Rice ever popular burlesquc "1493'
Will be presented at the Opera house, this
evening, and also Thursday evening
Many new and elaborate improvements
have been made and up TO date satires and
specialties introduced, this season. result

ever. The Portland Express of saturday

1t has been some time since 1892" was
given here, but it must have left pleasant
memories, for the house was packed TO
replcton, last night. The extravaganza
has apparently lost none of the elements
that went to create its great popularity
though it has been changed in many
minor details. 1t is. however, the same
| mirth provoking piece Of nonsense which
| for years has crowded the thentcrs all over
the country. Like all OF Rice's produc
tons the piece is beautifully staged. The
scenery, costumes and stage settings were
all that could be desired. The leading
character, Isabella, Queen of Spain, is
done by Mr.. Mark Smith and is Il
very clever piece of work. His song
Isabella, has been popular ever since it
was first heard here and Mr.. smith S
rendition is calculated to make it even
more so. Mr.. Will H. Sloan does very
funny act as ferdinand, King Of Spain,
but his Charley Tatters in the speciaties
introduced in the second act was the best
tramp acting. save and except The eccentric
genius of the Star Gazer, seen here for
years. Miss Maud Courtney does the

there are as many, on the whole, as year
ago. In some places there are not half
as many; in others very many more. The
TACT that moro deer were killed this year
Than last would not establish tho fact
That there were correspondingly more deer,
has been better, and very many more
hunters have visited our State, this year
will give you one instance OF how
enforcing the law has worked. In one
locality, warden staid III the woods dur

came on. In that locality there We're be
tween 80 and 100 deer butchcrcd in the
crust, and sent to market in disguise over
the c. p Railroad, and the butchery did
not stop till guide in the locality went
to the parties, and threatened them with
exposure. I could pick out. in that
locality two or three guides for wardens,
who would have prevented all this This
case is only one of many.
ntil year ago this winter we had
practically no money to enforce the laws
with. but now that the Legislature has
given US small appropriation, we must
Judlclously use it, so that when we go to
the next Legislature for new, and 1

METHODIST MINISTER'S.
A Lively Discussion OF General Confer
erce DoingS.

This morning lively discussion of tho
general conference doings took place at
the Methodist ministers meeting. Chap
lain j. ii. Nutting led, and in substance
said he endorsed the action of the confer
ence both in regard to adm ission OF women
and putting the three bishops on the nom
effective list. The word non-effective, he
said, only meant superannuated- Why
should not a bishop share with the elders
In the conferences and be relieved when
nge and weakness break them down as
in the cases Of these thres honored bish-
ops. He thought the three new bishops,
McCabe, Cranston and Hartzell, were ex-
cellent men. The repeated ballot ing
came, not from combination bur from
lack OF 1t. Too many men had too many
friends. Men not likely TO be made bisb-
ops, now IL ever, should have declined TO
be voted for over and over, and then the
voting would have been sooner over. The
movement to have laymen introduced
into oLr annual conferences Mr.. Nutting
believed there was no call for. Our lay
men would grow weary in annual con-
ference work. for so little concerns them.
Rev. Mr.. Cook thought he must cliti-
cize the general conference. To spend
$50, 900 and accomplish so little was a
biunder. This stirred up opposition and
Mr.. Cooks structure was shown to be
lame. That conference accomplished its
work well, 1t was quoIed from tho Cover
nor OF Ohio, who attended the session at
Cleveland, that he had been in many
large deliberative bodies, but never saw
so large body as this one achieve SO
much in the same length OF time.
Rev. q. W. Hunt of Attleboro next
spoke and was eloquent IN defence OF the
General Conference. Then fol lowed Rev.
NJ. :. Kaufman of Mathewsop Street NJ.
h. Church In this city. He said he had
never followed a General Conference Sc
closely; never had Methodism bad
in the very best spirit. The absence of
any ecclesiastical politics is proven be-
yopd doubt. Mr.. Kaufman said: 81
would like TO have had the article on
amusements expuDged from the dis
cipline. 4 would also like to have the
term OF the pastorate heightened. But on
all questions am confident the church
should be proud over the things done
and even not done.n
Rev. i. Follansbee OF Cranston Street
Methodist Church, who was present at
Cleveland, spoke and promoted a better
view of things done at the Genera! Con-
ference. Especially did he commend DIR.
Buckley. He said DR.. buckley was the
greatest man in Methodism. He could
have been made bishop on the first bal
lot, but he positively forbade the use of
his name.
Rev. II. j. Cady spoke, saying he was
pleased with the doiugs OF the General
Conference.
Rev. Mr.. Streeter thought the hymnal
should have been revised. lie thought
the article on amusements should be left
out.
Rev. George L. Brightman wondered
thnt tho General Conference found no
fault with the management OF the Church
Extension Society. Rev. }. Oldham con-
cluded the discussion.

Was Stricken Down.

NEWPORT, r. L., June 1.-william
Henry Dewick, one of the most popular
police officers, was killed by lightning
ABOUT O'Clock yesterday afternoon. 1t
was a brief but very severe tempest, tine
climax of an electrical storm that had
been hanging over the sky since sunrise.
There were only three flashes of light
ming, and it was one OF these that killed
Dewick. He was in the bedroom OF his
home. fixing to go to the station to re-
port for duty. Beside him was his three
year-old child. ciipging to the fathers
leg. Tue bolt came through the side OF
the house, striking Dewick on the fore
head. Hc fell TO ths floor without MUIR
mur, having been killed so suddenly
that he could have felt no pain. The
child, not knowing what had happened
TO the father, called the mother TO the
scene and the alarm was sent out.
Dewick leaves six children, who, with
he mother, have nobody to look TO for
support. Dewick's forehead and breast
we're Drowned by the bolt and ais
moustache and part of his hair we're
burned off. An examination OF the HOUSE
revealed very slight damage. Nothing
save two holes about the size OF lead

PLUMBERS ON STRIKE.
They Demand Higher Wages and
Shorter Hours.
Fifty Five, Number That Has So Far
Left Their Employment.

The plum ters' strike was inaugurated,
as announced, this morning. 1t is an
effort on the part OF a comparatively few
journeymen to get $3.50 for a working
day OF eight hours. The present rates
are s3 for nine-hour day.
The strike is not at all general at this
stage Of the game, and the largest mum Der
OF men reported "out'' is SO.
Mr.. Patrick Tierney, president of the
Master Plumbers Association, Is out of
town today, and many OF his associates
are are at the plumbers convention at
Cleveland, so that information from the
employers point OF view is scarce. Mr..
LeGarde, however, q member of the asso-
citation, who has lost the services of two
journeymen, says that.the demands of the
men arc not apt TO be granted.
There is no strike at Henry T.. Root q
place or at the shops Of the Thomas
Phillips Company on South Main street.
There was secret meeting OF the
strikers early this morning in the old
Infantry building on Dorrance street,
where the customary strike resolutions 10
"stick IL out" we're fsvorably considered.
AT Frederick q. Lees shop, 81 wey-
bosset street, where four men are en-
ployed, there is no strike. and all hands,
including one union man, reported for
work as usual this morning at the old
rates.

in the Sixth District Court this morn
ing Archi bald Williams pleaded guilty to
assaulting Ambrose Kingman, and was
lined IS and costs. Kingman is the
eccentric character seen on the streets
now and then in the role of an exhortor.
His clothing is painted with passages
from the Bible and he usually carries a
sheet OF tin which also bears Inscriptions
of religious character. The old man is
in the habit If haiting young men on the

ways. His hobby is to get young men to
stop smoking. Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Williams was smok ing 10 center and
kingiaan met him just as he was reach
ing the great bridge. The old man
walked mp to Williams and laid his hand
on his breast and asked him 10 throw
away the weed, and this riled Williams 8,
who made an effort 10 walk away. The
old man thought he had a convert and he
began pleading with the young man
which was more than the latter could
stnrd, so he pushed tho old fellow awsy
from MIN. kingman fell to the ground
with such force that he was rendered un-
conscious. He was taken to the Rhode
Island Hospital, where 1t was found that
his injuries were not of a serious nature,
and he will be seen on the street again in
a DAY or two. In view of the fact that the
old man had put his ba uds on Mr.. Will
liams, Judge Sweetand thought that
small fine was sufficient to warn Mr..
Williams thar he must not use bis fists
again.

SENECA, Mo-, June !. Rev. Harry
White, whose wife was drowned in the
awful flood disaster of Saturday morning,
had a narrow escape from death. Rev.
and Mrs. White were married in New Jer-
sey only few months ago. When he
came here to accept the pestorate of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, they rented
rooms in the Dispatch building. Rev.
and Mrs. White were asleep whet, the tor
rent struck the building and carried it
away. just before the building went to
pieces they crawled out OF a window and
plunged into the atream. Mr.. White is a
powerful swimmer and managed TO sup
port his wife until floating log struck
him OH the head and rendered him
momentarily unconscious. Just as he re-
gained consciousness he heard the shrieks
of his wife, as she went down in the tor
rent. for the last time. The Hood swept
him on through the darkness, but he i'm
ally managed TO reach shore and CROPPED
his way back TO the town.
