its treatment is held
and commands appreciation in every
part. The stage setting is equal to any
thing TO be seen at the metropolitan
theatres, and the company is equally ar
ranged SO as to bring out every part of
the play in its best light. One or two of
the members of the company were last
night suffering from slight colds, but
that did not detract from the general en-
joyment that was occasioned.
June, "a poor house girl, who ambi-
tiously starts out i'm the world to make
her own way, is loved by wealthy
manufacturer, who, by series of pecu-
liar circumstances, is under the control
of a scheming woman. The latter is, in
turn, loved by the manufacturers fore
man. The poor house girl and the manu-
facturer are married, and the trouble of
the two commence. AS in many other
PLAYS the clouds of domestic trouble
become darker until the concluding
scene. when the scheming woman is
proved 10 be bigamist and is
compelled 10 secure her own safety in
flight. Old though this idea is the treat
ment is rigedly novel. Entertained with
il is political contest that gives an OPP
portunity for showing barbecue on the
stage with live OK and an excellent inn
imitation of the same OK roasted. There
is the village band that creates any
amount of amusement because il is.
barring slight exaggeration, natural. and
there is a charming love scene beneath a
blossoming apple tree that would make
the most confirmed bachelor convert
TO matrimonial beliefs. The saw-mill
scene with the buzzing, murderous look
ing circular saws is thrilling and brings
startled cries from the audience when
the hero. beaten into insensibility. is
placed upon the table and only rescued
by the brave June when the teeth of the
saws seem about TO hungerily tear into
mis- flesh.

Are there any bashful men now extant
among us? Not among the rising gener-
alton OF Young America" most surely.
Perhaps such may exist In the form Of
some antiquarian or library man, who.
when dragged from his lair may be COW

bow or frame compliment after the lat

lover meet one OF these recluses on his
own hunting ground and 1t would be
he who would be the bashful man. We

THIRD YEAR In PROVIDENCE.
CONTINUED SUCCESS.

During the past two years DR.. Strong ha
treated over 1900 patients at his Providence
Office and refused TO treat over 1000 cases that
he pronounced incurabe. He has conducted
the largest office practice of any physician in
Providence. His treatment of the diseases TO
which he devotes his time is the same as that
pursued by the leading physicians and sur
geons of Europe. During DIR. Strong's visit TO
Europe the past summer he was able TO obtain
knowledge Of the very latest discoveries in
medicine and surgery. His treatment of
Throat is the same as used at the London,
England, Nose and Throat hospital. His
treatment of the diseases of the Nervous Sys-
tenn is identical 10 that advocated by Prof.
Charcot and DR.. Brown Sequard of Paris.
All medicines prescribed by DR.. Strong are
prepared expressly for each case in the large
laboratory connected with his office. His Of
flee contains the largest and most complete
collection of instruments and appliances for
by any physician in America. A visit TO his
Office will prove this. He gives special atten-
tion to Chronic diseases, Catarrh, and all dis
eases OF the Nose, Throat and Lungs; diseases
of the stomach, Liver Spleen, Heart, Bowels,
Kidney, Bladder and Urinary Organs Rheu-
matism, Diseases Peculiar to Females, Piles,
Fistula and all diseases of the Rectum cured
eases caused by an impaired or abused con-
French method. Consultation and exaDlina-
tion free.

quires some very fine acting and the
company proved themselves fully capa-
BILE TO meet its requirements. Miss
Ethel Tucker as "Chip," is given full

heiress.
Josie de Voy, as a spinster ready to be
married at short notice, gave rise to con-
siderable amusement. Indeed, each one
of the cast sustained the reputation
which the theatre has so well earned as
a house where good plays are produced
with standard companies at popular
prices. The stage settings We're very
good, it requiring special scenery for the
production of the play. "Fogg's Ferry"
was preceded by laughable comedy en-
titled IAN Irish Stew" The play will
be repeated each afternoon anc evening
during the remainder of the week.
