ton Of the part. His work was delicate,
but clear cut, every syllable Of his lines
could be heard distinctly all over the house
and the information was remarkably
musical and pleasing. Then, the text Of
the drama is very fine. 1t contains a
fair injection of genuine comedy, is bright
with satire, and in all respects affors Mr..
Morrison full scope for the display of his
remarkable talent. In the way OF scenic
effects the Broken scene was probably
the most striking. 1t portrays the satanic
revels of the demons controlled by me

incandescent lights, intricate sta ge ma
chinery and everything that science could
suggest to aid the effects. In its ~entirity
the play was the finest of the season.

WE'RE BEHIND TIE TIMES.

Some of our female friends, partic-
ularly those OF professional inclinations,
have detained with much vigor and
enthusiasm upouthe commanding position
of Wyoming as THE equal suffrage
state. In their belief Wyoming had
reached the very acme OF human ambition
In this direction and the pleasing con-
seriousness OF the same was a source Of
much joy. But it seems that after all
suffrage thought is simply in its s%waddling
clothes in Wyoming. 1t has taken a
New Zealand statesman to evolve a plan
which is destined to place woman on the
political pinnacle, making her not merely
an equal factor in the body polite but
superior to her male confrere. This man,
who is entitled to the everlasting graft

ANOTHER LIGHTNING
CHANGE

Conceived in fraud the Commonwealth
seems likely to maintain Its ~malodorous
reputation to the end. The scenes have
shifted somewhat within the past few days
and now instead Of preying upon the
public the members of that newspaper
happy family" are engaged in preying
upon each other. Some days ago it was
announced that Joe DeBarthe had re-
signed as president of the peculiar aggre-
cation known as the Commonwealth
company and that L. S. Bartlett had
succeeded him in that capacity. The
same day Col, Coutant left for Omaha, it
is stated. He hoped 10 that town to
secure enough of business to keep his con
Germ afuat, but in the meantime there
seems to have been treachery in his own

A meeting of the stockholders was
called by letter for 2 O'Clock Thursday
afternoon. Some of these notices were
postmarked as having been received at
the Cheyenne ~postofice at 4 o'clock of
the same afternoon. A so called sale
was effected and Ichabod S. Bartlett is
alleged to have become the purchaser.
Just what he paid for the concern and
how he achieved the cash or collateral are
mysteries beyond present solution. I'm
mediately Upon assuming control Bartlett
with great pomptness repudiated all debts
of the concern and resumed business at
the old stand. This led to an attachment

position of Bartlett and the turning over
of the office to Constable T. A. Douglas,
who will permit no interference while he
is in charge OF the Office. The case will
be heard next Wednesday and some racy
developments are promised.
Meantime nothing has been directly
heard from Col. Coutant, but his many
friends and admirers are loath to believe
that he has been played for a sucker in
this interesting proceeding.

KNIGHTS GOLDEN EAGLE.

All necessary arrangements have
been made to institute an Eagles
"Nest" at Moundsvile on next Wednes-
day by Grand Chief Jos. L. Degant.
An invitation was extended to Wheel
ing City Commandery No. . to partici-
pate in the festivities. The invitation
was accepted. The Commandery pro-
posed to 90 down in body accompan-
led by brass band. The charter con-
tains 25 names of the best citizens Of
Moundsvllle. The Eagles fell highly
elated over the success of inStituting a
castle at that point, and it is hoped
the new castle will be abundantly sue
cessful. Every castle in Wheeling, as
we'll as Bridgeport, will receive an invi-
tation to be present. A pleasant time
is assured to those who will attend. Re-
dHced rates will be given. on the rail-
roads, so that the journey will be price
less. Wheeling City Castle De-
gree team will accompany the
grand officers, for the purpose OF
exemplifying the secret work Of the
order. 1t will repay for the time spent
for any one to take in this trip and see
the floor work of the team. 1t is hoped
that large turnout of Eagles from the
four castles of this city will encourage
the efforts of the Grand Chiefs. At the
annual session of the Supreme Castle at
Springfield, o., there was an insurance
fund adopted, paying 81, 900 at the death
of member. This is the only
legal insurance fund recognized
by the Supreme Castle; all others are
strictly forbidden not to use the name
of the Knights of the Golden Eagle in
any connection whatever with an insur-
ance fund of the order. The dues are
% cents quarterly. An assessment Of
so cents is levied on the death of a
brother. The entrance fee is fixed at
So. 80. This is one of the best features
of the order, and is bound TO meet with
popular favor.

gers of Mutrie's team only two hits. This
despised band of O'Neil's like the worm,
turned at last; but 1t is ten to one tna1
they will never repeat the feat. Inc
league race grows very interesting
with the majority OF the clubs punched.
OF the IS pitchers now In the league
only IA have pitched In more winning
than losing games. They are Calvin,
Hutchinson, Gumbert, Radbourne'
Young, Rusie, Ewing, Clarkson,
Nichols, Staley, Lovett, Caruthers,
Thornton and Esper. Hutchinson is the
leading pitcher, followed by Rusie,
Young, Clarkson and Lovett. Hutchin-
son was particularly effective against
the Western teams, winning FIVE out OF
six games from the Pittsburghs; six out
of seven from the Clevelands, and seven
straight from the Cincinnatis. Against
the Eastern teams he was not so fortun-
ate, though he won one more game than
he lost. He won five out Of seven from
Boston,; three out Of five from Philadel-
phia: two out of six from New York.
and two out of five from Brooklyn.
Rusie has been a terror to all the
teams in the League except the Bostons.
He has taken but one game from the
Beaneaters, though he faced them five
times.
Young would have better record had
he not met the Chicagos and New Yorks.
No other club has any terror for him.
He hasn't taken a game from the CHI
Cages, but lost three, and won only one
game out Of four from the New Yorks.
The greatest stumbling blocks to
Clarkson are the Chicagos, Cincinnatis
and New Yorks. He won every game
he pitched agains the Pittsburgs and
Philadelphia, and all but one against
the Clevelands and Brooklyns. He
could do no more than win two out OF
seven from Chicago, two out OF five from
Cincinnati and three out OF six from
New York.
Calvin is still Pittsburgs winning pitch
er, though he pitched ten games less
than King and eleven less than Bald
win. Jimmy has faced the New Yorks
three times this season and won each
time. He won two out Of three from the
Philadelphia and Brcoklyns, one out OF
three from the Chicagos and Clevelands,
one out of two from the Cincinnatis and
the only game he pitched against the
BoStons.
