WAS TWO COLD
FOR THE AMEER
The ATMOSPHERE OF THE GRAND
WAS TOO FRIGlD FOR
FRANK DANIELS
BUT HIS UNpERSTUDY
WENT ON WITH THE PART.
Mr. Daniels, However. Appeared to
Big Audience Last Nisht-House
Sold Out for Tonight.

1t was a cold reception for q gentle
man from so warm climate that the
Ameer of Afshanis,an received when he
arrived III Butte yesterday afternoon.
That amiabe individual appeared by
proxy in the person of Frank Daniels
the eminent comedian, at the Grand, but
the atmosphere of The theater was too
frig.d for so tropical a personage-A1r.
Daniels is fully as warm a thing as the
real Ameer ever was-and after occupy
ing the center Of the stage just Ions
enough to say that Mr.. Daniels opened
with his company at a Christmas mat
inee Mr.. Daniels declined to risk his
health longer and retired.
The audience was small considering
the attraction, as play-going people We're
evidently playing an engagement of their
own, with roast goose in the leading
role, and owing to the small attendance
and the tendency of the mercury to Sc
crete itself in the bulb of the thermom-
eter. Mr.. Daniels wanted to call il off
and return the people their money, bu,
the management induced Mr.. Daniels to
have his understudy so on in his part.
The part was accordingly played by Will
liam Corliss. Who made up 50 nearly
like Mr. Daniels and played the part of
the Ameer so we'll that not many in the
audience We're aware of the change.
In the evening the house had been
warmed up, and Mr.. Daniels was seen
at his best. The Grand has rarely if
ever held larger or more brilliant audi
ence. and Mr. Daniels funny side was
enjoyed to the utmost.
The Ameer' is not nearly the equal
of The Idols Eye in which Mr..
Daniels was last seen here. as vehicle
for provoking mirth. 1t wants in the
matter of plot and witty dialogue the
latter especially. and the only really
funny lines are spoken by Mr.. Daniels.
In fact. he hogs the piece TO greater
extent than in anything in which he has
ever appeared here.
The opera, as The Ameer' is styled
is, however, quite tuneful. Mr.. Daniels
comedy is as unctuous as ever He says
a great many clever things, and he is
surrounded by a company of capable
men and more than ordinarily pretty
and shapely women. The costumes are
bright, pretty and calculated 10 display
pretty forms to the best advantage ana
the mounting of the piece is rich to the
point OF extravaganza. AS a whole i,

SANDWICH MEN EAST LONDON

They talk between the boards all day
long for a shilling. 1t is work which
makes no demand upon them. They Slow
ly and mechanically plod along, each
following the man before him. If you
watch the sandwich man you may OBJ
serve that he looks neither to the right
nor to the left. His face expresses no
emotion of any kind he feels no interest
in anything. He is like the hermit, or
the recluse, or the Observation-Disclosures He
is dead to the world: a man without
friends. without money. without hope,
without resources without the power of
work, without strength of mind to re-
sustain him or to lead him out, has no
further concern with the world. 1t is a
moving panorama. a series of pictures
on which he looks without interest; his
own figure, which ought to be there, is
not there. NeWsboys shout their even
ing papers: the shops light up their wares
till the whole street is a fairyland Of
treasures; the well-dressed people pass
him in long procession: the carriages go
up mad down the road. To all the life
around him, to all the sights around him,
to the meaning of the show, and to the
dance of life and death that fills the
street, the sandwich man is Indifferent
He has no ambition; he has no future
to hope for. no past that he cares to re-
member: he lives only for the day,-Sir
Walter Besant in The Century.

"The World One Hundred
Years Ago Today"
1900, by r. Z. Hughes,
LOuiSNille.)

The idea of using electricity for tele-
graph purposes was uppermost in the
minds of many scientists at the close
of the century, though the history of
practical electric telegraphy did not
begin for many years later. Lo.nond, of
France, had just made an important
advance by using only one line of wire
and an alphabet of motions Prior to
this the use of as many insulated con-
ductorS as there are letters in the alpha
bet had been suggested. Each wire was
to be utilized for the transmission OF
one letter only, and the message was to
be sent by charging the proper wires
in succession and received by obSerV-
ing the movements of small pieces OF
paper marked With the letters OF the
alphabet and placed under the ends of
the wires. An interesting modification
of isis was to attach to the end OF each
wire a small light ball. which, when
charged would be attracted toward ad-
jacent bell and strike it. Lomond'S
proposition will he seen therefore to be
a great forward step. The same period
brought out the spark telegraph of
Reisar, of Don Silva and of Cavallo.
the pith ball telegraph of Ronads and
of Galvani and Volta at this time
caused fresh set of proposals in which
| voltaic electricity was to be used

The smallpox excitement took on

but so far we have been unable to learn
of a case within radius OF 100 miles.
1t was reported that all the towns and
cities of southern Kansas had enforced
a strict quarantine and that impression

learned that the stories were pure fab
rication. However, our citizens took
the necessary precaution to guard
against the disease If any exists and on
Friday night mass meeting was call.
ed for the purpose of taking any action
that was thought necessary. A letter
had been received by County Health
Officer DIR. J. L. Cushenbery. from DR..

which was read. The disease which IS
raging all over the state is pronounced
by the health officers to be Cubar itch.
some call it Cuban chicken pox. but DR..
Swan advises the local health officers to
look well to the sanitary conditions of
their respective territories to avoid
small pox developments. No action
was taken AZ the mass meeting except
to appoint committee whose duty it
is to keep informed on the cases of
diseases if any exist and report same
to the county health officer. The COM
mittee consists OF c. @. Chandler, T. l..
Lindley and E. A. Sbepardson. 1t was
reported that the meeting was called
for the purpose of enforcing q quaran.
tine but this, like numerous others, was
false. There are no small pox In Med.
icine Lodge nor near the city. The ac-
ton taken was simply to guard against
the disease If it is in the country.

to say right here that we don't ask any
man to advertise who does not consider
it paying Investment, and we don't
want him to think that little money
paid for advertising is donation be-
cause nothing is farther from the truth.
It costs more to maintain a newspap-

there is nothing that is more beneficial
to a community. But to return to the
original proposition: If the parties
who purchased the bill of goods at AL
va last week, had made their purchase
here, the profit to the merchant who
would have sold it, would have been
sufficient to pay for several years ad-
vertising. and there are numerous in
stances of the kind. The merchant
who adyertises constantly is the one
who gets the trade. The public want
to know where they can buy and what
they can buy and the newspaper is the
medium through which they can get
their information. The merchant who
