terror of the Observer Office. The walls
will be repapered and the front painted
and such repairs made as are necessary
The landlord. Mr.. VIM. Harvey, evident
ly has been struck by wave OF pros
perlty as he has consented to have the
work done with little or no solicitation
on the part of the Observer manage
ment.
Nearly G.OOO tons OF ore, consisting to
large extent OF concentrate, were ship
ped from Central City to the smelters in
the valley during October, and the low
rates for shipments over the Colorado &
Southern and for treatment charges by
the smelters will undoubtedly assist 10
the moving of large amounts Of ore. The
Golden plant is now operating in full
blast. During the past month about
5000 tons of ore and concentrate were
shipped from Idaho Springs. In the case
OF that camp, also, the increase Of ship
ments Of late is caused by low railroad
rates and low schedule Of smelling
charges, caused by tho competition Of
the Golden smelter OF the Independent
Smelling & Refining Comany.-Engine-

The social given by the ladies OF the
Golden Eagle Saturday evening in Gold

was quite lengthy. requiring from 8
o'clock until nearly 1890 to complete the
list. The home orchestra during the
evening rendered several selections in a
very pleasing manner which were appre-
ciated immensely by the audience. The
musicians were applauded frequently.
Refreshments, consisting OF sandwiches.
coffee and ice cream were served at
about IL o'clock. There was plenty for
everyone and the ladies were liberal in
serving their nicely prepared and ap-
pstizing edibles. A goodly sum was re-
allied on the entertainment which will
be used in providing the degree team
with the necessary costumes. The at
tendance left for their homes about
n idnight.
A very small house greeted Black
Patti and her troubadoures last Sunday
evening. The production was a musical
comedy and some very good talent was
introduced. The chorus girls were all
pretty creoles and exceptionally fine
singers. Several Of the male members
OF the cast had voices that one could sit
for hours and listen to without getting
tired. Prominently among these was J.
Francis Morris, the b4sso. His TUrssdo
love song outside Of the singing by Patti
was by far the grandest OF any. TIE
special features-hoop rolling and cor
net solos-were performed by artists un-
mistakably. Mr.. John Rucker, the
alabama Blossom" was positively the
only commedian in the troupe and was
an entertaining and pleasing character
for the entire audience. Black Patti
didn't make her appearance until in the
last half of the closing act and her stunt
was very brief. But she was a warbler
of the nightingale type and in chorus
would hold the high notes SO long the
other singers would become discouraged
and quit. The next attraction at the
opera house will be on Monday, Novem
Der 2Sth. The never firing and everlast
ing tear-streaming production, "Uncle
Toms Cabin" will hold the boards.
Stetson's great $4,000 production OF
"Uncle Toms Cabin" is booked for one
performance at the opera house for the
night of Monday, November %. There
is something about Uncle Tom that ap
peals to all. both young and old, refined
and coarse, the educated or uneducated
1t is the SAVIOR OF the soil, the approval
OF nature which attracts, and it must be
admitted, even by the blase amusement
seekers that "Urcle Toms Cabin, when
produced in the grand manner 10 which
the Stetson performances are always
launched, possess charm to be found
in no other form Of theatrical entertain
ment. Yet. like everything else in this
progressive age, Stetson's Uncle Tom
has improved with time, and each year
brings out fresh novelties, new features,
pleasing effects. With such an elegant
and complete organization as the Stst.
son company--with almost unlimited
capital at it's back-there is nothing |
which is really good omitted and even
the old drama which has been seen much |
Of late years Is enhanced with new ideas
to give the air Of novelty. The street
parade, with its Kaleidoscope colorings
Of silk and satin, waving plumes dane
ing prapcipR ponies, meek eyed dopkeys.
