Renshaw Opera House.

There was another large house last
evening at the Opera House and the
Ticket-Of- Leave Man was rendered
in a manner that not only did great
credit to the company but held the
close attention of refined and cul-
tured audience. Louise Rial as May
Edwards was up to the standard in
every respect and r1ade IN impression
by her fine impersonation of the
character that will not soon be for
gotten by those who were fortunate
enough to witness the performance.
The play is too familiar to mcs5 of
our citizens to need recital here.
The cast was Il strong one, and elici-
ted frequent and hearty applause.
Miss Jennie Mcclellan in the char
acter of the amusing and anxious
grandma, Mrs. Wil!oughby, was very
good, while Miss Ethel Brandon
made most captivating Sam Will
loughby. The 'Tiger' was ably
sustained by Mr.. Winters, being tS
pecially good in theinterv;ew with the
banker. Mr.. Duf1ield, as Bob Briefly,
the unfortunate victim of circum-
stances, won the sympathy of the
audience from the first. In the
fourth act he and Mr.. Spencer, who
takes the part cf Hawkshaw, did re-
markably we'll and drew fclth APP
plause that showed the effect rlade
upon those assembled. Mr.. Stockwe'l
was imnlitab!e as Meter NJ S-s and
sustained his reputation as fine
comedian. This evening London
Assurance will be presented with
Louise Rial as Lady Gay Spanker.
London Assurance is one OF the oldest
and most popular Of the modern
English plays, and this will be its
first presentation to a Butte audience.
1t is full of amusing and laugiabie
situations, and, with Louise Rial as
the leading lady and such AL excel
lent company for her support, it
should be welcomed by crowded
and enthusiastic house.

Weather Signals.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Alva II.
Doan, clerk in the pension office,
has invented a method of displaying
weather signals in the country for
the benefit of farmers, which may be
adopted by the signal service bureau:
It provides for a system OF signal
flags to be known as farmers signal
flags" which are to be displayed from
the sides Of United States mall cars,
which pass rapidly and constantly
over the country on the great net
work of tracks. These flags will sig
nal information as follows: White,
meaning clear weather; blue, fair
weather; red, doubtful weather. and
black, stormy weather or high winds.
These signals can be ordered up from
Washington by telegraph, and the
cost OF the entire system is said to be
in ignifcant.

Anaconda Let or.
Special Correspondence Of the MINER

ANACONDA, Oct. 18th, 1888.
After many days Of inclement
weather, and idleness on the part of
the working force of the Anaconda
Company, the day opens with sun
shine and the full army of workers.
Those dark objects near the top of the
two huge stacks of brick are livemen
busy with the square and trowel
pushing the work to completion ere
another stroke of winter is upon
then. The advent OF winter has
eau ed rustling of hardware mer-
cl.auts and a rattling of sheet iron,
stoves and stovepipes. Buildings are
goinS up and they are for permanent
cy, but are not otimpervious to the chill
ly winds and driving SHOWS of Mon
tana nor too hot for comfort during
blizzard. New enterprise reveals itse
almost daily, and among the late ac-
quisitlons to Anaconda, is the open
ing Of the banking house Of Hoge,
DAILY Il Co., the Occidental Chop
House, and bowling alley. Tie
Grand Central Hotel, property of
Mrs. Schultz, was dedicated Monday
evening, the 14th inst, to which
ceremony invitations were issued to
the elite only, and the soiree was an
occasion of merrlment to the chosen
guests. The subject of Statehood
agjtAtes the democratic minds Of
Anaconda and adds variety, and
few notices in conspicuous places
caused the office of Justice r. J..
Watt rbury to be crowded with
eDthusiss;ics, Saturday evening.
At 7:30 p. m. the meeting was
called to order in the usual manne-,
Judge Waterbury in the Chair and
Thos. DAILY as secretary. T:,e object
Of this meeting was to elect delegates
to attend the convention at Deer
Lodge on the Goth inst. This dis
trict swollen by Anaconda, is entit--
led to thirteen delegates. The FOL-
lowing ticket was prepared, and, on
motion, elected by acclamation: T..
B. Waterbury, Thos. Daily, w. X.
Parish, J. Ross Clark, BUT Vincent,
James Quigley, Thos. Kirly, P.
Leavengood, n. Dickinson, Samuel
Tyler, D. NJ. Taylor, r. S. Campbell,
and f. NJ. Ratcliffe. They will ali
leave en- masse for Deer Lodge Friday
the 10Th inst. Criminal matters are
quiet. The only case worthy of men,
ton is the degradation of a poor local
scribe from Butte who borrowed IA
watch, pawned the same, and "blew
inn the money. He now languishes
in limbo. Our prayers are for pro-
tracted good weather to complete the
roofing Of the smeiter, for improved
mail facilities, for the railroad aud
for the school house. Trusting that
our prayers will be ans Hered, we
close with harmony prevailing in
our camp.

decision is the talk of the town. The

Robert Ingersoll, DR.. Rankin, Jeff
Chandler and Judge Shellabarger

IN calling the meeting. A Republican
of prominence who has had some pol
itical and, perhaps some personal
differences with Justice Harlan. was
ill-natured enough to-day to say, that
the Judge was violent candidate for
the Presidency, and his dissenting
opinion was merely bid for the sup
port of northern radicals and dele
gates from the southern States to the
Republican convention next year.
John 2. Billings, Surgeon with the
brevet rank of Lieutenant-C Colonel, is
