and artist are making something OF a
sacrifice to this perfectly laudable OBJ
Ject. There ought 10 be available plenty
OF historical romances OF rather more
cheerful kind.
Mr. Goodwin as usual surrounds him
self with a first-rate company and the
piece is produced with great spirit.
Miss Elliott makes a charming heroine
and the cast throughout furnishes
thoroughly finished setting for the star
The scenery is rich, abundant and
doubtless historically faithful, while
the costumes contribute greatly to
make several very brilliant tableaux.
This evening Mr.. Goodwin will pre-
sent his new comedy, "The Cowboy and
the Lady" which has met with great
favor I'm the few places where IL has
been performed and, IL is said. fur
nishes the star opportunity for char
acterization that mingles pathos and
humor, in the portrayal OF which Mr
Goodwin's success is always most pro-
nounced. The new play will be the bill
also for Wednesday matinee. Nathan
Hale" closes the all too brief engage
ment tomorrow evening.

the Providence Opera House last even
ing TO an audience that was of course
large and representative of the best
dramatic taste of the city, the kind or
an audience that Mr.. Goodwin inevit-
ably plays to. Nathan Hale" offers
TO Mr.. Goodwin the opportunity Tor dis-
play of the talent which he possesses
in large measure and which he has
been a good many years trying to coax
his audiences into accepting from him,
the melodramatic, that is only one re-
moved from the tragic. But just be-
cause the eminent comedian can do IL
so well doesn't mean that his audiences
pre- fer it, they would have their cholce.
1T appears, however, 10 be case or
taking Goodwin in the, kind or role
he Is ambitious to play or not having
him at all and audiences, accordingly,
bow 10 the decree OF an artist who
commands attention TO whatever work
he may essay.
Nathan Hale" opens with a merry
school-room and winds UP with hang
mans moose suspended from what is
probably the most plausible apple tree
that ever graced a stage. Historical ac-
curacy TO the pathetic story of the
noble Yankee boy demands a finish that
is alike gruesome and painful, only
partly relieved by the last ringing
words of the patriot of regret that he
had but one life TO give for his coun-
try. For the rest, the play is story
of love and intrigue quite on approved
melodramatic' lines cleverly enough
manufactured by MIR. Clyde Fitch with
as much of the comedy element in IL as
the circumstances will permit. Per-
haps we should be grateful to Mr.
Fitch and Mr.. Goodwin for.demonstrat-
ing on the stage the career OF patriot
than whose memory none can be more
dear to the American heart. But IL is
difficult not TO feel that both audiences

GOOD sEASONINGe.
Items of Useful Information Con- cerninG the Preparation of
 Table Dnfnties.

When boiling ham, put in cup ot black molasses, one onion, few cloves and pepper corns, adding a bunch of hay; it seasons finely. Let the ham cool in the water in which it was boiled, skin, rub with brown sugar, and brown in a slow oven for an hour basting every 15 minutes with some ot the stock in which it was cooked. Epi- cures like the last basting of sherry When boiling chickens for salad or pressed loaf, put in quarter of a pound of good salt pork--it is an excellent seasoning. Shred the chicken from the bones, press into mold and pour the water (which has largely boiled away) over it, and it will form a delicious jelly all through the bits of meat.
 Put sugar in the water used for bast- ing meats of all kinds; it gives a good flavor, to veal more especially.
 To give fine flavor to eorned beef hash, use good stock for moistening, with pinch of salt, sugar and cay, enne.
 Three tablespoonfuls of freshly made Japan tea, with bit of nutmeg, gives an indispensable flavor to an apple pie.
 Boston baked beans can be greatly improved by adding a eupful of sweet cream the last hour of baking.
 When making tomato soup add a raw cucumber sliced fine, boil soft and strain with tomato. It gives a very pleasant seasoning.
 Add cupful of good cider vinegar to the water in which you boil fish, es' pecially salt water fish.
 Make snow cake with arrow root flour, the flavor is delicious.
 Small pickles, olives and capers minced very fine are an excellent sea, soning for a salad dressing.
 A fine seasoning for chicken salad is to slice an onion on the top of the pre- pared chicken and let it marinate two hours or more, adding, at the same time. few drops of prepared ehervil. Be sure that every particle of the onion is taken from the chicken before adding the dressing.-st. Louis Republic.

of money in San Francisco for going out of his class to fight, said that all the fighters were at the mercy of the men with money who promoted contests in the big cities. Flights are only sue cessful financially in the cities,' he con tinued, and it matters little to the fighters themselves who makes a large amount of money if they get generous ly rewarded for their ring work. The bottom has dropped out of the game for big purses for the men in the light weight division and other classes below that mark, but the healthy condition of the sport in the cities that permit six round bouts or even 20-round contests assures the boxers of fair remunera- ton. I would like to be a member of the fight promoters trust myself.''
 Champion Jim Jeffries has had little experience with the trusts. He feels grateful to the men who made it pos sible for him to take the title from his tall kangaroo rival at Coney Island, and admits that politics was a great factor in paving the way for big prize fight. It will be recalled that just before the big battle the police were aggressive, and through the chief officer threatened to stop the ies-Fitzsimmons fight. One of those potent factors in New York life, the editor of a powerful newspaper. assisted the fight promoters in their work by stating in his editorial columns that he was on to the game" While he did not sanction the fight, he said that if it was legal for one set of poli- ticians to bring off great battles in an athletic club fl one part of the city, it was equally legal for the Coney Island promoters to have a fight. The spirit of backing the under dog was so well received that the epoliticalmarplots were thrown into confusion and the fight proceeded without a hitch.
 Joe Choynslli, the popular fighter, is the best example among the we'll known pugilists of the money earner in public exhibitions given by the pro- motors, commonly called the trust men. He admits that he is in the business only for the money that he can earn. Pugilistic honor and fame are tarpished baubles to him. And the men who are powerful enough to keep alive busi- ness against which the reformers of the various communities are continual ly charging" says Choynski, "do great favor for the pugilists. Of course they make money, but without them the pugilists would gain but little"
 No capital stock for these various pugilistic trusts is listed in any stock exchange, yet the ticker of public sen timent responds with quotations that delight the hearts of many men who use their skill, muscle and strength to dash six-ounce gloves into the faces and bodies of their rivals.

A successful heavyweight could make as much in one fight as a champion ban tam could in several worlds champion ship battles. That being the case, it is difficult to see why there should be any particular condemnation of the men who are fortunate enough to con trol the boxing game in large cities. They make money, and distribute a lot of it. The fighter who is taken up by these promoters gets about as near a salaried position as it is possible"
 To ascertain the feeling of the va rious pugilists of considerable reputa- ton, concerning the modern feature of pugilistie trusts. I took pains to query them. Former Champion Jim Corbett, who has a gold mine in his buffet in New York, replied:
 Anything that keeps boxing going is of great benefit to the men who fol low the profession. Some one has to promote the sport, and speak from ex- perience when l say that there is a world of trouble in preparing the way for fight Look at the Carson event, which was so disastrous to me. The moving of one of the Sierras would have been but a little harder task than was the work of the promoters to legalize the championship battle. Politics and pugilism are certainly great allies. The fighters in the classes below the heavyweight division owe a great deal to the promoters of contests in the large cities. Without the friendly of fees of the latter there would be no fights. Without public exhibitions there would be lack of money among the pugilists."
 Terry McGoyern. the Brooklyn lad who has come to the front as one of the cleverest and most powerful hitters ot the little men division, says frankly that the promoters of boxing in New York and Brooklyn gave him the op- portunities he needed to make money and fame, and he profted thereby.
