Enects Of bicycling.

Observations on the physiological eff
fects of cycling, recently published by
DR.. Blaznevich Of st. Petersburg,
show that the play of the chest immc.
diately after riding diminishes from I
to 1.5 centimeters, especially in the
cases of women and children and Of
men racing, or beginning to use the
cycle. The general effect of a summers
riding on men was practically nil; in
women and children the vital capacity
was slightly increased. The arm pow
err was found to have increased more
than the leg power in young persons
and in beginners, but In the case of ma
ture men used to cycling this was not
so evident

story OF the Attack on Nicholas IL

Story or the Attack on Nicholas Ill.
l.. A. Ribas, the interpreter who is
employed by the Burlington people, and
who recently returned from trip to
Japan, where he accompanied the Core
an minister, tells story about the at
tempt made upon the life of the present
Gar Of Russia In Japan a couple Of
years ago which materially differs from
the reports hitherto published in this
country. The attempt, it will be re-
membered, was made while the then
Czarowitz was riding In a jinricksha,
and the report then published stated
that his life had been saved only
through the prompt action of his cousin,
Prince George. Mr.. Ribas met one of
the carriers of the cart In which the
Czarowitz was seated, and who was in
reality the man who saved the life OF
his royal patron. For this action the
carrier was presented with 10000 ru-
bles by the Russian government, and
the Japanese government also hand
somely remembered the brave act by
giving the man a fine house In Toxic.
The credit of the action was given to
Prince George, 1t Is supposed for POI
litical effect-San Francisco Call.

a Goose's Limited Mathematical
Abilities.

Seashore gunners hold that the
wild goose can count two, but not
three. Accordingly, it is customary
in preparing to shoot wild geese from
q blind or some detached ribbon OF
marsh for three men to row over ia
the station together and for two OF
them to return to the mainland. The
geese, being unable to count above
two, believe when they see the two
men returning that no enemy has
been left upon the marsh, and ap-
proach the spot without fear. 1t is
asserted that il only two men got out
and only one returned the geese will
carefully avoid the region Of the
blind.-[Chicago Herald.

Dangerous Use of Strong Purgatives.
Most pills, purgat.ves and Bitter
Waters, which act quickly upon the
bowels, irritato and often destroy the
mucous coats Of the stomach and bowels.
Indeed their cathartic action is directly
caused by the irration OF the bowels,
which they produce. Their action should
be soothing and stimulating instead OF
irritating. A continued use OF such rem
cdies produces chronic infiamma-
tion OF the stomach and bowels.
This often ends in dangerous disease.
The uso OF the genuine imported

mended as an aperient, laxative and diu-

Young Women's Christian
Association Trouble.

The regular meeting OF the board of
managers of the Providence Evangelice,
Young Women's Christian Association
was held at the Association
Hall last evening. A large
number of the members were present and
Mrs. v. .Osterhout presided. After the usual
rou1one business had been transacted a
motion was made to proceed to the apr
pointment OF q general secretary. Mrs.
Osterhout ruled that the motion was out
of order as the board had no authority to
take any such action and the matter was
dropped after short, IL somewhat
heated, discussion.
The question Of the legality OF the spe-
cial meeting was then raised and as both
factions were represented in the board the
discussion was very interesting. The
opinions OF Lawyer Hallett,
Mr.. Jacobs and Others were
placed against : those of Lawyer
Barney, and as it was proved that no
progress was being made the men,
bers at last consented to allow the
matter to rest for the present.
In the meantime further legal advice will
be obtained by the two factions and the
result will be presented at another meet
ing of the board.
After the meeting was adjourned the
ladies gathered in the hall and discussed
the situation in an informal
manner. From the remarks that were
made it was apparent that both parties
were In favor OF an amicable settlement
and il is doubtful III there will be any
further trouble, concessions being made
by the factional leaders that will tend to
unite the association.

Keith's Opera House.

William Haworth's serio-comedy, "a
Nutmeg Match" was presented at Keith's
Opera House last evening to good-sized
audience. The bright, particular star of
the company is Miss Annie Buckley, who,
as Cinders, an adopted waif, makes
most of the fun. The Nutmeg Match"
delvcs not too deeply into the realm of
pathos, but the plot is easily discernible
at the start, and consistently carried
out. The scene is laid in the State Of
Connecticut at the farm and homestead
OF Uncle Bob Lucas, the adopted relative
of Cinders. The "Nutmeg Match is
a love affair between William Hartley of
the "city "and Cinders of the farm, and
most OF the play is taken up In descriptive
presentations of the scenes and incidents
involved in this affair of the heart. The
villain, Jim Saunders, is introduced as the
deceiver OF Hartley's sister Dora, and
what time Hartley does not devote
TO Cinders he gives TO systematic at
tempt to get even with Saunders. The
pile-driving scene is realistic. There Is an
encounter between Hartley and Saunders.
The latter gains the supremacy, knocks
his adversary insensible and
places his head beneath the suspended
hammer of the pile driver. Before it falls
there is a dramatic appearance of Cinders
and others and the victim is rescued from
the Jaws of death. The play is to run
during the week.

THE THEATER's ROUND.
Plays in the pIayhouses the Current
Week.
HThe Social SWIM" "The Nutmeg
Match" "Kathleen Mavourneen {"
and the Cyr Brothers.

Marie Wainwright Is capable actress.
This fact will not be disputed by any one
in the large audience at the Providence
Opera House last evening. But she has
poor play in "The Social SWIM" 1t Is
very talky and poverty stricken In action.
Its one intensely dramatic scene degener-
ates into twaddie and the scheme Of the
play is altogether commonplace.
A scoundrel takes an overdose of opium
in the heroine's chamber aud falls appar-
emily dead at her feet. The horror OF the
situation Is simulated with powerful
naturalness and the intensity OF it Is re-
doubled as the horror r-stricken woman
covers the dead man with her mantle
while her husband knocks for admission
at her chamber door. subsequently she
fees to her uncles home with terror
apparent in every fibre. Her she meets
her usband and tells him the horror
through which she has passed, expecting
fearful consequences for her rash
ness and seeming faithlessness. The
husband tells her the man il alive
and in the hands of doctors and
takes her to his bosom with
an ''all is forgiven" speech and attitude.
The strong dramatic scene leaves the
audience with the unromantic imagina-
tion of a contemplate scoundrel being
restored to life with the aid OF stomach
pump. Miss Wainwright made
the most of her opportunities,
but "The Social Swim" does not compel
her to work hard enough. Several times
there were flashes that demonstrated that
she was capable almost of great things il
the opportunity presented itself. For the
most part the play rather
inclined the audience to yawn but now
and then interest was awakened by a
strong bit of acting, 80 that on the whole
the performance was worth seeing. Miss
Wainwright looked charming and she dis
played several handsome costumes.
Sac had fairly good support, notably by
Parton Hill, who gave very natural and
artistic impersonation OF old Uncle Bur-
ton. Miss Georgia Busby had bright lines
as Mrs. Royce Jones and she spoke them
brightly besides looking the part very
completely. "The Social Swim" was ex-
cellently put upon the stage. II will be
presented again this evening. Wednesday
afternoon Miss Wainwright will be seen
in "Frou- Frou," and Wednesday evening
in "Man andyWife."

Katherine Rober and Lothrop's stock
company gave good performances of the
romantic Irish play entitled kathleen
Mavourneen" in Lothrop's Opera House
yesterday. Miss Rober is especially fitted
to the character of Kathleen, as its various
phases bring into play all her talent. She
has an opportunity to be vivacious and
light hearted in the opening scene
where she falls asleep after the jolly
frolic and then in dream lives another
life of misery and despair. In this dream
villain husband tries to cast her off and
finally fails in an attempt to murder her.
Then comes the awakening and the joyful
realization that the dreadfuI things only
happened i'm a dream. Then Kathleen
is reconciled to her lowly state
and her lover, Terence O'Moore.
The play has pleasant opening
and closing, making the performance
agreeable to the audience. Miss Rober
looked Kathleen almost TO perfection, and
she exhibited several handsome costumes.
Miss May Prindle also looked charming as
Kitty, and Miss Helen Marr was pict-
uresque as Lady Dorothy. Cameron
Clemens made sturdy Terence and
Leonard Rowe played villainous Berrssd
Kavanaugh capably. James e. McElroy
was amusing as Billy Buttercup, and
Justin Paige was excellent as Father
O'Cassidy. "Kathleen Mavourneen" will
be the attraction every afternoon and
evening this week.
