PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

There seems TO be no limit TO the en-.
terprise of the management OF the Will
bur Opera Co. which Is playing such a
remarkably successful engagement at
the Providence Opera House. Not a
week has gone by thus far without some
new sensation or pleasing innovation be-
ing sprung on the local public. Popularity
speaking the management seems con-
stantly to have something hid up its
Sleeve" and the surprise of II all Is that
each innovation is BETTER than it's pre-
decessor.
Not only Is remarkable enterprise
shown; but most admirable degree OF
pluck, for Miss Daniel has engaged for
the coming week the costliest act now
on the vaudeville stage, Marie Dressler
a. Co. In sketch called Twenty MINI
her chosen field OF musical comedy In
which she had been such a successful star
only after she was offered a salary OF
deville. Now. this is a pretty big salary
being a tribe more than the president
OF the United States receives; but there
would be little likelihood of managers
paying her this sum, If she didn't earn
1t, for they are in the business to make
money.
All who have ever had the pleasure OF
seeing Miss Dressler need not be told
what an exceedingly clever and sponta-
neously funny woman she is. She alone
has made "A success or several comedies
I'm which she has appeared. when other
wise they would have been rank failures
Her methods are entirely original. and
she never plays the same role exactly
alike, always adding little bits OF comedy
on the spur OF the moment that have
gained for her the reputation of being
the funniest woman on the American
stage" In the sketch In which she will
be seen all of next week, she has an ex
cellent vehicle TO display her talents. 1t
Is one continuous laugh.
Hundreds of requests have poured In
upon the management OF the company
asking that Two Vagabonds." the VIII
opera will, therefore. be sung all of next
week. During tie first half of the week
the part of Jaques Strop will be sung
by j. Clarence Harvey; for the balance
OF the week. Master Gabriel will play
the part. No better comedy role was
ever written for comic opera. and a
good natured rivalrv has arisen between
Mr.. Harvey and Master Gabriel as TO
who will carry OFF the honors I'm the part
Gabriel says that he will make Mr. Har-
vey look like Little Casino I'm poker
be said as every iheatrcgoer knows that
II made Francis Wilson and Pauline Hall
famous.
The same attention az usual will be paid
TO the vaudeville bin next week Anna
Laughlin has bright, new specialties and
Master Gabriel, that untiring youngster
says he will come to the fore with the
best me nologue he has given vet. The
Lamar Bros, OF course. will have new
songs 10 offer. Altogether the bill Is
about the biggest things of the kind ever
est rert OF IL IL that there will be no
adxarce In prices. Matinees will be given
daily, and for a sure cure for the blues
We recommend the performances.

THE GENTRY SHOW.

Prof. Gentry's school of performing
dogs and ponies which are to exhibit
under a tent In this city beginning June
9th, at Broad street and Potters av-
enue, Will be great treat to the little
folks. The exhibition while IL In espec-
tally attractive To the children, is equal
ly enjoyed by the older people. and the
many additions which have been made
TO the show this year make 1t more at
tractive than ever. There is a big
troupe OF monkey actors this season in
addition to the dogs and ponies. all Of
which have some new act to present.
The dogs and ponies reception, at the
conclusion of the performance is one
of the lately added novelties, at which
the children are allowed to ride the
ponies and caress the dogs, all OF which
are very fond of the ladies and children.
They will give two performances daily
at 2 and p. m. and will remain with
us but four days.

Minister WI Ting Fang is rapidly
humorist," said a New Orleans club
man, to Times Democrat reporter.
While he was here during Mardi Gras
he gave several exhibitions OF that side
of his character, and none of them more
striking than little incident that oc-
CURED at the Rex ball, which somehow
or other has never found It's way into
print. AS soon as the minister appeared
on the scene OF festivity he was sur
rounded by an admiring and hospitab'e
crowd, and when somebody asked him
for his autograph he was Immediately
deluged with similar requests from all
directions. Wu complied very good
naturedy. and for while he was kept
busy scrawling hieroglyphics on cards,
fans. slips OF paper envelopes and any
thing else that happened TO come handy.
Then he essayed to move on, but was
intercepted by gentleman who was
especially eager 10 secure his signature
but had been kept back by the crush.
The minister was evidently tired OF
writing and made deprecatory ges-
ture. i have no pencil, he said, and
tried again to get away. Here's one.

pressing stub into his hand. We'll,

began feverish search of his pockets.

desperately. and presented the broad
side of one Of his cuffs.
THE distinguished visitor smiled has
tily scribbled four or five mysterious
Chinese characters on the linen and
moved away. Now for the funny part
of the story. The possessor OF this
unique autograph cut IL carefully out OF
the cuff and transferred il TO his
pocketbook. Naturally he was curious
to know what the writing meant. for it
was evidently more than mere sigma
ture. and several weeks afterward he
exhibited IL to a very intelligent Chi
nese merchant of this city. As the
Chinaman looked at il a startled ex-
preston crossed his face and then he
became convulsed with laughter. What
does 1t mean?' demanded the owner OF
the souvenir, greatly surprised. Don
know replied the Mongolian between
chortles: can't make i'm out Since
then he has tried IL on three other edu-
Gated Cinnamon with similar results.
They all went into spasms Of merr-
ment as soon as they saw the hero
glyphics and then eagerly denied any
knowledge of their import.
1T is pretty evident to the mind OF
the gentleman in question that the
smooth diplomat from the flowery king
dom perpetrated some very warm bon
mot at his expense, and the mystery
that invests IL has infiamed his curl
osity nearly to the bursting point. He
swears he is going 70 have the thing de-
ciphered II he has to send 10 Canton
for a special translator. Meanwhile the
Cinnamon he consulted laugh every
time they see him--all OF which is very
disquieting. He wishes now he hadn't
been so persistent about the auto
