One we'll established, but awkward
custom in connection with the inaugu-
ration of public officials is the encum-
bering of desks with flowers, often put
together In the form Of horseshoes
wreaths or other designs TO the
thoughtful person this means a silly
practice. The average man is as much
out Of place with bouquet as a wo-
man with cigar. Watch the next
man you see in n parade who has
flowers in his hands. especially if he is
mounted. and observe how utterly i'll at
ease the floral handicap makes him
appear. In many instances the flowers
sent to public officers come from men
or companies that expect to ask and
receive favors to establish the idea of
being generous and thoughtful, with
the hope that the senator, alderman or
whoever the recipient Is, may be APP
preached when his help is needed,
without breaking the ice" At least
one Providence official received
flowers at City Hall yesterday from a

Grand opera House.

A play of absorbing interest and
thrilling power IS Treasure Island,
which opened three nights engage
ment at the Grand Opera House last
night and highly pleased the large au-
dience present. The piece Us an adapt
alton of Robert Louis Stephenson's sea
novel, Treasure Island Tn this big
production is a realistic ship scene
where sailing vessel, laying at anchor
off Treasure Island, encounters a fear
full gale The big ship is caat on the
crest of the giant waves; the sails are
torn to shreds by the whistling winds,
and it is decidedly weird in its vivid
realism. To produce this effect Man
ager Vance carries for the first time
within the history Of the drama a spe-
cial stage from city to city to be used
at every performance of Treasure Is
land" 1t is an ingenious interlocking
sectional stage, 30x24 feet Mr.. Vance's
own invention, on which he has secur-
ed a. patent. He also uses beautiful
panorama of Treasure Island" 800 feet
in length and twenty-five feet high. TO
produce the wind on the sails he uses
blower of 5000 pounds pressure, worked
this scene. The wonderful barricade
scene and battle with broadswords, fin
ishing in hand to-hand conflict be-
tween the crew and pirates is another
wonderfully realistic climax.
The company which has been selected
to present this piece is one OF excep-
tional merit and is headed by Beatrice,
who is exceptionally good in the boys
part. Her dancing speciality in the first
act was deserving of the applause it re-
ceived. Martin A Somers was excel
lent as the pirate. Clifford p. Smith
was good as the cal plain, and Raymond
Gilbert made an excellent blackboard.
Fl. c, Lester as the squire was we'll re-
ceived Harry Lawrence, the colored
servant in the comedy role, was excep-
tonally good. Others deserving of spe-
cial mention were Edward White,
Aimee Sands and Ami Fleston. In fact,
the entire cast is remarkably clever.
The play will be repeated this and to-
morrow nights and at the matinee to-
morrow. Secure your seats at once

REMINDERS OF INDIANS,
Valuable Collection of Weapons and
Implements

| NdludDle IOlleCLlOn Oh weapons anu
Implements
| Plainvflle, Conn, Jan. o.--In this vi
entity there are a number of gentlemen
who have through the years gathered
together collections of minerals, Indian
relics, curiositieS, etc, and some OF
them possess considerable value. One
of the most interesting collections is
that owned by Burdette Lewis, of
Whiting street. one of our best known
citizens. He has devoted much time to
the gathering and study of Indian rel
les in this city region and is an author
ity on the subject. His collection en-
braces wide variety and includes
specimens of pottery from the old soap
stone ledge in Bristol, spear head from
the Nathan Hale farm, arrow heads
from Pennington, shuttles, hammers,
pistols, scrapers, drills, and all the 9th
en- stone implements used by Connecti-
cut Indians 1t is a subject that has
fascination for most people, and when
intelligently studied gives an accurate
idea Of the life, customs and habits Of
race of men that lived and disap-
reared from the face OF the earth, and
the only eNlueHtt lIhl they nave ltlt
that they once occupied this land is
the arrow head or other article in the
collectors cabinet. A collection like
this must be seen and studied to be
appreciated The fact that it was
gathered in this region would indicate
that the aborigines must have been
quite numerous or else prodigal in the
use Of their weapons.
In addition to his Indian implements, !
Mr.. Lewis has gathered a number of
weapons, including pistols, swords,
rifles, bows, etc. A particularly fine
arm is a needle gun. one Of the sort
that came into prominence during the
Franco Prussian war, Another i'm |
is a serviceahle bow made OF

of the old whaling days is large reel !

and whales teeth. In the days |
when whaling was an importan in |
dustry and the sailors found time |
hanging heavily on their hands during |
a long voyage, they were wont TO en-
ploy their leisure and ingenuity in .
making elaborate articles Of whale
bone for their friends at home. This
reel is an elaborate and very ingen-
ious affair and must have taken much
time to construct. Quite a number
of rivets were required and those were
hammered out of silver coin. The
unique article is doubtless the only
one of its kind ever made. Mr. Lew

instruction in the matter. They con-

books, the bishop either approving or
condemning them as they came up for
judgment, until finally Robinson Cru

ooh, yes" replied the bishop. "It is
quite a harmless narrative and has
pleased boys for ages. Besides, you
know, there is some reason to believe
Robinson Crusoe was an Episcopali-

An AIIigntor's Nest.

Alligators' nests resemble haycocks
more than anything else to which they
can be compared. They average about
four feet in height and five feet in
diameter and are constructed of grasses
and heritage. First the mother gator
deposits one layer Of eggs on mortar
like floor, and, having covered this with
a stratum Of mud and heritage about
eight inches thick, lays another set Of
eggs upon that, and SO on to the top,
there being commonly from 100 to 200
eggs in nest. With their tails the par
ents then beat down the tall grass and
weeds to prevent the approach Of I'M
seen enemies. The female watches
her eggs until they are Matched by
the heat of the sun and then takes
her brood under her own care, defend
ing them and providing for their sub
sistence.
