Park-.CoIoneI Jack.

The Ricketts, Troubadours will present
the musical comedy. Colonel Jack" at the
Park the first half of the week, opening to-
morrow matinee. The play is pure comedy,
and there. Is just enough of a plot to hang
the piece consistently together while not
enough TO distract the mind at any time
from the continuing gayety which the play
inspires. Colonel Jack, a lawyer with a de-
cided penchant for gold. plays his charms
upon Surepty Podsnap. who has an equally
positive prediction for the same thing.
Each of the scheming pair thinks the 9TH
er is deceived. They marry, and to their
mutual horror 1t is discovered that there
Is no money on either side OF the family.
This misfortune is folio we'd by the most
comical domestic discord. a Stanton
and Ruth Tasselton are clients of Foxglove
and~3oxe each other, not too well, but I'M
wisely. The old lawyer, who is at bottom
Kind in heart, finally contrives to bring his
clients back TO each others arms, and sue
ceeds by making them sign a legal docu-
ment which they think provides for separa-
ton, but which he knows is a bond for
their future welfare. Incidental to the
comedy numerous specialties will be intro
duced. Selections from the operas by Nine.
Carrie Roma, the ballads of Mr.. Harry
Mcdowell, the Whirlwind dance by the
Passed. sisters and the coster songs of Lit
tie Ethel" are a feature.

CATTLE Queen of Montana.

At English's Opera House, tomorrow
evening, Mrs. Nat Collins, ''The Cattle
Queen of Montana will give an interest
ing, entertaining and educational talk on
subjects relative to personal experiences
during a residence of forty years in the far
West. She is a woman who Is thoroughly
conversant with the many subjects touched
on in her talk, and possessed of a power
and talent in the line of description such as
is rarely encountered. For forty years the
far West has been her home, and her whole
life has been tinged with romance. When
a mere girl she went with her parents to
Denver. which at that time consisted solely
of one little log cabin and a few tents.
Later she and her brother accompanied a
wagon train from the Missouri river to the
Rockies twelve times, she acting as cook.
The twelfth time Indians captured the
train, and for eight months she was a pris-
oner. Horrible stories does she tell Of that
time. Sick children buried alive before their
mothers eyes, squaws beating out the life
of infants, exhausted women prodded with
spears, the awful sun dance. the burning
alive of a Mexican. All these things was
she compelled to witness. She is a pleasant
speaker, and the breezy incidents of West
ern life she relates would fill volumes

The Christmas star.
Within the armament OF days
That spans the evanescent year,
That glimmers in confusing maze
OF shifting lights. now DIM. now clear.
Resplendent in the midst of them,
One bright day shines forevermore.
AS shone the star OF Bethlehem.
With hopes effulgent beams of yore.
Once we. the shepherd and the sage,
Poor dreamers, both, who scanned the sky,
Could read from glowing page to page
But this: that man was born to die.
Beholding blossoms fade
Beneath the winters icy breath,
What wonder. cherries and afraid,
We saw the token of our death.
The trees. all shJrn of verdure. bowed
Above the brook in mute despair;
White winter came and draped a shroud
OF snow about them, while the fair
Blue dome o'erhead drew far away
And sunless, sodden. it became
But barren space, bleak, cold and gray,
Dead ashes Of the summers flame.
Each tickle joy. each fading fiow'r.
That childhood cherished into bloom,
When plucked. each persisted in the hour,
And. passing. prophesied our doom.
So life was all a restless dream
OF death, where souls in rknes CROPPED,
Enwrapped In that despair, supreme.
Which nothing had and nothing hoped.
For, ever, as the north wind bore
The unseen wrath of death along,
Above the angry tempests roar,
We heard the spirits grooming song.
In solemn chant of sigh and moan,
His weird voice mingled in the blast,
And well we knew its monotone
Would charm and chill our hearts at last.
Thus helpless, hopeless, on we strayed
Down in the gloom of starless night,
The valley OF deaths dismal shade,
Till suddenly, with wond'rous light,
From heaven flashed a newborn star.
Then straightway faith and hope were
born
And death and darkness vanished far
Before the blessed Christmas morn.
