THE MlDGET'S"
Held Forth TO a Very Large Audi
cncc Last Night.
FINE SPECTACULAR EFFECTS
Enhanced the Beauty Of the Juvcn.
lies Perrormance-Thc Singing and
Fancy Dances lTerc Also Features.
Matinee and Evening Performances
will be Given To-day--.A Successful
Affair.

Tho Opera House was packed up
stairs and down last night to witness
the initial production Of the "Mystlc
Mldgets' Lillputian Carnival Of all Ma
lions" Much has already been printed
concerning the production. but with all
that was promised every item was car
ried out to its fullest effect and that
much to the qualification OF the audi
ence.
The entertainment Is made up Of q
spectacular production OF fairy tales,
familiar to us all, and told In verse by
about three score OF the brightest and
prettcst youngsters ever appearing be-
fore the footlishts The cast is made
up OF home talent and that the little
people acquitted themselves in man
ncr most creditable may be attested to
by the hundreds who saw last nights
performance.
The play opens OIL 1.-THE Isle Of glow
ers' and special stage settings, added
to the picturesque costumes of the
little ones. make the scene an animated
one. and one which will linger IN the
minds Of all who see 1t. The chorus OF
the fairies Is given here, and this il fol-
lowed BY the grand entree of the queen
and wee Butterfly Guards" by little
tots Of five or six years, who execute
many marches and miruetS In a fam
tastic manner. Then comes n general
scene IN fniryland In which the Mystic
Midgets, made up OF quaint little fell
lows. representing all nations, appear
and help along with the fun-maklng
and general entertainment. There are
all kinds OF clever specialties intro
duced among them being many that
would do credit to children OF older
years and more accustomed to the
glare of the footlights.-The march OF
nations" is q beautiful thing, and was
executed by the children last night In n
faultleSs manner.
The principal characters were all well
taken, in fact every one Of the ll.tie
ones covered themselves with glory.
The singing and dancing Of the fairies
and the choruses were all applauded
heartily and each number received and
encore, which made it rather late when
the performance was ended. As the
Prince, Master Clinton Pryor was an
entire success. while Miss Alpha Dingcr
Is the Commodore, was as much at
home as a professional with years Of
experience.
The music was fine. ard the Opera
House orchestra assisted materially in
the success Of the production. The cal
clum effects also added TO the pleasure
of the production.
This afternoon a grapI matinee Will
be given for the school children. and the
spectacle will be given for the last
time Tonight. The proceeds so TO the
building fund Of the Third Presbyterian
church. Great credit is due to those
who have charge of the affair. as the
careful drilling is due to unlimited .;me
and patience on the part OF the nstruc-
tors. Large crowds will no doubt see
to-day.s and to-nlght's performances.

Colorado Supreme Court Says Eight
hour Law Is Invalid.
LOOK FOR AN AGREEMENT
SMELTER COMPANY WILL TRY
TO RESUME WORK.
Men, However, Declare They Will
Hold Out, and Insist Upon Hav-
ing an Eight-hour Day-Furnace
Men Will Join Others In the De-
mand for Shorter Hours.

Denver, Colo, July 1.-THE supreme
court today unanimously decided that
the eight-hour law is unconstitutional.
The opinion is not yet written and will
be filed later.
The eight-hour law, which was en-
acted at the late session of the legisla-
ture, applies only to mines, shelters
and mills for the reduction of ores. The
refusal of the American Smelling & Re-
filming company to pay the same wages
for eight hours as had been paid Tor
ten and twelve hours, caused its smell
tiers to be closed on June Is, when the
new law became operative.
This company, which is known as the
smelter trust, will now endeavor TO
reach an agreement with its former en-
ployees as to wages and hours of labor
and to reopen its smelters as soon as
possible. Officers of the smeltermen S
union say that the furnacemen, who
formerly worked twelve hours day
will work but eight hours in future.

PREACHERS AND BATTLESHIFS.
His Mother Had Them Slightly
Mixed
Chicago Chronicle.)


There is a young man on board the
revenue cutter McCulloch, which was
at the battle of Manila, whose mother
has a totally erroneous idea of his
present occupation said a Chicago
travelling man who sells goods through
the southern states. This lady is one
of the incest. most motherly old souls
meet in my rounds, but she is at the
same time one of the most ignorant of
everything except how TO get up a
good meal of victuals and give a tired
drummer a comfortable bed and clean
sheets to sleep in. She has been run
ming a little tavern in a Maryland town
for forty years. i suppose, and hasn't
been five miles from home since she
was a girl. Her only son, chap of
about IS. on the contrary. has not been
within five miles of home for longer
than six months in the last twenty
years. However, he keeps her posted
as to his Whereabouts, and in all his
wanderings he does not forget her.
When last heard from he had got some
kind of a position on board the Unit
ed States revenue cutter McCulloch. the
vessel that was Dewey's dispatch boat
at Manila. and is at present doing duty
between California and the Boring sea.
About a week or ten days ago l took
dinner at her place, and a fine country
dinner it was. too. and 1 asked her
about her boy.
7" Oh she responded. with a smile
that would make ANYBODY glad to have
her for a mother. Jimmie is doing so
well now. He don't always get into the
best places. and l am afraid that some
times he gets into real bad ones, but
he is turning over new leaf, 1 guess,
for he has gone to work with
preacher He didn't mention what de-
nomination he was. but that don't make
any difference, so long as Jimmie just
works for him.
. I'm glad to hear it,. said. Who is
the preacher?
IL don't know. except that his name
is the Rev. Cutter McCulloch I'll
show YOU Jimmie's letter.
She did so. and there 1 read briefly,
as might be expected: I am now with
the Rev. Cutter McCulloch and doing
WELL and l smiled softly to myself, but
never said a word to Jimmie's
mother"

fully submitted to the secretary of war:
The references to the Spanish troops
is believed to be very much exaggerat-
ed No reports have been received thus
far that there is anything like the num-
Der indicated in the above endorsement,
while the population of that territory is
probably nearer one-half the number
stated. The number of troops already
ordered to the Philippine islands is
three times as many as Admiral Dewey
called for. The force ordered at this
time is not expected TO carry on a war
u conquer an extensive territory and
the chief object of the within letter
was to suggest means of quickly es-
tablishing strong garrison to COM
mand the harbor of Manila and to re-
lieve the United States fleet under Adj
miral Dewey with the least possible de-
lay. This, in my judgment is of pre-
eminent prominence.
The troops mentioned in the within
letter as available TO that department
number 15,425. The Tenth Pennsylvania
volunteers. ordered today. will be ap-
proximately 1000 more. These troops.
in my judgment. are all that would be
advisable to send TO the Philippine is
lands at this time. If it be deemed adj
visable to send additional regiments.
they can be sent from New Orleans or
Tampa, but the force now ordered to
be sent is. as already indicated. 10000
more than will be required for the pur-
pose.
1t is, however. in my judgment. of
the highest Importance, that orders
should be sent to displace the six high
power guns and eight twelve inch
mortars on vessels at San Francisco.
and possibly Puget Sound. with the
least possible delay, and sent TO the
harbor of Manila and mounted as
speedily as possible. 1t may be adj
visable to send additional guns. These
orders should be sent by telegraph and
the engineer and ordnance department
should be directed to expedite the work
by every possible means

THAT PocATELLo CHALLENGE
Reaches Ogden at Last-Game viii
Probably Be Played Here.
ESPECIAL Correspondencel

Ogden, July 17.-Manager Gimlin of
the baseball team today received a let
Ter from the MANAGEMENT of the Poca-
tello nine. transmitting a challenge TO
play the Ogdens for the gate receipts
and side bet of $500.
The proposition was dated July 16,
and was posted in POcatello the even
ing of that day. 1t reached Ogden this
morning, and was promptly answered
by the manager in the manner outlined
in The Herald of this date. Ogden will
put I'D the $500 TO secure a game on
neutral grounds with the same nine
1hat played in Pocatello on the two
former occasions.
As related in The Herald of today,
the first notice the Ogden nine had Of
the preparation Of such a challenge was
whey there was published a caustic
criticism of the Ogden crowd for not
replying 20 the challenge. At this time
the challenge. according TO the date
and the postmarks on the letter, was
still in P0carello. and possibly not yet
penned However, the challenge has
been received and promptly accepted
1t is now in order for the money to be
put up, and if this is done there Will be
a game worth seeing at some grounds
other than Pocatello or Ogden.

Some More Chumps.
Detroit Free Press.)


Say" remarked the drummer for a
New York house, I've seen some pref
ty good games worked and don't deny
having been the victim once in awhile,
but the other night as 1 was coming
up from Ohio on the boat with another
young man, / was made an easy mark.
We had been talking with two young
ladies we'd just met, when one spoke of
her hair being in disorder. and be-
moaned her fate. 1 suggested that she
take the key to my stateroom and use
my comb. She was delighted, and, with
her other lady companion, both girls
retired to our stateroom.
My friends and l waited patiently
for their return. and nearly an hour
passed. l was getting nervous and We
went to our stateroom door and
knocked. All we could hear was some
giggling. and we could not get an an
swer. We waited another hour, and
then another, and finally decided to get
another stateroom. We proceeded to
locate the clerk, and you can guess how
thing, even to the lounges in the par
lors, were occupied. My friend and /
felt downcast. Finally a bright idea
struck me.
What's the matter said I. with
asking for the use of the girls own
stateroom? They have ours
My friend was delighted with the
idea We went to the clerk and told
him our story, describing the girls.
Sorry, old man said he. but those
girls were unable to get a stateroom,
although they tried very hard

WILL STILL HOLD OUT.
Colorado Smelter Men Insist Upon
an Eight-hour Day.

Denver, Colo, July 7.-John r.
Wright, president of the Smeltermen' S
union, was examined at length today
regarding the conditions prevailing
among the smelter workers and the
causes of the closing of the trust smell
ter by the members of the United
States industrial commission, who are
holding sessions in this city. He de-
clared that, even though the eight-hour
law were declared to be unconstitution-
al. the men would still hold out for an
eight-hour day. He believed there was
no matter so important to laboring men
now as the eight-hour work day, re-
CARELESS of questions of wages and all
other considerations
He said that before the smelter com.
bination was enecteu, ,ne nc ~ -
had any difficulty in dealing with the
managers and obtaining any conces-
sions desired, but now it was found al
most impossible to reach those in au-
thority.
Testimony was also heard regarding
industrial conditions in the northern
Colorado coal fields.

CLEVELAND STRIKE ON AGAIN.
Men Claim Company Did Not Live
Up to Its Agreement.

Cleveland, o., July 1.-THE inaugu-
ration of a second strike by the en-
ployeeS of the big Cons Jlidated COM
pany was a surprise to the public this
morning, and also to the company. Ever
since the men returned to work three
weeks ago under an agreement pre-
pared by a committee of the city coun-
Gil and signed by representatives of the
strikers and of the company. there had
been frequent complaints on the part of
the men that the company was not liv-
ing up to the agreement. Several con-
ferenceS We're held, the latest about a
week ago. and it was then announced
everything was satisfactory. or would
be as soon as the company had been
given ample time to adjust schedules
and arrange the runs.
The presence on cars of the nom
union men, who were retained after the
settlement of the strike, was still a
bone of contention, however, and a
crisis was reached yesterday when, as
is claimed, a number of union men
were discharged for refusing to go out
on cars with non-union men. A meet
ing followed last night. and at o'clock
this morning the decision to strike was
reached. All the lines were tied up
from o'clock until after o'clock,
when the operation of the Euclid ave
nue. line with nOn-unlOn men, under
police protection, was undertaken. Cars
were run at five-minute intervals on
that line until evening, but no attempt
was made to move cars on other lines.
Henry A. Everett, president of the
company, issued a statement this even
ing, in which he says the terms of the
agreement with the strikers has been
strictly adhered to, but that it was i'm
possible to inaugurate all the reforms
promptly because of the continued in
reference with the non-union crews.
and he holds the union men directly
responsible for this. He attributes the
present strike TO a feeling of disap-
pointment on the part of the union men
because the non-union men have not
been mobbed and beaten out of the
company's service. He says that he
will operate the cars if he is given po-
lice protection. Protection has been
promised by Mayor Farley, and it is
said that the militia will be called out
if the police are unable to preserve
order.
There has been little disorder today,
but nothing of a serious nature
