fith's ability to play the role should not
be questioned; he certainly seems by
nature fitted for it. Tall, awkwardly
graceful, 1.-THE, with a voice wonderful
in articulation, he should make a very

duction is staged with thorough appro-
priatiyeness; the electrical and me-

claimed to be the finest that have been
introduced in the play.
THE BLACK CROOK"
The management of the Opera House
will present to their patrons that gor-
geous and most successful production,
the famous TOmpkins' BLACK Crook,
on Saturday next, matinee and night.
The unequalled success of this grand
legendary drama is attributed, aside
from the strong moral inculcated, to
the lavish expenditure on the part OF
the owners insomuch as spectacle 1t
is unrivalled in this or the old world.
The company visiting this city COM
prises the most talented artists Of the
famous New York run of twelve months
at the Academy of Music. The Sta
lacta" Is in the hands of Miss Leslie
Mayo, accorded to be the most beauti-
full and finely formed lady on the Amer
lean stage The two premiers, Mile
Maveroffer and Mile Kraskee, are most
talented and graceful opponents of terp-
sichorean art and especially engaged
from the leading theatres of Berlin and
st. Petersburg.
THE GERMANS COMING.
Manager Feinler announces as his
attraction for the last half of this week
at the Grand the Germans, John, James
and George, in the new musical farce
entitled The Gilhoolys Abroad" The
Germans are well known and favorites
in this city, having for years been pro-
prietors of the Germans High-Class
Minstrels. "The Gilhoolys Abroad" is
a departure in farce comedy, and con-
tains many funny situations. pretty
dances, marches and lots of good sing
ing.
VAUDEVILLE CLUB TONIGHT.
"The Vaudeville Club" Weber and
Fields big aggregation of variety stars,
will be the attraction at the Grand
Opera House on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings and Wednesday
matinee. The company is headed by
Sam Bernard, who, as a German dia-
lect comedian, has few if any equals
and his representations are said to be
unsurpassed by any artist on the stage.
Another big favorite is the act of the
funny team O'Brien and Buckley, also
that of Mcintyre and Heath, the delin-
Gators of negro comedy. Weber and
Fields have secured a special attrac-
ton for this company in the engage
ment of Meers Brothers, late of the
NOrveau Cirque, Paris. Their perform
ance on the wire is said to be truly
marvellous.

Topeaka. Kan. Nov. 2g.-According TO
the official returns received at the secre-

IT'S A SERIOUS BLOW
The Alaska Town of Juneau PlaS-
tered Over With Claims.
JUST LIKE SMOKEHOUSE
Rufus Coldsteln Filed on the
Property 10 Years Ago and
Superior Authority says He
Owns the Whole Plat.

Port Townsend, Wash, Nov. 29.-The
steamer Alki which arrived from Alas
ka brought news Of considerable eX-
cltement at Juneau as a result OF "A
decision by the government that Will
RESULT in the loss OF a great many
homes and considerable business prop
efty in the best part OF the city. The
decision referred to l. one that has
just been rendered by Secretary OF the
Interior Francis. and II gives to Mrs.
Goldstein a l.ttle more tnan 20 acres
of land In the town of Juneau, on
which her husband filed in her name
as mining claim. The decision re-
turned by Secretary Francis ends the
matter In which at one time or an
other good portion OF the citizens Of
Juneau felt personally interested.
In 1856 Rufus Go.dstein, citizen of
Juneau, which was then not much OF
town, filed a mineral claim In what
was afterwards the best property in
the place. Not much was thought OF
the matter at that time. IL WAS not
until two years later. in 1858, that the
public knew of the fact that a part Of
the townsite was being claimed for
mineral purposes. In that year gov
ernment surveyor was sent north to
stake off numerous mining claims that
had been acted on. Meantime Juneau
had grown and when the people there
saw the government surveyor at work
IN town stalking off some of the best
residence lots in the place they were
more than curious and set about to
learn what it all meant. They were
not long in finding that "a mineral
claim had been filed on the property in
the name of Mrs. A. a. Goldsteln, by
her husband, and that II was being
surveyed under the same law that
governs all similar filings in that ter
r.tcry.
The citizens finally decided to call a
public meeting To discuss the matter
and at this meeting IL was shown that
II the claim of Goldstein should be
sustained IL would seriously injure the
town and the rights of the citizens,
and so much feeling was worked up
over the matter that Il was actually
and seriously proposed TO either hang
Goldstein or throw him in the bay on
the ground that he was public en-
-rmy. The Case WIS hnaIly taken into
the general land Office under the title
of Goldstein VS.. the townsite of Ju-
neau. and il was there decided in favor
of the townste. 1t was then carried
to the supreme court and that body
at once referred it to the interior de-
partment. which has now decided that
the claim of Goldsteln Is valid and
must be sustained. 1t Is held by Sec
retary Francis that where the claim
conflicts with the land occupied by
other parties prior 10 1856, Goldstein
will net be allowed these privileges
but this viii affect a very small por-
tion of his claim. 1t Is said that at
present prices for property in juneau
the Goldstein claim of 20 acres Is
worth from 100000 to 81 100000, most
of 1t being properly held by those who
will find IL to their advantage to pay
a round sum per month rental to their
new landlord rather than give up their
places
