Providence Opera House.

The day of Wild West drama is done in
this city at principal theaters, and that
fact was demonstrated in the Providence
Opera House last evening when Louis
Aldrich presented his much thum bed play,
"My Partner" for consideration. The
play Is relic OF the past and perhaps il
was mistake TO allow its appearance i'm
this theater with such a commonplace
company in the cast. Mr.. Aldrich makes
q strong, interesting figure as Joe Saun-
ders, and he gives the character an atmos-
phere of sincerity and sturdy, whole
souled manhood. But that isn't
sufficient I'm these modern days OF stage
craft. IL takes more than one actor to
make profitable play that has been seen
frequently in popular priced theaters i'm
this city. AS a whole the performance
was not up to the times. "My Partner"
will be here the remainder OF the week.

BLACK HOSE AND CORNS.
An Old Shoe Clerk Says Giving Up One Will
Help the Other.

"What want" said as L sat down in
shoe store the other day and held out my
foot TO the clerk, ''is IA shoe that won :
pinch my corn"
Yes, that's just what everybody says, I"
replied the clerk, land / tell everybody,
just as | tell you, that we have just the
kind OF shoe To make one forget his corns.
But can give you pointer that has al
most as much TO do with corns as shoes
have" he went on as he pulled off my
right shoe, "and that is TO take off those
black socks and never wear another pair
of that color, especially In warm weather. ="
What in the world have black stock

"A lot, was the shoe clerk $ emphatic

really cause corns, but I do know that
they are great corn aggravators I've been

their testimony and my own experience
prove that black hose and corns are very
closely related.
i've never settled 20 my satisfaction

THE AGILE TIGER.
He Is 'sAod with silence" and Is as Quick
as Lightning.

He Is "Slod with silence" and Is as Ouick
As Lightning.
Most Wild animals are specialists--that
is to say, they arc highly developed in one
particular direction. The tiger Is great
as stalker. His feet seem TO be ''shod
with silence" Mr.. X. III. Elliot, for many
years a resident Of India, cites an expert
encs of one Of his neighbors illustrative of
this point.
He had been much annoyed by tigers
and at last tied a bullock out in clear
ing and took up his own position in n
tree to wait till the tiger should come after
the bait. The ground was cov~ed with
dried leaves, which in hot weather are so
brittle that even the walking of birS over
them can be heard for a good distance.
In no very long time large tiger slip
ped out of the forest and slowly edged to-
ward the bullock. His method was SO
elaborate and careful that the man who
saw Ii used to declare that IL would have
been worth 1000 rupees TO any young
sportsman to have witnessed IL.
80 carefully did he put down each paw
and so gradually did he crush the leaves
under 1t that not "a sound was To be heard.
Between him and the bullock was IA stump
about four feet high, with long project
ing surface roots. This, plainly, the tiger
looked upon as "A godsend.
: He got upon one Of the roots, balanced
himself carefully and so was able To walk
quickly and silently as far as the stump.
He approached so gradually and noiseless-
ly and his color against the brown leaves
was so invisible that he was close upon
the bullock before he was perceived.
Then instantly the bullock charged
The tiger eluded him and in moment
more had his paws on the bullock s neck
ready to drag him down. Then, like n
flash, he caught sight of the rope by which
the bullock wasted and turned and sprang
into the forest, all so quickly that the man
In the tree had no opportunity to fire.

Whipple Potter jerks, A. NJ, professor of
Agricultural Zoology and Curator OF the
museums, who died very suddenly yester-
day at about $3.50 p. M, of heart disease.
He was found just ouside the museum.
Professor jerks was quite well and strong
apparently, although he had been ailing
for several days.
He was one OF the oldest professors on
the faculty, having served his alma mater
for 20 years. He graduated from Brown
in 1888 and for long series of years was
the much loved principal Of the Pierce
Academy, Andover, Mass.
In 1874 he took his place as member
OF the faculty and has always been q

versity.
The deceased was 81 years of age and in

was a man "full Of years and good

The second mass meeting held this
morning in the interests OF football was
somewhat different in its results from the
first. The meeting was called imme-
diately after chapel exercises before any
one had left the hall. President Aldrich
addressed the meeting and in a few
words spoke of the energetic
work Of the present management and the
hard work of the team. Remarks from
the manager, MIR. Haye, showed that
$500 was needed on the spot to begin the
work. Remarks were also made by Capt.
Hopkins, Treasurer Atha, Prof. Munroe
and a number of others. 1t is believed
that IL the team can once
be placed on its feet financially that ii
will be self-supporting.
Excitement and enthusiasm soon ran
high and the subscriptions were star ted,
and over $500 was pledged in black and
white. But this is not all that is needed.

1t seems that the Sunday night en-
tertainments. recently so popular in
London, are beginning to pail upon
those for whom they were intended.
Out of five clubs which used to give
orchestral or other concerts on Sunday
nights in the west end only one re-
mains. The Sunday discussions upon
theatrical matters are also, it is al
legged, not nearly so well supported as
the Thursday nigl smoking concerts.
The chief difficulty in the organizing
and developing of Sunday concerts and
entertainments lies ia the fact that the
vast majority of Londoners live in the
suburbs. and prefer their family circle
and their home to a journey 10 town on
Sunday evening.
