The Standard Dramatic Company.

After an absence of one week, at
the neighboring towns, this popular
company reappeared last evening In
the play of "Too Late" The drama
is located in England and the char
acters are typical of English country
lite. The first act is rather quiet,
but as the plot develops, the play be-
comes intensely interesting. The
principal parts in the hands of Miss
Josie Croker, Mr.. Lindon, Mr..
Simms and Miss Minnie Castle were
very ably sustained. This evening
the beautiful Irish play of kathleen
Mr.. Simms as Terrence O'Moore and
will be followed by the screaming
farce entitled "Lollipopps." To
morrow night Bulwer Lytton's great
play 1.-THE Lady of Lyons" will::be
the attraction. There ought to be
big business all this week.

The Tropical Palace.

There Is probably no city of Its
size in the West that ian boast of a
house carrying a more complete and
finer stock in its line of goods than
can be found at the Tropical Palace
in Butte. The enterprising proprie-
tors, Tommy Denoon & Co., have
recently levied a fresh tribute upon
the choicest products of the world
and in this mornings issue of the
MINER they come to the front with an
announcement of a few special arti-
cles they obtained. Among them are
the delicious Riverside oranges fresh
from the groves of that favored re-
gion. Delicate to the taste and cap
tivating to the eye, they are going
off like frost before q July sun.
Lovers of the luscious fruit should
secure some before they are all gath
cred in.

beautiful a specimen of sillicate, in
termixed with masses of gold car

A Gem.

Mrs. Robert McMinn and Mrs.
Geo. F. Marsh have performed a most
wonderful feat in preparing an
aquatic boquet. The base of the work
Is of quartz taken from one of the
richest of Butte mines. Horn blend,
native and wire silver covers the ex-
terror. The flowers above are sur
mounted by a magnificent Gala
lilly, queen of the floral realm.
The exquisite floral arrangement
of flowers, leaves, grasses and other
specimens r so gracefully grouped
that the blossoms present an almost
ethereal appearance, white and frosty,
fairy-like and beautiful, with the col
ors so har'uoniously blended the eye
is Immediately attracted and the
mind held in wonderment. The
bcquet is covered by a glass case,
filed with water, the boquet floating
in the center, held aloof by atmos-
pheric pressure. and every leaf and
twlg trembling in its airy suspension.
The ladies have devoted much time
to the accomplishment of this strange
piece Of artistic beauty.

Variety Of Garments.


E. l.. Bonner & 60. take a just
pride in carrying through success
fully any enterprise they undertake,
and the fact of their advertising a
sale of any particular goods is a
guarantee that it will be in every
sense satisfactory to their customers.
The special sale of un ierwear adver-
tised in this issue embraces an end
less variety of garments which are
fresh from the factory. and the prices
which they are to be sold at will
completely silence the windy adver-
tisements which appear in the daily
papers drawing attention to shop
warn goods which are now Being
forcsd on the public under the pre-
text Of low prices.

The Standard Dramatic Company.

One Of the m ,st enjoyable, and
certainly the best, was the perform
ance by the Dramatic Company of
kathleen Mavourneen' last night.
The play itself is perhaps, with the
exception of B~oucicault's Colleen
Bawn, the most attractive of Irish
dramas. The part Of Kathleen Was
charmingly played by Miss Minnie
Castle, who won the hearts of the au-
dience IN the pathetic scenes, which
were demonstrated with a sympathy
in full accord with the situation Of
the play. The Terence O'More of
MI. Simms was as all presentations Of
this excellent comedian, very clever.
The thankless part of Bernard
kavagh was played by Mr.. Lindon
for all 1t was worth, while Miss
Truesdale app Jared to good advant-
age as Miss Dorothy. Special praise
is due Miss Croker, who appeared
for this occasion as Kitty Laverty.
Mr.. Dahlborn 10 oked and acted the
priest with a dignified appreciation
of the part. The wind up of the
"Kiss Polthogue" jig by the COM
pany brought down the house and ut
its finale n of the best pleased au-
diences that has been inside the walls
of Renshaw's, wended its way home
ward. Tonight Bulwer's great play
in five acts. "The Lady of Lyons"
will be given, in which MI. Taylor, q
new addition to this company, will
make his first appearance as Beau
seant.

and maturity implies growth. A slight indis-
