FAlSTAFF'S MlNSTRElS.
Clever Amateur Performance IL
Providence Opera House.

The annual minstrel performance OF
the Falstaff Club attracted theaterful
OF friends to the Providence Opera House
last evening. The entertainment was first
class and forcefully illustrated the amount
of time and attention bestowed by the
young men selected to uphold the clubs
prestige. The only objection raised was
that the show was too generous; 1t took
too much time TO run out the long ana
varied program. The particularly notice
able features of the entertainment were the
efforts of the performers TO present some
thing new and especially prepared for the
occasion. The costumes we're, without
exception, up to the professional stand
ard, and some Of them were strikingly ly
original.

1t may not be generally known that In
the early history of Philadelphia 1t was
criminal offense TO walk the streets dressed
i'm fancy costume. The whipping post was
not only used as medium for wife beat
ers in the days when there were few laws
and fewer infuctions of law and order,
but any one caught on the highway dressed
in womans : garb was given dose of back
strapping." From the following extract
from the presentmenis of the grand Jurlcs
Il will be seen what our forefathers thought
of masquerading:
".John smith was disguised in woman s.
clothes, walking the streets openly ana
going from house 10 house against TIE
laws of God and this province, to the
straning Of holy profession and against
the laws of nature. Edward James, Ike
offender, at an unreasonable time OF night
Dorothy, wife of Richard Canterul, Is in
dictcd also for being masked walking ana
dancing in the house of James Shines at 10
o'clock at night" These hcinous anc
criminal ofonscs took place in the year
1909 There was no attempt made to have
masquerade balls until about the year
1929. when the movement was promptly
suppressed by an act of the state leglsla-
ture.-Philadolphia Record.

FINANCIAL Ne VS..
Reduced NorthWestDividend'
Bull Sugar Argument.
New York Central Directors TO Issue
Usual Dividend.
Special 10 the News.

NEW YORK, June THE impression Is
that the reduction in the Northwest divi'
dend TO IA per cent. basis, which places
that stock now practically in the per
cent. dividend ranks, has been discontln-
ued. The statement for the year, all
things considered, does not make very oad
showing. II, during such period as 1874,
with business practically at a standstul,
with their industry paralyzed, with the
price Of copper at the lowest in the mem
ory of man, the Northwest company could
still earn its full fixed charges, the Z per
cent. dividend upon its preferred ana
per cent. on the common, there Is every
reason to hope that with the revival III
business that has since set in the COM
pspy will quickly recuperate ana
come to the front again as
big dividend Garner. Northwest has been
sold freely aud one house in the street Is
borrowing no less than $4,000 shares. III
stands to reason, therefore, that any de-
clines that the professional traders may
make will be taken advantage OF by those
w no started early To depress the price oil
Northwest to get back their contracts.
The New York Central directors will
meet toward the end of next week and
will declare their regular per cent. This
will be followed by the Michigan Central,
| the &. s. and l.. s., in due course, all oil
which will make most fiattering exhibits.
| The Industrials ought to come well TO the
| front.
No bigger bull argument could possibly
be advanced on Sugar than this very re-
| duction in the dividend on Northwest.
Sugar in time, so the Havemeyers say,
, will cross 150. There is certain to be an
extra dividend paid this year, and in four
years the company has paid 10 less than
81 per cent. IN dividends upon the COM
mon stock.
Among the speciaities Manhattan ano
G. T.. are booked for an advance and 1t II
very probable that Atchison will have I
squirt of two or three per cent, because
the reorganization will be al overwhelm
ing success.
