CammedIan Danlel,s Rooster.


When Frank Daniels and "The Wizard
OF the Nile" come to the Providence
Opera House next Monday they will bring
with them a member Of the company
who, though he does not appear on the
stage, will never be dropped from the
salary list. HIS name IL "Kibosh" and
he Is called that after his masters role in
the opera, for his Kibosh In a rooster,
full iedged AMI with a snare-tenor crow
that would wake a farm houses occu-
pants II they were sleeping under the
influence OF chloform.
lie is Frank Daniels mascot, and came
from his farm up in Rye, N. Y, about
which SO much has been written this
winter.
Paul West, who is here to exploit the
opera, is telling a new story on the roos-
ter, which he voches for as being true.
For proof, he can show the rooster wnen
the company arrives.
"Daniels carries Kibosh everywhere, {"
says he, "and the company has grown
very fond OF the little chap, though on a
recent trip they came near losing their
affection for him. 1t was on the run be-
tween Rochester and Washington, the
first night journey we had made this sea.
son. The weeks travel had been a very
hard one, owing TO the storms through
New York State, and the company were
completely tired out. They got into the
sleeper at Rochester pretty early, and
settled down for good nights rest, tor
Warrington would not be reached till 10
O'Clock Monday morning.
As was usual, Kibosh was given a place
in his cage at the end of the car, for DAN
iels would never allow him out OF his
sight Kibosh was sloery, too, and lost
no time in hopping on one leg, poking
his head under bis wing and going OF TO
Dreamland. And all went well.
But kibosh was only rooster after all,
as was soon shown. About midnight IN g
train reached Canandaigua, where the big
station was brilliantly lighted by electri
city. As they passed through and stopped,
there was a terrible Cock "a doodle-d
and everyone In the company was awake
in an instant. Then II came again. IL
was Kibosh. The electric lights had made
him think II was morning, and he had
signalied the approach OF dawn IN his
usual manner. The train, however. pass
| ed on before he he'd time 20 crow again,
and the company went TO sleep, taking
| kibosh's mistake ~ a good Joke.
But the next time an electric light was
| passed that awful crow again broke the
stiffness, and IL began to be ANYTHING but
Joke. Finally when Bethlehem was
reached II came louder than ever awoke
everything In the car and prceipitsted
| things.
II was Joke no longer and Kitosh
was then and there choked of. Thew
had his cage turned Ground so that he
could not see out any moro. and from
thst time on ell was calm and peaceful,
and the old saying ihst factors never
sleep" was proved 10 be nothing but 4
tissue Of falsshood.

That always popular and charmingly
attractive picture OF rural New England
life, "1he Old Homestead, was never
played better In this city than IL was at
the Providence Opera House last evening,
and large audience, many of whose
members had seen the piece before realiz-
ed that fact. There might have been
misgivinRs that the character OF Uncle
Josh would suffer by the absence of Den
man Thompson, but after Mr.. Wilson had
been on the stage few moments the man
who made the play was constantly in evil
dence, so faithful was Comedian WilsQn's
reproduction of the old familiar Stage
figure. Dir. Thompson was never really
an actor, he played himself, to great
extent, as Uncle Josh, and he gave 1t such
flavor OF sturdy naturalness that the
old country farmer sank deep in every
ones affection. Mr.. Wilson played Dem
man Thompson, and OF course emb bodied
Uncle Josh. Therein was his consummste
art. Mr.. Wilson first appeared in this
rington's Opera House. His next visit to
this city was as Sir Joseph PorIer.- * e.
Il. in the famous cast OF "Plnafore,' at
the unsurpassed Park Garden production
in 1878. Since then he has been seen here
infrequently, but visitors TO Boston will
always remember his Bunthorne in Spa
tience," and many other characters while
he was leading player In the famous
Boston Museum Stock Company.
From Sir Joseph and Bunthorne to
Joshua Whitcomb Is q far cry. but this
fine artist steps over the cbasm with re-
markable freedom and settles down in
Uncle Josh's clothes as IL they were made
especially for him. Here and there, how
ever, he fails To conceal his art, but the
extra exertion. makes the spectators laugh
and that is probably one of the ends
aimed at.
"The Old Homestead" nestIes very
close TO our affection. 1t breaches and il
practices. It's temperance lesson is beau
tiful, its humor 10 fine and its theme 10
tender and pathetic. 1t has an atmos-
phere Of rustic nobility and altogether it
is good and honest. These are some of the
reasons why the largest audience for
several weeks-excepting the Irving-Ter-
ry engagement--was present in the thea
ter last evening.
The company was excellent with some
old favorites in the cast. Each part was
played skillfully and the.performance was
remarkably even and well balanced
throughout. The play was put upon the
the storm scene closing the first act be-
ing unusually effective, realistic and
novel.
"The Old Homestead will be played
this evening and tomorrow afternoon and
evening.

POOR OLD popuLlsM!


In league with republlcanism, aiding
and abetting the strictly gold and high
tariff party, party under which grew up
Ill the evils against which the dear, sim
pie old populists have been so Justify In
Weighing: a party particularly obnoxious
now to hte South and West, where pop
ulsm alone fiourishes, Is a beautiful in
stance Of political md personal consis'
tsncy by the populist senators who are
the populists' leadersl
BY voting with the democrats on the
question of the reorganization of the
senate the populists could have pre-
vented the acquisition OF the control
Of that body by the republicans. To re
main silent, as the two other parties
stood. was to deliberately give the re
pnllicans the control Of both houses Of
congress. The party that has the com
mittecs has the legislation of its house
in It's hands. It can always stiile and
suppress, If 1t can not enact, laws.
And the patriotic pops--these enemies
OF gold and tariffs. these friends Of tho
people, these paternalists rather THAN

This piece Of history is particularly
Commended to the careful attention OF
those followers Of the party In Texa'
who have always insisted, as former
democrats, that their assistance coult

Attention is called to the fact that over

thus rofuting the often repeated asser-
tlon that said law would have the effect
of stopping railroad construction. Fig

on the subject Of assessing railroad

say: uniformity OF assessment. fair

| difficult of realization under our system
| OF assessment. In Kentucky II has been
accomplished by charging the railroad
commission Of that State with that Inn

BY way OF recommendation, the commits
| sion suggests that the commission law
should be changed as to the time pre-.
scribed for giving notice of change OF
rates. no as TO conform with existing In
| tcrstate conditions. In other words, they
| ask that the length OF the reriod OF notice
should be uniform with that prescribed
| by the Interstate commerce law.
The commission also suggests that n
