Capt. Swift which held the boards at Al
baughs Opera House last week, is success both
in itself and on account of its artistic produc-
tion. The play is distinctively original in con-
ception. Instead of the conventional hero OF
mclodrama, embodyng combination of moral
ity and nobleness, the central figure comprises
an adventurer of the boldest type, driven to re-
morse by influences of love and kindness, as
sisted by the hard hand of the law. The storys
q romantic one lEr. Sedbrook is an elderly gen
tleman of wealth whose city home is in London.
Before her marriage Mrs. Seabrook by an unfort-
unate alliance, afterward discovered to have
been illegal, became the mother of a son. To
hide the evidence of her shame she consented to
part with her babe, and it was sent away to
Australia, where it grew into manhood, trained
in the arts of polished bushranger. Fleeing
from his adopted country because of some bold
robbery which he had committed, this daring
Diavolo finds himself in London, where, under
the alias of Mr. lFilding, he has the good fort
une, by saving the old gentlemans life, of secur-
ing an introduction into lir. ,SedJrooNS home.
1t is at this point that the play opens. Here he
falls in love with Stella DdrbiSher, young heir
ess, and estranges her affections from Harry to
whom she is engaged Here he meets Mr..
Gardiner, who recognizes him as Capt. SWitt,
but who, out of admiration for his better quail
ties, retains the secret of his identity. Here by
gradations OF circumstances he is disclosed to his
mother, but not in his true character, and here
1t is that all the emotions and intricacies of the
plot are worked out until the end, when he de-
feats the arm of justice by taking his own life.
Throughout the play the author has carefully
and successfully disclosed the power of love AS
the dominant idea, and has so skilfully welded
thaI la,,tf of ctp 70 1aou
no part of the whole without the keenest inter-
est. It would be difficult indeed to single out
any individual member of the cast for especial
commentator. Every character is excellently
portrayed, from the Capt. Swift of Mr. Arthur
Forrest to the Marshall of Mr.. Grattan. Amore
natural and exquisite piece of acting than the
Mr.. Gardner of Mr.. Huntington is seldom seen
on any boards, and the OhS. Seabrook of Miss
Rand and Mabel of Miss Kingsley were most ad-
mirable impersonations. The scenery was very
appropriate.

Hearing Of the Davis Will Case Post
poned Until Next
Monday.
The District, Court Burdened With
an Increasing Volume Of
BusiueBa.
New Watsr Company for Butts-Ths State
etiu Fighting the SCHOOL Section
Case.

II was expected that the celebrated Davis
will case would come up before the supreme
court yesterday morning for argument, but
for some reason the hearing was postponed
until Monday morning at 10 O'Clock. It is
supposed that the continuance Of the case
was smade in order sthat the attorneys
might look into the merits Of the will which
Vas filed at Butte, on Thursday.
The courts do not remain in session all
day during the present heated term, liti-
eants, lawyers and judges arc willing to
compromise on half day, 20 the tribunals
only remain In session during the fore
noon. The labors Of the lawyers and
judges are not much lessened however. Tho
members of the supreme court may be seen
at almost any hour Of the afternoon at their
rooms in the court house or in the Law
library looking up authorities and ex-
aiming transcripts on appeal from lower
courts. Judge Hunt Of tho district court
has probably more labor than any Of the
judges in the state. Under the old terri
torial system district judge has enough to
do to keep him busy most of the time. but
under the new form of government ad-
ditional burden has been put upon the
holder of this Office by merging the old
probate court into the district court.
An inspection Of the volume Of business
done in the district court OF this county
will show that it is already impossible for
one Judge to handle the immense amount
of litigation without getting behind with
the docket.

DEATH OF AN ARTIST.

John Phillips, Portrait Painter Of Ma
tional Reputation, Died Last Night.
Mr.. John Phillips died early last night at
113 Clarke street after short illness. He
had been troubled for some time with asth-
ma and his sudden death was shock to
those who knew him. He was about 81
years of age and came to this country from
Glasgow, Scotland, when boy. Shortly
after his marriage he spent some time in
Cuba, afterwards going to Europe. He re-
NAMED on the continent some years per-
footing himself in his chosen profession,
that of an artist. He visited: Rome, Flor
ence and other cities in Italy, and was for
time in Spain, where he studied and copied
the old masters. On his return to the United
States he was favorably received and soon
gained national reputation az a portrait
painter. Lawrence Barrett and other we'll
known people have been among his sitters.
For some time past he had not paid much
attention to his art but had become inter-
eeted in the mining business. He caAne to
Montana about three years ago, devoting
most of his time to following up mining
ventures. He will be remembered by a
good many ON account of the fine specimens
of his brush in Helena. Among those whom
he has painted are Colonel and Mrs. G. A.
Broadwater, Colonel Sanders and others.
The Caledonia club has in it's possession
splendid product of his skill in an oil por-
trait of Robert Burns. He was surrounded
in his last moments by his wife and daugh-
ter and few friends. The funeral arrange
ments will be announced to-day.

GREETED, for since Libsrati was here with
his famous band on his way east from the

to the Oppressive weather, although the

by any means slight their work because of

Of Zeigler's carry-all wagons with four
horses attached to it. Coming down Main

the other three in check az they ran down
the street and turned them into Parchen's
corner with a view to throwing the wheeler.
This was not q success. The animal was
mean and wanted to run away. but Maroney
switched the horses around to the other side
of the street, running two Of them onto the
sidewalk, while the other wheeler was
thrown, pulled against the loose one, caus-
ing the latter to fall against the curb, thus
preventing q serious accident and not in
juring the horses.

MINERAL LAND. OR NOT.

More Testimony offered a. to the Charac-
ter Of the Section.
The claimants in the case involving the
character Of the land embraced within Sec
ton 16 continue to offer testimony at the
land Office as to the mineral character of
the section. William A. Rumsey testified
in behalf of the claimants that he has been
engaged in mining since 1868 and that he
had been over the land in question. The
northwest forty of section 16 might be good
for agricultural purposes if water could be
brought on it. but the soil was only about
four inches deep.
Israel II. Morrison's, another witness for
the claimants who lives on ranch adjoin-
ing section 16, testimony was to the effect
that he knew placer mining had been done
on the land. He had prospected the ground
for placer mines and found body Of wash
gravel in which he found gold in four diff
ferent places. In two instances he believed
II amounted to five cents to the pan, and
that he never obtained less than q cent and
q half to the pan. He got from one pan

special government agent, in which the lat
ter expressed his desire to have the witness
to testify in behalf of the state in reference
to the agricultural quality of section 16.
He told Mr.. Haley that his evidence would
not be beneficial to the state as he regarded
eral ground. The witness further testified
that he did not believe there we're five acres
in the section worth cultivatinQ.
On cross examination by Special Agent
HALEY the witness testimony was that he
had never prospected his own ranch for
mineral, but that it was his belief it was in
the center of mineral belt. He had q
short time ago an offer for his place and
adjoining mineral land, consisting Of 80
acres under patent, and asked $4,000 for
it. He would be willing to take $4,000 for
the 80 acres covered by patent. When asked
it it was not fact that his 50 acres lying so
near the rapidly growing city Of Helena
value of $4,000 upon it, he answered no,
that it was because of his faith in the Hell
ena mining district. He was also asked
when he first discovered the rich mineral
value of his farm. His answer was: II
never thought that my ranch contained any
whom ore was found in section II, south Of
my ranch, and unning clear to the line.
Then commenced to realize that was IN
mineral country" He paid 81 600 for the
land in 1883, and since that time had re-
fused q, 600 for it. The witness also stated
that ne 0oQ worked Cne gfOu0o Tour years
successfully. He had raised oats, wheat,
potatoes, peas, cabbage and turnips. It
was impossible for him to tell how much
he had received from the products of his
ranch within the last four years. His
basis of Judgment as to the mineral value
of section is was because he had prospected
it within the last week: He had never
heard of an ounce of gold being taken from
section 16. The examination Of the witness
will be continued to-day.
