News says of the star:
One thing that made last night particu-
larly important was the first appearance OF
Mrs. Boucicault. A fashionable audience
assembled to greet her, and here and there
through the house were old admirers who
had not seen the lady for some years and
who could remember the day when Agnes
Robertson Boucicault was young and
lovely and had the world at her feet.
Time has not dealt harshly with her, and
her acting

with the old fire. There is grace in every
movement. There is true pathos in her
voice and her weeping OF the suppressed
kind chat infects the auditor and seems to
fairly shatter her own frame. Mrs. Bouci-
cault is older thar she once was, but so is
Edwin Booth, so is Lawrence Barrett, so is
Clara Morris, and SO are all the long line of
great ones who adorn the stage of to-day.
We 60 to see them, nevertheless, and
greatly enjoy their acting. The company
shows to great advantage in this pure,
clean. romantic drama. Mr.. Duncan Brad

This lady should always smile, for she is

OF the forehead, glanciug around the skull
and issuing behind the ear. There was but
one eye witness, the wife of one of the new
engineers. She partly corroborates He'd
berg's story. There is considerable testi.
mony against Hedberg to be developed. It
will be sworn that while in a pool room a
short time before the shooting he made a
threat that he would shoot any man who
followed him. 1t is alleged hat Newell and
Cable were on the way to Alderman Erick-
house to ask him to come to a eau
Gus, and that they did not follow Hedberg
or start a row with him. Newell was one

Then you are positive that Butte will

There is no question Of it. The advan-

In the first place, it will be in position TO
advertise to the world that not only has
the route from Chicago to Butte been
shortened by nearly ninety miles, but
practically to say that it is the shortest
line between those two points. In less than
six months passengers leaving Butte Will
take their departure for the East via the
Northern Pacific at the same time as trains
leave Helena and the vexatious delays that
have occurred at Garrison which baye oc'

The reservacation bill had passed both
houses a week or ten days 90. The
President referred the same to the Secretary
OF the Interior who has not yet reported it
back. It is feared by some that the
Secretary will find some technicalfault with
the bill and prevail upon the President to
withhold his signature. in which event
there will be howl from that section that
will be heard at the White House, as this
measure contemplates the realization OF

Love-Making by Telephone.

 Herr Muller, the manufacturer. had come home from his wedding tour. and had enjoyed a week of the honey moon in his new house. Then he re- alized that he must attend to business, and with woeful heart bade his lit- tie wife farewell and went to his office, whole mile distant. But the long hours of separation from the sharer of his bliss or grief were such a heavy trial to his endurance that he finally connected his place of business and his home by telephone wire Thereupon tender words of deep affec- tion were hurried to and fro by the loving couple through every hour of the day. Alter week had thus passed the office work grew more pressing and our business man felt forced to check such an extravagant waste of valuable time. He had also begun to think that Ludmilla's soft words were getting tiresome and uninteresting, yet he would not for worlds allow his wife to have suspicion of this. His genius for invention solved the riddle of how to help himself. There was old Herr Robes, an ancient clerk, about past working but kept by the firm to do odd jobs. He was pecu- liar old bachelor, with a crimson nose and sentimental turn of thought. He was accustomed to whispering TO- mantle speeches into young ladies' ears, and delighted to fancy all the fair sex must adore him. Then, too, the sound of his voice was wonder fully similar to Muller's. This man was given some secret oroers, and next day Robes was seated at the telephone and absorbed in an amorous talk with his unseen partner, while his master was engaged with his correspondence. Not at all as Muller expected, Lud- milla seemed to enjoy more and more her husbands conversation, and the telephone was kept in continual use The manufacturer was now able to do business without hindrance, mean while his wife was gwen no cause to complain of his lessening interest in her. This condition of affairs was very agreeable. One day Muller had to make business call quite near his house and left the office unusually early, entirely forgetting Robes and the telephone, and having made his call he went directly home, as it had become too late to matter about going back to the office. What was his amazement on entering the house to find his wife reclining on the lounge, wholly lost i'll the newest novel, while at the telephone, earnestly conversing with the gentleman at the office, sat Babette, the old cook!

''On the white throat of the useless passion That scorched my soul with it's burning
 breath,
 clutched my fingers in murderous fashion, And gathered them close in a grasp of death For why should fan, or feed with fuel love that showed me but blank despair3 So my hold was firm, and my grasp was cruel meant to strangle 1t, then and therei "I thought it was dead. But with no warning It rose from it's grave last night, and came And stood by my bed till the early morning, And over and over it spoke your name. It's throat was red where my hands had held It. It burned my brow with it's scorching breath And said, the moment my eyes beheld it, "A love like thus can know no death.' "For just one klss that your lips have given In that lost and beautiful past to me, I would gladly barter my hopes of heaven And all the bliss of eternity. For never a joy are the angels keeping, To lay at my feet in Paradise. Like that ofinto your strong arms creeping, And looking into your love-lit eyes. "I know, in the way that sins are reckoned, This thought is sin of the deepest dye; But know, too, if an angel beckoned, Standing close by the Throne on High, And you, adOwn by the gates internal, Should open your loving arms and smile, 1 would turn my back on things supernal, To lie on your breast little while.

 Miss Wheeler was married in May, 1884, to MT. Wilcox, a gentleman of culture, wealth and high social stand ing. Last May she lost lovely baby boy. She came to New York a few months ago, and will make this city her home.
 Mrs. Wilcox has received warm welcome from the best literary circles. Her apartments are said to be charm ingly artistic. We never read a poem of hers without feeling of pride that she is an American. We have art and great artists-but after all (to close with quotation from one of her poemS:

 MAsToDoN GIGANTEUs.-Some thirty species of msstodon, the great foss;, mammal quite closely allied to the elephant, have been described, their bones having been found in recent geo. logical deposits of all quarters of the globe except Africa. The best known species is the North American masto- don (M. Giganteus), of which frag- ments are frequently disinterred in different parts of the United States. A few remains had been discoveied as early as 1705, though nothing like a complete skeleton was obtained until 1901. The most perfect skeleton now known was discovered at Salisbury Mills, near Newburg, N. Y, in 1877, and is now mounted in the American Museum of Natural History, New York City. By the side of this speci- men will soon be placed the skeleton of Barnum's great Asiatic elephant. killed at the late fire, and in the near future good example of the African elephant will make the third figure in a notable group. Compared with the mastodon the elephant shows greater height and shorter body, together with many other differences.

Newspaper English.
Yenowine's NeMs.


 Of course, every body knows that the primary object of publishing newspaper-like the primary object of any other branch of private busi- ness-is to make money for the pub fishers. Secondary and auxiliary ob- jects toward securing the success of this chief end and the securing and publication of news, the advocacy of certain views on public questions, and, in most cases, the advocacy and support of the principles and candi- dates of some political party, etc. In all this, publishers and editors are forced to be controlled by a due sense of decency and by knowledge of the responsibility attaching to what may be published.
 Incidentally, after all these matters have received due attention, it is re- quired of editors that they shall make their papers, to some degree, at least, models of correctness in the use of language. In the palmy days of the literary supremacy of the Boston Globe, for illustration-when E. P. Whipple, one of America's greatest essayists, wrote the book reviews, "Ben," Woolt, author of tho "Mighty Dollar" etc., wrote the dramatic crit icisms, Murray Ballou, president of the brokers board and fine scholar, contributed the financial articles and Alexander Young, the magazinist, the Honorable George B. Loring, Charles Eyre Pascoe, now the well-known London writer, Clarence Wason, now editing an American paper in Paris, and number of other eminent writers were editors-that paper was such model of fine English compo- sition, in all its parts that it was adopted in place of a reading book in some of the New England schools.
 When William Cullen Bryant was editor in chief of the New York Ecentng Post, he kept posted list of words which were "never to be used" in the paper-a sort of "Index Ex- ,purgatorious" in the interest of pur- ity of language. Uuder MT. Bryant's administration, in the published statements in his paper, nobody ever "plead," but "pleaded;" nobody "donated" but "gave;" nobody "con- menced," but "began," etc. Some newspaper men were disposed to ridi- cule the venerable poet-editor's pe- culiar ideal but, to a large extent, the list of words prohibited in the Eren- ing Post office, gradually dropped out of use in the well-conducted papers of the country.
 It is familiar, and true, saying that, to large degree, use decides the meaning of words. But, there are some words which, no matter how much they may be used, can never be twisted out of their proper meaning and made to have any new and strained significance. Take the word "caption," for instance. In its proper sense, it is good word. It is derived from the Latin Cdpio to capture or seize. In the sense in which it is used technically, in law, it has reference to the service of an indictment, etc. But, by some mistaken idea of its origin, caption" has found its way into some newspapers as synonymus with "head- ing" or "title" for an article of report. So many times has it been misused in this way, that the compilers of Web ster's Unabridged dictionary call atten- tion to it, saying that Gin this sense, the word %" is not used by our best writers"

The public need no longer complain of

one of the finest ever set in motion by

more than ten seconds IN = month"; min

The clock is to strike the hours on the big
