Last night George @. Min appeared
at Crawford's opera house, as Bertuc-
clio, in Tom Taylor's master piece,
''The Fools Revenge"
After Bertuccio, there can no longer
remain any question as to Mr.. Minis
ability. His Hamlet and his Richelieu
are the we'll known characters of all
legitimate actors, who are conscienti-
Gus in their work; differing in some
respects, 1t is true. as each one stamps
his conception more or less with his
own individuality, but his B%ertuccio is
a mastery work of his own, full of
genius and Of inspiration.
Dir. Minis acting in the difficult role
is a careful study, and Of the three
characters he has given US, Bertucoio
stands out alone and absorbs tue actor
in the intense realism with which he
endows It.
The story is a sad one-full Of tears
and pathos and disappointment. 1t is
founded IN Victor Hugo's lie Roi

life of a hunchback, Bertuccio.

wife of Guido. By a curious turning
of events he ANONYMOUSLY aids in the
abduction of his own daughter, which
he discovers and meets his death in an
attempt to rescue her.
There is a sorrow lurking away be-
hind his ready wit, and his merriest
moods are when he is trying to cover
up his despair. The climax was reach

in the ecstacy of satisfied revenge when
he unwittingly betrays his own daugh.

There Ia a general impression that
the Union Pacific railroad should be
'ballasted" before any attempts be
made at faster time. The truth re-
specting this Is, that from Cheyenne to
flum Greek 1t Is one of the best roads
for fast running in the United States.
The gravel under the ties affords a
strong and at the same time elast
bed, which answers all the require
ments for giving security to fast travel
and heavy freights. a mile q minute
is frequently made between here aud
Sidney for the PURPOSE of making up
lost time. or late the passenger trains
have not been on time. which indicates
no lack OF ability on the part Of tile
road, but is explained simply In the
fact that at this season of the year the
passenger are subordinate to the nu-
merous cattle trains which crowd the
road going eastward. We're 1t not so
these trains would soon be msssed at
different poiots and delays disastrous
both to the owners of the cattle and the
cattle themselves would occur. The
whole business Of cattle transportation
is dictated by interest and humanity.
The road east of Plum Creek
needs ballasting and the company
will soon commence work for having a
long stretch under a thorough good
bed. This is a necessity, seeing that a
rivalry will soon exist-if not already
existing-between the several roads for
the shortest time to the Pacific coast.
In a conversation with Superintendent
Deuel.. aLEADER reporter learned that
the present management Of two mail
and passenger trains per day each way
is not likely to be changed. The trade
seems to demand 1t, more especially
since there is such a press of emigra-
ton towards the Pacific coast.
Portland is now reached by means of
the Oregon Short Line and Utah Gen.
trail In exactly the same time that San
Francisco is reached. So it is clear
that all emigration to the northwest
via the Union Pacific will go over the
new outlets. Time and expense have
been greatly reduced. The Central Pa
cihc is doubtless seeking another out
let, or, rather, feeder by means of an
other line through Wyoming to meet
the Sioux City. which is working its
way to the heart of our territory.
Those who live to see it will lind that
q few years more will bring forth great
railroad activity from rival lines in
this territory, especially now since it
has been demonstrated that a large
amount of wealth is awaiting develop
ment.

In pleasing contrast to the stilted
formality which characterizes metro
politan Journalism is the breezy fresh
ness and abandon which clusters
around, and hangs over, and shines
through, and permeates, as it were, the
personal paragraphs of the average
Wyoming weekly. Here is a sample
from the Evanston Chieftain:
"Who was that pretty blonde at the
skating rink, with a lovely evening
shawl OF Rlbatros cloth, delicately tint
ed with a deep border of crocheted
shells, and the monogram worked In
silk in one corner, and who carried on
the Irritation with John PotterP"
Mark the elaborate description with
which the possibility Of mistake in the
person referred to is guarded against,
and the reckless familiarity with which
public attention is called to the fact
that John Potter was actually flirting
with her. Note the fact that the lady's
makeup is 30 minutely described that
she cannot wear that shawl for a whole
year without giving herself dead away.
Cruel mani
Again, note the courageous openness
Of the editor of the Sweetwater Ga
zette, who rises with all the dignity of
a Scotch magistrate or a hardshell Bap-
tist minister, and administers the fol
lowing rebuke:

SUNLIGHT ALL THE WAY


[Harper's weekiy.1
'iGood-by, Jennie; the road is long,
And the moor is hard to cross;
But well you know there Is danger
In the boys and marshy moss.
But keep In the foot path, Jennie,
Let nothing tempt you to stray;
Then you'll get safely over it,
For there's sunlight all the way.
Sunlight all tho wny;
So never you fear,
Keep a good heart, dear, - 9
For THERE'S sunlight all the way"
The child went off with a blessing
And a kiss of mother-love;
The daisies were down at her feet,
And the lark was singing above.
On, IN, in the narrow foot-path-
Nothing could tempt her to stray;
So the moor was passed at nightfalL
And she'd sunlight oil the way.
Il Sunlight all the way -
And she smiling said,
As her bed WINS spread,
Il had sunlight all the way"
And ], who followed the maiden,
Kept thinking as l went.
Over the perilons moor of life
What unwary feet are bent.
II they could keep the toot-path,
And not in the marshes stray,
Then they would reach the end of life
Ere the night could shroud the day.
They'd have sunlight all the way,
But the marsh is wide,
And they turn aside,
And the night falls on the day.
Far better to keep the narrow path.
Nor turn TO the left or right;
For IL we loiter at morning,
What shall we do when the night
Falls back on u lonely Journey,
And we o our vain delayl
Then steadily onward, friends, and we
Shall have sunlight all the way.
Sunlight all the way, TTT1 ~
Till the journeys DER, N
And we reach the shore
OF a ~neyer-ending day.

private seer tary, Robert U%Iquhart, and
James Donnelly and Thomas Lamson,
the later of whom is also interested in
the South Omaha syndicate, arrived in
the city on Sunday from Cheyenne, and
registered at the Willard hotel.
Mr.. Swan, as is well known, Is the
6 sntleman who engineered and organ
lied the South Omaha syndicate, whose
object is the building of large stock
yards, packing houses, slaughter houses,
&C., and a suburban town, and which
syndicate have bought and consolidated
several Of the largest cattle herds in the
west.
Mr.. S vans latest enterprise is the
organization of another cattle company,
which has Just purchased and combined
In a joint ownership the herds Of Pax
ton and Sheidley. Mr.. Swan, it is un-
derstood, is the owner of the control
ling interest In this new company,
while Messrs. Paxton and sheidley are
interested to a large extent. The Pax
ton herd numbers about 10000 head,
and the Sheidley herd is probably near
ly the same size. The combination
makes a herd of over %, 900 head. The
papers completing the transfer are now
being drawn up in this city. This new

tary with the sla%ughtering and packing
houses, and the stock yards of the
