Regardless Of the very dlsagreeable
weather last night there was q large
audience at the Grand opera house to
witness the production of 1.-TWO Little
Migrants" and it was plain that none
were disappointed. Not since the days
of the 1.-TWO Orphans" has there been
a play which so appeals to human SYM
pathies as does the 1.-TWO Little Va
grants" 1t is replete with situations
which arouses the dormant feelings of
the inner man and causes him to reflect
upon his own past conduct, and con-
slider whether his life has been exam
plary or not.
The piece deals in the main with the
life of two unrelated boys who were
cast aside by their parents when quite
young. They fell into the hands of
gypsies who subjected them to the
hardest and most brutal treatment i'm
aginable The father of one of the
boys, after several years, repents Of his
actions and endeavors to win back the
affections of his wife, with whom he
has become estranged. She will not
listen to him until he returns her son.
This he endeaVors to do, but by trick
on the part of the gypsies he is duped
and given the wrong boy. This Is later
discovered, and the fathers search is
begun anew The real son has in the
meantime run away from the gypsies,
and hunted up his former boy friend
They are united, and by the efforts of
the real son, husband and wife are
once more reunited. Last night when
the son described what he remembered
of home before being given away and
convinced the mother that he was her
long lost boy, there was scarcely dry
eye in the big audience. The company
is an excellent one. and the scenic eff
fects as fine as any at the Grand this
season. James e. Bainn a well known
New Haven boy, is member of the
company.

Nothing has been learned regarding
the rurnor of Colonel Baden-Powen's

show how long the general advance to-

In the absence of exciting develop

upon the superseding of General Gata-

the personality of the new commanders,
and in suppositions as to who will be
the next general sent home.
The Boer announcement of the reoc-
cupation of Smithfield, in the southern
part of the Free State, by the burghers
is not regarded as important news, as
the small British force at that place
withdrew after the Reddersburg affair.

CAUSE OF THE BoER ACTIVITY.

Presidents Kruger and Steyn Obliged
to Keep Their Men Busy.
Bloemfontein, Wednesday, April IL
According to information received here,
the Boer activity eastward of the rail-
road and in proximity to the Free State
border is largely due to the fact that
Presidents Kruger and Steyn have
found that they are unable to keep their
forces together in inactivity, the burgh-
ers declaring they are unwilling to rt-
main with their commands unless ac-
lively employed, as they ae convinced
that the British game is waiting
game. 1t is believed that the Boer
movement was originally designed to
oblige Lord Roberts to weaken his force
at Bloemfontein in order to protect the
railroad when the Beers would have at
tempted to recapture the capital. But
the latter are evidently ignorant of the
enormous forces which Lord Roberts
has at his disposal.
Advices from karee Siding say the
Beers are busily intrenching their posi-
ton east of Brandfort running parallel
with the railroad while still strongly
holding the Waterfall Drift waterWorks.

THOSE MINERAL LEASES.
Men Behind the Curtis Amendment
Can Spend Millions for 1t. !.


So far as the Indian Territory
is concerned, there is little news
from Washington this week. The
entire week has been spent or
matters of great Importance to the
general government, but con-
cerning our own locality in a
very general way. The Indian
committee of the house has not re-
ported on the treaties with the
amendments made by Mr.. Curtis,
and probably will not till next
week. When the bill comes from
the committe there will be some
chance of forecasting what will
happen ltan one Of several courses
is taken. 1t is gratifying, how
ever, to state that the discussion
that has followed the publication
of the treaties and the amend
ments has had a good effect at
Washington and there is good
hope that at least part OF the
more Objectionable features of'the
amendments will be omitted when
the treaties are returned to the
house for action. OF course,
part of the amendments submitted
were within the nature OF scare,
but there is no doubt that there is
great interests involved in some Of
the amendments, and there will
be hard fight to keep some ofthe
measures intact. The men who
are looking after the mineral
rights can we'll afford to spend
vast sums to secure the properties
and hard fight will be made TO
do 80. The more the sentiments
of the Indians is secured, however,
the more certain it is that if the
treaties are loaded with these
features when returned here the
more certain it is they will fail of
ratification.-Phoenix.

LONG DISTANCE MOVING.
A Common 9yhins to Move Household
Goods a HIzdred or > Thousand
Miles, or More

Every year there Is in the United
States more and more long distance
moving Of household effects, from ona
city or one part of the country to an
Other. Such moving has increased ten
fold in the past hfif a dozen years.
There isn't day in the year when
the larger storage and van companies
here in New York would net have onS
or two shipments OF this sort OF house
hold goods corning in from, or going
to. places so or 100 or 1000 or more
miles distant. Of course there has
always been more or less OF such mov'
ing. Some Of the increase in it Is
due to the increase in population; but
much The greater part Of it is due
to modern multiplied means OF easy
communication and to the systematic
ing of modern moving methods. So
far as the actual moving is concerned,
that need rot be any annoyance to the
mover in these modern times. II he
does not want to bother about 1t him
self he has only to put the key OF

that does this sort of business, and 1t
will literally do the rest, down to and
Including the taking up of the car
pets, attending TO absolutely every
thing, and packing and shipping these
goods and delivering them in Kam-
schatita or anywhere else in the world,
putting them into his house there i
he so desires, without calling for any
exertion whatever on the part OF the
owner except to pay the bill.
Various reasons lead people to this
sort of moving, business reasons being
the most common. A man may have
business interests that viii take him
from here to Chicago for a year or ten
years, or permanently There are
dozen or twenty or more passenger
trains daily between here and Chica-
90, and as far as distance is con-
cefned the thousand miles is to the
traveller practically nothing; it is a
days journey. The same idea holds
with regard to the movement Of goods.
