of the day. When he first started in only
nine or ten men composed the list of
his auditors, but as he became more and
more intense in his remarks he soon
had about him throng of 70 or more
men and boys.
Mr.. Simonton is a ready talker. His
three pet phrases were ''harnessing the
elements" "the bowels Of the earth, -
and 1.-THE favored barons OF this free
land. He told about the discovery of
electricity and the rapid strides that it
had made so that for many years now it
had made itself much felt in the
economic world. He did not believe that
the working classes in America weer
getting a fair show and at the conclu-
sion of fervid fight of oratory declared
1.-The American work is an ingenious
animal.
The speaker explained that relief
from all burdens of the body polite
could be enjoyed by the workingmen
| holding strictly alCof from both of the
old parties and joining issues and sup
porting the socialist tIcket.

The Bankers Electric Protective Com
pany of New England.

Represented by F. O. Bailey & Co. Of
Portland, who are their State agents,
have just installed in the Maine Savings
Bank their electric protective system.
The essence of the system is an IS
inch gong placed in protected steel
box and located on the outside of the
bank building, which, in case of an at
tack on the vault. sounds anealarm for
about 80 minutes which can be heard at
least \ mile away. The system is abso-
lutely automatic in It's operation, and
does not depend upon any human agency
for efficiency. 1t has been subjected to
the severest examinations and tests
which expert electrical engineers could
suggest, and has never been defeated.
Vaults or safes guarded by this system
are absolutely protected against forced
entrance, no matter what means may be
employed. 1t is simple III It's operation,
efficient in service and maintains its nor
NAL condition without care or attention.
The system is rapidly coming into
favor with financial institus ons, and al
ready large number of the heaviest
banks and deposit vaults in the country
are protected with this system.

tertainment of fashionable vaudeville
presented by the famous aggregation of
novelty entertainers known to the amuse-
ment world as the London vaudeville
company. At its head is the celebrated
novelty, the feature of the best vaudeville
theatres in America the past two seasons
and for the past four months a favorite
attraction of the London Music halls, Miss
Pauline Moran, the peerless entertainer
AMI vocalist and her troupe of pick1nnin
les. This VIII prove one of the greatest
vaudeville features ever seen at River
ton. Wells and Barrow, the sweet voiced
vocallsts and travesty stars viii present

Agent, that has been a pronounced sue
cess in the leading theatres last season.
Prof. Vernon, the great ventriloquist, who
has been seen at Riverton before, viii

the other features are equally good.
M'CULLUM's THEATRE.
The fourth week of the season came to
a conclusion at McCullum's theatre Sat
urdaynight and the house was crowded to
the doors by an exceedingly demonstraUive
audience. The popularity of the McCul-
lum company is increasing with every
week and this IS one of the reasons of
the increasing attendance. The produc-
lions are given this season on an elaborate
scale and an air of the utmost elegance
Is apparent IN every feature of the stage
settings and appointments. Owing TO
the fact that the artists were unable to
get all the scenery ready in time for 1.-The
English Rose fannounced for this week,
1t was decided to postpone that produc-
ton until a week from tonight and to
present comedy IN its place that would
give Mr.. McCullum and his clever play
ers an opportunity to show that they
We're equally at home in this style of en-
terta1nment as in the more serious dra-
ma. Many instances have been given of
the versatility of the several members
and their admirers Will have chance to
see all the favorites this week in roles
fully worthy of their great ability. The
play selected is an English farce comedy
entitled 1.-The Passing Regiment It's
characters are ell amusing though natur
al types and many theatre-goers win be
made supremely happy this week by the
fur1OuSly funny farce. 1t is said TO be
most skilfully constructed and incidents
accumulate to form climaxeS of the most
ludicrOus description. The dialogue is
English comedies, yet there is not sug-
gestive line or situation in the whole
play.
