"Why Smith Left Home"

"Why Smith Left Home" will be seen again at the Jefferson Theatre next Satur- day for two performances, matinee and night. The people engaged to illustrate this latest Broadhurst success are Dean Hay lyn, Edward West, Donald Harold Fred w. Cousins, May Kintzing, Gertrude Mill lington, May Thompson and Jane Elbing.
 The story is one of domestic infelicity, with newly married couple as the central figures, and troup of aunts, uncles, broth CTS, sisters and sister-in-law who persist in visiting them, as excellent causes. A grim and somewhat dictatorial cook, an old gall lant, and a German count, who makes love to Smiths" wife under the impression that she is his sister, complete the roster of the principal characters.
 The ladies of the company are well gowned, and the settings are complete.

KEEN SATISFACTION,
The London Papers Pleased With the
 Exchange of Courtesies.

London January 2S.-All the morning pa- pers comment with keen satisfaction upon the exchange of courtesies between King Edward and Emperor William, and the telegraphic correspondence between the Kaiser and Lord Salisbury and Lord Rob- erts point out that all this win bind more firmly the Anglo-American friendship.
 History is being made with lightning speed in these days" says the Daily Tele- graph, days crowded with majestic and epoch-making incidents, which can never cease to impress the imagination of the world and perhaps to affect it's fortunes.
 Throughout this rapid process of trans- forming events it is still the German En- peror's sojourn among us which most im- press the nations"

Mrs. Weeds Costly Cat.

From the London Telegraph.
 Mrs. Charles Weed of Bound Brook, N. J., is stated by a writer in the Strand Mag azine to be the owner of the most valuable cat in the world, a superb French Angora, and $5000 would not suffice to buy him. Napoleon I. is the name af this famous pet, and, being worth double his weight in gold appropriately enough Napoleon s silken coat is of the richest golden hue. The $5O0O beauty occupies luxurious apartments, which would not have disgraced the famous Emperor himself, and unlike that great soldier, this Napoleon has never felt the stings of defeat, having easily outclassed all his brothers and sisters at the many shows in which he has participated.

 Congratulations to the Emporer will be all the more deeply felt by him since he and the crown prince are absent from the country and in mourning for Englands Queen"

Modjeska.

Messrs. Wagenhals and Kemper, who per- haps during the past five years have done more than any of their rival managers for the classic drama in America, have rem dered a distinct service to the stage in this country in reviving Shakespeares great tragedy of King John," the play in which Madame Modjeska wih be seen at the Jeff ferson Theatre next Thursday night.
 This absorbing tragedy has remained in oblivon in America for more than twenty five years Its revival has been contem- plated by Wagenhals and Kemper for a long time, and when last year 1t was pro- duced In London with such signal success by Beerbohm Tree, they at once determined upon its production. At the close of last season. these managers contracted to direct the farewell tour of Modjeska, and, among the artists upon the English speaking stage today, there is not one uniquely equip ped she for the role of Constance, the dominating character of the play, and their plans were of easy execution. The great actress needed no persuasion to add the play to her already brilliant repertoire, for she had always regarded Constance as one, if not the most glorious of Shakespeares heroires. The production was immediate 1y started and every effort was made to duplicate the elaborate stage settings with which MT. Tree presented the play in Eng land. The performance now to be given by Madame Modjeska is the result and pre- vious efforts of this influential theatrical firm, and will leave no room for disap- pointment. In the supporting company which is headed by the well known artists MT. R. D. MacLean and Miss Odette Ty- Ter, are a number of prominent players such as Barry Johnstone, Mrs Henry Van denhoff Kate Hassett and Max von Nit gel. special Thursday matinee will be given with Marie Stuart as the bill Sale of seats will commence tomorrow morning

$50 feet less than a mile. The train
was hauled by one of the new COM
pound locomotives recently purchased
by the company. Recently the Great
Northern hauled a train of 40 cars,

the Northern Pacific enpoys the dis
tinction of hauling what is believed to
be the longest train on record.
A test of the hauling capacity of

Some wonderful results are shown,
but it is doubtful if any longer trains
can be hauled than at present.

TUESDAY, MAY 81, 1901.
STRIKES THAT FAILED,

There have been two or three
strikes in Montana within the past
few months and none of them have
succeeded. The strike of the machin-
lists at Anaconda failed absolutely.
The strike at the East Helena smell
ter ended on the company's terms.
The smelter employees of two of the
leading companies at Butte inquired
if all of their number would be grant
ed an eight hour day. Very naturally
the companies construed the inquiry
as a threat in case the answer was
not favorable. and they anticipated it
by closing down the shelters. Now
the employees are sorry they spoke
and will doubtless be ready to sur
render soon.
Yesterday the strike of 100000 ma
chinists was advertised to take place,
but less than 10000 seem to have any
grievance. At least that is the num-
Der who have quit work according to
the press dispatches. Again it may
be that the majority of the machinists
are in no position to strike. One who
depends upon his days labor for a
livelihood usually cannot afford to
quit work. And as there are usually
two or three men looking for every
Job, strike is rarely successful
even when the cause of the strikers is
just When their cause is unjust and
unreasonable the chances of success
are even more remote. The principal
reason for strikes this year seems to
be desire for the same pay for eight
hours work as was formerly paid for
ten hours work. There would have
been little difference of opinion had
the request been for eight hours pay
for eight hours work, but the en-
ployer naturally objects to having his
expenses increased one-ffth with no
corresponding increase in his reve-
nue..

CASE OF COL. HARRISON.

There are indications that the treat

Harrison by the war department: and

resented by Indianians. This is as it
should be.
The history of the case Of Colonel
Harrison, in brief, is as follows: He
served we'll in the south and in Cuba
and was then sent to perform duty in
Porto Rico. Suddenly, he was dis
missed from the army and ordered to
leave Porto Rico by the first steamer
He was not even given time to az
range and complete his official papers.
So summarily was he removed that
he and his friends we:e led to con.
strue the action of the war depart
ment as rejecting upon his record as
an officer. Colonel Harrison at once
went to Washington ana sought 4
cause for his removal. He obtained
little satisfaction Smarting under the
indignity heaped upon him, he appeal
ed for court of inquiry in order
that he might establish the fact that
he had performed his duties honor
ably and honestly. but even this just
concession was denied lim. Thus the
