GLANDS ACROSS THE SEA"

Inc theatrical company now playing at
the Union Family theater, the r. E. French
company, is without doubt the best dra-
matte company seen there in many a day,
and one of the best visiting Butte this sea-
son. Not only are the members capable,
but they costume the roles as they should
be, know their lines and business, and sue
coed in making a most favorable impress
sion. Richard. more Familiarity known as
Dick French, is well known all over the
United States, and has achieved a most en-
Vlable reputation. Of fine physique and
presence, he can always play the handsome
hero to everyone's satisfaction He is,
moreover, an excellent all-around actor,
though the hero role is best suited to him.
AS Jack Dudley, in Hands, Across the
Sea-" he has captured the audiences at the
Union. Eva French plays a minor role. a
fascinating French adventures; but she
gets all there is possible out of the role and
looks very chic and handsome. Blossom
Bordman is not only a good actress, but
very handsome, and knows how to dress
SO as to accentuate her charms. AS the
heroine, she supported Mr.. French splen-
didly. Mamie Holden is a dainty little SOU
brette, and while she is not possessed of
much of a voice, she manages to infuse SO
much archness and brightness into little
songs that she wins applause and encores
finer singers would covet. She puts too
much force into her Dewey song. BY the
way, it has been sprung on unsuspecting
theater-goers by nearly every company
since the victory-and the war is over. Miss
Josephine Strong had nothing in the play
to do but look pretty, and she cannot help
doing that. During an intermissiOn she
sang most charmingly a catchy waltz song,
respondingly graciously to an encore with
Don't Be Cross, Dear Love-" She has a
very fine voice, of peculiar timbre, knows
how to handle it and it's limitations. She
is already established as a vocal favorite.
Paul Bordman made an excellent French
man, voice and makeup, and is certainly
a capital actor. He showed his versatility
by singing some coon songs and indulging
in laughable monologue between acts.
Charles Smiley, who was with Frederick
Warde last season, has a small role, which
he plays for all it is worth. Wallace Hop
per, as Tom Basset, proved himself a ster-
ling actor, and Kinney McCloud, as the viii
lain, Joe Stillwood, was clever enough to
win well merited Kisses. Henry Wilson
and the rest of the company afforded excel
lent support. Hands cross the Sea- is an
excellent melodrama and is we'll staged.
The company should do an immense bust
ness during it's engagement and undoubt-
eddy will. The piece will be given the bal
ance Of the week and Saturday matinee.

that kambich had lied about the matter.
RMS concluded the testimony. Attor-
ney Wines asked that the bond b. fixed
at a low figure so that the prisoner could
furnish bail. The man had a family at
Glendale and was we'll liked in that COM
munity.
District Attorney Rodgers said he was
IN favor of a low bail bond. Inspectors,
however, had always experienced con-
siderable difficulty in tracing up cases
OF this nature and when the proof had
been secured. as in this case, he wanted
the bond made at such a figure as to
assure the attendance of the defendant.
He believed that a bond of $500 would
satisfy the ends Of justice and it was
accordingly placed at this mount.
Mr.. Beck will have no difficulty in
occurring bail. He is furnished with a
statement from the manager of the Hecla
smelter and nearly all of the prominent
citizens of Glendale, testifying to his
good character previous to the letter
writing incident.

THE AGE OF AN OYSTER.

Fishing Gazette: He who wishes may
find out the exact age of an oyster, though
he has not the telltale evidence of teeth.
The lines in the groove of the hinge Of the
shell tell the whole story, each line repre-
senting a year. An oyster is of age at four
years; that is, he is old enough to vote, take
care Of a family, and go to market. Going
to market is a disastrous undertaking, for
a. 4-year-old oyster is. particularly palata-
BILE. But it must not be supposed that after
an oyster has passed the four-layer period
and has five, six, and even ten wrinkles ON
his shell he is a back number. Indeed, there
are records Of oysters being eaten just after
celebrating their 30th birthday, and in most
cases they furnish a delicious meal. Thirty
is an unusual age for an oyster to attain,
because few are given an opportunity to
live so long. If left to enjoy life in his w
way, it is quite probable that the oyster
would become an o~ctogenarian or even q
centenarian.
Captain Cochran on his last trip to Fulton
market brought in an oyster found on his
beds that is believed to be at least 30 years
old.

he Was Prompted to Write an.
Indecent Letter
BY A
HeariGg Held Today and He Was
Held For Trial in the
Sum of $500

Andy Beck, an employee of the Hecla
smeltef at Glendale. who was arrested
about a week ago for sending an obscene
letter, through the mail, now considers
that he was badly jobbed by one of his
countrymen.
He had a hearing today before United
States Commissioner Wood, the prosecu-
ton being represented by United States
District Attorney w. r. Rodgers and the
defense by Attorney ]. L.. Wines. The
evidences of Bezek's guilt were also pres
ent in the shape offthe tell-tale letter ad-
dressed to Martin Konda, an employe of
the D. j. Hennessy Mercantile Co. of this
city, and an admission in writing of the
fact that he had written and mailed the
letter.
Martin Konda was the first witness.
Some time during last April, he said, he
had received the Objectionable letter con-
tanning indecent illusions to a certain
married woman at Glendale. 1t was
written in the Austrian or rather the
S%lavonian language, but he had a trans
alton at hand in English. The English
version of it was placed in evidence. The
witness said he had a ak with Beck
last night, in the course Of which the
latter admitted having written the letter.
Bezek's excuse was that he was
prompted to write the letter by a man
named Kambich of Glendale, who had
informed Beck that Konda had written
a letter to a Slavonian paper in New
York, making some comments about the
Austrian colony at Glendale. Beck be-
lieved the story h and Kambich put
him up to write the indecent letter to
Honda. Later Beck learned thai Kam-
bich had not told the truth.
Postal Inspector Bennett related that
on October Is he called on Beck with the
letter and the latter acknowledged hay
ing written it. Beck told him thai the
letter was dictated by John Kambich, but
he had signed. his w name to it. Beck,
he said, also informed him that he had
written the letter to Konda in order to
get even with the latter for writing a let
ter to some Austrian paper in New York.

Edward knight. an employee of the
run over and killed by an ore
train last night at he curve
near Pacific avenue. Just now
the accident occurred is not known but
it is supposed hat the unfortunate man
slipped on the icy track while trying to
board the cars and fell under them. The
lower part of his body and limbs were
badly crushed, his right arm was cut off
below the elbow and his head and face
were much bruised.
At about Z O'Clock Henry Phillips, a
! miner who lives On West Pacific, neal the
tracks, was standing in front of his resi-
the hill and was backing up preparatory
to getting on, the main line. When it got
to the curve near Pacific avenue a fear
full cry was heard. Phillips was Joined
by a neighbor named McAllister and
both ran to the train which was soon
stopped. A bleeding form was foun on
the track between the cars and Phillips
and McAllister drew it out and aid it
beside the track. Although suffering ter
ribly the injured man was conscious and
complained of the cold. He was taken
to the home Of Samuel Roberts, neal by,
and a telephone message was sent to
Murray & Freund's hospital.
While awaiting the arrival of the am
bulance the man said that his name was
Edward knight and that he was a brake
man on the road. He continually COM
planned of the cold and the pain and SYM
pathizing bystanders refrained from ply
ing him with questions as to how the
accident occurred. In due time the am
bulance arrived and he was conveyed to
the hospital where an examination of his
injuries was made. His injuries We're
so great that all hope of saving him was
abandoned. Anesthetics We're admins
tered and preparations We're made to
dress his wounds, but before they were
completed death came to his relief. The
remain We're emoved to Sherman's un-
%dertaking rooms and Coroner Julien will
hold an inquest as soon as he IAN find
necessary witnesses.
AS far as known the dead man has no
relatives in Butte and efforts are being
made to locate them in the east. Deceased
was about so years Of age, of medium
build and of good appearance. In his
pockets We're found Is cents in cash, an
old receipt for $3.50, a pass-key, a B. A.
& P. switch key and a letter written on
the stationery of the road dated Ana
conda, December 90, and addressed Ed
ward Knight, switchman, Rocker" The
letter was from the superintendent and
notified knight that a suspension of ten
days had been entered against his record
on account of letting two ore cars

TIL Yellow Kid is the most popular come
dian on the American stage. He can sing
better than most boys who dance; he is a
better than most boys who sing. He is an
acknowledged actor, and his versatility is
admitted by all critics. He possesses that
indescribable magnetism which makes his
audience feel as if he were akin to them
and they are proud of him. He has sur
rounded himself, with one of the strongest
companies Of singers and comedians ever
seen in one company, and he gives them all
a chance to show what they can do, and in
his comedy of "Hogan's Alley he gives
his audience full value for their money by
giving them the funniest, cleverest, bright
est and greatest show on earth.
