Excellent Minstrel Show.

No company could have faced the
splendid audience which filled the
Park opera house last night. even to
the galleries, without endeavoring to
do the best that was in them. The
house had almost every seat sold and
appreciative one.
The Primrose Dockstader minstrels
came with good reputation and they
easily sustained it by the splendid
rendition of the nun bers of their long
and entertaining program last night.
There have been as good minstrel
shows in Grand Junction. yes there
have been better, but none cleaner
or more appreciated than the one last
night
There were some things left out of
the program last night which are us
ually most wearisome at minstrel
show. The banjoists did not come
on the stage and attempt to be witty
between numbers in a monologue or
some que stionably funny wit between
them. There were no long pauses.
and very few jokes.
The olio part is the part generally
formanceS and last nights portion of
the program was decidedly good.
If we should specialize ON any one
song which attracted us more than
others. il would be the song "'The
New Born King by Mr.. Gra f.
Weller. This was magnificently rem
dered and the house gave full
measure of applause to the singer. He
responded to the encore and sang an
other verse. the company accompany
ing him in the chorus
Down in the Valley Where the
Blue Birds Sing was another nun
ber which was most pleasing.

aggregation on the continent. Bar

was given generous applause because
he was George Primrose. The olio
part was concluded with the song
1.-The Old Flag Never Touched The
Ground. sung by the interlocuto1,
w. H. Hallett. with beautiful tab
leau accompaniment.
The Howard brothers were the
greatest banjoists that the writer has
ever heard and many has he heard.
They were peerless. They played
with dash such as one rarely hears
in the music of the banjo. The part
which they played of the overture to
the opera of William Tell was un-
doubtedlv the finest thing of the kind
ever heard in this city. They de-
lighted the audience and were seem
ingly we'll pleased themselves with
the interest which their work made
upon the audience.
While it can be said that Primrose
is past the meridian of his best work
it cannot be said of Lew Dockstader.
The latter was very. very funny. His
automobile act was inimitable and
could only have been done by Lew
Dock stader. Anyone else attempting
such thing would have made IA mud
die. His monologue was splendid
and altogether the audience was
greatly pleased by the entertainment.
One thing more was especially
worthy of note. The hoop rollers.

men made hoops appear almost as if
they were alive and it was new act

Washington, ID. c., July 2.
Judge Penheld, solicitor Of the State
Department, today made statement in
reference to the criticisms made of him
by Senator Bailey, of Texas, in the SEN
ate day before yesterday, in which he
gives Senator Bailey the lie direct in the
following language: Senator Bailey's
charge that | refused to furnish an office
copy of contract enclosed in one of
Gen. Clayton's dispatches is in its sub
stance and spirit untrue, and he knows
it perfectly well when he made the charge
in the Senate, for he had a letter in his
possession, written by Secretary Hay on
April Is, informing that the chief clerk
of the department has been instructed to
furnish to DIR. Scott, as per Senator
Bailey's request, copy ofthat enclosure
(which he can have by calling or fur
nishing his address to the department.
''The truth of the matter is that Senator
Bailey set out some months ago to re-
move General CLAYTON from his Office as
ambassador to Mexico because Gen. Clay
ton would not take instructions from him
instead of the Secretary of State. fl
had joined with Senator Bailey in his
condemnation of Ambassador Clayton,
whose record before the department for
hdellty, discretion and efficiency is most
excellent, he would have omitted his as

Bailey is one of those men who 90 HINT

witness stand and described in detail
the discovery of the body. Answering
questions by the District Attorney he
said the body was greatly swollen and
blood flowed from the nose and mouth.
The face was black and no marks
of violence were noticeable. In the
examination Lawyer Miles ELECTED the
information that CatTrey had detected no
cut or bruise on the face. When asked
if he had detected blood upon other
bodies found drowned Caffrey stated
emphatically that he had not. Burt

which was found, he described as cor
responding with that of Fosters body so

of the face and blood about the eyes was
concerned. He recognized no cuts or
abrasions about the head or face, and
acknowledged that had such been prom
inent they would have been detected.

THERE HAD been lull recently in

Ing its placid conditions when its seren-
ity was broken shortly before twelve
o'clock last night by the murderous act
of a negro who attempted to butcher his
entire family. His wife, one OF his IN
tended victims, is seriously wounded end
her recovery is uncertain. His little
children fled from their inhuman father
with knife wounds in their flesh and a
neiehbor who entered the house in order
to protect the wife and little ones fled
with blood streaming down his face
The police. too, were objects of the
wouId-be murderer's vengeance and they
took their lives in their own hands in
entering the house and disarming the
fiend, who was swapping pistol In
their faces. Officers Griffin, Roberts,
Arlington and Nicholson manifested the
nerve requisite for their calling when
they braved all danger and took the
negro in charge. There is no account
ing for such transition from docility
to fiendishness on the part of the prison
er. The offspring of an old Alexandria
family of colored people, he was never
guilty of any serious ofense heretofore,
and why such mania for wholesale
murder should have possessed him is
harl to understand.

have been offered to the miners other
than the terms laid down by the opera
tors at the beginning of the struggle.
There is not the slightest sign that any
of the operators desire to offer any other
terms than those, and talk of concession
is idle. A Lackawana representative
who has just returned from the coal
fields, states that everything points to
growth of dissatisfaction among the
strikers -
