LoihrOp,s Opera House.

Lotbrop's Opera House has undergone
some change since last season and the
cosy and popular theater will look bright
and new on Monday afternoon wnen
Katherine Rober and strong support
ing company will appear. Miss Rober
has added Carmen to her extensive
repertoire this season, and she will be
seen in her successful assumption OF this
role, in which she scored wonderful
success in Boston recently. Those who
saw Olga Nethersole In this character
will remember that IT was warm, spon-
tsneous ,vivacious woman In the lower
walks OF life who sacrificed everything to
pleasure and the qualification Of selfish
desires. II is a powerful part, requir-
ing ability of high order to make 1t
acceptable. Miss Rober, according 10 all
accounts from Boston, has touched the
keynote OF the character and added ma
terially TO her reputation as clever and
gifted player. She will be supported by
a well balanced and competent company,
and visitors to the theater Will probably
not be disappointed by next weeks bill.

pleasure seekers from the South and West
will be obliged to sail up to the city and
take the boats on the Providence, Fall

1t only takes about an hour more, and
the local company's feet is made Up of
the best sort OF steam craft and the boats

Rocky Points reputation as a first
class resort is by no means confined to
Rhode Islsnd. There is hardly tourist
who has not enjoyed one of Mr.. Harring-

with the incidental delicacies OF the sea-
son.
And the dinner is only one OF many at
fractions. There are two theaters al
Rocky Point az both OF which contin-
uous performances are given, and there
is the Ferris wheel aud tho carousals,
and last but among the best is the ex-
hilarating sport OF shooting the chute.
Mr.. BurlIngame, manager OF the chute
at Rocky Point says that it has been
o great success. lie also told n NEWS
reporter that he had but one complaint
TO make, and that was OF young men
"A

the chute boats, and thus, by their own
foolishness, run the risk of accident in
the enjoyment of what is naturally per-
fectly harmless sport.

The Stories They Wanted.

Although Burr Mcintosh is not a
patent medicine, he fills long-felt want
and his business in life is to carry health
and happIess TO every home. This come
dian is one of the most curious compo-
sites on our stage. His abilities are
varied, his accomplishments versatile,
his natural and acquired gifts remark
able. He sbounds in contrasts and OPP
posing qualities and is a human anti
thesis seven feet high by four in width.
He is at once an actor and a wit, an
athlete and dandy, mau OF fashion
and a laboring man. gallant and good
fellow, necIomancer and poet, a
fessional beauty and type of modesty,
q champ ion sprinter nd.about the size
OF an elephant in good training. With
these various qualities Mr.. Mcintosh is
better fitted than anybody we know TO
fight the battle of life creditably. When
one set of his faculties is not in service
our comedian brings forth another and
continues in usefulness. lie is a lineal
descendant OF that ingenious article OF
furniture which Goldsmith says "con-
trived a double debt TO pay; bed Dy
night, chest of drawers by day." Burr
Mcintosh is always ready for the situa-
tion that confronts itself. lie is the
master, not the victim of circumstances.
His motto Is "Semper parates." lie
falls, like cat, on his feet and fits him
self easily to discover advantages in ac-
cidents that would overcome less YER
satile persons. In the winter Mr.

Eastern League.

After 10 innings OF play, Providence
defeated Syracuse in the second game OF
the last home series, 6-5, at Adelaide
Park yesterday afternoon. Such in brief
is the story of the magnificent pitchers
battle fought between Dolsn and Delaney
as witnessed by 1000 people. Only on
one previous occasion. namely the morn
ing OF July A, 1892, was thinning game
played at the park, and those who Wit
messed yesterdays contest can rest as
sured tnat they saw one Of the few
games that go down in the archives OF
the Eastern League as makers of baseball
history. For three hours and 20 minutes
the rattle lasted, now fsvoring the Grays
and then the Stars, seesawing TO and
fro till the score was tied for the third
time in the ninth and the run down the
goodly game. one fit for the gods and
mortuls alike, one in which honor was
due both the victors and vanquished.
Taken from spectators standpoint as
we'll as from that OF the critic, the game
was huge success. The infield and
outheld was of tho gilt edge order, only
five errors being made in Is innings, four
by the visitors ana one by Coogan OF a
hard foul fly near the grand stand. There
was just enough hitting OF the hall to re-
lieve the monotony OF an out-and-out
pitchers battle, and certain dash and
snap TO the base running that brought
forth applause on several occasions. But
hs lam ha nf 4 Ia Aoty IN lln-
Ian and Delaney, the respective pitchers
of Providence and Syracuse. 1t is hard
TO say which o! the two did the better
work. Delaney allowed but 10 hits to be
made off his delivery, while 10 were
scored against Dolan. Still, the ex-Bos-
tonian only sent i've men to first on
balls, while the Stars twirler present.
ed Providence witffi3. In stick work
Delaney was somewhat Dolan's superior.
But taken in the aggregate, the work of
the men compared very favorably. The
battery work of Dolan and Coogan, now
ever, was away and above that of De-
laney aud Ryan, and Zahner when he
was substituted in the sixth. This can
probably be best illustrated by the fact
that of the five bases stolen, so per cent.
of them were scored by Providence play
ers.
There was more than the usual amount
of kicking in yesterdays game, in fact
pandemonium reigned in the ffth, when
Bannon sent hard driven ball in close
proximity TO third base clear out to the
fence. Umpire Doescher decided the bail
foul, Bannon, and likewise the rest of
the Syracuse aggregation, kicked, and
howled and shouted direful threats of
vengeance, bur after Bannon had been
fined $40 and later put out of the game
for persistent kicking, the even tenor OF
the day gain prevailed. With the score
tied in the ninth inning both teams
worked hard and earnestly TO score the
winning run. Men managed to reach
the bases several times. bur the great
work of the pitchers prevented any scor-
ing until the fifteenth, when Canavan
scored the tally on Drauby's timely sim
gle. Summary:

Finally In despair over the failure Of
every effort to arouse the interest OF his
audience, Burr made ready TO escape from
the house in display, when the host ap-
preached him. Sir, said he, all thnt is
very clever. but II isn't what my guests
want. Haven't you any good stories?
indeed, groaned Burr, / have told all my
best ones and they didn't tempt even
smile. But, persisted Baron dc Roth
schiid, haven't ou..any stor les with
spice in them? Oh! cried Burr, lots OF

Club stories. An, smiled the Baron,
that's what we want. Now go ahead.
All right, says Burr, just ask the ladies
to withdraw and l. II give 1T to 'em
hot. Ask the ladies TO withdraw! ejac-
ulated the noble host in astonishment.
Why, 1t Is the ladies you are to entertain.
But, cried Burr, blushing furiously,
can't you understand, these are mems
stories--neyer told outside a billiard
TO I'm or the Lambs. They couldn't be
told before women. Couldn't, eh? laugh
ed Baron Alfred, joyously. BY jove,
you're gem! Ladies. ho cried, smil-
ing to his guests, this gentleman will
pow give you certain anecdotes not in
tended for general circulation. Immedi-
ately the company became interested,
and Burr. muttering, Well, II You can
stand 1t / can, hid his bushes desper-
ately, and began the relation OF raoy
stories. His remarks were received with
great applause and at the end of this ex-
traordinary entertainment he had
enough engagements to ill his time for
the rest OF the season. Now, II that

ness-the fashionable watering places.
At one time IN life, before their present
greatness came upon them, Burr BIC
Intosh and Marshall Wilder travelled to-
gethtr for dollars and diversion. They
were the original long man and short
man. The little humorist and the giant
made money. but they had to converse
through telephone, and eventually came
to a disagreement, with the result that
both entertainers are now rivals in busi-
ness. Each is a high favorite In London,
where fashionable folk, not having many
resources within themselves, need outside
help to be amused. This system of di-
vesion probably descended from the olden
times when the Kings jester kept the
court from boredom by his quibs was
revived in these times by corney Grain
and carried into futher excellence OF
George Grossmith. The first American
entertainer who made a success in Lon
don was Frank Lincoln, lively humor-
ist, who was well received by the Prince
of Wales. Then followed Marshall
Wilder, whose natural and artistic equip
ment for mirlh speedily established him
i'm he favor OF London. An entertainer
in England Is invited after dinner, and
his business Is to enliven the guests
when they are heavy with dining ana
the failure OF their own wit in conversa-
tion. A performer who can succeed in
this task receives fee of ten guineas
and engagements for every night in the
week. In this strange fashiol corney
Grain and Grossmith used To earn about
1900 a week, and without doubt Marshall
Wilder makes $4,000 or $4,000 every summer
when he goes to London. Burr Nc
Intosh's first experience OF this way to
earn living was curious. His humorous
reputation had preceded him, and few
days after his arrival IN London he was
summoned TO entertain Baron Alfred de
Rothschild's dinner guests. On entering
the drawing room our comedian was con-
fronted with an assembiage OF half the
grand danes and fashionable folk of Lon
don. lie told them some OF his wittiest
stories, which fell 1at; he sang some
negro melodies, which fell fiat; he ex-
ecuted his best card tricks, which fell
