Lothrop,s Providence Museum.

Military romance will furnish the dra-
matte attraction at Lothrop's Providence
Museum next week the piece selected for
presentation being Duncan Il. Harrison's
famous melo drama, entitled THE Pay
master" The story of this play is excep-
tionally interesting and instructive, being
that of a young Irish gentleman, Robert
Emmett O'Connor, who Is a lieutenant
and paymaster in an English regiment
stationed in Ireland. He is ia love with
Ethel Miley, who retuns his love, but in
Col Houghton of the same regiment the
Young officer has a formidable rival. The
latter finding that his rival is the accepted
lover plans to ruin him, and to accom-
plish this purpose he steals the regimen
tai funds and fastens the crime upon the
paymaster, who is imprisoned. He effects
his escape and seeks the real criminal.
He Is instrumental in saving the life OF
his sweetheart and although re-arrested,
is at once released by the confession of a
drunken sergeant who was an eye wit
ness to the robbery. The villainous col
onel is arrested and the hero and heroine
are united in happiness. Miss Katharine
Rober will appear in the role OF Ethel
Miley and Max Freeman rs Robert En-
nett O'Connor and that each will render
conscientious service in their respective
parts may consistently be expected judging
from their previous efforts this season.
The remaining members Of Lothrop's
stock company will appear in congenial
roles. The drama will be preceded by a
laughable farce comedy presented by John
Phillips and James Hall, the inlmitable
comedians, supported by the entire
strength of Lothrops comedy company.

versal of fortune was plainly depicted on
their faces. They were there as invited
guests. and occupied the position usually
filled by the gentler sex, while the young

choose their own partners.

CROP REPORTS

From Twenty-Five States on Cotton.
Corn and wheat.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Times pre-
sents special dispatches from its CORE
spondents in twenty-five states in the
Union, giving careful and conserva-
tive summary of the acreage, condi-
ton, prospects, and probable yield of
cotton, corn and wheat The states
from which the information comes are
the leading ones engaged IN the grow
ing of the articles named.
Cotton.
The significant fact about the cotton
crop is the decrease in acreage. That
there is such decrease is reasonably
certain, though opinions differ as to
how great it Is. Estimates run from 10
to 10 per cent. less in Louisiana to 80
to 30 per cent. less in Virginia. Drouth
has seriously affected the crop in some
states, in Others it is reported to be in
excellent condition. The total yield
will be less than last year.
Corn.
Corn has suffered from the late spring
in the great corn-growing states, but
more particularly from continuous and
heavy rains. In some states the blowing
IS not half done, while in others it has
not even been begun. Still, if good
weather should come at once. there
would be an average acreage and yield.
Wheat.
OF the great wheat-growing states
South Dakota is the only one that pro-
vides large crop. In Minnesota three
weeks of cold rain have made the pros
poets of the harvest far from fiattering.
Similar conditions have prevailed in
Wisconsin in less degree, and the out
look for large crop is not good.
Washington has enjoyed good
weather, and though North Dakota has
good crop.
From Illinois, Kansas and Ohio the
reports are not encouraging. though
these states have suffered from the
spring rains.

Gen. Charles E. Hooker.

Kanawha Gazette, May IL.
1t was a rare oecasion-the re-
union of the old Confederates yes
terday-which brought together so
cultivated, SO large and SO interest
ing an audience to listen to the elo-
quence of the distinguished veteran
and statesman whose name heads
this article. Long before the time
for the speaking had arrived, the
throngs which wendell their way to
our magnificent new opera house
had promised what soon became a
fact-the crowding to it's utmost
capacity. A throng of little girls
dressed in white and decorated With
flowers adorned the right of the
stage while distinguished citizens
occupied the spare room of the plat
form. The boxes were occupied by
ladies and gentlemen conspicuous in
Charleston society, while the various
ext Confederate camps, their friends,
families, representatives, people of
the community generally, occupied
to their full capacity the orchestra,
dress circle and galleries of the
great hall. The occasion was the
commemoration of the Confederate
dead on the anniversary of the death
of Stonewall jackson. Not every
man, even among the distinguished,
could meet successfully the expec-
tations of an audience like this. To
say that Gen. Hooker's magnificent
address satisfied and gratifed and
delighted such an assemblage, is to
pay to the eminent gentleman who
has thus honored our community
by his visit and favored it by his
Grafton, tribute in which the Ga
zette will enjoy the concurrence of
the community at large. Gen.
Hooker, without affectation, with a
beauty and yet thorough SIMPLE
ity of both manner and diction, said
enough of the war and its antece.
dents, of the causes which led to it
and the results which followed to
conserve the self respect and the
manly instincts of the veterans who
surrounded him, and yet breathed
with these utterance broad spirit
ed loyalty to the common flag OF a
common country which must have
been relished by those who con-
fronted him and his confreres in the
conflict of arms. 1t was an elevated,
exquisite touching, vigorous and
eloquent address. We shall be hap
Ply to welcome Gen. Hooker to our
community again. On his return
to his duties in Washington, and
later to his home in the Sunny
South, our good wishes attend him
and we bid him God speed.
