AGONY, AGONY.
The GiIt-Edged Article Layished at the
Opera House.

Those who believed that the perform
ance of She, recently given in the opera
house, was superlatively bad had at that
time never seen The Wages Of Sin as in
terpreted by Miss Adele Payn and her
supporting company. Placed side by side
in a twenty-four foot ring, London prize
ring rules, The Wages of Sin would take
the cake with one hand tied behind Its
back. In fact in a contest between the
very tartest performances that the long
suffering people of this glorious re-
public would stand, Miss Payn's
play would sell a hot favorite against
the field. We do not know whether Miss
Payn always feels as she did last night.
For her own sake it is to be hoped that
she does not. Her woe was as affluent as
Niagara. 1t believed the stage and sat
urated the audience. 1t rose like a mist
under the proscenium arch and the orches-
ira stood in it knee deep. The very at
mosphere seemed to quaver with anguish
and moist misery was held in solution in
the trembling air. Under a crushing
weight of agony which would have
knocked out a prize OK the heroine came
up smiling after each round.
An a~ttenuated gentleman who was BIZ
furcated with exceeding libcrality took the
part of the hero. He moved about on a
very insecure looking pair of legs and in
AZ 1901 ,.a1oat aEp,nvaa Of thn n1op
never condescended to betray the least ex-
element. He wasn't very much OF a
SLOUGH in the woe business himself. On
several occasions the hero and heroine got
a pretty even start from the judges stand
but it was a always a straight tip to buy
pools on the heroine for she never failed
to come first under the wire. The hero
seemed to move with toe weights under a
tight checkrein, and in the most spas
modic bursts of anguish there was a con-
seriousness that he wasn't slashing
around in the depths of gilt edged
sorrow. With the heroine it was differ
emit. She seemed to plunge her whole
heart and soul into it. There was appar-
entlG no mental restoration in any part of
her anatomy. With passionate abandon
ment she hurled herself into the very
vortex. Her facial expressions. her hol-
low eyes, her quavering voice, every line
of her supple figure throbbed in a very
ecstacy of woe and she didn't appear to
care a continental who knew it. at the
end of the sixth round she was awarded
first money by the referee.

He Was DaZed.

An unfortunate individual who reached
the city several days ago was still suffer
ing from the effects of Colorado whisky.
He mixed drinks with a moro serious re-
suit than usually attends such an indis-
erection. He fingered about a boarding
house until the proprietor wearied of his
presence, when he was forced to take up
a residence on the streets. By his pecu-
liar actions tie man several times attracted
the attention of the police and was yes
terday placed in the city Jail. Like the
lively ball player he was off his base"
seemingly dazed, unable to understand
anything going on about him and unable
to realize his condition. The unfortunate
will be detained to await developments.

MRS. C~ONkLING.
A Cheyenne MANS RecolIectIons of the
Lady.

In all the fulsome eulogies of Roscoe
Conkling the name of she who feels his
untimely loss more keenly than all others
has not been mentioned. Mrs. Conkling
is one of the first ladies Of the land both
by virtue Of her husbands exalted posi-.
ton and great career and on account of
her many true womanly traits. In the
troublous times when the householder was
uncertain whether he was sheltering an
enemy or friend Mrs. Conkling was, like
her husband, an ardent patriot.
A gentleman in this city has many
pleasant recollections of the great lady.
He was a member of the 9th New York,
a Utica regiment called the Conkling
guards. When camped in front of
Petersburg the warriors received a mag
nifcent stand of regimental colors from
Mrs. Conkling. The banner was carried
throughout the remainder of the war and
often shot. In one engagement six
standard bearers were killed underneath it.
When the regiment returned to Utica
at the close of the struggle both the Sen
ator and Mrs. Conkling visited the boys
in camp and grasped each veteran by the
hand.

A DAFT GENIUS.
Poor SiIas French, Who Makes
Odd Models.
An Unfortunate Who Thinks He is
a Great Inventor.
Believes that He Can Overcome
Centrifugal Force.

An unpretentious cottage in the thickly
populated portion of the southern district
of the city is tenanted by an ingenious
mechanic whose scant livelihood is gained
in the mysterious ann in which many
an unfortunate manages, under adverse
circumstances, to exc out an existence
which must be anything but satisfactory.
Silas French, as he will be called for this
occasion, is a man whose life has been
wrecked by a series of ov%erpowering mis-
fortunes. Ten years ago he married the
love of his youth. Iu four years he was
a widower and the parent of two mother
less children. They died at intervals of
one year. A strike sent him tramping.
He found solace in liquor, and became
such a slave to drink that steady employ
ment could no longer be secured. Eigh-
teen months ago he reached Cheyenne,
and has been a hermit in a metropolis
since that time. The neighbors have
ceased to note his eccentricittes and no
longer gossip his name. French is dead
to all save a few trusted friends in whom
he confdes.
A homeless pauper, broken down in
health and with a deep sorrow crushing
him to earth, it is no wonder that the
once keen perception has become dulled,
the bright eye dim and the active brain
dormant. Still he cannot be idle, and
the greater portion of his time is spent in
a well appointed shop or laboratory in the
cheerless hovel. In his own thoughts
French is a great inventor. By day he
dreams hat his name is stamped indelia-
bly, upon a score of useful appliances.
In visions he reads lengthy descriptions
of his labor saving inventions and votes
himself the presiding officer of a congress
of scientific men.
With all his vagaries the man really
has brains and may yet make a new ma
chine. He is not crazy enough to wrestle
with the perpetual motion problem nor
yet with air ships. His electrical expert
ments have been rather crnde, his ac-
quaintance with that branch being quite
limited.
French's great effort is to overcome cen
trifugal force and he firmly believes that
the task can be accomplished. 1t is not
this force as applied to globes which the
mechanic desires to subdue, but the fam
iliar example of water thrown in a circle
from a revolving sprinkler. He believes
that the water can be made to fall in a
square. French accepts the literal defn-
ition of the term, that is, the force which
tends to make a body fly from the center
around which it revolves." He is con-
WINGED that the the water thrown from the
rotary sprinkler should fall in a square as
well as a circle.
French has devised half a dozen mod
els to expound his ideas, and while none
have operated successfully he is still
hopeful of success.
By his acquaintance French is called
daft, but perhaps he is another great
being born an age before his time.

ANOTHER VENTURE.
The Silver Crown SmeIter to Be
Operated Again.
Representatives of the Syndicate
will Take Charge.
Ore from Several Mines to Be
Treated.

The glory of Silver Crown is to be re-
yiyed once more. Thanks to the indie
fatigable energy OF Maj. Glafcke and
other mine owners the smoke stack Of the
Baker & johnson Shelter will once more
emit murky clouds, the furnaces throw off
heat and the plant will be operated under
a competent management
Under the provisions of a contract re-
Gently signed. Messrs. Thomson and
Whyte of Hartville will under certain pre-
scrlbed conditions send a force of men to
Silver Crown to re-awaken the echoes of
the valley with the sound of machinery.
The duties of the parties of the second
part are not exceedingly arduous. but will
~necessitate the expenditure of quite a
sum of money. They are to place fifty
tons of ore from specified mines on the
smelter dump, and receive payment for
the mineral after il has been converted
into matte, at stipulated figures per
pound.
Thus a bright future opens up before
the persistent miners of Silver Grown.
Of all the plans yet proposed for the de-
velopment of the camp, this is the most
feasible and business like. As is well
known, Messrs. Thompson and Whyte
represent the Mathiesons at Hartville and
superintend operations there. In ship
ping ore to Eastern points the mine own
ers assumed great risk and paid enormous
freight rates. To transport the ore to
Hartville is entirely out of the question,
as freight would exceed the levy to
either st. Louis or Chicago.
During Prof. John I. Reese's admins
tration at Silver Crown four tons of coke
were used to reduce one ton of copper.
Mr.. Thomson has assured the
Cheyenne men that he will use
but one ton of coke in treating five tons
of ore. The experts state that the man
agement of the Silver Crown smelter last
summer would soon exhaust the funds of
a millionaire.
Ores from the Metcalf and other Silver
Crown mines will be treated and the
smelter will be started up in eight or ten
weeks.
1t is understood that Mr.. Thomson is
very favorably impressed with the APP.
pearance of several mines at Silver
Crown. 1t is not at all improbable that
the syndicate he represents will invest
there after a time. The fact that they
will purchase ores and extract the metal
speaks volumes.
AT all events Cheyenne will be material
ly benefited by the undertaking. Many
men who must draw supplies from this
city will be quartered in the suburban
camp for several months and perhaps for
an indefinite period.
