cinderella" pleased a large crowd
at the Kentucky theater last night.
1t is given by the julie Foreman OPP
era company and is medley of
verse, fun, fine music and pretty
stage pictures. The audience was en-
thusiastic at all times, and the show
is undoubtedly one of the best ever
seen here for the money. The spoken
words in Cinderella are in rhyme,
and popular songs, dances, ETC., are
lnterpolated. Miss Foreman, "Cinde-
rella," the prlma donna, has a fine
voice and charming personality, and
Bobby Nolan as "Dandino." made
the fun continuous. John Morris, as
the "Bafon," also furnished much
entertainment, while Fred ,Godding
as PEDRO" made much of minor
part Francis Carrier as the prince
possesses a fine voice and NivianFor-
rest and Lizzie Parker, as Cinderel-
las sisters, kept everybody amused
with their humor. "Black Sheep"
Nobody" and other melodies won
much applause, and the audience left
well satisfied with the evenings en-
tertainment This afternoon natl
nee performance is being given, and
tonight Cinderella will be presented
again. The election returns will be
read from the stage, and the audi
ence can keep informed without go
ing out for the returns.

What This Work Is.

The Historians HraO,1, as its name implies,
gives the narrative Of all history in the actual words
Of all the great historians 1t has been bull
with a view Of making history, which is the most
valuable and most inspiring Of all literature, easy
to read, delightful and profitable instead Of dry heavy
and dull, 50 many people are apt to find it.
II affords the only satisfactory substitute for the
enormous mass Of special works dealing In painfully
prOix fashion with small periods or fragments OF
history. This has been accomplished with great skill
by utilizing the most vital passages from the works O
every great historisn-s the masterpieces Of historical
narrative that will live fOrever-eprOducing them in
their entirety, and then weaving them together to make
consecutive story. ons-thrd Of the work has been
TT anSated from foreign languages The total number
Of historians whose works have been quoted cited
consulted by the editors Is about 1900.
This highly original and successful method Of treat
ment shows every great historical writer at his best.
They are suppem ented and eucidRted by editorial
comment and by special contributions from the greatest
living historians, such as Professor Hart, Of Harvard
Professor Harnack, Of Berlin Professor Rambaud Of
Paris, and Professor Cheyns Of Oxford thus insuring
narrative which Is distinguished, by common consent
for ts perfect unity and compelling interest. The
complete history Of the world Is here for the first time
presented in scholarly orderly and attractive FORM and
rendered accessible to the busy American.

An ideal and interesting literary collabora-
ton is that formed by Agnes and Egerton
Castle Mr. Castle comes from a family
in which ON both sides there are traditions
OF literary and philosophical pursuits. He
spent his first youth, although he comes
from purely English stock, in Paris. Re
turning to England at 10, he began hard
work at science, first at Glasgow Uni
versity and later at Cambridge. After
taking his degree he went to the military
college at Sandhurst, spent some time in
the service, and then threw UP his com
mission 10 become a man OF letters. Mrs.
Castle passed her childhood in an Irish
country house, spent a few years abroad
for the cultivation OF art and the languages,
and was married on the threshold OF her
first season. These united workers see m
10 reach their goal from widely different
starting points Mrs. Castle finds her great
est incentive TO new ideas in music, while
Mr.. Castle believes that inspiration lies for
him in scenery or old buildings associated
with history. In the first composition and
also for the final revision they work in each
others company-a couple Of hours in the
morning. The whole Of the mechanical
part, as well as the intermediary business,
Mr.. Castle takes upon himself to spare his
wife fatigue. To the maturing Of schemes
and Of characterization, as we'll as to the pre-
liminary talking over Of the plot, they devote
much time, and their work often remains
complete in their minds a long time before
s line is written. The result IL that It is
impossible 10 detect the line Of cleavage in
their collaboration.

DEATH OF PETER RUTHERFORD

Peter Rutherford died at his ranch
home at Currant Creek. Nye County,
Nevada, on Wednesday, Dec. 20. 1905.
Deceased had been in failing health for
several years. and for about a year the
debility was general and he rapidly
declined. He was a native of Prescott
County, Ontario, Canada West. and
aged 90 years 9 months, 3 days. He is
survived by a brother, Thomas Ruther-
ford, who lived with him and who is
his only known relative.
The two brothers came to Eureka in
early days and engaged in teaming.
For several years they ran big charcoal
teams into Eureka and afterwards when
the furnaces closed down they hauled
ore from Hamilton, White Pine County.
About eight years ago Peter Ruther-
ford went to Currant Greek. where he
secured q ranch and made his home,
his brother joining him a few years
later.
The remains were brought to Eureka
for i~nterment, Thomas Rutherford &C.
companying them. The funeral took
place Monday afternoon from p. H.
Hjul's undertaking room and was
largely attended.
