The Grand Jury made report yesterday on
their discoveries In the Kings County Jail In gen
eral. they say the jail is in good condition but
they found dirty straw IN the women's prison, and

whereby women are compelled to mix with other
prisoners Other reports made by the Grand Jury
are that the penitentiary Is IN hrst-cass order;

Is deserving OF special mention, that the condition
OF the County Amsbouse merits Their approval and
that the management OF the Insane Asylum is

TsHEATRICALs Will receive lively
impetus on Monday next, Sept. Z,
Labor Day afternoon, when Keith's
Opera House viii open for the season.
The preparations for this event have been
carried on in an energetic manner Tor
the past three or four weeks and the re-
suit viii be probably the finest entertain
ment OF vaudeville that has ever been pre-
sented In Providence. The artists are b.
Il Keith's Own Elegant Company OF Sc
lected and refined vaudeville entertainers
and they comprise the highest class per-
formers In the profession. Keith show
in the vaudeville line means that
thoroughly refined program OF specIalties
may be enjoyed at keith's Opera House
without the least fear that any vulgarity
will be permitted. Ii is a cardinal rule
with Mr.. Keith that his entertainers must
be free entirely from the taint OF even the
slightest suggestion of anything that
borders on vulgarity. 1t has been so for
years and that is one of the greatest rea-
successful. So next week ladies' and
children need have no hesitancy in at
tending the performances for they
will be eminently proper, ana, besides
all that the show is sure TO be one
OF the very best that has ever been given
al this popular and prosperous house.
The leading feature in the big program
will be the Lumiere Cinematographe, the
sensation of all Europe and the great
triumph OF the Keith houses in Boston,
New York and Philadelphia. This is the
most wonderful invention of the age. and
phot ography has been entirely resolu-
tionized since the discovery of the Cine
photographic. The views are said to be
the most marvellous OF any or the many
'sscopes' that have been seen In this
vicinity and il is certain that they are
presented with far greater realism than
has ever been seen in other pictures.
There are several views of the man9uvers
OF the 9TH Cavalry Curiassiers and the
parade of the 96th French Infantry. The
others in the bill are ali stars of the high
est repute In the professional world and
they command the highest salaries paid
TO any artists in the vaudeville ranks.
There will be daily matinees all next
week and Indies and children may avoid
the evening rush.
