MASTERED HER SORROW
Eugene Blair Plays Her Part
Though Her Heart Is Broken.
DEATH OF HER MOTHER
Announcement of the Sad Occurrence
Made to the Actress Just Before Per-
formance-She Bravely Goes On
With Her Work

Henri Gressitt who is directing the
tour of "A Lady of Quality" which
will be at the Grand next Tuesday
yesterday related one of those sad and
frequent incidents in the lives of actors
and actresses which tell of the heart
breaking sorrow often suffered by men
and women on the stage while playing
their parts with smiling faces. While
at Portland last week Miss Eugene
Blair received a telegram announcing
the death of her mother at Edgemore,
near Washington, D. c. The telegram
came late in the afternoon, and it was
the first thought of Miss Blair's man
ager that the performance could not
take place, as Miss Blair was COM
pletely prostrated by the news, but
such was her will power that she mas
tered her grief, and, although she was
overcome several times in her dressing
room, and almost broke down in the
fourth act, she went through with her
trying part remarkably well.
She had but the day before received
a letter from her mother, who was in
the best of health and spirits when it
was written, and it cheered her greatly.
The blow was therefore a most crush
ing one.
Mrs. Blair. better known to fame as
Ella Wren, had been constantly with
her daughter throughout her starring
career until this season, when she de-
cided to remain at home. Mrs. Blair
was an actress of the old school, and
a writer of note. She recently finished
a book of the drama during the civil
war for it was at that time she was
at the zenith of her career, Her stage
life has covered nearly two-score years,
and has been honorable in every way.
She wildly recalls the night when j.
Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln at Ford's
theater, and the struggle and capture
of the madman

ANNUAL REVIEW.
Yearly Statement Concerning the Wool
Market.

Yearly Statement Concerning the Wool
Market.
Boston Dec. 27-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will publish to-mor-
row it's annual review of the wool market.
1t estimates the total supply of wool in
the United States at the close of the year,
exclusive of manufacturers holdings. at
157 S19 pounds against 339, ,033, ,S53 pounds
a year ago. Of this amount Boston has
S.. .1l3,743 pounds against 136,0SS,213 pounds
a year ago. including wool in hand. Ex-
elusive of wool in bond Boston has an
available supply of Al, $4,000 pounds
against 02,010179 pounds last year. New
York's total available supply is 25,2OoOS5
pounds against 42,074, ,451 pounds last year.
Philadelphia has 21.9S1, Psi pounds against
24,3s4. 500 pounds. The total stock in the
three principal markets of the United
States is 1l3,921.959 pounds against 2O4-
1929 pounds year ago.
The sales of wool in Boston during the
year have been 346 115,776 pounds against
14l 1850 pounds in 1898. Sales in the three
principal markets of the United States
have amounted to 5l4,947,920 pounds
against So4S6.3S5 pounds last year.
The total wool clip of the country is
placed at slightly less than 1885, 900
pounds against about 200,000a00 pounds
last year. At the beginning of the year
the total available supply of the country
was about 34O, 900 pounds. Importa-
tions have been exceptionally small,
those at Boston being only about "a, 372, 341
pounds against 1929, ,04S pounds last year.
The result is that, owing to the phenom-
enally large demand for wool for con-
sumption, which has swept through all
the principal wool centers Of the country,
the total available stock on hand at the
close OIL the year has been reduced to
comparatively low point.
BY far the greater portion Of the wool
this year is now at the seaboard markets.
A year ago the supply was pretty evenly
divided between the interior and the sea-
board
strong one No relief practically has been
obtained from abroad. There is scar
city of fine woods the world over foreign
markets having been advancing by leaps
and bounds. The Australian clip, which
again shows a material reduction, has
been eagerly sought by anxious users of
wool. The London markets have stead
lily advanced and tops on the continent
have risen beyond all expectation. For
egn buyers have been so anxious to Sc
cure supplies that they have taken a large
portion of the fine Australian which has
been here in bond and the beginning of
the year 1900 will witness a very limited
supply of foreign clothing woods here to
draw upon.
While the present demand for wool is
not as pronounced as it was few months
ago, great expectations are entertained
regarding the heavyweight sesason, which
is now about to open Stocks on hand
! are not excessive.

BUTTE News.
NELSON NOT 4 FIGHTER
He Declines to Take Up Arms in
the Boer Cause.
IGNORES WlFE'S APPEAL
Butte Man Wants a Divorce From His
Boer Helpmate on the Grounds of
Desertion-Satisfied With the
United States.
IGNORES WIFE'S APPEAL

The war in South Africa is one of
the causes, if not the main one, why
Thorvald F. Nelson wants divorce
from his wife, Dorothy Nelson. Nelson
is a citizen of the United States, and
at present a resident of Butte. Several
wears ago ne went to South Africa and
there married a woman of that country.
native Boer. About a year and half
ago, according to the story told by one
of his friends, he concluded that he
had had enough of Africa. and that
the United States was good enough for
him He wanted to come back to
Butte, but his wife would not accom-
pany him, and he came alone.
Recently he received several letters
from his Boer wife, urging him to come
back and take up arms with her coun-
trymen and help them fight the Eng
lsh. Nelson, however, was not at all
anxious to go to war for the Beers or
for any one else, for that matter. and
declined his wife's urgent appeal. Even
If he We're inclined to obey her, he
could not well do it, as he figured it
out, without getting this country into
trouble, being citizen Of the United
States. AS he could not see his way
clear to go to war, and his wife would
not come to America, he concluded that
the right thing for him to do was to
sue for divorce, as protest against
the treasonable designs of his wife. and
thus prevent any possible international
entanglements
Yesterday. therefore, complaint was
filed in the district court by him, ask
ing for a divorce on the ground of de-
sertion. He alleges that he was mar
ried to the defendant at Port Eliza
beth, Cape Colony, on July 80, 1898 and
that Is months ago the defendant de-
serted him without cause, and has ever
since lived separate and apart from
him. In an affidavit with the summons
in the case he says the defendant is
still living at Port Elizabeth.

fant city. There he lived for several
years, and a few years ago returned
to Butte, where he had since engaged
in the barber business in East Broad
way.
Mr.. Murray leaves a wife and one
brother. John. in this city. He was
member of the A. Q. U. W., and this
is the only order he belonged to. For
a month or more he had been ailing in
health. and the greater part of that
time he was confined to his room. Last
Friday he came down town for a short
visit on the advice of his physician, to
get a breath of fresh air. Disease of
the kidneys was the cause of his
death.
Mr.. Murray was probably one of the
best-posted men on the affairs of the
day in this city, or in the state. He
was student of political economy as
well as of matters of state. He was
versed in the classics and could recite
Shakespeare with scholarly ease. Upon
any subject he could converse and en-
tertain his hearers In book lore he
was learned to degree seldom attained
by years of diligent application. As a
historian he had few superiors in the
country. In fact he was a walking
cyclopedia. He made for himself quite
a reputati ton as a curist, when he in
vented the medicine which he readily
sold and which it is said had the virtue
of remedying rheumatic distress.
He was very popular among his
friends of the BARRIERS union as well
as those who are not BARRIERS. The
union resolved at it's meeting yester-
day to attend the funeral in body.

.P|cKEREL BOUND OVER
He Will Stand Trial for Receiving
Stolen Property.
HIS DEFENSE WAS SLIM
Court Took No Stock in the Fishy Story
He Told Committed to Jail
in Default Of $500
Bail

John Pickerel had his preliminary
hearing before Justice Nichols yester-
day on the charge of receiving stolen
property knowing it to have been
stolen, which was brought against him
in connection with the robbery of the
residence of Kathleen Norton, which
occurred during November. PickereI
and his wife and other woman were ar
rested at the time, but were discharged
for lack of evidence Later PickereI
was found to have pawned watch
that was stolen at the time of the rob-
berry and was rearrested.
The states testimony 1t the hearing
yesterday was to the effect that Pick
erel pawned the watch belonging to
Miss Norton, giving the name of An
derson. The watch was identified by
Miss Norton and her sister, and the
paWnbroker who made a loan to Pick
erel. identified the defendant as the
person who gave the name of Ander-
son when the watch was paWned.
Pickerel had another man with him at
the time, but he did all the talking and
got the money
Pickerel put up a picturesque de-
fense, in which he denied paWning the
watch and said it had been given him
by Anderson, whom he did not know,
Lavell, whom he did not know, and
from whom he was to collect 50 for An
derson.
Judge Nichols did not take much
stock in Pickerefs story and bound him
over for trial in bonds of $500, which he
was unable to furnish, and was CONS
mitted to the Jail.

FELL THROUGH.
Proposed Salmon Cannery Combine is
All Of.

Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 27.-The pro-
posed combine of British Columbia sal
mon canneries has fallen through. Ne
gotiations had reached a point where
final papers only required the sigma
lures for the payment of the purchase
price of 81 100000. when the Gamers de-
clined the'accede to certain stipulations
of the New York capitalists interested
in the proposed combine. The Ameri
cad capitalists made the purchase con-
ditional upon their having a controlling
interest IN the stock of the combine. 45
per cent of which was to be retained
by the Gamers. Instead Of this comb-
nation, it is now proposed to form a
score of smaller combines. These pools,
while operating independently as to
management, will probably act as a
unit regarding prices and matters of
mutual interest

that one of the first things he looked
into after his arrival was the manage
ment of the Cuban prisons. Investiga-
tion has proved that even among Amer
lean prisoners there has been an ave-
rage detention of five months without
trial.s Men whom General Ludlow or
dered to be released are still held, after
three or four years waiting without
trial. General Wood thinks that when
his order goes into effect calling upon
all judicial officers and military COM
manders to send complete lists of pris-
oners awaiting trial, the congestion of
untried prisoners will be relieved within
Is days.

who was in Chicago to-day. "It will

ing the canal, regardless of the ap-
preparation made last session of
81, 900, 900 for commission to investi-
gate and report upon the most favor
able route for the canal. That appro-
priation was merely a subterfuge de-
signed to sidetrack the canal for a
year at least. and if the Hepburn bill
becomes a law it will be ignored and
the building of the canal Immediately
begun. Speaker Reed killed it last year
through the committee on rules. But
Reed is now no longer there to block
