The modern system Of theatrical manl1e-
ment has not only had an appreciable Sn
upon the drama itself and the artists ytQ
portray that drama, but also upon ~
structures In which tits produced. thirty
years ago the bands Of strolling plAy9s
which travelled through the country, ViEit
ing only the larger towns, were contenk4o
play in halls, or even barns and school
houses, with no scenery except drop cur
tain in many instances. The introductiQh
Of the combination system has materially
changed all that, and the growth Of stsSe
realism. in which fire engines, water tanks.
architectural structures, etc. are used upon
the stagenow necessitates suitable theatres
In which plays ranging from the widest
farce to the most elaborate spectacular rep
reservations can be produced as adiuncz
to the progressive country towns.

manager or the hotel, entered. The first
was tall, thin, very thin man, of forty
five or fifty, whose colOring was extremely
neutral. His hair was of light hay-color,
his mustache shade 0r two darker; his
complexion pale drab; his eyes a faded
blue; very long pointed nose; and rather
receding chin, did not convey an idea Of
mental strength; nor did his sloping shout
ders, spidery legs and long neck suggest
physical power. He was smiling blandly
at something the host was saying, and his
expression was kindly enough, but Mona
scarcely took in these details, so surprised
was she to see that his friend who followed
him was BERTHE Everard.
That gentleman's keen eyes detected her
instantly, but with his usual immobility,
he merely raised his eyebrows, smiled
family, and bowed as if he had quite ex-
pected to meet his young kinswoman at
the table d'hOtG. Mona was vexed at her
self for coloring as she felt she did when
she returned his bow, smiling at the same
time with irrepressible amusement. The
idea of an encounter between Uncle Sandy
and BERTHE Eyerard seemed infinitely
comic
"Wha's that?" asked the former, indig-
nantly.
He is sort of cousin of NINE or rather
of my poor grandmother. | used to stay
at his mothers house. She was very kind
to me-"
"Ay, till you began to earn your own
living, those are aye worthless folk. Stop
the waiter, will ye? l cannot eat this fish;
it has seen deal of the world since it left
the waiter"
The offending fish removed, Uncle Sandy
"glowered," as he would have said him
self, at the newcomers, until it was re-
placed by SGlmts of pigeons.
At length dinner was over. Everard left
his seat as Mona and Uncle Sandy were
leaving the table, and intercepted them.
Mona presented her uncle, and Everard
introduced her to Lord Fftzallan, who
bowed twice, once to the lady, once to the
crabbed-loOking little Scotsman.
ALI Miss Craig, don't you think we
might contrive a cOusinship out of the
double relationships" he said in soft
but weakly voice, and with what he intend
ed for a fascinating shipper
81 am afraid not. The only real relation
have is mynncle."
What rude speech, Mona! Do you
repudiate me?" said Everard.
"Oh, no! l take you for what you are
worth"
Everard lifted his eyebrows

"Yes, of course l am. So are you; so are
we all"

turned Uncle Sandy, startled by this at
tack.
81 dare say. 1t is much the best plan; it
does one no harm if you manage properly,
and it pays in the end"
"Yet." said Mona, quietly, 81 can mag

noicott on Power,

Chicago Herald: If Mr.. Hoar was the
angriest man in Washington this afternoon
young Ed. Wolcott was the ~happiest. Much
OF the credit of this coup is due to his
efforts. His speech of last week not only
braced up all the senator's who are opposed
to the bill but he has shown himself a true
general IN arranging his unweIcome sur
prise for Hoar and Harrison. Power. of
Montana, the man whom the Indians used
to call MAN. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
went up to Wolcott just after tho vote waa
taken and said: "Wolcott, this is bad bust
ness, very bad business. You ought never
to have M this. You nave spoiled
your reputation" "fou go make one
before You talk to me,' came Wolcott's
retort as quick as a fash.
Denver News: An incident occurred in
the senate this afternoon, concerning which
all Washington is fairly ringing. After the
vote was taken Senator Power, of Montana
who opposed the motion to take nm the
financial bill. walked over to Senator VOL
colt, who voted of course, with the silver
men. and in a deprecatory tone said:
This is too bad, Wolcott. 1t is bad bus
i~ness-very bad. BY voting as you did Won
have ruined your reputation, sir"
Quick as a flash the junior Colorado gen
ator retorted:
Ruined my reputation. Why, sir. Won
never had any to ruin. You had best on
and make one before you talk about the rem
otation of Others"
Thereupon the Montana statesman abso-
lutely crawled off.

THE LIGHT

With the end Of tho first week OF the
session OF the Montana legislature
comes a ray Of light in the direction OF n
settlement Of the differences which di-
vide the democratic house and the re-
publican Representative es-elect. 1t came
in the shape of a proposition on the
part Of the republicans looking to end
ing the existing difficulties. 1t will be
remembered that the last offer, made on
the v OF the adjournment last session,
came from the democrats, in the inter
est Of much needed legislation. 1t was
that both sets OF contestants from Sill
yer Bow resign. This was emphatlcally
refused by the republicans and negotia-
tons ended. In view Of that fact it is
right that the overtuTes on this occa-
sion should come from the republicans.
The movement inaugurated by Repre-
sentative Hotter is highly ~commendable,
and there is no doubt but that any rea-
sonable proposition would receive care
full consideration at the hands OF the
conservative democrats, who are as
anxious as anybody to sub.
serve the public interests. With
out knowing just what PROPOSE
ton the republican committee will
make, it is safe to assume that il the
views OF such sound business men as
Representative Hotter are allowed to
prevail it will be one that can be con-
eidered without much sacrifice on either
side. Public sentiment is almost unani-
mously in favor OF legislation, and the
republicans recognize that fact. With
a proper basis Of settlement the demo
Gratis will show the people that they are
not Indifferent to the public demand.

territories respectively In. which the
lands are located. The several states
and territories would be expected to Or
ganize their wi land systems, and TO
apply the proceeds Of the sale Of lands
to an educational fund. Texas ia tho
only state now which has Its own land
system; but Mr.. Herbert's bill proposes
that the United States land office
shall have nothing to occupy its atten-
ton except Indian reservations, public
building sites, naval stations, military
reserves, and the lands in the Territory
Of Alaska.
The state should own oil the lands
within its borders and the men who till
them should control the water rights.

t%icians. The demoralizing results are
everywhere visible on tho surface. II
has been tho occasion Of shameless ras-
cality; it has corrupted the minds and
the motives OF men; it has brought dis
honor upon the fair name Of the state
and deprived it Of a share in the era OF
prosperity that is shining for the rest Of
tho south. We should be disposed to
give a warm welcome to any fair and
honest plan that would wipe out the
memory Of this offensive scandal and at
the same time relieve the state from the
brand OF reputation and the bondhold-
ers from the wretched state Of uncer-
tainty that has SO long rendered their
holdings practically worthless.
There does seem to be a rift in the
clouds. A plan, which has met the APP
proval OF both the bondholders and the
advisory committees, seems to offer some
hope Of as satisfactory a settlement Of
the difficulty as can we'll be expected.
The scheme suggests that the old bonds,
which are now for the most part held in
trust by the bondholders' committee,
should be surrendered and cancelled. In
their stead the state is to issue new
bonds for such an amount and at such a
rate of interest as the state can safely
make provision for. There is no blink
ing the fact that the acceptance OF this
is practically a recognition Of the
insolvency. The creditors are to
a composition Of as much on the
dollar as the state can afford to pay.
The payment is to be secured by bonds
which the state will pay interest
without default, while it provides for
the payment Of the principal at maturi-
ty. The plan suggested is probably the
best way out Of a bad business, and no
effort should be spared by those directly
concerned to have it at one put into
order.

THE suspension of Col Forsythe on
orders from Washington for his conduct
of the battle OF Wounded Knee proves
that all the fanaticism in this present
Indian trouble is not confined to the
Sioux and their friends. 1t looks as If
the Indians rights cranks OF Pennsyl-
vania, through Glass Leader Wana-
maker, were holding out a warn
ing to the brave little army at Pine
Ridge that an explanation, accompanied
by an affidavit, must be attached
to the certificate Of death for
each individual hostile. 1t is always SO
much easier for people at a distance to
tell how a thing should be done than it
is for those on the spot. An army Off
Ger at Washington thus sizes up the sit
uation:
1T is preposterous to say that it is ne
cessity in an Indian skirmish to stop long
dian you are shooting at. The women and
the men look very much alike in their
blanket costumes, and the former are quite
as fierce fighters as the men. A Sioux sauaw
is IS bad an enemy as a buck at times. The
little boys. too, can shoot quite as well as
their fathers. and what a spectacle it would
be for q soldier, on seeing a 1~0-year-old
pointing a loaded gun at him, with as true
an aim as the best marksnan in the army,
to stop his advance and cry out, My son
you must drop that gun, for you are a
minor and / am not allowed to hurt you.'''
Another army officer has a few peril
nent remarks to make, a 3 follows:
"At this rate the Sioux troubles will
grow to be just as bad as the events of the
first three years of the war. when every Off
Ger with an Independent command had not
only an enemy in front of him, but a court
behind him.

TO all concerned, the stata Legislature will
find itself prepared for thu decent dispatch
Of business. II seems to us that the demo-
Gratis have a peculiar duty Just at this juno
ture in fastening the end of the strife
already too long protracted. They stand
fully vindicated, they come fresh from an
election which gave them an unqualified
verdict OF approval, they have the RESPONSE
bility which goes with the controlling
majority, they can afford to act broadly for
the public good, they ought to point ont
the way to a speedy release from trouble
and to be generous in the dictation OF the
terms Of truce.
This much is certain--the people Of Mon
a will not tolerate a course which threat
ems to keep alive two rival houses in Helena,
nor will they approve either political party
in the pursuance Of a policy which is
likely to leave the state without legislation
for months to come. No party could ask
