RHODE ISLAND LEGISLATURE.

Message Of Governor Dyer-Recom-
mendation Regarding Militia.
Providence, Jan. 25.-The January
session of the general assembly began
this morning. Governor Elisha Dyer
read his message in the senate. In the
house the governors message was read
and the budget of appropriations,
amounting to s1,0S3,950, was presented
and referred to the judiciary commit
tee.
Governor Dyer in his message recon-
mended an amendment to the general
laws which will provide for boards of
revision whose duties shall be to ad-
just, correct and equalize the valuation
of real estate and personal property
made by the boards of assessors of the
different cities and towns; the establish
ment of a textile school; better high
ways, and the conversion of at least one
of the infantry regiments Of the state
into one Of heavy artillery, organized
according to the United States army
regulations In connection with the
latter recommendation Governor Dyer
said: I'm my opinion the only militia
adapted to this state is one so consti-
tuted and drilled that in case of war it
would be a most important auxiliary to
the, regular army in manning the de-
lenses Of Narragansett Bay"

ENTERTAIN NJ E MIS-.
Hyperion Theatar.

Augustin Days original company
presented George Edwardes' Japanese
musical comedy, 1.-THE Geisha," or IA
Story of Tea House," last night, and
despite the storm there was very large
audience. The piece was presented
here last season, but this time the COM
pany includes the members who made
it such success at Days theater in
New York city. Aside from this fact,
it marked the first appearance in this
city of Miss Virginia Earl as mem
Der of Days company. She will be re-
membered here best as having appear
ed with Hopper in Wang"
The action of the play takes place in
Japan outside of the treaty limits and
admits of beautiful scenery. The story
is straightforward and plausible, and
tells of Lieutenant Fairfax and his love
experiences with the chief Geisha of a
tea house. Miss Nancy Mcintosh as
sumes the principal role, and she met
with flattering reception. Among her
principal musical numbers were her
Duet with Fairfax in the first act and
a very pleasing solo. Miss Virginia
Earle made decided hit and won tt e
hearty applause which she received.
Her comic song and dance entitled
"The Monkey on the Stick" is one of
the best comic songs that has been
heard here this season. After having
sung all the verses she was compelled
to respond and give the dance again.
Mr.. Julius Stiger repeated his former
success and well rendered the part of
Lieutenant Fairfax. Others deserving
of notice were Augustin Cook, Miss Hell
ma Nelson and James P. Powers the
scenery is very pretty and effective,
and the costumes are artistic and pic
turesque.
A special matinee will be given to-
day-prices rs cents, 50 cents, rs cents
| and Stand the entertainment will be
repeated to-night-prices so cents, rs
cents. 81 and $3.50. The piece is one

Mr.. Chidsey was born in East Haven in

came to this city. In that year he en-
tered the employment of the late Select
man Thompson of East Haven, who
was then a groceryman on Grand ave-
nue.. He remained there for three years
and then became a salesman in the late
Henry W. Thompson's grocery store on
State street, where he remained six
years. In 1856 he was employed by G.

of the city, and located at the corner of

and since that time Mr.. Chidsey has

A SUCCESS BEYOND QUESTION.
Mr.. Hugo Gerber and his company of
players will always be welcomed back
to New Haven. They have really cap
tured the town by their performances,
and Manager Gerber has certainly
spared no expense in giving "The Lad
der of Life" now playing at the Grand,
sumptuous setting. The cast has been
fully up to the requirements of their
respective roles and we notice with par
ticular pleasure that lack of ranting
and horse play SO common in plays of
this calibre. They all seemed at home
and natural in their surroundings. Miss
Emily Everett was charming and in her
boys costume and in her action won
the sympathy of the entire house. Lit
tie Fanny Gongalez was as bright and
clipper as a cricket and her songs were
very well received. George Paxton,
Carroll Daily, Fred S. James and Thorn
as Miles made up an excellent company.
They give two more performances to-
day, matinee and night.
