upon this subject, whether IL is this City
Council and the representatives OF the
Taxpayers that are at fault, or whether il
is the fault OF this tribunal TO which the
speakers at the indignation meeting. and
the newspapers OF the city, would prefer
that these men should be srraigned. In
1891 the members of the City Council de-
cided that the corporations, and tho rcr-
sons exercising special privileges in oar

There have bsea occasions in the history OF
the thester In Providence when patrons have
pushed and elbowed each other TO gain admis-
sion TO syhouse as did the large crowd at
keith's Opera House last evening. but such
occasions have been few. The size Of the
crowd at about o'clock reminded one of the
summer sxcursioniets trying to get away
from large resort down the bay at the
height of the season Every seat in the house
was taken aud scarcely another person could
have obtained standing room IN the pretty

tion offered was "sidewalks Of New York, |"
and when the curtain fell on the last act there
were no dissatisfied persons in the large audi
ence The play Is one that has about IL many
and at timss most excellent fun There are
scenes that produce genuine and hearty
laughter. In some ways IL differs from the
ordinary melo-drsma, and while in certain
parts there is some overdrawing, yet on the
whole 10 is good picture or human life in the
great metropolis.
One of the most important parts OF the play
Is of course the represen iation OF certain To-
calities In New York, and the scenes are
curate and well done. Especially good are

and its changing lights. and Greeley square

there was no more important attraction in
the piece 10 many than the diving scene in the
third act, IA which Speedy. the champion
diver or the world, dives a distance OF 30 feet
into a tank OF water This performance was
as clever a piece of realistic work as was ever
seen In this city.
The character OF Buttons McGurk. taken
by Charles 7 Aldrich. was about as amusing
as IL could be made Hhother as the simple
bum or as a combination of bum and detec-
