THEY WANDERED WIDE.
Travels of Two Alleged Priests Through
Montana. = tss

Anaconda is not the only place in
the state visited by the two men
claiming to be priests who were here
last Tuesday. The Butte Montana
Catholic of yesterday, in detailing their
wanderings, says:
AT ST. Patricks rertory in this city
it was learned that they had called
here some time ago and were sent to
Helena. At the latter place they pre-
scented to Rt. Rev. Bishop Brondel a
letter purporting to be from their own
bishop somewhere in the Orient. The
letter was written in bad French, and
signed by what appeared to be Ger
man name. While this proceeding was
in bad form, as the letter should have
come from the Prefect of the Propa-
ganda, or department of foreign mis-
sions in Rome, Bishop Brondel waved
that formality and sought for the name
of the signer of the letter in an inter-
national church directory, but failed
to find it there. He then. it is under
stood, declined to give them permits
sion to solicit money which was the
Helena.
''They returned to Butte, where they
were given the benefit If the doubt by
the reverend clergy and sisters at the
hospital. The former received them
kindly and contributed various articles
to their rather scanty wardrobe, and
the sisters cared for them at the hos
pital during their brief stay.
zone of them. who gave his name as
Gregory, claimed to be a priest, and the
other a deacon, the latter giving the
name of Ouidar. Gregory, when asked
when and where he had said mass last
used few signs and some bad English
to indicate that he had been sick and
that he had not been in condition to
celebrate mass for some months, an ex-
PLANTATION that was not at all satisfac-
tory, and gave encpuragement to the
suspicion that the Visitors We're either
assembling or We're too simple and in
nocent to be out in the big world with
out a guardian.
On Tuesday the travellers appeared
in Anaconda, and from that city they
went to Spokane"

PEOPLE WILL NOT PLAY
So Anaconda Pool Rooms Are
Closed Once More.
NO MONEYIN THE BUSINESS
Centennial Rooms Closed Their Business
Last Night-Proprietor Tells Why
This Action Is Taken-Not
Enough Sports.

They're Off" will be heard no more
for some time. Emil Hansen, proprietor
of the Centennial pool room, decided
yesterday afternoon to quit the bust
ness in this city for the reason that
the playing on the races has become
too light, and on Monday there will be
no playing.
There will probably be formed a
new organization within short time
said Nh. sullivan of the Centennial
pool room last evening. The principal
playing will be on combinations. 1t
was impossible to keep up business, as
the betting was too light. There are
about Ii regular players in Anaconda
and few of them ever bet more than a
couple of dollars. The book playing
has been very poor, but the combina-
tions have been fair There has been
betting in this town of 5000 a day and
the daily expenses have been $15, so
that it was impossible to make any
money. | consider that during the past
week the Centennial pool room has lost
$3.50
Betting on the races has been light
in Anaconda ever since the Turf EX-
change pool room was opened. about
three months ago. The Centennial
room had good playing, but there were
not enough followers of the thorough
breds to support the two places. About
two months ago it was announced that
the two establishments had closed up
and this was followed by the announce
ment that the council would impose a
license upon these establishments. The
price of the license was fixed at $lOO
for three months.
Emil Hansen of the Centennial pool
room and James Johnson of the Turf
Exchange had a conference and they
decided to take turns at losing
money" and the Centennial opened for
business. Now it has closed again.

Great MOrkers Sleep Little.

STILLWELL ELIMINATED.
Distinct Predominance of Hartman
Thalmann Ideas Will Be Shown.

Chicago, October S0.-The Record tomor-
row will say:
CLOSER inquiry into the terms of the
great peace which has come about in Pitts
burg and Gulf affairs seems to indicate that
Mr.. Stillwell has been virtually eliminated
as a controlling factor in the reorganiza-
ttion. Mr.. John w. Gates, of the Guardian
Trust company, returned from New York
today. He declined to say that third and
final plan of reorganization will be made
public either today or tomorrow. Enough
is obtainabe from all sources to warrant
the belief that when this joint plan appears
1t will show a distinct predominance of
Hartman Thalmann ideas and the absence
of two of Mr. Stillwell's favorite enterprises
the Kansas City Suburban Belt road and
the Port Arthur Channel and Dock COM
Dany.
Mr.. Stillwell and Mr.. Gates will probably
remain in the "voting trust for the new
securities and the Amsterdam member may
be retained but the other places will proba-
bly, be taken by E. II. Hartman Ernest
Thalmann and other New York capitalists.
This arrangement will give virtual control
of the Hartman, otherwise the Chicago
and Alton interests, without the aid of which
it would have been impracticable or difficult
ITO finance the reorganization at this time
So far as the Philadelphia committee has
perfected arrangement for traffic alliances
with new connections with the Great North
ern or Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
systems there will probably be no changes,
but the gulf road will be put in a position
where it may make highly profitable ar
road, gaining a Chicago terminal and CIV
ing a gulf outlet. The financing under the
new plan is said to have been arranged

"HeId by the Enemy"

Never in Birmingham's Uheatrical history
has her people been given such hieh-class
popular priced repertoire as that intro
duced last night at the Auditorium by tine
Khmt- Hearn company in William Gillette's
great play, Held By THE Enemy" The
audience was an exceedingly large one, and
THE presentation of this worldwide success
was admirably done without a flaw The
cast of characters could not have been bet
ter filled, for there is not single stick
in the entire company. For personal APP
pearance, better-dooking company DIS rare
ly ever seen, and from professional stand
point they are all splendid performers.
George Kimt and Alma Hearn, the two
stars, were never seen to better advantage,
their support could hardly be bettered and
an audience is rarely given more satisfac-
ton THAN that served ITO the Auditoriums
last night. Some clever specialties were
introduced, which added very much to the
strength of the performance.
Tonight thhS company Will be seen i'm
Alabama Augustus Thomas famous
play, the scenes of which are laid near
Talladega, in this state. A matinee will be
given Wednesday, and all the week the
same strong plays, none of which have
ever been played there ait popular prices,
will be presented.

If one-half of the compliments that have
been paid to John Stapleton's comedy, "a
Bachelors Honeymoon. are merited, the
theater-going public in this city have a
veritable treat in store at O'Brien's opera
house tomorrow and Thursday nights and
Thursday matinee.
The play which is farcical in theme and
construction, was produced originally last
season at Hoyt's theater, New York, and
scored a hit with the metropolitan public.
The story concerns the experience, for one
day, of a widower whose marriage is sub
ject to the approval of his maiden sister,
on account of the eccentric will of his de-
ceased parents. He marries an actress,
whom he introduces into his household as
a governess for his twin daughters, who
themselves are of a manageable age. The
complications which grow out of this act
of his commence almost with the rise of
the curtain, and become SO thoroughly con-
fusing that no two characters in the play
know what they are about until the final
denouement in the last act The fun is
spontaneous, and the play is said to be one
long, irresistible and joyous laugh When
here last season the play was greatly en-
joyed.

Mr.. Skinner has yet had. MISS Nanette
Comstock will be his beading lady, and the
rest of the organization is said to include

characters. The pay is written in isht
and sparkling style, and is told in four acts,
the first being the interior a large tent
situated on the bank of the Thames, the
second the sitting room of THE Star and

drawing room, and tine fourth the drawing
room of Sir CihIistopher's fiat. 1.-THE Liars"
is a novel love story, full of exquisite lit

DARING ROBBERY

tempt to Suppress Facts

ST. Louis, Mo-, October 9O.-Robert B.
Jennings, secretary and treasurer of the
Broadway cable line was robbed of $1,O43 in
cash and $iS75O in checks while standing on
the rear platform of a Broadway car at
Broadway and Washington avenue at noon
today. The police attempted to suppress
the facts and as consequence the news
was not known generally until three or four
hours later in the day. The robbery, COM
mitted in broad day light on one of the
busiest corners of st. Louis is regarded as
one of the most daring crimes committed
in the history of local police annals.
Mr.. Jennings had just withdrawn the
money from the bank, intending to take it
to the railroad companys office on North
Broadway to pay off the hands. The rob-
Der evidently knew he had drawn the
money.
Just as Mr.. Jennings was getting on the
car two men approached and one of them
jostled up against him, giving him what is
termed in police parlance the "strong arm"
This was done to attract his attention away
from the other man, who picked his pockets
while he turned to see who jostled him.
Jennings discovered that he had been rob-
bed shortly afterwards, but the men had
| in the meantime made their escape. When
| he learned of his loss he reported to the
| police and five detective were Immediately
| dispatched to the scene to work on the case.
F. The robbers however, had secured a good
lead and the police could find no trace of
them
Payment on the checks, which were
drawn on the Boatmen's bank, has been
stopped by the railroad company. Mr..
Jennings was robbed of a large amount OF
money several years ago under somewhat
! similar circumstances. Two men boarded a
Broadway car and snatched up satchel
which he had at his feet containing A00O.
The robbers were captured and sent to the
penitentiary.
