LoTHRoP's OPERA HOUSE
RICHARDS AND CANFIELD.

These jolly comedians are always pop
ular in Worcester. George Richards, in
the opinion of the Spy critic, is the best
impersonator of comic old men in the
farce comedy profession, and the droll
mugging and grotesque antics OF Eu-
gene Garfield are we'll known to all who
ever saw a Hoyt farce.
Whoever saw Richards and Garfield in
"a Midnight Bell cannot but remem-
Der the comic drollery of George Rich
ards as Deacon Tidd, and the side-split-
ting antics of Eugene Garfield as Mar
tin Trip Their triumph in the same
authors "a Temperance Town" is of so
recent a date that it's echoes are fresh
upon the ear. This is their third joint
annual starring tour. This year they
present a roaring musical comedy from
the pen of William Gill, the author of
"Adonis" and "Old Jed Prouty," enti-
tied "My Boys" The plot deals with
the adventures of Silas Plummer and
his three sons, who have married unbe-
known to their father. Silas proposes
marriage to each of the sons wives and
some unusual complications ensue that
are not disentangled until The fall of the
curtain, and which furnish the basis for
the irresistible and ludicrous comedy of
Messrs. Richards and Garfield Mr.
Richards plays Silas and Mr.. Garfield
plays the part of Sam Plummer, one of
the sons.
Besides the stars in the company, is
Sallie Stembler Gin private life Mrs. Eu-
gene Canfield), a talented soprano and
very pretty woman. She introduces
a series of limitations and specialties,
and with Richards and CanfleId, does
a clever operate burlesque, which sell
dom receives less than eight or nine
encores. Among others in the cast are
Marie TART, Florence Earle, George
Ricketts,, George e. Martin, Ida May
Parks and Clara Williams.

ton of Advisor for New City Hail.
To the Editor of the Spy: The father
Of Greater New York, Andrew H. Green,
in letter to his brother, published in
Fridays Spy, after referring to remarks
of Hon. Stephen Salisbury, respecting
awards of court house plans, added: 81
think that in your city nall an outside
architect was brought in as an arbitra-
tor. All this is not complimentary to
your Worcester architects" Had our
former and respected fellow-citiZen
made a little inquiry before criticsing
the official acts of that time, he might
have. discovered that the architects of
Worcester were themselves responsible
for the bringing in of an outside ar
bitrator." 1t appears that on or about
the 10th day Of June, 1895, all the archi-
tects of Worcester, including the Wor-
oester Chapter of Architects, held
meeting that resulted in the appoint
ment of committee to wait on Mayor
Marsh, to suggest the technical details
for the code Of the coming competition;
also, the name of the expert architect
as associate adviser of the board hav-
ing the competition in charge. This
committee from the architects attended
to the duty assigned to them, and sug-
gested the full code, also named MI.
Richard NJ. Hunt of New York as the
man of their choice. In due time Mayor
Marsh appointed Mr.. Hunt to That i'm
portant position, and he accepted the
same After the death Of Mr.. Hunt all
the competing architects unqualifiedly
approved of the appointment of Richard
II. Hunt, also of New York, as the sue
cessor of his father on the board
This being the outlined history of the
matter, as may be easily confirmed,
why should other than the architects of
Worcester receive public criticisms both
misleading and prejudicial if allowed to
stand unnoticed? With due respect for
all concerned, l protest, and remain a
locker on, p.

WILMINGTON, DELAWARE. THURSDAY DECEMBER

three or four other men the wonderful
qualities which they give to Jesus
himself. For instance. We must think
Of the tax-collector Matthew as creating
tho Sermon on the Mount, which the
whole civilized world treasures as con-
tanning the highest moral teaching OF
all the ages. And of the freedman Luke
US making the parat le Of the Good
Samaritan, that epitome Of human ten
derness and self-sacrificing love with
out an equal in literature. Then. what
shall we do about the divine revelation
of 1.-THE fatherhood and heart Of Cod !
contained in the story of the .tProdigal
Son." which more than anything else
has taught the human family to trust
in the forgiving love and infinite com
passion of the Father in Heaven? Did
st. Luke make this parable also in his
attempt to give Jesus o character in
keeping with his own ideas? And
then, too, we must believe that the
apostle John invented that conversa-
tion with the woman of Samaria, in
which we have the sublime declaration
that gives to tho religion of Jesus its
absolute quality, as deep as the needs
of humanity, as boundless as the uni
verse. God is Spirit. and they that
worship, must worship in spirit and in
truth.
1t would seem, therefore, as though
VIC could not escape the conclusion
that Jesus was essentially such man
as Ho is reported in the four gospels.
For such personality could not have
been invented; and the people about
Him, when they attempted to tell the
story of His life, not fully approaching
His ideas or His work, would BIO likely
to detract from His true greatness and
dignity, rather than to add any
thing 10 the beauty and power of His
| character.

THE S. P. Q. Q.
Communicates.

3.
The regular monthly meeting of the
S. p. G. G. was held in the rooms oc.
cupied jointly BY theS. p. G. 6. and the
$. r. G, A. Routine business consist
ing of the presentation Of reports was
transacted. Thereport OF Special Agent
Stout, embracing . list Of 40 cases in
vestigatea during tho month of Noven-
der, was adopted.
Occasionally, some Of these cases
have mere than q passing interest for
tho managers. When this il tho result,
it is because certain facts are particu-
lnrized. The cases thus dealt with are
no longer looked ut as purely imperr
sonal. but mean that such and such an
entity, such and such an individual,
is under consideration, and that all tho
circumstances which led to the inter
vention OF the s. p. G. G. are passed
in review. The ohild's age, his past
record. the influences ut work in his
home and in his behalf, all these and
much more are carefully weighed; the
good OF tho child and the protection OF
society being the chief ends in view.
A case, among the 40 disposed of last
month, was that OF a boy of u years Of
age. who began his youthful depreda-
tions at the age of years, Apparently,
in the BOYS career. there have been
few spasms of virtue and these have
boen intellectual. At present, at IL
years Of ago, he. has Just made his
escape from % Catholic Protectorate in
which he had boon placed By tho agent
OF the S. P.C, G.
So far, he has successfully eluded
detection and there can be no doubt,
in the mind Of my one. but that such
boy should be carefully safeguardcd.
The question arisos "Whose bust
ness Is it to rescue this boy from life
Of nimlessness, ifnot. of actual crime?"
The s. p. q. q. considers it, pre-
emipontly. its business to take the first
step in this objection and holds to il
that no greater cruelty can be inflicted
upon u child THAI TO permit him TO in
dulge, unrestrained, in crime.
Emnhatically, the s. p. g. G. is in
limo with uther State and county insti-
tutious that owe their origin ta the
social conditions which find some chill
dren poor, some ILL used and somo with
pronounced criminal tendencies. The
State will only do its full duty toward
these unfortunate ones, whom they are
adequately provided for and when the
g. =. q. c., tho authorized agent oi
the State, is enabled TO do its work
with efficacy. sat9,
