has essayed 400 different roles, em- bracing both the modern and classic drama. Allan Dale, the New Fork critic, once wrote of him, "In su- perior cast Lester Lonergan distin- guished himself" and other prominent critics have praised him for his mas terly art, graceful acting and fine read ing.
 W. Kingsley Tarpey, the we'll known magazine contributor and literary crit ic, once wrote as follows of George Bernard Shaw:
 s.He is undoubtedly the most bril- liant all around intellect of those at the present time occupied in the pro- duction of plays for the English stage, He can do score of things-for aught know, hundred things-c onspicuous- ly we'll By sheer force of brain and will power he can at moments no tice invade the precincts of this or that branch of writing and acquit himself more creditably than the average spe- cialist. His views are wide and deep and keenly pierce the compromises of society; his humor, usually cynical and flippant, is rarely without serious purpose underlying it. For all his ap- parent lightness MT. Shaw is a moral force, and he possesses, what is rarely conjoined with moral force, a clever ness that is amazing. Once, at least he has transcended cleverness and touched the border of the fairyland ot genius. Tn his plays there is one tc which, think, no lesser place thar genius can be found. am tempted tc say that there Is in. Candida a germ .Of fimmortallty.'

 Brown the Color For Autumn.
 Brown will be the great autumn col or, and all sorts of freakish shades will be in vogue, says the New York Press. Chocolate brown will be used for street wear, and the golden brown is another favorite. Brown with q yellow cast is brand new shade. Many of the newest brown costumes demand boots and stockings to match and hat of corresponding hue. This summer brown suits for men were popular.

Juneau Grand Jury Was Slightly Discouraging, Though No
 Lasting Effect.

Dawson, Feb I2.-Late arrivals from the outside report that gambling still remains unchecked in Southeastern Alaska towns. As is the custom every few months, grand jury made an effort to put an end to the evil recently with but little success. The games at Ju- neau closed for short time, but were again running at full blast week ago. On Douglas island the knights of the green showed their contempt for the jury by refusing to close. They ran right through the session. never losing a shift.
 Two big houses, the Pack Train and Board of Trade, are running at Skag- way. These were closed for while last fall, but were reopened as soon as Big Heel Joe' Engel was returned his interest in the two places. Since Joe has been identified with the games the authorities have not made any fur ther trouble.

REPORT
 NO GOOD Geological Survey of the
 Peninsula.
GOLD IS NEGLECTED
The Official Pamphlet Contains Nothing to Aid Practical
 Mining Men.

An official report has been prepared of the operations of the geological sur vey parties who visited Seward penin- sula last summer. The object was to gather information about the gold de- posits, but the report says almost noth- ing about results, and there is little or nothing in it to help the practical mining man. An abstract of the re- port, prepared in the geological sur vey, says:
 ''The purpose of the typographical survey was to complete the reconnois- ance mapping of the peninsula which had been begun by the geological sur vey in 1900 and extended in 1901. The principal object of the geological in- vestlgation was to procure information concerning the placer gold deposits on Candle creek and the tributaries of the Keewalik, Buckland and Inmachuk rivers, discovered in 1901, and to de- termlne the presence of any other valu- able minerals which might, perhaps, be unfamiliar to the miners. In addi- ton it was desired to obtain evidence that would throw light on the origin of the source of the gold and to learn as much as possible of the structural rela- tions of the gold-bearing rocks"
 The abstract then describes the diff culties of the expedition, and adds that the preliminary topographic mapping of the entire area of Seward peninsula was completed, while Mr. Moffit con- pleted geological reconnaissance of the region and studied in more detail the creeks in which gold has been pro- duced."

Provisions Scarce and High in Price at the Interior Camp.
 -S5OO,OOO Cleanup.

Frank Shaw and Harry Leland of the Wild Goose Mining Company, ar rived Thursday from the outside. They left Seattle on January %, stopping en They experienced excellent weather throughout the entire trip. They left Dawson February l6, and from Circle went to the Tanana, where they spent short time, half day being devoted to Cleary creek, in that district. Mr. Shaw went down into several shafts on that creek and banned quite exten- sively, and he believes that in time the Tanana country will develop into a good camp, as soon as supplies can be laid down at the diggings at moderate prices and improved methods of work ing are adopted. Fairbanks creek is another stream which is promising, but it has not been prospected to any great extent, although dumps are in evidence.

All the ware houses at the mouth of the Tanana have been cleaned out, and this is also practically true of Circle, Rampant and other Yukon trading posts Bacon was quoted at 50 cents a pound at Circle. Supplies are being sent from Circle to Fairbanks, and from thence to Fort Gibbon for the use of the military at the latter place.
 The cleanup this spring, it is esti- mated. will be about $50O,0OO. Howard Turner, formerly agent of the N. :Ce. at Nome, is at Fairbanks, and he is sat- isfied that that section has a great future. Fred Bates is still at Circle, and is as jolly and round as ever.

 II shall not go East on this trip un- less called there by the interior depart ment. From this city l propose going to San Francisco, where l will confer with Mrs. Mary F.. Hart, of Nome, who has been appointed lady manager. Mrs. Hart is also secretary of the Alas ka Academy of Sciences. She will probably visit Southeastern Alaska soon, forming clubs among the Alaska women in connection with the exhibit work.

 "The mayors of all incorporated towns in Alaska have been made honorary commissioners to the exposition. These include Juneau, Skagway, Treadwell, Douglas City, Ketchikan, Eagle, Valdez. Rampant and Nome.
 At this time we are behind in two main exhibits, fish and furs. We should have a great display of each. While here I expect to confer with those carrying on large fishing enterprises in the North, with view to enlisting their cooperation in making the fish exhibit. Last winters Alaska furs- that is, the best of them-have been shipped to London, and those being taken now may reach the exposition a little late.
 "Thomas Ryan, the executive chair man of the Alaska commission, is doing splendid work, and at this time 1 see no reason why our exhibit should not prove an entire success.'

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Three suits for & total of S530, 900 have been filed in the circuit court against r. H. Anderson of this city. Nels o.
