The recent election shows another

telligent men ought 90 be able to
mark ballot all the way through.
Sample ballots were posted and sent
out to every voter, and the News pub
lished for weeks a sample showing how
the ballot should be marked to vote for
the Republican candidates. Papers
representing other part es did the same
TO instruct their voters, but people
simply neglected to prepare themselves
for voting and went blindly into the
booths.
Some method of instruction for voters,
school or whatever might be selected.

registration for the year following a
presidential election as for that year
itself, but / 300 votes lost and more be-
ing lost every day in Providence is a
bad record

GAIETY OPERA HOUSE.

The five act Irish comedy drama,
"Cruiskeen Lawn" was the attraction at
the Gaiety Opera House last evening. and
while the attendance was rather slim
yet those present were given yeritable
treat. The play deals with the upper
grade of Irish life and has not dull line
throughout. The action Is brisk and
spirited and the climaxes follow in such
quick succession that the interest OF all
is kept at its greatest tension TO the end.
Numerous catchy songs are inter-
spersed throughout the performance,

third act a pleasing innovation was in
troduced Prof. II. j. Campbell exhibiting
IA series of very pretty stereopticon view :
showing famous places and notabilities
of Ireland. Thomas j. Smith AZ Danny
O'trien, the light-hearted Irish boy,
proved himself especially adapted to the
difficulties of the part, and. in fact, car
ried the entire performance. Charles
McMurney as Paddy Miles, furnished
the comedy aud kept the audi
epce in roar OF laughter when
ever he appeared. His selections
on the Irish bag-pipes in the
second act aroused the greatest enthus-
iasm, and he was forced to respond to
numerous encores. Leonard Rowe played
the heavy william to perfection, and was
ably assisted by X. i. sullivan, who
acted as his chief satellite. Miss Lou
Ripley as Norah; Mcguire, the light
hearted aud true Irish girl, made great
hit and was warmly applauded in all her
specialties. The "Cruiskeen Lawn" will
be the attraction throughout the week,
with the regular matinees.
