Hot weather had little effect on the
crowds attending the performances given
by the Wilbur Opera Co at the Provi-
dcnce Opera House this week. The thea
tire proved TO be far cooler than most
places outdoors, and there was "A breezi-

Al any rate. patrons came In large num-
bers and famed and applauded. and
seemed 10 be just as enthusiastic as ever.
And there is no reason why they should
not have been. for this company main
tains the high standard II set up at the
beginning OF its engagement
The bllh for next week is an inviting
one. consisting of two OF the companys

The music Is Of an exceedingly high

patrons to decide between these two
operas; but the wise ones will witness
both.
The Girl with the Auburn Locks created
a decided sensation this week, and the
Wilbur engagement does we'll to retain
her for next week. Her act is a great
relief after all the trash that one so
often meets on the vaudeville stage. IL
is i'm every sense "a novelty, one that will

at the residence Of James ID. Oakes,
No. DIG North Franklin street Mr..
Coyle, who is in the employ of the gas
company, went into the cellar of the
house for the purpose Of placing in
position new drip. He sent a child
Of Mr.. Oakes' up stairs to her mother
for small hammer. The mother found
shoemaker's hammer and gave it to
the child and afterwards finding the
smaller hammer and thinking that 1t
might better serve the purpose, took it
to the cellar and was almost overcome
by the fumes from the escaping gas.
She saw Mr.. Coyle lying back on the
coal pile, where he had fallen and
called to her husband. He rushed into
the cellar and found the cause of the
excitement. Neighhors were called and
the PROSTATE man was carried upstairs
and revived. Mrs. Cakes was made sicb
by the gas. The child was also made
sick. The trouble was evidently due
to more gas escaping than had beer
