PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

Peter F. Daley and very pleasant
company gave the opening performance
OF Augustus Thomas Champagne
Charlie" at the Providence Opera House
last evening There was a large audience
70 warmly greet Mr.. Daley.
Champagne Charlie" was presented
at Springfield, Mass. before being
brought here Mr. Thomas is play
maker whose work has won much de-
served favor.
Not unlike part OF its name the new
musical comedy is very light. There is
little of novel interest 10 II as II deals In
a way with the tribulations OF actors
seeking for a chance to move on the OIL
ed tracks OF progress and financial inn
provement.
MIR Daley entertains and he does IL
just the same as he always does His
keenness and swift flowing wit have made
him a host of friends. In this piece he Is
the most interesting party and he man
ages 20 say clever things that have a go
about them All his witicisms last night
were received with great favor. His easy
manner OF getting out OF absurd and un-
pleasant situations Is brought constantly
TO the fore Perhaps any sort OF a piece
IN which Mr.. Daley could be induced 10
walk on 10 the stage with the suitable
accessories OF handsome women in fine
gowns and numerous lights would be
welcome 10 many. At any rate he is the
major part of the play now being pre-
sented.
II must not be understood that Mr.
Daley has depended on himself for the
entertainment of the puhtc for such Is
not the case. His company IL really made
up OF bright people. but the trouble is
there Is a need Of something more sub
stantial few minutes OF stage perplex-
tiles may be interesting but after that
theatre goers want something more live
ly In due time when the show gets TO
New York Il will be strengthened and
Mr.. Dailey's assistants feel more sure of
their ground.
There is some good music and some
pleasing specalties Miss Christie Mac
donald sings as pleasingly as ever and
her dainty manner as well as her singing
got a warm reception from her many
friends One of the best things In the
specialtles is a Scrub Womans' song
and dance. In which Georgia Lawrence
and Ada Lewis appear.
other members OF the company who do
their best are Will A. Mcconnell. Tom
Browne. Larry Sheehan, Edward Gowie.
Helen Reimer, Madge Dean and Lansing
Rowan.

NOTES FROM KElTH'S.

The comedy sketch. "A Desperate
Pair" which will next week introduce 10
Keith audiences for the first time In
vaudeville Frederick Hallcn and Mollie
Fuller. was written by George Nj. Cohan
and Is said TO be one OF the most excru-
ciatngly funny and witty products OF
the pen OF that brilliant young drama
tist. Not since the well-remembered
days OF Hallen & Hart have Keith pat
rons had an opportunity TO see Mr. Hal
len and A.ss Fuller; and their names
alone will doubtless be sufficient TO hll
the handsome playhouse throughout the
week.

A Pigeon as Valet to a Crow.

"Tom was the name given to lordly
young crow" says Florence Nj. Kings
ley in The Ladies' Home Journal.
Beauty was snow white pigeon of
about the crows age. with whom he
was reared. Just how 1t came about
we never knew. but we soon discovered
that Beauty regularly acted as maid of
all work to Tom. She fetched and car
ried morsels of food at his imperious
command. and one of her unvarying
duties was the preening of her mas
ters feathers. Tom was very much of
dandy. His coal black plumage al
ways appeared perfectly dressed and
shining. but the arduous labor of his
toilet was performed for him twice
every day by the humble and affection
ate pigeon.
"Our fine gentleman would come in
from roll in the dust or dip in the
fountain and. seating himself upon a
certain railing. utter short. sharp call.
Instantly Beauty would descend to his
side and begin her task. fluttering anx-
iously from side to side as she worked,
drawing each shining black feather
carefully out to Its full length IN her
pink bill. Tom meanwhile DOING luxu-
riously. with closed eyes. after the
manner Of the complacent patron Of a
skillful barber. If Beauty unfortunate
ly pulled feather too hard. a squawk
and a sudden peck Informed her Of her

The Rutland Daily News says
"There is at least one state in the
union where the obvious lessons
of the Spanish war, with respect to
the organization and training OF
the militia, have not gone wholly un'
needed. This state is Minnesota. 1t
is not definitely stated that a general
program Of actual war training has
been adopted there, but at least one
Of the regiments Of the National guard
has been out on a regular campaign
for week past. 1t left St. Paul with
full field equipment, including wagon
trains, and landed $50 miles away, in
unfamiliar territory near the Mile
Laos Indian reservation. Since then
it has been marching and camping in
the half-wild country of that region.
Some of the lessons Of the Spanish
American war have been learned by
the Vermont militia and belonging to
the National guard in this state means
more than it formerly did, but We
haven't heard OF the Vermont
soldiers taking the training that
the Minnesota militia are. 1t is
a good example to follow. The
Vermont regiment would not have to
travel far 70 find mountain Businesses
and rough country upon which to
train. For instance, let them try the
route that the Shaws, father and son,
murderers of the White River juno.
ton deputy sheriff, took across the
mountains, evading dogs and men for
full week. Some real hardships have
been encountered in the Minnesota
campaign, owing to the fact that the
temperature has been continuously
exceedingly low for this season Of the
year, and to the further fact that for
several days drenching rains followed
the troops almost necessarily, making
the clay roads we'll nigh impossible at
times and giving the boys a taste Of
the genuine difficulties encountered in
actual military service. That the Off
GERS haven't been tender is evidenced
by the statement of a Minneapo-
lis correspondent, travelling with the
command, to the effect that the regi-
ment made is miles in one march,
under these circumstances, and that
one company, detailed as pioneers,
was sent ahead to repair the road and
make it possible for the wagons to fol-
low. Another point interesting to
the correspondent is that the canteen
wagon is taking in very little money,
as the soldiers, being under the ne
cessity for constant, yigor. us exer-
tion, and not finding the time
hanging heavy on their hands, show
little di position to drink. If such
real soldering is injected into the
state militia OF Vermont and other
commemorative, when they undertake
to furnish troops for the nation they
will be hardened soldiers. The most
readily remediable weaknesses in the
system of militia training discovered
in 1898 are, however, being discover
ed".
