VARIETY NOTES.
What is Going On at the Vaudeville
Theaters Who is Appearing.

The scenery at the Comique is being much
improved.
Montague's first part has "caught on
Il is great.
Manager Richie never tires Of making
improvements.
Lulu Catlett has sparkling eyes, that
seem to speak.
The Catletts are fine performers and do
an unrivaled clog.
Miss Carrie Duncan is a pleasing singer
and good actress.
Last night there was scarcely breathing
room at the Arion.
The Comique's first part will be further
improved this week.
The Holdsworths, at the Comique, are
excellent singers and deservedly great
favorites.
The Toledo figured in the courts during
the week. This always speaks badly for a
management.
The patrons of the Arion were glad to see
Miss Eva Williams bach and gave her a
hearty welcome home.
Miss Estelle wellington, a great song and
lance artistic, opens at the Comique to-
morrow evening. She is a very popular
performer.
Miss Lille Gordon has an excellent voice.
which she is beginning to use with splendid
effect. Miss Gordon is a great favorite with
all classes at the Comique.
Miss Sybil Spencer, Of the Comique, has a
pl asing, well-trained and intelligently
handled voice, and her carriage is graceful
and ladylike upon the stage.
That the habitues OF variety theaters
can appreciate a refined performance, is
shown by the popularity that Miss Dot
Thompson has achieved at the Arion.
Miss Mabel Hamilton, an accomplished
son and dance artist, and Miss Eva Will
Jams will do a double act at the Arion next
week. They are both very shapely, and as
their voices blend beautifully a fine per-
Torrance may he looked for.
Billy Mack, of the Comique, has been
quite i'll, and is still confined to his bed.
He is greatly missed, as he is not only a
fine performer, but a w~hole-souled, genial
little gentleman. Almost anyone could be
better spared out OF the Comique caste
than Billy.
Miss Dot Thompson, one OF the Arion's
new acquisitions. is a most charming per-
former. She sings sweetly, acts naturally
and dresses in excellent taste. She made
an instantaneous hit, and justly so, for no
more accomplished performer has ever ap-
peared in Butte.

The AIMDhitheater,

Last night there was an exceedingly large
audience at the A~mphitheater and all pres
ent enjoyed themselves hugely. Skating
was begun at the usual hour and continued
until 10 o'clock, when a little miss about
8 years old was brought in and drew from
the rattle box two numbers emitting the hold
ers OF the corresponding numbers to the
prizes. The lucky numbers were $40 and $40;
the first prize being a silver castor, and the
second a gold-lined cup. w. B. Porter won
the castor, and. j. Shaw the silver cup.
After the drawing the skates were discarded
and the large audience enjoyed themselves
in dancing until midnight, when "Home,
Sweet Home''was played.

Criminal Courts.

Judge French's time yesterday was en-
irely devoted to the consideration of civil
usiness, nothing OF a criminal nature being
rought before him.
Justice Lippincott yesterday imposed a
ne of 81 and costs upon Evan Morgan for
isturbing the peace. The costs amounted
o 50, and thus Evan got off for 50, which
we believe is the cheapest on record.
The two men arrested upon a charge of
horse stealing were arraigned before Judge
Lippincott yesterday for the purpose of
pleading to the charge, but, as they de-
sired time to obtain counsel, they were
given until Friday morningat IL o'clock to
plead.

began hammering it with another stone.
This had a magic effect, for after q few
blows there vas a loud explosion, and the
boys were thrown in opposite directions.
Neither OF them suffered any very serious
injury, although both OF them were consid-
erably burned about the and lace and
received numerous other bruises.

CURIOUS TRUANT.
A Monomaniac on the Subject Of Run
ming Away.

There is now in Butte an anxious mother
in the person OF Mrs. J. G. McLaren, OIL
Tacoma, w. T., who is growing premature
~ old on account OF the freaks OF her ID.
year-old son. Born in the far West, the
lad has developed a mania for running
away and leading the life OF a cowboy
with sombrero, spurs and guns. His last
escape from a happy household and pleas
ant surroundings was on the 18th OF June
last, and since then his mother has been an
anxious searcher as to his whereabouts,
and finally traced him to Heron station,
and there lost sight of him. She has been to
Helena and all intermediate points, but her
anxious search has been nus far unre-
warded. She has still hopes OF finding
him in this section, and appeals to any one
who knows of his whereabouts to convey
the Information to her through any OF the
ney' spapers.
The lad is just 13 years old, four feet eight
inches high. brown hair and eyes, full face
and ruddy complexion. Speaking OF the
runaway, the Oregonian OF a recent issue
says:~"Frank McLauren, OF Tacoma, a
boy only 13 years OF age, who has developed
a most u~naccountable mania 'or running
away from a good home, again started off
last month, as has been heretofore pub
lished, and his anxious parents can find no
trace whatever OF his whereabouts. He
is about four feet eight inches in height, has
brown hair and brown eyes, and quite a
full, round face. He frequently changes his
name when he does not wish to be detected.
He was recognized on the train en- route to
Portland on the goth of last month, when
he took. the name OF Albert Lee, and stated
to some Of the passengers that his home
was in Montana. There is no doubt OF his
insanity. butt would never be suspected by
strangers. On a short acquaintance any
one would take him to be very smart boy.
He is very pleasing in his manner, makes
friends easily, and secures the interest OF
any one he wishes to by telling them a
plausible story OF his orphanage, his home
less restitution, or that he had ran away
from home and wished assistance to get
back-always giving the wrong place for his
home. His insanity, if such it may be
called, is only on this one subject, His
parents state that it has grown on him very
much in the last few months and that they
were intending to take him to New
York this month for medical treat
ment in this regard. Hewill elude the most
~vigilant care at home and be a hundred
miles or SO away before his parents can
find any trace of him. His treatment at
home is OF the kindest, and no one who
knows the circumstance in Tacoma doubts
the child's insanity on this one subject.

AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which
cause truman suffering result from derange-
ment Of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
YER CATHARTIc PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment. including Constipation, 1ndiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery.
and q host Of other ailments, for all OF
which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. T extensive use OF these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prae-
tice, shows Enthusiastically the estimation In
which they are held by the medical profes'
sion.
These PILLS are compounded OF vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
ealomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
layers PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. l have been
asevere sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing l could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
! have ever found. 1t is a pleasure to me to
speak in their praise, and l always do 20

The REV. FRANCIS B. HARLowE, writing
from Atlanta, Ca, says: "For some years
past l have been subject to constipation.

zines Of various kinds, l suffered increasing
inconvenience, until some months ago I
began taking AYERS PILLS. They have
entirely corrected the costivo habit, and

ALONG THE LEAD.
The Mining Outlook and the
Prices of Metals.
Shows q Full Ledge Of Good. Grede Ore
on the Eight Hundred
Foot Level.

The past week has been very quiet at al
the mines, and no particularly new devel
opments have been made any place. except
at the Alice. The drifts both north anC
south on the 8OO-foot level are still in ore
al d have been the entire week, but the in
dications are that the walls are about
reached. The ore in sight is OF good grade
fully equal to that taken out OF the upper
levels. The developments on this Level
were looked upon with much interest in the
community and a great many persons
feared that the ledge would either be small.
Ter or the grade Of the ore would prove SO
low that it would not pay to mill, but all
those fears have been allayed, and the
Alice stands, as before, with the prospect
of a continued output OF bullion equal to
that of the present time. The vein in these
drifts is very large and compact, and has
every indication of going down to unlim.
tied depth.
The price of the metal heretofore pro-
duced in the camp has caused more than
usual comment among those who handle
the bullion. Silver yesterday touched
$1.O22 per ounce, with a downward ten
dency, and it is about certain that it will

time the gold producers are fully organized
and are playing their points with the ut

standing idly by, and permitting themselves
Our latest advices regarding the state OF
trade in lead are that the market for
common pig has developed an easier ten
dency, about 1000 tons forward delivery
have been sold at 4 to AZ cents. There
have been further sellers at 4 cents, bnt no
buyers. At Chicago and St. Louis the mar
ket is reported quiet at 1892 cents with
only a moderate demand.
In copper the trade has been very light,
but the prices have not varied much from
former quotations. Ingot, according to
the Mining Journal, has ruled quiet and
easier, with sales of Lake at 1920 cents
and further lots offered at this price, while
the best obtainable bids have not been
over 1910. Baltimore has been offered at
10 cents without finding buyers. Dealers
ask IL cents for Lake, 10Y cents for Ari-
IONA, and 1OH cents for Baltimore. The
London market for Chill Bars has been ir-
regular, fuctusting between f39 15s and
$40.
There has been some talk regarding the
proper representation of Butte at the New
Orleans Exposition. and the feeling seems
to be gaining ground that there must be
some rustling done among the mining men
and companies. Our mineral wealth must
be made one OF the features of the great
show, and the superintendent are doing
some work to that end. Commissioner
Read has already received a number OF
specimens, notably two copper chunks
from Cark's Colusa, one weighing 200
pounds and the other nearly 800 pounds.
They are very handsome samples, and ex-
tremely rich in metal. They will be for
warded at an early day to New Orleans,
and many others are expected hY the Com

wide, glaring eyes. The day declined, night

The friendly backwoodsman found HMM
this attitude, spoke to him, shook him be-
fore there was a change OR sign OF recogni-

gave out such a long, deep breath that it
seemed as if his soul was departing.
