The Senator regretted not having that

certainly large enough stake to begin

How George WOOdthorpe Saved q
Seven Hundred Dollar House
for Frank Mayo.

This winter, four years ago, Frank Mayo
was playing a star engagement in Roches-
ter, New York. The play was Davy Crock
EFT and it was Saturday night and the
closing night of the Star. His leading lady
took i'll quite suddenly that evening after
the matinee-so i'll that her appearance
hat night was out OF the question. Mean
time hopes were entertained that she
might rally and endeavor to go through
the part of Eleanor Vaughan. The house
opened, Mr.. Audience assembled, and after
all hope had vanished OF giving the per-
Torrance of "Davy Crockett" Mr.. Sheri-
dan Corbynr, Mr.. Mayo's manager, came
before the curtain and was about to po-
litely tell the audience to 60 to the box Of
fee for their money. in consequence OF the
leading lady : il ness, when he suddenly be-
held Miss Woodthorpe entering a private
box, and making straight across the stage,
says, "Georgie, l want you on
the stage imme. liately. Go and play
Eleanor Vaughan, Mr.. Corbynn knew that
at the California Theatre San Franci-co
the little lady played the part several
nights there with Mr.. Mayo. Although a
period of three years had elapsed since
then, Miss Woodthorpe went on and
played the part, speaking every llue just as
il she had but played it yesterday. Mr..
Mayo made a graceful speech at the end OF
the performance, and Miss Woodthorpe
had this introduction to the people OF
Rochester, so that when she appeared III
her own play the following Monday night.
She was received as an old favorite. Her
happening to drop into the theatre that
night saved Mayo 500. This is a true
story.

Copper has not varied materially from
it's position Of last week. The lake COM
panies pursue the even tenor of their way;
sell moderately to all who will pay twelve
cents, and scorn all the lower offers. Navi-
CATION being closed they can only ship by
rail, and feel inclined to make the buyers
pay the extra freight, and the end of it all
is likely to be a long winter sale between
the limits Of twelve and twelve end one
hall cents. The Arizona brands are quoted
at eleven and o%ne-quarter cents, and Balti-
more casting at $1,000. Sales, however,
are extremely light, and for the week, at
New York, do not exceed 600. 900 pounds.
The well named Anaconda mine is the GEN.
tire OF interest, and It's operations seem to
be as mysterious as ever, but the best au-
thorities assert that the strike has been
settled and that the works all are, or soon
will be running full blast and turning out at
least 1000 tons of matte per month. The
probability Of all this is fully confirmed by
the trend Of prices at London, where Chill
