The voting upto IL O'Clock today In the
Third Ward, was very small compared
with former years. AT that hour only Al
votes had been cast In the
Third District OF the Third Ward.
and in the First District at IL o'clock
there were only 125. Last spring at the
same hour there were over four hundred
votes cast. There seems to be but little
interest shown by either party in the
congressional election. The Democrats
especially are making but little effort to
elect their candidate.
The storm last night did considers BILE
damage in the North End. On Palmer
street large tree was blown down nearly
opposite Hon. Il. ID. McGuinness'

oak tree was blown down In front of

Douglas avenue and Neil street.

William Gillette, the author of "Held
by the Enemy" and better known by
his unique impersonation OF the "Private
Secretary" launched q new production in
brooklyn, n. Y, last week and last even
ing the capable comedian and strong
company offered the new work for con-
sideiation in the Providence Opera House.
III Is farcical comedy in three acts en-
titled "Too Much Johnson" and 1t begins
rather fatty and ends somewhat in fog.
IL depends upon the usual mis-
taken identity complications, with
champion liar for q central figure, a
meddiing mother in-law, a milk and
water wife, iove-sick couple, a jealous
Frenchman and burly bully. The cham
pion liar gets them all al cross purposes
and amusing IL rat her ridiculous situations
and mirth- provoking incidents follow
fast enough TO keep the interest sus-
tanned until the author gets his characters
called upon TO settle the matter. The
audience know the farce is finished, be-
cause the maroon curtain drops in place
OF the painted terrace with the tall women
in the foreground and Rome in the dis
tance. In this respect "Two Much
Johnson" may be considered success in
catering TO the Imagination. The story
OF the farce was printed in Saturdays
NEWS, therefore it will not be necessary to
refer TO it now.
The work has novelty, and 1t is rather
away from commonplace, but il will
probably never reach the popularity
OF other efforts by the same author The
mind rebels at SO much impossibility SER
we'd with q sort OF seriousness. Its ex-
travagant purpose is too apparent and the
scheme lacks delicacy of treatment. There
Is nothing subtle about il and it is simply
broad farce. Its bright dialogue and
clever situations, however, command
laughter and interferes agreeably with
that tired feeling.
Mr.. Gillette played the part Of Billings
in way that was irresistibly funny.
Ralph Delmore, Samuel Reed and Charles
j. Bell assisted the star materially in
making the scenes go with great spirit.
Kate Meek made a capital dyed-in- the
wool mother in law and the others in the
cast were thoroughly competent. "Too
Much Johnson" will remain all the week.

LATEST
AT THE POLLS.
City Returns Show Big
Decrease.
The Election Very Materially
Affected by the Storm.

The effects OF the Northeast storm on
today's Congressional election was mani
fest in the smallest mid day vote that has
been cast in this city for years.
The hope OF a big Republican plurality
that had been entertained up to last mig hit
by the friends OF Hon. Melville Bull,
vanished this forenoon when 1t was found
that the voters were not coming out
either for Bull or Lapham. At
~ O'Clock the city's vote was
less than so per cent OF
April for the same hour and the number at
the polls did not increase any during the
sixty minutes in which the laboring men
usually deposit their ballots.
The party Leaders are now depending on
what may be dcne during the rest OF the
afternoon and aiter six o'clock, ana il Is
hoped, now that the storm has abated.
that the decrease In the totals may be in q
measure made up. II not, the counting of
ballots In the city this evening will be a
comparatively brief task.
The City Vote.
The vote In the Democratic Third and
Tenth wards is way behind and the Re-
publicans stayed away during the fore
noon.
The o'clock results in the Fox Point
district show a decrease OF 100 from the
vote at the same hour at the
April election, and at the Second
District polling place on Market
Square there is falling of OF over one
hundred.
In the Second district OF the Second
Ward at O'Clock the vote was 412, larger
than that of any other district, and that
was ITO behind last April's record.
Out In the Seventh Ward, the Republi-
can stronghold, there is a falling of OF
nearly 400 for both districts, while in
the Second District OF the Sixth Ward
where, at o'clock on last
election day 500 votes had been cast,
there were today but 149, and the same
thing il true of the two districts of the
Fifth.
In both districts Of Ward 4 the o'clock
vote today was the same, 220. That is
30 per cent. of the vote for the same hour
last spring and the decrease in this ward
II less than anywhere else.
In the Eighth and Ninth Wards
Q very light vote Is being polfed.
At 1 O'Clock two years ago in the
Second District of the Eighth Ward TO
votes were cast against $50 today. In the
Ninth, both districts, 1ls0 against 6S3
today.
The result of the voting in this city at
one o'clock by districts is as follows:

Death of Mrs. Maggie McDade.

Mrs. Maggie McDade, nee Lind
say, wife of Mr.. James 6. McDade,
died at her residence, in this parish,
on last Monday morning, aged about
% years.
While life's roses we're still bloom
ing and ere the sun had slipped the
morning dew-out from the warm
sunshine of loved and loving ones,
down into that cold, dark valley of
the shadow of death, went Maggie
McDade. just when life seemed so
full Of hope and happiness, it was
hard to die. 1t seemed so meet that
she should live, SO pure and beauti.
ful was her life, and so consecrated
to her devoied husband and child.
Because of her tenderness, her gem
tie ways, her goodness of heart, her
memory will always remain sweet
and pure to solace the husband and
relatives now inconsolable in the
loss they have sustained. Devotion
to duty and principle animated her.
She lived for her husband and child
and found her greatest happinessin
lowing and serving them-a loyalty
which was indeed beautiful.
Ofthe beauty of her life and char
ter, those in her home, her friends
and her neighbors knew best. She
died as she had lived, in the full
triumph of a Christians faith, and
leaves to those who loved her the
sweet assurance that she will meet a
rich reward in heaven.
May the fairest flowers of our
Southern cline ever burst in bright
est bloom upon her grave, and song
birds discant their sweetest music
where she slumbers.
"One by one earth's ties are broken,
As we see our love decay,
| And the hopes so fondly cherished
| Brighten but to pass away.
One by one our hopes grow brighter
| As we near the SHINING shurf,
| For we know across the river,
Wait the loved ones gone before
