A few miles farther east is the Lit
tie Brush creek cave, which in some
respects exceeds In interest the ice
cave. There is the same great gorge
below, the same bold face OF limestone

tional interest here, as the beautiful
mountain stream dashes recklessiy into
the cave to be lost in the chasms be-
low. Explorations in this cave are
difficult, owing to the water, which
makes il almost impossible to crawl
among the debris that has accumu-
lated for ages. Two hundred feet from

HARM
On the night of Feb. % the natives
started four or five fires, and at about
IL p. m. we were called out, as they had
started a conhagration at Tondo That
is the district where Company C is quar-
tered, and the bamboo shacks came right
up to the wall around the quarters. The
devils came on with the fire and came
up to the wall, but the gate was barri-
caded and they could not get in. Capt.
Robinson, with most Of the company,
came out and down to a wide street
that the insurgents would have to cross
to get into town, and that left Lieut.
Lerow and twenty men to hold the quar-
ters.. They had a hot time of 1t for a
while from the Goo-Goos and the fire.

others, was Of sheet iron and would

Robinson was wounded in the hip and a

GREAT TICKET SALE.

Demand for Reserve Seats at the
Ellis Opera Company.
From O'Clock until yesterday there
was not a single break in the line of
ticket buyers for the grand opera en-
gagement next week at the Metropou-
tan, when Mr.. Ellis brings his great or
gan1zat1on here for performances of
Faust, Carmen" and LA Boheme
Not for some years has such a large
amount Of money been paid in for amuse
ments as the manager received for
single days sale. and last evening when
the tired ticket sellers finished their Ia
bors the receipts figured up well In the
thousands, fact which the we'll mark
ed seats diagram for each evening will
easily prove, and sustaining the claim
or the local management that when st.
faul Is offered really great attraction
the public can be counted on to turn out
In sufficient numbers to assure financial
success.
Very little preference was shown for
any particular evening, a fact due TO
the popularity of the repertoire and also
that the operas are cast in such a man
ner that each night witnesses the an
pearance of several favorite artists and
a grand ensemble worthy of any opera
mouse In America. There are still choice
seats left for each performance. and
such are the excellent ARRANGEMENTS Of
the Metropolitan that no seats can ba
called poor ones. The company will ar
rive at noon Sunday on a special train
over the Chicago & Northwestern rail
road.

ANCIENT ROME PORTRAYED

Father MOynihan Gives an Enter
tanning Lecture at Cretin Hall.
Father Moynihan gave a very interest
ing lecture last night. illustrated with a
stereoptican, at Cretin hall, on the SUBJ
ject, Ancient Rome and the Romans"
The hall was crowded to its fullest capac-
ity. and the fact that the speaker had
visited the places Of which he spoke ad-
ded not a little to the interest.
1.-THE people of ancient Rome" said the
speaker, "were pleasure-loving, but not
to a fault in their palmiest days, given
to craftsmanship, and the arts of diplo-
macy, learning, art and the sciences.
Roman civilization has embodied the
highest point to which the extinct nations
of the world attained. and has left its
imprint on every people since their time.
Even now. hundreds of years after the
decline of the once great Roman empire,
the ancient city is still the Mecca of those
who follows the finer arts
Roman society followed caste sys-
tenn, the lower classes living in misery
and poverty, while the patricians and
mobiles lived in a state of magnificence
upequalled in the history of the world.
Yet in the Roman code. we have still the
foundation of our judicial system, and the
sculptures of that period are still the
envy of every artist"
In speaking of modern Rome, the lee
turer gave very graphic description Of
the magn1ficence of the imposing ruins
OF the ancient empire. speaking of the
Claudian acqueduct, pictures of the rnins
OF which were given, as structure
unequaHed in the annals Of engineering.
Interspersed in his descriptions Of the
pictures flashed upon the canvas were
many interesting personal observations
and anecdotes.

That's What Mile. de Lussan Think

That's What Mile. de Lussan Thinks
of Her FavOrite Character.
Mile. de Lussan. while on tour with the
Ellis company, spends most of her time
reading and studying.
L don't mean studying the technical
part in the performance" she FASTENED
to explain, mot practicing my songs, but

should be played" 1t was only Monday
morning, while / was studying In that
way, that 1t struck me If we finished our
duet in the second act pianissimo 1t
would be an artistic, effect. 1 went to
Bensaude and told him about my Idea.
We have played together for years and
he readily understood. In the perform
ance we did it, and the audience ap-
proved NTH much handclapping, so we
shall always do it So
In answer to a question as to her own
conception of the character of Carmen
the singer answered characteristically:
She is a bad lot. Of course she must
have had peculiar magnetism to do
what she did with men, but she was a
wicked little devil, nevertheless To make
her endurable one has to put a certain
idealism In ones conception of her If
one makes her winning, attractive and
pretty people will be willing to forgive
her much. An ugly person who did what
she does would not be stood for minute,
but give her a little beauty and the world
is willing to condone."
Artistic in her temperament in every
direction, Mile. de Lussan has also the
enviable corollary-a deep interest in hu-
man nature. Every dirty little child In
the street, every homeless dog, comes in
for a share of her attention.

President j, ]. Hill. of the Great North
ern. has returned from his business trip
to New York and the East. He was ac-
companied home by Mr.. Gaspar Farrar, a
London finaneier, who is interested with
him in number of business projects.
Mr.. Hill was seen yesterday by re-
porter for The Clio b e.. and asked
whether the report, coming from Duluth,
that he had purchased the. Minnesota Car
&C mpany's plant. and intended operating
it In the interests Of the Great Northern,
was true.
Il have not purchased such a plant"
said Mr.. Hill. II am not at all familiar
With the Institution, and do not know
that the Great Northern has any use
for it,
In referring to the action of the city
in doing away with the difficulties that
have blocked the building of the Como
shops Mr.. Hill said:
This action of the council was just
In the nick of time. for had the mat
ter not been settled on my return home
1 should have withdrawn from the field.
and located the shops elsewhere. The
matter had been delayed so long that
we had practically made up our minds
to give up the idea Of locating the shops
here.
1T came to my knowledge today that
the action of the council Is to be in
vestigated. What the basis for such an
investigation can be 1 have not the re-
hottest idea. If the grand jury is Of the
opinion that the city is to be injured In
any way. and the council desires it, the
agreement that has been entered into
will be returned at once. We have asked
nothing from the scouncil but that we
be protected We could not well expend
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars in the
project unless we had such protection.
L cannot understand any such action on
the part of the grand jury, and do not
care great deal about It, for the whole
matter can easily be settled by the re-
turn of the agreement. and we will with
draw from the field. We have never
asked anything from the city but that
which was for, the city's gooI and which
would be benefit to the city. just as the
location Of these shops would be, for
their location here would benefit the city
and not us. It is a matter of no moment
to US whether the shops are located
here" ~
Mr.. Hill said that it was the intention
to push work on the new Great Northern
elevator at Superior as fast as possible
and that 1T would probably be finished
and working in time to handle the fall
crop of wheat
