No one who has never climbed into

is being played knows what n treat 1t
is to watch the negroes. At the
Grand Opera house Christmas night
Lewis Morrison and his company pre-

When the curtain rose for the first
act the gallery was a sweltering mass
of humanity, so close We're its occu-
pants packed. A portion of the upper
gallery, where % cents admission is
charged, is reserved for white people.
This portion of the gallery was well
filed, but that part assigned to the
negroes was literally packed. When
Faust comes to Memphis negroes at

than they do any other play.
The first appearance of Mephisto on

mild degree in that portion of the thea

black faces that looked down
upon the stage. The Won

Washington, Jan. Auditor Castle
Of the postofllce department has dis
covered Irregularities in money orders
accounts which possibly may result in
loss to the government of n consd-
cradle sum. About three years ago,
tho practice of checking money order
accounts In the office of the auditor
was changed, they being audited by
stubs or coupons, and not by the orders
themselves, as had been done pre-
viousy. If the postmaster's returns
corresponded in each item with the
coupon or stub, the account was as
sumed to be correct and was closed.
checked by the issuing postmasters'
| returns. but was only used as n vouch-
er for the paying postmaster.
When Auditor Castle took charge of
the office. he discovered deficits in the
system which made 1t possible for dis
honest postmasters to rob the govern
ment, and ascertained that there were
| rine possible ways in which this could
| be done. He then put in operation a
new system which he believes will COW
er all defects.
One of the most important of the
| changes decided upon was the abolish
ment of the coupon entirely and the
| checking of both sides of the account
| by the money order itself. Several
cases have already been detected in
| which orders were issued for as high
| as $50 and 800 and We're reported by
| the issuing postmaster at one or two
| dollars each.
How many of the frauds We're perpe-
| trated during the three years in which
| the old system was in operation can
| only be guessed at. An examination
of the 100,000000 orders issued during
| that time could be made, the auditor
| believes, by 100 men in year, and IL
the rate of the fraudulent orders just
discovered continues,h thinks it might
| be well to do this. How much tn
| government has lost will not be deter
mined unless such an examination Is
made,

The new Providence Opera House was
lighted up for the first time last even

gave view of his theatre to the dra-
matte staff and newspaper men gen.
orally of Providence, Pawtucket and
vicinity. The occasion later developed
into an informal reception on the stage,
wherein a table loaded with appetizing
and appetite satisfying things figured
conspicuously and contributed to round
out the evening with great, good feel
ing and abundant good wishes for the
success of the young manager, who has
begun his career with display OF re-
markable enterprise that is bound to
meet with a cordial public recognition.
The revolution that has been created
in the theatre since June Ia last is so
thorough. not to say startling. that the
theatre may well be called the new
Providence Opera House, and begins at
the entrance-indeed, at the curbstone
fronting the entrance. For from the
street the view of the new lobby is a
bewitching sight. and more than a hint
OF the beauties beyond and within the
broad doorway. Indeed. upon reaching
the lobby, IL is difficult TO recall how
