THE PLAY.


Last night Mr.. Frederick Warde and
company produced upon the stage of our
opera house Bulwer's ever-charming play,
The LAZY Of Lyons. In a role which is
somewhat light for him Mr.. Warde gave
indubitablo evidence of unusual power as
an actor. The veriest novice in criticism
of acting could see that Warde is better
suited to the rendition of parts like
'Virginius, "Richelieu, - Richard, - or
even 'Spartacus' than the juvenile char
acter Of a love-loin boy, and to ''caper
nimbly in a lady's chamber" but he did
Claude Melnotte" excellently well and
betrayed the gifts and the training of a
brilliant actor. His enunciation is clear
and crisp, he is graceful and self-possessed
and dresses his character with refreshing
taste. Miss Willett is handsome and acts
eharmingly, and will be an artist of great
merit. She betrayed last night in her
movement on the stage something of the
novice, but zone the less u genius Tor
acting. The greatest artistic that ever
blinked at a iootlight was at first but an
amateur, but the soul of the actress was
as much hers then as in the hour of her
greatest triumph. Mr.. S. c. Dubois
made a glorious Dumas and Mr..
kellerd looked and acted well Because
ant. All the others did excellently their
parts, and as a whole the company is well
balanced and gave the play in an emf
nently satisfactory manner to what was
only a fair audience in point Of numbers,
though 1t was one of intelligence and
form among those who are in a proper
sense the best element OF the city.
And here a word. There is a class in
THIS city which is always saying, why
doesnt the management bring us some

Another sample.
Coroner Laramie County.

- Cheyenne by the Iowa press excursion
lists, who were entertained here n few
weeks ago, would take moro space than
all the newspapers in Wyoming could fur
nish. THE LEADER gave one of the no
tees yesterday, however, and here is an
other, a little different in style, but still
highly complimentary. This is from the
Waterloo State Journal
On Wednesday morning We had our
first mountain views, first the Black
Hills, and shortly after the snowy peaks
of the Rocky range. A committee from
Cheyenne boarded our train at Atkins,
aud we were cordially welcomed to the
city of the plains and home Of the
cattle kings, where we arrived at s n. m.
and found a large crowd of people as
sembled at the depot. A band from
Fort Russell discussed most excellent
music and added to the pleasure Of the
fine breakfast
Cheyenne, as mostof our readers know,
once had the reputation of being a hard
town. 1t was the rullying point of the
reckless cowboy, the haunt of the gambler
and the resort for desperadoes of every
description. LGwlessness was the leading
characteristic. An this has been changed,
and Cheyenne is now a thriving, orderly,
handsomely located and clearly city, with
water works, gas, electric lights and all the
Injuries of modern civilization. There
are many fine business blocks, handsome
homes of pronounced English style, fine
t%urnouts, and every evidence OF wealth
and good taste. The citizens have conf
dence in their town and surroundings.
and with the wealth acquired by the
cattle business there is a fine future for
the handsome little city. 1t is said to be
the wealthiest city for its size in the
United States, and We iudge. the claim is
well founded.
Among the points Of interest visited
by some Of our party was the club house
of the Wyoming Cattle Mems Club, a
very elaborate structure, with all the at
t%ractive features of the eastern club
house. 1t is finely furnished throughout
WIN all the accessories Tor the enjoyment

lense oil from $1,000 to $500 per month,
which VIII give some ldea OF the style
prevalent there. Another notable feature

forth yesterday at Hill and Sixteenth
streets and selling a book which would
tell about all the ills to which horsciesh

that in order to handle a horse correctly

on some of the people who handle horses,
if the suggestion is carried out.
There is a picture of the English house
of lords in a front windsw at Warren's,
which attracts a great deal of attention.
The central figure is that of Disraeli and
represents him in his last days before that
body. All of the faces are good portraits,
among them, beside the dignitaries Of
Great Britain, Fare pictures of General
Grant and other distinguished foreigners.
While looking at it yesterday a young
man remarked, That's a beautiful frame,

cleveIand's clear Head and strong WI

Cieveland's Clear Head and Strong WIN
Washington Dispatch to The n. Y. Herald.
Cleveland is a man of clear head and
strong will. He is a Democrat, and it
would scarcely be e~xtravagant to say that
he is a bigoted Democrat. He believes in
local self-government; in the least possible
interference of the government, Federal
or state, with the people; in minimizing,
as far as it can be done, the sphere Of ac-
ton of the Federal government; in rigid
economy in public expenditures and in
strict enforcement of all laws whether they
are good or bad.
And he believes that public officers are
the servants Of the people. One OF his
%admonitions to men appointed to country
post offices is: "See that you are polite
to everybody. Don't let me hear OF your
post office being a place where a woman OF
child hesitates to go, or where a man op.
posed to you in politics or anything else
is not as pleasantly treated as my one
else.
He abhores the partisan use of office
as dangerous to the safety Of our institu-
tons, and il is as well for all ~oficeholders
Democrats and Republicans alike-to
understand that he will not tolerate this,
which he is convinced is n of the great
est evils, and if not rooted out will be one
of the most serious penls to the peace Of
the country.

A TaI!ow Tree.

This remarkable tree is a native OF
China. In the Island of Chusen guam
titles of oil and tallow are extracted
from its fruit, which is gathered when
the tree has lost its leaves. The twigs
bearing the fruit are cut down and
carried to farm house, where seed is
stripped off and put into a wooden
cylindrical box, open at one end and
pierced with holes at the opposite one.
The box is then suspended in a oylin-
drical kettle containing water, and the
diameter differs but little from that
of the box. The water is then made
to boil, and the steam, penetrating
into the box softens the seed and faci-
litates the separation Of the tallow.
After about quarter of an hours ex-
posure to steam the seeds are poured
F, into steam mortar, where they are
stirred about until all the tallow has
been separated into a semillquid state
rs afterwards poured into a cylinder
with a hole at the bottom, through
which it is driven by the action of a
press. 1t comes out perfectly white
free from all impurities. and soon be
comes solid.

Kansas CRY, Mo-, Aug. "a, 'S5.

FELLOW CITIZENS: The states OF
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, CoIora-
do, Texas and Arkansas have origina-
ted movement looking to the erec-
ton of an appropriate monument at
Fort Leavenworth to the memory of
the most illustrious General of his age,
ULYSSES S. GRANT.
The designation of Fort Leaven-
worth Is most appropriate. 1t includes
portions of the States of Missouri and
Kansas; 1t belongs to the Nation, We
feel assured that Missouri will do her
full share in contributing funds to
secure the early completion of a mon
ument to the memory of him who was
once citizen of our State.
This movement is neither sectional,
sectarian nor political. Admiration
for the deeds and profoond sorrow at
the death of the Nations dead, Gener-
al Grant was not confined to any party,
church or state. Therefore, it is most
appropriate that the people of the
cluster of states named should unite in
common enterprise for the'erection Of
a monument on the ground belonging
to the Nation a spot that is now, and
always will be. historical. No. more
fitting place could be selected than
Fort Leavenworth.
The undersigned State committee
appointed for the purpose of raising
funds in Missouri, hereby appoint the
Sheriff of each county in this state as a
committee of one, whose duty it shall BIZ
to divide his county into such district:
as he may deem proper for the pur.
pose of securing thorough canvas:

ible for the purpose above named.

Farmers in P0litics.

There is no class in the whole
range of the earth's population that
should give more careful and intelli-
gent attention to politics that the farm
ing community. By politics In this
connection, we use the word in its
pure patriotic meaning referring to the
means by which the individual be-
comes factor in regulating the affairs
of the country, not in the corrupt
sense which carries with 1t the stencil
of the pot house and the disgusting
corruption of the professional ward
striker and caucus manipulation. 1t is
bounden duty on all sons of free
government to do their part, no matter
how humble it may be, towards a pro-
per management of the ship of state.
The more honest men who attend pri-
maries and elections. the less becomes
the influence of the bummers whose
politics are REMARKABLY for revenue only.
and who care but little whether the
country's laws are prosperously and
progressively shaped OF not. Surely
these people-the tillers OF the soil
and the chieftains in all matters of pro.
duction-should have their influence
felt in matters pertaining to the very
life of their calling, the happiness OF
their home, their financial prosperity
and the consequent life of the Repub-
lie. Real property is the basis of all
credit-the very keystone of CONNER
cial existence, and those who control
its..vtal interests are,those who should
take an active part in framing the
country's laws. By no means should
politics SO engross the farmers atten-
ton, or that of any other business man
for that matter, so that he neglects his
legitimate industry for the glittering
generalities; for short lived honors.
But he should give politics so much OF
his attention that he and his worthy
neighbors can combine at a moments
notice to stem any tide of injustice
and secure a proper public guardian
ship of home interests.-Zowa Home
