The House of Hanover.

Upon tho death of Queen Victoria the
house of Hanover will cease to rule in Eng
land, and, failing surviving issue to the
Duke of York, the London Times assumes
that the heirship to the throne will lie
with the daughter of the Duchess Of Fife.
THE crown came with woman" said
the Stuart king Of Scotland when he
heard of the birth of daughter the sub
sequently unfortunate Mary Stuart, land
it will go with woman"
The Tudor dynasty, at any rate, passed
with a woman-Queen lizabeth-while
that of the Stuarts in England came in
through the girl child to whom the dy-
ing Scots king made melancholy allusion.
The Electress Sophia, granddaughter Of
James 1, was the female link between the
line of Guelph and the preceding dynasty,
while her majesty connects SAKE Coburg-
Gotha with the great family which made
popular in England the badge of the White
Horse. -Philadelph Press.

EROS AND THE BEE.

The love god on q day
Wandered the hives among
To steal comb away,
And by bee was stung.
And all his finger tips
Tingled, and with his lips
Blowing his hand he skips
And stamps uson the lea.
To Cypris then he HES,
And shows the cruel sting,
And bitterly he cries,
"How can so small thing
Raise such a mighty ache?"
His mother, laughing, spake,
"Thyself, though small, canst make
Like mischief as the bee."

Westminster Theater.

Whalen and Martell's picturesque spec
tacle entitled "South Before the War"
will be seen in the Westminster Theater
every afternoon and evening next week.
This play has been seen at this theater
before, and the good reputation 1t estab-
lished will go long way to induce
amusement seekers to visit this centrally
located amusement resort. "South Before
the War" is calculated to give fair rep
resentation Of life in the sunny South be-
fore the guns OF rebellion doomed over
the waters OF Charleston bay. Plantation
scenes are reproduced and happy dark

the trials and tribulations OF
plantation life. Charles Howard

WiIde's New Play at the
Providence Opera House,
"THE PAyMAsTER" AT kEITH's,
g Money Mad" at Lothrop's Opera
House and "Soutb Before the War"
at Westminster Theater-Announce-
ments.

An appreciative audience witnessed
Thomas w. Keenes portrayal OF Richard
Ill at the Providence Opera House last
evening, when that well known tragedian
brought out in all their lurid lights the
iniquitous traits of that mixture of cruelty,
cunning and deceit which the stage OF the
10Th century has handed down to US as
the "bloody Duke of Gloucester"
Keene's Richard loses nothing in the
way of detail Of depravity which Shakes
peare has invested him with. Disdaining
the modern custom to shade the villianies
of the more atrocious characters OF his
tory in tragedy Mr.. Keene follows the
old line of impersonation and pre-
sents a Richard differing in nothing
from the Richard Of the days of Davenant
and of Cibber. The 0f-with his
head" and "Give me another horse"
scenes excited the usual thrills and
aroused the customary enthusiasm in the
upper part OF the theater. "Richard the
Third" will be repeated this evening. This
afternoon Mr.. Keene gave good repre-
sontation of Bulwer's "Richelieu."
"Lady Windermere's Fan"
Oscar wildes much praised social
comedy, treating OF certain phase OF
London life at the present time, called
"Lady Windermere's Fam" will be pre-
sented by powerful company under the
direction of Charles Frohman, at the
Providence Opera House Monday evening
und during the remainder OF
the week. Mr.. Wilde in Lady
Windermere's Fan" has shown
that he knows how to write play that
pleases the fancy OF the general public.
His play has no very serious purpose.
Once in while Mr.. Wilde forgets art for
arts sake and poses as q sad visaged moral
ist. His play reflects life probably as he
has seen 1t late at night, when the afr was
heavy with the odor of freshly lighted
cigarettes and the soda water sizzled in
the brandy tumblers. 1t is full OF the
philosophy OF the vapid cynic "Who
knows the price OF everything and the
value of nothing" The play ran for a
whole season in London. 1t was acted,
and acted with great success, In New York
and Boston. The charm of the play lies in
the supple and pervasive atmosphere OF
polite fast life in the greatest city in the
world in this fag end OF the
18th century, which the author has deftly
simulated and incorporated with his text.
Lady Windermere is an impetuous young
wife. When she learns that her husband
has formed some kind OF secret relations
with Mrs. Erlyne, at whom the women
Il polite society sniff and to whom the
men pay court on the sly, she is naturally
jealous. She leaves her husbands home.
The best scene is that at Lord Darlington's.
The two women are hiding in room
when Darlington and mis- gay friends, at
2 o'clock in the morning. come in, sit
down, pour out brandy and soda and
talk, the talk that such men are supposed
to talk at that hour. They say many bright
things. Such a situation naturally ex-
cites much interest and like many other
scenes in the play it is unique IL rather

as the proper amounts TO be expended
during the next year. Representative
Black made a good impression on the COM

fact that the river and harbor bill is to be

he will get the,total amount asked for.

the latter valued at 500, 600, are
not worth $4,000. The horses
have been attached by the
contractor who constructed the track. for
debt. All the horsemen who have ar
rived from Mexico are exceedingly sore
toward Pate, and claim that the races
would have been a great success had they
been managed properly.
