The Hanlon Brothers spectacular trick
pantomine entitled "Fantasma" made its
annual visit TO the Providence Opera
House last evening and n large audience
enjoyed it from beginning TO end.
Radical changes have been wrought in
ii since year ago, some OF the innovations
at the expense of the fairies and demons
being especially agreeable to those who
make it point to see this funny tickier
every year.
1t is quite evident that the Hanlons and
their lieutenants have been busy devising
new mechanical tricks, because old scenes
have been made almost new by new feat
ures and elaborated old ones. "Fantas-
ma" is essentially for the sense of sig hit and
it keeps the optics busy constantly.
Pico is just as amusing as ever and little
more skillful. Nat ID. Jones, who used to
play for our grandfathers, plays the
"Demon OF Darkness" In the old time way,
and that way hasn't been improved much
of late. Fantssma was fair to
look upon, and the part was
sustained without affectation. Lena
wore gorgeous gowns over q shapely
figure and the other young women helped
TO show the costumer's art, too.
The scenery was brilliant and fresh,
and the mechanical tricks worked
smoothly. Specialties were introduced by
Miss Irving, who sang nicely; Leon Il.
Nief, baritone; Miss Blanche Sherwood,
who danced skillfully, and the McDon-
ough Brothers, who gave a remarkable
contortion exhibition.
"Fantasma" will be seen all the week
with regular matinees and a special
matinee Thanksgiving Day.

Mrs. Thomas and her niece, and not
Miss Pollard. One day, he said, Miss
Pollard was talking to Mrs. Thomas
and himself in Mrs. Thomas's drawing
room, and suddenly Miss Pollard began
to cry and said that she had heard that
Col. Breckenridge was paying attention
to Mrs. Wing. She asked witness if
he heard of Col. Breckinridge's atten
ton to other women. The witness re-
piled that he had not. Miss Pollard
said she had a pistol which she kept
beside her bed and would use it on her
self if Col. Breckenridge did not marry
her. II told her." said the witness,
"that while Col. Breckenridge was a
very distinguished man, very fne-look-
ing and all that, there were other men
in the world"
This produced a roar from the spec
tators.
"And what did Miss Pollard say ?"
was asked the witness.
"She replied Che said) hat no man
could be so good and kind TO her as
Col. Breckenridge had BEEN" ~ feel"
she said, "that 1 can never love anoth-
er man as | love him."
At this point a recess was taken for
an hour.
DR.. Tabor Johnson took the stand at
the afternoon session and said he knew
Miss Pollard through attending her
professionally on May "a, 1898. On
hat date Miss Pollard sent for
him and he went to set her
at 1919 H street. She had symp-
toms that showed him that a
miscarriage was in progress. He at
tended her through the miscarriage
and for a week afterwards. DR.. John
son said he had looked over some let
tiers and kilograms at the request of
Miss Pollard. The witness identified
the signatures and handwriting of the
letters as hat of Col. Breckenridge.
Mr.. Carlisle read the letters. He
told Miss Pollard to get a room and
send him particulars about the price,
etc. One of the letters was signed
Sincerely and truly, w. c. P. Breck-
inridge."

ONE OF the most remarkable things
Of this strange eventful age is the fact
that in all the recent affairs this u
try has had with foreign nations those
most conspicuous and pronounced in
their so-called defense ofthe flag" are
residents of the South. If they only
knew the estimation in which their SUI
observation-disclosures areheldi in theNorth
they would be disposed to "hold their
horses" 1t will be time enough for the
South to be rushing forward, to defend
the flag" when called upon TO do so by
those at the head Of the national gov
eminent, who are now, and for an indef-
mite time will be from the North. I'm
asked for assistance is as thankless q
job as unsolicited advice and besides
it is always suggestive ofinterested mo-
tiNeS.

ring to the amicable relations with

The recent improvement in the state of
Ireland, continues the Queen, has
been markedagrarian crime having been
reduced to the lowest point reached in
the last fifteen years. The condition.
however, of q considerable body Of
evicted tenants requires early attention.

lisments in Wales and Scotland will

Ir HAS recently been demon
strated by the most i%ncontestable evil
dence that had the populist candidates
for Presidential electors in Alabama
been chosen in 1892, and their vote
would have elected Mr.. Harrison, it
would have been so cast, in accordance
with q previously made pecuniary ar
rAngement. This fact alone should be
sumcientofitselfto letter every southern
man, really Interested in the welfare Of
hi section, from voting the populist
ticket at any subsequent election. The
democratic,ia the only party upon which
the South can rely, with any confidence,
for assistance and support, and South
ern democrats have good ground for
believing that those who are not for, are
against them.

INSURANCE DEcIsIoS.-Quite an interest
ing question, bearing upon the law of insur-
ance, was decided at the March term of the
Frederick County Circuit Court, which adj
lourned at Winchester on Saturday, Judge
Turner presiding. The Alden Vinegar Com
pany, of st. Louis, Mo-, sued the Common
wealth Fire Insurance Company of Win

insurance had not been paid to them. To
this plea the plaintiff demurred, claiming that
prepayment of the premium had been waived
by the delivery of the policy, but the court
overruled tho demurrer, holding that the
clause in the policy of forfeiture for the non
payment of the premium was valid.

To Go ON THE STAGE.-Miss Pollard
is now in preliminary training for her
debut as an actress. 1t is generally be-

Washington that she will get substan-
tial damages; but should she not get a
cent, she will not want for the neces-
saries of life for the next few years,
anyhow, for she has received some
~hattering offers from several theatrical
managers, who see in the notoriety she
is achieving a chance for securing large
financial returns, in case Miss Pollard
can be induced to take the stage. That
she will accept the most promising the
atrical offer is now certain. Miss Pol
