OLYMPIC Theatre.

Murray and Mack, truly called those
funny men," supported by a company Of
clever people, are at the Olympic The
atre this week. and yesterday after
noon and evening presented "Finni-
gan's 400," which is neither more or less
than a vehlvcle for the purpose of af-
fordnig the two favorite COM
edians an opportunity for intro
ducing their eccentricities, and for
producing fun generally. There is no
plot and none is needed. and while, per-
haps little of the horse play and
rough and tumble business might be
eliminated 10 advantage, the perform
ance contains very much that appeals
to popular favor
OF course. the bulk of the laughter
is produced by Murray and Mack, and
il is hard to decide which is the most
amusing. Murray as Connor Casey,
and Mack as Timothy Finnigan. lead
er of the 400. do a little OF everything
and do il i'm a manner that just causes
spasms of laughter. Charles Barry, as
Dusty Rhodes, makes an ideal tramp
and he contributes very largely to the
success of the performance, and his
dancing is particularly good. John
Fields, Jr.. as Danny Casey is good
singer and clever dancer and, as the
program says. he is always in the
push" and helps TO increase the fun
during the three acts.
Miss Bonnie Bonita Loring is a very
pleasing soubrette, her voice being very
pleasant and her movements full os
grace, while Hulda Halves, as Leonora
Casey, just keeps things humming.
Lonnle Deane appears in a dance which
is very attractive. in which she wears
a very attractive costume. A number
OF sprightly damsels make up the CHOIR
us and aid the principles in presenting
a number Of favorite songs, pretty
dances and fascinating cake walks. and
then there are specialties by Murray
and Mack, Miss Loring, Miss Deane,
John Fields. Charles Barry. burlesque

one of the things in which the au-
dience took the most pleasure was the
marvellous Hindoo clock which moved
as MIR. Kellar did his arms, answered
questions and never failed to answer
them right The attendants at the the
alter asked many questions. There was
an interesting expose of the tricks OF
alleged MEDIUMS. The Sfmufa sEance.
in which some of the most famous of
Hindoo manifestations, was very inter-
esting.
Tricks that have been represented as
the same as the notable ones that for
years have puzzled travellers in India
are given. These tricks at any rate are
interesting and there is the usual dis
tribution of roses and oranges. one
OF the things that made many OF those

plause.

welcomed by a good sized audience at
the Providence opera house last even

ever with his work and the old as well
as the new features OF IL were gener-

the tricks were marvellous and created
much enthusiasm.

Thoroughly up-to-date were first given.

Plymouth, and ran over into Kingston,
where il burned around the south and
east sides of Smith pond and along Smelt
brook. Around the lake the summer
cottages were saved by hand labor.
Around the headquarters of Smith

timber in this part OF the state. and the
region between the pond and Muddy
pond was covered with a heavy growth
Of oak, and a portion OF il was overrun
by fire a year ago. Considerable cut
wood was also burned. and the loss on
pine timber and pitch pine and standing
oak will be heavy. The woods are very

GERMAN PRESS EXCITED.

Berlin. April 25.-The Lokal Anzieger,
in somewhat violent denunciation Of
Captain Coghlan. says: He comes of
Irish American lineage. which, notori-
ously, produces the roughs. both high
and low. OF the American classes.
The Boersen- Courier thinks il strange
the Americans recommence TO seek a
quarrel with Germany. instead of first
conQuering the Filipinos. who promise
10 give them enough work for some
time"
The Vossisch Zeitung says: Captain
Coghlan belongs 10 the class of Ameri-
can officers who have swelled heads in
consequence of their easy victory over
Spain
In official circles the Coghlan incident
Is regarded mildly, as an expression of
wine humor.

OF the said confagration was due TO ac

due TO lack OF proper and usual facilities
for eXtinguishing fires. We also find
that within three minutes from the time
OF the alarm of fire was received in
this instance by the fire department. the
