Look out for the lightning rod
swindler. Geo. Okeson, one Of our
neighboring farmers, came near being
bamboozled out of $275 by lightning
rod agents the other day: He was in
dnced to sign a rather ambiguous con-
tract which he understood provided
tor the placing of numerous rods on
his building at cost of only 1915,
this amount being for the labor of put.
ting up the rods. The next day the
men came back to put the rods on the
buildings and were unloading the same
from their wagon when John Ness
happened to arrive on the scene. Ness
was shown the contract, a copy OF
which Mr.. Okeson had, and it didn't
take him long to discover the fraud.
While the rods were to be free, except
So. Is for putting them up, yet there
was a provision in an obscure place
for the payment of a very exorbitant
price for the points. When Mr.. Oke.
son was led to 'see the point, he, with
the aid of Ness, promptly drove the
swind1ers from the place. Farmers
beware Of the lightning rod agent.
When he comes ask no. questions, but
call the dogs.-Sisseton Banner.

The house gives two performances

siEths the seating capacity-an esti-
mate rather under the truth-makes a
very comfortable aggregate TO think
of. At any rate, Mr. Shea will be able
to make good his outlay for fitting up
the house and perhaps have enough
left to live a whole day at the Waldorf
Astoria
The expenses of the Park are skill
fully kept under rerrenchment. The
rent is around $3.50 weekly; the attrac-
lions, of which there are from six to
eight in each set, cost from $50 to 5000.
The biograph makes no secret that its
price is immovably fixed at 5000 week
ly; but equally expensive acts that
visit Worcester are few. The Metro
politan Comedy Four, which made such
u big hit here recently. is one.
Among the brilliant luminaries of the
variety profession who have visited
the Park during the first season of its

Country This Summer,

Crown Prince Eugene, son of King
Oscar II, of the kingdom of Sweden
and Norway, is expected to visit our
shores this summer, and already some
of the more prominent Swedish people
of this city are quietly endeavoring to
gain the consent of the young man to
visit this city before he returns to his
native land.
That ought to be an easy task, as the
young man is to visit this country to
study the workings of the greatest re-
public Of the age. He will have an eX-
cellent opportunity to study the con-
ditions of his former subjects in this
city, and can compare their condition
in life while in the old country, to that
in this country, with the government
of a free republic. 1t was the young
princes intention to travel incognito,
but that is thought improbable by the
Swedish people in this city. If the
young prince should travel incognitO,
he would surely miss much adulation
and ceremony by so doing, but he could
conduct his researches without inter-
ruption.
The young prince will be accompani-
ed on his tour by BJorK, the eminent
Swedish artist, who will endeavor to
gain new material and experience for
his future labors. The Swedish resi-
dents of Chicago are making great
preparations for the reception of their
beloved prince when he arrives in that
city. He will be wined and dined by
the prominent Chicagoans who by their
arrangements already show that moth
| ing will be too good for the prince of
royal blood while in that city. The
| progress of the remainder Of his Am
! erican tour will be repetition of these
| scenes.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-06-04

The Swedish people of Worcester will
not be behind hand in the receiving
of the young prince of their fatheriand.
Already plans are in formulation for
the reception of the representative OF
royalty in this city.
The Swedish people will be assisted
in giving the royal visitor hearty vel
come by the prominent lT@n in pollu-
cal and social life in Worcester. The
city government will be asked to lend
their aid to make the visit a memorable
one to the prince. AS this is the only
time a real live prince of the royal line
has ever visited in Worcester, the city
will be on its good behavior and will
give the prince a warm reception
worthy of the exalted position he
holds in the world.
1t is expected that the prince will
visit this country about the first of
July or whereabouts. If he should hap
pen to come to Worcester on the glo-
rious Fourth he would have an excel
lent chance to study one of the great
American institutions, and see the ire
pressible young American blow his
head off with an Il didn't know it was
loaded" gun. At the present writing
1t is impossible to state that the royal
prince will visit Worcester. The local
Swedish people are on the qui vive
in regard to the proposed visit and will
do all in their power to bring the royal
visitor to this city.
While in this country the prince will
be the guest of Mrs. Potter Palmer of
Chicago and will also visit her pala-
tial residence in Newport, r. I. The
princes itinerary will include trip
across tl& continent passing through
all the principal cities in the country.
Quite a stay will be made in the yell
lowstone Park, where the grand ma
tural beauties of nature of our nation
al garden will be the object of the
princes admiration.

VENTURE LOOKS LIKE SUCCESS.

For the first time since the old
BIgelow garden days, Worcester is to
be treated to summer theatricals. The
prospects are bright that Manager
Wilton's experiment at the Park will
prove a success, novelty and the quail
ity of the attraction beng the two
strongest factors. Rehearsals of the in
itial play, Held by the Enemy" show
the actors to be dead letter perfect
and Stage Director Ely is more than
satisfied with the way his company
takes hold. Fresh scenery has been
painted for each scene, and the new
iced air apparatus will for the first
time, be placed in operation.
Almost every one is acquainted with
William H. Gillette's play, Held By
the Enemy" either by personal obser-
walton or by reputation. To those IN
familiar with it, it need only be said
that the piece is universally acknowl-
edged, not only as the best work of its
gifted author, but as the greatest
drama ever written on the theme of
our civil war. The royalty asked for
it is very high, more than the manage
ment-Would feel justified in paying
were it not that they wish to make the
opening of their enterprise an event
worthy of remembrance.
Marie Cashmere, whose beauty of face
and figure has already attracted wide
attention on the streets and in the
stores of the city, is cast for the lead
ing role of Rachel McCreeTy The part
of her piquant younger sister Susan,
whose luscious southern dialect made
the fortune of its first exponent, Louise
Dillon, will be assumed by Lola Nor

THE THEATRICAL SEAS ON.
Last Night Saw Its Closing, Which Has Been
Great Success.

Saturday night, June 3, marked the
finish of the theatrical season Of '98-'99,
so far as this city is concerned. On that
date its two remaining theatres, 10th
rop's Opera House and the Park Thea
tire, balanced their books for the year,
the Worcester Theatre having COM
pleted its bookkeeping three weeks pre-
Viously.
Since its opening on August %, with
The Electrician" LothrOp's Opera
House has played a season Of Al weeks,
a total of 246 evenings and 12S matinee
performances. The scheme of forenoon
matinees on holidays, adopted in pre-
vious years, was given up, as the
financial return did not compensate for
the strain on the players. The attrac-
lions in their order follow: THE Flee

Mother" "A Hot Old Time" Heart of
the Klondike," "A High Born Lady y

The list includes a number of hither-
to high-priced attractions, and UNI
doubtedly averages above that OF any
previous year at this house. The nov
city surrounding the Park theatre drew
considerably from Lothrop's patronage
for a while, after the opening OF the
FORMER resort, but the wanderers soon
returned to their allegiance, and the
years receipts fell less than 500 be-
hind the record season OF the house:

the banner weeks business of the sea-
son. and "A Ragtime Reception, on
the other hand, bore off the BOBBY
prize. The matinee performance of
''ATcDoodles Flats" on the afternoon
Of Dec. 20. distanced all previous figures
and established a new and almost I'M
approachable record in attendance.
Manager Wilton has not fully decid-
ed upon the policy of Lothrop's for
rext season, 1t is not impossible that

only high grade plays, after the plan
Of the Castle Square company, may be

depend upon the success Of the similar
enterprise which begins Monday at the
