years have been the recognized leaders
in their style of entertainment, will pres
ent their prenial success "Finigan's
Ball" at the Opera house, Sunday eve

1t is quite safe to say that few, if any,
have ever been produced in America
that have stood the test of time SO well.
1t has been several years since this &c
centric and funny play was first pre-
sented by these commedians, yet. it is
claimed, the present season shows the
largest receipts in its history, which
proved Conclusively that the public, at
least percentage of it, like their stage
fun served to them in plain unadulter-
ated doses in large chunks with out cap

it when they see "Finigan's Ball." for a

of the best farce-comedy organizations
in America, including several favorites

prominently as an equal sharer OF the

voice OF rare quality and culture, the
Primrose Quintette of male voices, the

Notice to the Fublio.

Several complaints have been lately made
to the Cemetery Commissioners by owners
OF lots in the Cemetery and also 10y the Sex
ton that cut flowers brought by relatives
on the graves OF their dead are shamefuliy
carried away by some visitors; also That
flower bushes and shrubbery cultivated on
private lots have Of late been disgrscefully
pulled and carried away The Commits
sioners wish to call to the attention OF per-
sons SO doing that they are trespsssers.
and as such are liable TO be arrested. Gem
etery lots, as well as flowers and shrub
berry grown on them, are private property,
and the Commissioners. if this depreciation
continues, will have to make an example
for the protection OF the Cemetery.
At the request OF the Sexton, they also
call to the attention OF lot owners that
when they clean their private lots, they
must not throw the cut grass on the walks
or lots of others. but they must remove 1t
out OF the Cemetery.
For the benefit of the public. we reprint
here some of the rules aud regulations for
the guidance of the public in the Cemetery,
adopted by the Board of Aldermen Of the
town of Providence at their session OF Dec.
End, 1890:
Sec. 7. Respect for the dead should
prompt owners Ct lots to keep them clean
and free from grass. The sections duty is
to keep the cemetery clean. but he has
nothing to do with private lots and graves.
However, should a lot become disgrace
to the cemetery. the Commissioners will
have the Sexton clean it. and they will send
the bill to the lots owner.
49, All persons are warned not to dis
turb trees or plants. cut flowers or shrub
berry In said cemetery those who do SO VIII
be trent ed as trespassers.
- All persons owning private lots in
said cemetery are forbidden from throwing
weeds. grass or other debris taken from
their lots, upon the walks or lots of others;
they MUST REMOVE THEM OUT OF THE
CEMETERY.
III. Hereafter no vehicle, but the hearse
and the carriage containing the family OF
the deceased. will be allowed within the
cemetery. and the hearse and the family
carriage will confine themselves to the
main walk around the centre circle"
With the exception of very few lots or
single grave lots. that are yet eye-sores to
the visitors. the cemetery 10 clean. well
kept and looks well. The Commissioners
kindly ask the cooperation OF all lot own
ers to make it what it should be, an orna-
ment to the town OF Providence.
