Superior acting was all that saved the
presentation of "rhe Tigress" from being a
wretched failure. The play itself is very
bad. It's weak and unconnected parts ap-

absolutely nothing in it except broad sug-

manner. There was a deafness in the dia-
logue and AN absence of comedy relief from
the dry details of the play. The only at

the cynicism and cruelty of the villainous
adventurer as though nature had never in
tended him for anything else. The French
accent was given with good modulation and
care. The other characters were as well
played by the company as the play would
permit. II is the best dramatic company
that has appeared IN Helena this season.
This evening charming and successful
play will be presented. The Burglar il
adapted from Mrs. Bumetts story, Edith's

characters are as natural as could he ex-

He said that both goods and clothing should

continued, 'woolgrowing is dying through
out the United States. and without relief
must soon perish. The Texas wool clip IN
1883 was valued at 9.29s, ,2Si; in 1887 it was
