Albany, n. Y, Nov. 19.-Gov. Roose-
welt has prepared the following memo
randum on the charges against Mayor
Van Wyck OF New York city, in the Ice
Trust matter:
There are three wholly distinct sides
20 the Ice Trust matter.
"In the first place. there is the general
question whether the American Ice Com
pany, dealing az IL does In a necessary
of life to the poor people of New York
was one into which it was proper for a
public spirited man to enter. This is. of
course, not a question for legal action I'm
any shape or form.
Moreover. IL IL unnecessary to point
out that whether the corporation is le-
gal or illegal. proper or improper in char
acter, IL il an act of utter hypocrisy on
the part OF any public man to denounce
trusts in general and this trust I'm par
ticular on the platform and on the
stump, while he at the same time in his
private capacity holds stock or has held
stock in the trust that he thus denoun-
ces.
Attention is called to this feature
simply because an effort has been made
TO show that unless legal action against
the trust or some of its stockholders can
be taken, these same public men are to
be exonerated.
"Second-There Is the question whether
or not the existence OF this so-called Ice
Trust is in violation OF the Antitrust
law. This, of course, can only be decd-
ed by the courts

ELKS' CONCERT.
Providence Opera House Was
Literally Packed to the Doors
Last Evening.

There was n large audience at the
Providence opera house last evening, on
the occasion of the concert given for the
benefit of Providence lodge, No. IA, b. =.
o. E.,-and one OF the features of the affair
was the tasteful decoration OF the interior
OF the theatre. flags. bunting. pictures
and potted plants being used.
Every seat I'm the house was filed and
chairs were placed I'm the aisles, and
these also were occupied. while every inch
of standing room was taken, even the up-
per gallery. known familiarly as the
"nigger heaven" accommodating men
and women i'm evening dress
The programme which opened at s
o'clock, with an overture by the opera
house orchestra, included good list OF
Providence favorites. Andrew Mack,
Daniel Sully, Dan Mason OF the "Naugh-
ty Anthony" company John ID. Griffin Of
THE Parish Priest company and Muir
ray and Lane OF the American opera com
pany were among the artists who delight
ed the large audience. but the favoritcs
OF the evening were two well known In
the city. "the only" Maggie Cline and
Reeves American band.
The former appeared with all her usual
grace and appearance OF being perfectly
at home with her audience and herself

instituted proceedings TO snnul the GER
tifcste OF the Ice Company under this
statute. The corporation, through its
counsel. has fought the action at every
stage on technicalities, not on the merits
OF the case.
"The first decision before Judge Ches-
ter was i'm favor OF the state. An APP
peal has been taken by the defendants
which was argued weeks ago, and the
attorney general is daily expecting "a de-
cision by the appellate division on this
appeal
The defendants obtained a stay OF
proceedings pending the appeal. All pos
sible diligence has been shown by the
attorney general in the effort to secure
the annulment of the certificates. and
nothing could have been done by the
state TO expedite proceedings which has
not been done.
"The delay is due. of course to the
course OF the corporation itself. whose
stockholders include the public men
above alluded TO.
1--WE now come to the third side OF tho
matter. the only one Of which the gov
ernor in his official capacity has any
power whatsoever to act. viz, the char
ges against Mayor Van Wyck.
"Inasmuch as the question as TO
whether the ice corporation is or is not
trust or monopoly is before the courts
for decision. until they have acted, ac-
ton by the governor can only with pro-
priety be taken under the Greater New
York charter. So far as the charges are
brought under this section, IL makes no
difference as regards the mayors con-
duct whether the aforesaid corporation
is or is not a trust within the meaning
OF the law"

THE Parish Priest" which Mr. Daniel

out doubt, one Of the strongest and pref
test plays ever penned by playwright.
You weep and laugh in turn at the pathos
and original humor which are ably blend
ed and drawn out by master hand and
which leads up 60 situations that are
beautifully enacted. What appeals to one
is the naturaness Of the play. IL is every
day hfe depicted by an artist and OBJ
server of scenes that happen In the life
OF every community. IL is original and
what Is more, "a does not depend on
scenic effects TO bring out any strong
points, he author having attended TO

Mrs. Leslie Carter will come TO the
Providence Opera. House next Thursday,
Friday and Saturday and during her stay
will be seen in Providence for the last
time in ZazA There rs an even greater
demand To witness her wonderful acting
than there was year ago, wnen she
Played TO the Providence Opera House
capacity. This enthusiasm may be due
partly TO the announcement that these
are her last appearances here as Zaza,
and partly 60 the wonderful success OF
her recent London engagement.
Providence theatre-goers can scarcely
hope TO see better acting than she gave
them "a year ago. but II there Is any Gu
rlosity or desire TO pay personal tribute
TO the one actress who, on both sides OF
the ocean has been termed great, that de-
sire may be gratihed At the Providence
Opera House during this engagement
So much has been written OF Mrs. Car
ter's thrilling impersonation of Belasco' :
heroine, that there lis small opportunity
TO add to the praises that have been law
ished upon her. 1T is sufficient that Mrs.
Carter's creation remains the same vivid
and thnhing achievement. with perhaps
the added perfection OF having lived a
character through two seasons. Repeti-
tion in her case shows no trace OF mo-
notony, for she gives 10 her portrayal OF
Zaza, all the humor, all ~the pa
thos, all the tragic impetuosity
that has made it admired
wherever she has appeared. The Provi-
uence performances will have the benefit
OF David Belasco's personal attention
and the complete production will come
directly from the Criterion, where Mrs
Carter has been repeating her first sue
cesses.

SUGAR Refining STRONG
Cansed BY an Advance in the Price
of the Product.

ness-The Money Market Easy.

NEW YORK May 23.-As was foreshai-
owed yesterday afternoon. the Americ n
Sugar Refining Company announced this
morning further sharp advance in the
selling prices of its refined product of GER
tain grades. AS was the case on Monday,
the action of the American Company was
at once followed up by the Independent
concerns. Rumors Of these proceedings
reached Wall Street before the offi,ia an
nouncements were made, and on this &C
count Sugar Refining stock was again the
centre Of interest in the days ma ket.
After opening somewhat lower the SO k
advanced rapidly on large transactions, aid
its course was 10 no small extent effe tive
in shaping that of prices in the general
market, as was the case yesterday. So far
as could be aseertained, the further r, por.s
of settlement of protracted difficulties in
the sugar trade which followed the rise
in the stock were wholly wanting in au-
thenticity. This is season when the tiade
in refined sugar is exceedingly active. and
at the recent advance made il would ap-
pear that fair margin Of profit exists for
the refirers
Apart from the improvement in trade
conditions incidental TO the season there
was nothing definite that became pubic
in connection with the particular course
of Sugar Refining. The general mark t
opened rather fiat and with very limit ID
price changes appearing in any quarter.
Londons influence on the market WIS
rather negative, although on balance The
dealings for foreign account were to a
small extent OF the buying side.
The general London market was listless
and oonsols were lower in anticipation of
the issue of new war loan and also in
all probability on account of the rather
negative utterances of the Transvaal Gov
eminent in respect TO the mining proper
ties near johannesburg. London's pur-
chases were virtually confined to North
ern Pacific common. Sugar Refining, how
ever, was easily the most potent influence
in the days movements.
The money market continued extremely
easy.
The local traction shares made the most
conspicuous showing in the market aside
from Sugar Refining, and advances were
common in that quarter The industrial
quarter was generally firm with substan-
tial gains showing in the Tobacco stocks,
Tennessee Coal and Iron, and the steel
industrials.
The movement in the general railway
list was not very extensive. but generally
at higher prices. Atchison shares Union
Pacific, and the grangers were all firm
The market as a whole was extremely dull
and no arpraciabls increase in outside in
terest was reported.

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.

The national disease OF Americans is in
digestion or in its chronic form. dyspep-
STA, and for the very reason that it is so
common many people neglect taking proper
treatment for what they consider trifling
stomach trouble. when, as matter of
fact, indigestion lays the foundation for
many incurable diseases. No person with
a vigorous, healthy stomach will fall vic
tim to consumption. Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor digestion: thin. nervous people
are really so because their stomachs are
out of gear; weary, languid, faded out
women owe their-condition to imperfect di
gestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion ii is not sur
prising that nearly every secret patent
medicine on the market claims to be
cure for dyspepsia, as well as a score of
other troubles, when, in fact, as DR.. Wer-
thier says, there is but one genuine dys-
pepsia cure which is perfectly safe and re-
liable. and moreover, this remedy Is not
patent medicine, but it is a scientific COM
bnation of pure pepsin free from animal
matter), vegetable essences. fruit salts. and
bismuth. 1t is sold by druggists under
name of S.uart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No
extravagant claims are made for them. but
for Indigestion or any stomach trouble,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead
of any remedy yet discovered. They act on
the food eaten, no dieting is necessary,
simply eat all the wholesome food yo'- want
and these tablets will digest It. ! cure
results. because all the stomach needs Is
rest which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give
by doing the work Of digestion.
