The BOstOnians.

On Monday evening the famous Boston
ians will begin an operate engagement at
Ming's. The great reputation of the COM
pany will of course attract large audiences.
The repertoire for the engagement includes
Don Quixote, II Trovatore, Suzette and
MiRnon. OF the opening opera, Don Quix-
ote, the Boston Post says:
With regard to this work, it should not
be forgotten that the composer is an Ameri-
can. It is a most hopeful indication for
SO good work (and, indeed, it is undoubt-
eddy the best operette ever written by an
American) should have been produced; and
having been produced, that it should meet
with such unqualified approval goes to
show that occasionally one can be aprophet
with the piece, and positively insist on a
repetition of nearly every number.
After Dark
A single performance of 'After Dark"
will be given at Ming's opera house on next
Sunday evening. It is promised that the
performance will be given as in the larger
cities in the east. The play is sensational
in every respect and is a pen picture of life
in the great city of London. A car load of
scenery is used in the production. Among
the many novelties introduced will be per-
feet representation of the river Thames by
moonlight. In this act the stage is trans
formed into huge body of real water.
The central character of the play is por-
trayed by VIM. A. Brady. In the Concert
Hall scene the great Irish comedian, Bobby
Gaylor, will appear in his inimitable spe-
cialties. The exhibition boxers, Kelly and
Murphy, will he seen in a realistic set-to
and the beautiful Partisan danseuse, Miss
Marie Rene, will introduce here lightning
change dances. The company is said to be
excellent.

CITY NEWS AND GOSSIP.

All lovers OF base ball, base ball cranks
and especially base ball players, are ear
nestIy requested to meet this evening at
Billy Sims Hoquois club rooms for the pur-
pose of taking final action on the organiza-
ton of team. A lively interest has been
manifested in base ball matters during the
past few days and there is every probability
that tonight will witness the organization
of nine. Don't stay away because you
may expect to be asked to go down in your
pocket. There will be no requests for
funds.
The printers Of this city have organized
a base ball team and desire in this manner
to challenge any club in the city, or picked
nine to play them a game next Sunday at
the old grounds on the motor line.
The lovers of base ball in this city who on
several occasions saw the Butte team play
will regret to hear that George Carr, the
clever little shortstop, died suddenly at
Butte on Tuesday.
The 5-cent fare inaugurated by the motor
company has proved great success and the
business of the line during the past week
has increased fifty per cent. The motor
line is securing all the traffic from the sixth
mess of incoming passengers. There is a
noticeable decrease in the earnings of the
horse car line, while the motor company ia
running to its full capacity and giving a
greatly improved service. Yesterday three
motors were running and one hauled the
observatory" car, which, though not hand
some, is convenient to fill emergencies such
as was experienced yesterday when the
travel to the Broadwater plunge was very
large. The motor people are happy and it
is now only question of few days when
the street car company will be forced to re-
duce it's rate to five cents.
An unassuminR business man happening
down at the motor station yesterday morn
ing, noticed wagon and team standing in
the street. near the track, about half way
between Main street and Helena avenue.
On the wagon was seated woman and
child, evidently waiting for some one. But
before the absent one returned the steam
motor came scooting around the corner and
gave shrill toot of the whistle. The
woman became scared and the team more
SO and commenced to run down the road at
a lively rate, the woman being unable to
control it. By-standers became frightened
and it began to look like dire catastrophe
was about to happen when the aforesaid
gentleman rushed out and grasped the
horses by the bits and held them securely.
The motor in the meantime was stopped
and what threatened to be serious catas-
trophe was averted.

Variety in Domestic Life.

The evenings of great numbers of
families are monotonous humdrum.
They involve the assemblage of the
same people, the same surroundings,
the same paterfamilias yawning over his
paper and the same querulous mamma
overladen with family cares. Fresh
people with fresh thoughts, fresh at
mosphere; anything to stir up and agi-
tate the pool of domestic stagnation, are
sadly needed and sadly scarce. There
needs to be also q constant succession
Of fresh people to bring about these re-
suits.
The world is full of men and women,
and in o better regulated life it would
be the business, after the days work
was done, to entertain each other and
give each other fresh life. Asit is now,
hundreds ii not thousands of our house,
holds are little better than cells for the
incarceration of each family. Thou
sands are thus worn out prematurely
from utter lack of domestic recreation.
There might be written over the graves
Of hundreds of thousands, "Bored to
death by the stagnation Of domestic
life."
There is no other agency which so
we'll prevents the monotony and hum
drum of domestic life alluded to, as
good, instructive books and good news
papers. And there is no pleasure or
profit so cheap, when one considers its
trifing money cost.

NOTWITHSTANDING our large foreign
population, there are only twenty-five
foreign born citizens in both Houses OF
Congress. Scotland has five members,
England, Ireland and Germany have
each four natives in this Congress, Nor
way and Sweden one each, and the
Dominion of Canada five. The Nor
mon'delegate, Mr.. Cain, was born in
the Isle of Man. OF the forty-two
States of the Union there are but
eight whose entire delegations in Con-
gress are made up Of men born within
the limits of the States which they rep
resent. These are Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Rhode Island, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, North and South
Carolina. No State has so many of its
sons in the two Houses of Congress as
New York. Besides its own junior
Senator, Frank Hiscock, there are
thirteen New Workers in the Senate and
seventeen in the House representing
other States than New York. Ohio
comes next to New York. Both the
Iowa Senators, Mr.. Voorhees,, Of Indi-
ana, and Mr.. Plumb, of Kansas, are Of
Ohio birth, and also nine members OF
the House from other States than Ohio.
Pennsylvania blood is represented in
the Senate by Senators Cameron,
Quay, Manderson, of Nebraska, and
Mitchell, of Oregon.

needs money, he mesmerizes one of his

The people of Onset are getting tired of
this swindling business, and there have
been threats of riding him on rail.
The matter is causing much comment

nearest place where caskets were made,
