"The Fire Patrol"

The opening OF the seaso on at the Gaiety
Opera House last evening was eminentlv
successful. The pretty little theatre, re-
splendent in new paint and gold leaf
trimmings was crowded to the doors. The
production selected for the initial per-
iormance was new one IN this city, en-
titled 1.-The Police PATROL" and Is based
on murder mystery that baffisd the
skill Of the Chicago police many years
ago. 1t teens with thrilling situations
and startling climaxes. The inside work

Of the necessary love element to
keep the interest or the audience to the
right pitch, the play, moves along
smoothly and without a break. The cast
was in capable hands, each member of the
company being perfect in lines and
action. Charles Chsppellie as Capt
Hardy, an officer of police, had natural
adaptability to the rendering Of the
character, and with his impressive bear
ing and calm stage presence left nothing
TO be desired. Miss Estelka Wardell. as
Lillian Barker, u woman OF the world,
imbued the part with one of the most
successful representatives OF the ad-
ventures ever seen by PROVIDENCE
audience. Bonnie Goodwin, we'll
known PROVIDENCE Young woman dis
played considerable talent as clever
soubrette. Her dancing was especially
prais orthy. The other members of the
company were well up in their parts.
The third act representing the interior
of the police patrol barns, gave an oppor-
tunity for the several sketches by the
players. Charles Guyer, clever aero
bat gave some wonderful manifestations
OF skill during this act. Every evening
throughout the week, the "Police Patrol"
will be played. matinees Tuesday, Thurs.

This is statement which comes
somewhat short of the truth, though
nearly true. If person has any ten
dency to drunkenness, he is certainly
choosing the lesser evil in drinking
Pawtuxet water. If, on the other hand,
man has no such tendency, he will
run less chance Of disease by drinking
pure beer than by taking into his sys-
tenn the live germs Of typhoid, or Of
cholera, If it comes to any of the Paw
tuxet valley villages.
The discussion furnishes an outlet,
however. Subject Pawtuxet water to a

"A TrIp to Chinatown."

"a Trip to Chinatown" the musical
farce now running at the PROVIDENCE
Opera House. Is after the manner of all Mr.
Hoyt's "trifles." It's idea central Is a trip
to the Chinese quarter of San Francisco
by party OF gay young people, and their
being followed by the guardian of the
ladies, led into the belief that a gay
widow, one of the party, wishes him to
meet her. The misunderstanding arises
from the fact that the father receives a
note intended for his son. Welland
Strong, who shortens his life every time
he moves, visits the old man and is in
duced to join the party OF young people.
OFF they go. and in following them
on their trip aud the search OF their
guardian for the widow the audi
ence gets plenty OF amusement.
The special scenery used in the three
acts is handsome to marked degree. 1t
Is very seldom that the stage OF the
Opera House is as well dressed as in this
production. The musical portion Is ex-
tensive and excellent. Richard Karl was
repeatedly applauded after singing The
Pretty Widow" The burlesque of Ital-
ian opera, arranged for their voices, and
"On the Bowery," were well sung. Harry
Giltoil whistled and Minnie Renwood
gave graceful exhibition OF the serpen-
tine dance. Bert Haveriy was Welland
Strong and Laura Biggar impersonated
the Chicago Widow in a charming man
ner. Wednesday evening will close the
engagement of "a Trip TO Chinatown"
The engagement of Tuxedo" begins
Thursday and will last until Saturday

ed by those most directly having it's best
interests at heart. All dangerous pub
locations do not betray their character at
a glance. Often they wear the mask of
useful information, and even of piety.
A mere general oversight will not suf-
flee. Do not force your child to spend
time in reading, but look to it that all
his or her reading-tim be properly and
pleasantly filled. While you blindly
congratulate yourself that your boy or
girl, through fOndness for books and
periodicals, must necessarily be learn
ing something, it may be well to know
what that something is. Undue intel
lectual stimulus for children is bad
enough, but emotional stimulus is
worse. In the hands of unprincipled
purveyors, it opens the way to moral
errors of every kind, and by quickening
all else slow growth to what is holy,
develops only precocity in vice. The
point of the wedge is easily inserted,
and, at first, as easily thrust back; but
beware of the silent force that having
once gained an entrance may split the
peace and purity of your home.

Nothing could better illustrate the
great dangers besetting young people
of the present day, in the form of
bad newspapers, illustrated "juvenile"
monthlies and weeklies of vile char
acter, than the assertion made by the
father Of the Dalton boys, who were
killed recently while attempting rob-
berry. "Novel reading caused the curse
to fall Oh the family" said the poor
man. This "literature' is surrepti-

the dullest managers of a patre period

with holy fire. If they only can do
negative good, in crOwding bad reading
to the wall, in taking up the children's
attention SO that foul publications are
unheeded, a great work is accomplished:
their mission is blessed one. and good
citizens everywhere should rally to
their assistance. Let not parents de-
ceive themselves. No home is too
sacred or too carefully guarded for
those tiendish invaders, the vendors of
low and dangerous juvenile publica-
tions, to ply their unholy trade. Ece,y

A man conscious of a higher plane

self looking down on those around him,
easily can come to cOntemn and despise
them, though they are men like himself,
and as men, notwithstanding their per-

his own moral life. No man can de-

Not an uumedicated stimulant, absolutely devoid of any thing but an excitive action, but a tonic combining, in the effective form of an invigoraut and an alterative, the quality of defence against changes of weather. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has three or four properties that no other article of it's class possesses. Not only does it relieve the complaints which it eventually cures, it fortiiies the system against the bad effects of changes of temperature, fatally and too often shown in the deadly form of ala grippe;" it produces radical change in the weakened condition of a system peculiarly liable to be attacked by it, and it tends to provide against the danger resulting from au impover- ished condition of the blood and a dis ordered state of the liver or bowels.

A Pretty Surprise.

A beautifully illustrated and charm ingly bound edition of Longfellow's Evangeline," the most popular long poem ever published by an American author, and one of the most famous poems in the language, just published, is pretty surprise for book lovers. It is in large type, numerous and excel lent illustrations, very fine and heavy paper, gilt edges, remarkably hand some cloth binding, with gilt title and ornaments. No illustrated edition has ever before been published at less cost than $1.50, and that is about what you might guess" the price of this to be, but it isn't--it sells for only l9 cents, plus cents for postage, if by mail. This covers only about the actual cost of manufacture by the 100000, the publishers object being, not profit, but to show the book-loving millions what he can do. His publications are not sold by dealers, but only direct; cata- logue, over 100 pages, literary curi- osity in it's way, is sent for a 2-cent stamp. Every home in the land ought to have a copy of this Evangeline, so charmingly beautiful, as poem, as a collection of artistic illustrations, and as a product of the book-making art. Address John B.
