Twenty-Five Old Maids.
From the San Francisco Examiner

From the San Francisco Examiner
81 came to see about your advertise
ment for leo old maids" said an Exam
liner reporter last evening to Mr.. Frost
at the Grand Opera House.
s'Well, the lady who does the engag-
ing is not here" said Mr.. Frost, coldly
cycling the reporter, but | scarcely
think"
but did not come to get an engage
ment; I'm from the Examiner"
80. see! Well, we have engaged
twenty five, and will engage about that
many more. What do we want with
them? Why to place them on exhibit
ton. The very fact that lady &C.
knowledges herself TO be an old maid
excites a curiosity to see her. How
many of your lady acquaintance have
ever made that admission in serious
ness? Not one! thought so; Some
Of these ladies that came for business
engagement backed out at the
last moment, and would not
admit that they were old
maids, but said they were nearly 30
years old. Well, had no doubts about
their being 80 years Of age, but we could
not engage them unless they admitted
point; and as they were their own
judges, we acted on their admissions.
But those that were engaged said they
were old maids, some admitting that
they were just 30 years Of age, and few
others that they had just passed 30. No,
I'm not going to be 80 ungallant as to
say that any OF them are more this 81 or
32-let the audience do that. Yes, these
old maids will be grouped In the audi
forum, like wax figures In a museum.
Artistic attention will be given to the
grouping. The sour old maid, the sweet
old maid, the cranky old maid and the
old maid that has never been kissed will
be upon one platform, so as to make a
fitting contrast In the blending. But
perhaps Pm too fast. We have not
yet got the old maid that has
never been kissed. She will, per-
haps, show up on Monday. Oh. there's
no doubt but that there's at least one
old maid in this city who has not been
| kissed. Wen have her here, II we have
to send over to Oakland for her. Well,
the audience is to vote the prizes for the
ugliest, prettiest, most esthetic, guish-
ing old maids. and then we hand over
the prizes. Yes, these ladies were Sc
rious and accepted these engagements
as matter Of business, but 1t is a great
compliment to the gallantry Of your m, n
and their admiration for fema'e lowell
ness and beauty that there Is such
scarcity OF old maids In the city. Well,
there might be little feminine timidity
about the matter, too. No, the three
little maids just from school have not ap-
! piled yet"

League as well as by the party nOmlna-

has been elected.
( The contest for sheriff of Medina
county was close between Joe Ney and
Sheriff Thumm.
The saloons by large majority,
opened up n little " lille after the polls
closed, although the law says they shall
remain closed until II o'clock.
A great many Of the political hacks
had gallon jugs Of whisky In them, and
it wasn't very good whisky either.
Billie Knox worked hard for Ramsay.
1t Is said by several Of the
powers that be, that several saloon men
will be indicted by the next grand jury
for selling liquor on election day.
A gang OF negroes started on the war
path last night, but were soon checked
by the police.
Geo. BOYLE became little too drunk
and noisy in halooing for his candidates
last night at Precinct poll 20, and was
arrested.
A six shooter fray between couple
of stockmen in one of the plaza saloons
came near coming of last night. The
gums" were drawn, but didn't go of.
There were no Misunderstanding at
the pol yesterday, that could be heard
OF. except at precinct No. "a, where one
politician got on the war path little.
At No. !, the bat cave precinct, Anto-
MO Rivas called Francois, OF the San
Pedro club, q liar, because Francois said
he saw Rivas buy Mexlcan's vote, and
deliver the cash. Francois says he can
prove his assertion.
No definite returns in precinct 20 could
be obtained, but the tally sheets showed
that the peoples ticket had good ma
jOrity.
As the vote stands. with II precincts
heard from, CassianO is slightly ahead.
In precincts No. and 20 the peoples
ticket is considerably ahead, though the
county is not yet completed. In No.
q this is the same.
CassianO's majority in precincts II. II,
and 10, Is 2I3. Ramsay's majority in
precincts g, 8, 2, q, 4 and 20 is 564.
1t is conceded that precincts 3, 4, 2S,
20 and q went against the straights,
while 20 rolled up big majority for
Cassiano of over 300.
The general impression is, that Lewis,
Froboese, Smith, Poor and Statiel are
and Bergstrom and between Cassiano
and Ramsey will be close. Ramsey
gains over 400 votes in the city over the
vote cast for Sinner in 1884. when Cas-
sisno's majority in the county was about
240. The vote at none of the city pre-
cincts has been counted in full. The
contest for constable lies between
Stevens and Martinez.

juries at the Oregon House fire, died at 2
p. N. yesterday Afternoon at the residence
OF Mr.. Jacob HOFFMAN, on West Wash
ington street, where she had been under
treatm: ut since her removal from the
Sisters Hospital, several days ago. The
best medic i skill pr~ocurable was unable to
save the poor iady's life, so terribly was
she burned and NJ intense was her mental
agony v the shocking death of her
youngest-born. Her sufferings were ale
viated to some extent. however, by the
universal sympathy extended her by the
good people OF Butte. who not only en-.
to comfort her with kind words,
but subscribed a large amount ofmoney for
her benefit. This money will be placed in
trust for the two little boys she leaves
behind.
The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock
this afternoon from the HOFFMAN resi-
dence, and its expenses will be betrayed by
Mss Katie Magee, the lady who conducted
the Oregon House when it was destroyed.
Mrs. Lee was a widow, and her only
relatives at present in Butte are the two
helpless little ones left orphans by her
death.

MlLN As "BERTUCClO.'

The Burlington Hawkeye Of October rs,
1885, has this to say OF George c. Min as
Bertuccio in 1.-THE Fools Revenge
1.-THE principal interest Of the play centers
in the role OF Bertuccio, the Jester. It is
not al easy one to p%ersonify. 1t is a part
which requires the incest discr; mination,
the most careful study of detail, the fullest
comprehension of the intentions OF the
author, to enable him to keep within
the proper bounds OF the natural
and avoid the but too common and
always distressing fault of exaggeration.
Mr.. Min avoided the reefs successfully and
created a portrait OF admirable beauty,
bringing out all the strong points Of the
role, all the depth Of feeling, all the violence
OF passion, which agitate the jester, with
superior skill, and creating a part which
irresistibly captivated the spectator,
being so thoroughly human and appeal
ingso e~loquently to human fellow-feeling.
There but few tragedians who can attempt
the role of B%ertuccio with success. Booth
is one OF them; Min, We are pleased to say,
is another. There is some difference in the
conception OF the role by these two, but
We believe that Mr.. Minis rendition would
please the larger number. 1t Is as fni> he'd
as that OF MIR. Booth, but ia not SO har-
rowing as the iatter's; it touches the heart
more closely. Mr.. Minis career on the
stage, as everybody knows. is but a few
short years only. but It is brilliant. He is
growing constantly in strength"
Mr.. Min will open his weeks engagement
at the Grand next Monday evening as
Bertucci0, supported by an exceptionally
strong company. The sale Of seats begins
this morning at Grix's.
