Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett are
going to star together, and Mr.. Chase,
their manager, has written to Manager
Boardman for a date at the opera house
here. The New York .Iourlai in speak
ing of this combination says: Both these
well known actors will be given equal
prominence and will alternate every night
in the leading parts Of classic plays; for
instance, ON one night Mr., Booth will
play Brutus, and Barrett Cassius, and
the next evening the parts will be reversed.
On one evening Mr.. Barrett will be the
Othello and Booth the Iago, the night
following the roles to be reversed.
Mr.. Chase, Of Holyoke, Mass, is the
father OF this new scheme. it is said
that he has been at work OH it for several
months and succeeded only within the
past few days in effecting his purpose.
This gentleman became prominent within
the past two or three years through man
aging Mile. Rhea, an actress, who after
making a dead failure, suddenly jumped
into celebrity under his management.
When the arrangement was mentioned
yesterday to a few OF the prominent ac-
tons and managers around town they looked
upon it as a great scheme, but the general
impression appeared to be hat Lawrence
Barrett would be the principal winner by
the arrangement Though a good-paying
star, Barrett has never obtained the posi-
ton of Booth, and the latter, by putting
him on the same level as himself, UNI
doubtedly greatly helps his future pros
poets.
As for the receipts that will necessarily
follow a combination of two such well
known people, there is no doubt what
ever that they will be phenomenal. There
is nothing that tickles the public mind so
much as this union of two forces, Thus
when Booth last season played with Clara
Morris the %pecuniary success was enor-
nous, though the artistic success was by
no means to be commended.
int new Arrangement VIII 'ulNl uloH
Mr.. Booth much more work than he has
been doing of late. Indeed, while star
ring alone he has refused for the past two
or three years to cover more than a season
Of twenty weeks and to go further west
than Philadelphia. Under the new ar
nngement, Of course, he will be obliged to
follow the usual customs of Il theatrical
company.
As he has not been seen in the large
Western towns for some time the curios-
ity to witness his performances will only
be enhanced by this move. What ar
rangemcnts Mr.. Chase has made as to
paying these two actors the large sums
they undoubtedly demand is kept i pro-
found secret.

HOMEw BOUND.
The Crews ofwhaIers which Were Lost
in Arctic Seas.

There were a large number of sailors on
Yesterday morning. eastbound train who
are going home after having experienced
a cold day or so up in the arctic regions.
They arrived at San Francisco a few days
ago, us in number, ON board the revenue
Gutter Corwin. That vessel brought be-
side the crews of lost vessels, news of the
Artlc fleet as late as Aug. 20. These men
say the whalen Mabel, George and Susan
were blown ashore in a gale of wind Aug.
20, in Wainright's inlet, longitude 100
and latitude n. Three of the crew of
the Susan were lost; William Lee, the
cooper; August Wilhelm and James Ev-
ans, seamen. The Mabel is owned by
William Lewis, of Marblehead, Mass,
and the Susan by Aiken Swift, of the
same place. During a gale the Corwin
attempted TO send a boat to the whaler
Abraham Baker but it capsized on the
way. The officer of deck on the Corwin
seeing the accident sent another boat in
command of Lieut.. Kennedy, who. after
a hard struggle, succeeded in saving the
boats crew. The following day the Cor
win towed the Ohio to the side of the
George and Susan, when all the oil and
bone were transferred.
The survivors of the crew ofthe wrecked
whaling bark Napoleon OF New Bedford,
were also taken aboard the Corwin. The
crew consisted Of thirty-six officers and
seamen.
The two other boats were not seen again
and it is supposed they were lost. The
suffering from cold and hunger was in
tense.
Twenty-Five OF the crew persisted among
them the first and second mates. One of
these, Joaquin Khlus, had his feet badly
frozen, and the captain of the. whaling
bark had amputated his toes prior to the
rescue.
Alter II was uscertained thai the vessel
was in a sinking condition four boats were
manned with nine men in each, there be-
ing scarcely time to get them lowered
from The davits and no time to procure
provisions. The boats remained together
one day and night, but during aierce gale
and while enyeloped IN fog on the second
day they separated.
The morning of the fourth day the Cor
win picked up one of the boats with eight
persons alive and one dead. In the after
noon another boat was picked up, with
six of the occupants alive.
September < the Corwin anchored of
Halls Island, where a 600 pound polar
bear was shot and killed. 1t will be sent
to the Smithsonian institute.

Milford Has III Adventure with a Big
Horn Cowboy and a E.ig Horn.

morn Convoy ana a zig Horn.
Editor Becker, Of the Big Horn ,Scatt
MI tells a good story Of a nobby and snob-
by Milford, of British extraction, who
travelled from Big Horn with him and
Abe ldelman on the stage coach early
this week. MILFORD was excessively exclu-
siye. He wouldn't be social and spoke to
no one except the two John Henry
servants he had with him. and was alto
gether as unpleasant as his sn~obbishness
could make him. At a dinner station
there were a lot of jolly cowboys on a
lark, and one Of them treating every
body, asked the Engllshman to drink. OF
course, Milford haughtily refused. The
cowboy displayed a dangerous looking
six shooter and very impressively insisted
On his drinking. But | cawn't, you
know | don't drink, you know,
was Milford reply, Mr. Cowboy
brought the muzzle in dangerous
proximity to the knot in which milord's
brains were supposed to lie hidden ONE
where, and then he said he'd drink-he'd
take soda water, you know. Soda water
nuthin, said Mr.. Cowboy You'll
take straight whisky. But, aw. this
American whisky, / cawn't swallow it,
you know. Well said the cowboy,
"In make a hole in the side OF YOU head
so that we can pour it in, and he began
to draw down on MILFORD, and MILFORD said
"Aw, thatn do; III drink it, Then
the cowboy invited MILFORD servants to
drink, which Mortified him. They don't
drink, YOU know, he said. We'll,
wei Il see whether they do or not,
said Mr.. Cowboy, The chances are
you don't give EN- Il 'hopportunity.
Come up here. you fellows, and
guzzle some, aud the two John Henrys
with a little show of reluctance, but really
glad to get a drink, came mp and the cow.
boy passed a tumbler full of torch light
procession whisky for Milford, and the ser
wants poured for themselves. Then the
cowboy made the John Hcnrys clink
glasses with Milford. and all drank and
there was great fun. Milford tried after
hat to be very Jolly. and the stimulant as
sisted him decidedly. But ia the coach
he fell back into his exclusiycness and re-
tanned it throughout, and has probably
got it yet.
Now the fact is that, abstractly, the
cowboy was wrong in forcing a man TO
drink who had no desire to do 80. But,
on the other hand. snobbishness is not the
proper thing in this country, aud sensible
men generally try, while in Rome, Ia do
as Rome does. At any rate they don t
make themselves offensive to the country
in which they are travelling.

purehasIng a husband For SEQ.

From the Denver News.
A very strange story is told Of promi
nent and wealthy citizen of Denver, who
was recently married. 1t appears that
some time ago he became quite intimate
with a young woman-in face his intimacy
was Of the closest kind, and, as she al
legcs, the acts were committed under a
promise Of marriage. Time passed ON
and the tickle lover, all forgetinl of his
vows, married another lady. The first
woman thereupon began a suit for breach
of promise. With ruin and disgrace star
ing him in the face the gay Lothario sue
cumbed to the inevitable and employed
the services of a shrewd lawyer, who
sought the lady, and after considerable
dickering a price was fixed and she agreed
TO abandon the suit and leave the city on
condition that a husband should be pro-
cured for her. A proper person was
found, who, for the consideration Of $50,
agreed to marry her. The ceremony was
performed last Saturday and the happy
couple () departed at once for the Fast,
taking with them the especial congratula-
tons Of the man Who came so near igur-
ing as the principal character in a scandal
which might have shaken the pillars Of
society to their very foundations,

Five Norwegian Children Burned to Death

Five Norwegian Children Burned to Death
in q Log House in Aurora,
Steele County.
The following account we take from
special dispatch to the Minneapolis Jour-
MT. Aurora is IN Steele county, which
county joins Mower on the north, and
the location of this awful death scene is
probably about IS miles north Of Austin:
At II o'clock last night MAY 14th) the
house of Norwegian farmer named Hen
ry Lewiston, living in Aurora township
about SIX miles southeast of Owatonna,
was burned, and five of his children per-
ished in the flames. The family, consist
ing of himself, wife, seven children and
hired man, were all sleeping at the time
in the second story of his log house. The
only window in that part of the house
overlooked a shanty addition used for a
kitchen. Lewiston and wife were awak-
kened by the glare of the fire and rushed
down stairs Mrs Lewiston carr ying her
youngest child in her arms, another child
aged ten years and the hired man follw
ing. When Lewiston opened the only
door of the house. which led into the
shanty, the flames and smoke burst in,
nearly empowering him and burning off
part of his hair and beard. The hired
man then broke out window, through
which they got out, but not before Mrs.
Lewiston was severely burned. Lewiston
made several frantic efforts to reach the
children still asleep upstairs, but as there
was no door or window through which
this could be done except the window n
the side of the house already in flames, he
was powerless to rescue them. The per-
sons thus cremated alive were four boys.
aged eighteen, fifteen, SIX and four years,
and girl aged ten. a few bones and
small quantity of charred flesh, wholly
unrecognizable, were all that could
be found of those who met SO horrible

1T does not look reasonable that the
Minnesota & Northwestern r. r. Co.
would build another road through their
own territory, as would be the case if
they start from bayfield,, in Dodge coun-
ty; (Which is about 80 miles north from
Mona) to build to connection with the
Dubuque s Northwestern. We should
think they would prefer to start from
Austin, or from Mona, the end of their
line, and save building from twenty to
thirty miles of new road. However, the
ways of railroad companies are past find
ing out A north and south road through
the east side of Mower county will be Of
great benefit to the towns of Sergeant,
Dexter, Clayton and Lodi. The St. Ans
gar Enterprise says, ''the whole thing is
only a scheme to bring some other COM
pany to terms. and that the road from St.
Paul TO Lyle and the branch will be oper-
ated by the same company. That is our
opinion Take it for what it is worth"
