not have a large house last evening was
the Westminster theatre, but there is no
doubt but what the attendance for the re-
mainred OF the week will be much larger

PARK THEATRE.

The audience attending the perform
ance at the Park theatre last night was
not at all slow in apprecisting the pro
duction offered by the management for
this week. Nor was the demonstration
at the conclusion OF each scene and the
play void OF taste. for OF it's class the
melodrama presented this week Is much
above the average character. stage ef-
fects and action. though the plot Is the
portrayal Of the humdrum life OF the
Bowery district OF New York.
OF the actors and actresses in the va
rious roles there were several who pos
sessed real merit and showed knowl-
edge OF the parts which they character
ized. Miss Helene Hyle was the star
among the performers in her versatility

the villain was deeply villainous but
overdid his part to an extent. The same
thing may be said of the hero OF the
drama. Jack Waters. Though In his part

and invaded their reservation in search
of desirable claims, much after the
manner supposed to be customary in
the States, and were evicted by the
Indians
The truth of the matter is the Stony
Indians are too much the friends of
the whites to go on the war path
against them, no matter what their

est settlement of this country by the
white traders of the Hudson Bay
company, the Stonies have kept every
treaty made with the whites, and the
whites have respected every treaty
made with them until the coming of
the immigrants from the States.
Fifty years ago the Stonies were con-
sidered the most warlike tube of the
northwest. They were feared by every
other tribe. and they were constantly
at war with first ons and then an
other of them, but never with the
whites.
