1.-The Fatal We1@img..''

A play with the title of THE Fatal
Wedding and which Is one of the
strongest comedy dramas of the pres
ent season will open three nights
engagement at the Auditorium COM
mencing Thursday. April 20.
The play has never been seen here
before, but met with much praise in
New York city, where 1t has just
concluded a highly successful run. 1t
Is from the pen of one of the most
successful playwriters known to the
public. He has chosen original scenes
and real incidents of life in the great
metropolis and woven together one
of the strongest stories that could
possibly be concocted.
The plot of the piece is full of
heartfelt interest and secures a
strong hold on the audience. One of
the most noteworthy characters Of
the piece is interpreted by little
s-year-old prodigy, little Lillian Rose
wood. whose acting secures a warm
spot in the hearts of all who see her
and retains 1t there.
The comedy characters are entrust-
ed to that of a Frenchman and an
Irish servant girl. who throughout
the play cause their hearers no end
of merriment, and whose complica-
tions keep their patrons in one con-
tinual scream of laughter
The scenic effects serve to intro
duce the interior of the famous re-
nowned Grace church, New York city,
which is shown in a very elaborate
manner; an interior scene of New
York court of justice is likewise
truthfully portrayed the famous

A Black Mans Wisdom.

Booker T. Washington is known
the length and breadth of this land
as n of the greatest leaders of the
negro race. He is more than this,
however. He deserves to be number
people, whit and black. His speech
at Louisville, KY. Thursday is suffi.
cient proof.
Could better advice and more tell.
ing reproof be combined in more TEN.
perate words than these which he ad.
dressed TO his race mates: Let moth
ing induce us to descend to the level
of the mob"
There are white men of pretensions
to leadership in every state in the
Union who must stand shame-faced
before these words.
He drew two lessons from the re.
cent lynchings-one for the blacks.
the other for the whites.
To the blacks he said: I'VE should
see to 1t that no effort be spared to
Impress upon u own people that i'd.
leness and crime should cease"
To the whites: Both in the max.
ing and the execution the same law
should be made to apply to the negro
as to the white man."
The first of these precepts will re-
quire a long and hard, but by no
means hopeless struggle before its
aim Is realized.
The second, in this land of the Dec
laration of independence, of the Con-
stitutional Bill of Rights and of the
Proclamation of Emancipation, should
be no sooner uttered than fulfilled.
He who ranges himself in spirit or
in deed against these precepts does
so to the peril of his nation.-Record.

ONE MORE FOR FREDERIcKs.
Kid Foley Goes Out in the Eighteenth
Round of a Fast Fight.

In the best, %cleanest and gamest
fight ever seen in Lewistown Kid
Fredericks put out Kid Foley, of
Butte. in the eighteenth round at the
Tivoli concert hall here Friday even
ing. The largest crowd that eve at
tended a fistic contest in Lewistown
was present to see the bout and all
went away perfectly satisfied that
they had got their moneys worth, for
the boys were not idle a moment from
the tap of the gong calling them to-
gether for the first round until Ref
cree Bebb counted the gritty boy
Out.
The main event was preceded by
a very clever preliminary sparring
exhibition between Doc Flynn and
Jim Hayward. These boys are both
high class boxers and while making
no attempt to do any damage, did
some of the prettiest boxing ever
seen in the city.
When the principals for the 20
round 90 entered the ring both were
warmly applauded, the sports present
evidently remembering the great eX-
hibition which Foley put up against
Croake mere last fair time, and in
consequence gave him an uproarious
welcome. Fredericks appeared in the
best of shape. showing no signs OF
having been in q fast s~even-round
miX.up with Doc Flynn only two
nights previous. Foley looked sever
al pounds heavier than his slender
opponent and had evidently not been
in the city long enough to get into
the best of condition.
The boys both went 10 work with
a will when the bell sounded and II
could be seen from the first moments
fighting that there "a to be no fancy
boxing, but a good, genuine fight.
Both were eager to mix matters and
in several fast exchanges in this
round the honors were about even.
Foley was evidently trying for an
early knockout, while Fredericks con
tented himself mainly with jabbing
to the face with his left and watch.

damage was done in either the first
or second rounds, but in the third

the crimson in a large stream from
Foley's nose.
In the fifth Fredericks landed one
of the blows which had an effect in
putting Foley to the bad. 1t was a
hard right punch to the heart. The
Butte boy went down and when he
rose after the referee had counted
nine, he was in evident distress. He
gamely went in, however, and finish.
