shaun Rhue" was given last night at
the Providence Opera House before an
audience which crowded the house from
pit to dome. Even standing room was at
a premium. IL is a tale of Irish love and
the warm sympathy and natural wit of
the Irish is admirably portrayed. Joseph
Murphy Is unquestionab!y great come
dian. He plays the part of Larry Dono-
van. His manners seemed in no way
affected and his ready wit kept the house
in a roar. His grief seemed TO come
from the heart and the eyes of many were
wet with tear ..E.hen he says farewell to
his sister when driven from his fathers
roof. The visit 10 his mothers grave in
the second act was extremely sad and the
singing of "a Handful of Earth" was
greeted with loud applause. His presence
gives great interest TO the play and his
great talent puts 10 at high standard.
The company showed careful selection.
All seemed careful and painstaking i'm the
portrayal OF their parts and all are worthy
Of commendation. The play is not new
and its story does not need To be told
IL has always drawn large audiences and
well deserves TO be called an everlasting
success
'Shaun Rhue" will be presented again
this evening, Kerry Cow" will be given
Tomorrow afternoon and evening.

SECRETARY OF STATE
Mr.. Utter Tells How Registration
Was Doomed in'WesterIy.
THE TARIFF IS A GREAT ISSUE.
Westerly Merchants and Laborers Directly
Benefited by the Mckinley Bin-Gran-
lite Cutters Not Caught with Demo-
cratic Chan-Rhode Islands Election.

Secretary Of State George H. Utter, of
Westerly, is one of the progressive and
aggressive Republicans of the State who
make their presence felt in politicle cir
cles. Speaking of the registration in his
town he says:
"We doomed the registration in Yves
terly in most effective manner. 1t has
been the custom TO keep the books at the
town hall, which everybody must know is
not the best way to get large registra-
tion. Believing that better results were
TO be obtained IL we could open a central
registration bureau, we hired store down
town and had the registration books
brought to il.
"Then we made canvass OF the ma
terial we had TO work upon and we kept
at the eligible ones until we secured at
least one hundred new names, and we
have eight more voters 10 add TO the list
when the time comes for them to take out
their final papers, which will be in time
for them to vote at the presidential cleo
tion.
"That Westerly will be all right on the
Republican State and legislative tickets
goes without saying. The town is so
strongly Republican that IL can be counted
on at all times TO do its duty by the party
"You see that in Westerly we are hav-
ing practical illustrations of the benefits
to be derived from the Mckinley bill.
There are the granite cutters, for instance.
They know too much to be caught with
Democratic chaff. They know that Scotch
scratch granite can be laid down in New
York almost as cheaply as granite can tie
quarried here unless some restrictions are
placed upon the importations that will
protect the American laborers in the quar-
ries, and they are looking TO the Republi-
can party for that protection.
"The Clark Thread Company, which is
to remove from Newark to our town will
give an impetus TO the town and be of
substantial benefit to tradespeople as we'll
as the wageworkers, and for this reason
Westerly will stand by the tariff issue.
II look for a lively campaign through
out the State, and the complete victory of
the Republican party. The national cam
paign is to begin to boom with our State
election. The Republicans realize what
this means, how important il is that
Rhode Island should be in the right col
umn when the counting is done, and they
will see TO it that the stay-at- homes are
reached, and that great and winning
vote is rolled up for the good effect it will
have in the other States.
"Of course il is too early to tell Just yet
how the new registration is divided
throughout the State; but am confident
that when the time comes to show hands
that the Democrats will be staggered by
the number of trumps we hold"

MR.. SWEET FAVORED.


His Former Associates Made "a Presen-
tation tn Him,
Frank l.. Sweet. who has severed his
connection with the Telegram and accept
ed position as bookkeeper for the News,
was treated to genuine surprise last
evening at his home. ia Dexter street,
The employees of the Telegram made him
a call and presented him with beautiful
marine picture done in pastel by Gibbs;
with a handsome carved gilt frame about
2x3 feet in size.
George French, the editor of the Tele-
gram, made the presentation with appro-
pirate remarks. Mr.. Sweet was so com
pletely taken off his feet by surprise that
he could hardly say a word, but finally
managed to express his thanks in few
well-chosen sentences. The evening was
passed very pleasantly with music, games,
etc
The picture was purchased at the Bos.
ton Store, and wnen its destination was
learned, two or three members of the firm
asked TO be allowed TO contribute. This
shows the esteem in which Mr.. Sweet Is
held, not only among his former asso-
ciates but in business circles as well.
