extreme, bringing tears to many eyes.
Mrs Ignatius Donnelly was the SOLO

Largest Plant in the World.

1t is not he earth but the sea that has
produced the largest plant in the world.
That distinction is held by a gigantic sea-
weed. known as the 'nereocytis,' which
frequently grows to the height of more
than 300 feet. The stem of the plant is as
strong as an ordinary rope and large
quantities of it arc dried and used as rope
by the inhabitants of the south sea isl
ands, where the curious vegetable ropes
are found. This sea weed usually grows
to a depth of from 200 to 800 feet. AS soon
as the plant takes root a spear-shaped
balloon is formed, which grows with the
stem toward the surface of the water.
This balloon frequently has a diameter of
six feet or more. 1t has, of course. an up
ward tendency and therefore keeps the
stem growing until it floats on the top
of the water This enormous weed grows
in such quantities that large meadoWlike
islands are formed. which are often so
big as to impede navigation. The ropes
made from the stems of the plant are
used for building purposes and the balloons
when dried make very serviceable vessels.

FOR THE THEATER GOERS
Gossip About Plays and Those
Who Play Them.
LlTFSNEW SHENANDOAH"
Big Production Will Be at Butte This
Seasonal Story OF Ellie Fay-"A
Lady OF Quality" Booked for
the Grand Next Month.

The greatest theatrical event, from
the standpoint of a big production,
that will be seen in Butte this season,
will be Jacob Lifts presentation of
Bronson Howard's war drama, "Shen-
andoah," at the Grand about the mid
die of January. Mr.. Lifts revival of
the great play is said to be on a scale
never dreamed of before, and all prev
ious presentations of it pale into in
significance when compared with it.
1t was in 1889, almost a decade ago,
that Shenandoah" was first produced.
Now, history is repeating itself after
fashion not commonly observed in
these tickle days, when the public
squeezes the juice out of a new play
in a hurry and then filings it away with
contemptuous disdain. To have gained
a new lease of life at this remote day.
after long ago enriching dozen men,
Is a record not uncommon in theatrical
history. Once shelved it is exceeding
~. difficult to restore a play to circu-
lation, and while Shenandoah: was re-
vived in spectacular style several years
ago, the rule held good in a manner
not at all pleasing to the managers,
while Bronson Howard, the author is
said to have concluded that his play
was indeed a back number, not likely
to yield any additional profit.
Yet the times change, and we change
with them. The war against Spain en-
gendered a new spirit, and the old, IA
miliar glories of Shenandoah seemed
TO be precisely what the people wanted
to place them in touch with the mill
tary spirit that prevails. An idea of
the magnitude of this enterprise may
be gained from the announcement that
over 200 people and so horses are en-
ployed in the production. The spec
tacular features have been improved
and enlarged upon to such a degree
that the play, as now presented, is
more of a grand military spectacle
than a simple yet beautiful story of
love and war. The series of battle pic
lures have never been equaled, and
countless, wonderful electrical and me-
cahanical devices are brought into play
to make the signals and other codes of
war an exact duplication of those used
in the regular army at the battle of
Cedar creek, when Sheridan issued his
famous command to the retreating
Union boys to turn the other way"
Altogether it is the most magnificent,
as we'll as the most stirring picture
of mimic war ever seen on any stage.
The author has realized all the posi-
bilities of a beautiful love story
is such a perfect blending of the
two that the spectator forgets the
fierceness of battle in the tenderness of
the love passages. 1t has always been
considered perfect example of dra-

The services at st. Patrick's church
yesterday morning were unusually
beautiful and impressive. The church
was decorated with evergreens and
flowers: festoons of arbor-vitae reached
from pillar to pillar and hung in grace
full curves from the chandeliers. The. all
tar was banked with carnations, roses
and lilies, while the numerous lignted
candles and incandescent lamps, SYM

st. Patricl<'s has the largest seating
capacity of any church in the city and
at II o'clock it was filed to overflow
ing, not single seat being vacant,
the aisles and every nook and corner
being crowded with people. Men of
leisure, women Of fashion; others with
scared faces and toil-worn hands, for
this day, if for no other, laid aside
their workday clothes and follies and
assembled to hear again the old, old
story of the coming Of the Infant
Savior and the dawn of Christianity.
In the Roman Catholic church music
occupies a conspicuous and important
place in the ritual, and especially in
those commemorating the birth of
Christ, and upon this Christmas day
the music furnished by the choir was
worthy of particular mention. One of
the most pleasing features was the
perfect rendering of the soprano solos

Filipino Soldiers Reappear In Cayite.

Filipino Soldiers Reappear In cayite.
Manila, Aug. 10, via Hong Kong,
Aug. 22.-The Filipino rebels appear
to retain much more OF a fighting
spirit than might be expected after
their recent San Fernando experiences
and Gen. LawtOn's drubbingS in the
south.
After giving up San Fernando with
feeble struggle they entrenched
themselves at Angeles, working for
several days and impressing non-com-
0atants into the work thus saving the
armed men for the fighting. They
engaged Lieut.. Col. Smiths regiment
and the artillery warmly for four
hours, making one of the most stub.
born resistances of the campaign.
But the Americans are indebted to
the usual poor craftsmanship Of the
FilipinOS, as well as to their own
strategy for their small losses.
In the province OF Cavite, where it
was supposed the rebels had been
scattered and demOralized beyond re.
cuperation they have assembled au
army OF several thousand men dlstri.
buted among the important towns
from the lake to the bay.
After the San Fernando engagement
the rebels attempted to deter the
Americans from a further advance
nOrthward by menacing the railroad
communication. Several hundred OF
Gen. Pho Pillars men crossed the Rio
Grande between the American out.
post town and threatened Baliuag,
Quingua and other places with small
American garrisOnS, while during
Sunday and Monday nights smaller
bands tried TO tear up the railroad
tracks at several points between Bigaa
and MalolOS. ReinfOrcements of
American trsOps, however. we're sent
along the railroad from Manila to San
Fernando while the forces at Baliuag
and Qlingua sailed out against Gen.
Pilar's men and the rebels were easily
driven away.
In brushes between the Filipinos
and the Americans during three days
the Americans lost several men, while
the tjlipinoS' loss was heavy.
