aTHE BLACK CROOK"
The Familiar Spectacle Draws a Tremen
dous Crowd at Popular Prices

The announcement that the alluring
"Black Crook" would be presented at a
so cent scale of admission was sufficient to
pack the Worcester Theatre Tuesday
night with an audience that for numbers
has hardly been excelled this season. The
auditorium was a mass of congested hui
mainly, who laughed and applauded while
the old alegory of the struggle OF the
hunchback wizard and his demon master
with the spirit of light for human soul
was being enacted for the many thou
sandth time, with the usual accompani-
ment Of ballet, fairies, clowns and aero
bats The familiar characters were all
warmly greeted, and those who attended
got their full moneys worth of entertain
ment.
The speciality olio includes a number of
clever acts, and takes up about half the
evening. The most striking numbers were
an ingenious and difficult acrobatic act by
Charles Ascot, after the ''sience and fun"
order; a song and dance by two soubrets,
clad in attractive, though somewhat sug-
gestive costumes; illustrated songs by
Mason and Carrick and a strong musical
turn by Silver and Sparks. Ballet diver
tisements, Amazon marches, special seem
cry and other accessories are included in
the production.
1.-The Black Crook" will be repeated to-
night at the same scale of prices, and this
afternoon a matinee is booked, at which
the 10, 20 and 30 cent rate of admission will
be asked

THE ALIEN CLUES FIRST.
Something About Miss Olive Mead, the
Young Viohnist.

The Allen Club held rehearsal in
Board of Trade Hall last night, prepar-
atory to the first concert of the season
series, which is to be given tomorrow
evening in horticultural Hall. The
club has made distinct progress since
last season, and it's performance of the
well selected program will surely give
pleasure. The club has labored zeal
ously and it is certain to reflect credit
upon the intelligent direction of Mr..
Truette, the new conductor.
The soloists tomorrow evening will be
Miss Olive Mead, a young American vio-
hnist of rare promise and attainments,
and Miss Jessie Mabel Downer of Bos-
ton, pupil of B. J. Lang. Miss Mead
has played with the Damrosch urc1es-
ira, the Boylston and Cecilia clubs Gf
Boston and similar organizations, be-
sides being engaged at two music festi-
walls. She will play with the Boston
Symphony Orchestra next week. Miss
Mead is a pupil and protege of Franz
Kneisel, but she has studied abroad,
also. The columns of laudatory press
notices Of her playing can hardly be re-
produced here, but this is what the Bos-
ton transcripts fastidious critic said Of
her:
MISS mead makes the lHIleuldte I'M
preston of being a natural violinist, adj
mirably taught and trained She has
an excellent left hand and, what is
rarer in young players, firm bow-arm
and wrist. Her bow is very nearly as
strong at the tip as at the heel. Her
tone is firm, warm and large. She
played the Bach chaconne; indeed, her
playing of this great set Of variations
(without accompaniment was very fine
indeed, from any point Of view"
The associate membership list would
be an excellent sponsor for the club, if
such endorsement were unsteady need
ed. Something more than this is need
ed, however, and that is the support of
the public The Allen Club is doing
good work 1t should be encouraged
with a good-sized audience Thursday
night. Tickets may be had at Stein

INSURANCE COMPANIES MEET.
Local Life and Fire Companies Elect
officers and Report Good Business.

The annual meeting of the State
Mutual Life Assurance Company was
held at the company's office in the State
Mutual building, Tuesday morning. The
fifty-second annual financial statement
was presented, and showed the company
to be in very sound condition
During the year there was am increase
of d,192, 081.92, and the total assets now
amount to $1S, 455, 663.22. The directors
report speaks Of the new building as
follows:
The new building in Worcester was
completed in the spring of 1897. A large
number Of the offices had been engaged
long before its completion and many Of
them were occupied before the company
moved its force into the space prepared
Tor 1t. The investment has developed
into paying one sooner than we antici-
pated. We believed that it would prove
so in year or so, but we did not ex-
pect that its success would appear as
soon as it has. There is but little space
left unoccupied. After deducting all
expenses the building now produces a
net rental quite as large as would be
secured from an investment of the same
amount of money in high grade munich
pal bonds such as we have bought many
of during the past year. It provides for
the company adequate and convenient
space for its business and absolute safe
ty for its books, records and securities. -
The choice of directors resulted in the
reelection of George F, Hoar, Stephen
Salisbury, Josiah Fl. Clarke and Hosea M
Quinby. Their term expires in 1902 Geo
f. Blake, Jr., was elected to the direc.
torate to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Judge Thomas L. Nelson.
After the meeting of the company, the
board Of directors met for organization
and reelected the old board of officer.
