Memphis Tbeater.

Drifting Clouds" was reproduced last
night with Charlotte Thompson in the
leading role, Phyllis Denohr, and sup
ported by fair company Of people. The
drama is Of the emotional and sensational
school, in which Miss Thompson finds
ample scope for the display Of her ability
and versatility as an actress, aud in this
respect she pleascs and satisfies audiences.
The play has strong melodramatic scenes,
relieved occasionally by comedy part,
which is Clevcrly introduced. As an en-
tirety the production is satisfactory. To-
night Jane Eyre" will be presented. and
will be repeated at the matinee tomorrow,

able Information contained within it's
ninety-six pages is simply wonderful. No
expense has been spared by the manager Of
The MINER, Mr.. Moritz Koch, in the pre-
paration Of the great work. Mr.. Phil A.

graduated on his work while the labors Of

ia one very remarkable thing
connected with the work-the advertise
ment of James II. Lynch is precisely the
same as the cover of the Inter Mountain
Holiday edition. This, however, is only
a sample OF the theory that great minds
run in the same channel. The cover Of the
Inter Mountains number was printed in
the East. while Will designed his beautiful
figure in Butte. That is all. We under.
stand that the Miner people have printed
nearly 80, 900 copies OF their book, and all
OF them will 60, for the work is we'll worth

cents and send the Holiday Miner to them.

Uncle Toms Cabin.

Abbey's Double Uncle Toms Cabin Com
papy opened to a crowded house last night.
The play was far superior to all others
presented in Butte this season. The Hyer
sisters, as Topsy numbers 1 and 2, took
the house by storm with their admirable
singing and inirnitable darkey antics. They
would have sung all night if the audience
sonation OF Eva was a remarkable piece OF
juvenile acting, and if the child had been a
loot taller, the words of wisdom that rolled
out OF her lips would have sounded more
natural. All the characters were well sus-
tanned, and the pathetic scenes being more
than balanced by the comic features OF the
play and the splendid singing, the audience
we're kept in an excellent humor, and testi-
fed their appreciation by frequent encores
and unlimited applause. Unc Toms
Cabin 10 the greatest su, cess OF the season,
and those who would secure good seats ior
tonight should attend to it early.

the reassembling Of Congress changing the
rates named in the original bill more espe.
cially for the transmission of press matter.
While he believes congress ought to pre-
scribe the rates for the use of Government
wires as it prescribes for the use OF mail in.
stead OF leaving it to the discretion OF Off
cials, yet the rates named in his bill were
desigued merely as suggestion to the COM
mittee which should have the bill in
charge. With subsequent study and with
the information which has come to him
from many sources, he has reached the
conclusion that there
OUGHT TO BE NO DIFFERENCE
upon Government lines between services OF
kecharaeter rendered to evening and that
to morning papers. Hesays he app. eciates
that the weight OF reason which leads pri-
vate companies to charge more for day
than night service, namely. the fact that
wires are in great demand for commercial
messages at comparatively higher rates
during the hours from ten in the morning
till two or three in the afternoon. But he
b. lieves such reasons should not operate
as regards Government lines, and that the
should have no preferred pat
ron as to rates for like classes OF business,
or as to the order OF transmission.
THE RATES
to be named in his amendment are based
upon unit of 100 words or traction there
Of and are as follows: For 500 miles or
less, 25 cents; between 500 and 1000
miles. 80 cents; between 1000 and l.! 90
miles, 35 cents between $500 and 1000
miles. 40 cents; between 1000 and 5000
niles. As cents, and for more than 5000
miles so cents. When more than one copy
of the same dispatch is sent to different
at the same or different offices
he Postmaster Ge 'eral is to prescrib the
'ates to be charged fer drop copies.
