So firmly liked I'm the affections OF mu-
sic lovers are these last named operas
that extended mention of their merit Is
not necessary.
''rhe Viceroy," which has never been
heard here, is by those prolific writers.
Victor Herbert and Harry h. Smith, and
IL IN said TO be or the same sprightly
character musioaly and dramatically as
their earlier successes. The work has
been stamped with Metropolitan approval
during it's production I'm New York last
spring, and will be rendered here with
the same effective list OF singers who
scored individually during it's presenta-
tion I'm New York.
From all accounts, "The Viceroy" is a
thoroughly up-to-date production, and In
its entirety presents "a constant variety
OF admirable tone effects. The opera is
especially strong I'm it's ballads and con-
certed numbers. and Henry Clay Barna-
bee. w. III. Mcdonald, George Frothing-
ham, w. H. Fitzgerald are furnished with

secution OF the early Christians, will play
it's fifth annual engagement at the Provi-
dence Opera House during the week be-
ginning next Monday with matinees We'd
nesday and Saturday. The play presents
two extremes OF the life of the day: the
magnificent debauchery and prohigate
luxury Of the pagan mobiles contrasted
with the poverty and privations OF the
lowly followers OF Christ.
The story tells of noble Roman who
Is I'm love with beautiful Christian
maiden and who is won TO the faith Of
the woman he loves, although il means
death I'm the Roman arena where the DE
spised followers OF the new faith are Civ
en- to beasts for the amusement OF the
populace.

seen i'm this city last season will present
the piece. The seat sale opens tomor-
row morning.

THEATRICAL NOTES.

Local sportsmen will be particularly in
terested I'm the exhibition OF rifle shoot
ing TO be given by Frank and Lillian
Smith at Keiths next week Miss Smith
enjoys the distinction Of being the only
crack rifle shot whom DR. Carver has re-
fused to meet in competition; and this
may have been due 10 the fact that she
had before her challenge Ia him beaten
his worlds record of 20 glass balls i'm %
seconds, his fair rival accomplishing the
feat i'm l6 seconds.
Keith's theatre will take on a very
martial appearance ON this evening.
when several local military organiza-
tions will monopolze a large portion of
the orchestra. Among them will be the
Machine Gun Battery Battery A Hospital
cUrpE, siguHt corps and -Fhird Division
OF Naval Reserves.
The theatre will be decorated appropri-
ately; and hint has escaped that there
will be certain features of the perform
ance peculiarly apropos to the OCCASION.
Several large theatre parties OF children
including representatives of the Peace
Streef SCnOOl, nave been arranged 20 Visit
Keiths next week To see the Biograpl
picture of the fire drill at that school
The fact that the conditions were so ia
Vorable when the picture was secured
that clear portraits Of hundreds OF the pu-
pills and teachers who passed before the
camera were obtained will give special
interest To the picture, as their friends
will be able To easily recognize them.
The troupe of Toozoonin Arabs that il
10 be a special feature OF next weeks
Keith entertainment is said to he most
remarkable. All OF these dusky aero
bats are possessed of wonderful strength
and agility; and their various feats are
performed I'm such rapid succession and
are Of such sensational and unusual char
meter tirat their act has been described as
"a whirlwind OF athletic maryels."
The friends OF Miss Orissa ForresterS

singers i'm Providence and a Providence
girl ia every sense, are much gratlfed
over the success OF her vaudeville debut

BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Receive Two Applications for Positions
 as Supernumeraries.

Receive Two Applications for Positions
 as Supernumeraries.
 The board of public safety held it's semi-monthly meeting last evening, and for d wonder it opened on schedule time, o'clock. There were present Commissioners Hull, D. Foley and Knox. The first named was chosen chairman in the absence of the mayor. Assistant City Clerk Nettleton read a communication from City Treasurer Gibson informing the board that he was ill receipt of check from the county commissioner for $3,144.49 for the police pension fund.
 An application for an appointment on the supernumerary force from Will liam w. MasSicOtte was recorded in the usual manner and a similar applica- ton from Terrence Hollywood was given back to him. it not having the requisite number of Signers.
 The board recommended to the board of aldermen by vote that Thom- as Crane. janitor of the Driggs school be appointed q special constable to do duty in and around the school only. This recommendation was endorsed by the chief of police. An application from the Waterbury Athletic club signed by the secretary. James s. Car roll. for a license to hold boxing ex, hibition, was granted upon motion of Commissioner Edward Foley. A bill was received from William E. Quigley for S144 for eight years rent for a strip of land three feet wide and about fifteen long in the rear of the engine hOnse on Scovill street, at the rate of SIS a year. This matter evoked some discussion and it appeared to be the subject for some wonder on the part of Chief Snagg, who advised the pur- chase of the land. He said also that MT Quigley derives as much benefit from the passway alongside the engine house, which is the city's property, as the city derives from the use of, the strip of land. MT Quigley's customers use the passway every day, as the city uses the strip of land on which tc dump stable refuse. After considera ble discussion the matter was referred | to a committee of two. Commissioners Hull and E. Foley. The payrolls ot l the department and the regular bills were then approved after which the l board adjourned.

CITIZENS EXCHANGE VIEWS.
One Thinks the Consolidation Matter
 Will Increase Taxes,

Two citizens whose politics are not generally known got into a dispute about consolidation on the green this afternoon. and the spirited way in which they handled the subject prompted spectators to make up their minds that the difference was going to end in blows, but it didn't. One man yelled as he swung his clinched fist in the air that this consolidation scheme was nothing short of q move on the part of T few clever politicians to clinch the board of aldermen for all time in the interest of the republican party. The other man listened pa- tiently for five or ten minutes and when he got chance to speak he de- clared that was not the worst feature of the proposed change.
 q don't care.' he said, s.who gets the offices provided l don't have to pay more taxes than ought to. That's the, only phase. of the bill that interests me. It is not to be expected tbat the democrats will get n fair deal polifi- cally. but every man has q right to look for. justice in the matter of taxa tion.'

CONVICT ISLAND.
Where the Worst Type of Criminals
 Have Chance for Reform.

Have Chance for Reform
 Since 1858 the Andamans, a group of thickly wooded islands toward the east side of the Bay of Bengal. have been used by the Indian government as a penal settlement for life cunvicts. There are about 12,000 convicts in the settlement at Port Blair, which is conducted as a practical reformatory for the reform of the criminals. Every convict knows that his treatment de- pends (after certain preliminary pe- riod of severe discipline) entirely on himself. He also knows that good be- havior will Of itself commute the life sentence to one of twenty years. 4 large number Of tAs eonviets are men respited from death sentences. The newly arrived convict is placed in the cellular gaol, where he is solitary alike in his cell and during his daily walk around the ring for exercise At the end of six months he is transferred for q year and a half to an associated gaol, where he labors in gang during the day and sleeps in q separate cubiele at night. For tbe= next three years he is locked up in barracks at night with prisoners of the same class and kept hard at work all day After this pc. riod the severity is eased down. the tasks are not So irlzsome and his ca paeity Is studied in the employment given to him and he begins to earn a small allowance. which he can either spend on little luxuries or put into the savings bank. At the end of ten years he is eligible for q ticket of leave, with liberty to earn his living within the island settlement in his own way. He can live In his own house. farm little land and move about within consid. erab1e area unwatched. He can send for wife and children, or, if bache- Tor. marry a convict woman. At the end of twenty years, if of good be- havior, he obtains an absolute release. with free conveyance to India to make a fresh start as fgee nan.

Singular Case.

A singular case has just been decided In Germany after oeeupyine nearly a year in trial. When Prince Bismarck died, two Hamburg photographers hribed watcher h the room to allow them to take a flash-light picture of the dead chancellor. They tried to sell the photograph, but the Bismarck family interfered. The photograph itself furnished the evidence which convicted the persons concerned. The men who took the picture did not notice a clock on the wall, which was reproduced in the photograph. and re- corded the exact moment when the view was taken. It was known who was on watch at that moment, and the faithless watcher gave the names of the photographers. The pictures have been suppressed and the photographers sentenced to jail.
