teeuth Street.

The Frazer Manufacturing Company,
of Thirteenth and Henderson streets, re-
Gently complained to the Police Board
of some persons who dump wood shaw
ings in a vacant lot near their factory.
The latter stated that the boys come
along and set fire to the shavings, great
ly endangering adjacent property.
Mayor Hoos this morning received a
letter from David B. Frazer, the head Of
the firm, calling attention to the fact
that the Police Board had apparently
taken no notice of the communication, as
the nuisance had not been abated. Mr..
Frazer asked the Mayor to use his inffu-
ence to have the nuisance complained Of
abated.

Keith's New Theatre.

The coming weeks entertainments at
Keith's new theater, can hardly
fail to secure an emphatic sue
cess. II opinion may be form
ed from the earlier engagement OF Mill
ton and Dolly Mobiles at this house.
Doubtless. their promised return has
been awaited eagerly by many who
laughed at their admirable comedy
work last fall, and It is gratifying to
learn that they will present, FOR the
first time In Providence their new
sketch "Bilgeville Junction" which is
said TO have been written in Mr. No
bles happiest vein. bubblng over with
bright lines and abounding In ludicrous
complications and amusing situations
ana including such realistic effects as
a train OF cars crossing the stage The
artistic finish OF all the work OF both
Mr.. and Mrs. Mobiles is striking
characteristic and renders them one
OF the strongest attractions in vaude-
vile. and the popularity they have al
ready achieved here is ample assurance
that they will be heartily welcomed I'm
their new farce.
Caron and herbert have long been
known as the greatest comedy acrobats
i'm vaudeville and IL is said that their
new act is even better than that which
has already been seen here two or three
years ago. Their comedy work is spok-
on Of as I'm the highest degree funny.
while some of their acrobatic stunts are
said TO be little short OF marvellous and
the whole act is full OF snap and dash.
Edmund Hayes ana Emily Lytton
will present George VI. Cohan's funnl-
est farce. "A Wise Guy" which he
wrote with a view To fitting their indi-
vdual talents and which never fails to
provoke shouts OF laughter from begin
ming to end. This team L. unquestion-
ably one OF the funniest in fits way that
vaudeville has produced. and I'm many
places they have scored ,..e one big hit
