1t the feelings of the audience. The first
and second acts are the signals for mer-
riment but the humor is changed shortly,
by the sentence Of death of Nathan

Mr.. Kyle has around him, artists in
every part in the production and to them
is due good share of the applause be-
slowed last evening. Miss Jessie lett
shares the honors equally with Mr.. Kyle
and the kind, lovable and beautiful char
acter portrayed in Alice Adams" the
school girl, is clearly brought out by this
charming woman. Guy Fitzroy, as
Frederick Webber, in the villains role
handles his part well as does John Niles
in the despicable character of Cunning

the colored slave. Geo. A. D. Johnson as

Ebenezer Lebanon and the other men,

GAMBLING KICK.
COMPLAINT AGAINST CRUSADE
IN AN ANONYMOUS LETTER.
WHY SOME GAMES ARE RUNNING
The County Attorney Asked to Explain
His Activity in Some Directions
While Other Well Known Gamblers
Are Permitted to Keep Their Places
open-His Explanation.

AS rule not much attention is paid to
the anonymous letter but the county at
tOrney received one today that was de-
cidedly interesting and he concluded to
speak few words in connection with it.
The letter was written with a lead pen-
Gil and dropped into the postoff1ce at 5
O'Clock Saturday afternoon. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Breen: AS you are SO very zeal
GUS in performing the duties of your
Office in closing slot machines and small
poker games why don't you get after the
bigger ones? Or is your rake-off too
big? Now, you know as well as anyone
else that there is a big game running
every night in the week by Mr.. Albertson
over the Combination; also in the Butte
hotel, and by Ike Moorhouse over Joe
Worman's saloon. Why are these places
allowed to run and everybody else shut
out? There is but one thing and that is
you or some of your henchmen are get
ting a rake-off from these places. 1t is
possible you don't know about it. If SO
you are excusable and we now tell you.
If these places are allowed to go and the
rest shut out you will hear something
drop. It will be written up in the papers
soon.
I'VE did as much and more to put you
WACIC yOu are IuAH clIu0T VI THESE men
that are running all the time and maxi
ing big money.
FAIR PLAY"
After reading the letter Mr.. Breen
said
IF the person who wrote that letter will
call here and enter complaint against the
persons mentioned or against anyone else
conducting gambling games we will show
him what a vigorous prosecution means.
The county attorneys Office is not sup
posed to conduct detective business or
do the work of the police department;
it's officers are not supposed to appear on
the witness stand against violators of
the law, but If anyone will furnish us
with the proof of the existing evil we
will do the rest.
If gambling is being carried on I
know nothing about it and at any time
complaint is made against the alleged
offenders and proof of guilt furnished
prosecutions will follow. Slot machines
are a distinct propositiin. They were
being operated in open violation of the
law in plain sight of everybody and cam
not well be used in back rooms"

A Hit of Red Tape.

The absurdities of oficialism have perhaps never been better illustrated than by the incident in the career of Lord Shaftesbury which the author of Collections and Recollections" relates:
 One winter evening in 1867 he was sitting in his library in Grosvenor square, when the servant told him that there was poor man waiting to see him. The man was shown in and proved to be . laborer from Clerken- well and one of the innumerable re- cipients of the old earl's charity.
 He said, My lord, you have been very good to me, and l have come to tell you what have heard" It ap- peared that at the public house which he frequented be had overheard some Irishmen of desperate character plot ting to blow up Clerkenwen prison. He gave Lord Shaftesbury the in- formation, to be used as he thought best, but made it a condition that his name should not be divulged. If 1t were, his life would not be worth an hours purchase.
 Lord Shaftesbury pledged himself to secrecy, ordered his carriage and drove instantly to Whitehall. The authori- ties there refused, on grounds of offi- cial practice, to entertain the informa- tion without the name and address of the informant. These, of course, could not be given. The warning was re- jected, and the jail was blown up.- Youths Companion.

Extravaxanee of the Poor.

In his principles of economies Pro- lessor Marshall says that perhaps $500, ,0OO, ,OO0 annually Is spent by the working classes and $2,OO0. 100000 by the rest of the population of England in ways that do little or nothing to- ward making life nobler or truly hap pier. The presidential address before the economic section Of the British as- sociation at its recent Bradford meet Ing by Henry Higgins was devoted to proving the above statement by point ing out the many ways in which, large ly through ignorance, the working classes absolutely throw money away. The simple item of food waste alone Is almost enough. according to Mir. Hig- gins, to justify the above figures. The women do not know how to buy eco nomically, and owing to the large num- Der who are now practically brought up" in factories very few of them are passable cooks or even good housekeep- CTS. Housekeeping of even the hum- bier sort is an art. To know what Is the cheapest food from the point of view of contained nutriment, how to cook 1t to the best advantage and how not to have any waste does not come to a woman by intuition. As Mir. Hig- gins says, if more knowledge and time were devoted to the teaching of cook ing in our schools the meals of most families would be more varied, more appetizlng and nutritious and much more economical. MT. Atkinson has estimated that the waste of food in the United States from bad cooking alone Is over $1, ,0OO, ,OOO,OO a year. In speak Ing of expensive habits, such as liquor drinking and smoking, Mir. Higgins re- fers to the latter as the most econom- ical of recreations. How else, for in- stance, could the Harz miner give himself an agreeable sensation thou sand times a year at so low a cost as S2f But nobody" he continues. would wish to see freeman using his tobac- co as the Russian peasants described to me by Prince Krapotkin, who first chewed 1t, then dried and smoked 1t and finally used the ashes as snuff." The time may not be far distant, Mir. Higgins suggests, when in large indus trial towns the entire preparation of meals will be in the hands of special ists. just as the originally domestic op- erations of baking and brewing now are.-New York Times.
