A Mountain Falls Into The Sea.

The whole crest of a mountain over a mile
in circumference slipped into Loughborough
inlet. 100 miles from Vancouver, British Co.
lumbia, few days ago.
The great slide was the result of an earth
quake and the resulting shock of the falling
mountain top was felt for long distance. At
this part of the coast the mountains rise al
most perpendicularly from the water for 700
or 800 feet. The mountain which fell was
composed of crag which overhung the shore,
and great slice of it sheered off into the bay.
The break extended back over 500 feet
from the shore. Giant trees and rocks were
swept away as if they had been toothpicks.
Instead of crumbling as it fell, the huge mass
of rock and earth turned over and flung itself
far out into the bay, forming small tidal wave

NELL COMPANY WELL RECEIVED
Large Audience Witnesses "The Lot
terry of Love" at Sutton's.

The James Neill Comedy company
opened to large and appreciative audi
ence at SuttOn's new theater last night.
1t was typical Sunday night crowd
good natured, in receptive mood, evil
IDENTIFY anticipating and prepared to en-
JOY couple Of hours of wholesome fun.
That they were not disappointed was
evident from the hearty applause ac-
corded the players.
"A Lottery of Love" is farce comedy
full of improbable situations, but equal
ly full of fun. merriment and opportuni-
ty for clever work on the part of the
several members of the caste.
The climax at the close of the second
act convulsed the house and necess-
tated an amount of labor on the part
of the curtain raiser for which Uncle
Dick should certainly allow him extra
pay.
In a company of such uniform clever
ness 1t is difficult to select any one part
for individual mention, without feel
ing of doing injustice to the others.
Suffice it to say that If the Ntill COM
pany play their weeks engagement up
to the standard set last night, they will
fully merit continuation of the liberal
attendance which greeted their opening
performance

STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS.
Locomotive Fireman Falls in His Cab
While on Duty.

A locomotive fireman named Platner
was stricken with paralysis while on his
engine. at Stuart, few days ago and is
now being cared for in this city.
His engine was pulling a local freight
between Garrison and Butte. After the
train reached Stuart Platner fell to the
floor Of the cab as if bullet had struck
him in vital spot. .
Recognizing the fact that he needed
immediate attention, the engineer de-
tached the engine from the train and
ran it into Butte with Platner on board.
The run was a fast one.
An examination by physician showed
that Platner's sudden collapse was due
to paralysis, the result of catch" at
the upper part of the spinal column.
The man was unable to speak and
every muscle in his body appeared to be
affected.

| Gas a matter of fact, the entire back
Is trapped and is opened by pressure
| upon three springs. To guard against
| the accidental discovery Of one Of these
| springs, the back Of the trunk falls and
hand near the center, While the third il
! located out Of the way in one corner.
Unless all three are pressed at once, the
release does not operate. Each spring Is
no larger in diameter than the point of
a lead pencil, and extends but thirty
second of an inch from the surface.
when the lid is closed one man is
placed on either side of the trunk with
one OF the keys. He is asked to stand at
the side that the audience may watch
his work. The other two members of
the committee extend the line. while
am some distance away in front of the
four.
Music browns the Noise.
1.-THE attention is thus centered on the
front of the trunk, which enaL Lies the
mechanics to softly slide back stage
trap. My assistant presses. the three
springs, the back of tn trunk falls and
she drops to a trap three feet to the
rear of the platform, where it will at
tract no attention.
''The very slight noise made by the
trap closing is offset by the music Of
the band and the noise of the locking.
BY the time the trunk is unlocked again.
my assistant is in the wings ready to
walk on.
"A new trick. though hardly an illu-
sion. is to produce cage OF canary
birds from beneath my coat. The cage
is eight inches deep and six inches
across. The bottom is protected by a
rim an inch and half deep, while the
wire top is slightly domed.
This affords space for from six to
eight birds. The wire sides of the cage
are six inches long and are hinged to
the top.
THE bottom is slotted at the outer
edge. which explains the concealing rim,
and the tongues which connect the rim
with the bottom pass through tie wires
which work in pairs and form loop
at the lower edge to support the bot
tom.
The wires run freely through the
slots and fold across the bottom of the
cage, making a package only two inches
high and six inches across.
when removed from under the coat
the bottom falls by its own weight to the
end of the wire loops and the cage is
fully extended in a fraction of second.
The birds. which are not crushed in
their limited quarters. fly about at the
disturbance and add to the Effectiveness
of the trick"

FINE WEATHER IN OCTOBER.
Sunday Day When All Nature Smiled
and Residents Were Out Doors.

Butte may have had more beautiful
days than yesterday, until late in the
afternoon, but if so even the oldest in
habitant has forgotten all about it.
The day was one of those that causes
a man to forget his troubles and to re-
turn thanks that he is alive and able
to fully appreciate the beauties of ma
ture. Warm and balmy was the air
until the sun began to sink behind the
western hills, and had it not been for
the chill that then stole through the air
one could almost have imagined that a
July evening was approaching.
Hundreds of persons took advantage
of the pleasant weather to spend the
day in the mountains or in driving about
the city, and the streets We're crowded
from morning until night.

Her legs extend down these pillars.
which are irregular in shape and formed
by building across from door-post to
door-post. This opening passes unno-
ticed, the doors convincing the public
that all is open.
when the doors are shut, she pushes
back the ceiling, which runs into the
roof of the pagoda on the same prlnci-
pie that the roll top of desk pushes
back, and, drawing the ceiling down, the
pagoda appears the same as before, the
flaps at the side closing whe she moves
her legs out. She is assisted to the
stage and bows without removing her
bandage. For the encore the original
comes forward and. removing the BAN
dage, shows the audience that she is the
same.
The Eindoo Box Mystery.
1.-The second trick is merely "a variant
upon the familiar exhibition known as
the Hindoo box mystery. In the origi-
nal. the box is tied with several ropes
and then moved into a cabinet, where
the operator takes the place of the per-
son who is tied in the box.
Most persons now know that there is
a trap in the back of the box, through
which one slips out as the other enters
the ropes being used for the purpose of
gaining time in untying.
1T is to overcome this knowledge that
l have changed the form, and I call
attention to the fact that I use neither
ropes nor cabinet.
First fiat platform is laid upon the
stage and covered by rug on which
is laid a sheet of paper. On this is set
a box three feet square and commit
tee from the audience examines the box
for traps.
"A person is placed within and the
box locked with two padlocks. AS soon
as the locking is completed. it H. imme-
diately unlocked and the occupant has
disappeared While the paper proves that
there was no trap through the stage
Success Depends on It's Audacity.
THE success of the trick depends upon
its very audacity. The platform and pa
per disarm suspicion as to traps and the
presence of four men from the audience
on the stage does much to heighten the
confidence of the spectators.
''These men might examine the box for
hours without hitting upon trap, fGs
it is SO built as to stand the usual test
by sounding and measuring.

"A BARREL OF MONEY"
Play at Sutton's Family 1heater Draws
Big House.

"A Barrel Of Money" which opened
last night at SuttOn's Family theater,
was given big reception. The cast re-
ciprocated by apparently turning out
their best work, while the audience
waxed more and more enthusiastic as
the play progressed.
Love, treachery and heroism predomi-
nate in the play. though laughable bits
of nonsense and good farce were there in
plenty. Miss Jennie Kilton. as Roxana
Garrison, is pleasing young actress,
and genius as a fun creator. Harrison,
Swift makes a good villain, while the
parts of the rest of the cast were given
acceptably.
"A Barrel of Money" will be seen at
the Family theater Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday nights, with the usual mat
inee.

CRIMINALS CAN REJOICE.
Defect in Washington Law Which In
vaIidates Death Sentence.

Seattle, Wn., May 29.-The prosecuting
attorney of this county has discovered
a defect in the new law passed by the
last legislature regarding the execution
of criminals which it is believed invali-
dates it as to all persons now under
sentence of death, or who may be SEN
fenced before June IA. when the law
goes into effect. The law gives a new
lease of life to Charles Nordstrom.
whose last appeal was yesterday dis
missed in the United States supreme
court and who was to be hanged imme-
diately.
other condemned murderers in the
state will also be able to stave off exc
cution indefinitely. Some lawyers think
that under a decision of the United
States supreme court in the famous
Medley murder case in Colorado where
the same point was raised, none of the
rnurderers now under arrest and sen
fenced to death in this state can be
hanged, the court, in the case mention
ed having held that similar act pass
ed in Colorado without saving clause
was an ex post facto law There is no
saving clause in the law in question in
this state which prescribes the hanging
of murderers in the state penitentiary
after a period Of solitary confinement.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
New York Produce Exchange Stats
tics Given Out.

New York, May 29.-In his review of
the year, submitted at the annual meet
ing Of the New York Produce Exchange,
President Barrows, in discussing trade
conditions, says that special interests
on the floor have shared in the general
prosperity of the country, but that the
individual business of the exchange at
large is not in a satisfactory condition
In the export of wheat, he continued,
New York shows a loss Of four per cent
as compared with last year, Boston
gaining per cent, Philadelphia per
cent and Newport News per cent,
while Baltimore. New Orleans and Gal
weston show losses of 4 per cent, 1 per
cent and 2 per cent respectively
In corn New York shows a gain of
per cent, Philadelphia 3 per cent and
New Orleans 1 per cent, while Boston,
Baltimore, Newport News and Calves
ton show losses of 1 per cent, / per cent,
per cent and 2 per cent respectively;
thus, with the exception of Philadelphia,
which seems to have enjoyed unusual
advantages as to- rail rates, the losses
and gains have been about equal in the
aggregate of grain exports In the total
value of all exports this city shows q loss
of Ito per cent, Baltimore LII per cent
and the Virginia ports 0-69 per cent,
while Boston shows a gain Of 0.98 per
cent, Philadelphia OIL per cent, New
Orleans z.22 per cent and Galveston O-25
