OUR THEATRE.

The Amateur Dramatic Association
cave another performance on last
Wednesday evening, on which occa-
sion was presented "Black-Eyed SUI
SAN and Handy Andy" two beauti-
ful dramas. As usual, the theatre
was crowded to its utmost capacity,
although snow storm had ragged all
day and the streets were very slushy.
Several were in attendance from the
other side of the Basin. The plays
we're we'll cast, and the actors were
frequently greeted with hearty APP
pause. Idaho City is the only place
in the Territory that has permanent
theatrical organization. In the first
plav r. A. Goodliffe, as civilian"
and Mrs. Sue Hill as ''Black-Eyed SUI
san," we'll supported by the troupe,
moved the audience to tears. The
last scene was changed from a hang
ing to shooting. The audience were
held in affecting suspense when Will
liam was blindfoltled and placed be-
fore six sailors to receive the penalty.
When the stern order came from the
Captain, MAKE ready" Take aim,"
the proof suddenly came that William
was not in His Majesty's service and
the laws were not violated when he
struck the Captain, who, also, was not
in the service of the Government at
the time. Prolonged applause fol-
lowed the order to shoulder. arms,"I
and the happy meeting of William and
Susan
In Handy Andy" 4. C. Bomar, as
Andy, kept the audience almost con-
stantly in an uproar. He could east
iY pass himself Oh as a young man
Just from the Gould Sod," he has the

som, as Mad Nance, played her part
'operfection. The only drawback to
the troupe is that the building is not
large enough to accommodate the
audiences comfortably. They have
an extensive wardrobe, and splendid
scenery, and are prepared to put on
almost any play they may desire.

THE return of Lord Beaconsfeld to
London, on the 10th, was made the oc-
casion of Il general demonstration, in
which leading men of both parties par
ticipated. From Charing Cross to
Downing Street places of business were
closed, the buildings were gaily deco
rated, and the streets were filled with
crowds of people, who greeted the sue
cessful Plenipotentiary with enthusiastic
cheers. After reaching his residence,
Lord Beaconsfeld, in response to re-
peated calls from the crowd, appeared
at the window and thanked them for
his reception. He said Lord Salisbury
and himself had brought back peace,
but peace, he hoped, with honor, such
as would satisfy the sovereign and the
country.
Lord Beaconsfield made state
ment in the House of Lords, on the 18th,
regarding the policy of the English rep
resentatives in the Berlin Congress, and
explaining the operations of the Treaty
He said that by the setting aside OF the
Treaty of San Stefano, a menace to the
peace of Europe had been remov-
ed, threatened injury to the
British Empire terminated, and the
Sultan repossessed of two-thirds of his
dominions. Regarding the Austrian
occupation of Bosnia, which was earn
estly supported by the British repre-
sentatives, he said that it was sanction
ed solely as protection for Turkey,
who was utterly unable to
subdue the anarchical tenden-
cies of that and adjacent provinces.
The Anglo-Turkish convention, I'M
der which England had occupied the
Island of Cyprus, placed England in
position where she could protect, if
necessary, her Oriental empire. The
object of the convention was not merely
or chiefly military, but to produce peace
and tranquility, so as to open up to the
wealth and enterprise of Europe what
is really another continent. In
reply to Lord Beaconslield, Lord
Derby said he generally approved of
what had been done in Europe, but
questioned the value of Cyprus. Earl
Granville thought that the interests of
Greece had been disregarded, and also
believed that Cyprus would not add to
the power of defending the Suez Canal.
The debate was attentively listened to
by the Princess of Wales and other men,
bers of the Royal family.
Gladstone has made 4 speech
arraigning the Cabinet and denouncing
the Berlin Treaty. The convention with
Turkey he calls an insane covenant,
which has alienated the friendship of
all foreign powers. In conclusion he
expressed the hope that the Ministry
would soon be judged by an appeal to
the country.

SECRETARY SCHURZ, in recent in
terview, says the disclosures of fraud at
the Crow Creek and other Indian agen-
cies have been brought about entirely
through the Investigations of the pres.
ent Indian Bureau; that the irregulari-
ties in some instances are the growth OF
wears, and that in no instance where
theft and peculation have been proven
to exist has the offender been spared.
The Secretary says that the humani-
tartan policy of getting the Indians to-
gether upon reservations and making
them self-supporting as far as possible
by agriculture, stock-raising, etc., is
very difficult to carry out, but may be
accomplished in time if not only the
Government but white citizens will treat
the Indians fairly. The continual con-
flicts between the interests of Indians
and the greed of white people, surround
ing and crowding between them, pre-
sent problem of difficult solution, and
no mere change in the organization and
control of the Indian service can dis
pose Of it.

He Wonders How Whey Got
There.

Mr.. Henry M. Cowles, Secretary to
the School Board, on Wednesday night
extracted from his right arm, near the
shoulder, needle one and q half inches
long. He is unable to explain its pres
ence there, but its appearance indicated
that it had been there some time. 1t
gave no evidences of its presence until
Wednesday evening, when Mr.. Cowles
experienced Il sudden sharp pain in the
muscles of the right arm near the Shout
der, which he at first supposed arose
from boil. Soon after he examined
the part and found the needle protrud-
ing about half way and extracted it, the
eye coming first. About two years ago,
MIR. Cowles states that while walking on
the street, he felt terrible pain in his
right foot, and being unable to proceed
further, sat down on neighboring step
and drew from the side of his foot q
small needle. He has no recollection
of having swallowed paper of needles
at any time, but is not prepared to say
that there are not a number now work
ing their way through his Diaphragm
