Manager Rhodes will offer an unusual
attraction on the 26th and goth in the
person Of the beautiful and talented
Miss Jane Coombs, when she will ap-
pear as Mabel Renfrew in the drama of
''Pique," and as Fanny Ten Eyck in
the society drama of divorce" The
name of this lady is a sufficient guar
antee Of the rich treat In store for
Cheyenne's theater-goers. The Denver
Tribune speaks as follows:
A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted Miss Coombs and her excellent
company at the Tabor Grand last even
ing. The play moved smoothly and
evenly and to the intense interest Of the
audience. As a contemporary has well
said, ''Piquen has material enough for
two or three dramas. The work is per-
feet of its kind. In producing a play
of great power, Mr. DAILY has succeeded
beyond his contemporaries. The first
with fashionable people, and with
everything suggestive of ton. 1t is in
the next act W. have, by far, the best
work Of the drama, work of positive
excellence, and revealing the finest dra-
matte instincts. 1t represents a Puri-
tan Massachusetts, home, with its rigid
virtues and yet beneficial sway. 1t is
the home of Matthew Standish [Mr. j.
P. Keefel, "whose will was law" and
how far that seemingly announcement
affects the economy of the household
will be best understood from the words
of Aunt Dorothy, who says: at was
a good will, brother, and a gentle law"
In the two scene In the Massachusetts,
home we have all that is best in the
new drama, the finest representations
and opposite qualities of character and
most sincere aspects of emotion, and
the finest qualities of comedy. After
that we are transferred to the regions
Of melo-drama, with a new story, new
interests, and the same chief person
ages, and, for a conclusion, we get back,
once more. into the realms of fashion,
and, all difference reconciled, naughty
spirits chastened and subdued, and
crooked ways made straight, love ends,
TO use the words descriptive of the final
tableau, where love began. The pres
entation last evening was an excellent
one. Miss Coombs is a remarkable
actress. she was 30 when the writer
was a lad. That she now can fill a role
SO difficult and versatile to the ~accepta-
ton of so critical an audience as that
of last evening, stamps her as a clever
artist. All in all, "Plque" was admir-
ably dressed, a credit due to the house,
and excellently presented, creditable to
Miss Coombs and her company, and
'twere useless to predict a successful
engagement.
During the engagement of Miss
Coombs the management desire to an
nounce that the free list will be en-
tirely suspended.

Mr.. Minis Hamlet is undoubtedly
the finest of the three representations
he has given here. 1t is more adapted to
his capacities than either of the others,
and he seems to enter more thoroughly
into its spirit. Not so finely finished
as Booths, not 30 scholarly as Bar
rett's, 1t is yet a well conceived and
evenly sustained ~presentain. Barring
a slight tendency to rant, a fault which
no actor oyercomes except by persistent
application and close study, there is lit
tie fault to be faund with him. In the
scene where Hamlet denounces his
mother, Mr.. Min approaches greatness,
and he makes it, as it should be, the
feature of the play. The merits OF his
acting were so many and the errors SO
fsw and inconsequential that an elabo-
rate Decentralization Is Unnecessary.
Should Mr. Mills return here he would
receive a hearty welcome. The support
acted better than on either of the pre-
ceding nights, aud Mrs. Britton as the
Queen, Mr.. Burroughs us Laerres and
Mr.. Rainford as Polonius call for spe-
cial commentator.

why He stays West.

One of the old timers here delights to
tell new corners from New England of
his first visit home after coming out
here. He says: "When 1 FIRST came
out here 1 was a kid. Well, 1 staid a
while, struck it lucky, and soon had
about a couple of thousand dollars
ahead. About that time l began to
feel as if l wanted to see paw N maw'
so 1 started back home. OF course
everybody WAS glad to see me and l
was a hero amongst the young fellows.
Naturally l wanted to deepen the i'm
preston, so to show my liberality. at
the first convenient opportunity, 1 in
vited a crowd Of them up to take a
drink. One took soda water, another
lemonade, another said he wasn't very
thirsty, guessed he'd take a plate of
pork and beans, another thought he'd
indulge In a piece of squash pie, and
so 1t went through the whole category;
there wasn't one of them that had the
nerve to take a nip of straight whiskey.
Well, 1 staid there until spring, and
by that time they had me broke with
their cussed squash pie and baked
beans. 1 left for the west and haven't
been back SINCE" If the gentleman
in question should visit New England
now, the probabilities are that he
wouldn't find much difficulty in get
ting people enough to drink whisky
with him.

The cattle men Of the west seem des-
tined to become the great wealth
princes of the world. They find q
range already made for them and fur
nishel by the government. Their pos
sessions are increased and the value of
their property is doubled by the pro-
ceses of nature, while they are spend
ing their days and nights far away,
giving no thought or care to the indus
try in which they are engaged. The
railroads have always been exception
ally kind, even with the pool in exist
ence, 80 kind, indeed, that rates of
transportation have been made SO low
that cattle grown in Colorado can be
bought as cheaply in New York as in
Denver. Now, to cap the climax, it is
announced that the owners OF the
western herds have entered into a con-
tract to break a railroad pool east of the
Missouri river, on an agreement that
the particular road in question shall
lower the already low rate to cattle
shippers as its part of the compact,
while the cattlemen, as compensation,
agree to send all their live stock over
this line. The interest is a big one,
and it is natural that 1t should begin to
exercise a telling influence in the af-
fairs Of the business world.-Denver
Times.

Senator James G. Fair, of Nevada.
is in the city on his way to his western
home after an extended eastern trip,
which directly folio VS. a European tour.
In conversation at his hotel yesterday
he said: when did L first go into the
work of the mines? Well, 1t was a
long, long time ago, away back inl'49.
l went from the states to California
soon after roy arrival in this country,
having come from Belfast, Ireland, my
native town, In 1S43. Yes; 1 took the
same old route as the rest did-over-
land. A party of us started out with
our horses and goods, and when we
reached the mormon country We traded
off our horses to the mormons for nice,
fat oxen, with which we made the rest
of the trip. There were a lot of 6ne
fellows along-pleasant, pleasant times
we had-nice, sociable fellows, 1 can
tell you. When 1 reached California,
In the autumn of 40, I went to work
mining on the Feather river. How
uiU . "ohoBo ~ Nch, IOu SEQ,
everything was new out there; there
were no laws established, and it was a
wild, wild country. The miners seemed
to be honest with one another-whole-
hearted chaps they were, ready to share
a dinner with a man If he needed 1t any
time. We mined along the streams
wherever fancy led us. Some of the
party with whom l went out were law
yers and others had other lines of bust
ness, and, when we got into mining,
some of them stuck to the mines and
others wandered off into their old or
new lines of work. Good times, thenP
Yes, sir; they were." And the great
capitalists eyes wandered off on a trip
out o. doors, through the mellow In
dian summer haze, as he leaned back
in his big chair and said half to him
self, as if musing over the by-gone
past: eyes, those we're pleasant, pleas.
ant days, happy days-I sometimes
think the happiest days of my life.
"After l had been in California a
long time" continued the senator, 81
went to Nevada, reaching there In 1860,
and | have been In both states a great
deal ever since. Nevada as a state? 1
think Nevada has a very fine class of
people, indeed. Mining end stock
raising are among our leading indus
tries. The one does not interfere with
the other, for there may be mining un-
der the very ground that is used for
stock raising. Our population is made
up of people from all over the country.
and they form a fine lot of citizens.
California and Nevada are so closely
allied in interests that that there is
hardly anything in the two states
which separates them but laws and
political matters. IndiansP But little
trouble from them; they are generally
peaceable-that is, with some watch
ing. Polygamy in NevadaP No, sir;
l don't think 1t would ever be looked
upon with favor in my state. 1t is not
practiced, to my knowledge, in Ne
yada, though there may be some who
do practice It,. The mormons, from
what 1 know of them, seem like a very
peaceable and industrious people."-

From Mr.. William Hill, of Corlett,
who is in the city, we leard that Road
Supervisor Downey is doing good work
on the road from Cummins City into
the North park. He has five men at
work and is putting that ~thoroughfare
in splendid shape. He has been at work
near Corlett the last few days, and will
CROSS the Colorado line on his way into
the park very shortly. From the pre-
sent weather indications this work was
commenced one too soon, and certain
ly no better man to accomplish 1t could
have been found than the major
