Manager Rhodes and others, who de-
sired to show their appreciation of Col.
Mapleson and Minnie Hauk, the prima
donna, arranged for a serenade to the
sweet singer, and to that end procured the
services of the Fort Russell military band,
which came down to Cheyenne about l
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Shortly
after this the band paraded the streets
~discoursing fine music, after which it drew
up in front of the Inter Ocean hotel,
where the prima donna was stopping, and
played several sweet and appropriate airs.
Minnie Hauk appeared on the balcony OF
the hotel and gracefully acknowledged the
compliment paid her and expressed her
self as very agreeably surprised at the cor

A large and elegant audience witnessed
the performance of Carmen by Her
Majesly's Open company last night. 1t
might be said at once hat the perform
ance fully satisfied the highest expecta-
items and that probably no finer entertain
ment was ever offered the Cheyenne public.
Mr.. Mapleson, as well as the magager of
the opera house, deserve great praise for
having selected Carmen as the opera OF
the evening, not only on account of it be-
ing the greatest operate success Of the
last fifteen years, but also because it
offered the best opportunity to introduce
Mr.. Mapleson's principal prima donna,
one of the greatest operate artists Of the
present day. The cast as presented last
night can hardly be surpassed anywhere.
The same cast presented the opera at its
production at Her Majesty's theatre Lon
don, and will play the opera again during
the forthcoming operate season there.
Not only is Minnie Hauk universally
recognized as the standard Carmen"
but Del Puente, the baritone, is the finest
Bull fighter and Signor Raveli, the
tenor, one of the best Don Jose's" of
the operate stage.
With these three artists in the cast, and
the minor parts filed by competent artists,
with a well trained and numerous chorus.
and with an orchestra under the expert
enced leadership of Signor Arditi, the
famous composer, the performance was
bound to be successful. 1t might be
added that Signor Arditi resumed his
duties as conductor of the orchestra yes
terday for the first time since four weeks.
He was taken i'll at Chicago and joined the
company but a few days ago. He stated
asst night that he had still in mind the
generous reception rendered him two
years ago. and it was intended as a com
pliment to Cheyenne hat he resumed his
duties here again.
Judging from the generous applause,
from the frequent encores and recalls after
the acts, the opera proved to be a great
success. Nothing more can be said re-
garding the principal artists, than what
has already been said in these columns.
Minnie Hanks performance is one of the
finest things to be seen on the operate
stage. Her voice is of a deep, metallic
richness and peculiar fascinating quality,
a voice which comes from the heart and
goes to the heart of her audience. In her
appearance, dress, in acting and singing,
she fully comes up to the highest expec-
tation. Sig. Raveli. the tenor, has a very
fine voice, which he used with great effect,
Notwithstanding the stage managers re
quest for the indulgence of the audience
in his favor. Sig. Del Puente enthused
the house by his rendition of the Tore
dor, and Mile. Dotti made the part of
"Michela very attractive. Altogether
the performance was a great success.

He departed on Saturday night or Sunday
morning for the East and took his wife
along with him, He had just concluded
his labors as legislative reporter, in which
field of labor he was assisted to such an
extent by Chief Clerk Hosford, of the
council, and Chief Clerk Clark, of the

except to copy from their minutes or to
write down what they dictated to him.
johnson was promptly on hand to draw

which his wife had saved up from various
amounts which he had from time to time
given her, the two departed. 1t could

Special Correspondence OF THE LKADER
LANDER, Wyo., March ia few
days since, as Mr.. Jack Osborn, a well
known hunter, ranchman and prospector
of this section was coming down the Bald
win creek on his way to Lander he dis
covered in the freshly fallen snow the
tracks of a huge otter. Now, an otter
has long been a rarity in the streams OF
this vicinity and Jack at once made up
his mind to capture the stranger. Going
back to hisranch he got his dog "Dipper,"
IN animal that has captured many a
beaver and otter in their. native element,
and hurredly returning placed him upon
the fresh trail. The days Of his youth
returned to old "Dipper." His eyes
grew bright, his tail stiffened aud with a
low whine Of delight he started. The
otter was making down the stream and
the dog pursued him from one deep water
hole to another. Finally, when within a
mile Of Lander the game was flushed.
The otter was in a deep pool III rounded
by rocks in the center of which was a
large air hole, "Dipper' at once plunged
through the opening in the ice and soon
there came to the anxious, listening ears
OF Osborne the mufled sounds of the
desperate struggle. The water rose in
surges through the air hole and washed
far out on the ice. Suddenly there came
through the water the plaintive death
cry Of an otter, and Osborne knew that
"Dipper' had scored one more triumph.
In a moment or two the gallant dog APP
peared at the edge of tho air hole.
He was utterly exhausted, and his master
had to help him out on the ice. Once
there it was evident that the old dog had
caught his last otter. When driven to
bay, the sharp teeth Of the water weasel
had cut deep aud often, and Dippcr was
covered with fatal wounds. Satisfied that
the otter was dead, Osborne procured an
axe and assistance and cut holes in the ice
until he found the carcass. By the aid of
a graphing hook the dead otter was
pulled upon the ice. 1t proved to be a
male, weighing twenty-seye pounds. As
the body was dragged forth, Dipper feebly
whined and painfully and slowly drawing
himself along the ice, laid his head on the
dead otter and expired.
Lander is to have a Knights of Labor
lodge. 1t will be organized on the 18th of
this month.

Secretary Lamar's decision reversing
Commissioner Sparks ruling in the case
er payfe Britt, will be hailed with pleas
ure by settlers everywhere on the public
lands.
In order to explain Just what is decided,
it is well to know that Mr.. Sparks held
that a person who proves up on a
presumption, and afterwards makes a
homestead filing, could not commute
the homestead entry by paying cash
therefor within the period of FIVE years.
OF course the ruling of Mr.. Sparks also
went to the extent of prohibiting a per-
son who had first commuted on a home
stead from pre-empting afterwards.
Secretary Lamar, who is not only a
sound lawyer, but a broad minded states
man, very wisely reverses the very narrow
and cramped ruling Of Mr.. Sparks. MIR.
Lamar recognizes the important fact that
the public lands are open for settlement,
and not TO be Kept as public commons
whereon cranky lawyers in official posi-
tons may split hairs for all time.
This decision affects hundreds of peo-
pie in Wyoming who will rejoice to learn
the good news.

An informal and unofficial board of
capitol commissioners took a drive around
the city yesterday afternoon, for the pur-
pose of looking over the various sites
that have been proposed by different per
sons. The city park was first visited, but
lying alongside the park and on the east
side Of Warren avenue, a nearly vacant
block and a half which has been proposed
and mentioned by some as an eligible site.
Further east and to the south on House
street, there is also a vacant block which
has been spoken of and which is looked
upon as being quite likely to be selected
in case the capitol ZONES south Of Twenti-
eth street. The number of the block is
296. The corner owned by Willis Van
Devanter was locked at. and also the pro-
posed elevated site at the head of Seven
teenth street, overlooking lake M~innehaha.
Should this be selected it would be a good
one. Besides Capitol hill, there are g v
eral other locations in the city which are
said to be eligible, but time alone can tell
which of them will be selected.
