Opera Powhatan.

The Indian opera, Powhatan, to be
given by home talent the first week in
October, is being rapidly prepared foI
presentation under The sklllful direc-
tion of Mr. Baker.
The story of the opera is the capture
of the Indians by Capt John Smith
and Capt. Rolfe and their rescue from
death by the intercession of Poca-
hOntas and Laughing Star, the beau
tiful daughters of Powhatan, Indian
King of Virginia.
The first scene represents the war
riors gathered around their camp fire,
holding a council of war, when Pan
ther, the scout, comes in with his tale
of the pale faces causing great excite
ment among the braves. The next is
a love scene between Laughing Star
and Panther whichh is interrupted by
the jealous medicine man. In this
scene are some beautiful and popular
solos and choruses.
The scene changes to a deep forest
and shows Capt. John Smith and Capt.
Rolle lost in the woods. They remain
however unterrified and Capt. Smith
brags of past miraculous adventures.
While they are singing a duet the In
dians rush upon them and take them
prisoners.
The second act shows the pappooses
seated upon furs and skins and the
smallest being lulled to sleep by a song
when naughty little Indian boys rush
in with wild cries, waking her up.
The warriors now enter with their
captives and Pochantas and Laughing
Star gazing upon the prisoners lose
their hearts to the white men and re-
solve to rescue them. AS Powhatan
orders the execution, the two girls
throw themselves before the clubs and
stay the sentence.
In the third act we see them bidding
adleu to their tribe and preparing to
sail with their white lovers for their
new and distant home.
This opera is full OF bright and
catchy airs and with its lively choruses
is bound to please al lovers of light

Regarding Family Crests.

Somebody Is publishing in London a
volume entitled THE American Arm
our and Blue Book" and this has
aroused again the question Of the right
of Americans to the use of crests or
coats OF arms. 1t is said that many
Americans have adopted arms or
crests that do not belong TO them, and
that many have assumed devices in
this line which have been merely man
ufaCtured to order, and the practice is
condemned. The matter Is discussed
with great seriousness, and after read
ing sevral articles on the subject IL
struck me as a grave error on the part
of the Democrats that in seeking for
an issue they had not concluded 10
take up one side or other of the con-
troversy in the coming campaign. AS
for myself have not as yet adopted "a
coat of arms, one reason being that
when l have provided myself with a
sufficlency OF other coats of everyday
and Sunday wear and with the neces-
sary outfit of shirts, socks, etc, there
is usually no unexpended balance to
be devoted to heraldlc designs and en-
blems, to be used as "a device for the
| Wooden Indian family.
find this is the case with a good
many of my friends. Many of them
are doubtless descended from the
kings of Ireland or other princes of the
old world, and have tots of blue blood
in their veins, but they have never had
time to look into the matter, and they,
like myself, have had more need for
shekels than shields and more use for
crusts than crests. But whenever 1
feel that need a crest or coat of arms
or a princely pedigree or for that mat
ter kingly crown, and have the price,
would like to know who is going to
prevent me from having 1t. Did not
my ancestors carry shields before the
time of William the Conquerer, and
cannot l adopt one now on that ground
and have it sewed up into the bibs and
fuckers of all my little papooses? May
not wear it on my hat, have 1t en-
blazoned on my wheelbawow. my BIZ
cycle or other vehicle on the collar of
my dog, or on the dishpans and broom
handles?
queen Victoria believes that she is
descended from King David, the great
ruler of the Jews. l suppose she is
right. We are all dlstantly related to
him, and we all have just as much
right to exploit the fact as the occu-
pant of Windsor palace. A coat of
arms is just as useful upon the side of
hod as it is upon the side of car
riage. If it takes several hundred
years to make coat of arms a valu-
able possession, then we are all vast
ing valuable time by not adopting one
at once and giving it chance to age

The personality of Teddy" Roose-
Yelt in one of his most charming quail
titles. He is Rough Rider in truth
not only where his duties as a soldier
have called him, but in his mingling
with the people no man in public life
is so free Of affectatiOn or of the marks
of divinity that are supposed to hedge
about one who occupies so large a
place in the public eye. He is perhaps
one of the most democratic men before
the people, and his reception at he Ak
ron meeting shows the close place he
occupies in the hearts of the loyal and
hDerty-loving people of Ohio. And it
must be said that Teddy" is not at
ali averse to the plaudits of the pOpu-
lace, not that he seeks it at all, but
whenever it is in evidence Teddy"
wants it understood that he is doing
nothing to escape it.
He is like a boy in his demonstra-
tions to his friends, and the sight of
one of the troopers who rode with him
in Cuba was enough to stop the process
sion as it swept into Grace park. The
speakers had left their carriages at the
gates of the park, and were walking
down the beautiful asphalt boulevard
toward the speakers stand, when
Roosevelt spied one of the Rough
Riders" he had known on the island.
He rushed out of the line, grabbed the
fellow by the hand, and nearly pulled
it off and calling him by name. The
subject of Roosevelts attentions was
vlslbly ratified by the prominence it
had brought him, for he was a solemn
and demure sort of chap but the
governor ratified off his friendly chat
like the shot leaving a magizine rife,
and Insisting that the soldier call upon
him when he came east He was glad
to zee him; how were all the folks?

see the old boys again; how is Ohio

Status on the Reporter.

Perhaps no class of Industrious and
useful members of society is more gen
orally or more unjustly abused than
the newspaper reporters. Perhaps
too, no class is more frequently sought
out to grant favors, oftentimes by the
very people who are prone to berate
these important factors in the dlssem-
inatlon Of public information.
There are many people who cannot
seemingly dlsabuse their minds of the
idea that the average reporter is act
uated with a desire to do somebody an
injustice, to misrepresent or distort
facts, to concern himself unnecessarily
about other peoples business, to med
die in affairs which interested parties
are anxious should obtain no public
ity, and to make an unmitigated nuls-
ance of himself generally.
The fact of the matter is, the re-
porter, as rule doesn't pursue his
vocation on any such plan On the
contrary, he is generally sol.citiOus not
to lay himself open to such criticism.
He frequently finds himself where he
isn't wanted, but he is there not from
choice, but as a matter of duty.
his aim is not to misstate facts, but
to chronicle theme accurately, though
1t is rarely the case, let him be ever so
conscientious in writing a report of
an occurrence wherein different inter
ests are involved, that he satisfies all
the parties concerned, and it is fire.
quently the case that he pleases none.
He has often to perform service
most repungant to him, and to record
facts concerning people whose follies
or misfortunes he would rather cloak
from the public.
He Is not meddler or inqulsitor,
and The public has very imperfect
knowledge of how often he voluntar-
lily exercises the charity of silence,
even toward those who have no claim
on his merciful consideration, but on
the contrary, merit his enmity, in su-
pressing damaging facts.
His mission in the field of human
activity is a peculiar one, and not
rightly understood. .or if 1t is, not prop
erly appreciated by many of those who
are inclined to denounce him and re-
sent his efforts TO discharge his obll-
cations TO his employers and to the
great public which he serves and to
whom he is in these days indlspens-
able.-Fall River (Mass.) Globe.

A Gorgeous Gift for an Un-
hidden Guest,

Even Helen Gould is not more demo
cratic than her beautiful sisber-in-law
Mrs. George j. Gould, formerly Edith
kingdom, the actress. The old STORY
is revived to the effect that she will en-
tertain elaborately this winter in her
New York palace, which has been clos
ed since the marriage of her husbands
sister to Count Castellane.
No better illustration of Mrs.
Gould's amiabllity can be given than
an incident of her last trip through the
far west in her husbands private car.
Mr. Gould was looking over his South
western railroad properties, and in adj
dition to Mrs. Gould and his children,
he was accompanied by several rail-
road officers. and most of the journey
was made on special train. In New
Mexico however 1t was necessary to
add the Gould car to a regular passen-
scr train for few hours. This train
made irregular stops. AT a lonely sid
ing a shabbily dressed woman and a
lanky little old fashioned girl of Z or
5 boarded by mistake the car in which
Mrs. Gould and her children were, and
the blunder was not discovered by the
train hands.
The woman gasped with astonish-
ment at the elegance of her surround
ngs, and the little girl timidly shrank
into her sunbonnet.
81 guess this must be one of them
narlor cars?' said the woman to one
of the Gould maids.
Before the servant could reply, Mrs.
Gould sat down beside the pair and
asked whether She could not get some
thing to eat or drink for Them
Thank you kindly, num-" said the
woman" but we eat just before leavin'
hum. But that was before sunrise"
Mrs. Gould beckoned to the maid,
and in few minutes a table was
spread with a light luncheon.
I'VE are just having luncheon?
Won't you take a bite?"
Over the meal the woman told her
story. She was going to Las Vegas
to attend the marriage of her eldest
daughter to a young stockman. She
had not seen a railroad train since
leaving the east dozen years before.
She lacked only one thing to make her
perfectly happy. She was too poor to
buy her daughter a suitable present.
what did you want to buy her?"
asked Mrs. Gould.
l had set my heart on a brooch"
Mrs. Gould left the table and went
to a jewel case in the safe and brought
out a handsome Oriental brooch from
the worlds fair-a gorgeous piece of
enamel work fringed with stones and
made of gold
Would lnis do?" she asked, smiling.
The woman almost cried for pleas
ure.
But can you spare it?" she inquired
1T must be worth five or six dollars"
Mrs. Gould reassurred her on that
point and the luncheon was resumed.
When the train reached Las Vegas it
is difficult to tell who was the more
a thin young woman on
the platform, whose eyes were dazzled
by a hundred dollar brooch. or the
train conductor who saw for the first
lime the passengers in the private car,
and turned pale when he thought of
the equences.-Saturday Evening

Chicago, Jan 6.-Reports of damage to

strength at Liverpool in face of &c de-
cline here yesterday started wheat strong.
May opened 3s@1ac higher at 711smTAc
and as calls had been sold very freely
around 71Rc, sellers of those privileges
took fright and in the endeavor to procure
wheat they expected to need for delivery
on calls May was bid up to 713sG711ac
Traders who had not sold cal.s were
largely in the majority, however and
came into the pit with more wheat than
the shorts could absorb. Under this ar
dent selling the opening strength quickly
evaporated and the price of May dropped
back to 7012c. Liverpool was I'D higher
and New York reported SO boatloads sold
for export. The news and conditions of a
bullish nature had little influence how
ever, and the only matters to impress the
crowd Were probabilities of Argentine and
Russian shipments on a large scale in the
near future. There was a dearth of out
side trade and about the only support the
market got in its downward course came
from holders of put privileges. May had
one or two sickly rallies from 7D1sc and
then took another plunge to Ac below it's
previous lowest point, selling at 69An

IT CAME BACK A WRECK
The Silver Bow Shield Was
Banged and Battered.
IT'S A SORRY SPECTACLE
Loaned to the Montana Exhibit at
Omaha, 1t Is Returned to the Ladies
in Ruined Condition-They
Are Indignant.

The ladies of the association which
the worlds fair the beautiful Silver
Bow shield symbolical of this county
and its Industries and which was so
much admired during the Chicago
worlds exposition, are highly indignant
at the treatment they have been ac
corded by those who had charge of the
Montana exhibit at the recent trans
Mississippi exposition at Omaha. The
trouble is that the handsome shield was
loaned to be exhibited at Omaha, and
1T has come back wreck of what it
formerly was.
Last spring. when w. H Sutherlin
was getting together the exhibit of the
state which was to be shown at Omaha,
HE applied to the Butte ladies for per-
mission ito exhibit the shield. Upon
promising to see that it was returned
IN as good condition as it went away,
the permission was finally granted by
Mrs. White. president of the association
of ladies who own the shield. 1t was
accordingly packed and shipped and
few days ago the treasured piece of
art work came home, but not much as
1t went away. Battered and defaced, i
presented a sorry spectacle to the ladies
who priced it so highly.
On opening the box the shield had
been shipped in it was seen the promise
of those to whom it had been loaned
had been poorly kept. No packing had
been used, but the shield had been
placed loose in the box and in handling
IT had been tumbled about till one Of
the silver plates bearing an engraved
mining scene had become detached, one
of the Montana rubies in the center of
the Silver Bow was gone entirely and
the other was loose in the box. and the
Bitter Root flower, made of solid gold,
was broken off and was also loose in
the box. The shield itself was much
battered and furnished.
The shield was the offering of the la
dies of the Montana Worlds Fair asso-
ciathn and was made of gold. silver
and copper, produced in this county,
and was one of the finest works of art
ever turned out in this section. 1t was
so highly priced by the ladies who were
responsible for the achievement shat
they feel they have been grossly mis-
treated in the manner in which the
shield has been used.
