THE MONEY OUESTIOs.
Expressions of Travelling Commercial
Aaen on the Leading Topic.


Montanans express little surprise over
the sentiment in the East against silver
after they have had a short conversation
with that class of genteel Americans
known as drummers, more prettily spo-
ken Of as commercial travellers. This class
of American citizens represent an ele-
ment in a country's history that gains an
education through coming in contact with
the brightest and best of the business
men of the land. They come in contact
with such a varied class of people that
they can come within one of giving the
professional politician a pointer on how
a general election will turn out.
Among the arrivals at the Butte yes
terday were l.. Z. Neergard. the western
representative of a life insurance COM
pany. and w. S. Needham, representing
st. Louis millinery house. Both gentle
men insist that they are free silver ad-
voeates and believe that IL silver was re-
monetized that the business OF the coun-
try would revive so rapidly that the big
business men of the East would wonder
why they had hesitated in taking sides In
the one issue that is now before the
American people.
Mr.. Needham said:

The Eng gem mt OF his Tragedian Il q
P.etsing Announcements.
The engagement of the distinguished
ira gedian, Frederick Warde, at Ma
CURES opera house has always been
one Of the greatest treats of the dra-
matte season in Butte and IL is prom
ised that this season will be no excep-
ton to the rule Mr.. Warde's company
comprises many members who have
been with him the past four years and
who are great favorites in this city.
Among these are Messrs. Charles ID.
Herman, Beverly Turner. Harry c.
Barton, Charles Clarke, Ernest G.
Warde and John Hickey. Among the
new members who are very highly
spoken of are Messrs II. ID. Byers,
Charles Sutton, Grant Foreman, Ray
mond Whitaker and the Misses Portia
knight. Lucia Moore, Pearl Humphrey
and Mrs. Isabelle Waldron.
The engagement begins on Thursday
night with a magnificent production of
the delightful French romance, BEL
phegor, the MounteDank," in which
pathos and comedy are admirably
blended Friday evening, his latest
success, Shakespeare's king Lear, ="
will be presented. For the matinee. a
beautiful production of "Virginius" Is
promised and Saturday night the en-
gagement ends with a production of
Damon and Pythlas."
Mr.. Warde realizes that a local thea
ter cannot provide appropriate scenery
for every play presented by travelling
companies, and that the habitual thea
tergoer Is frequently compelled to wit
ness play after play, set in the same
familiar surroundings that have done
duty as ancient, mcdowell and modern
scenes alike. To obviate such incon-
gruities Mr.. Warde carries with him
the entire scenery necessary to prop
erly stage all of the pieces of his large
repertoire. A building consisting of
three stories and a basement, located
on one of the principal streets of
Brooklyn, N. Y, and erected especially
for the purpose, is devoted solely to the
preparation of the productions of clas-
sic drama made by Mr.. Warde annual
ly. 1t contains two paint frames, a
carpenter shop. workroom for ward
robe makers, rooms for the manufac-
ture Of properties, artists studios and
a large space for the storage of scenery
when not in use. Here scenic artists.
seamstresses and theatrical mechanics
are constantly at work in making
ready the new scenery and mountings
for contemplated productions and re-
newing and keeping in order those now
in use. The romantic dramas which
Mr.. Warde has produced this season
are described as productions as elabo-
rate in every detail as were his ia
nous Shakespearean revivals, wit
messed here last year.

Mr.. Niergard said: Il have just return

ment among moneyed men back there Is

OF your country. The single standard the

CHICAGO, ILL.,. October 5.--Police
officers from the Harrison street station
are investigating the case Of wholesale
infanticide. Since last Thursday, the
bodies of three babies have been taken
out of the Chicago river at the Harrison
street bridge. Each case of autopsy
showed that the infant had been thrown
into the river while yet alive. The po-
lice believe that baby farm is in exis-
tence in the city on large scale, from
which infants are carried to the bridges
at night and thrown into the river.
