SUCCESS OF sELAsco PLAY.

NEW YORK. March l2.-In these
days of long theatrical runs, when a
popular play frequently occupies the
boards OF a metropolitan playhouse for
months at a stretch, Tooth perform
ancc usually attracts little attention
II is pleasing to note, nevertheless
that play devoid of cheap sensation
and relying wholly on its intrinsic
worth and the capability of the play
ers as bid for popular favor can at
tain the century mark and continue to
play to capacity audiences. Such is
the record OF Sweet Kitty Bellaire,"
in which Henrietta Crosman Is appear
ing with almost unprecedented sue
cess. and which celebrates its Tooth
performance at Belascos popular play
h11se tonight. 1t was the original in
teution to take the piece on the road
some time ago, but such has been its
ropolitan success that it will prob
ably continue the attraction at Mr.
Beasco's theater until near the end
OF the present season.

TELLURIDE. March l2.-Martial
law came to an end in San Miguel
county about o'clock last night when
Captain Buckley Wells, in command
Of the military, read an order from the
governor and adjutant general TO this
effect. The order was as follows
State of Colorado. Adjuiant Generals
Office, March 8. 1904.
General Order No. IL:
Whereas. on January 81, 1904, did,
by general order No /, declare the
county of San Miguel. in the state of
Colorado. to be in a condition border
Ing on insurrection and rebellion, and.
Whereas, since said date. conditions
in said county of San Miguel. state OF
Colorado, have been, and are rapidly
changing and improving. Peace and
good order In said county are being
fully restored and maintained. and il
has been shown to me that the civil
authorities are willing and able to
perform their constitutional functions.
and to exercise law;
tudt tnt luTtntT
application OF qualified martial law
under such proclamation shall be, and
is. hereby suppressed. This order TO
become operative and be in effect from
and after Friday. the 1lth day of
March, A. d. 1904, at s O'Clock. p. IN
JAMES A. PEABODY,
Governor and Chief.
SHERMAN BELL.
The civil authorities are now in con
troll and will look after the peace of
the community. While the order Will
permit OF the return of all deported
persons it is believed the disturbing
element will profit by the lesson and
peace prevail. Should the deported
men return and stir up trouble 1t will
be an easy matter to call out the local
militia and with martial law again
banish the disturbers. II is not the
desire of the civil authorities to inter
fere in the least with the rights of any
man. All that will be asked is that
threats of violence and overt acts be
avoided.
