BUTTE, April 10.-Although b police
are still hard AT work trying to discover
a clue to the perpetrators OF last Saturday
nights jewelry robbery, their efforts have
SO far amounted TO nothing. Descriptions
of the stolen goods have been forwarded

Arrest Of q Lunatic.

~ w 'f.'A ''
BUTTE, April 10.-This morning Officer
McLagRan was called 10 arrest an insane
man who was frightening the women and
children on lower Washington street.
The officer responded promptly and
found a man whom he recognized as
Michael Burns kneeling I'm the middle of
the street praying with all his might.
At intervals Burns would push his face
into the dust and pray all the louder.
He was placed under arrest and taken to
the comfy Jail. Here his insanity took a
different form and he began TO dance and
shout nj the top OF his voice. and
only ceased when compelled to
do SO from sheer exhaustion.
The people in the neighborhood
OF where he wa arrested said that Burns
visited the Catholic church where he re-
manned for several hours. apparently en-.
gagged in prayer. Ii was after leaving the
church that he resumed his devotional ex.
e~rcises in the street. Complaint Of in.
sanity has been lodgedhgainst him and his
case will probably be looked into by the
board of insanity to-day.

The Famouy Wrestler Is In Butte Pre-
pairing for schumacher.
BY the Standards Special Wire.
BUTTE, July 21.-Matsada ~Sorakichi,
the famous Japanese wrestler, and the
champion ~middleweight of the world,
arrived in town at noon to-day accom-
panied by his manager, Edwin L. Ziegler,
and his trainer, James Mccain of San
Francisco. IL was the first visit of the
Jap to as high an altitude as this, but he
came up here, seeking for other worlds
TO conquer. The Jap has been laid on
his back fewer times probably than any
wrestler living. He is the unknown who
has come here to meet Pete Schumacher
of Anaconda.
Sorakichi took an extended walk this
afternoon, climbed a few of Butte's hills
and went to the Columbia gardens and
did II all without visible effect. To-mor-
row morning he will start with his trainer
for Boulder to get into condition for the
match. The Jap is very heavy, much
heavier than usual, but he believes he can
train down three pounds a day in this al
titude.
The match was to-day definitely set for
the afternoon of Sunday, August 10. That
will give the Jap two weeks in which
To train dow TO 155 pounds. Schumacher
is said to be i'm the pink of condition, and
steadily training at Anaconda. There is
blood between the men. They met on
July 8, 1889, at Seattle, in the presence OF
1900 people in a Grieco- Roman match.
After "a terrible struggle Sorakichi won.
There were words after il was over and
the men ended the match ina fight. The
Jap came TO this country in 1873 and the
year following threw 136 men in twenty
weeks time for the championship of the
world. Then in n succeeding contest
between Ross the American, Bibby the
Englishman, DAILY the Canadian and Pro-
fessor Miller. the Australian, he was
again victorious and won the gold cham
pionship trophy presented by Richard X.
Fox.
Sorakichi has come to Butte to prove
his title to ,he middle weight champion
ship of the world and VIII put up his title
to that position against any man in Mon
tana. He is willing to meet Connors and
all other Butte wrestlers. But money
must accompany all challenges. IL there
is anybody in Butte hat can best him the
man can hold the title of champion of the
world and carry oil all the Jap's and Zieg-
ler's money.
Sorakichi is a full fiedged American
citizen, having taken out his full papers.
He has a residence ON West Thirty-second
street, New FORK city.

why Hamlet Was Not Mad.

fIoih ftIiih.
To make Hamlet mad would be TO vio-
late n dramatic law that Shakespeare
himself created and most carefully OBJ
serves through all his plays-viz. contrast
in character. Poor Toms deceit is the
foil to Lear's madness; SO, conversely,
Dphelia's madness is the foil to Hamlet's
feigning. Ophelia is mad in fact. Hamlet
but in craft; and to make the madness Of
both a reality would be To duplicate types,
a fault the genius of the great dramatist
could not allow him To commit. Melan-
choly indeed he is, but not mad. nor is he
thought so by any about him. He is on
one Of the approaches to the insane state,
but no further on the way then Is neces-
sary To give color 10 the change when
made, aud not far enough for the king to
connect il with his fathers death. What
Fan be more conclusive evidence Of san
ity Though vexed by mental complexities
and physical perturbation) han Hamlet's
words Ia Horatio to set him right i'm the
eyes OF the world-to tell his story; how
he was enjoined. by the dread visitation
of his fathers ghost, To av.nge his muir
der; how he had put on the antic dispo-
sition To cover his real designs; how he
had slain Polonius by mistake and driven
his daughter TO frenzy and death the
queen poisoned, Larertes dead, and his
own death closing the evcntful history.
