RlCHMAN HAS A
DOUBLE TRIUMPH.
,sp.e,u, to The Evening World,

v u w. &Fs'
SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Dot. 6.-Charles
Rlchman began his starring our at the
Court Square Theatre last night under
the management OF Weber & Fields,
in a new romantic drama called capt.
harrington" by Victor Mapes, and won
a decided success. The audience was
one of the largest ever gathered in this
city. Mr.. Richmnn plays the dual role
of George Fielding. lieutenant In the
Continental Army. and OF Harry Bar
rington. a captain in tho British Army.
It is a trying part for any actor. re-
curing many quick changes, but Mr..
Rlchman scored heavily.
One of the central figures In the drama
Is that OF Gen. Washington, whom
Lieut.. Fielding saves from capture as
is played by Joseph kilgour, an actor
OF splendid physique. who makes the
character dlgniied and impressive.
Miss Suzanne Sheldon. as Mr.. Rich
mans leading woman. proved herself to
be clever. The production. which was
staged by Ben Teal. was elaborate.
There are t~wenty-nlne speaking parts:
and In certain scenes over one hundred
persons are employed, Tonight Gov:
Bates and stan. the Governors council
and lieut.. Gov. Guild are coming here
from Boston to be present at the second
performance.

Our mythical friend Atlas had n pretty
big burden In his day. but 1t is doubt
ful whether even he could have stood up
d the load which that sturdy, broad.
shouldered and vir!le actor. w. II.
Crane. was obliged to carry at the Savoy
Theatre last night.
Mr.. Crane had to support and lug
around four acts OF practical dead
weight book-play. Edward Z. Roses
adaptation of II. l.. Wilson's novel
THE ~Spenders."
The book may nave had a commercial.
II not a literary. value. but as dramatic
stock THE Spenders' is lelow par.
Except for the rough and rugged old
mine owner OF Mr.. Crane, the Bines
family proved hopelessly unlnteresting
and their friends were even more tire

ish, at Manhattan Theatre.

Its an exhibition OF Just devilish
feminine cussedness." said @ corpulent
gentleman between the aots Of Mrs.
FIske's production Of "Hedda Gabler"
at the Manhattan Theatre.
The corpulent gentleman was right.
Mrs. Fiske's Hedda Is hardly the crea-
ton OF Ibsen's philosophical brain. The
Hedda seen at the Manhattan Is simply
q woman with q soul too small for q
big. honest sin. coldly cruel and cynical
ly selfish. ~Selhshness. in fact. is the
keynote Of Mrs. Fiske's characterize
ton. The Hedda she presents is a wom-
an with q gangrened ego. There is
nothing pleasing about It, except the
personal magnetism of the actress. There
Is no lesson to be learned. Hedda In
simply bad without Rouse
It is hardly probable that Ibsen would
be pleased with Mrs. Fiske's presenta-
ton of his creation, He might be pleased
here and there with the art of the ao-
tress. but he would have to use a micro
scope to find any trace OF his Hedda-
Two or three members of the support
ing company were good. Miss Carlotta
Nelson being especially so as Mrs. Ely
sted. William B. Mack, as Tesman,
HeddA's husband. presented a very con-
vtncing character. His realization OF
the simple. foolish, trusting bookworm
was all that could be desired.
Beyond these two exceptions the NAM
beers of the company played their parts
In a woodeny manner n there was
little IN the production either from the
viewpoint of atmosphere or novelty
that would Indicate for It n great
amount Of popularity.

TO OUR PATRONS.

AS will be observed, with this issue
the Republican comes out hereafter
twice Neek-on Wednesdays and
Saturdays. This move was decided on
owing to our rapidly increasing SUBJ
scription list and in order to give our
readers and advertisers a better SER
vice. In fact the demand for such
papers seems to be increasing and in a
city the size Of Watertown the amount
of local and county news calls for more
space than once a. week paper is able
to supply. The paper will remain the
same shape and size and the price CT
subscription will also remain the same
rs in the past, thereby giving our
readers double service for the same
money. A number of new depart
ments appealing to the literary tastes
of different classes of people. are to be
added from time to time which every
one will do well to watch for. In fact
the management will endeavor to i'm
prove and branch out in manner con-
summate with the enterprise of the

We admire the man who said, eff
there is one man who more than an
other deserves the outspoken contempt
and opposition of every honest soul, it
is the man who delights in filing the
minds of the younger men and boys
with the foulness of which he has an
abundant reservoir" Such a person,
with his immoral jests, his foul stor-
les and his uncleanly suggestive looks
and words, is devoid Of the vital ele-
ment of manhood, which is sense OF
chivalry and self respect. He is more
like that other tempter the master
whom he serves, Satan himself, than
perhaps any other class of wrong do
ers. 1t is well for the manhood of a
boy Or young man to cultivate the
courage to tell such creature to his
face what he is and what he deserves.

VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Very much disappointment is being
expressed among great many of the
citizens of Watertown over the defeat
of bill 1885, which provided for the
appointment of assessors by common
councils in cities of the third and
fourth classes. The bill was framed
and PRESENTED by Watertown people
and it seems, had the approval of the
members of the tax commission and
the municipal league. Nevertheless,
last Wednesday, without stating any
reasons. the assembly promptly put a
quietus on the measure.
This bill has met the fate of count
less number of others and simply calls
to mind the methods of the present
legislature. Although we do not
claim enough familiarity with the pro-
ceedings OF the legislature to enter in
to lengthy criticism, it looks to an
observer. very much as if the members
of the present legislative body were at
Madison for every purpose except
what they should be there for-that is
the welfare eff their constituents. From
the very beginning of the session it
has been continual wrangle. The
two factions of the Republican party
~ ~ n,
under the spell. No matter how much
merit measure possesses, one Or two
of the opposing factions always blocks
it If it happens to be the product Of the
other faction. Now, the people are
Disguised with this kind of business.
Certainly the citizens of Wisconsin
don't pay legislators to 60 to Madison
in order to give them an opportunity
to fight out political differences which
should have been settled at the polls.
If they have any legislation to enact
which will amount to anything let
them bring it forth; if not they had
better retire to their respective homes
where they might be able to accom-
plish something Of practical value in
other lines. They certainly haven't
done anything at Madison other than
wrangle and draw their salary and
have reached stage where most peo-
pie in all wings of all parties are dis
gusted with their methods
