Last Night,s Performance.

In the School for Scandal last evening,
Mile Rhea, as Lady Teazle," fully sus-
tanned the very favorable impression crea-
ted by her appearance of the previous
evening in Frou Frou. AS Lady Tea
zle" she carries conviction as to her abil-
ity as an artist of the first rank and her
decided versatility. Speaking a language
but lately acquired, and portraying a
character whose expressions are all made
in some of the most rigorous indiomatic
forms of that language, she has a task to
perform when she essays to portray that
character in a pleasing, artistic and natur-
al manner, that is hard ofmastery without
the aid of most marked genius. That she
was successful in the performance of this
task last evening, the generous applause of
her audience abundantly testified. OF
Rhea's support much can be deservedly
said in praise. That crafty, yet sentiment
tai and highly moral youth, Joseph Sur
face, was given faithful representation by
Mr.. Sullivan; Sir Oliver" and Sir
Peter, were acceptably characterized,
while Mr.. Elliot, as Charles Surface ~
fairly captured his hearers with his hearty
jollity and good fellowship.
Taken as a whole, the play deserves I'M
qualified praise and was worthy a much
larger audience. Had SehoolJor Scandal
been the selection for the company's first
night performance, We are certain the
second evenings house would have been
much larger than it was.

From the Texas Live stock JOur"id.
There promises to be somewhat of a
change among the smaller class of cattle
men. in the manner of disposing of the r
young cattle. This class do not seem to
be satisfied with the way things have teen
going, which has enabled a h~alf-dozen
middle men to profit on handling their
stock, to the loss of from one to two dol
lars per head to the producer. 1t is pro-
posed that they unite, and engage an
agent to dispose of their stock in the Kan
sas or Colorado markets, and that they
will put up herds and ship or drive them
to meet the contracts made by such agent,
and in this way deal as directly as possible
with the actual purchasers of stock, Col
onel James +. Ellison and other expert
enced and trusted cattlemen are referred
to as being suitable persons for such agen-
CIV service.

On Monday evening, a certain we'll
known gentleman of this city, who, by
the way, is not exactly the smallest one
in Cheyenne, went to the Opera House
to hear and sec Mile Rhea with whom
he was apparently very favorably I'M
pressed, The gentleman proceeded with
much grace and ease Of manner to his
seat and after assuring himself that eve
rything was satisfactory proceeded to
take his seat, or rather, perhaps, the
seat proceeded to take him for no sooner
had he begun to settle down than there
came a crash-an awful crash and
whether it was because the gentleman
could not slack up could not readily be
determined. All the same he did not
stop until the floor very kindly sacrificed
itself and came up to his rescue. The
gentleman was not injured at all, but the
floor was awfully hurt, but at last ac-
counts it was thought that by judicious
care it would fully recover.

ON THE
A Coiored Man Raises a Row at a
Festival.

Night before last the Colored Baptists,
feeling somewhat encouraged over the
good success they are having in raising
funds to be used in building their new
church, concluded they would have a
festival in Keefe's Hall which is now
their headquarters. They therefore pro-
ceeded to make proper arrangements, and
in the evening a goodly number of the
colored element assembled to partake of
the many good things which had been
provided for the occasion. Among others
who came was Sidan Walker, II colored
gentleman of some little note around town
from the fact that he has two or three
times gone into partnership with the
City Marshal in the matter of
taking care of the calaboose,
the arrangements being that Sedan
would guard the calaboose from the in
side to keep people from getting in while
the marshal would guard it from the out-
side to keep people from getting out.
Sedan, after he arrived at the festival,
ii"hNig NOliltNSCu W tue DlblIlGTs anu
sisters present that he was a better man
than n of them. Some of them pres
ent thought not, but no very pointed
demonstrations were made by anyone in
order to test the matter. Sedan had to
go out pretty often to ''see a man and
some of the brothers had to go u pretty
often to see that fellows brother, and
the result was hat Sedan and some of
the brothers got into a slight scrimmage
in which Sedan had the Oest of it all
around. Officer Smith finally appeared
upon the scene and in spite of Sedan's
loud protests of innocence he was
marched off to the calaboose and locked
up. On yesterday afternoon Smith took
Sedan up aud gave him an introduction
to Judge Lee. The Judge was pleased
to see him of course, and in order to
show his appreciation of the distinguished
city visitor, gave him the liberties of the
city calaboose for ten days.

An Accomplishing Inal should Rank
Win The Abbott Kiss.


Hand shaking is an art that is much
pract!ced, but little improved upon in the
West. Some men shake hands with
genuine enthusiasm, others apparently
perform it as a solemn duty, while still
others go through the formality in such a
p]ertunctory way us to tire nut the party
Of the second part. One of the most
accomplished people in tie hand shaking
line, one who even possesses great ability
IN this direction, is Mile. Rhea who has
delighted audiences in the Opera House of
this city for the past two evenings. In
the first place, her hand is not so small
that it sinks away hclplessly in the depths
4 a masculine palm. The hand is soft
as silk, yet resisting, and is g~enially warm
without being moist. Beyond the grace
of manner with which Mile. Rhea ex-
tends her hand and the beaming
smile which accompanies it, her
hand sinks costly and insinuat-
ingly into her visitors outstretched palm.
The shake does not consist of a mere
chilling touch of dainty finger tips, but on
the contrary is u hearty yet coniding
grasp that is altogether delicious. Mile.
Rhea's is a hand that is eloquent with
iriendliness and trusting confidence. In
shaking it one can not keep down a sem
sltion of pleasure and delight. To know
when to cease shaking n hand is another

BATTLE OF BANNocKnURN.
The Anniversary of Scottish %mdcpend-
enCe Celebrated Last Evening.

The, Caledonian Club celebrated, at
their hall on Sixteenth street last evening,
the anniversary of the most important
event in the history of AUD Scotia"
The hall was tastefullv decorated with
t%artans, the national colors, oaand other en-
blems of national glory, including a coat
of-arms, a lion rampant, painted by
Mr.. Watson.
Mr.. r. S. Cook occupied the chair
and the evenings exercises CON
sisted of speeches by the members
of the club, singing, toasts, etc.
Many of the selections of song were
rendered in the dialect which Burns, the
national bard, loved so well to use in de-
scribing national peculiatities. The
rendering of the The Tallest Man in the
Forty-twa," by Mr.. Brodie was very
enjoyable. Among the toasts were
Scotland, The Commonwealth of
the United States, =" THE Press, ~ THE
President" and THE Land of Our Adop-
ton After enjoying themselves into the
wee sma' hours, the assembly separated
to their homes.
The battle of Bannockburn was one
of the most important events in the Scot
fish history, as it established her indie
p~endence, and placed her in a position
where she was released for many
years from the encroachment of her moro
greedy and powerful neighbor, England.
1t has been for ages been celebrated by
the stalwart sons of Caledonia as their
most important national holiday. The
Club has been organized but six weeks,
butt already numbers among its mem,
bers most of the young men of Cheyenne
and vicinity, who were born, or trace theil
ancestry from North of Tweed

While the street and alley committee
are doing commendablc work in various
parts of the city in the way of putting in
crossings and water ways should gaze for
a moment on the crossing from the
Opera House south to the further side of
Seventeenth street. That crossing needs
amending. One thing is certain, how
ever; it is not wide enough to let the
water through without overlooking the
streets as experience has taught long
ago.

The strawberry festival at the Railroad
Chapel south of the track was a grand
success. 1t was very numerously attended
and well patronized, and all those who
were present enjoyed the occasion very
much. The success attending the festival
was in a great measure due to Rev. J..
Howard Phillips who is doing a good
work in that portion of the city.
