The Duluth Herald OF day or 80 ago
contained an account OF the finding of a
bottle containing message from Can't.
Mckay, OF the lost steamer Manistee.
The bottle was picked up on the shore of
Chequamegon Bay and presented q sea-
worn appearance and the ink of the mes
sage was faded so as to be almost indis-
tinguishable. The same paper contained
the opinion OF Capt. McKay's brother, of
Cleveland, that the bottle message was a
lake, basing his opinion on seyersl mac
curacies in the message, for instance a
wrong time OF leaving Bayfield, on that
Inflated trip. The captain OF the Peerless
on the down trip stated that the message

the lake to have been faxed up, il indeed
found at all.
The alleged message simply stated that
the boat was laboring in heavy storm
and did not steer WE'LL

Ashland at thesame time as the Manist O
that night and for long tine the lights
OF the latter were in sight. Pieces of the
wreckage were found at widely separated
places, put the position Of the hull If It
sunk intact is still mystery.
The Duluth story brings to mind again

Fourteen Mile Point, who brought the

Charles II. Yale's magnificent produc-
tion "The Twelve Temptations" will be
at the Armory Opera House on the even
ing OF June l.. 1t is said to be by long
odds one OF the biggest, best and most
magnificent spectacles now commanding
the attention OF the American public.
Mr. Yale wrote the dainty little story of
the play, dealing interestingly with love,
elm Vaccinations, adventures at the
north pole in quest OF wealth supposed to
be hidden there, pantomime and spoken
fun; in fact a good deal OF everything the
people have liking for The clever plot
is developed by thoroughly competent
dramatic organization. Ire premieres
danseuse are Sgnoritas Ferrero and Bas-
seggio, famous Italian ballet stars of the
utmost brllianey, while the grand balets
are under the direction OF Signor Aurelio
COCOA, one OF Europe's greatest ballet |
masters. The large ballet troupe is com
posed OF young and shapely ladies spe-
cially selected for their personal charms,
complishments. The specialties are the
Rosaries in amusing acrobatic ieats; John
Harry in wondrous exhibition of Jug
Cling; jessie Sisson and Harry NJ. Brown
in their "Chanson Characteristique
and Rose Kesner in her laughable crea-
ton, "The Giddy Old Maid"
Superb indeed are the grand ballets OF
The Four Seasons" and the National

catch on tremendously, especially as song
ls drawn upon to depict the triumphs OF {

sides, there are n any important solos.
and concerted dances, which will call .
forth all the accomplishment OF the three
celebrated premieres. Prominent feat
ures OF the great show piece are Mr. Yale's
capital descriptive songs, all of which are
new, and his latest and most up-to.date
compositions. Everybody will surely en-
core over the Ridge" wonderfully re-
alistic and cunning ditty descriptive OF the I
