The Standard Theatre, New York
was totally destroyed by fire Friday even
ing. Total loss 5 $40. 900. TIE Stand
ard was built in 1875 by Josh Hart, who
was then running the Theatre Comiqne.
1t was built on ground owned by the
Shepherd estate. 1t was built for an up
town variety theatre, and was the first
attempt to run that kind of amusement
SO far up town. The late Judge Down
ing put in 500 o69. The building cost
1920. 600. The lease was to expire and
the building revert to the ground owners
in 1895. 1t was known as the Eagle
Theatre. 1t was run with variety again.
but always at a loss, Josh Hart says he
sunk SIoo. 600 in it. He put on a mort
gage of SIS, 900 in favor Of Bernard
Earle. A second mortgage in favor OF
LAWYER John Saunders called for 81. 900.
The next lien on the building was in favor
Of the Judge Downing estate. his invest
ment being turned into judgment
which was held by the law firm of Culver
& Wright. In 1873 Monager Hender-
son hired the theatre for the seven years
that the lease had to run from May OF
that year. He contracted to pay ST.. goo
for the first year and ST.. 600 additional
for each following year. The rent was
paid monthly in advance. Under Hen
derson the name was chaeged to the
Standard, and the theatre became 4
home Of comig opera. He opened with
"Our Boarding House." but "Pinafore"

in elegant, sugar-coated, gilt edged Ian
guage, that the motor was not done, nor
did he know when it would be done,
whereupon they adjourned once more in
disgust, until the first day of February,
at which time Keely thinks he can be
able to judge approximately, within a
year or two, as to when the motor will
be motor. The impudence of Keely,
and sublime confidence of the stock
holders of the company, don't sail in
together, and present an unequalled
example of how gullible are the majority
of the creatures of that Divine handi-
work, which has pronounced them but
little lower than the angels.
The sad death of Theo. N. Donnelly,
who was so long associated with earn
cross Minstrels, has cast a gloom over
the local profession.
This has been a good week for the
theatres. The attraction have been
pretty well balanced with Wyndham at
the Walnut. Kate Castleton and John
Mackey and the Surprise Party at the
Chestnut, the Strangers of Paris at
the Opera House, and the McCaull
Opera Company at Haverly Lyceum.
hear, by the way, that Haverly is making
some money at the Lyceum. This fact,
if it is a fact, ought to make poor Jack
Donnelly turn over in his grave with
regret. He lost plenty of money when
he and his brother, Joe Donnelly, who
had his name changed to Murphey, run
it together. don't know whether we
overheard it, but Jack Haverly began
life in Chicago, as gambler. He kept
a faro layout and thence descended, SO
they say, into the Minstrel business /:
where he got his money, after his recent
failure, nobody seems to know. At any
rate he is once more upon his legs, and
is making the Lyceum quite 60.

Senotor Tabor and the Drum
 mor.

It is related that when Tabol was on the Kansas Pacific train going to Washington to take his seat, he met d Hebrew drummer 1 who had known him some time by reputation. To pass the time they engaged in a game of eu- chre. The play was even until the close of the second game, when the drummer received four kings and an eight-spot. A queen was turned up.
 "Great beafens !'' said the drummer. "Mr. DabOr, I wish it vas poker. If We vas blayin bok- CT, wood bet my whole bundle."
 "HOw much is your bundle?" asked the noble Senator from Colorado.
 'TwO hundred and fifty dol lar," replied the drummer.
 Well" replied Tabor, "if you give me the queen which is turned, I'll go you"
 "run," said the drummer, and Tabor picked up the queen.
 "Dot eesh a shnap," whisper ed the drummer, showing his hand to a man in the ne xt seat.
 "I should smile," said the man lacOnically.
 Wood you like to pet some more, Meester Dabor?" said the commercial traveller, with an in- sinuating smile.
 "Yes," said the noble Senator, "I have fair hand; I will make it $500.
 Il haf only $5O," replied the drummer, and he made good his bet for $500. "What haf you got. MT. DabOr"
 "Four aces," answered Colo,a- dos favorite son, showing the fa- tai one spu;s.
 The drummer was perfectly paralyzed, and was unable to speak, while the noble Senator slowly put the pot in his tog. Slowly drawing a cigar from his pocket ColoradO's favorite was about to light up and withdraw, when the drummer recovered his speech. Leaning for ward he said:
 ''Eet ish all right, Meester Dabor; you haf Won the money sgyare; but MT. Dabor. vot did der gveen to do init four aces" Kansas City Times.

 "The finest we ever had" is what the farmers say with regard to their crops in all parts of the county.
 Work was commenced on the Colorado river bridge few days ago and the steam pile driver works to perfection.
 The Arizona Copper Company, at Clifton, have received their large smelter, and are busy put ting it into position.
 The track is laid to a point about eight miles below Kingman and is now within forty-one sand half miles of the river.
 The Golden Rule mine, in Co., chise county, is soon to have a ten stamp mill. It has already been ordered from the east.
 The track of the new road from Silver City to Deming is said to be nearly laid. Cars are expected to be running into the city by the 18th of this month.
 It is reported that rustlers are working the range in the San Pedro country. A band of horses has lately been missed, among which was a $3,000 stallion.
 Over one hundred teams are engaged Tn hauling piles from Kingman to Polhamus to be used in the construction of the bridge across the Colorado river at tne Needles.
 Smallpox still rages in Phoenix and the Herald records the death of another cl.ild of MT. and Mrs. William Mcdonald. The berea- we'd family have now lost two children bv the dreadful scourge.
 At the Copper Mountains mine arrangements are being made for a supply of coke. ore is abundant, and the new smelter and other machinery will soon be up and ready to commence operations.
 The Phoenix Gazette says that it is reported that a large number of the Pima and PapagO Indians are dying off with the smallpox. They are not permitted to enter Phoenix, although they come into Tucson in great numbers.
 The Silver Cave mine of Dos Cabezas is being developed with system and continues its fine body of rich ore. This is admit ted to be the largest property | thus far developed in the south eastern section of Arizona.
 
 The Reward Company, Casn Grande district. are again sinking for water at the mine in the hope l of finding sufficient supply to run a furnace. They can secure all the water they will need by | piping it about three miles, but desire to avoid this expense.
 MT. James Lane, of Mineral Park district, reports th.t for some time past the men on that mine have been forced to sleep l in the rOckS with their arms be- 1 side them, on account of Indians, but that the scare is now over. | He reports the mine doing better every day, and large lot of rich ore on the dump.
 There is some encouraging de- velopments going on in the range | of mountains west of Tucson. | The recent find in WOffenden's | mine has excited considerable interest among the owners Of surrounding properties, as the character of the formation and ore are similar to that in which .he strike has been made.
