uND DENOUNCED.
"Belle of New York" Criticised by One
Who Was "Taken in"

U VMO was 4dkcu Ill.,
To the Editor:
I scanned the columns of your paper
this morning in vain trying to find an
article criticislng the performance at
tho opera house last evening.
The coming of this performance was
heralded by a circular letter sent
through the mails by Manager Bah
cock yer his name giving in detail the
herculean efforts that he was making
to get the troupe to stop in our city
and he pictured the many pleasing
features that were with this aggre-
cation Of talent as being something
out Of the ordinary. I, among the
many, received one Of his letters and
thought the city was to be compli-
mented by a troupe not only large in
numbers but great in talent and abil-
ity.
That the pubic took him at his word
is attested by the large gathering that
assembled at the opera house last
evening, the box receipts being esti-
mated at about $500.
That we were "bilked, sold and gold
bricked" is putting it very mildly.
The performance was neither a play,
comic opera nor vaudeville. 1t had
neither a plot nor a tangible onnec
ton from beginning to end. There
was neither wit, humor nor pathos
in any of the acts. There was not an
actor or actress that could lay claim
to the title. There was not a good
singer or dancer among the number.
AS to the actresses none Of them could
pass muster for beauty in face or
form. AS to the men in the troupe
the word ''homely'' would be letting
them off mildly. It was on the
whole an aggregation Of men and
women going through the country
under a catchy name trying to give a
performance showing the indecent,
low and vulgar forms Of life in the
slums OF New York and other places.
It was a hybrid performance, that
had no pride of predecessors to point
to, and I hope never will have any
successors in this town.
The performance of the ''Crazy
Dutchman'' would not have done
credit to any "Hu1dy Gurdy" per-
formance that was in vogue in west
ern towns a few years ago. The in
decency Of some of the costumes was
such that there was not a lady in the
audience that did not blush with
shame and the town authorities ought
to have compelled the management
to have rung down the curtain and
made them return the box receipts
for such imposition.
The local management of the opera
house are relying upon the public for
support and likewise the theatre going
public are relying upon them to see
that plays that they give their endorse
ment to and ask for extra admission
should be worthy of their endorsement
and not lend their names to propping
up a low and indecent troupe going
through the country and "bilking''
their own town people.
This is not the first time that they
have been so free. with their endorse
ment, notably, "Nellie McHenry," to
recall pleasant recollection, and the
only we have is to roundly
denounce them with the hope of bet
tering their attractions.
Yours respectfully,
P. B. Moss.

Seven Petty Cases Up in Police Court
Yesterday.

In the police court yesterday Bessie
Jacobus, a resident Of the 'tbad lands'
and an inmate Of one of the disreput-
able houses, paid a fine of $40 for
being drunk and disorderly. Bessie
got on a high lonesome and left her
corral when she was lariated by the
police.
Peter Call, Geo. Silford and Pat
Curran will each do four days of
work for the city of Billings fol being
Migrants.
Samuel Davis got the blues yester-
day and he attempted to drown them
in the flowing bowl with the result
that he bumped up against the police
and later faced the police magistrate.
Davis was but recently married to a
daughter of J. B. Cooper and he had
made up his mind to make a man of
himself. Papa-in-law Cooper did not
take kindly to Son-in-law Davis, and
the latter soon found himself out in
the cold, cruel world, having been un-
tremendously kicked out of Cooper's
house, where he had taken up his
abode. This was more than the groom
could stand, SO he came into Billings
and proceeded to drown his SORROWS,
just as many another man has done
in drink. The judge listened to
DAVIS tale Of woe and on the latter
promising to brace up he was dis
charged. f.
T. Wigner got one drink of liquor
from a southside saloon and it had the
effect of not only turning his head,
but twisting his feet as well. This
was the story he told Police Judge
Mann. He promised to shun the
south side and was discharged.

There is a charming simplicity about a

Jewelry Notions.

Just now Jeweled collarettes seem to be
more popular than ever. In design and
combination Of stones they are certainly
exquisite, offering a rare chanc for display
OF individual taste. One OF all diamonds
Is not considered as elegant as one COM
bining stones Of color. 1t is the connois-
seur. though. who really prefers a design
worked out in rich colorings. This taste
for gems OF color is an acquired one; 1t
grows with amazing rapidity. and its graft
fication Is determined only by ones income.
A collar studded with brilliant white dia-
monds certainly possesses beauty. but the
beauty is rather that of a picture done in
black and white. In design and execution
the picture may be the work Of an artist
and the effect highly pleasing. But place
beside It another one, its exact counterpart
in outline, but with the warmth of color to
enhance its pleasing qualities The COM
parison is the same between an elaborate
design worked out in gems of purest white
and one exactly the same. using instead
stones Of rich hues.
1t is the blending Of soft tones that ,pleases
the cultivated eye. Then. too. colored
stones. rubies. emeralds and canary dia-
monds are highly priced because fine ones
are so very scarce. Take emeralds. for In
stance. To the uneducated eye there is
absolutely no difference between q modern
emerald and one found hundreds of years
ago. but the connoisseur recognizes at q
glance the yellowish green shade that dis
tinxuishes the heirloom. Naturally, these
heirlooms are not flooding the market.
Where pearls are the stones for collar
cites. diamond bars are generally used. and
these may be quite plain or Of fancy de-
sign. Matching the pearls when several
hundred are needed is by 10 means ar easy
thing. In size. shape and luster they must
be exactly alike. and these three qualities
az their price.
Single strings OF pearls or fine gold chains
are used with La valliers pendants. These
are always made with stones of COLOR

pear-shaped pearl. with an emerald of the
same shape, or any combination that SUITS
