Sherlock Holmes Dramatized.

The play of Sherlock Holmes" in
which DIR. Conan Doyle and Mr.. Gill
lette have cOllaborated, is remotely
founded. according to the London Mail,
upon the two stories called "A Scandal
in Bohemia" and THE Final Problem. -
the woman, Irene Adler and Professor
Moriarty playing prominent parts. To-
wards the end Holmes is compelled to
brave the almost certain death which
awaits him at MOrarity's hands, by
venturing single-handed in one of the
lOneliest and eeriest haunts of the
gang. among the ruffians whom he is
bent upon DISCRIMINATING. This scene,
in the East End, leads to the dramatic
and sensational climax of the play. but
glimpses are afforded, also. of the mys-
FERROUS headquarters of Moriarty, in a
decayed mansion in one of the best
squares in Bloomsbury, and one of the
bachelor rooms in Baker street, in
which the redoubtable Sherlock smoked
his pipe, played his violin. and thought
out the explanations of the most un-
fashionable crimes which Mortified and
bewidered the world. Beyond the at
moSphere and dramatic motives of
these stories. however, there is nothing
in the play which is not original; and
so with the whole set of characters.

and equally important figures, and

Actresses Salaries.

Having established herself pre-emi-
nently as our chief player in petticoats.
what is Zaza Carter worth in the way
of salary? asks Hillary Bell in the
New York Press. No one knows what
her arrangements are with David
Belasco. In the suit against Fairbanks
her teacher said he gave Mrs. Carter
a salary of $50 a week. Times have
changed since then, and the actress
value with them. Before the produc-
ton of the present drama a syndicate
offered her $1,000 d week, and "Zaza"
has declared her worth much more in
disputably than THE Heart" If Mrs
Carter was rated in December ab 81. 900
a week she should demand a higher
salary after playing to standing room
for nearly six months. Ada Rehan's
salary was $500 "a week, yet she never.
made such a run as has been achieved
by Zaza Carter. Lillian Russell re-
ceived $500 a week from Abbey,
Schoeffel & Grau, and her engagement
was a failure. Abbey's contract with
Sarah Bernhard gave her $500 a
week. Eleonora Duse, who assumes
the risk of her own management, is
supposed to have an average income
of about SLIGO week. In his
season now ended, Richard Mans
fields personal earnings from "Cy-
rano de Bergerac" amounted to
almost 5000 a week. Three sea-

TO RELIEVE ALASKA MINERS
THE GOVERNMENT EXPEDITION
STARTS OUT WITH RATIoNs.
Will Hunt Up the Destitute and Suf-
fering Prospectors In the Cooks
Inlet Country.

Washington, July 1.-Assistant Secre-
tary of War Meiklejohn has received a
report from Captain Edwin F. Glenn.
Twenty-fifth infantry, commanding the
Cook inlet expedition, dated Tynoonook,
Alaska, June 5, 1899, in which he states
that on June he started a detachment
consisting of seven men TO Knik sta
ton, properly supplied and equipped
with rations to Oct. 81 next.
The instructions delivered to the men
were to proceed to Eagle City by the
valley of the MadanuSka river. They
We're to proceed through such passes of
the Alaskan range of mountains as
might prove most practicable. and in
case no one was found west of Meikle-
john pass. they were to go Through it.
This pass, Captain Glenn thinks, can
be easily reached from the trail fol-
lowed by himself during the season of
1898
1t is further stated by Captain Glenn
that the past winter was very mild
one, the lowest temperature reported at
Knik station being SO degrees below
zero, yet the spring has been late.
In compliance with instructions given
last fall, Sergeant Yanert, in charge of
Knik station, surveyed and staked out
a military reservation one mile square,
upon which buildings were erected and
provision made for stock and proven
der.
Captain Glenn states that he has con-
structed at TynOonook a etOrehouse
twenty by twenty-five feet, tc accom-
MEDIATE the stores of the command and
protect them from the rain and Inow.
He has also gotten out the logs for
building twenty by twenty-six feet, for
quarters and further storage.
In view of the foregoing facts. Cap
tain Glenn recommends that such ami
mails as may be brought back safely
from the interior be left at TynoonOok
and knik inlet, with the smallest num-
Der of men necessary to take proper
care of them and the stores.
Captain Glenn requests instructions
as to the disposition of the steamer
Duchnesay in case she is used in nav
igating the Sushitna and Yento rivers
with safety. 1t is thought that she can
be safely put upon temporary ways
constructed at TynoOnook. and will re-

states. has just returned from the Knik
arm. having made the distance, 40
miles, in eleven hours, besides unload
ing her cargo within that time. This
was done. he says, under little steam
or at little more than half speed. and
Captain Glenn proceeded at once TO
load her for her first trip up the Su-
shitna.
Captain Glenn further states that
Sergeant William Yanert, who is a vet
eran in Alaskan exploration and VINO
was to take charge of detachment for
operations in the interior of Alaska,
declined to re-enlist for further duty in
Alaska, so that he has been forced to

Mr.. Scott, lis necessary to the por-

hand, Alan Dale of the New York

He says: IF Sarah crowns herself

Arizona said Mr.. Thomas, I'VE were
obliged to have someone who looked

STANLEY'S LETTER.
he Speaks of Map-making In Europe
and In This Country.

II. M. Stanley's name does not appear
in print very often, but when it does
there is generally something worth
reading, especially if the famous ex-
plorer writes it himself In another part
OF this issue there appears a letter
from Mr.. Stanley, and in it he says
something that is worth knowing. He
tells where we can find an atlas that
is perfectly adapted for present day
use. This is a very good thing to
know. He speaks of the maps in The
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia in
terms of the highest possible praise. He
refers particularly TO the maps of CEN
trail Africa, a country with which he
is probably better acquainted than any
other living man. If for no other rea-
son than to see the unstinted praise
that he bestcws upon American work
manship the letter should be read by
everyone. 1t appears that in the past
European map-makerS were the best:
but now America is leaving Europe be
hind. In maps. as well as in steel rails
and locomotives, America now leads.
The Century is the great publication
that the Times-Herald is placing among
the readers of The Salt Lake Herald
on very advantageous terms.
