shout, hats went into the air and Brennan

Theatrical Notes.

An actor in "Shenandoah' that plays
an important part and still speaks not a
line is Dear Old Jack" the black charger,
who carries Sheridan from Winchester,
twenty miles away" This intelligent
animal was with the company here last
season, and the part he played will be
readily remembered. The retreat OF the
Union army is, perhaps. the most remark
able scene ia the play. Men are falling by
the wayslde wounded and exhausted in
the retreat, when suddenly above the
beating drums and shrieking shell is heard
the cry, sheridan is coming! Sheridan IS
comngw The Union soldiers rally and
win victory. The climax is intensely
thrilling Such plays as shenandoah
set us 20 thinking of our country and OF
those who died % preserve its honor. This
interesting drama will be at the Provi-
dence Opera House all next week.
Hands Across the Sea" will be the
Gaiety attraction next week.
AT the Westminster the Lester Speciality
Company will entertain.
"Harbor Lights" will illuminate the
stage at Lothrop's.

MUNICIPAL SOCIALISM.
Dr. Albert Shaw's Last Lecture at~BrOwn
University.

DIR. Shaw's last lecture was given last
night. He took up the theme of "Munic-
ipal Socialism," Modern municipalities
are the result of the centralizing tendency
of the modern thought and action. This
is noticed in the modern tendency TO make
the modern cities large business centres.
In our own country cities try TO insure
their future imp rtance by subsidlZing
eii her water communication or railway
connection. This is noticed especially in
the case of Cincinnati When the trade
on the Ohio river dwindled down the city
took up the construction of the Cincin-
natl and Southern Railroad simply to
maintain her own strength.
Aside from this important function OF
modern municipalities there is another
very important consideration which is fast
becoming one Of the leading problems
which must demand careful attention.
This is the tendency of tenants 10 crowd
too closely together, thus forming too
dense centres of population.
Then, again, the matter OF inspection OF
food is now becoming a question of no
little importance. The matter of meat
and milk inspection IL probably the one
that demands very careful attention. as
these two articles are particularly subject
to taint and can easily be made conduc-
tors of disease.

DE>oLATION AND DESTRUCTION
Wroughs by the isi~e OF the Missouri
aud The MI>-i.sippI.

and the uI>>i>>ippI.
BY Telegraph to the state Chronicle.
ST. Louis, May IS.-The Missouri
river continues 10 rise at the rate of
nearly an inch an hour. The city of
Alton has been entirely cut off from
railroad communication for twenty
tour hours and travel will not be
restored until Fri'iay a: least. West
of ST. Charles, Mo, the scene along
the river is one of desolation and
destruction. Hundreds of farmers
have been driven from their homes.
their crops destroyed, their stock
drowned and in many eases their houses
washed into the river. AT Labadie
the river extends from the Missouri
Pacific track to Augusta on the oppo-
site bluffs, distance of over five miles.
About twenty-six houses in North II.
Louis have iloated from their founda-
tions and their occupants ARE camping
in tents on high grounds. The scenes
north of the river are heart-rending.
To add TO the general wretchedness,
robbers and thieves have begun 70 pill
lage the abandoned houses. Over g.
600 bales of cotton are in cellars on
the levee. RouStabouts are working
in water up 10 their necks and getting
one dollar an hour 10 rescue the cot
ton. The latest prediction is
that the river viii rise six inches
or foot at II. Louis. Ii is possible
that the rise viii 20 beyond that point
Below this city, the rise will be even
/ greater and the levees are expected to
90. The signal service this morning
sent special warning TO 81. Louis.
Ii predicts that the river at 81. Louis
will 90 foot beyond the highest stage
Of water for yesterday, which will put
II al 36 feet, 3 inches, and in the
Southern district below ST. Loms, the
ievees will not hold the water which is
sight and coming down.
East ST. Louis is now threatened
with inundation on the north and east
sides. On the north side of the city
from the river to the bluffs, distance
Of four miles, the territory is covered
with water TO depth Of four feet.
The water is held in check by the en-
ba:kment of the Cairo short line rail
road. \ break occurred in the dyke
of the Clover Leaf road this morning
and for over three hours il was feared
the waters would sweep away the
tracks and allow the flood TO over
whelm the little village OF Brooklyn.
\ large gang of railway e-aplJyee
were quickly at the scene and depos-
tied thousands Of sacks Of sand in the
erevasse, filing il completely and
averting the threatened danger.
