ADJUSTMENTS.

Fra Diavolo" was the bill at the
Grand last night. with Sylvan Lang
lois in the title role and Fannie Myers
as Zerlina. Mr.. Langlois was not par
ticularly well suited with his role. and
his indistinct enunciation detracted
very much from it's effectiveness. He
also makes more effort than is pleasant
to witness in the production of his
tones. Miss Myers acted well as Ter
lima, although the part is not an ex-
acting one. Dan Young and Stanley
Felch, as the two ruffians, were i'm
mensely popular with the audience, Mr..
Fetch, particularly, being q great ia
vorite. Mr.. Broderick and Miss Far
rington contributed the light comedy
as Lord and Lady Allcash. Mr.. Davies
was q dashing and satisfactory Lo-
reno. The scene in the second act, as
played by Miss Myers and Messrs.
Langlois Fetch and Young, was just
a little broad--a trife more so than
necessary-but the sextette at the end
of the act raised an enthusiastic de-
mand for an encore.
Considering the variety given and
the price charged, it is certain that
better light opera has never been given
in Salt Lake, and the public will well
come the announcement that the Grau
company will remain at the Grand
next week. Mr.. Mulvey does well to
keep this bonanza as long as possible.
standing Room Only has been the
rule every night this week, and the
advance sale indicates the same for
the remainder.

CHINA'S CIVIL WAR.

From dispatches printed this morning
it appears that the revolution in China
is gaining strength. The rebels have
captured every province and town they
started out to take, and they have met
and defeated the imperial army in a
pitched battle.
What began as an uprising led by a
brigand, became a provincial insurree-
ton in time. and has now assumed the
serious aspect of a revolution which
threatens to engulf the whole kingdom.
Ostenslbly the objects of attack were
the missionaries and the converted
heathens. The sympathy of the Chi
nese populace was aroused in this way.
Religious prejudice was played upon
until the public mind was sufficiently

Mr.. MORRiSON'S "fAUST."
Magnificent Performance Before 8
Magnificent Audience.

NaSH1Hcent Audience.
To Mr.. Lewis Morrison the theater-
going public is indebted for an inter
probation Of Goethe's mystical and inn
mortal drama, Faust" that is as clear
and limpid as a running stream of
water. From every view point last
nights performance at the Margaret
theater was a masterpiece-long to be
cherished in the memory as an artistic
triumph. The audience was magnif-
cent in point of size and throughout
keenly appreciative. Mr.. Morrison and
his associates apparently were at the
very best The mountings and Access
series were perfect.
1t is a gloomy and forbidding story,
that of Faust" and it is rendered more
black and horrible by Mr. Morrisons
art. Any praise of his rendition of his
Mephisto is superfluous. His fame in
that character is international, a world
applauds his genius.
The Marguerite of Miss Mabel Morri-
son was an exquisitely dainty piece of
work. She went artlessly as a child
into the hopeless labyrinth OF sin, from
which death alone could release her.
Under that malign spell she appeared
to be well nigh an irresponsible being,
mere bruised flower floating on On
irresistible current of doom. The path
os the scene where her dying brother
FdelitlHe uppralu4 her was thrilling in
its intensity. Miss Morrison's enuncia-
ton at times appeared to be a tr.fle
defective. but barring this her Mar
guerite was superbly beautiful, lovable
and touching. Mr.. Edward Elsner was
an excellent Faust, and generally
speaking, the support was capital.
Mr.. Hickey's orchestra contributed
no small share to the evenings enjoy
ment, a new member, Mr. Cliff Elwell
formerly of the Iowa state band, ap-
pearng at the Margaret for the first
time, and fairly captivating everybody
1t was a very large and cultivated au-
dience that greeted Mr.. Morrison last
night, and it speaks well for the cult
waited people of Anaconda that the re-
ceipts exceeded these at Mr.. Morr,son's
Butte performance

nouncement both locally and editorial
ly and elaborated on it from day to day.
Sinse election day nothing has ao-
peared in the columns of the Miner rel
ative to this seven story gold brick.
1t might be possible to revive this story
for the present campaign. There is
still two weeks to election day. The
shacks could be ordered torn down to
make room for the great gold brick.
In fact, a few days before election the
tearing down of one or two of the
shacks might be begun. They are
worthless and could be replaced after
election at cost OF only a few hun
bred dollars. Plans for the stupendous
gold brick could be placed on exhibit
ton in the Miner office. It might prove
good campaign material and wouldn't
cost much.

NEW WATER RATES.
"A New Ordinance Introduced in the
Great Falls Council,

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Great Falls, March 20.--The city council
TINS evening received a number of bids
on water main pipe from the water COM
mission. They We're sealed bids and the
council went through the form of opening
and reading them and then referring the
whole bunch back to the commission.
The commission also submitted an ordi-
nance reducing water rates to consumers
by 70 per cent, following the action taken
by the council at its last meeting One
clause giving the commission full author
ity to make special rates on water to
manufacturing plants and where not 9TH
erwise specified. met with objection from
the council and the ordinance, after its
first reading, was referred to the judi
ciary committee.
A petition from the Montana Implement
company to build an ironclad warehouse
within the fire limits was referred to the
fire committee.
The mayor declared recess of five min
utes, during which he amended the new
water rate ordinance. Aldermen Wads-
worth and Jarl objected to the English
of the amendment Jarl also thought that
the amendment was trivial in part. FL
nally single word was cut out and mo-
ton to suspend the rules was made pre-
paratory to placing the ordinance on its
final passage.
Alderman WadsWorth, IN voting no, eX
planned that while he was thoroughly in
favor of placing portion Of the expense
OF the plant upon the shoulders Of the
general taxpayer, he was opposed to con-
Quoting the water works on q hand-to-
mouth basis. He believed in so tmprov-
ing the plant that pure water would be
had through the year. AS 1t is, three
months of the year the water is muddy
and a filter was almost a necessity.
The other members voted aye and the
ordinance was placed on its final pas
sage.
Wadsworth, In voting the second time,
inquired where the city was to get the
money to erect a proper filtering plant. or
TO replace the fy-wheel which is now
cracked, OF to put new mains where Old
ones have rusted out.
Alderman Mcdonnell in voting yes SAID
that the object in getting the plant for
the city was to reduce water rates.
Wadsworth contradieted this and there
was considerable contradieting done be-
tween the chair and Aldermen Wads-
worth and Mcdonnell. After the mayor
had ordered the combatants to their seats
the ordinance was finally passed without
bioodshed. Then some routine matters
were disposed of and adjournment had
until next Monday night.

~ oVERNoR Roosevelt refused
" to interfere in the case of Mrs.
Martha Place who was executed
yesterday in the electric chair at Sing
Sing prison, N. Y. The crime of which
Mrs Place was convicted was the cruel
murder of her stepdaughter, a young
woman, whose father loved her better
than he did the prisoner. Mrs. Place
Dutchered Miss Place and attempted to
kill Mr.. Place. She had fair trial:
was found guilty. and duly sentenced to
be eiectrocuted. Then arose a great
cry through all the state. The senti-
mentalists used every endeavor to in
duce Governor Roosevelt to commute
the sentence on the ground that the
prisoner was a woman. The governor
kept his head. He appointed two phy-
sicians to examine Mrs. Place in regard
10 her sanity, and when they concurred
IN the opinion that she was sane now
and when she committed the deed he
declared that he would not Interfere
to save her wretched life. The governor
| says, in effect in the memorandum
which he has filed with the naners in
the case, that if any murderer should
die there Is no excuse for allowing Mrs,
Place to live. This, of course, throws
the whole matter back to the justifiabil-
ity of capital punishment It is the law
in New York and the governor does not
| propose to suspend it. If he committed
| the death sentence in this case he would
have to commute 1t in every other case,
He declined to take upon himself the
| responsibility for this revolution in
criminal practice.
1t was only last week that the lower
branch of the New York legislature
killed bill abolishing capital punish
ment and substituting life imprisonment
for murder in the first degree and
thirty years Imprisonment for murder
in the second degree. The advocates of
the bill argued that the enlightened
conditions of the present age looked
with disfavor on capital punishment in
| view of the belief that life imprison-
| ment is "a greater and more terrifying
| punishment than execution. 1t was con-
tended on the other hand that the meas
ure was against the settled policy and
| contrary to the wisdom of experience.
The bill was killed by vote of forty
nine ayes to seventy-two noes.

A Seven Story One.

~ PEAKING about gold bricks,
~ what is the matter with that
seven-story one which w. A.
Clark handed out to the people of Butte
last fall?
1t will be remembered that when
Clark returned to Montana last August
to try to cajole the people Of this state
into giving him the senatorship there
was much comment on the colossal
nerve of a man who had become the
wealthiest man in the West, had done
nothing whatever for the city where he
gained his riches. and yet should re-
turn and expect Butte to support him
for senator. It was the talk of the
streets that Clark had done more for
Paris, more for New York, more even
for Jerome than he had ever done for
Butte where he gained his wealth. In
fact, his possessions in the city con-
slst mostly Of frame shacks, his resi-
dence being the only slightly building
he has erected here.
So strong was the comment that in
the heat Of the campaign the Miner
one morning announced that w. A.
Clark would erect seven-storv bust
ness block in Butte that would knock
the Hennessy building all hollow. II
would be the most magnificent building
ever erected in the West. 1t was IN he
built on the south side of West Park
street, where is now the most insight
ly row of shacks in the city. In order
to give this gold brick the highest col
oring possible the Miner made the an

is e eer rsps of ee ht e1" of
nicipal affairs" says the
fButte Miner.
n That surely should be one of the is-
tfues. Every spring the Butte City
EWater company takes all the members
of the city council who will accept the
invitation, and all the officials who will
go, out to the water reservoir, where
they are wined and dined BY this
means it may be that some aldermen
may be led to overlook the occasional
shortcomings of the company, the occa-
sional rankness of the water and the
fact that the company's contract with
the city has never been fulfilled. The
company is even allowed sometimes to
pump water from the fiat.
I, Once a year and sometimes twice a
year the street railroad company gives
"a wine supper to all the members of the
city council who will attend. 1t is given
usually right after some valuable priv
slege has been granted for nothing. It
may not be that these courtesies on the
part of these two corporations have
effect on the vote of any of the alder
men, but it is not surprising that the
people grow suspicious at these times.
The Miner is apparently trying to
convey the impression that the Anacon-
da company which the Miner hates be-
cause it has done so much for the build
dng up of Butte and of Montana, and
because it is progressive enough to
mine by shafts instead of prospect
holes, may gain control of municipal
affairs. Only once in the history of
Butte has the Anaconda company asked
anything of the city council. It once
asked for a water franchise, which was
refused. The people of Butte have al
ways regretted that the franchise was
not granted, for then Butte would have
had an adequate water supply. On no
other occasion has the Anaconda COM
pany asked anything at the hands of
the council, nor is it likely to have occa-
sion to ask for anything. But not a
year passes that important concessions
are not asked by the street railroad
company and the water company. These
are the corporate influences which the
people of Butte should beware of and
guard against
Even the Miner would not venture to
charge that Mr.. ]. H. Mccarthy, known
10 every citizen of Butte, would be
controlled by the street railroad COM
pany, the water company or the Ana
conda company. 1t is because Mr.. Nc.
,Carthy Is not likely to prove a tool of
the water company and the street rail-
road company that the Miner opposes
MIR. McCarthy's election. The demo-
cratic nominees for aldermen are men
who will assist Mr.. Mccarthy in seeing
that the interests and rights of the peo-
pie are not sacrificed to the interests Of
these two corporate and hungry powers.

Warrants at Par.

~ AID the republicans of Butte in
. the pIs,for" adopted at their
convention on Saturday: I'VE
demand that no employe of the city
government be paid his wages in de-
preciated warrants"
That is just what has been accomp-
lished under the present democratic ad-
minstration. With the exception of q
few months in Muellers administration
present when the warrants of city en-
ployes sold at par. Under every re-
publican administration the city has
forced the employees of the city to dis
count their warrants at high percent
