IN THE AMUSEMENT WORLD.
The Providence Opera House.

"Mr. Barnes OF New York" will again
be produced at the Opera House for three
nights, commencing Monday evening next
and matinee Wednesday. Among the
many writer's of books and plays who have
added so prolifically to the literature of
the present day Mr.. Archibald Clavering
Gunter stands among the leaders. Mr.
Barnes of New York" quickly outstripped
all competitors for public approval, and
few novels with an American imprint
have been published which contained the
dramatic qualities of Mr.. Gunter's first
novel. Its stage reproduction was readily
surmised, and Mr.. Gunter in his adapta-
tion of the story has given TO the theatre
goers q comedy quite as pleasing as was
its prototype to the readers of current
literature. Mr.. Barnes of New York "
is even more Americanized in the play,
which is pleasant feature. Elaborate
scenery will be furnished and costumes
offering many happy contrasts will be
new, which will freshen up an already
crisp and exhilarating comedy drama.
The company presenting the play will be
practically the same as that which charac-
terized former productions.
Richard Mansfield will make his eag-
erly expected appearance at the Provi-
deuce Opera House, the last half of next
week. Out of the nine plays in Mr.. Mans
fields repertoire, Beau Brummell' has

a comedy of manners, which was prodigi-
ously successful in New York, where il
ran for over 100 nights at the Madison
Square Theatre, and has been subsequent
ly performed to overflowing houses
throughout the entire country. Mr.
Mansfield has extraordinary talent as an
actor of widely divergent characters, lit
erary skill that is delicate and adroit and
great ability as an artistic producer of
plays. He always seeks perfect and har-
monious results: cost is never counted; no
expenditure Of vital force or personal en-
deavor is too great. The public admire
and respect these qualities and that is
why Mr.. Mansfield is now in the midst of
the most brilliant and successful season
he has ever known. In most of the cities
visited he has broken the record of pecun-
iary gain;
Beau Brummell" will afford vivid
illustration of Mr.. Mansfield's creative
skill. IL is n wonderful embodiment of
character. The play has all the brilliancy
and sparkle of the old comedies. Its humor
is delicious and there is touch of pathos
in the last act which is most effecting
Beau Brummell' will be given Thursday
night and Saturday afternoon; "A Paris
ian Romance" Friday, and "Dr Jekyll
and Mr.. HYDE" Saturday.
Mr.. Mansfield will be supported by Miss
Beatrice Cameron, Miss Emma Sheridan,
Messrs. Harkins, Ferguson, Lander and
others who were in the original cast.
Quaint and picturesque costuming and
scenic effects will be introduced.

What the Force Bill would do.

The State speaks truly when it
says that the South especially needs
the success of the Democratic party.
Mr. Harrison stands more prominently
for the Force bill than any man in the
Republican party. He was relentless
in his aim to fix it upon the people of
the South. We have already seen the
result of his denomination upon the
colored people in certain sections of the
South. There have been more negro
uprisings, more negro outrages upon
defenceless white women in the South
during the Harrison Administration
than ever before. There have been
more of these outrages during the last
two months when Harrison's renomi-
nation was assured than in the six
months preceding. The State has no
unkind sentiments towards the negro
race, but it is not the race to rule the
South. We cannot close our eyes to
the fact that the Force bill means race
conflicts in the South, and a condition
of affairs worse than even Reconstruc-
ton days. 1t means the devastation
of every farming interest. 1t is this
monstrous measure that menaces the
South. We can have no ADLER and
stronger leader than Grover Cleveland
to wage war upon it; and there is to-
day no man SO competent to unite the
Democracy of the whole country as the
eminent statesman placed at the head
of the ticket by the united wisdom of
Democratic representatives.
