AN ARTISTIC TRIUMPH.
Neiil Company Closes Its Butte Engage
ment With Splendid Performance.


ment With a Splendid Performance.
The Neill company closed it's engage
ment at the Grand last night with one
of the very best performances of the
week. The play was Lady Winder-
| mere's Fam and served to bring for
ward the talent in the company that
had not in other plays the agreeable
parts or opportunities that are given
them in Lady Windermere's Fam"
Particular reference is made to Benja-
min Howard and Miss Grace May Lam
kin. who played the parts of Lord and
Lady Wtndermere, respectively. Both
roles were exceptionally we'll played, in
fact the work of Mr. Howard and Miss
Lamkin in last nights play was among
the best seen during the engagement.
Mr.. Howard was especially good, and
the varied character of the parts he
has played during the company's stay
at the Grand shows him to be most
capable and talented actor.
The other characters in Lady Win
dermere's Fan were of course also
cleverly interpreted, for the company
contains none hut splendid players.
Miss Chapman, a delightful actress i'll
any part for which she may be cast,
played the part of Mrs. Frylune, the
erring woman of the world, and it is
needless to say that it was a faultless
portraiture. Miss Lillian Andrews as
the Duchess of Berwick was also at
her best, and Mr., Neill in the part of
Lord Darlington was all that the char
acter called for. Frank McVicars and
pretty Julia Dean Were the other play
ers in the cast entitled to particular
mention.
At matinee yesterday afternoon "A
Bachelors Romance" the beautiful
comedy drama by Martha Morton,
which was played by the company last
week, was given before an audience
that packed the Grand opera house to
the doors. T=
The Neill engagement has been an
artistic triumph, and has served to in
troduce to the people of Butte James
Neill, an actor who already occupies
an enviable position in his profession:
who will at some not far distant day
stand very near its head, and of whom
his admirers will always speak with
pride. He has made many of them
during his brief engagement in Butte
by the excellent production Of roper
toire of sterling, wholesome plays, and
their wish and hope is that he will
visit Butte again Soon and often with
as good plays and as good a company
Of players as those who make up his
present excellent organization.

LIVELY TIMES.
Officers Have Their Hands Full With a
Couple of Drunken Men.


Acting Sergeant OF Police Tom Walsh
and Officer Elderkin had lively time at
tempting to effect an arrest last night.
A woman who has been living as the mis-
tress of Tom Seaton, a bartender in the
tenderlon district, called at the police
station and asked to have Seaton ar
rested She said she had been trying for
some time to get away from him. but he
threatened her life and she was afraid
he would do something desperate. He
was drunk again, she said and she was
afraid of him. Officer Walsh went to the
woman's house with her. and as he en-
tered the door, Seaton who was within.
struck him. Then followed the liveliest
kind of fight, in which Seaton was pref
ty badly disfgured before he submitted
to arrest. He landed in Jail. however
Officer Elderkin came upon a man
named John Thompson in the street who
was drunk and abusing everyone he met
The officer placed him under arrest to
which he objected and showed fight He
was so husky that the officer found it
necessary to knock him down with his
club three or four times in order to ac-
complish his purpose.

tax levy for certain sewer districts.
This was mad a special order for a
meeting held a couple of weeks ago,
but owing to the failure of a sufficient
number of aldermen being present to
constitute a quorum. the matter was
laid over until to-night's meeting, and
ID will take precedence over all other
matters. The reason for making the
tax levy a special order OF business is
so that people owning property abut-
ting the districts nay pay their
at once, without the addition of
interest which is accruing upon the
warrants. The council will also nave
its usual number OF monthly reports
from city officers. n the usual month
