PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE

The Providence Opera House had its
full share of the Labor Day patronage at
its formal opening for the season, as ca
pacity audiences. afternoon and evening,
enjoyed TO the limit the new musical en-
tertainment THE Green Bird" a melo-
dious bit OF frivolity that has been the
prevailing warm weather attraction in
Boston.
There is substantial foundation OF
plot" OF the sort that distinguished the
one-time grotesque school OF opera bouffe,
and the spectacular interpretations of song
and dance and the dialogue OF musical
farce and frequent touches OF extrava-
ganza, make the production what 1t is
called on the program. "a tropical mu-
sical fancy" 1t is lively. snappy and
melodlous and affords most acceptable
entertainment from the following cast;
Rumstio. King of Okoko. Henry Norman
Snitz, royal astrologer. -. VIII II. Sloan

Dick Winner. Charles III. Bowers
John j. Jones. Fred Lennox
Ula ............................ Helen Hayes
Aloha .......................... Eleanor Kent
Milda ........................... Elsa Ryan
Lallapaloosa Alice Hosmer
The Green Bird .............. John Lorenz
The cast gives performance that la
brisk and snappy, and there is pleasing
sense OF security In the apparent ease
and lack of strain evinced by all the par
ticipants Fred Lennox is a comedian OF
infectious humor and nonchalapt method
and as the Chicago Snowman is at his
best
Mr.. Sloan, as Snitz, the royal plumber
and astrologer shares the honors as a
funmaker while the most acceptable
work OF Mr.. Kennedy as a professional
wild man, and Mr.. Norman as cannibal
king easily provide a sufficiency OF
laughter.
Miss Kent has a sweet and well-trained
voice of considerable power in and rem
ders several selections to excellent ad-
vantage. Her duet in the second act with
Mr.. Bowers who proved entirely accepta-
BILE in his numbers was the vocal gem or
the performance. Miss Ryan made an ex-
cellent impression. romping through her
part with much vivacity and personal
charm and displaying much grace in dan
cling Her vocal numbers were also well
received, Miss Hosmer aided. materially
in the genral amusement by her imper-
sonation of Lallapaloosa, the Bounding
Billow," and the contribution OF Miss
Hayes to the performance was well done.
Mr.. Lorenz as the Green Bird showed
no mean dancing ability.
The large chorus which was In almost
constant evidence, worked hard. IL had
personal pulchritude, vocal efficiency,
dancing agility and lingerie TO spare and
the general verdict was that II was both
capable and attractive and contributed
materially to the success OF the play. The
performance will be repeated tonight and
tomorrow afternoon and evening.

Sticky fly paper was invented tC catch flies, not cats, but seems equally successful as destroyer of felines. A Germantown man had pet pussy of which he was very fond. The animal went to sleep on several pieces of this kind of fly catcher the other day, but after a period of struggle managed tc get loose from the well-stuck-on blast CTS and proceed to give himself thor ough washing until the discomfortinq gluey mass had disappeared from his fur. The next day the cat was dead and the man remembered having read short time ago of a similar case that happened up State.

They Believe Federal Government Can
Evolve System of General Reguld-
ton That Will Insure Fair
Treatment of Shippers.

Chicago, March 15.-Several rail-
road officials whose lines center here
were interviewed on the present con-
dition of affairs in the railway world.
President Stickney of the Great West
ern said:
II think the time has come when
If the whole regulation OF railways
can be done by the general govern
ment and the discordant regulations
by state governments can be elimin-
ated, a system of government regula-
ton could gradually be evolved which
would insure all shippers fair and
equal treatment and which would give
to railway investments that stability
to values which is so desirable"
Benjamin l.. Winchell, president of
the Rock Island system, said:
Although the present situation is
an unpleasant one, both from a rail-
road standpoint and from a general
business standpoint, I do not view the
situation quite as alarmingly as some
seem to. l believe that the most dan
gerous feature with respect to the
rate situation is the crop of 2-cent
passenger laws which IS being har-
vested all over the west. If the In

The first prices in the stock market
today showed large advances from
yesterdays close.
Buying was renewed on a large
scale through the list when the ef-
fectlveness of the support was demon
strated. Trading by noon approxi-
mated 100000 shares. Several OF
the less prominent members of the
exchange were helped out of difficult
ties today, according to current re-
ports, but there were no failures.
This evidently WAS the result of the
protective measures adopted over
night. The first upward flight of
prices was Immediately taken advant-
age of to resume unloading of stocks,
and prices began to crumble in a
manner which revived the uneasiness
prevalent yesterday. Fluctuations
were very wild and feverish for II
time. The buoyant rise in London
was the prime factor in lifting the
prices here, and orders issued by the
secretary of the treasury after the
close of the market yesterday gave
hope of relief in the money strin-
gency, although considerable confu-
sion is shown in opinions as to how
great the effect will be. Large dis
bursements in dividends today are
also expected to help the money mar
ket. Great satisfaction is expressed
that no failures resulted from yes

Asylum.
HOPES SMITHS EVIDENCE
WILL CONVINCE THE JURY
That ThaW Had Deliberately Plan
ned and With Equal Deliber-
alton Murdered White.

New York, March I5.-Delmas
sprang a decided surprise upon Jer-
ONE today by announcing that he
would not cross examine any OF the
experts for the state in the Thaw trial.
Jerome thereupon, during the morn
ing session, put five alienists on the
stand one after another. Claiming
THAR familiarity with the hypothetical
questions put to experts for the de-
Tense and also with Jerome's 1900
word exposition of evidence, they de-
clared their opinion that at the time
Thaw shot and killed White he knew
the nature of his act and Knew that
the act was wrong.
DR., Alem Mel Hamilton, who had
been summoned as witness in the
case, had a long conference with Del
mas and others of Thaw's counsel be-
fcre the mornings session.
When Jerome proposed calling
Hamilton he seemed to have the in
tention of proving Thaw to be suffer-
ing from incurable insanity Then
came the discovery of James Cllnch
Smiths testimony as to Thaw's ra-
tional conversations upon the Madi-
son Square roof garden, and his
roaming about the place as IL looking
for the man who became his victim.
and Jerome switched his policy to
pressing the trial to a conclusion upon
the Indictment for murder I'm the first
degree.
Hamilton has expressed the opinion
that Thaw was insane when he saw
him in the Tombs and that he re-
mains so.

PEDAGOGUES THREATEN
TO STRIKE AT COL
ORADO SPRINGS

Colorado Springs, March l5.-The
teachers of Colorado Springs have
decided to strike for higher wages.
They have, in effect. formed a union
and prepared a demand for a maxi
mum OF $500 instead of $3.50, which
Is the high mark now.
1t Is pointed out that of the ninety
nine elementary teachers employed in
this city only nine board. The others
camp out" so to speak, in order to
make both ends meet. The teachers
have not gone at the matter of ask
ing for more pay in a haphazard sort
of way but have compiled statistics
to prove the justice of their cause
They are ready to show that at the
present scale of wages teachers are
unable to properly provide for them
selves. Two are at present in hos
pitfalls, and as result will be in debt
at the end of the year.
Another, who recently died. 1t is
declared, did not leave enough money
for her burial expenses, because she
was unable to save IL out OF the pit
tance allowed her. She had been
eight years in the public service.
Comparisons are offered with sal
aries paid to clerks in the employ Of
the city and to others, few of whom,
II is pointed out, work as hard and as
faithfully for the public as the aver
age school teacher. She spends her
life imparting knowledge to the chill
dren of others and reaps no reward.
The demand for an increase. whicn
will be made within few days to the
board of education, reyiYes the Wal
ker incident of several weeks ago.
Walker had been instructor in Eng
lish at the high school for several
years and his asking for an increase
in salary led to him becoming sassy"
to the board and his subsequent dis
