A MISERABLE PLAY,
scores OF People Leave the House at the
Presentation of "VYidow Wtrplcs.,


Presentation of "tyidow Wirplcs"
Miss st. George Hussey has many ad-
mlfers in Butte among the many
theater-goers who have seen her often
IN ner famous Irish characters. A
number of them were at the Grand
last night to see her in her new play,
The Widow Wiggles," in which she is
starring, and if she will take the rath-
er indicate hint they gave her when
numbers of them left the house be-
fore the performance was half over,
she will Immediately change her play,
II not abandon her starring ambition.
Such meritless play as The Widow
Wtggles" has not been seen at the
Grand opera house in years. 1t is alb
solutely devoid of any quality that
could make it successful even by the
best of actors. There are not half a
dozen bright lines in the whole play,
and it did not produce laugh through
out the whole performance, and the
people who have seen Miss Hussey in
the casts OF supporting companies were
disappointed with her part last night.
The spectacle of seeing people leave.
the opera house in droves during the
course of performance is strange in
Butte, but 1t was witnessed last night.
II Miss Hussey had a good supporting
company it might have helped out a
very poor play, but in that, too, there
was remarkable weakness. One can
only have the kindest regard for Miss
Hussey. and 1t is her misfortune that
she has such a poor play in which to
display her talents.
During the course of the perform
ance several clever specialties were in
troduced, but there were not enough Of
them to liven up the play or redeem it.
It was stated In behalf of Miss Hus-
sey after the performance that she had
been i'll for several days, in conse-
quence of which the play was not
properly rehearsed, and she herself rec
ognized the imperfections of the per-
Torrance. but the play had been adj
vertised and she was anxious to give
it for that reason. 1t will not be re-
peated tonight, however, and in place
Of it the play in which she appeared
all last season, Mrs. B. Onslaught
Messy" will be given.

New York. Nov. 2.--The oystermen of

an attempt was made last spring, but the
movement proved unsuccessful. The
present movement is said to deal with

ward drop of prices. Ten years ago the
ruling price for oysters Of the first quail
fty was 70 cents to 81 a bushel. Export
oysters were then in demand at s. to IS
a barrel. Now the price paid for market
able oysters is only 30 to so cents bushel
and 50 barrel is the top notch for those
shipped to Europe. One reason which
is given for this decline is that the mid
dlemen are making the money. These
middlemen buy the seed which develops
from oyster spawn deposited on the SUBJ
merged lands of the seed men along the
Long Island sound shores and, taking
1t to the Narragansett bay, New York
and New Jersey, they replant the seed

Rarely do we have the opportunity of
hearing the best musical organizations in
this great Northwest but whenever a

our most appreciative people. Such a
company is the famous Schubert SYM

these parts.

written for them) will make a rise in the
matrimonial market anywhere This is
one of their most fetching encores; and
as the ladies are many years removed
from being old maids themselves, they can
enjoy singing of the trials besetting the
four maidens of their song.

DEWEY IS DEAD
Only Dog Bearing the Name of the
Illustrious Admiral

Dewey is dead.
He led brave and checkered life, but af-
ter several months of hard service finally
succumbed to distemper and the body now
lies in state at the undertaking establish
ment of Miller & Co.
News of the death was at first withheld
from reporters for fear that the information
might lead to disastrous results in connec-
ton with the Schley celebration.
The body of Dewey, which lies in state at
the morgue, was ushered into this world
about nine months ago. He was from fine
family, his mother belonging to a famous
little of terriers known Throughout Birming-
ham. At an early age Dewey was adopted
by Mr.. Miller of the proprietors of
the undertaking establishment, and up to
last week led a peaceful life surrounded by
collins
He was. brave dog, and in many a fight
came on victorious. On one occasion only
did he come home with his tail glued be-
tween his legs bespeaking defeat in the
strongest terms.
On last week Dewey was stricken with
distemper and all heroic efforts on the part
of DR.. Gibson to save the young canine life
proved unsuccessful.

more gaze on the placid face of the Depart

waited for their kinsman. but as he still
failed to come they went ito the Metropoli

Austin. They are en- route to some little
town, the name of which could not be as
certained last night. Chief Austin sue
ceeded in securing them lodging at the
Mercy Home and he will likely provide
them with transportation today. The wo-
men are in a serious predicament and being
in a strange city are ait loss as to what
ito do. Chief Austin has taken the case I'M

His Probable Successor.

DR.. G. c. Kelley. pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal church, has been
notified that at the expiration of his term
in tlnis city, which will occur in few
weeks, he will assume the pastorship of
the Tulip Street church in Nashville
THIS assignment was made at Columbia,
Tenn, While the conference was in session
few days ago, and Dr. Kelley was Off
cialy notified of the appointment yester-
Gay.
The appointment of a successor to DR..
Kelley is a subject of much discussion
among churon-goers OF this city. Though
there is yet no certainty as to who will
occupy the important position, it is be-
lieved by some that the assignment will
fall to Dr. ]. P. McFerrin, of Louisville,
Ky.
Dr. McFerrin is enc of the most promi-
nent ministers in Kentucky He is an eo-
is said tht his assignment TO the First
Methodist church would meet the approba-
ton of everybody.
Dr. Kelley, WHO mas won distinction in
Birmingham, assumes am important charge
in accepting the pastorsaip of he Tulip
Street church of Nashville. This is proc
ably the most important charge in the city
of Nashville.
The efforts OF DIR. Kelley in this city
nave proven very successful, and it is with
regret his congregation gives him up. He
will probably not leave ,ine city until after

LOCATION OF PIPE
PLANT HELD UP
Lay of the Land at North Bir-
mingham Unsatisfactory
NOT ENOUGH FRONTAGE
Land Company Given Until 8 O'clock
This Afternoon to Straighten Out
the Matter Much ofMaterial
for the Plant Ordered

There is a slight hitch in the negotiations
between the Dimmiek Pipe company and
the North Birmin gllam Land company over
the location of the plant at North Birming-
ham, and it is barely possible that some
other location may be selected.
While the matter of location had been
practically settled a misunderstanding has
arisen over the lay of the land, which will
in all probability be amicably adjusted.
1t seems that in the original agreement
the pipe company purchased twenty acres
of land with a frontage of 1000 feet on
Stouts road. In the survey, just COM
pleted, it is claimed that the frontage is
only about 700 feet. with the difference made
up in depth which is not satisfactory ITO the
Dimmick people.
A meeting of the directors of the Pipe
company was held yesterday morning in
the office of THE company in First avenue
to take action regarding the matter After
discussing the situation it was decided to
give the land company until O'Clock this
afternoon to comply with the original I'M
derstanding. A letter was accordingly ad-
dressed to President Cullom, of the land
company, in which it was stated that if
the matter was not adjusted within the
specified time that negotiations would be re-
opened with Bessemer and the other
places.
President Dimmick, of the Pipe company,
was seen yesterday afternoon, and stated
that the survey submitted by the Land
company was unsatisfactory because OF
the shape of the plot of ground. He also
stated that it would be entirely satisfactory
if the land was taken off the rear of the
plot and the frontage made good.
Mr.. Dimmick further stated that he had
already placed contracts for much of the
material to be used in constructing the
plant, and that work would be rushed as
soon as the alton was definitely decided.
President Culom of the North Birntng-
ham Land company was seen and stated
that negotiations had been closed several
days ago, but that the matter complained
of by the pipe company would be given
consideration and would in all probability
be amicably adjusted.
