Frank Beard and His Chalk Talk.

One of the most pleasant and instructive
entertainments of the season in Helena was
that given by Frank Beard at Encore hall
last night under the auspices of the Y. NJ.
G. A. MIR. Beard was announced as "the
chalk talker." He was all of that. He act
ually made the chalk talk on paper. Be
sides that he did a great deal of talking in
the ordinary way, explaining and illustrat-
ing as he went along in a humorous way
which tickled the ears of his audience,
while his drawing pleased the eye. At the
same time he gave in an interesting way
the phllosophyof drawing in relation to lines.
In explanation of the fundamental principle
of drawing Mr.. Beord proceeded to
tell some stories in pictures, as he
termed it. They were truly speaking il
lustrations, including such familiar SUBJ
jects as the small boy, the broken pitcher,
and the Cat which had to shoulder all the
blame. Another was that of a bashful
young couple who somehow or other man
aged to become engaged. The effect which
a few touches may have o n a picture was
shown in a dreary, snow-covered cottage,
which a piece of red chalk transformed in
to a cheerful, inviting home. I'm order to
have a picture convey any meaning" said
Mr.. Beard, "the artist must first have a
suggestion, then a combination, and finally
an application" He then proceeded to
draw a woman sitting at a piano. Her
right hand appraised conveyed the sugges-
ton of great force about to be exerted on
the offending instrument. Suddenly
changing his mind the artist drew a small
boy across the lap of the woman. This, he
said. was the combination. The applica-
ton was apparent without any explanation.
For nearly two hours the artist ran on thus,
holding the attention of the audience, and
being greeted with frequent rounds of APP
plause.

MINES AND MINING.

Elkhorn Dividend-Annua1 Report of the
State Mining Inspector.
1t is unoficially reported that the Elk
horn %company's quarterly dividend was de-
clared in London yesterday.
Reports from London are to the effect
that the capital stock in the DeLamar COM
pany was eagerly bought and paid up as
soon as it was offered, and that many
anxious purchasers were left in the scramble
for shares.
The long delayed report of the state
mining inspector has just been received
from the press. 1t shows that during 1890
there were only twenty fatal and eighteen
non-fatal accidents in the mines of the
state. The report contains a great
deal of valuable information of the
mining districts in every county.
The output of Lewis md Clarke county
is estimated at 49, 600. 600. Silver Bow is
credited with $29,00O,00O and Deer Lodge
SS,0OO,0O0.
In thirteen counties there are 9,745 re-
corded mineral claims reported. Silver
Bow is only credited with 965 claims, but it
is probable this is far short of the correct
number. In this connection Prof, Swallow
says:
"These returns show the total number OF
claims recorded in thirteen counties during
the last year alone to be 8 ,745. Some o.
these are doubtless old claims recorded I'm.
der new names: but tho larger part of then
are new discoveries. This certainly is {
good showing for a state which has had
thousands of sharp-eyed prospectors search.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Miss Lolita Crabtree ia doubtless very
we'll pleased over her first appearance in
Helena. When she tripped out on the
boards, sprightly, vivacious and piquant az
ever a generous greeting came from a large
audience. Nor did the enthusiasm wane
during the performance. The famous lit
tie actress kept the audience in a pleasant
and sometimes boisterous vein Of humor.
No one but a queen of soubrettes could dc
this in a play like Pawn Ticket 21O. 1t is a
real old fashioned blood and murder drama
in which the villains meet their fate and
love conquers at last. II was q good
enough play for a dime novel reading au-
dience or years ago when nothing else
could be had. At the same time it contains
more plot than the modern farce comedy
which is usually a mere thread for special
ties. However the audience did not care
about the play; They came to see Lolita and
they were not disappointed. There is m
thing about the little woman's personality
that brings an audience in close sympathy
with her art. She is inimitable because she
is 80 thoroughly and delightfully."- original.
natural that Il wonders if she
is ever still for moment:
When other soubrettes play the character of
a hoydenish girl their efforts at imitation
produce a strain on the audience. With
Lolita it is different; she is just Lolita, aud
beyond comparison the greatest of all artist
in her line. The company is by no means
above criticism. though it is probably up to
the average. Mr.. Walter Allen gave an ad-
mirabls Interpretation of the rapacious
Hebrew pawn broker whose heart is finally
touched by love. His work was SO clever
that it was rewarded by a curtain call.
Mr.. BANDS character Of Mr.. Gregg was
quite as good. The other characters were
fairly maintained. The performance was
carried along with c~ommendable vigor and
at no time did it lag. particularly when
Lolita was on the stage, for she finds little
difficulty in amusing. This evening the
company will appear in ms, n of her ia
vorite plays. Musette was on the bill for
last evening, but it was changed because OF
the illness of one of the company. 1t is
hoped, how ever, that Musette will be seen
before the close of the engagement.

Of the oase SO far.
Miss Ella L. Knowles represented Mr..
Tom and F. J. Walsh appeared for Mrs.
st. Clair, who was suing for the possession
of the muff and one dollar damages. Mrs.
ST. Clair testified that she went
into H. Ionn's store to make
q purchase the day before Christmas.
She had with her the muff and some books,
all of which she laid on the counter. On
going out she forgot them, and the proprie-
tors son, Kenny Tom, brought them to her
as she was leaving. Having occasion to 90
back on February "A she said MIR. Tom took
the mutt from her, saying it was his Wife's.
On cross examination Mrs. st. Clair said
the muff waa presented to her by a French
man, a contractor. whose name she could
not remember. She produced several wit
nesses who testified to her ownership of the
aforesaid 'black monkey hair muff." One
of them wal q former hunter and trapper
who recognized it because he had never
seen anything like it before in the shape Of
hair.
When it came to the defendants turn
the saleslady at Toms remembered Mrs.
st. CLAIR coming into the store with
some books, but without any muff.
After Mrs. st. Clair had left, Mrs. Tom
missed her muff, and her son Benny then
remembered having. presented it to a lady
who was leaving, under the impression that
it was hers. Mrs. Tom. however, was
somewhat uncertain about the time of miss
ing the mutt, and thought it about the
seventh day of January.

Of the lawyers occupied the afternoon and
part of the night. During these proceed
ing Miss Knowles and her legal adversary
had several passages at law, during which
the little lady demonstrated her ability to
hold her own, either on the legal phases of
the question or at repartee. Once, when
objection was made to one of her questions,
and the court ruled in her favor, the same
question was p~ropounded again. The OPP
posing counsel sought to interpose another
objection. 'The court has already decided
that point" remarked Miss Knowles,
quietly.
For two hours the jury stood three to
three and then found that they could not
possibly agree. The muf5iwas worn home
by Miss Knowles.
