a letter was received from the mu-
stefan, and in the course of his letter
this is what he said:
'At the risk of differing from you I
will say that l played very badly last
Monday night; in fact, my work was
rotten and L truly expected a roast
from the critics."
Now isn't he a marvel?
The usual and common thing for pro-
fessionals, and especially musicians and
singers, to do is to complain about not
getting sufficient notice and credit, and
to write an abusive letter to the editor
or to send friend around to the man
aging editor to make a complaint
against the critic for his incompetency
and idiocy and demand his immediate
discharge.
That is the usual thing to do, but
here is a new one, revelation.
In explaining the above quoted par
agraph from the musicians letter, he
says:
There are times when, through no
apparent cause. an artist feels so de-
pressed and miserable that he is equal
~ incapable of playing up to his stand
ard or holding the attention of the au-
dience. On Monday night last I felt
about as badly as I played and knew
before my first number that my part
of the programme would be a failure.
I trust that before the season closes
! may have another opportunity of
demonstrating to the musical public
of Butte that the banjo is not limited
to the rendition of break downs and
ragtme,' and that my failure to make
the demonstration last week was due
to the artist, not the instrument"
Although the letter from which the
above is quoted was a private one, it is
such an unusual and surprising one
that the liberty is taken to thus refer
to it here. The author of it is Hyde
| Gowan, the banjoist.
The first performance of Ben Hur"
will be given at the Broadway theater
in New York next Wednesday night.
| If the accounts of the preparation for
its production are not overdraWn it
will be a remarkable one When she
curtain rises the audience will see
combined the most exalted art of the
| actor, the dramatist the composer,
the scene painter and the, costumer,
and the perfection of stage craft in
the mechanical and electrical effects,
which. in themselves, mark a new de-
parture in theatric realities. Eight
months of tireless endeavor Intelligent
ly directed and supported by unlimited
capital, may naturally be expected tc
produce great things. This will be the
expectation of the public in connection
with Ben Hur."

Go to some sections of the United
States and tell the people you had
known of runaway accident 500 feet
under ground and you would prob
ably be told in polite terms you were
a romancer worthy to rank with Jules
Verne or that you We're high class
prevaricator, but one actually occurred
in Butte Thursday and it was a run
away for your life. Grant Middle
brook thought it was a runaway for
his life while he was being snaked
through tunnel at quarter clip be-
hind a crazy mule attached to string
of ore cars. Middlebrook suffered no
more serious injury than a couple of
broken toes, but is disposed to feel
very grateful to the good genius of
the mines for his deliverance from
what might have been an awful fate.
Numerous of the mines of Butte use
mules for hauling the ore through the
long drifts to the stations. The Dla-
mond is one of them. Middlebrook is
employed at the Diamond and his
business is to drive a mule on an ore
500 level yesterday when he met with
the novel experience which he does
not care to have repeated.
The mule Middlebrook was driving
was. or is, as ornery specimen of
mulehood as ever was bred. 1t was
probably owing to this fact that some
one of Middlebrook's predecessors had
used a Burlegh drill on the beast with
the almost inevitable result that the
animal was spoiled and now, when he
is told to whoa" he is quite as apt
to redouble his exertions as to obey
the command, which accounts for
Middlebrooks wild ride for quarter
of a mile through tunnel dark as
midnight.
Middlebrook hooked onto a string of
five cars filled with ore at the breast.

ity of some former driver. For the
first part on the distance the track Is
on slight decline, and the cars ran
easy. 1t was not long before the mule
was going at a gait which Middle
brook recognized would be dangerous
if it was kept up till the train reach
ed a curve which lay ahead.
Middlebrook commenced to call to
the animal to whoa" but instead of
slackening his speed the beast increas-
ed it till he was tearing through the
tunnel at a frightful gait. Middle
brook thinking the noise of the train
prevented the mule from hearing him.
crawled over the cars to the head of
the train and shouted whoa" at the
top of his voice. But the mule did not
whoa" He kept going and kept in
creasing his speed. Visions of ter
rible wreck when he came to the curve
ran through Middlebrook's brain, but
he was powerless. All he could do was
to place himself in what would be the
best position for him when the newt
able happened.

legs drawn up under him. Middlebrook
waited for the crash, which came as
he expected when the curve was
reached. The cars left the track and
piled up in the drift, while the mule
was brought up with such a turn that
he executed double Sommersault and
landed on his back. The second car
damned up against the one on which
Middlebrook was riding, and he had
the misfortune to have one foot caught
between them and two toes of the foot
were broken. Otherwise he escaped
without a scratch, quite miraculously,
as he figures.
Probably the greatest misfortune in
connection with the runaway was that
the neck of the mule was not broken.

Miss May Rockman, the American
actress who is making a great impress
sion in England as the Countess Mirtza
in a provincial tour of THE Great
Ruby is the daughter Of DR.. Maurice
Rockman of Missoula and formerly
resident of Butte. During her residence
in Butte Miss Rockman was prominent
in society, and because of her accomp-
lishments and dramatic ability was
much in demand at social entertain
ments. She was a gifted elocutionist
and devotee of Delsarte Upon her
departure from Butte she left many
warm friends. Her ambition was the
stage, and when she left Butte she went
to New York to seek an opportunity to
test her capabilities in dramatic art. 1t
was her good fortune to be introduced
to Madame Sarah Bernhard, who was
. then playing in New York, and the
great French actress gave her encour-
agement, upon which she resolved to
make a career for herself upon the
stage. She went to Paris, and, after
period of study at the Coincide Fran
caise, was entrusted by Madame Bern
hardt with the farcical role of the
Duchess of Liverpool in "Snob," a So
cial satire by Gustave Clutches. Her
success in this part led Madame Bern
hardt to allot to her various minor
roles in La Dame aux Amelias,'
"Magda," "Lorenzaccio" and other
plays in her repertoire In these char
acters, playing, of course, in French,
Miss Rockman made her first appear
ance in England where she has won
such a great measure of fame and sue
cess, having accompanied Madame
Bernhard to London on the occasion of
her last visit to that city. When Bern
hardt's season was over Miss Rockman
remained in London to accept an en-
gagement with Sir Henry Irving to Gre
ate the part of EudoXia in Peter the
Great" She subsequently played Jes-
sica and the Princes Plombino in
Madame Sans-G Gene With Sir Henry
Irving, and during Miss Ellen Terry's
tour last spring she made marked
success both as the queen of Naples and
as Emilia in "Othello." Afterward she
headed Lnodon company for a. pro-
NlnCldl tour III Inc GredL 6uDy, IN
which she is now playing. AT present
she is playing a two weeks engagement
at Birmingham. The English critics
say Miss Rockman is quite like Bern
hardt The following from the Man
chester Evening Chronicle is a sample
of how she is received: This young
lady will get on. She is intense and
she is artistic. Tall and willowy, she
moves with sinuous grace, and every
fibre of her striking figure appears to
feel the emotion she is depicting. A
beautiful brunette, she seems idealistic
in the role of a scheming and unscrup-
ulous adventures, and yet that ap-
pearance is but the result of art, for
Miss Rockman is by no means en-
amored of the character she is at pre-
sent assuming, though she admits that
1t is brilliant part to play. She is
now looking forward to the day when
she will be asked to play character
that will give her a chance to show
her emotional abilities"

who bestowed upon her his distin-
guished patronage.


THE Visit is French play that tells
the story of man whose wife had such
mania for moving the furniture
around that no room looked the same
for two days. He was methodical in
his habits and reduced to seeking a
divorce on the ground of incompati-
bility of temperament They meet
again through a matrimonial agency
and are about to be reunited When the
woman shows again that the moving
mania is strong on her still. SO they
give up the idea of matrimony, but de-
eide to remain good friends.

answer that Madame Janauschek made
