Pea Culture In Indiana.

The culture of peas is gradually be-
coming a very important industry In
Indiana. At Franklin, Greenwood and
many other places the canning factories
have taken up pea canning, and the
markets of the world are always ready
for Indiana canned goods of any de-
scription At Franklin there Is plant
that adds 10000 cans daily TO the In
diana supply. 1t is said that the daily
canning done in Indiana does not fall
short of half-milllon cans, and more
than n thousand people, not including
the growers, are given employment.
While the pea canning industry has not
vet reached the extent of the tomato
canning industry, there is every indl-
cation that within a few years 1t will
rival II in point of shipments.
Indiana now stands second In the list
of States as canning center, and fur.
nishes 20 per cent Of the canned goods
put up annually in the United States
MARYLAND stands first. having a slight
margin over Indiana, and New Jersey
Is third.

PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

The splendid impression created on
House by Charles Frohman's London
Comedians in their clever comedy my
Daughter-in-Law has resulted In a
splendid business. Every performance
since Monday night has showed a
marked increase in attendance and this
is as IT should be, as both company and
comedy is one of the best that this city
has had the pleasure of seeing. There
viii be but three more performances
tonight, Saturday matinee and Satur-
day night. To miss seeing this COM
pany will be 10 regret having lost an
opportunity OF witnessing magnificent
performance.
The presence of such well reputed
singers as Eugene Cowles, George Ten
merry, Lucille Saunders. together with
Miss Nielsen herself in the cast OF The
Singing GirP should form a good enter
ing wedge for general belief in one OF
the managerial statements about the
Alice Nielsen Opera Company. This
statement declares that the Nielsen
Opera Company organization this sea-

and for three nights thereafter, is the
