OF Plays and the Players

The past week has been one of great
dramatic interest in this city. Five
nights OF Daniel Frohman's Lyceum
company form an incident not soon to be
forgotten. All it's members have won
their way TO the hearts of the theater-
goers here and the leading ladies and
gentlemen are loved and admired for
their great talents and the genuine enjoy
ment they impart. They will not
be forgotten and may be as
sured of q hearty welcome whenever
they return and the Salt Lake public are
so favored as TO see their faces again.
Every play put upon the stage during the
past week g engagement was a treat. The
closing performance gave opportunities
to Mr.. Kelley and Miss Cayvan OF a diff
1erent character to any others during the
engagement. s'The Gray Mare'' proved
TO be very funny piece of curious COM
plication, and the laughter with
which il was received proved that
it was agreeable to the audience,
which was larger thar on several pre-
vious evenings. Miss Cayvan's beautiful
white glass dress was much admired by
the ladies. The curtain raiser, 'White
Roses, twas very charmingly performed
by Misses Cayvan and Shannon and Mrs.
Whiffen.
Mr.. Daniel Frehman met the poor sea-
son and. for his company, slim houses
with pleasant resignation. The heat, the
scarcity of money, the attractions at the
lake, all acted as q drawback and him
dered a financial success. But he
met the reverse very good naturediy,
knowing 10y past experience with Salt
Lake that it was not through any lack OF
appreciation Of his plays or OF his most
excellent company.
The next attraction is 1.-THE Wolves OF
New York. which viii be produced at
the theatre next Friday and Saturday. II

the attention of the audience.

dark side of the great metropolis an in
sight into many things OF which they
never dreamed. There is a scene in the
last act of this play which arouses the
greatest excitement The

dows, the dashing fire engines and the
struggles in real water, to which audien-
ces have been treated of late, are not G

Minister BlOunt at Honolulu.

The interest of the situation still CEN
tiers somewhat around Mr.. Blount, as it
will do until he leaves, which will prob
ably be very soon. By mail of the sew
enteenth of May, Special Commissioner
Blount received telegram appointing
him United States minister in place Of
Mr.. Stevens, whose effects were already
packed for departure. Re will occupy
the position for only tt i tiefest posi-
BILE time, until suc6hiy Oh can get out
here. 1t was though 9lines@ell to leave
the Office vacant for even 80 short a
time, in view of possible complications.
Mr.. Blount's first act as minister was on
the twenty-third of May, and, however
reasonable, was hardly calculated to in
gratiate him with the majority of our
people. 1t was an act in protection of
Mr.. Charles Nordhoff from inquiry by
the government into SANDER of the
councils, published by him in the New
York Herald. He had stated that a
majority of the members of the exec
utive and advisory councils had signed
the petitions for the lottery. AS none
OF the present members had ever signed
such petition, Mr.. Nordhoff was cited
to appear before the councils and give
his authority for so false and injurious
statement. Meantime the United
States minister interposed with an oral
statement to President Dole that United
States custom did not permit their cit
liens to be thus dealt with for publica-
tions made in another country. Such
being American precedent, of course
Mr.. Blount has no option but to follow
it. In this particular case, however, il
hardly works in the interest of truth.
Mr.. Nordhoff is experiencing much
bitterness. Three suits have been
threatened him for libel by gentlemen
of good standing, for falsely charging
them, in the Herald, with signing petit,

Hammett Stock Farm,

Editor Waterman A visit to the Ham,
NETT stock farm near the north village in
East Montpelier will repay one for the
journey. At this farm may be found some
of the best stock in Vermont, including the
standardized stallion Nordeck by Don
Cossack, dam by Almont. He is a sixteen
hand horse, beautiful blood bay, well and
strongly built at all points, and surely shows
his fine breeding. Governor Hendee, by
the Duke of Brunswick, dam by Jay Gould.
This horse has a record of 223, made in the
fourth heat of winning race, beating such
race horses as Alexander, Charlie Ray, Col
Mansur, Annie X. and others. This horse
will remain in the stud throughout this sea-
son instead OF being sent for mark in the
teens, as was the original intention. He is
chestnut in color, sixteen hands high,

looking race horse. Evener is typical

rendered their verdict of $500 damages and
costs for plaintiff. A certified execution

of defendant it was moved to set aside the
verdict because of excessive damages, on
which the court has yet to decide. Dan G.

the case TO the jury on the question OF de-

Jackson Park Is Not In 1t.

AS general proposition, a day in

thirty delightful days of the month in
this latitude Vermont is more rare than
poesy can portray. In any compare

4 nEsrERArE attemnt WAS recentlu ma

A DESPERATE attempt was recently made
TO rob the mail stage that runs from lone to
Jackson, Cal The stage had four passen-
gers inside, two of whom were ladies'. On
the outside were Clinton Redcliffe, the
driver, Michael Tovey, the guard, and one
passenger. The robber was concealed be-
hind the rocks on the side Of the road
When the stage was opposite his place of
concealment the discharge of a weapon was
heard, and Tovey instantly fell forward,
dead. Six horses were attached to the stage
and the crack of the rifle frightened them
into gallop. The robber fired again, and
producing slight flesh wound. The horses
continued to run. and the highwayman fired
twice more, wounding two of the animals.
The stage was carried along by the unin-
jured horses for three hundred yards, when
the driver halted and turned two of the in
jured animals into a field and came on,
bringing the body of the murdered messen-
ger TO Jackson. The robber escaped.

effect upon the inhabitants as the dinner

The Borden Murder Trial.

In the Borden murder trial the argu-
ments of counsel were begun on Mon
day. Governor Robinson finished for
the defense and District Attorney
Knowlton began for the state. 1t is
not believed that the government has
sustained, by the witnesses it has
called, the statements of District At
torney Knowlton in opening for the
prosecution. The evidence on either
side has not penetrated the mystery of
the double murder and disclosed the
murderer beyond reasonable doubt.
On nearly every important point there
is direct contradiction between the
witnesses for the government and those
for the defense. The government has
not connected Lizzie Borden with the
crime; the defense has not explained
away the circumstances which most di-
rectly suggest her guilt, or dlspelled the
cloud of suspicion in which she has
been enveloped. Those who, before
the trial, believed her innocent will
believe her innocent still; those who
believed her guilty will believe her
guilty still" guilty, but not proven"
She will not come forth from the trial
invested with the air of clear and I'M
questioned innocence.
And it is very likely true that had
every circumstance been precisely as
developed by the trial, but had COM
mon farm hand held the place of the
accused, by very large majority pub
lie opinion would have condemned the
prisoner. The force of the incriminat-
ing circumstances is lost, or forgotten,
when considered in connection with
the prisoners sex and her blood rela-
tionship to one of the murdered per-
sons. This is to the credit of human
ity. Regardless of every suggestive
circumstance, the great public refuses
to believe that woman could commit
crime so horrible, so monstrous and
unnatural. If they believed it, they
would believe also that it was the
work, the result, of irresponsible men
tai conditions.
Massachusetts papers may be par
doned for enlisting so actively and so
unreservedly in the defense. They
may be excused for throwing to the
winds every semblance of an honest in
quiry after the real facts, for ridiculing
the prosecution, reviling its witnesses
and exalting every word and act of the
defense. The state has claimed and
been accorded high precedence in the
scale of civilization. In several brutal
and atrocious murders, of compare
lively recent date, she has had heavy
burden to carry and maintain her moral
pose unimpaired. In the gentlest
aspect in which the Borden murders
can be viewed, they would awaken,
even in central Africa, thrill of hor-
ror. What would be said of Massachu-
sets superior civilization should it be
shown that Lizzie Borden is in fact the
doer of murders unparalleled in the
dark annals of crime? For the credit
of Massachusetts and for the larger
credit of humanity, millions will well
come with all Massachusetts, her peo-
pie and newspapers, the acquittal of
the woman who has been on trial at
New Bedford.
Since the above was written the tele-
graph brings the news that every one
had anticipated. AT quarter past four
on Tuesday afternoon the verdict of
the jury, "not guilty." was given.
