The Great Creatote.

Creatore, who will be here with his
Italian band at the Colonial Theatre next
Monday night, secures effects and grand
climaxes in music heretofore unknown
to the American public. In the first
place, his managers have given MIN carte
blanche to get the best musicians in
Italy and the band he brings could,
therefore, scarcely be improved in this
way. ECreatore himself is so musical and
so artistic to his very soul that he sees
chances in so music that many others do
not. He takes great work like Gar
men" or "Mignonp and studies it, then
makes a selection and arrangement for
his band All of this work is done by
Creatore personally, and the possibilities
of the music are thus attained. AS di-
rector, the world has not seen Creatore's
counterpart, he seems to be the music
and to play on all the instruments him
self as he absolutely dominates the band.
This is why his concerts are such sue
cess, and why the people hear such music
as they never heard before, and the in
terest already known to exist in this en-
gagement insures one of the largest
houses ever seen in this city.

houses having been built there and the
taxable basis of the city largely in
creased. comfortable homes built with
view to comfort and health. he made
most earnest appeal in behalf OF
those who had invested their money
there He made an appeal in behalf
of the poor working men who, by
thrift and economy, had built their
homes at this place. He made an
appeal in behalf of the many women
who, in order TO provide raiment and
food for their children'by washing for
families, are now deprived because
the authorities had cut off their sup
ply Of water.
A few days ago gentleman ap-
preached an Alderman and spoke TO
him in regard to the supply of water
at Lincoln Place and the only salts
faction he got was: II know nothing
of the supply of water at Lincoln
Place. and neither do / care a d.
Last night member sitting in the
Council unblushingly said: If they
can't get water, let them move. y
How often in future elections will
those words be remembered, and it be
said to the voter: BE careful who
you vote for lest it Will be said let
them move. - To the man who
comes here to invest his money it will
be said to him: "Be careful, or you
may hear those words let them
move. . To the working man who
is now putting his money in the Saw
ings Bank or Building Association.
contemplating building his home, it
will be said Beware, or you may
hear those words let them move -
AS the words Rum, Romanism and
Rebellion" defeated James q. Blaine

utteranee of those fatal words, sure of
his election, and which caused his
defeat, so too, here in Annapolis, un-
less the voter, the property owner
and the poor working man who owns
his own,home is assured that he will
not hear those words when he may
ask for protection and redress let

Tonight at Colonial Theatre.

A play styled "Slaves of the Mine"
will be seen at the Colonial Theati g
this afternoon and tonight. The name
is appropriate, for it is story of the an
thracite coal regions near Wilkes Barre,
and turns upon peculiar law of the
state cy virtue of which conveyance
of land carries the surface only, and n OF
the ore beneath unless especially men
toned. Though the1abor question comes
in incidentally, and there Is thrilling
strike scene, it is not labor" play, but
a domestic narration, full of plot and ac-
ton, and containing strong dramatic
scenes and intense climaxes. The lead
ing scene occurs in the base of a coal
shaft, the characters using real "cage"
or elevator, and actual coal cars, This
scene also shows the destruction of the
mine from an expulsion of fire damp.
The production will be given with en-
tire spenial scenery.

when three larger mules (abreast)
