"what lot of elderly people there
were in the aud ience," was the remark
of the Young Person to her escort, as
they came out of the Providence Opera
House last evening. 1t looked like the
biggest house of the week and II was in
deed conspicuous, for women and men OF
mature age, many OF whom had undoubt-
edly seen Bulwer Lytton's LADY OF Ly-
ons'' more times than they have fingers
aud toes. and will continue TO take ad-
vantage of its reproduction in town so
long as they have eyes to see and ears to
hear. Just as Rosalnd and Orlando al
ways attract house full OF young peo-
pie, 50 Pauline and Claude Meinotte seem
to have personal charm that Is sustain
eu IOI the tneater gOer irOln the craule 10
the grave, so TO speak.
The gray boards and the matronly wo-
men in the audience last evening could
look well back into the younger years
when they enjoyed the ELUSIVE agony OF
the gardeners son and the daughter of
the merchant prince and be unable to re-
call a much more splendid Melnotte nor
a more handsome, than was Robert Ia
ber last evening, nor sweeter Pauline.
Mr.. Meredith's Col Damas also captured
pit and gallery and Mr.. Coleman renew
ed his several successes of the week as
Beausant. Indeed, the cast which has
proved SO satisfactory in plays demanding
FAR more OF art and intelligence ihan
does Lytton's pompous production
found no difficulty in giving completely
gratifying performance last evening. The
costumes and accessories were, as in
everything that has oeen produced dur
ing the v eek, about as nearly perfect as
they could well be.
The audience at the matinee today Is
enjoying "Romeo and Juliet" and the
sixth night of the engagement closes
with Shakespeare's Twelfth Night"

MARK HANNA'S SCHEMES.
Mark Hanna is beginning to realize
the troubles of a Doodle campaign. lie
finds that his agents are not too truUh-
full. For instance, until month ago
he firmly believed that the railroad en-
ployes had been thoroughly converted
Suddenly he saw few straws which
set him to studying the wind. Then
he took a half dozen of his shreWdeSt
and most trusted agents and set them
moving through Iowa, Illinois, In
diana and Ohio, with out knowledge
Of each others movements. Their
reports, separately and from the same
districts, showed that the railway en-
ployes, outside of the passenger train
conductors, were practically solid for
BRYAN, and that the conductors had
majority the same way. Similar re-
ports showed that the farmers were
almost on the verge of a mass move
ment in the same direction, and that
the break had already come in for
midable proportions.
Then. it is said, Mr.. Hanna adopted
the shrewd plan of telling the railroad
bosses to become conciliatory, and next
he set the factors to work to ease the
agricultural situation. He knew that
the low prices were a great moving
factor with the farmers. Wheat must
be started up, and wheat was started
up. 1t will be kept advancing until
the election is over. Corn, it is be-
lieved, is to be taken next, and by
October 18th there will be squirt in
that grain. Five million dollars spent
In booming wheat and corn would be
a cheap investment, if it only resulted
i'm carrying the grain belt for Mckin-
ley.
ASSESSMENTS ALL AROUND
The funds for these unparalleled ex-
penditures flow in smoothly. The basis
OF Hanna's assessments is already in
the hands of the Democratic mana
gers, and if it is correct it is astound-
ing. By these figures "a of / per cent
of the deposits in all banks in the
American Bankers Association is said
to be the assessment ratio, of which
over four-fifths has been paid in. Then
there is an equal assessment on the
capital stock of every solvent steam
and street railroad in the country, and
an even larger amount for the insol-
vent ones. The trusts are expected
to pay one-quarter of their last an
nual dividend, not infrequently
amounting to from 10 per cent to 20
per cent of their capital stock. Over
and above this, the big capitalists are
making special contributions, and the
protected industries are coming up
with nearly as much as was produced
in the old ''fat-frying" days of 'ss and
'92
