REDUCTION in RAILROAD RATES,
The Northern Pacific Issues Its Five
Cent Per Mile Tariff to Take
Eject January 1. 1887.

1t has generally been known for some
time past that the Northern Pacific Rail
road would reduce it's present passenger
rates on all main line and branches in
Montana, Idaho, Washington Territory
and Oregon, ard make a uniform rate OF
5 cents per mile. This important change
was iDaugurated by the management some
time since. The reduction is the result OF
a continued development Of local passenger
travel and increased earnings.
The new passenger tariffs prepared on
the 5 cents per mile basis were received
from st. Paul this morning, and will be put
into effect January 1. 1887.

How these kings and emperors do love
one another to be sure. When the Regent
of Bavaria arrived in Berlin the other day
he was met at the cars by the Emperor and
the Crown Prince, BOTH of whom embraced
him and kissed him repeatedly on the lips
and on both cheeks. As all this was done
in the sight of and for the edification of the
people it is gratifying to know that they
cheered him hilariously at ever royal salu-
tation. They may conclude to give royalty

A Large House and Sport fer tn
Crowd.
The pavilion contained 500 or 600 peo
pie last evening to witness the sparrin,
exhibition given by the Burke Dempsey
combination. Ed Monahan was chosen
referee and Dune Mcdonald held the chro
nometer.
Several set-tos were had between loca
sparrers, which created a great deal o.
amusement, especially when a chauce blow
would send one Of the boys under the ropes
to the floor, outside the platform. This
was kept up nearly an hour to the infinite
delight of the crowd, when Dempsey and
Jimmie Bates were announced. The men.
ton OF their names was received with an
ovation OF cheers, and they gave a fine
exhibition OF the s~lugging art. This was
followed by a set-to by other local boxers
when
BURKE AND BATES
were announced. Burke showed to fine
advantage, but his opponent, though a
very clever sparrer, had but little show
with the Irish boy.
Again local hitters occupied the time an
til the attractions OF the evening.
BURKE AND DEMPSEY,
made their appearance. They were
received with tremendous applause,
and o o went to work. They

ton was simply sparring for points, no ef-

lnent upon the other. At the conclusion
of their set-to it ri announced that Dune
Mcdonald would spar with both uf them
at the same place this evening: It will be
worth seeing, as Dunes strength and skill
will be pitted against professionals who
are supposed not to count size in non-pro-
opponents.
1t was announced that $25 would be
given to any man in Butte who would
before Dempsey for three rounds,
and $50 if he held out FIVE rounds. And il
ne made a good fight he should have the
S25 anyway. There is a chance for some
to make $25 or $50 this evening.

M. B. Curtis, the famous dialect CO.
median, will make his first appearance
at the Grand Opera House next Tues.
day, beginning an engagement of i've
nights and Saturday matinee. opening
ia his celebrated impersonation Of
Sam'l Plastrick in "Sam'l Of Posen, I"
a, present drawing large houses at the
Bush Street Theater San Francisco. The
Evening Post says;
M. B. Curtis, as "Sam'l of Posen, Z"
the commercial drummer, made his an
nual bow to good house last evening.
His audience saw the came pleasant
faced, bright. energetic, strictly business
character, which has come to be regard
ed as the proper type of the commercial
agent to be described in print and repre-
sented upon the stage. Curtis appears
| to fit naturally into the personality Of
Samuel PIastrick. He loses his own
identity for the time, and so finished is
his representation OF the character that
| it is does not appear to be an acted part,
but live reality. In look, speech,
| movement; in the inexhaustible fund of
sharp sayings, witticisms, and all varied
slang with which the conversation of
these 'sknights OF the gripsaek and sam
| pie trunk" is generally interlarded,
there is nothing left wanting to make
the picture a perfect one. The piece has
been played here several times before.
and ii has always found favor with the
public. Mr.. Curtis has not suffered it
to degenerate, but in many Of its details
it has been improved and its stock OF
jokes freshened by additions. Miss AL
hina De Mer as Celeste IL also known to
us, and hers Is as finished q piece Of
acting Ia its way as that of Sam'l. 1t is
seldom that the pronounced French ac-
cent is so correctly given or the charac-
teristic gestures and facial changes pecu-
liar to the French character so accurate
| ly represented.
