THE HOUSE.

The committee on normal schools re-
ported a substitute for the bill appro-
priating $50, 600 for normal school at

Is Marriage a Failures?

us Marriage a Failure?" drew a large
audience to tho opera house last night.
Everybody who went came away with the
conviction that they had got the worth of
their money in the sight Of Little Irene,
who enacted the role of Dot. The little
one captivated everybody. She is a bright
little actress, probably az good as any of
those who appear in child parts, and very
likely a great deal better than some. Her
style is natural and unaffected and there
fore all the more pleasing. The child voice
is clear and distinct nd the lines :are
carefully studied. The part to which Lit
tie Itene is assigned is that of Il blind
child. and she carried out the idea to per
lection. 1t ia one of those roles which
bring all of an audience down to
tho one common feeling of love for
childhood and pity for misfortune. The
little miss around whom the mimic world
seemed to revolve last night must have
been born with a genius for bringing to the
surface those better feelings of humanity.
Her singing and her dancing of the ser.
psnt,ne were. next to herself, the features
Of the performance. They both produced
we'll deserved ,encores. Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph LeBrandt and the others in the
cast filled in the gaus between the child's
appearances in entertaining style. The
play is clean throughout, md slough not
bearing evidence of being entitled to the
rank OF Il first class comedy, ia still inter
estlng. Some Of the parts are very humor-

Ten Years, Exnarience.

Many people think that an entertainment
illustrated by stereopticon views is moro
for children han for adults. But not so
with Nh. G. E. Bottoms realistic travels,
Mr.. Bolton is not a mere exhibitor of
pictures. but is a skillful and most interest
ing lecturer of ten years' experience on the
platform. His lectures are full OF interest.
instruction and humour. They are thor
oughly prepared. They are the result Of
CAREFUL study and extensive travel. Tho
illustrations are like the pictures in a fine
book. They explain to the eye what is
spoken to the ear. But the pictures them
selves are hrs ST. class works of art of their
kind. Mr.. Bolton has n canvass of 500
feet. He has one OF the finest in
struments to be procured. He has ieotured
before great audiences in Chickering hall,
New York, and in all the great eastern
cities. He is we'll known %throughout the
east, and In Helena are many who have
heard him. Those who do not hear his
lectures at the auditorium next Saturday,
Monday aud Tuesday evenings will miss a
great treat.

JUMPED FOR LIFE
As the Car Jumped Into the Draw-seyeu
Were Drowned

Portland, Or. November EARLY
this morning an electric car plunged
through the open draw of the Madison
street bridge and sank in the Willmette
river. Eighteen or 20 passengers were
aboard, but all but seven saved their
lives by leaping from the car. Five
corpses have been recovered and man
and a boy are missing. When the car
arrived at the bridge, a dense fog envel-
oped the river and a sharp frost had
covered the rails with coating
OF ice. The draw had just been opened
to allow the passage of a steamer. The
usual precautions of closing the gates
and displaying red lights were taken.
but owing to the frost tie car could not
be stopped in the usual distance and
crashed through the fraiI gates and into
the river. The motor man gave the
alarm to the passengers and as many as
had time saved themselves by jumping.
The car plunged into the river lust in
front of the bow of the steamer.

London, November 1.-The Times has
the following advices from Rio de janet
ro under date of October 27:
The armed steamer Urano (as before
reported), while leaving Rio on October
Is, was hit by shell and badly dam
aged. She has arrived at Desterre, and
reports that 40 of her crew were killed.
The insurgents have plenty of munitions
of war. Decisive action by Admiral
Mello is expected shortly. The govern
ment is mounting guns on the city bat
teries. The Republica rammed the
transport Rio de Janeiro, which was con
veying HOO troops to Santos, and 500 of
the troops were drowned. Admiral Mel
10 confirms the truth of this report. He
denies that he has any direct intention
of restoring the empire. He wishes to
be recognized as a belligerent by the for
eign powers. He expects that the war
ships Riacuelo and Benjamin Constant
will join the insurgents. The rebel flag
ship Aquidaban was slightly damaged
by the fire from the forts.

JOHNSTOWN'S HORROR
Recalled in a Law Suit Brought to
Recover Damages.
MANY SURVIVORS OF THE FLOOD
ANxIOUSLY WAITING.

Should This Claimant Be Successful Many
Others Will Bring suit-The Plaintiffs
Sad Story-Her Parents and Brother
Were Swept Away and Drowned and
Damages Placed at $25, 900.
Pittsburg, November lin the United
States Circuit court is being tried
the first suit for damages yet heard in
Allegheny county against the South Fork
fishing club, composed Of Pittsburg iron
and steel manufacturers. The dam hold
ing back their artificial lake burst, and
the Johnstown horror followed. Mrs.
Ann Jenkins of Youngstown, O., is the
plaintiff. She asks damages amounting
to $25, 900 for the death Of father,
mother, brother and her shattered health.
The outcome of the case will be watched
with interest by many other victims of
the flood. If Mrs. Jenkins secures judg-
ment, other suits will follow here.
Mrs. Jenkins in her statement AYERS
that she was visiting her aged parents
in Johnstown. All were seated in the
parlor, conversing happily together,
when the terrible break in the dam oc-
CURED. When the loud roar of the rush
ing water was heard the family, headed
by the father, ran to the roof. A moment
later Mrs. Jenkins's parents were carried
off, locked in each others arms. Her
younger brother went next, and a
moment later she was washed into the
stream. In falling the plintiff grasped
hold of log, and then became uncon-
scious Her escape was most remarkable.
One foot was cut by spikes in the wood
and her hair was twisted around them.
When the log turned, she rolled with it.
She was rescued by several men who
risked their lives in making the effort.
The victim was removed to the homeo-
pathic hospital in. Pittspurg, where she
remained in a dying condition for nearly
seven months; later she was taken home
and has been an invalid ever since.
State Senator Wolcott OF Canton, who
is distant relative of the plaintiff, Mrs.
Jenkins, spent several weeks in John
stown gathering witnesses. He has
subpenaed several persons, formerly at
tendants at the dam who will testify as
to it's unsafe condition. Facts and figures
will he produced showing the material,
length and strength of the stone walls,
and as nearly as possible the amount of
water in the creek before the break in
the dam occurred.
