prints, ia just what is hurting the modern
stage. There is not enough fault-finding." !"

"The Devils Mine" will be played at
Lothrop's Opera House next week. The
author OF the piece, Fred Darcy, will appear
as the star and play the leading role,
Jack Hawley, of Denver. This drama is
one of the genuinely sensational type,
with scenes laid in the far West. The
scenes are said to be graphic and often
thrilling, the dialogue natural and un-
affected, the characters are reproductions
OF those encountered i'm real life and not
caricatures. Miss Trixie Hamilton as
Jenny Williams, the miners daughter, is
excellently cast as the character is par
ticularly well adapted TO her. This girl
OF the Sicrras is said to be picturesquely
presented by Miss Hamilton and also well
acted. Mr.. Darcy makes his original role
of Jack Hawley a peculiarly interesting
one as he completely identifies
himself with the part. J. Francis Kirke
will impersonate the villain, Jim Rawlins,
John Wilkes will play Joe Williams, the
mine owner, and l.. r.. Burton, Albert
III. Field, Wallace Jackson, William Far
mum, John Phillip and Miss Viola Ban
croft. will be seen in the other parts.
'The Devils Mine" is not a pistol shoot
ing play TO frighten women and children,
and it will be seen all the week.

Adelina Patti will sing In Infantry Hall,
Thursday evening, march,. The artists
supporting Madam Patti are as follows:
Mile. q. Fabbri, contralto; Mile. l.. Engei,
mezzo-spprano; Mr.. Durward .Lely, tenor;
Signor A. Galassi, baritone; Signor II.
Noyarra, basso; Signor Mascheroni, ac-
companist; grand orchestra with Signor
Arditi, conductor.
The program introduces Madam Patti
in the favoritu aria "una voca" from the
"Barber OF Seville" The cadenza was
written FOR Madame Patti by Rossini him
self, and 1t stands today as one OF the
most perfect feats OF vocalization ever
heard. IL Is arch and piquant,
and only Madame Patti can bring out
the comedy points OF the whole air.
IL is, OF course, fraught with extraordi-
nary difficulties, and no vocalist, except
OF the first rank, ever attempts the charm
ing aria. For an encore she sings Tosti's
new song, written for her, called LA
Serenata." II is Spanish in character, and
as bit of legato vocalization gives
Madame Patti chance To show what vocal
art can do. OF course she will sing '"The
Last Rose OF Summer" and "Home, Sweet
Home"

Keith's Opera House are she "W hite Slave"
the diamond Breaker" !" the "Stowaway,"
'Silver King" and Still Alarm" All
these plays, by their excellence OF produc-
tion and good casts, have survived the
hard times and not ''closcd for repairs"
Quite a large delegation OF Providence
people will attend the opening OF Mr..
Keith's new Boston theater as guests Of
the management.
All Providence theater goers will re-
member the farce-comedy OF "Thc Daz-
zler," from its three trips i'm former years.
Annie Lew is, the sparkling soubrette, and
Joe OFT, the funny man, are in the COM
pany, which will be at Keith's, week Of
March D.
Miss Grace FERNANDEZ, who is making a
fine impression with her vocalsms at
Boston, is resident OF this city and the
granddaughter OF former Rhode Island
Governor.
The depression in theatrical business is
not confined TO England and this coun-
try. Paris is having an unprecedentedly
bad season. With one exception all
the theatcrs there have lost money.
The wave of ill-fortune mas swept round
the globe. In India and Australia the cry
of hard times Is bitter. In truth, from all
account we are better off than any of the
foreigners.
1t is said that the property on the
northeast corner OF Broadway and Nine
teenth street, New York, has been sold
to Theron Berdell for about four hundred
thousand dollars, and that the purchaser
purposes TO build theater on the site.

latest success, begins week eng agement
at the Providence Opera House Monday
evening. II is triumph Of realism. The
scene in the first act show my
the repair shop of the Empire Mach
ing Works AT Savannah, Ga, with its
forge in full operation, emory wheel and
other shop equipments, is fine piece of
stage realism. II is in this scene that the
trial test of the triple electric
wire braider, which has been the pet
scheme OF the inventor, Henry Milburn,
and on which he expects to secure letters
patent, is made. 1t is on this machine
and the patent thereof that
the story OF the play hinges.
The first scene OF the second act, the Cliff
Villa, with the Savannah River in the dis
tance, is marvel OF scenic art. The Sec
ond scene OF the act represents the whiri-

pool into which the hero OF the play has
been thrown by the designing villain, and
from which he is resued by the heroine
on faithful and trained thoroughbred.
The horse is introduced in this act in va
rious ways with great success.
The climax OF stage realism Is reached in
the third act, which represents the steam
ship Savannah, en- route to Washington,
in storm at sea. The scene shows the
decl. of the steamer and the landing
and departure from the Savannah pier.
Presently the storm breaks upon the ship
in sll its fury. The wind whistles and
shrieks, the sails are rent, and the vessel
turns almost on its side. The ship goes
scurrying before the gale at the mercy of
the lashing waters, and altogether the
scene is remarkably impressive. 1t will
have to be seen to be appreciated.

"Siberia," BARLEY Campbell's most pop
ular drama, which has out-lasted all other
plays of its class will be presented by
MacDonough a. Kennedy's company
at Keiths Opera House during
next week. This is the twelfth
consecutive year of this thrilling drama,
and the fact that it has so long retained
its hold upon the public favor shows that
it must by its merit appeal to the sym
pathy of the playgoing public. The
scenes and characters are all laid in Rus
sia and the stage mountings are adapted
especially for the play.

Your Local Paper

You may be able to get large pa
per filled with murders, scandal cas-
es, chicken fights, etc., for less than
you pay for your local paper, but
these city weeklies never advertise
your county and make poor property
valuable. They do not help along
your schools and churches, they do
not publish your county news, they
say nothing of you or your town and
have no interest in you. A good
newspaper is as much advantage to a
town or county as are good schools.
If one of our farmer friends should
happen into one Of these city Offices
he would find out in two minutes
that he had no welcome there, such
as he would receive in a printing Of
flee at home. Stand by your home
paper; it stands by you, and is ever on
the lookout for your interest.-Dixon

Full Of Rye.

Sing a song of penitence,
A fellow full of rye!
-Four and twenty serpents
Danced before his eye.
When his eye was opened
He shouted for his life.
Wasn't he a pretty chump
10 go before his wife!
His hat was in the parlor
Underneath a chair,
His boots were in the hallway
His coat was on the stair.
His trousers in the kitchen,
His collar of the shelf,
But he hadn't any notion
Where he was at himself
When the morn was breaking
Someone heard him call.
His head was in the ice-box.
And that was best of all.

THE BATTLE BORN" STATE.

It will be thirty years on the 3lst
of October next, Nevada was admitted
INTO the union. The admission was
done in hurry, the enabling act be-
ing telegraphed from Washington to
Carson. The haste was occasioned
by the desire to have the Nevadans
legally participate in the Presidential
election viii oh ensued the following
week, and in which it was deemed
necessary to have Nevada's three
electoral votes.
Eastern papers indulge in slurs and
sneers concerning Nevada's dwindl-
ing population, forgetful Of the days
when it was the backbone of the
Of the North's finances, tur ming in
hundreds Of millions Of gold and sill
yer. San Francisco, too, owes at least
grateful remembrance to the state
that enriched so many of her citizens.
But though the glory Of Nevada be-
longs mostly to the past, she has
wealth apart from that concealed in
her crags. Her area Of over Ill, 1000
square miles comprises great tracts
that only need irrigation to produce
fruitful crops, and while the output
may aggregate less in value than the
mining yield for many years, yet there
= is a permanence Ito the pursuit that
will turn the tide of wealth to-
ward the state instead of away from
it.
1t is a noticeable fact that the
finances of Nevada are in better shape
to-day than those of any state in the
union. In many of the counties there
is more money than is needed in the
county treasury, and the merchantile
failures make the smallest item in the
Dun or Bradstreet list.-Mining and

An exchange enumereates the
following nine classes OF persons
who can certainly depress business
in any community: They are those
who go out Of town TO make pnr-
chascs; who oppose improvements;
who prefer a quiet town to one OF
push and business; who imagine they
own the town and are bound to run
it; who think business can be done
without advertising who have no
public spirit themselves and dread
those who have; who arc chronic
kickers against every movement
they do not originate; who oppose
public enterprises whicl, slo not di-
rectly benefit them; and who seek
to run down and iniure their fellow
townsmen.
