PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.
Louis Mann and Can LIpman Appear In the
Musical Comedy. "Ihs Telephone Girl"

Mrs. Puffaway. Miss III. Harrington
Many infinitely better entertainments
have come and gone without receiving
"A fraction OF the applause that was be-
slowed on 1.-THE Telephone Girr by IA
very large first-night audience at the
Providence Opera House last evening.
Indeed. the warmth of the reception ac-
corded the piece was something OF n
surprise. i'm view of its tawdry and
commonplace character. OF musical
comedies there has been a plenty dur
ing the present season, but from the
entire list IL would be difficult to- select
one OF lesser merit than that offered
last evening. Such story as there IS Is
of the flimsiest sort and is far from in
teresting either in treatment or deve-
lopment. Then. too. there is nothing
novel or even entertaining In the con
quests by "A music hail singer OF the silly
and senile or the callow and caddish,
which form a good part OF the ground
work OF THE Telephone Girl" Many
OF the shortcomings of the piece might
be forgiven and forgotten were the dla-
logue reasonably bright; but il is not,
save IN Spots anu tnDSe Spots are lew
in number and widely separated. The
music has a pleasing swing but il con-
stitutes but a small part of the enter
tainment. The scene showing the i'm
terror OF a central telephone office was
very effective, as was the salon OF
Beauty Fairfax. There were some
pretty costumes. and graceful dances,
which with a negro song gave consid-
erable pleasure.
Mr.. Mann. AZ might be expected, has
the principal comic character, and de-
velopes il into a very amusing one. He
is a monkeyshner whose antics are
rather broad and whose make up is
grotesque. His wrestle with the tele-
phone was as droll as his tussle with
the English language; but his simula-
tion of tlpsyness while very clever was
too long drawn out and too insistent to
be wholly pleasing. Miss Lipman shared
with Mr.. Mann the honors Of chief en-
tertainer. She is certainly a clever
comedienne who gives pith and point
20 what she says and does and that. too,
i'm way that s charmingly uncon-
scious and natural Mr. MacDon-
aids renderingo of the telephone girl song
was excellent. MIR. Terriss is a good
actor. but he should never attempt to
sing because he cannot do It. 'The
Telephone Girl" will be repeated this
and tomorrow evenings and at tomor-
rows matinee.

A MORAL TRIBE.
Among the Caribs of Central America
; All Sins Are Punished by
Starvation.

In the whole wide world there is not
IL class of people to be found who in
'ilict severer punishment upon them
selves than the Caribs of Central Amer
lea. Their religion, which is one Of
the most peculiar kind, demands self
punishment for sins Intentionally or
unin,entionally committed, says Pear
sons Weekly. ....
The punishment takes the form of
starvation and close confinement.
If the sin be in the form of Il lie, no
matter whether it is calculated to in
jure another or not, the sinner goes
without either food or drink for three
days, at the end of which it is be-
lievcd that the offender has paid the
penalty for his or her sin. ..l...,.....
Blaspheming and using bad language
is punishable by absolute starvation for
two days. Assault, drunkenness and
other serious sins call for four days'
starvation for one week, three days'
starvation for the second week, and
two days starvation for the third week.
and one days starvation in the fourth
week.
All sins are punished with starvation.
For that reason crime is very low
among the Caribs, who are among the
best behaved and most truthful people
in the world. .....-.

For Your Good Wife.

An enarnelled cast iron sink, with a
cistern pump attached will be found to
be one of the greatest conveniences
which you can put in for your wife if
she does not already have it. Aproperly
fixed waste pipe should be attached.
And while you are at it provide her a
good knife for bread knife and you
see to it that it is kept ground thin and
sharp. Then if you can secure sum-
mer supply of ice, you get her refriger-
ator which she can set in the kitchen or
dining room and save her the labor of
climbing up and down the cellar stairs
in hot weather. Then get her blue
flame kerosene oil stove and just see her
smile. Two acres of oats will fit her out
with all these things and she has a just
claim on this much of the crop in this
prosperous year.

Hedge Fences.

The hedge fence is going out Of date
all over the west. 1t never has been a
success for the reason that we have no
shrub or tree which is we'll adapted for
this purpose. The Usage orange is not
hardy; the barberry is failure on a
large scale; the conifers look well but
are no protection against stock. Even
ii we had some tree which would make
good hedge. but very few men will give
the care and time needed to keep the
hedge in proper repair. The cheapness
OF steel wire and the great variety Of
forms into which it is being put for fenc-
ing purposes, has practically solved the
fencing problem for the northwest and
it is useless to advocate the hedge fence
in any form whatever. The various
types Of woven wire fences are rapidly
superceding the old barbarous barbed-
wire fence and in short time on all
farms will displace it en-
,irely.

Uniformity of Color.

Color counts for something in herd
OF stock, a flock of chickens or in a.team
OF horses. While we do not claim that
it affects the value of the individual
animal, a ring streaked and speckled lot
of hens or steers probably being just as
profitable to lay eggs or lay on beef as
though they were all of one color and
kind, still,when one comes place such
stock on the market there is always
a nice little premium to be had for the
like colored animals. A carload Of
Polled Angus steers, well finished, will
always outsell carload of equally well
finished and all colored shorthorns. A
lot of chickens all of one breed and
color will always command better price
than lot of mixed breeds. There is
further in the matter of caring for such
things an added pleasure in having this
uniformity of breed and color.

Summer Roses.

We do not mean the roses which
bloom in June and then lay off, but the
roses which bloom all summer long and
delight you with their beauty and frag-
rance-the Tea Roses. These roses are
very tender and will not winter out of
doors in our northwest latitude, no mat
ter how well protected. For the first
time we have this year grown these
roses and have been greatly pleased with
the result. We shall try wintering
these plants by taking them up in the
fall, cutting them back and pntting the
roots in box of earth in a cool cellar
we'll lighted, the idea being to keep
them alive and just let them rest. The
varieties grown and which have been
blooming all summer and will until cold
weather, are Catherine Mermet, Cloth
ilde Scupert, Duchess of Albany, Kais-
erin Augusta Victoria, Papa Gontier,
La France, President Carnot, Perle de
Jardin, Meteor and many others. They
h ave been planted in well enriched soil,
have been partially shaded from the
afternooc sun and have been we'll
watercd and syringed with the garden
hose. This Is all the care they have
had, save to cut each day the beautiful
blossoms.

The Vermont Farmer and the Western
Cornfield.

The thing about northwestern farm
ing which most greatly impressed our
old farmer friend from Vermont upon
the occasion of his first visit west was
the wasted fodder in our cornfields He
could not be made to understand that
farmer could ever pay his store bills
and permit such waste on his farm.
OF course it looks just that way to the
eastern farmer who calls a five acre
patch of corn big field and who hoes
and Trims out every hill by hand. Our
friend insisted that we left the best half
OF the corn crop in the field ungathered
and practically unused. He was withal
sustained in this view of the case by the
results of the analysis made by govern
ment experts, who prove up that 55 per
cent Of the value of the crop of corn is
contained in the stalk and leaves.
When we tried to tell our old friend that
we had plenty Of men who had eighty
acre fields OF corn which they tended
themselves with a little help in blowing
and husking time, he only scratched his
old gray head and looked more bewild-
cred than ever. And when we told him
that the fodder of eighty acres Of corn
would feed as many head of stock as 100
tons Of hay and that if we saved it all
we would not know what to do with it,
he snapped out "you fellows have got
altogether too large farms out here"

He Was His Own Banker.

He had no faith in banks and was
dead agin corporations and all forms OF
monopolies, and SO after feeding his
steers and hogs for most year and get
ting $1,000 in good gold coin for them
he allowed he'd take care of his money
himself, and so he went out after dark
and buried it in the earth like unto the
man who had the one talent. No bank
could bust with his money in it's tills,
he said; but sad to relate, when he
wanted to check on his private bank to
pay his taxes, his bank was broke and
he just had hole in the ground to show
for his steers and his hogs. and then it
was that like Job Of old he simply refus-
ed to be comforted and just lifted up his
voice and howled.

Farm Psts.

We are not much in love with farm
pets. The trouble is that sooner or later
these pets bave to be disposed of-the
pet horse, the pet COW, the pet lamb
and then there is trouble in the camp
Not every one is so situated that they
can furnish stable room and food for the
old horse, for instance, which by reason
OF age has become entirely worthless.
We have known repeated instances
where the disposal of the family pets
has made trouble in the home which it
took long time to smooth over. OF
course, there is something very pleasing
about the sentimental phase of the mat
ter, especially where there are children,
but the dissgreeable side crops out when
such pets have to be disposed of.
