SCHOOL INVESTIGATION.
Committee Tha. Has Made II Expected 10 Report
10 Cir Council In Near Future.

The committee appointed by Major
Baker TO investigate the public school
system has held meetings about every
week since its inception. and it is gem
orally expected that report will be
made either to the mayor or city coun-
ell in the near future, although great
deal that has been outlined as the basis
OF this report is, of curse, based on
guesswork. as the meetings of the COM
mittee have all been private.
Rumor has il that the report will rec
ommend that some part of the high
school system must go, and there have
been variety of reports, all OF them
false, perhaps, To the effect that the
Classical high school was doomed, or
that the commercial department OF the
high schools was a superhuity in the
minds OF the committee. or that the
evening high school was a usless eX-
pense. Those who have given the mat
ter serious thought do not believe that
the committee will recommend that the
city recede from the educational stan
dards that IL has already set up, or that
IL haul down what's already cstab-
lshed In fact part of the duty OF the
committee has been To learn what the
citizens desire 10 have done with the
schools. and ever since It was appointed
- iiAi' AhoA ~ HN'ii''N '''e., w - .''s'
the committee against the individual
features OF the school system that radi-
cal measures are hardly expected TO be
recommended.
AS matters now stand, IL remains TO
be seen what wil be done in the High
school question. The friends OF High
school education will not admit for a
minute that there IL any possibility
that the city OF Providence will give
up it's high schools, and they viii point
TO the public colleges OF the West as
n rebuke 60 the economy they designate
as false economy. which would remove
even that which Is below the college.
Nevertheless, there are many prominent
citizens who within year heve talked
against the high schools and it is prob
able that the committee VIII seek more
light upon that subject from the public
II the public Is willing 90 give it.

SERVICE FOR MEN.


The Mems club Of Calvary Baptist
church held a special service for men at
o'clock yesterday afternoon. the
meeting. which was well attended, be-
ing led by the president OF the club,
w. #. Allen. The services consisted of
song, reading of Scripture by DIR. Hib-
bard; prayer by superintendent Il. w.
Waterman; solo by DIR. Sprague, and
sermon by Rev. +. B. Pullan. pastor OF
the Pilgrim Congregational church.
Mr.. Pullan said i'm substance: The
real follower OF Jesus IL honored by the
familiarity and friendship Of Christ as
we are honored by the attention of
those about us. The honor OF serving
Christ is the honor of friendship with
God. God lionors all who serve Christ
by giving them opportunities for serv-
ice. Christ said. My Father worketh
hitherto and / work We further hon
or those who have been of service to
their fellows by giving them a greater
opportunity for work" The speaker
then illustrated the thought OF losing
self for the Masters sake by means OF
a handful of wheat. The last thought
given was that God honors those who
serve Christ by giving them great re-
sponsibilty, christians" he said.

edge. They are the salt or keeping

ERRORS OF MODMOGlSM.
Pointed 0ui BY EldN Joseph lufi in Address In
Chapel Of Recognized Church Of Jesus Christ

Elder Jos. Luff spoke at the chapel of
the Reorganized Church OF Jesus Christ
OF Latter Day Saints on Bellevue av-
enue. on "Polygamy and other Errors
OF Utah Mormonism." There was one
representative OF the Utah church pres
ent. and several Mormon elders. Mr..
Luff spoke very clearly on the subject.
He referred 90 the claims OF the Re-
organized Church OF Jesus Christ and
Latter Day Saints. Then the history
OF this church was given from the time
OF the death OF Joseph Smith. when
there were several leaders who claimed
the presidency. but these men, notably
Brigham Young, were never ordained
according 90 the revelations. others re-
fused 10 go under President Young's
leadership. Among this number there
was one body from this scattering that
received divine guidance and founded
the Reorganized church. But the great
majority OF people know the believers
OF the book of Mormon IA one and class
them all as MorMons AS Co the intro
duction OF the doctrine OF polygamy In
TO the Utah church, he said that Ii was
not "a revelation.
IL was not given 90 the church by
Joseph Smith. but was promulgated by
Brigham Young six years after Joseph
Smith had died. Elder Luf stated that
there was not line In the Book Of
Mormon iu favor OF polgomy. and he
read passages which ne claimed were
stronger than any statement in the
Bible in favor OF one wife.

PRICES ARE HIGH.
Fruits and Vegetables Unusually

Continued Frosts In The South the Cause Of
The Killing Of Prices.

Those who like luxuries in the way Of

do not appear willing TO lose their grip.
The continuance OF the frosts has seri-
ously interfered with the shipments TO

prices, i'm some instances lifting them

Strawberries are quoted at 90 ana %
cents a box, with the accent on the box,
particularly its dim.nutiye size. Rad
ishes are cheap and plentiful, because
local hot houses are furnishing them.
The ruling price is cents a bunch.
Good lettuce retails at II cents head
and from that sum TO cents for small
heads. Water cress, excellent in foliage,
sells at 10c. a bunch. Cucumbers have

Spring chickens are coming in in fine

Soft shell crabs are due but have not

A new THEATRE.
Arrangements Made For ihs Construction Of One
al cornar Of Westminster an! EurriIl Streets.

The much discussed new theatre for
this city has at last been definitely de-
cided upon. and arrangements have
been completed for it's erection at the
corner OF Westminster and Burrill
streets, and the work will be pushed
along SO that the new place OF amuse-
ment will be ready to be opened next
fall, and. according TO the plans made,
il will be one OF the handsomest the
atres in New England. The land
bounded by Westminster. Burrill and
Chapel streets has been leased for a
term of 40 years to the New England
Amusement company, who will control
the theatre.
The company is composed of A. A.
Sptz, president; Max Nathanson, sec
retary, and, William G. Chase, treas
urer, and was Incorporated about six
months ago. for the purpose, as the
charter states, OF buying, leasing, and
holding theatres, and forming and man.
aging theatrical companies, and in gen.
eral carrying on theatrical business.
The present officers were not named in
the list of incorporators although they
form practically the company "A. A.
Sptz, now manager OF the olympic the
atre, is the head of the company, with
Max Nathanson. who is now associated
with him in the Olympic. Treasurer
Chase is also, treasurer of the present
vaudeville house. All these gentlemen
are experienced in theatrical matters,
and this will go very far TO insure the
success OF the new venture, and the
opening of the new house will be await
ed with a great deal of interest
No time will be lost In removing the
buildings which now occupy the land,
and the new theatre will be erected
by Michael II. Downey, the real estate
broker, and NJ. j. Houlihan, the con-
tractor, and the plans are now being
prepared. The frontage on Westminster
street will be about 80 feet, and the
main entrance will be located there,
with large foyer and all the conveni-
ences and beauties of a modern theatre.
There will be another entrance on Bur-
rIll street, for the upper sections Of the
house and this will also be elaborate,
although lacking, perhaps. some OF the
beauties OF the main entrance. The
rear. on Chapel street. viii have the
stage, enabling the scenery and proper
ties TO be easily taken I'm and out. The
fronts on Westminster and Burrill
streets will be elaborate and handsome.
and :he interior will modelled after
the best results in the most successful
playhouses OF the country. The seating
caDacity will be about 1900.
The new theatre will be devoted
mainly TO combinations. and IL is gen
orally conceded that such n theatre is
needed In Providence. particularly since
the other houses. with one exception,
are all devoted to vaudeville. Ii Will
be what is known as "a popular price
house although the quality OF the at
fractions viii not be In proportion TO
the prices charged. Good vaudeville
Will be occasionally given. it is under
stood. but the house will be devoted In
the main to melodrama and standard
and new plays The erection OF the
new theatre will not affect the Olympic
theatre. and Manager Spite viii have
the management OF both houses.
