Henry Miller in oRichard savage

Among the better offerings of the present
season at English's Opera House few Will
appeal to patrons more strongly than the
engagement Of Henry Miller in Madelaine
Lucette Ryley's latest and most brilliant
play, Richard Savage" Mr.. Miller has a
large and enthusiastic following through
out the country whose good opinion of his
acting ability was firmly cemented last
season by his strong work in 1.-THE Only
Way Richard Savage is said to be a
remarkable play in many ways on the
one hand. on account of its dramatic in
tensity and emotional strength, and on the
other for its daring and uniquely uncon-
ventional plot. Apart from this aspect.

play is laid in that particular period When

and hardship, when genius was turning
with manly scorn from the Illuminating
patronage of aristocracy and was starving

was the time of the blunt, uncompromising

the period also when the drama was strug-

ing prejudice against the theater. Whlch
until then had been so universal In Eng
land. Mrs. Ryley is said TO nave woven
this atmosphere into the fabric OF her
drama with admirable effect, giving a pic
turesque background to the stirring melo-
dramatic episodes and sparkling comedy
with which the play abounds. During the
run of the play at the New York Lyceum
Theater Henry Miller's new managers,
Messrs. Wagenhals & kemper, were given
well-deserved credit for the lavish and
artistic stage production. and particularly
for the brilliant Ompan with which they
surrounded their star. The play will be
presented at English's Opera House Satur-

ONE TO BE REMEMBERED.
Roca, Neb.

With the 4th of March, 1901, num-
ber of things and persons passed from
Washington life, the most of which,
perhaps, will not be sorely missed. But
there was one, who stepped from high po-
sition with no loud public notice, yet
leaving keen sense of loss in his de-
parture, personal and national. On that
day expired the congressional term of
Donelson Caffery, the statesman of
Louisiana; the senator with conscience,
Gulf state upholder of honest currency
through harder opposition than may
have befallen any other individual, the
immovable opponent of all corruption
and misrule, the single-minded right
seeker in everything. Some who talked
with him on the eve of his retirement,
found him brighter than he had ever
seemed before, freer Of spirit, and glad
as boy at vacation to be turning home
again. A noble mansion on the banks
of the Tech, a cane plantation which
had felt the effects of his absence, a
family who surrounded him with the
love and honor he deserved, were calling
to him as with siren voices; legal bust
ness, as large it would seem as he
chose to make it, grown upamong those
who knew his ability and integrity,
opened all the further prospect of ad-
vancement he seemed to care for.
He was sent to the senate, not by
arduous hustle and intrigue, not by
gangs of purchased delegates, not by
lobbying interests, but at once from the
body Of the people, for beneficent public
virtue he had shown in the overthrow
Of just such interests; and faithfully

your attention to a supposed error in
my article of February 7, referring to a
fragment of pipestone found at the
Roca Indian village site.
In that article he leads his readers to
wrong conclusion, or else have led
you to wrong conclusion and in either
case the matter should be cleared up.
"Pipestone" has been used as a COM
mon term for "Catlanite" so long that
they have become, by common consent,
synonymous, and 1 used the term in
that sense. In all my writings I try to
use terms that may be understood by
readers who are not specialists, without
the use of dictionary; in consequence,
students of special lines may find objec-
ton to my language, however, the
above explanation will doubtless set Mr..
Richardson right in the matter. A few
citations will substantiate the assertion
I made, that pipestone (catlanite) is
found in no other place in the world, so
far as known, except in the field of
southwestern Minnesota, extending, of
course, into Dakota at Sioux Falls, and,
in a modified form into northern Iowa,
according to @. A. White.
If we consider all stones of which
pipes are made as "pipestone" Tor pipe
stone) then Mr.. Richardson's conclusion
is true one, and sit is found in all
parts of the American continent" But
if that meaning is to be given, the words
must not be compounded, as they then
form one word having a grammatical
function of it's own. But this is a
technical point and of little importance
compared with the issue at stake.
Let me quote from the source cited by
Mr.. Richardson in forming his con-
clusion. In George Beldon's work this
statement occurs:
"The warriors pipe of the present day
is made of red clay on soap-stone, which
is found in nearly every part Of the
American continent. There are some
stones that are held in great esteem by
the Indians for making pipes. The
quarry, four miles below the falls of
Sioux river, between Dakota and the
state of Iowa, is held in high repute.
The soft red clay or soap-stOne Italics
mine on the Iowa shore of the Missouri,
and found OH the Yellow Stone Make,
also makes beautiful pipes"
This referes to red clay or soap-stone,
not catlanite, as being found in all parts
of the American continent. Catlanite
belongs to the geological group, "ar-
gellgte," which chemical analysis shows
to contain silica, alumina, magnesia,
water and other elements in small pro.
portion.
Now, with reference to Mackenzie
statement that red pipe stone is found
at Rainy lake, northern Minnesota; Sil

than quarter of century after Mac
kenzie's statement referring to Rainy
lake, so pipe stone was used by him not
to designate special geological forma-
ton but in a general way as Mr.. Rich
ardson uses it. Mackenzie was not
specialist and can not be accepted as
authority on technical, geological sub
ject like this. He used the term to
designate the substance from which
pipes were made.
Concluding that Minnesota specialists
would be likely to know more Of this
subject wrote to Hon. J. V. Brewer, of
st. Paul, about the matter and can not
refrain from quoting from his reply to
me, and also from his letter to Judge J.
T. Keagy, of Alma, Kan, on the same
subject:
"Red Pipestone, or Catlanite, is
marine deposit of great age, found only
in one place so far as yet known, i. e. in
southern Minnesota at the red pipestone
quarry. No red pipestone or catlanite
has ever been found any where else in
the world 1t is overspread with glacial
drift and was laid down about the same
as the Kansas ebert, but the influences
Of the marine action were far different
and of nature difficult to understand
or explain. How the salt ocean or
brackish Mediterranean sea deposited
the red pipestone is question that re-
quires more study. 1t is a genuine
curiosity we'll worth careful study and
consideration. 1t is of marine origin
but of what material is unknown.
''The Rainy lake deposit, of which you
Judge Keagy] have a specimen pipe
found near Pillager, is more apt to ap
pear greenish, or somewhat of brown
color, as seen by numerous specimens
which I have here at st. Paul. Some
call it soapstone. One specimen taken
from the mound near the quarry is
in the rough and shows brownish
natural color, while one which has been
polished shows greenish cast, not i'm
possible to be described as reddish green.
"North of Duluth in Minnesota is
jet-black deposit susceptible to high
state of polish. All three of the Min
nesota quarries are remarkably different
and far remote from each other. But
little attention has been extended to
these quarries and for that reason they
are not yet fully understood or accurate
ly described.
81 discovered a deposit of shale in Cen
tennial valley, Montana, where Bannock
Indians quarried material for pipes.
1t is few miles north from Red Rock
lake. The color is reddish and 1 was
deceived into the belief that it was
catlanite, but it was not. Neither are
the Rainy lake or Missouri river deposits
mentioned anything whatever like
catlanite.
81 have pipes here at st. Paul from
each of the four quarries mentioned;
they are dissimilar and by no means of
the same kind of material"
