Charles Dow Clark skllfully portrays
the character OF an old beau, Charles
Burrows makes an excellent old man
and Louise Lewis. a good lady. One
of the very best things I'm the produce
ton Is the character OF Snuiiies and II
could not be better played than Mr..
James K. Mcdonald plays IL. Mr.. Nc
Donald sings well and this time he in
troduces a coon song that is very
pleasing. A splendid bn OF character
acting is that OF John j. Magee as the
butler.
Miss Jessie Merrilees gives most in
teresting impersonaf7on of Estelie the
Telephone Girl" The part calls for
vivacity and abandon and both these
qualities are generously displayed by
Miss Merrilees. sle sings prettily and
her dancing is pleasing. Miss Marion
Daniels was pretty Beauty Fairfax.
The part of "Toots" as taken by Miss
Nellie Douglass proved one OF the most
pleasing I'm the play. Miss Douglass
sings and dances well and she has the
happy knack of being always interest
ingly funny.
Miss Woodbury.. the captain. is good
singer and the dance eccentrique OF
Miss Lillian Austin was, as II deserved
to be, warmly received.

GOVERNMENT TRYING TO TRACE
$400,000,00o IN GOLD COIN

The manufacturing jewelers. of this
CITY and the Attleboros have been
asked by the director OF the United
states mint 10 assist the treasury de-
partment authorities in locating s4O0.
100000 in gold coin which has been put
in circulation, but which was not repre-
sented in any of the official reports OF
the treasury or OF the various banks
throughout the country.
Recently all the manufacturing Jew
elers received blanks from the treasury
department TO be filled out and re-
turned.
The authorities hope by consulting
the jewelers. and all concerns which use
gold and silver in the Industrial arts
TO get some trace of at least portion
of the missing gold. The jewelers. have
been asked to State the value OF gold
and silver used during the year ending
December 81, 1899. i'm the manufacture
or repair OF goods; the character of the
material used. whether IL was United
States coin. stamped United states
mint or assay Office bars; private re-
nnery bars: foreign coin; old jewelry
plate or other material; native grains,
nuggets. etc; wire or rolled plate.
Every United States consul has also
been asked to look for stray United
States coin. Altogether over 100000 let
ters OF inquiry have been issued, and
half that number OF replies have been
Seturned, and from those replies the
authorities have learned that many mil
lions OF dollars i'm gold are melted every
year and turned into spectacle frames,
jewelry, teeth and all sorts OF things.
The treasury accounts show that there
should be $1,000 600. 900 i'm active circu-
lation. but as matter OF fact only
5000. 100000 can be accounted for. leav-
ing 40 per cent unaccounted for.
There need not be any hestancy I'm
answering these questions. for while
there Is "A law prohibiting the mutila-
tion of United States coin the director
of the mint says the law was intended
to cover the work of sweaters" and
not those who used the metal in the
arts.

There are three comedians In 'The

Mr. Joseph Cawthorn and Mr.. John
Slavin. They are a strongly contrasted
trio in their style OF making FUN and each
is genuinely funny apart from the songs
and the lines which the opera provides
him with. They fill time in the opera
to such good effect that the audience
could not get enough OF them last
evening.
Encores and recalls were frequent
throughout the evening, the star, her
fellow principals and the chorus all
sharing In the tributes bestowed by a
delighted audience.
IL was a fine triumph for everybody
concerned in the production.
The three sets OF scenery provided for
"The Singing Girl are particularly
elaborate and attractive. And the scen-
cry was accorded applause. too. The
costumes are Immensely varied. elabo-

Miss Alice Nielsen has abundant rea-
son TO believe that she Is popular in
Providence.
One of the largest audiences OF the
Season welcomed her last evening at
the Providence Opera House in her new
opera THE Singing Girl"
And the welcome was rousing one.
Miss Nielsen is pretty woman and
a sweet singer. She is vivacious and
she knows how to wear gracefully and
becomingly the odd costumes which the
comic opera costumers invent. The
Singing Girl' is like Miss Nielsen
pretty, tuneful, vivacious and becom-
ingly extravagant as 10 costumes. The
makers Of the opera fitted IL delight
fully to Miss Nielsen and the spirit of
the little prima donna is infused all
through IL. among her fellow -princi-
pals and the big chorus
The music OF THE Singing Girl" is
more than ordinarily lavish for comic
opera and IL is more than ordinarily
huneful. That Is, 1t lis tuneful uninter-
ruptedly throughout There is no OBJ
Nious filling" There Is none OF II that
Is not pleasant To listen To and most of
the numbers are positively delightful.
There is a fine rhythm, swing and dash
from opening overture 10 final chorus
and the lyrics are all charming. Victor
Herbert, who wrote the score. has out
done himself in abundance. variety and
merit. The music is full measure and
Oyerflowing.
According to the strictly comic op-
era laws of the charming town of Linz,
Austria, no counting, or kissing, is per-

actions expressive OF love, according

Flirtations are thus liable to punish

because he is victim OF unrequited
love which temporarily spoils his tenn

CATARRH OF THE KIDNEYS.

thought my case was hopeless. But
words cannot express my praise for
your medicines. My friends were won
derfully surprised when they saw me
improving. But I have not suffered
a day since I began taking your
medicines; I eat anything I wish and
have good appetite. 1 was suffering
from dropsy so bad that could not get

swelled up"
Mrs. Mary A. Shear, Jennings, La,
says: 81 am recommending your medi-
cines to every one hear complain. My
disease was Bright's disease of the kid
neys. am quite well now."
The kidneys are subject to catarrh the
same as any other organ. The catarrh
may be slight, giving rise to little or no
disturbance, or severe, producing
genuine case of Bright's disease of the
kidneys. The symptoms Of catarrh Of
the kidneys are weak back, dull pains
in back and hips, sometimes high
colored and sometimes clear urination.
Catarrh of the kidneys quickly leads
to chronic Bright's disease. Pe-ru-na
should be taken at the appearance Of
the first symptom. If taken in the
early stages of the disease Pe-ru-na is
sure to cure every case. Pe-ru-na cures
catarrh of the kidneys simply because
it cures catarrh wherever located. No
other systemic catarrh remedy has as
yet been devised. Insist upon having
Pe-ru-na. There are no medicines that
can be substituted. There is no other
remedy that can be relied on to cure ca
tarrh of the kidneys. Pe-ru-na cures ca
tarrh of any organ of the human body.
