Providence Opera House.

James O'Neill presented his familiar
and popular version OF Monte Cristo, Z"
in the Providence Opera House last even
ing and the old-fashioned. romantic play
was received with favor by large au-
dience. Mr. O'Neil has not made any
noticeable change in the play or the
manner OF his Interpretation Of the
Count, made famous in story and drama.
for many years He still insists on the
marring effect of ver-accentuation in
both reading and gesticulation, but he
makes the central figure theatrio and
picturesque. and those things go with
the upper portions Of the house. The
story Is always interesting. because il is
in human nature to admire big enter
priscs, and when the Count declares
that the world is his while standing on a
rock in a tempestuous sea, under ashe
glare Of an overhead stage light, il is
taken for granted that il is. or ought to
be. No one considers the absurdity OF
the position. 1t makes a good picture
and the situation backs up the declara-
ton.
Mr. O'Neill by his elaboration of ges-
ture reminds US of the man who, stand
ing on the fringe of the Atlantic ocean,
tells man from Indianapolis, or some
other inland town, that the vast expanse
of water stretching to the fartbest point
OF vision is the Atlantic ocean, and
pointing to it makes his statement more
binding by declaring "there it is there. "

an answer: We gave IL last fall. We in
sist that want OF confidence was no
cause. IL was our faith that the money
system of this country. and indeed OF the
civilized world had been so manipu-
lated by those who wished TO gather the
wealth OF the world into their private
hands. that prices had fallen year after
year until inevitable bankruptcy and
ruin had come. That process has con-
knued 10 the present moment. Do not
be deceived into the idea that the cur
rency question Is the only one with which
we have TO deal: but until relief comes
upon that score we shall continue to
discuss that question until IT becomes
plain to the people of this country"

Mr.. Williams predicted a greater
change upon the money question by the
Republican party before 1900, and spoke
highly OF President McKinley's appoint
ment OF a bimetallic commission He
also eulosized the late General Walker,
and spoke Of the great iRfuence of the
Bank Of England upon the financial In

PHALEN AND VINCENT.
Counsel For Sausage Maker Make
Strong Pleas to the jury.

Chicago, Oct. 15..The food Of oratory
continues and 1t will last for two days
longer. Attorney Phalen. for Luetgert,
concluded his address, after speaking
two hours. yesterday morning. and then
Attorney Vincent began the closing ad-
dress in behalf Of the defendant. The
tlain point OF his argument was TO raise
In the minds OF the jury a doubt as to
whether Mrs. Luetgert is really dead.
lie admitted that she had disappeared.
but insisted that il had not been shown,
beyond all doubt. that she was dead.
Having spent much time in trying to
create doubt in the minds of the jury.
he insisted that there should be no
half way measures in the verdict. II
Luetgert was guilty of this crime. he
deserved all that the law could mete out
o. him; but If he was not guilty beyond
all doubt he should be set free.
The address Of ex-Judge Vincent,
counsel for the defence, was the lead
iLg feature of the afternoon session.
1t was the most eloquent argument
thus far addrc ssed TO the jury. Cen
tlemen OF the jury, was Mrs. Luetgert
alive on May ?. or is she dead?' began
ex-JLdge Vincent, and he paused a
moment to allow the jurors to revolve
the query in their minds. "Is Luetgcrt
guilty or is he innocont?" continued
the lawyer. Then he went on TO declare
that disappearances are not unusual.
Who dare say with the positiveness
that reaches beyond a reasonable doubt
that Mrs. Luetgert iE-siead?" queried
the speaker, pointing a warning finger
at the jury And IL she is not dead
1netgert is an innocent man. We be-
lieve she st.ll lives. None OF the Bick-
ness family knows today whether Henry
Bickness is dead or alive. He disap-
peared p years ago. He is. or wa.
as the case may he. a brother OF Mrs.
Luetgert." Ex-Judge Vincent next
paid his attention 90 the police depart
ment. He criticised Inspector Shack
severely and said the north side OFF,
