Low Grade Ore.

Aspen Times: A mining man said
yesterday that the efforts of Mr.. Blais
dell OF Grand Junction to secure low
grade ore from this district should tend
to stimulate prospecting and develop
ment work in the outlying districts.
There is known to exist large bodies Of
low grade ore near this city that might
be opened up and pro6tably worked II
the freight to the Grand junction emelt
er is not too high. This ore, he said,
would hardly stand treatment charges
and the present freight charges to the
smelters of the eastern slope, to which
must be added the cost OF mining and
hauling. The ore occurs in large bod
les and, while the profit per ton would
be small, yet the great tonnage that
could be mined would make paying

Coming Events.

Harry Beresford, we'll remembered here,
will bring his comedy starring vehicle,
THE Wrong Mr.. Wright" to the Boyd this
afternoon and evening. Mr.. Beresford tried
the piece here last season and was very
we'll received. 1t affords him an excellent
vehicle for the display Of his peculiar COM
edy talent. The piece is a clever and bright
affair from the pen of George Broadhurst,
the author Of several good things. Mr..
Beresford claims to be surrounded this sea-
son by a most capable company, which in
cIudes his clever wife, Emma Dunn, also
known here as a former member OF the
woodward Stock company. The comedy is
promised with the necessary stage adjuncts.
Uncle Tom, Little Eva, Topsy, Legree, the
~bloodhounds and Marks the Lawyer will
make their annual appearance at the Boyd
on Monday night. They will stay until
Tuesday night and on Tuesday afternoon a

keys and all the paraphernalia belonging to
the show, including the blo~odhounds, will
be given at noon Monday and Tuesday.
Frank Leo, an old-time minstrel and black
face artist, is enacting the role of Uncle
Tom this season. The company numbers
100 people, sixty OF which are colored peo-
pie and all of whom are singers, dancers
and comedians. The cotton picking scene
will introduce them.
Rose Melville, who created the character
OF Sis Hopkins, a new type OF country girl,
will be seen in the play Of that name at the
Boyd Wednesday and Thursday nights.
While isis Hopkins" is a rural drama 1t Is
said not to be on the conventional lines.
All the parts were created to at the unique
character Of Sis Hopkins. 1t has been
given very elaborate scenic investiture.
Miss Melville presented the act, Sis Hop
kins, in vaudeville until her work attracted
the attention of Manager John R. Sterling,
who elaborated 1t into a play. which has
been a big success everywhere.
Mr.. Stuart Robson will be seen In his re-

Down at the Creighton orpheum a vaude-
willie bill with some very bright spots in
lit was we'll patronized. The popularity OF
this form Of amusement really seems to
be growing in Omaha, after four seasons
of what looked to the management like
Success. .
During the recent convention Of the
Disciples OF Christ in Omaha, one eyange-
list, Rev. Gregory F. Hall of Chicago,
sought to attract some attention from tho
press on the reciprocity basis, but was lost
among the really great men who were in
attendance Since his return to the city
by Lake Michigan he has succeeded in get
ting some newspaper attention, and may
live to rue IL. It Is reported that during
the course of his sermon last Sunday even
ing he went after Richard Mansfield in a
way calculated to curl the hair OF that
amiable and estimable gentleman. For a
cause Of action the reverend gentleman set
up that It had been reported to him that
Mr.. Mansfield swore because some OF the
Chicago theaters are used for religious
services on Sunday. "If Mr.. Mansfield said
30 and So" said Rev. Gregory, then"
and he proceeded to call down several
different sorts OF anathemas and that kind
of thing on Mr.. Mansfield. Now, no one
who knows Mansfield would ever think him
guilty Of the language charged. He can
use a big d, and doubtless does or proper
provocation, but he does not play on Sun
day night, and so 1t is of no moment TO
him what goes on at the theater, whether
It is a sermon or a minstrel show, SO long
as the theateF is there ready for his uses
on Monday night. And he probably never
heard of Rev. Gregory r. Hall. But Mr..
Mansfield has a new manager, one who has
suffered long in editorial harness and who
knows the pains and penalties Of libel
from association with that which is more
subject TO suits OF this sort than any other
American institution. 1t is, therefore, prob
ably not from motives of revenge that Mr..
Lyman B. Glover has begun action against
the enthusiastic preacher for his ILL
advised aspersions against Mr.. Mansfield,
but to taste the delights of being connected
with the plaintiff in an action for libel.
mr.. Hall is contumacious and says he will
not retract nor abate his statements. and
Mr.. Glover says the court must decide II
the communication be privileged. Maybe
when Mr.. Hall emerges from the suit he
will be OF the same opinion still, but a
little more chary about expressing II. And
as Victor Herbert has just recovered dam
ages from the Musical Courier for one OF
its criticisms of an opera, there may be a
new vista opening for the people on the
stage who have heretofore had no other
means of redress than a speech from before
the curtain.

II is unpleasant to think that one 80

self on this, and, therefore, IL is surprising,
to say the least, to find him credited with
the following, which is taken from a report
Of a speech by him at a dinner given in
his honor by the American Dramatic Writ
ers' club OF New York. Of which he is presl-
dent, last Sunday evening. The excerpt Is

AS there seems to be a good deal Of mis-
understanding about the story Of the opera,
/ append It herewith, as il lie published in
a recent issue Of the Concert Goer.
Iris is an oriental story. The plot is
Japanese. It's philosophy differs entirely
from all. western systems. In 1t the sun
talks and is answered, as a person having
consciousness, and all things are supposed
to have knowledge. The story opens with a
scene in the little garden OF Iris, the only
playing with her doll baby and talking TO
the sun, and the young. man, Osaka, con-
OF a house in the Yoshiwara, a plan to
capture Iris and to keep her In the Yoshi-
wara. To carry out their plan they. get
with the hired assistance of some geishas,
musicians and tramps. They succeed In
draws her nearer and nearer to the ]puppets.
She is at length quietly captured and car
ried OF, after Kyoto has left a small sum
of money to make the seizure legal. Know
ing. nothing of the capture, Cieco Is led
to believe that she has gone to the Yoshi-
wara OF her own accord, He curses her
and gets two peddlers to take him there.
In act II Iris wakes up in a palace in the
Yoshiwara and. knowing. nothing of the
place, believes herself dead and in paradise.
Here she is met by Osaka, who's voice had
charmed her in the puppet show. She is in
clined to Hike him., but she Is so young and
innocent that she knows nothing whatever
about love, and only answers his appeals
by asking to go home to her little cottage,
her father and her garden of flowers. Dis.
gusted with her, Osaka gives her UP, And
Kyoto then resolves to make his money by
exhibiting her beauty to the crowds in the
Ioshiwara- Osaka again falls desperately
in love with Iris, as he looks on her and
tries to buy her from Kyoto. While thus
on exhibition she is gladdened by the sound
Of her fathers voice, not moving that no
has come to curse her. He Is led to the
show window, where he gathers handfuls OF
mud and throws 1t upon her, cursing her.
Crazed by the curses, she jumps from the
window into a deep sewer basin, provided
for frightening girls into submission.
In the third act rag plckers are searching
the river into which the sewers empty.
They discover the gaudy dress and with 1t
the body of Iris. The girl revives and the
men run away. Half living, half dead, she
reflects on herself, the world and fate. She
hears the voices Of the "egoisms" of Osaka,
C!eco and Kyoto. Believing herself about
to live again, she dies happily as the sun
rises. The sun again speaks to her, reas-
sures her and finally covers her body with
flowers.
