The LYING-IN HOSPITAL.

One Of the most useful institutions In
the city is the Providence Lying-In Hos
pitai. In the words of the constitution
''the object of this corporation shall be
to provide a place for the confinement Of
women who are without means and suit
able abode at the time of childbirth, and
Of such other INT as may wish from
any cause to pay a stipulated price for
the privilege of being confined in a well
regulated hospital. In accordance will
this over 100 women during the past year
have taken advantage Of the opportunity
TO have better care than money has pro-
vIded in private houses throughout the
city. This is shown by the published sta
tistics.
The Providence Lying-In Hospital
affords special advantages to those women
liable to be confined In boarding houses
or who are taken suddenly i'll while tran
silently stopping in Providence. In con-
nection with the institution is a training
school for nurses, and any nurse holding
a diploma from this school is a specialist
with all that that name implies. Such
1870 1NNA thO acAiuho " thSEo cDNNlui
nurses that a directory Of graduates has
been established at the hospital aud
usually a graduate may be obtaineo at any
time of the day or night.
This hospital also becomes famous In
another b~ranch-the care of infants pre-
maturely born or weakly from any other
cause. Usually about thirty are under
care, a large proportion OF them being
from the homes of the wealthy. No de-
scription Of such an institution as the
Providence Lying-In Hospital Is complete
TO 60 before the public without stating
the financial needs. The expenses are
borne in the main by those charitably
inclined. The hospital is much In need
Of a permanent fund, and also of SUBJ
scribers to the deficiency fund. All visi-
tors arc made welcome. The trustees
would be glad II every mother in the State
could visit the hospital, for they feel
sure that it would not only meet with
heartfelt sympathy, but with substantial
assistance, which would enable 1t to car
ry on the good work which is now only
fairly begun.

In the history Of the stage IN any country.
The vaudeville stage has always had q
great interest for all classes, but 1t had
vironment that the best class Of theater-
goers could not give 1t the encouragement
Of its patronage. Mr.. Keith freed it from
its impurities, took what was best In 1t
from repelling locations, and pla Led IT In
Q palace. He has not only elevated the
variety profession and raised the tone Of
Its performances, but he has also done .
service of incalculable value In educating
his audiences. The character OF the per
formancss he now gives is the best proof
possible Of the improvement he has
wrought in the taste and judgment OF his
patrons. While he has been educating
the masses, he mas also been attracting to
him the very best element Of citizenship
n.the four big cities where he has labor
ed. There are audiences OF nc finer quality
to be found in any theater than daily as
sem bic In MIR. Keith's houses.
To such perfection has he brought his
theaters and his performances that the
dramatic profession no longer expresses
establishment as it sees his ranks daily
recruited from the list of Legitimate actors
and operate stars. Boston has q special
reason for feeling pride in him and his
career. He is an energetic, public-spirit-
ed, broad-minded citizen, identified In
a practical way with every charity OF the
city, and he has given to Boston the
proud distinction Of possessing the hand
some and most costly theater In America
and the finest place OF public amusement
in the world owned and controlled by one
individual. His Goth birthday brings
to him not only the congratulations Of
his.employes, but also of the entire dra-
matte profession, and the press and pub.

"a Milk White Flag"

Hoyt's spectacular musical military comedy,
"a Milk White Flag" which ran al! last sea-
son at Hoyt's Theater in New York city. and
also over 100 nights in Chicago. Will be at the
Providence Opera House for one week. COM
mencing Monday, February g.. with two
matiness, Wednesday and Saturday at 2. This
emanstion from Mr.. Hoyt's fertile brain is a
good natured satire on military orgsniza
tions, and is replete with that humor which
is so arnpaut In the make mp Of the boys In
blue. The author has seized with ready wit
upon many opportunities for INVITING the
amateur soldier which the latter Is constantly
furnishing to the keen pen and fertile imag-
ination of the writer, and from this ample
material has constructed n comedy more Ella
borate In its entirety than any of his previous
efforts. lin "a Milk White Flag he has out
classed all his previous efforts. The play win
be presented in the same elaborate manner,
and with the same marked attention TO
artistic detail and accessories as ell Of his
other productions. A cast Of 30 people. stun.
ming scenery, a military band. new musical
numbers and the latest select specialties make
up the aggregate OF this presentation.

out the theory already maintained Of the
real purpose underlying the atrocities

THE INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

paper, comprising twenty-four pages,
printed from new type on special paper,
with a fine example Of color work ae-
signed and drawn in cur art department,
and a brief story Of Industrial Provi-
dence, to which is added informing
sketches OF nearly two hundred local
business houses Of prominence in their
several lines.
We believe that no such extensive sum-
mary of business, trade and COM
merce has before been presented by q
Rhode Island newspaper, and TO be able
to tell the brief story Of SO many
houses of standing in the community Ia
a matter OF qualification to us, as w
trust our efforts to make that pres enta-
tion worthy OF the Importance OF the In
terests involved and the confidence re-
posed in US have proved successful by
this issue. We have taken advantage of
every suggestion and have devoted every
effort to produce a newspaper that shall
be OF more thsn passing Interest as pre-
senting in its pages a somewhat COM
measurate idea of Providence as it is to-
day in its industrial, commercial and
trade life.
To illustrate this contemporaneous in
d~ustrial condition what better means
could be employed than to present spe-
cifc examples? Such a presentation
could never be exhaustive, never be com
plete, but we believe that in the list of
nearly two hundred business concerns
that are told about In these columns to-
day will be found a ~lea1ing representa-
tive OF nearly every lire Of business and
trade in the community. The variety
will doubtless be surprising. Provi-
dence is a big town of greatly diversified
industry. We make nearly every
thing, from bread to steam engines.
Many of our institutions are famous
all over the United States, some Of
them are known throughout the
civilized world. With this incompatible
background of industry, trade Of every
kind thrives in our beautiful city. Mercan-
tile esta blishments and tho various mauu.
facturers of and dealers in things OF every
sort that contribute to our health, wealth
and the pursuit of happiness. prosper
among US. Our banking Institutions are
extraordinary as to number in proportion
to population and they are OF envisbls
standing, financially substantial and
efficiently conducted.
In the preparation Of this issue We have
been tempted to 60 afield into the sphere
of art and culture as developed in this
community. A consideration OF our in
dus,rial, commercial and trade conditions
leads almost irresistibly to what may be
called our higher life with which are iden-
titled our educational institutions, our
schools, our many and various sources and
resources OF social sIsys,ion and culture.
But we have avoided this temptation for
the present to consns cur work strictly
to industrial Providence" We believe
that though necessarily inadequate the
picture drawn ia thee many pages
does fair justice to the subject II purports
to present, and we trust tina, It may
prove as satisfactory 10 our readers a. Its

We'll, " said Mrs Picket, sit rs true
