PARK THEATRE.

Treasure Island" returned to Provi-
dence for another weeks visit at tho
Park theatre yesterday. having been
played at this popular theatre last year
when Il made most favorable impress
sion and won many friends scores OF
whom greeted Il with hearty applause.
Treasure Island" is a dramatlzation OF
Robert Louis Stevenson's successful
novel, that has been for many years the
idol OF both man and boy. IL is a melo-
drama, pure and simple, and by the ef-
ficent handling OF Mr.. Vance. II has RI
pened into a play OF absorbing interest
and thrilling power. The play. which Is
portrayed In four acts, opens in Admiral
Ben Bow inn, on the coast OF England,
where Bill Jones, the pirate, Is discovered
with the map Of Treasure island, ana
where. after much skirmishing IL is Sc
cured by Jim Hawkins The second act Is
a scene OF Squire Trelawney's drawing
room In which plans are made for a voy'
age TO the island. and where again the
pirates attempt to gain possession Of the
map. and again are defeated by Jim. The
third and most thrilling act is the deck
OF the Hispaniola. the arrival at the ISL
and, the mutiny In which Kate and Grace
are tied 10 the mast. Jim's slide fer life
and the storm In which loud peais OF
thunder with vivid lightning and bowling
wind made one OF the most realistic
storms staged at this house. The closing
scene was that OF the stockade in which
Jim has a desperate sword combat in de-
Tense of the girls with Black Beard
The company presenting this play is an
unusually competent one and is headed
by Miss Beatrice. Mr. vance's clever lit
tie star. She appears In the role OF Jim
Hawkins. the cabin boy, which she por-
trays In a very pleasing and able man
ner. She Is a contortionist and acrobat OF
much merit and has chance To present
some specialties In the course OF the per-
formance
Others prominent In the cast were:
<Messrs. Harry Markham, as Bill Jones,
the pirate, alias John Silver. sea cook:
Raymond Gilbert, as Black Beard, cap
tain OF the pirate brigade; Keicey Con-
boy, as Capt. Smollett, OF the good ship

MANY BELIEVE THAT
WATER DEPARTMENT is
BECOMING EXTRAVAGANT

examinations bimonthly chemical ex-
animation of both the raw and filtered
water will be made. When the new
plant will be in operation THE same
work will be carried on, and for this
reason sand filtration is a natural pro-
cess, and is subject to influences of ex-
ternal conditions. The rate of filtra-
ton, the amount of water on the filter
beds, the integrity of the bacterial film
on the surface of the sand, az influence
the degree of filtration, and whether
the filter is working right can only be
determined by daily examinations.
Again, from time to time the upper
layer of the sand must be cleaned, and
after cleaning the water which filters
through contains a large number of
bacteria. This water is wasted for day
or more, or until meteorological exami-
nation shows a reduction in the num-
Der of bacteria to at least 100 per cubic
centimeter. You see, then. that the
bacterioiogist is the only person who
determines when the water should be
supplied to the consumers. A filter
plant without lbacteriologist is like a
costly engine without an engineer. AS
a matter Of fact, wherever a sand filter
lis being established, the bacteriologist
is one of the first officers put on duty,
Gould this work be given out? No.
In the first place, all these tests must
be made on the premises, since water
soon undergoes changes in the number
of bacteria present, and unless the
sample is examined at once no re-
lance can be placed on the results. 1t
is for this reason that the laboratory
will be established on the premises of
the filter plant. In the second place,
were this possible, the amount the
Water Department would have to pay
for piece work would be from fifteen
to twenty thousand dollars a year.
81 may say that Wilmington is fortu-
nate in having secured a contract with
an unprecedented guarantee. Forty
bacteria per cubic centimeter is the
lowest number that can be obtained 10y

Der of orders for a patent fiat iron. The
invention was made so that charcoal could
be placed within It and keep the iron hot
for some time.
The agents in order TO secure orders,
would inform the prospective purchaser
that Llppincctt and Company would make
all repairs and furnish charcoal. The irons
cost 4 so each and a number Of orders were
given for them, the purchasers paying
from 50 cents to 1.50 down. demanded by

at the time of the delivery Of the irons.
Agents have been In town for several
days past delivering the irons which failed
TO come up TO the expectations Of some

promptly. A Pennsylvania official said
yesterday:
