Grand onern Honse.

The 'Little Lord Fauntleroy" com
 pany opened a three nights engage
 ment to a good sized audience at the
 Grand last evening. Mrs. Frances
 Hodgson Bennett's beautiful idyle is as charming and interesting as ever, and still holds the strong interest in the hearts of the public which has charac-
 terized the play from it's first appear anee. The company all through is first class, and played last evening to the full satisfaction of all present.
 As Cedric Errol, Little Lord Fauntle- roy. little Miss Laughlin was splendid, Her acting throughout was all that could be desired. The pathetic scenes with the mother and the comedy scenes with the earl were handled with an ease that showed remarkable talent with so young a child. Mrs. Errol, the little lords mother, was portrayed by Miss Beauford, whose characterization was excellent. Mnna, the adventures, was played by Miss Clark, her original character at the Boston museum, and it was up to her usual standard work.
 The earl of Dorincourt, with his blunt characteristic manner, was play ed in a praiseworthy manner by MT. D. D. Denison. He is still the same orusty, but warm hearted old gentle man who, under the softening infiu- ences of the little lord, he turns out to be a most kindly friend of sterling worth, after all, much to the satlsfac- ton of those present. James Horne as his lawyer, was excellent and succeeded in Interesting all in his attempts to soften the grouty earl. Mir. Barton as Hobbs, caused many laugh in his stories about earls, etc.
 The company is an excellent one, and the performance Is all that could be desired. The house should be filled the rest ofthis fine companys stay here. Performances this and to-morrod ey- ening with a special matinee to-day. beside the regular performances to- morrow afternoon and evening. At the matinee this and tomorrow afternoons the prices will be 10c and 2Oc, and large numbers should avail themselves of the excellent opportunity to witness the performance at such prices.
 At the conclusion of the atinee per formances the little lord will be intro- duced to all the little folks at the publia reception and an orange tea will be served which will be given by the company. The children will be intro- duced to the little lord by the earl as they come on the stage Tea will be poured by the ladies' and tables abun- dantly supplied with all that Is good.

COMMITTEE ON CLAIMS.
LETTER CARRIERs.

State Body Proposed-To Meet In New Ha-
 ven.
 The mail carriers of Connecticut are to meet in convention in New Haven on May 31, for the purpose of organizing a state body. The move has been con templated for some time, but 1t was not until recently that the plans of the pro- moters took tangible shape. The na- tional body has taken a deep interest in the project and all the influence they can bring to bear will be used to place the proposed state association upon a firm footing at the outset.
 At the present time every city in the state has an organized force of carriers who have been first affiliated with the national association. Until about two years ago there was state organiza- ton here, but for want of energy on the part of the officers it was allowed to dwindle until it ceased to exist.

A FIERY FURNACE.
GREAT NORTHERN PASSENGERS
HAVE a NARROW ESCAPE.
Burning Tree Fnils Across The Track
Intense Heat From Forest Fires
Bistcrs the Coaches and Nearly
Sets Them AbIazc.

DENVER, Aug. IA special to the
News from Spokane, Wash, says: Pas
sengers on the westbound Great North
ern train had a narrow escape from
death last night. The train had passed
through a fiery furnace of burning for
ests for a distance of ten miles. and
when it reached the Little Spokane
river, about twenty miles east of this
city. huge tree fell across the track
from the mountain above just as the
train was passing. The engine struck
it, causing the train to stop so sud
denly as to throw the passengers vio-
lently from their seats. The burning
tree was dragged partially under the
cars and for a moment the train top
pied to one side until it almost went
into 150-foot chasm on the other side.
So intense was the heat from the for
est fire that the coaches blistered and
almost took fire. The passengers for
a time were panic stricken, and but
for the GOODNESS of the train crew they
would have rushed out into certain
death. The burning tree set fire to
the mail and baggage cars. but the
flames We're extinguished with water
from the stream. With axes the track
was cleared. and the train succeeded
in reaching here badly damaged.
The forest fires have now reached
south along the line of the Great
Northern and continue with undated
vigor Millions of feet of timber have
already been destroyed In the sec
ton where the fires areNnow burning
are several small settlements and a
good many settlers are scattered
throughout the timber and grave fears
are entertained that some may perish
in the flames. In the northern pan
handle of Idaho. wild and uninhabit-
ed wilderness, the fire is rapidly lick
ing up the vast heritage of timbef
Never before in the history of the
northwest have the forest fires caused
so much havoc.

spoke in reply to the suggestion.
He said that the Salt Lake conven-
ton had discussed the question very
fully and arrived at the conclusion
that it could do better by creating SEN
timent within the old parties. He did
not think silver advocates could do
much as an Independent party.
The chairman was inclined to think
that this was a question for the COM
mittee on organization.
E. NJ. Gibson of Alameda thought
the committee should consider the or
ganization of new and distinct po-
litical party. He had been a Republic
can, but he had left that party be-
cuse he had satisfied himself that the
Republican organization would not
settle this question in the interest of
the people.
Today he continued, "our bankers
pretend that we are dependent on En-
gland for our financial system, and as
an American citizen I blush when it is
said that this government is more de-
pendent now on England than 1t was
IN the ante-revolutionary times. L have
hoped that the thinking men OF the
reform element would come together
to form new party. Our parties have
deceived us, and it is time to consider
lllc lOIAudllOA VI d llCW pol IL "
decide to do otherwise, our work will
be brief We can simply say that we
are in favor of free coinage and will
not vote for any man not pledged
thereto. In that way we can threaten
our parties, but that is al"
Chairman Wiley said he thought
there was no doubt that the conven-
ton would settle questions of party
fealty for silver men.
Timothy Guy Phelps thought there
would be many objections at the pres
ent time ITO forming new party.
What we want" said Mr.. Phelps,
lis to educate the people--to get them
talking about the money question. The
only and inevitable result of discus
sion will 'be to bring the people around
to the reconciliation of silver. The
most this convention can do is to in
duce a sentiment that will lead the
people of the state to consider and dis
cuss the question.
IF next spring, the National BIZ
metallic league decides that neither of
the old parties will be for silver then
it will be time to consider the forma-
ton of new party. My vote will be
given next time TO the party that
deals with this question right, no mat
ter what party that may be-
Il do not believe said eX-Congress-
man Clunie, that the rank and file
of the Democratic party are against
free silver, but Mr.. Cleveland and
Wall street are against it. The crown
ing act Of infamy of the nineteenth
century would be the United States
lying PROSTATE before Wall and Lom-
bard streets. / am willing to give the
Democratic party one more chance on
this question. If they will not treat
it right in their platform I am willing
to go as far as any man in making
new party"
Without taking any definite action
the committee adjourned until to-
morrow

MISSIONARIES In JAPAN.
Rev. John McKim Tells of the Work
Being Done.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The Rt. Rev.
John McKim, bishop of Japan, who
is in Chicago at present, preached yes
terday morning in the Grace Episcopal
church and in the evening at Trinity
church. Bishop McKim was sent to
Japan from the Chicago diocese in 1885,
Speaking of his work last night he
said: '.It is our aim to develop a self
supporting Japanese church and our
efforts are being rewarded Seven
years ago there was a boom in our
work. Everything that was western
was grasped by the better class of the
natives. Then there came a reaction,
and everything that was foreign be-
came unpopular. In that year or two
however, all the missions in Japan
were particularly successful. The war
has given an additional impulse to
the Christian missions in Japan. There
were six native Christian ministers
who received commissions from the
government as chaplains in the army
and Shintopx priests, asking the same
privileges, were refused. The Japanese
minister of war gave permission to
every missionary to visit the garrisons,
preach and distribute tracts. This we
believe to be the result of impressions
Japanese army.
''The Roman Catholic missionaries
are the strongest and most influential
in that field, and the Russian Greek
church has great strength also. The
Methodists and Episcopalians are
about equally strong. The Presbyter-
ians in six different bodies have about
an equal number of converts to their
credit The American Episcopal mis-
sion has twenty-six schools for the
education of poor children; six indus
trial schools, four orphan schools, two
large boarding schools for boys, two
for girls and two institutions for the
education of Japanese women of the
higher classes. We have also two
hospitals and four dispensaries. with
1000 Christians connected with the
missions, which are operated from
three centres-Tokio, Osaka and
Kioto''
Bishop McKims diocese is zoo miles
long and 200 miles wide, with a pop
ulation of 16,00O,OOO. One hundred
thousand of these, he says, are con-
verts.
