A CHEAT SCENIC PLAY.
"His Natural Life' an Australian
Play at Alpha Hall Last Nignt.
"Ilia Natural Life" waa produced at
the oer house lint evening. Compli
mentary notices regarding thin play were
in both Sun Francisco and Portland ex
changes and they were deserving. Mr.
Welty and Holloway of the utafT made
great promises regarding the scenery and
play nnd in no way did they uiinrcpre
sent it. The piece is distinctively an
Anglo-Amtralian story dealing in home
scene in the British I -lea and the anti
IKjiles, and affording the scenic artist and
mechanist great scope for their art.
Tliy have most certainly availed them
selres of every opportunity to make the
play affective. The play in itself is
essentially a domestic love story, dealing
with the transportation of one Richard
Devine, who to save the good name of
his mother from scaudil takes upon him
self the guilt of n crime committed by
unothcr but which strong circumstances
point to him as the culprit.
During hi exile he meets, loves and
renders singular service to the comman
dants daughter who subsequently suc
cumbs to her love for him. The story
is of the most intense human interest,
abounding in thrilling, startling, and in
genious climakes with a literal admix
ture of mirth and pathos,. Of the scen
ery heavy s t follows heavy set and all
are so grand and imposing it is hard to
tell which is the best. All are finely
finished. Mr. Chas. Maubury is a manly,
handsome actor whom all admire, and as
one watchca with changing emotions the
trials of the noble Euglish lad so vividly
portrayed he cannot help but involun
tarily follow the majority and applaud.
Miss lloyd, us Sarah Purfoy, gives an in
telligent interpretation of the adventuress
and does it most creditably. The sup
porting company comprises many people
none of whom can be found fault with.
Mr. Tyrrell, the author, has the stage
producted uuder his supervision and
great credit is due him for the admirable
manner in which he Las staged his play.

Canon City, Col., Dec. 4. At 5 o'clock
this morning twenty armed men succeed
ed in affecting an entrance to the jail,
overpowered the sheriff and tore down
the steel cage in which Wetherill was
confined. The prisoner broke up his bed
and with a portion of the frame knocked
several of the mob down. Threh shots
were fired by members of the party and

Geneva. III., Dec.5 The trial of the
Chicago Burlington, A Quincy dynamiters
began here today, Judge Wilson presiding
defendants' counsel did not arrive from
Chicago until 11 o'clock, and when the
case was called they moved to strike out
either of twenty 8'X counts which charge
conspiracy or the two alleging that the
defendants contributed money for the
purchase of dynamite with which to de
stroy the property of the railroad com
pany. This was promptly overruled, and
the selection of jury began, and when

The Siamese apo is said to bo in great
request among Siamese merchants
as u cashier in their counting houses.
Vast quantities of base coin obtain
circulation in Siam, and the faculty of
discrimination between good money
and bad would appear to bo iossessed
by these gifted monkeys in such an ex
traordinary degree of development
that no human being, however care
fully trained, can comicte with them.
The cashier ape meditatively puts into
his mouth each coin presented to him
in business payments, and tests it with
grave deliberation. His method of
testing is regarded in commercial cir
cles as infallible; and, as a matter of
fact, his decision is uniformly accepted
by all parties interested in the trans
action. London Tid Bits.

to own up, and there should surely be a
