A BENEFIT TONIGHT
Phoenix Will Show Her Appreciation
 of the Oberle Company.

The work Of the Oberle Stock com p-ny here and elsewhere has been giv- cn extended mention in these columns for the very good reason that it has been more than satisfactory to all theater goers and highly compliment tary to every member of the company. AS it's engagement is now drawing to q close it has occurred to many citizens that something should be done in token of appreciation of the efforts that have not only made the company popular but in a theatrical way have done much to advertise this city. The following f-eXplanatOry correspondence took place yesterday, and as a result it is expected that the Doris theater will be packed to it's fullest capacity to- night. The programme is to be a choice arrangement of the company's best ef- forts, sort of an all-star piece for an all-star aggregation.

GRAHAM COUNTY MINES.

Most encouraging reports continue to come in from the Polaris mines, upon which the company is pushing development work. l.. Y. Beauchamp who has been in charge of the work during the temporary absence of Man ager Woulf. was in town this week on business, and was more than enthusi- astic over the properties of the com pany. MT. Beauchamp is firmly of the opinion that that section Of the Green lee district will soon be developed into another Cripple Creek. Flbulously rich ore has been found on many different claims. The company is confident that it will soon have it's properties suffi- cientIy developed to justify it in put ting it's twenty-stamp mill at Evans Point into commission. The company has a world of from S1O to SIP ore which it can well afford to haul to the mill for treatment.
 P. F. Crowley, one of the most sue cessfui miners of the Metcalf section. is now shipping ore from the Antietam claim. which has made a wonderful record during the past year. The shaft which is 7x9 feet is all in ore. At 70 feet in depth he ran Q drift for IS feet through ore which will average 16.9J per cent copper and some gold, which is truly a wonderful showing for Q new property.
 Al Rosccrans and Benena Guerrea have been doing the annual labor on three claims near Garfield, upon olr of which they struck 2 foot of glance ore which will ave- Se more than 40 per cent copper. TEe boys expect to soon be shipping ore.
 Morris McAlpice is down from his mines in the Greenlee district. upon which he has finished the assessmer@ work for this year, besides doing a considerable amount of deveiopmen1 work. His claims are within the gold producing section of the district, and Mac is now prospecting them for gold Clifton Copper Era

AN EVENING OF PLEASURE
Hazel Kirke Success in Spite of the
 Rain.

The old favorite, Hazel Kirxe," was the play presented by the Oberle com pany last night. There was a good at tendance considering the forbidding nature of the weather and the audience was in the best of humor, while no ef- forts to please were spared. Ezra Norris, one of the managers of the company, is entitled to particular men tion for while he did not play the lead ing role his part was a very important one and if was his first appearance in an important role. Though the play is melod: anna and has many pathetic features a fire vein O: humor runs through it and comedy Is Mir. Norris stronghold. His deline2tion of the character of Pittacus Green could not be improved upon and was the life of the play In it's lighter features. MT
 Norris is we'll equipped with knew ledge of how to make people laugh when he has half a chance and last night he had the chance. Mir. Oberle and Miss Lowell as usual held up the heavy work in the little drama better than any artists who have appeared here il that production. The support was all that could be desired and aIto- gother Hazel Kirke" Is more classical and more popular than ever herea6out.

 Miss Ida NJ. Snyder, of No. 535 Der gen Street, Brooklyn, N. Y, has used Wine of Cardui and she says it helped her into a new life. Health to Miss Snyder is worth a great deal. She is an attractive young woman with intel lectual attachments and she occupies the position of Treasurer of the Brook lyn East End Art Club. This position marks her as a person of intellect, cul- ture and refinement and it speaks highly of the respect and trust her fellow women have in her. She writes:

 You may secure the same relief as Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui as she took it. Thedford's Black Draught is the companion medicine of Wine of Cardui and it is liver and bowel regulator which assists greatly in effecting cure. If you take these medicines according to directions, the relief and cure is simple. Some cases are cured quickly and others take longer because the disease has run longer. Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine of Cardui and has health. The same medicines are offered you to-day.

REASON AND THE LAW.

Cy Perkins was a cranky man. Joe Bunker
was the same;
To make each other trouble was each 9TH

And, as they had adjoining farms, it hap

To put the matter plainly, there was blood

A cut there was through Bunker's wood
that made a shorter way,
And Cyrus chose that road to town, despite
all Joe could say.
Though Bunker daily stormed and raved
as no good Christian should,
Yet Perkins calmly held his way through
that convenient wood.

The law demands that you shall heed the

There's no excuse that will be good If you

And l serve notice on you now that will

THE law" said Perkins, thoughtfully, sis
strange in many ways,
And / will heed all barriers that 1t may
fairly raise.

Just what it says I'm satisfied I'd bow to

Turn back!" cried Bunker, angrily, "for

ITO Be Continued
An English Tradition.

On his way from Clifton Down to
Avonmouth the prince of Wales
passed in the avon gorge curious
structure, to which a singular tradi-
ton is attached. The story is that
a person named Cook about a CEN
fury ago was told by a gypsy in the
Leigh woods that his only son would
be killed by serpent before he
reached the age of 21. To avert this,
he built a high tower, and shut his
son in the topmost room, with the
intention of secluding him there un-
til the fatal age was past. How
ever, by accident, viper was taken
up in a faggot and bit the boy so
that he died. Therefore, the tower
was called Cooks Folly, and that. is
its name, to this day. whatever is the
true explanation.-Londo Taller.

CHAPTER IV.-CoNT1NUED.

Griswold smiled when he remem-
bered how, in fiction of the felon-
catching sOrt-and in real life, for
that matter-the lawbreaker always
did leave a trace behind him, and
determined for once in a way to
demonstrate practically that it was
quite as easy to create an inerrant
fugitive as an infallible detective.
Joining the tbrong on the sidewalk,
he made his way leisurely to Canal
street, and thence diagonally
through the French quarter TO the
French market. In narrow aiiey
he found what he was looking for
dingy, sailors barber shop. The
barber was a negro, fat, unctuous
and sleepy looking; and he was
alone.
Eyes, sab; shave, boss?" he asked
as Griswold entered.
'No; a haircut" Griswold pro-
duced a silver half-dollar. go
around the corner and get me CT
gar to smoke while you're doing it.
Get a good one, if you have to go to
Canal street." he added, climbing
INTO the r1ckety chair.
The negro shuf1ed out, seeming
tips. The moment he was out of
sight Griswold snatched the scissors
and began to hack recklessly at his
beard; recklessly and swiftly, but
with thoughtful purpose. The re-
suit was a complete metamorphosis
speedily wrought. In place of the
trim beard and curling mustache
there was a rough stubble, stiff and
uneven, like that on the face of a
man who had neglected to shave fol-
q week or two.
II think that will answer" he said
standing before the cracked looking
glass to get the general effect. "Anc
it's decently original. 1 fancy your
professional blunderer would hav,
shaved. and the first amateur detec
tive he met would reconstruct tn,
beard on the sunburned lines. Nov
for an uncle the more avariciou
the better"
He went to the door and looked u,
and down the alley. The negro wa
not yet in sight, and he wake,
swiftly in the direction opposite t.
that taken by the man. A pawn
brokers shop of the kind he require
was not far to seek in that locality
and when it was found Griswoi
drove hard bargain with the Portr
guese Jew behind the counter. Tn
pledge he offered was the cfothe
he wore; and the bargain was COZ
cluded for pair of jeans trouser
a calico shirt, sailors cap and
red bandanna handkerchief. Thes
and trifiing sum of ready none
the inconsequence of which Griswol
deplored piteously before he woul
consent to accept it.
The Portuguese, most suspicio,
OF men, suspected everything but IL

truth, as Griswold had intended, ac-
cusing his customer fatty of having
stolen the clothes. And when Girls
void departed without denying the
accusation, suspicion became con-
viction, and the clothing, which
might otherwise have given the po-
lice a most important clew, was
carefully hidden away until time
should have quoted the Jews APP
prehensions.
Having thus disguised himself,
Griswold made the transformation
artistically complete by walking for
quarter of an hour in the dust of
loaded cotton float on the levee.
Then he made a tramp's bundle of
the manuscript of the dead book,
the pistol and the money, in the
red handkerchief, and having sur
veyed himself in the bar mirror of a
sailors pothouse, was minded to test
his disguise by going back to the
restaurant where he had break
tasted.
The experiment was made forth
with, and was an unqualified success.
The proprietor not only failed to
recognize him, but drove him forth
with revilings in idiomatic French
and broken English.
"Bete! Go back to da levee were
you belong to go. I'll kip da cafe
for zhentlemen. Scelerat! Col"
Griswold went, smiling between his
teeth.
THAT settles the question of pres
ent safety" he said to himself. 81
believe I could walk into the bank
and not be recognized"
The idea was SO temptingly ad-
venturous that he gave place to it
on the spur of the moment. Taking
five-dollar bill from his store, he
fouled it in the mud of the gutter
and then went in to ask the paying
teller to give him silver for it. The
teller shifted at the money, scowled
at the man and then turned back
to his cashbook. Griswold's smile
broke into laugh when he reached
the street.
THE dragon may have teeth and
claws, but it can neither see nor
SMELL" he said, contemptuously,
bending his steps riverwaId again.
"Now 1 have only to choose my
route and go in peace. How and
where are the only remaining ques-
tions to be answered."

CHAPTER V.

For an hour after his ventursome
return to the bank Griswold tramped
up and down the levee, and the end
of it found him still undecided as
to the manner and direction of his
flight.
The hour had not been altogether
triumphant. The partition which is
the dividing line between a life of
semi-vagrancy and life of crime is
tenuous enough; and any hot-heart
ed one may break through it at will.
But to be vagrant indeed, one must
first be vagrant at heart; and Girls
void was far enough from this, now
or at any time; so far from it that
the cl; ms of his transformed identi-
ty were already beginning to gall
him. 1t was to little purpose that
he girded at his compunctions, tell
ing himself that one needs must
