Butte, Helena and Anaconda Much Pleased
with Morrison.
Lewis Morrison presents Faust at
the Billings opera house tomorrow
evening and the fact that he has de-
lighted large audiences at Butte, Hell
ena and Anaconda should insure him a
crowded house in Billings. Read what
the western Montana papers say Of the
production.
Butte Inter Mountain: Lewis Nor
rison last night packed the Grand opera
house to the doors and we'll be deserved
the splendid reception accorded him.
He is the only "Mephisto'' in the eyes
Of theater -goers. He has had many
imitators. but they remain imitators
they are never equals. He seems the
incarnation of his satanic majesty
pre- eminently fitted by nature to play
the role he has for SO many years. 1t
will be hard to accept him in any other
role, but this is his last tour in
Faust" Next year he appears in a
new play, Frederick the Great, a
play founded on incidents in the life of
the German emperor. Mr.. Morrison
carries his usual effective company.
Helena Independent: Lewis Morri-
son gave a characteristic presentation
of Faust" at Ming's opera house last
night to a large, though only fairly APP
preciative, audience. MI. Morrison, in
the leading role, was the Morrison of
other days. and his Interpretation Of
the diabolical character Of "Mephisto, +"
his original creation. was forcible and
artistic. The inferno of Mr.. Morrison
was all that it was cracked up to be,
and as a moral lesson might be recon
mended.
Anaconda Standard: To Lewis Nor
1ison the theater going public is in
debted for an Interpretation Of Goethe's
mystical and immortal drama,
Faust" that is as clear and limpid as
a running stream of water. From every
view point last nights performance at
the Margaret theater was a masterpiece
long to be cherished in the memory
as al artistic triumph. The audience
was magnificent in point Of size and
throughout keenly appreciative. Mr..
Morrison and his associates apparently
were at the very best. The mountings
and accessories were perfect.

Ross, the Night Bartender at Savaresy's,
Goes Out for y Time.
Frank Savaresy, the Italian saloon
keeper. has sworn out a warrant for the
arrest of his night bartender, Frank
Ross. who last night made himself con
spiouous by his absence, at the same
time taking $45. so with him, belong
ing to his employer and which had
been left in the money drawer. The
bartender decided to have a %rip-roaring
time and left the saloon at 8 O'Clock
this morning, leaving the same in
charge of a lounger. a Swede. Ross
took with him every cent belonging to
the Italian and that proved too much
for the a from sunny Italy. Up to
the time Of going to press neither the
bartender nor Savaresy's filthy lucre
had been located.

MONEY MARKET FACTORS.

The banks received last week 81 100000 from the
West Indies. II is understood that coo will be
received in the course Of few days from the Same
sources. and that end OF the week receipts from
the interior will be heavier than at any time this
season. In yesterdays market call loans lent as
high as per cent breaking in the afternoon to
per cent. Well Informed bankers expressed the
opinion that from now on easier conditions would
prevail in the money market. Gold imports are
further off than they Monday owing to
advance in foreign discounts easier rates here
and firmer sterling market. II the indications
noted in yesterdays financial markets develop into
certaintles there will be no need Of gold imports,
but 1t should be borne I'm mind that the country
has a big unpaid balance abroad. and that II the
backbone of the Transvaal should suddenly
be broken gold would begin to flow this way. The
money outlook is encouraging than II has
been at any time this fall, and the known move
ment OF money so far this week. together with the
enormous liquidation Of loans at the close of last
week. suggest that Saturdays bank statement Will
be an encouraging document for the bulls in the
stock market. The fact that London does not in
tend willingly to permit gold exports TO TINS coun-
try was reflected in strong foreign discount mar
ket yesterday. In the local market sterling rates
were rmer while the offerings Of cotton bills were
