Week-Other Notes of the Stage

Commencing tomorrow evening, for six
nights and two matinees, the Grand Opera
house will be occupied by one of the most sue
cessful of American plays, William Giilette's
sHeld by the Enemy" The play will be pre-
sented by the exact same cast, and with all the
scenic and mechanical effects that we-o seen
during It's late successful at the Star Thea
ter, New York city. "Held by the Enemy" is
purely American play, distinctly native,
spirited, with touches OF tragedy. heroism,
hunor and pathos and since its presentation
here last season number of important changes
have been made in its dialogue and situations
The third act has been entirely rewritten, and
gives an opportunity for scenic effects which
the play did not before possess. The career of
this piece furnishes q peculiar incident in the
history of theatricals. as it is of the very
few dramatic productions of late years that
has attained such worldwide reputation. It
was written by Mr.. Gillette. produced by him.
backed by his own capital, and it's success is
due entirely TO his own efforts. Besides being
played the present time by three companies
in America, it is now running at the Vaudeville
Theater, London, England. where it has already
passed its three hundredth presentation. It
is in its sixth month at the Theater Royal. Mel
bourne, Australia. Arrangements have been
completed between Gillette and Hermann &
Haas, managers of the Stadt Theater, Berlin,
Germany, whereby the play is to be reproduced
in that country, after being translated and it's
incidents adapted to fit the Franco German war.
In England the play has received the stamp of
royal recognition by the Prince of Wales, who,
after witnessing performance of it. sent con-
gratulatory letter to Mr.. Gillette upon the re-
markable strength of his play. and concluded
his remarks by saying the play 'would cause a
demand for American work in England" The

So great was the demand for maps oc-
casioned by frequent changes in the situa-
ton of the armies, that it became impos-
sible by the usual method of tracings to
supply them. 1 conceived the plan of
doing this work by photography, though
expert photographers pronounced it i'm
practicable, in fact impossible. To me it
was an original idea, though 1 believe not
a new one, but not in practical use.
Traced copies were prepared on common
tracing paper in very black India ink, and
from these sharp negatives by sun print
ing were obtained, and from these mega
tves copies were multiplied by exposure
to the in frames made for the pur-
pose. The several sections, properly toned,
were pasted together in their order, and
formed the general map, or such portions
of 1t rs were desired; it being the policy,
as n matter of prudence against capture,
to furnish no one but the commanding
general and corps commanders with the
entire map of a given region.-Albert II.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. lO.-The weather
was unfavorable to-day and to might for
the great ratification meeting that was
advertised to take place. Early in the
day a steady drizzling rain set in and con-
tinued until nightfalI. The sidewalks
and streets were consequently deluged
with mud and altogether it was most disa-
greeable. In view of this u~nfavorable
outlook for an outdoor demonstration the
committee having the affair in charge
early in the afternoon called a meeting
and postponed the state ratification meet
ing until next Wednesday night.

The election season is a time of the
greatest excitement among the natives.
Each of the principal districts has its rep
resentatives in legislature: and when the
decisive day approaches the Kanakas come
tearing in to the polls from miles around,
with loose rein and jangling spurs and
flower garlanded horses. Professions are
formed with impromtu brass bands, and
a general commotion prevails. Any ma
i've may vote who has n knowledge of
reading and writing or who has never
served a term in prison. The different
parties are regaled beforehand on gin or
on coffee and d~oughnuts, according to
their political platform; and n victory is
celebrated by a grand luau, with attend
ant ceremonies. They are q warm hearted
and childlike people, and their character
istics are an interesting study.-Bertha
f. Herrick in Overland Monthly.

oes into the claiming business.

IT is very encouraging indeed to find
an American newspaper giving utterance
to such language concerning American
citizens as we append from the columns
Of that great exponent of Christianity
and prohibition, the, Laramie Sentinel:
The yellow liver, mosquito bitten, ague
shaken pukes of New Jersey, and the
hickory ham, leather gunfint, wooden
nutmeg makers of Connecticut appear to
have gone over to the solid south and
cast their fortunes with the confederate
brigadiers. We are ashamed OF them
both"
The only crime of the people of Con-
nectieut and New Jersey is that a MAORI,
ty of them saw fit to vote the Democratic
ticket. The broad minded West is GER
tainly not the quarter from which we ex-
pected to find such a senseless exhibition
of bigotry.

"Adrienne.Y

The celebrated French play Adrienne
LecouuTeur was put Upon the boards at the
opera house last evening with unqualified
success. The play was magpifcently cos
tuned, all of the toilets worn by Mile
Rhea being artistic triumphs. 1t is now
four years since the writer last saw Rhea,
and he looked in vain for those cxtraordi-
nary advances which it was alleged she
had made in tie mastery of the English
language. The accent is still such that
she cannot be readily followed without a
conscious effort. But she is a graceful,
charming woman, with a very attractive
stage presence, and a skill but little short
of inspirational in the selection of her
costumes.
With very few exceptions everybody
present thoroughly enjoyed the play. The
company was quite effective. Miss Ida
Waterman, as the Princess de Bullion"
gave the part a clear Characterization.

advantage as he did at the matinee per.

Select books that are informing, and
so far as in your power equip yourselves

before you take up its successor in your
reading course The perusal of a book
gives birth to ideas in no way connected
with the subject of which it treats. All
careful readers should, however, avoid
dwelling too long upon one line of study

Across the Continent


From the Atlantic seaboard daily journey
thousands of immigrants, hosts OF enter
prising tourists for spleasure,, occasional
European seekers for material for books
on America, multitudes of hardy native
and foreign agriculturalists and artisans,
all eager, all expectant, but all unaccus-
toned to the new climate of the frontier,
and all u~nft-unless protected with a
medicinal safeguard-to encounter mala-
ria, the chief foe to health in regions
newly cleared and opened up for settle
ment. These western bound travellers
will find in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
the safety from malafial infection they
might vainly seek from other sources.
Tried in all parts of the world, under ext
gencies the best fitted to show its value,
it has failed nowhere under the most ex-
acting conditions. In 50 many lands is it
in request that the demand for it may
well be termed universal. Not only ma
laria, but constipation, dyspepsia, bilious
ness, rheumatism, debility,
and i%naction of the kidneys are thoroughly
relieved by it.

JNO. r. CARROLL. Editor
roo CLOSE FOR COMFORT

TOO CLOSE FOX COMFOhI.
The contest between Mai. Glatcke and
Joe Fisher for the Office of county assessor
was the most closely contested ever known
in Laramie county, A careful canvass OF
the figures so far as they have been re-
ceived shows that each candidate received
precisely the same number Of votes. The
figures of course are only seml-othclal IN
character, and when the official count Is
held, as it must be within fifteen days
after the election, it may show a variation
of a dozen or more votes one way or the
other. Calculations have SO lar been
made on the returns received by THE
LEADER. These we're sent in, except
from three or four precincts, by the
Judges of election as o o as the count
was completed. and are therefore quite
reliable.
The official returns have not yet been
received from Arcola, Hawk Springs or
Phillips. Reliance, in these instances, has
been placed on the iragmentaEy returns Of
people who have come in from those sec
ions and whose memory may not be as
accurate as a tabulated statement. 1t is
remarkable the way in which the various
tallies kept on this vote have altered with
the varying hour. At first the chances
seemed all in favor of Mr.. Fisher, though
the vote was known to be ~uncomfortably
close. Then they switched to Mai.
Glafcke and he seemed to be certainly
elected, but corrected returns from the
country have constantly varied the com
plexion of things until the count In the
second ward of this city was completed.
Since that date a tie has been figured out
and nothing now remains to be done ex-
cept to wait patiently for the official count
to put an end to the misery. 1t does not
seem possible that the majority in either
case can be more than half a dozen.
All the returns are expected in by Tues
day at the latest.

WIND GARDENS.

Midway etween earth and SKY,
There the wild wind gardens lie,
Tossing gardens, secret bowers,
Full of songs and full of flowers,
Waiting down to us below .
Such n fragrance as we know
Never yet had lily or rose
Tina our fairest garden knowH.
Oh, those gardens, dear and far,
Where the wild wind fairies are!
Though we see not, we can hearken
To them when the spring skies darken,
Singing clearly, singing purely,
Songs of far OF Elf land, surely,
And they pluck the wild wind posies,
Lilies, viOlets and roses.
Philip Bourke Marston.
