Good News For Our Readers.

Who have scrofuIa taints in their blood.
and who has nOt2 Scrofula in all its
forms is cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla
which thoroughly purifies the blood.
This disease, which frequently appears
in children, is greatly to be dreaded.
Il is most likely to affect the glands
of neck. which become enlarged. erup-
lions appear on the head and face. and
the eyes are frequently affected Upon
its first appearance. perhaps in slight
eruptions or pimpIes, scrOfula should
be entirely eradfcated from the system
by a thorough course of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla to prevent all the painful and
Sickening consequences OF running
scrofula sores which drain the system,
sap the strength and make existence
utterly Wretched.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Topeka theater goers saw for the
first time at the Crawford theater Fri
day night the dramatization Of Frances
HodgsOn Burnett's moraI-bearing
novel, "A Lady of Quality" with Eu-
genie Blair in the dominating part of
'-ClOrinda WiIdairs." To those who
have read the book the performance
was the most satisfactory, for the
dramauzaLiOn in places may be said
10 be weak Enthusiasm was never at
premium during the evening, but the
audience showed its appreciation of
Miss Blair's work by calling her before
the curtain after the third act
The peculiar WOmanly character Of
Mrs Burnett's novel IS given an inter
probation by Miss Blair that is satisfy
ing TO those familiar with the "Clorinda
w lQalFs OF the book At the opening
of the initial act she is the associate in
knlcker bOckers OF her drunken father
and his dtssOIute companions. but be-
fore its close she becomes the woman
OF powerful will and Queenly demeanOr
that is known through the latter pOr-
ton OF the successful novel In the sec
ond act she has the first possibility
given her by the matizatiOu, the
scene with Sir John Oxon in the rose
garden at Wildairs, and last night Miss
BAR accepted IL admirably. The three
following acts are largely emotional,
and TO Miss Blair's credit must be
placed the failure to OverdO her work
IN any degree Her Interpretation
throughout was accomplished and
painStahlg. and while at times the
Fehemence Of the "CIorinda WfIdairs''
OF the book seemed lacking in the
"Clorinda WIIdairs'' of the stage. the
loss did not constitute an injury to the
performance
me support accorded Miss Blair by

HER REAL NAME.
Eugene Blair Is Really Mrs. Robert
Downing.

Eugene Blair, who is here in "A
Lady of Quality is in private life Mrs
Robert Downing, wife of the well known
tragedfan. For several years she was
with her husband in tragedy roles, and
was also associated with Frederick
Warde and James O'Neill For heE
personal starring tour she has assumed
her mothers maiden name.
1t is said that Mr.. and Mrs. Downing
are one of the most devoted couples on
the stage. Every day, no matter what
the conditions or circumstances may
be, Mrs Downing dispatches a letter
to her husband, and every day receives
a letter from him in return This con-
ditiOn Of affairs is somewhat in con-
trast to that existing between the ma
jority of married people on the stage
Miss Blair is now on her way to the
coast, where she is we'll known as Mrs.
Robert Downing She purchased the
right to present "A Lady of Quality
in the south and west from Julia Ar
thur. and If Miss Arthur's new play
More Than a Queen" proves success
full, she will secure the exclusive right
in the United States.

seems like a revamp Of "My Friend From
H1-Ata' II "The Old Coat He is the
same smooth liar as the star in "Ino Old
Coat and is very like My Friend From
India only instead of posing as a
~theosophist he poses as a bishop. The
story is that of a grave professor who Is
inveigled by his prospective son-in-law
to witness a prize fight. The police raid
the place and they escape by flight. Jones
is also there and seeing them flee follows,
on the way knocking out a policeman.
He insists on remaining in their house
until the policemen who surround the
house have gone. The professor is eX-
pecting his brother, the bishop of Bal
larat, of Australia, to visit him. The
bishop has ordered by mail a new suit of
clothes to be at his brothers awaiting
him as he has been corresponding with
the old maid sister-in-law of his brother.
Jones dons these. When the real bishop
arrives the complications begin. An es-
capped lunatic from an asylum also helps
mix things. 1t is, taken as a whole, very
amusing and clever, the situations being
more humorous than the lines. The COM
pany as a whole is a good supporting one,
nothing brilliant but the roles do not re-
quire it and anyway Clarke is the whole
show. Miss Margaret Marshall, one of
the best known character women on the
Pacific coast, essays a society lady, and
while it is acceptable it is not up to her
usual form. Miss Olive Snide sang Mr..
Clarlle's last song, LAS l Have Chosen
YOU" She has a pleasing voice, nothing
extraordinary, but equal to the require
ments of the song, which by the way is a
very pretty melody. Monica Lee is about
as good an interpreter of Swedish roles
as there is going. There is a large cast
and a very smooth, even performance IS
given. There are no long waits as the
whole action of the three acts is laid in
one evening and in one room. And the
ladies only change their gowns once,
wearing some very swell creallonS.
"'What Happened to Jones' will be given
for the matinee today and for the last
time tomorrow night.

AND THE SAME
DAY IT SHOWED
T1FUL' IN THE VICINITY
OF BUTTE.

Butte has a mantle of 'thc beautiful"
this afternoon such as she has not had
in years.It is a remarkable fact, borne
out by the testimony of numerous old
time residents, that more snow has fallen
in Butte during the past twelve hours
than during any like period within the
recollection of the oldest inhabitants.
and that is saying a good deal. The end
is not yet, and If the snow continues to
fall a few hours longer a record will be
made that Will not soon be broken. The
storm, while quite general, seems to have
been particularly heavy in the vicinity
of the city. At Deer Lodge the fan is
estimated at about eight inches, at Dill
lon about the same, at Monida, where the
railroad crosses the Continental divide,
it is somewhat deeper, and from thas
point south there is but little snow. To-
day in Ogden is like a summers day, and
while the people of Butte are going about
in fur coats, the residents of Salt Lake
are basking in the sunshine. North anG
northwest the fall is quite heavy. 1t
also showed today in Helena, and showed
hard as per dispatches.
The extraordinarily heavy fall Of snow
in Butte has, Of course, been Il serious
handicap to street traffic. The street
was out early this morning, and has been
kept busy all day. In many places it
has been found extremely difficult to
operate it. The West Side line is showed
under, but will be cleared by tomorrow.

THE NEWS RE-
CE|VED IN BUTTE
CLARK'S MINES WHISTLED AND A
CANNON WAS BROUGHT INTO
SERVICE.

The news of the election of Hon. w. A.
Clark as United States senator from Mon
tana was received in Butte shortly after
the noon hour today. Information had
day that the deadlock would be broken
on the second ballot today and that w.
A. Clark woul be elected, SO that his
election was not a matter of surprise to
many of the people around town.
Shortly before l o'clock the whistles of
Clark's mines started up in full blast and
kept up for an hour or more. This was
supplemented by the discharge, at fire.
quent intervals, of a small cannon in
front of the Miner office. The small boy
was in evidence in this sport and the
screams of deligh With which the lads
greeted the discharges of the baby can
non was music to the ears of the Clark
supporters. Then came the decoration
of Clark Bros. bank, two mammoth
national flags covering the entire front
of the building.
There was jubilation among the Clark
men while the opposing democratic fac
ton could not be cOnsoled. 1t was a day
of hard drinking in Butte; the Clark men
for the purpose of celebrating the victory
and the other side for the purpose of
drowning their SORROWS. Thousands of
people thronged the streets, many of
them having been attracted from the
suburbs by the noise believing that a far
greater calamity had occurred than the
election of a democratic senator.
