An audience numbering nearly 1000
persons greeted the amateur actors at the
opera house last evening TO listen to the
five act drama, Cast Upon the World, "
produced under the direction of Major
James w. Smyth, the proceeds to go TO
the Day Nursery and Children's Home.
The young actors did exceedingly well, a
great deal OF the work doing credit TO pro-
fessionals In the fifth act Miss Evelyn /.
Lee sang The Graves of "a Household, " and
Major James w. Smyth recited an origi-
nal poem. The following were the per-
formers: Mrs. Charles +. Thayer, Henry
+. Whitney, Charles O. Buckle, Frank L..
Gould, Edward B. Lally, Ernest f..
Daniels, John H. Bailey, Sr. William NJ.
Marty, Frank i, Gray. Addison McGafTey,
Harry III. Arnold. Miss Bessie Arnold,
Mrs. Henry +. Whitney, Miss Helen l..
Pease, Miss Gertrude l.. Buell. and Miss

Further examination Of the body Of the
man found in the Blackstone river, re-
veals the fact that he has thick coarse.
black hair, a high forehead. small nose,
large mouth, with thick lips and small
retreating chin. Upon his person were
found ten envelopes addressed TO William
Connery, No. Is Clifton avenue, Lynn,
Masa, and Hugh Youngs. National Sol
dicrs' Home, Tpgus, Me. The theory pub
lislied yesterday that he might be the
man who was seen falling from the rail
road bridge last December, seems very
probable, for il is used a great deal as "A
thoroughfare for tramps. The body must
have fallen in below the Bernon dam. for
scarcely any water has passed over the
dam in several months, the water being
utilized by the electric light company
day and night for power.
The Democratic ward primaries were
held last evening, and five delegates from
each ward elected TO attend the city con
vention next Monday evening to elect

Browne made a speech, saying that Woon-
socket should be represented on the state

vention Mayor Pond then offered this
