Butte, May 16.-Roland Reed, the
popular comedian, will make his an
nual visit to Butte next week and will
open his engagement on Thursday
night with his new play, The Politi-
clan, or the Woman's Plank In which
he has made a tremendous hit this sea-
son. Lend Me Your Wife" and y
Woman Halter will be given Friday
and Saturday. The Politician is sat
iricaI comedy dealing with the humor-
GUS elements of a political campaign.
1t was written by David Dudley Lloyd,
who as Washington city correspondent
of the New York Tribune, had ample
opportunity to sketch such matter to
the life. He wrote the play with stu
dious care for John T. Raymond, and
the latter played IL a season with good
success. Lloyd died. Raymond DIED,
and Roland Reed. a contemporary OF
Raymond but who in some respects
may now be called his successor, be-
came possessor of the play. and sgd
ney Resented, whose principal and only
work of note had been on comic opera
lines remodeled IL, and rechristened H.
Probably the introduction of THE
womans Plank" was in the direction
of bringing the play up to date. but
more probably Ii was for the purpose
of introducing a new element OF inter-
est. the feminine element, in which.
with any degree of prominence, For
Congress" was lacking. With such a
woman as Miss Isadore Rush as the
representative of the new woman the
play is certainly improved, and per-
haps the same may be said Of making
the principal character practical pol
itician instead of the candidate. At
any rate II certainly suits Roland
Reed, and is an excellent vehicle for the
particular comedy and dry humor that
have been so long associated with his
name.
The play, too. as 1t is, is still pow
erful sarcasm on a phase Of American
politics that may almost he said to be
commonplace. The candidates. the con-
vention, land when men delegates bolt
they bolt in a heap" the banner dele
cation, "as goes Slokumville so goes
the country the handy tools of the
wire-puller, the leading delegates and
the village politician, all these, to the
general public. inner mysteries of prac-
teal politics, are satirized in a way
that all may enjoy hearty laugh over.

Baltimore Servant Who Created Conster-
nation In Two Families.
From the Baltimore Sun.
The families of Thomas f. Neary and
Julius Wolf yesterday moved from a
house on Cough street, near Broadway,
because, they said. the house was
haunted.
Mr.. Neary is a formean at the Balti-
more Chrome works His wife made the
following statement at her new home, s
South Ann street:
Two years ago / moved into the house
on Cough street renting rooms on the
second and third floors from Mr.. Wolf,
who was then occupying the house. We
had not been there long before We began
to hear strange noises in the house at all
hours of the night. The noises sounded
like chairs being showed across the floor,
windows being raised and then let down
with a slam, crockery being disturbed
and barrels being moved about in the cell
lar. 1 called my husbands attention to the
sounds, but he said they were caused by
rats.
About two months ago Mrs. Wolf en-
gagged a servant, who was girl about
13 years old. This girl was born with a
caul over her face and we thought she
was able to see supernatural things. She
had been in the house but few days
when she said she had seen some one
walk through the rooms at night. 1t is
reported about the neighborhood that
some years ago a woman who lived in the
house saturated her clothing with coal oil
and then set ii on fire. She was burned to
death. 1t may have been her ghost, but
anyhow the girl was constantly seeing
strange things.
Last Friday night was sitting in the
hall of the house with Mrs. Wolf and 9TH

something to say. The fact of tie
matter is, It's a story out OF whole
cloth. and even the witpesses whom size
refers to deny any recollection or any
such ceremony. 1T used TO be one of
Stetson's favorite aphorisms that he
had never married. and never would
marry. And he certainly never cid,
until he baceme united in the bonds of
wedlock to the charming ami aniable
woman who has just died.
Another story started is that Adah
Richmond says that she is not battling
for her own rights. but for those of the
father of John Stetson, with whom
she has as much to do as the man in
the moon. Mr.. Stetson did not ignore
his, father. His father is about 81 years
old, and has about s67 900 In his own
right. He has always been a frugal,
living man, and that amount of
money will certainly suffice him for the
