and IL will therefore be in the nature OF
welcome news that IL will be seen again
at the Providence Opera House for
three nights and matinee, beginning
Thursday evening next. The very same
company that we saw last sesson-known

kelth's Opera House.

Everybody in town will want to see
"The Cotton King" Manager William A.
Brady's great production OF Sutton
Vane's latest and most successful play,
which comes 10 Keith's Opera House
next Monday, October 2S, for week.
Those who intend TO go will have TO
make an early visit TO the box office, for
the chances are that tho record OF this
play last season will be repea ted in this
city again. The production here will be
the same as that OF last. year. "The Cot
ton King" has story OF intense human
interest interpreted by naturally drawn
characters who are typical OF the classes
they represent, heroic, romantic, pat hetic
and humorous. There is plenty OF fun in
the piece and many chances for hearty
laughs at the comicai situations and
lively repartee. Several OF the incidents
are OF the most thrilling character. There
is a sensation when the ponderous eleva-
tor car Is seen coming down slowly but
surely to crush ont the life OF the beau
tiful young heroine who had been locked
in at the bottom OF the well by the viii
lain OF the play, who Is bent on her de-
struction because of jealousy and greed
for wealth. The hero discovers her great
danger in time, rushes out and with an
axe breaks through the elevator well
wall and resches the girl. The story is
told without any recourse to tswory
sentimentality or cheap theatrical de-
vices;.it is clean aud wholesome from the
start and uplifting in tone. The scene
In the calico factory is probably the most
realistic ever SET upon the English-speak-
ing stage. This mill scene evoked plen-
tiful encomiums last season when ii was
produced at keith's and in this section,
which represents so many mill interests,
it appeals with peculiar force.
GA Yenuine Yentleman" is the title
OF the play Mr.. Gus Heege has just com
pleted to take the place of his highly sue
cessful lyon Yonson" and Manager Ja-
cob Lift will produce the new piece In
this city at Keith's Opera House Monday,
Novembe 4, and week with an excellent
company and scenic investiture of an
ella borate description. Mr.. Heege has al
ways been considered capable OF more
pretentious effort than has characterized
his past triumphs and the large following
enjoyed by him will cordially welcome
their favorite dialect star in a new play.
"a Yenuine Yentleman" il not simply
a vehicle for the display of Mr.. Heege's
well-known abilities, but a finished COM
edy drama abounding In well-drawn
characters and possessed OF dramatic
OF high order of merit.

Success Depends on the Preparation
OF IA Separate Specific for Each ALI
ment.

Professor Munyou does not claim that
he has one remedy that will cure all com
plants, but that he. has prepared specific
cures or nearly all diseases. He does
not claim that his rheumatism Cure will
cure consumption or dyspepsia, but he
does claim that II will cure rheumatism.
His Dyspepsia Cure is prepared expressly
TO cure dyspepsia and all stomach troubles,
his Cough Cure to cure coughs aud all
lung complaints; his Catarrh remedies to
cure catarrh. The same may be said of
all his different remedies.
Munyon's Remedies are absolutely harm

cures. A separate specific for each dis

"Liberty Hall'' is a delightful comedy
full OF sentiment and as pure as an in
fant's mind. 1t Is domestic drama,
simple aud sincere. Vice has 70 part or
share in II and the emotions il caiers TO
are those that find ready response in good
and bad alike. Mr.. X. Z. Cartons play
has distinct literary merit. Its dialogue
10 delightful without any clap-trap effort
or up-to-date smartness. II is sensible,
elevating and chsrmipgly interesting.
Its story progressed logically 10 re-
markable and pleasing conclusion. 1t
was love theme. Two well-born young
women are called to face the world pen
niless and they are befriended and pro-
ttcteu by a cousin, heir TO the estates,
who is IN love with one OF the girls.
Love Is finally reciprocated and peace
comes TO crown domestic disquietude.
Mr.. Miller's playing was peculiarly in
teresting because Of its thoroughness and
ease. His fine reading and unobtrusive
icting was constant pleasure. Miss AL
len was likewise very effective as the
proud but charming young woman. Her
conception of the part was peculiarly
sympathetic. MIR. Crompton's character
ization was masterly effort. IL seemed
more than playing, because II was so beau
tifully sympathetic and natural. This

THE REGISTERS CLERKS.
Controller Bowler Decides That Their
Salaries Cannot lie Changed.

Controller Bowler Decides That Their
Salaries Cannot lie Changed.
Judge Bowler, controller of the treasury,
recently received letter from the register
of wills OF the District of Columbia IN ref
erence to his powers 1NDder the following
clause of the act of Jun Ia 1892, fl11nxsthe
salary of the register:
provided, That the number of clerks and
others employed in the office of the register
of wills shall no: be increased nor
shall the salary or compensation of clerks
and others be increased beyond the salaries
or compensation paid during the fiscal year
1891"
The register inquired whether this clause
precludes a Encouragement of salaries pro-
vided the aggregate does not exceed the
amount paid during the year specified. 1t
is understood that he desired to increase
the salaries of some of his assistants by re-
ducing the salaries of others.
In his reply, Controller Bowler expresses
the opinion that the clause quoted prohibits
the register from increasing the salary or
compensation of any clerk or empIoye of
your (his) office, Notwithstanding a COR
responding reduction may be made in the
salaries of others, SO that the aggregate is
not increased"

FLOWS WITH WHISKY.
An Official Who Wants Troops in an
Alaska Mining Town.

Benjamin p. Moore. collector Of customs
at Sitka, Alaska, has forwarded to the
Treasury Department a, report from Deputy
Collector McNair at Circle City, Alaska
which is situated on the Yukon river about
eighty miles above Birch creek, in which
he states that after talking with almost
every miner who has come in from the
Birch creek mining district he is of opin-
ion that the amount of gold dust and mug
gets taken out this summer will reach $780,
600 The land. he says, flows with whisky
and as many of the claim owners and most
of the laborers are aliens. he thinks a ..om-
pany of United States troops should be sta
toned at Circle City. The town now has
12o dwellings. fifteen saloons, three stores,
an opera house. etc. Another report from
Deputy Collector Lane at Port of Kodiak
says that talks with returning miners con-
firm the report that extensive mines have
been discovered at the head of Cooks inlet
None of them. however, have SO far proved
very rich in mineral. but will run from $40
to $50 per day to the man. He recommends
that a custom house be established at Tyo-
nok and an inspector placed at Cooks inlet
Assistant Secretary Hamlin today said
that Congress would be asked to authorize
the sending OF troops, as requested by Dep
uty Collector Lane.

FRICTION In COLOMBIA
Great Britain May Perhaps Take Radical
Steps Soon.
The Trouble With an English Com
pany and the Arbitration That
Was Unsntisfac ctory.

There has been much friction Of late be-
tween Great Britain and the South Amer
lean republic of Colombia, which, 1t Is
thought, may lead to radical steps by the
British. The Colombian government gave
concession to an English syndicate to build
a railway through tine state Of Antigua,
tapping the richest section of Colombia
The company did not proceed with the work
and the government declared the conces-
sion forfeited. The company then present
ed claim for s640.OO0 damages. Colom-
bia refused TO pay, but consented to arbi-
trate the claim. Out of this arbitration
has grown the present friction.
DIR. LuhrSen, the German minister to
Colombia. acted as one of the arbitra tors,
but as the Colombia press and public be-
lieved him to be favorable to the English
claim riotous scenes attended the meeting
Of the abitrators. Colombian soldiers were
stationed at the German minister's house,
and 1t is claimed they assisted the eX-
cited populace in indignities on the minis
ter's household which, however. were not
serious being confined to noise, threats and
alleged drunken disorder.
Joint Protest.
As a result of concerted action IN London
and Berlin the British minister at Bogota,
ceived joint instructions to protest to Pres
ident Caro- of Colombia This was done,
and the Colombian government consented
that a public explanation should be made
in the Diario Official But this explanation,
signed by the minister of foreign affairs,
is said to have been as offensive as the
preceding events.
No settlement was made on the arbitra-
tion. and now urgent efforts are being
brought to bear on the British foreign Of

over the report that Congress will he asked
to investigate the office because of alleged
scandalous conduct in the award of con-
tracts The allegation is made by certain
pc rsons, described at the department as dis
gruntled contractors. that contracts for pub
lie work are awarded mainly to advance the
political interests of the administration. In
support of this assertion il is said that, al
though Post x McCord We're the lowest bid
GERS for structural iron on the appraisers
warehouse at New York, they We're denied
the contract because the department de-
sired to have the necessary iron obtained in
the south and not III the west. The bid of
Post & McCord was S4t1oo0. being Sll,nD
less than that of the next lowest bidder. Ali
the bids We're rejected. 1t was stated In the
architects office today that this action was
taken simply because all the bids received
We're in excess OF the funds available for the
work, and for that reason alone. As to the
other charges no one WAS found who cared
even to deny them.
