For centuries , so far an TVO know , the In-
fllnn was the undisputed owner of this
country , the emperor alike of forest and
ntrcam , the proprietor of lake and plain.
Tlio birds singing Iri the trees , the trout
jumping In the purling brook , the -buffalo
and deer skimming tbo broad waste of
pralrlc all belonged to him. No one denied
his right of title. Ho was the son of nature ,
! > old and reckless , never daunted , over
xoidy to cngago In conflict.
All Is changed. The coming of the whlto
man rung the doathknoll of his freedom.
Ho has hccn knocked about from pillar to
post until now ho occupies but an lufinl-
Icslmal part ot the vast territory that once
belonged to htm wholly and solely.
From the dashing and fearless warrior ot
two centuries ago , ho has 'become a shy
and timid dependent , writes 'Henry N. Prlco
In the Gentleman Farmer , a Chicago maga
zine. Every now and then his nature rebels ,
( his courage returns and ho seeks to reestablish
tablish his dominion , only to bo crushed
ngnln. Is It any wonder that ho constantly
regards the whlto man 'with suspicion and
unwillingly looks upon him as his master ?
Hut progress could not be deterred ; civil
ization was bound to triumph. Who would
now proclaim It wrong that the Indian was
conquered by his white brother ?
A nature trampled upon and an ambition
crushed out of a soul cannot re-assert them-
solvcsr Tlio Indian's "occupation's gone ; "
Ills vocation In life is ended. Is It strange ,
therefore , that the government has been
unable to make a successful farmer ot him ?
"Its ways are essentially primitive. He Is ,
it Is true , civilized In a way , but bo is the
same Indian that ho was a century ago. It
freed from all restraint it would not 'bo long
ibeforo he would bo roving the country as ho
need to do , searching for his favorite deer
mid buffalo.
So long as the race remains extant , the
Indians will probably be wards of tbo gov-
cri.mciit , the country owes them a living ,
nnd they should have It. 'Hut ' the love ot
liberty and progress has stimulated the people
ple to civilize them , to make them Indus
\Jt \ trious , to educate them to provide for them
selves and thus acquire that "blessed Inde
pendence , " so dear to all Americans.
'NOT ' COOD "FARMERS. "
So long ago as 18BC treaties were made
twlth the Sioux Indians , In 'which It was
promised to allow them certain annuities ,
these to bo enlarged as they should glvo in-
crcasc'l attention to agriculture ; but the
government has so far failed In making
farmers of them. There are farmers among
them , but the percentage Is small.
On the Pine Rldgo reservation In South
Dakota the tribe of Indians known as the
Sioux , or Dacotahs , Is located. This reser
vation occupies a great extent of territory
many thousands ot acres but under exist
ing conditions only-small tracts in the river
bottoms are1 adapted to agriculture , and even
there the raising of cereals Is precarious and
unprofitable , owing to the prevalence ot
liailstorms and lack ot rain. With artificial
Irrigation , large areas of this land would , In
a comparatively short time , become produc
tive. With the aid of nn Irrigating system
the hardy cereals 'would grow with luxuri
ance ; without it agriculture there can never
( become a successful Industry.
Evidently , the government has realized
both conditions of affairs the Inadaptability
of the soli to agriculture and the fact that
the Indian la not milted by nature to that
occupation. It lias , therefore , been slow In
moving. It will bo many years before the
American Indian -will become a successful
agriculturist , If ho over does.
LIFE ON A RESERVATION.
Life on an Indian reservation is , however ,
Interesting. For n long time to como thu
Indians will retain their primitive Ideas and
customs ; they will have their dances and
tliolr feasts ; they will wear their blankets
Tlie Pine Ridge reservation Is divided Into
districts , and In every district are several
"camps" of Indlins under the recognized
leadership of a chief. These "camps" are
usually called after the name of the chief ;
such , Tor Instance , ns the camp of Young-
3Ia i-Afrald-of-HIs-Horses. The chief is gen
erally the F ( > okesir.an ot his band. In coun
cils with other bands ho voices the wishes
and ticntlmonts of his camp , and In council
with representatives of the "Great Father , "
as the president of the United Slates Is called ,
the dilof is always called upon to make the
opaiilng address.
Every camp has Its rendezvous , or head
quarters , where the Indians congregate to
hold tlielr councils and feasts. A structure
called an "Omaha" house , serves as a place
in which to hold their meetings. Generally
It Is octagon shaped , and built or rude logs ,
with tbo cracks filled In with mud. There
Is but ono entrance , nnd In tlio roof n largo
opening t > crmlts the escape of smoke.
During ttio year 1891 a Sioux Indian com
mission was sent out by the government to
Htralghten out dllllcultlcs that had arisen
from the outbreak In tlio winter of 1890.
This commission made many pilgrimages to
4ho several camps on the reservation and
liuld numerous councils with the Indians.
The Indians were notified several days In
advance ot the coming of the commission ,
and on Its arrival there wcro always several
hundred Indians encamped In the vicinity
of the "Omaha" house. They came from
miles around iti their wagons or on horeo-
bjick , bringing with them their tepees , und
IirovUlons enough for a stay of several days.
The bucks would not think of pitching
camp , but left this to the squaws.'t while
they sat around and puffed a mixture ot
rod willow bark and tobacco ( the former
being by far the larger Ingredient ) that
jniule everything It came in contact with
smell like well , like an Indian , The squaws
are expel ts at constructing tepees , and can
put up these structures us quickly as our
Boldlcrs can pitch o. tent. The tepees are
riulo contrivances , merely half a dozen sap
lings crossed nt the top , with a covering *
.thrown around them. A good Idea of an
Indian tepee can bo had from the Illustra
tion below ,
COUNCIL OF THK INDIANS.
' A council with Indians In a strange sight.
'An Indian Imo no uao for chairs ; his seat
la on mother earth , and consequently , when
1n council , the members sit around on their
liauncht'H on the ground , In the great
"Omaha" house , pulling .away at their
pipes. One pipe answers for half a dozen
Individuals , each taking a turn nt It , and
It Is passed back , nnd the operation again
llC'CUll.
The natural dlllldcnco of on Indian In the
prewnco ot white men U very marked nt a
council , Io | Is , however , quick to appreciate
Jjumor. and It once ho becomes familiar
rwltli tbo white men and considers them as
friends. It Is easy to draw him Into cou-
, vi > r atlan. The Indian Is not on orator ;
lie Is not eloquent , but occasionally ouo ia
found who can declaim and gesticulate dra
matically. In one of the councils held by tbo
commission woken of , Jtod Shirt delivered
Jilmself ot thin oration : "My friends , there
( was a friend ot ours who visited this agency
liy the name ot Two Strike , Ho belongs to
ate ebud. Ho came right Into this Omaha
liouso and sat where that man is uow , 1K

tlon to Urn. We all raised our hands to the
Great Spirit nuJ said \vo wanted him to re
main with us , nut what did he do ? Ho left
his.reservation without permission and came
here. He Old not roped at the agency , hut
went off Into the wooJs and made trouble ,
and shed blood. I do not think It Is right
for us to Rtralghtcn up the trouble they
have brought U ( > on themselves. Let them
go home to their own reservation where tlioy
belong , and Ret out of It .the best way they
can. My frlond. , we have plowed up our
ground , fenced In our places , the golden
Ernln Is growing , and now the commissioners
como hero and request us to let these Hwo-
bud people remain here.VTiy , tbat Is llkoi
golnR to every hill of corn , Bulling It up by'
itio roots and letting It fall. " Hod Shirt Is
the Indian whom Queen Victoria hoiuc-cd
with an audience , and who. It Is reported ,
dined at Windsor Castle. Ho Is considered
a perfect type of the Sioux Indian , and Is
undoubtedly handsome.
INDIANS AT A FEAST.
It Is , however , at a frost that the Indian
1.1 Interesting and picturesque. Ho Is fond
of delicacies , but lie likes his beef and rice ,
and hard bread and coffee. His naMto Is
especially tickled when lie fills down to a.
stew of common dog. It Is wonderful to BCD
how ho relishes It. Dog meat forms the
principal article oO food at a feast ; no festi
val would bo complete without It.
A largo ( Ira of toga Is built In the center
of the "Omaha" house ; a HIIRO kettle filled
with water Is suspended over the llame , and
the dog , Allccd Into laro chunks. Is thrown
Into the kettle to boll. When It Is thor
oughly done It Is dished out Into tin liana
and eaten with the fingers. Tlio squawa are
always helped first.
During tlio time consumed In the prepar
ation of ttio feast the squaws enliven the
proceedings with music so-called. Some
poet has fold that " .Mush bath charms to
aootho the savage "breast " , " but the kind of
music dealt out iby those squaws IB calcu
lated to Irritate rather than to soothe. They
keep up a low dlngdong humming that
sounds qulto unearthly , relieving It at timea
by beating on an Instrument that Is a cross
between a tin pan and a drum.
A feast Is generally followed by an
"Omahp. " dance. This Is purely a festival
Indulgence , formerly used 'to celebrate vic
tory. The Indians rig themselves In tholr
war costumes , decorate their bodies with
varloua kinds and colors of paint and cover
themselves with as many articles In the
shnpo of beads , ibells and feathers as they
can find. They also decorate their horses.
The dance Is a regular ceremony and Is car
ried out according to a program. They have
a sort of Introductory march a quadrille or
waltz It Is hard to say which , and then sit
down. After a llttlo an Indian 'buck ' , the
hero of the occasion , Is led Into the center
of the circle , bows his acknowledgments
and the dancing and shouting are renewed.
The rest ot the program Is given up to re
counting the exploits of dead hrroes and
singing tholr pralaea , each recitation being
accompanied with dancing and shouting.
This dance Is as harmless as any similar
fcto among will to people. The women have
their "Omahas" as well s the men simple
affairs , for no other purpose than social en
joyment , just as our society ladles Indulge
In pink less and 'balls. ' The ghost dance Is
essentially an Invocation , harmful only In
so far as It tends to oxclto a superstitious
exhilaration and affords designing men an
opportunity to create mischief. There are
cranks and demagogues among Indians as
well as among white people , and In 'times of
excitement or distress they will always have
a following.
SCENES AT A HREF ISSUE.
One of the most Interesting features of
Indian life Is a beef Issue. The Indian must
have his moat. Indian reservations are gen
erally dllllcult of ncccea and chilled beef
cannot bo shipped there and kept. An ab-
batolr system of supplying meat Is imprac
ticable , so the government furnishes the In
dian with his beef in the shnpo of live steers.
The scene of a beef Issue Is the open
prairie. Several miles from any other habi
tation the government con.structs . a corral ,
and twlco a month It Is Blocked with steers.
The corral Is built with 'but ' one opening ,
approached by a narrow enclosure In the
form of a'vcstlbule. From this opening the
steer emerges Into the open prairie. A plat
form is arranged at ono side of the opening
for the agent and his assistants.
Onibeef Issue day the prairie. In the vicinity
of the corral presents a strange and pictur
esque view. Dotted hero and there for mlluo
anouiitt can -bo seen the tepees of the Indians ,
each with the mistress of the house scaled
In front , her papoose slung over her shoul
der. At a beef Isauo the men do all the
work. Perhaps this Is because ithero Is In
it moro real enjoyment for them than work
something 'by ' which their savage instinct is
awaKcnecl and tnelr energy aroused.
When the time comes lor the Issuing of
beef the Indians , mounted on their ponies ,
each family having a representative , align
themselves on either side of the corral open-
Ing. Their faces wear a look of eager ex
pectancy , tholr eyes wander restlessly from
point to point , their guns are held In readi
ness , and their hearts 'beat ' a tattoo agalrst
the sides of their Jackets. A steer Is re
leased from the corral ; ho starta forward
between the line of cavalry and stops for a
moment , sniffing the air as though ho scented
danger , then makes a bold dash for the open
pralrlo boyond. Almost at the same Instant
the harraoguer flouts out a name an Indian
Is gem to dig his spurs Into his pctiy's sides
and leave the line. lib object Is apparent.
With a whoop ho sweeps down upon the
beast , now thoroughly frightened , and
then begins , a mad chasa over the
prairie. The Indian Is back again an
the threshold of Ivls youth ; the hot blood
courses through his veins ; a flush mantle ?
liU check ; ho eces In the fleeing animal be
fore him his dead buffalo ; ho Is "away on
the chase. " The animal realizes Its danger.
Faster and faster they traverse the ground.
The Indian's pony Is fleet-footed and ho la
soon alongside tbo steer. Ho raises his gun
to flro ; the animal wheels and starts off In
another direction. The chase is era again.
It Is n mad race for life on the part of the
beast , but ho Is equal to the task. His pacts
gradually becomes slower ; his breath comes
In gasps ; he falters ; tbo rifle Is poised In
the air for a moment ; a sharp report rings
out and the exhausted animal falls dead ,
IN'HUMAN TREATMENT OF CATTLE ,
Although exciting beyond mcosuro. there
can to no question that this method of
slaughtering beef cattle Is Inhuman In the
extreme. It Is not only a cruelty to the an
imals , but It tends to keep allvo that savage
Instinct In the Indian which the government
Is EO anxious to eradicate.
The process of butchering the animal la
qulto as Interesting as the chase Interest
ing In that It shows the economy ot an In
dian. Ho does not cast aside tho. Intestines ,
nor the bral'u , nor 'the oyca. ' He considers
them the best part of the whole carcass.
AfUr thoroughly cleaning the intestines of
their accumulation of food , ho bangs them In
the oun to dry , and when they are baked
almost to a crisp bo cuts them up and eats
them , sometimes making soup of them. Ho
slices the flesh Into thin strips and bikeo It
In the BUIV In the same manner , This meat
they keep sometimes for several weeks.
Naturally cautious the Indian la an adept
at trading. He Is always ready lor a dicker
whereby ho can become the possessor of
something that will not cost him much. He
Is qulto as fond of money as tbo white man ,
but ho does not llkp It in the shape o ( paper ,
Ho wants "muzza ska , " that Is , white Iron ,
or silver. Ho llkea silver above all other
forms of money , and If his customer cannot
eupply that ho would rather not trade. Ho
Is willing to sell almost anything ho Ima.
provided he gets his price.
When tbo Indian Is not engaged with tils
favorite pastime smoking ho ilnds time to
manufacture articles that find a ready sale
among the white traders. Ho beads mocca.
sliio , knlfe-sbeatis ) and plpo bagtj ; ho carves
pipes out of a soft red etono and hews war
clubs of rock.
A strange feature of the Sioux Indian In
South Dakota Id the apparent dUlucllnatlco
on the part of the young Indiana to become
assimilated. There ore ou the Pine Hldrje
reservation today a great many young men
who have been gircn every opportunity to se-
euro on education. They have been sent to
Carlisle , taugtit to read and wrlto and talk
English fluently , but when they return to the
reservation they positively decline to converse -
verso In English ; they will not even admit
that they can speak English ; they are Just
ai much Indian 04 tboy ever were.
1.AST SIOUX OUTnilEAK.
The laac outbreak among the Sioux lodlani
occurred In too winter ot 1830-31. A ro-
o Ilglous mania developed among them ; they
revived the ghost < ! uncc , pillaged the stock
farms of the white settlers and shed a great
deal of blood. The cause of the disturbance
wi-'s said to bo hunger and a fancy tiiat the
government had not carried out Its promlsw.
The outbreak tcsultod In cno of the fiercest
Indian wars of recent years. Many Indians an. ,
finite a number of soldiers were killed. The
equawa playej an Important part In this war.
At the battle of Wounded Knee u squaw was
found at the bottom of a ravine , her papooo
en her shoulder and an ugly knife grasped
tightly V.i her hand. She was dead ; a bullet
from a soldier's musket had pierced her
ncart. The llttlo ono escaped death and \\ta
' udoptcd by n white family. At this bottle
fell the noted Indlcn chief , Dig Foot , and on
the battle ground the Indians have erected a
monument to mark the spot. It was durlog
this outbreak als that Slain ? null was
killed. HP was one of the prime movers In
the disturbance and fell fighting. Stmngo to
say , lied Cloud did not take an active part
In the war and remained loyal to the govern
ment. The Indian police at I'lno Hldge did
noble work and aided the troops Immeasur
I ably.
' Tcday the Indians on the Pine nidge reser
vation seem to bo contented. They are still
dependent upon the government , but efforts
are bdng made to Induce them to cngago In
farming , which , as already said , U almost
Impossible without en extensive system of Ir
rigation. Let us 'hope , however , that In years
to como the Ir.Jlan will shake off tSie mem
ories of the past , look ouly to the future , and ,
with "Ms shoulder to the wheel , " strive to
take a place among tbo Industrious agricul
turists of this country.

HELENA , Jan. 10. ( Special. ) In less
than twoweeks the largest bounty payment
In the history of the state will have Tieen or.
dcred by the stito Dcard of Examiners and
partially made. As soon as David II , Ham
ilton , clerk of the board , can present bounty
claims to the examiners , they will act upon
them and order the state auditor to draw
warrants for them. It la proposed to distribute
uteby this one payment more than $50,000.
or , to be exact , $50.094 , representing claims
for 1(1,638 ( wolves and coyotes. During the
calendar year of 1897 bounty claims to the
amount of $34,657 were filed in the otlice of
the secretary of state , while only $25,773
were fold on bounty claims. Most of the
money that Is to be distributed In the coming
payment , however , was collected in December
and would have been paid out that month
had It reached the state treasurer's hands
In time to become available.
The bounty department has been flooded
of late with Inquiries from owners of bounty
claims , who expected a payment last month.
The correspondence baa been so great that
It was Impossible for the clerk to answer
all letters , but In a few days all occcslDii
for Inquiries will hive ceased to exist. Somo.
time next week the allowed claims of the
bounty holders will be In the hands of the
state auditor , who will draw warrants for
their payment.
Since the present bounty law was enacted
February 23 , 1893 , the state has paid out
$113,103 In bounty claims , or less than half
of the claims filed. Up to January 1 , last ,
there had been Hied under the new law
claims to the amount of $228,489. Every
mall brings to a few claims to the secretary
of state's office , and even with the Increased
revenueu for the bounty funds , the amount
of claims continues to keep far ahead of thu
fund.
As much value la placed by the state upon a
little sneaking coyote as upon a big fierce grey
wolf , $3 bounty being paid for the evidence
of the death of cither within the state. Dur
ing the year recently ended , 22,107 coyotes
wcro killed and 0,112 wolves , or , at least ,
certificates of death wore filed In the. sec
retary of state's office. The largest number
of bounty claims cahio from Chotoau county
during 1S97 , while tlie least number came
from Itavllli county. The aggregate amount
of the claims of Chateau county was $17,700 ,
while Ravtllt county only sent In claims for
one wolf and twenty-three coyotes , or $72 In
all. Ouster county presented claims to the
amount ot $1G,2CO. Moro wolves were killed
In Custer county than In Chateau county ,
but many more coyotes met their death ia
Choteau county than In Ouster county. Lewis
and Clarke counties sent In claims during
the year for seventy-three wolveu and 193
coyotes. ' I

HELENA , Jan. 10. ( Special. ) A meeting
of the state capital commission was held hero
last week , largely devoted to a discussion of
the possibility of disposing of the bands and
tbo advisability of communicating repu
table architects with a view of ascertaining
what can bo done In the way of constructing
a smaller and lew ostentatious building than
the old board tried to build. It was decided
to open correspondence with a number of
capable and reliable architects and Ilnd out
whether a building that will conform with
the state's present needs can be built for not
to exceed J27G.OOO. With this end In view ,
Governor Smith and Deputy State Examinee
E. J , Kennedy , who was appointed clerk pro
tern , wcro authorized to prepare a circular
letter and mall copies to reputable architects
to ascertain prices on plans and specifications
for a modest structure. The board decided
that a building with about sixty-live olllcci ,
Including thn two legislative halls , would be
amply sufficient for the present needs of the
state. The replies that are received Tram
ttiesu letters will be considered at a meeting
to bo held February 8 , at which time some
definite conclusions may bo arrived at.

I30ZEMAN. Mont. , Ja'i } . 10. ( Foeclal. ) The
sheriff has brought to this city , from h'.a
ranch about fifteen miles from hero , James
Darils , who was tornd in a frozen condition.
It Is supposed that Dartls wae taking some
wood to hU cabin and somehow fell and wcs
unable to get up again. He was insensible
whi'n found and Is still in that condition.
There are but few people in IJozcni"ii : or In
the county of GalMtla for 'that ' matter , who
do not , by eight at leost , know old Jimmy
Dartls , the "miser of Gallatln valley. " Tais
old man , who looks to be CO years old or
more , has mortgagee on a score or more
ranches In the valley , and hold ? the absolute
tKlo to several farms and other real cnato ,
and Is reputed to bo worth $50,000 or moro
he pays taxes on ? SO,000. Ills familiar figure
Is often to be seen' on the streets of Doze-
man clad In an old brown coat , worn out
twenty years ago , which hp secures to his
perron with old nalle and pieces of rope ; a
pair of pants which were probably made
when Montana was first discovered , and from
which the buttons have Iccg since parted
company ; his feet incased In old gunny sacks ,
over which are drawn an old shoe and a
boot , with a portion of the leg gone ; shirt
he has none , 'but In Its stead a remc rat of
an undershirt , which he 1iad picked up from
some gorbago pile , and his headgear , winter
and summer , consists of an old cloth cap
from which the original color has been gone
for , lo , these many years. Where he comes
from no ono knows. That he came here in
the early 60s and has ever lived a miser's
life Is about all that la known of his life. A
few years ago he used to drive a tcarii of
horse ? ono tig ono and a little cayuse ,
which he hitched to his old wagon with
pieces of rope , old straps and bits ol baling
wlro , all picked up on his journey around
"the " country In quest of the almighty dollar
duo as Interest on his mortfjagcs. Hla bed
ding ccnslatfl of teveral old quilts , or rather
pieces of quilts , picked up in the..alleys and
back yards , from the rubbish hcapj , and arc
remarkable for their ( llthlJiejiv His food ,
when he cats , which Is es seldom as pcsslble ,
Is a piece of bacon and some Hour mixed with
a little water and grease , and cooked In 'the
frying pan after the bacon had becin taken
out , the whole washed down with pure
water , The only extravagance old Jimmy In.
dulgcs In Is whisky , and lie Is often found
In a state of Intoxication cy the city police ,
who promptly borrow a wheelbarrow and
take him to the city Jail , After paylog his
tine the next morning he generally departs
for some of his country residences , bemoan
ing his hard fate and mourning the $5 fine.
His only aim In life seems 'to ' be the ac
quisition of money In some way. At his best
he Is not the kind of a man whom onn would
point out as being the "fojrcst work of God. "

AMUSEMENTS.
Mr. Sothern's engagement , which blda fair
to bo all too short , as It has been too long in
comkip , opened uiisplc-lously lust night at
Uoyd's before a notable tuidlence , with a
performance of Anthcny Hope's play , ' The
Adventure of Lady Ursula. "
We iiave not lacked the eighteenth century
comoJy hitherto , either the real or the Imi
tation. Indeed , n specimen was presented hero
not Icug ago which , being avowedly n fol
lowing after Oeorg.'cn comedy In general ,
showed Itself u thought too plainly to bo
modeled upon certain well known classics of
that epoch In particular , and w.is lilted and
enjoyed cievorthcles3 as presented by Mr.
Crane. "The Adventure ot Lady Urnula"
copies no one and nothing. It would be no
better If It did , for It 'la ' gcoj' ' croiigh of It
self. The clever writer who curtails his full
name In signing himself Acithony Hope puts
this forth as his first play written unaided.
Ho places his scene far back In the reign
ol the first Gecrge , when the Hanovorlars
hadxjot Irog ruled In 'DrIUIn ' , when the "tea
cup tomes ot patch and hocil" yet Kugercd
and when audiences at the play did not stare
unseemly at parties taking needed refresh
ment In the boxes , nnd Into
this atmosphere ho bis Infused a
d-jsh ol that romanticism In which
he revels always. The result ia a right merry
play of the prtciks of two madcap girls , one
performing , the ether aiding anl abetting
the adventure which Is the Mieme of the
drama. Talk of dueU there Is a plenty , but
no hcslllc sworda are drawn and no pvvdcr
burnt , only the duel of hearts goes on and
Is happily concluded according to the code
governing such mutters.
So excellent a play cculd not .have . fallen
tate moro competent hands than those of
Mr. Sothern and kU company. The star ,
ciiicu ills last appearaacc here , flia.3 grown
to first magnitude among the luminaries
which sliloe In the firmament of the romantic
drama. T.io role cf Sir George Sylvcotcr re
quires the exercise of more and higher powers
than there brought hito play by Hie swash
buckler parts In which Mr. Sothern recently
won fame , ' .sid without disparagement to hla
unquestioned ability In other direction. It
may bo said that In Uls ho 'Is cffering In
breadth , subtlety , nicety of delicate nhadj.ig
and coloring one of the finest performances
ever seen on Uio local stage.
That 'MIsa ' Hamad , detained In Chicago by
an illrie , was not in the east WI.M a disap
pointment to many In the auif'lence. ' Her
lilace , however , was worthily and quite ac
ceptably filled by SUM Anglln , who played
the part ot the Lady Ursula in a way whlcn
MiEh Harned herself would find it difficult to
t > cttcr. When It Is known that one araumed
the rold last night for only the second Hme
icr performance will seem even more than
commendable. T.iere r.re Inflections In her
vobco and little turrs In her manner whl.-h
remind cno strongly of Julia Marlowe In such
roles as Constance. Hut she has a charm
M her own and one looks forward with plccs-
jiit anticipation to n dn3 her as Meg In
'Lord Chumley" tonight.
Other well known members ot the support-
ng company are t s veteran Owen Fawcctt ,
Rowland IJuckstone , 'Mortc'ii ' Selton an ! Hc-
jecca Warren. The piece Is uumptiiously
nounted , the thrco Interiors represented
jclng models of quiet elegance and correct
ness.
"Lord Chumley" will be presented tonight

warrt company pMyod "kynwood" to uuothcr

Yesterday afternoon at the First Congre
gational church the musical department of
tbo Womau'ti club give Its twonty-nlntli
musical , under the skilful direction of Mrs.
J. M. Metcalf. The performance wan free
to club members and It Is safe to say that
every ono of the COO wo * present.
The first number upon the program was
a sonata In G minor , composed by the Nor
wegian , Grieg , and played iby Mine. Muonto-
fcrlng and .Mr. Adelirunn. The nonata opon.i .
with a short Introduction In O minor In 2-4
time , Lento DoJororo , and Introduces a very
difficult cadenza for the violin. This Is fol
lowed by n short allegro movement In G
major which serves 03 a sort of Interlude
between the Introduction and the real llnst
movement oj the sonata. This Is un allegro
vivace In G major In 3-1 time and I * full cf
dinicultlrc. The principal theme Is synco
pated at the second count and the piano
part Includes numerous rythmlc complica
tions. The character of certain portions Is
almost that of improvisation , so detached
are the phrases and BO uncertain the trend
of the composition. The socqnd movement
la an allegretto tramjulllo 'beginning In IS
minor. The theme Is much llko a Nor
wegian folk-song and la very tcujer and
beautiful. This Is followed 'by ' a mlddlu jurt
lit E major which contains a number of
bird-like passages that glvo It a decidedly
pastoral character. Tlio number cornea to a
close with a repetition of the first theme
In H minor. The third and list movement
Is an allegro animate In G major In 3-1 tl.no
and , as In the flri't movement , the melody
U syncopated on tbo nccond beat. It U very
much like a broken scale varlagatod Into
triplets and produces a brilliant effect. The
piano part 1-7 again very difficult and
rythmlcally exacting. The whole eiidn In a
presto and some pizzicato work fcr Hie
violin. Taken as a whole tlio sonata U a
great work , but It Is very -uneven In Ha
clalmy to commendation. In the first place
ono can nnd no reason why It la called In
"G minor. " Only the Introduction Is In that
key and both the first and last movements
are In G minor. No cno will deny to a father
thn right to name-hla own child what ho
will und oo fault can hardly bo found with
Grieg for tills arbitrary exercise of that
right. There U at times a wolrd chancier
to the music that Is common to the great
Norwegian ; this Is especially noticeable In
tliu rcconJ movement. It 'a to'bo hoped that
thU sonata may -lie heard frequently , for no
comprehensive conception can bu formed of
It on a. single hearing , It waa remarkably
well rendered iby .Mine. Muer'tcferlng ' and
Mr Adolmann , Mine , Muentofcrlng at flrat
ruffered dllghtly frsm nervousness , iiut she
soon overcame it anil nlavnl with a daih
and flre that were most creditable. Mr.
Adelmann was thoroughly at homo In the
con&tn and K VP hl. part of It on nrtlMlo
Interpretation. In hla solo The Prlno Song
from "Dlo Molsterslngcr" ho was not no
successful and took the fcompo much too
alow. Mine. Muenteferlng contributed a
group of little gems , compoafrd by Grieg , s
n piano solo nnd displayed great delicacy ot
touch.
Mlsa Gertrude Kountso sang the "Invoca
tion" by d'Hardelot and was at her best.
The song Is rather dramatic and her full ,
strong voice brought out IU beauties In such
a way as to secure for her a most cnthuslftii-
tlo recall. The nccompinlment was for
piano , hnrp and violin and was well played
by Miss Loulso Holtorf. Ml * * Wllhelmlna
Lowe ami Mr. Adolmann.
Miss Jefslo Dickinson s ng "I Love Thco , "
"Tho Violet" and "The Swan , " thrco songs
also by Orlcg , and Interpreted them most
artistically. Her voice has a sweetness that
everyone I ? forced to admire. Had she ni
"Tho Swan" first nml "I Love Thoo" last
the effect would have been more In keeping
with < ho character1 of the songs. It Is a very
good pi AH to build up a climax rather than
to start with ono , especially If the end Is to
bo quiet. She was recalled and received a
duo of American llcautlra with stems as
tall as herself. The program ended with the
Peer Gttnt Suit iby Grieg , played 'by Mine.

A special car arrived at the Union depot
last evening from the City of Mexico bearing
Mrs. J. II. Hnmpaoti , wife of the well known
railroad builder , and Mrs. Wilson , mother
of Mrs. Hampson , says the Denver News.
Mrs. Wilson will remain In Denver during
the winter , Joining her Don , who several
montliR ago entered Into the law business
with George L. Hodges. Mrs. Hampson ex
pects to meet her husband in two or three
weeks , when ho Is due to arrive from the
south.
The Mexican , Cuernnvaca ft Pacific rail
way , of which Colonel Hampson Is builder ,
has headquarters In this city. The ro.id has
been In progress of construction for several
yeara nnd It Is now thought It will be com
pleted to the Pacific cocut within the next
thrco years. The road la loakcl upon r.s one
of the most Important rallwnv enterprises
projected In Mexico since thn Mexican Cen
tral was completed. President Diaz lias
taken great Interest in HIP road from Its In
ception and the president of the republic
was Instrumental in making thp solcr-Hon of
Colonel Hampson ns the builder of thp road.
i.V few dnyn ago a grand celebration wna held
In the old city ot Cuernavaca In honor of DIP
advent of thp railway. President Plus and
his cabinet , the foreign representatives at
the capital and leading Mrxlr-an and Amer
ican citizens made the trip of eighty miles
over the line to Cuernavaca , where thp party
waa received with distinguished honors. At
the banquet which followed President Diaz
paid a high compliment to Colonel Hompson
nnd the energy and ability lie had displayed
In pushing the construction of the maznin-
cent enterprise. Colonel Hampson la a bash
ful man nnd ho was so completely overcome
by the applause with which his unnio was
greeted that ho was unnble to reply.
Ho learned the art of difficult railway con
struction In the state of Colorado and the
responsibility which he now has upr n his
hauds la said to be fully ns arduous ns r.ny
ever undertaken In the mountain passes of
Colorado. At one portion of the line It was
necessary for the engineers to make a detour
in order to avoid an Impossible grade. The
( ll.stnnrp In a straight line to thp point at
which the engineers aimed Is eMitrcn miles.
In that distance the road has a des-ciit of
1,500 feet. The special train carrying Prca-
Idont Diaz and Ma party , which was pulled
over the grade by thrco engines , was the
most elegant train over seen In Mexico , Two |
of the special cars , known ns the presidon- .
tlai cars , had just been iccelvcd from one |
of the shops Intha. United SJatcs and worn j '
christened before the train left the City of
Mexico. It Is claimed that the cars are the
finest ever turned out In America and were i
built rcrardlcca of cost. |
The projectors of the Cuernavaca line ex
pect to advertise It to the utterinrat parts
cf Ibo earth on account of the sublime
beauty of the scenery through whMi the i
route passes. The completed road will glvo
Mexico the advantage of an cast and west
line across the republic and promises to
npcn up a largo country , at the present time
almcst unkoinvn to the world.
