During the severe electrical storm
which passed over the town late Tues
day evening the lightning struck a board
on the corner OF the house of Henry Col
lins on Taylor street off Avenue A. After
entering and dancing about the house IL
continued down into the basement whore
II struck a couple OF kerosene cans, pune
turing both and setting fire TO the fluid
that ran all over the underworld, making
quite a lively blaze
Mis- Annie Collins was busy about the
kitchen at the time and she felt the eff
fects OF the shock through her body. Miss
Emily Collins, her sister, was in another
part OF the house, and she took hand
and began an investigation. On reach
ing the basement she was susprised to see
the blaze, which by this time had gained
considerable headway. but with presence
of mind the two women started to work
with will to subdue the blaze and with
water from n pump and wet blankets they
labored alone and soon had the satisfac-
tion OF seeing the last vestige OF fire ex-
tinguished. No other damage resulted
about the premises and it is believed that
the lightning ran out OF the house into
the cistern along the water pipes, for
the water from this source was OF an
inky darkness and no other cause could
be assigned.

INTERESTING GLIMPSES
behind The SCENES

Few people realize what grit and pluck
IL takes to follow the theatrical profess
sion, and many a time when the audi
ence is laughing and applauding heartily,
the thing that Ia giving them enjoyment
Is giving pain to another. This week at
Keith's WuI NJ. Cressy every afternoon
and evening" sets the audience in a roar
at "Grastihg An Opportunity" Yet Mr..
Cressy is covering UP the sharp pain
which comes to him every once in a
while. for the author player in an auto
mobile accident a couple Of months ago
broke his leg: and two weeks ago Mr..
Cressy took a spill, which again disabled
II. Now he moves about with n plaster
cast: but no one would imagine that his
acting this week gave him anything but
pleasure, for he hides his pain with a
realistic semblance Of enjoyment.
Another instance is with the Four
Fords. The two girls I'm this quartet are
suffering with severe colds and attacks
OF tonsilitis; but they, like Mr.. Cressy.
cannot postpone any engagements and
insist upon dancing in spite OF their III
ness. They smile merrily and dance with
as much enthusiasm as IL they were I'm
the best OF health. II is a very good
thing for Providence vaudeville patrons
that these entertainers have so much
grit for they would lose this week two
OF the finest acts I'm vaudeville III Mr..
Cressy and the sisters Ford had not been
able TO appear.

GOMPERS RAPS
LAWMAKERS Of
RHODE ISLAND

Samuel Gompers. president OF the
American Federation OF Labor. in letter
received by Secretary Joseph Brickell OF
the Pawtucket Central Trades and Labor
union. prophesies that In a short time.
When labor is somewhat more efficiently
equipped 20 do battle. Rhode Island cor
porations will be shorn OF their power.
The letter is I'm reply TO a communica-
tion from Mr.. Brickell. asking Mr.. Com
pers opinion OF an act passed by the
last legislature, referring 10 the standing
OF unincorporated associations before the
law and what action might be taken
against such societi< and members indi-
vidually for tho collection OF a debt
You are right" says Mr. Gompers
"in your supposition that chapter l34s OF
the laws OF Rhode Island providing for
judicial proceedings by and against un-
incorporated associations, was aimed at
labor and the organizations OF the work
ing people.
II need hardly say to you that Rhode
Island is a corporation ridden state. The
working people are comparatively fully
organized as compared 10 other sections
OF the country: but there will be better
organization and with IL the elimination
of this injustice"

Portable administration building to cost
not over $4,000. and an endowment for a
building to be named in honor OF the
donor. after the style OF the Adiron-
dack bungalows which have been built
for such purposes.
Another item that should receive i'm
mediate attention Is the water supply.
The engine at present employed should
at least be covered with a shed, until
the ideal methods OF either an elevated
tank or a reservoir can be obtained.
The statistics for tho camp since its
beginning In tho summer OF 1903, show
that over 400 have applied for treatment.
A total of 272 cases have actually had
treatment and OF these, 80 were dis
charged as arrested cases; 10J were i'm
proved and 40 we're not improved.

NO MONOPOLY, BRYaN'S CRY.
He Win Not Be Content With Merely
 Regulating the Trusts.

New York. Aux. 15.-The Times pub fishes dispatch from a correspondent abroad who recently talked with MT. Bryan. This correspondent says;
 MT. Bryan hates everything in America that savers of monopoly. He wants equal rights for all men. He objects to the acquisition hy individ- ualS and corporations of practically proprietary interests in trade, com merce and industry. like those, for ex- ample. which have been annexed by the Standard Oil company. He is ab- solutely intolerant of men and institu- tions which enjoy monopolistic priv ileges. He intends to urge his fellow eountrymen to join him in an effort ut terly to extinguiSh monopoly in Amer ica.
 MT. Bryan does not mean to invite support for a simple scheme of regu- lation Of monopolies. He is for the ex- tinctiOn of monopoly-abSOlute extinc- tion."

ODELL HITS HIGGINS
Declares the Governor Is Weak and Should Not Be Re-
 nominated.
CONVENTION OH SEPT. 25.

Same Date as That of the Democratic
 Gathering Likely to Be Chosen by
 New York Republicans - Congress
 man Sherman Says Higgins Has "a
 Lead Pipe cineh."
 New York. Aug. 15,-The Tribune says:
 "Ex-Governor Oden-at the Fifth Ave nue hotel, after cOnferring with vari- ous members of the state committees, friends of Governor Higgins among the rest. came out squarely against the renomina ton of Governor Higgins, He said that he regarded Governor HiSgins as weak candidate; that he would. if nominated. be the candidate of faction. He would not predict that Governor Higgins would be de feated if he ran again.
 There was nothing acrimonious about MT. Odell's manner or words in discussing Governor Higgins possible renomination. He took pains 10 say that he had no personal feeling against the governor. but was giving eSpreS- sion to his best judgment of the po- litical situation from the Republican point of view.
 Only One Exception.
 "It is the custom of the Republican party to refuse a renomination to it's governors.' said the ex-governor. There has been only one exception. and that was in my own case. My experience as candidate four years ago proves the correctness of the rule which de nieS a renomination 10 a governor. don't think Governor Higgins would poll the full party vote. When man has served q term as governor compl- cations follow which weaken him as vote getter. There Is nothing personal In my opposition to the governor. am simply giving expression to my con viction after careful consideration of the circumstances
 Among other things MT. odell said that he would remain chairman of the state committee until the convention and that no effort would be made to re move him. He said also that it had been decided by both factions of the party that the state convention should be held in Saratoga on Sept. 25, which is the same date as the Democratic convention in Buffalo.
 Representative Sherman, chairman of the congressional campaign commit tee. said:
 Governor Higgins is going to be re- nominated by exclamation, and no oth- CT name will be mentioned. It's all fixed up. and Higgins has lead pipe cinch. I don't know whether Higgins is candidate or not. but he will be re- nominated just the same"
