LONDON, April 27.-The first act in the
celebration Of Ellen Terry's jubilee was
performed at His Majesty's Theatre to-
night, when Miss Terry appeared as Mistress
Page, with Beerbohm Tree as Fdlsfdf, on
the eve OF the fftieth anniversary Of her
debut as an actress.
Before o o'clock this morning enthu-
siasts began to gather at the doors Of the
pit and gallery armed with stools, food and
books, to await the evenings event. Long
before the doors opened the crowd exceeded
the theatres accommodation. A second
crowd gathered to watch the enthusiastic,
among whom street vendors were busy
selling refreshments.
When eventually the devotion Of tbs en-
thusiasts was rewarded by Miss Terry's
appearance on the stage the enthusiasm
which had been suppressed for long hours
burst into a hurricane Of cheers and rafting
handclape.
Miss Terry bowed with smiling grace
until she was tired, and then tried to escape
by way Of the wings. Mr. Tree barred the
exit Of the favorite and compelled her to

Immediately the performance ended

the actress. Mr.. Tree recited a laudatory
epilogue written by Louis Parker, to which
Miss Terry replied in lines by the same
writer, with prearranged stage business.
The applause was tumultous throughout
Miss Terry was much affected. Then, on
behalf of the Playgoers' Club, a silver
casket was presented to her, in which was
an address paying a tribute to her art.
Miss Terry in the course of her reply to the
presentation speech said:
Il know it had been your intention TO
honor Sir Henry Irving and myself this year
of our common jubilee. That intention
has been frustrated and am here TO re-
ceive your gift alone, but l know, and it
greatly enhances the value OF the gift, that
your love and admir- alton for him Is en-
shrined along with your tribute to me in
this casket.'
The singing Of Aud Lang Syne' and
renewed cheers ended the ceremony.

The Landlubber's Toast.


lis pleasant to taste of the spray
As the waters dash over the rail,
To be frozen and wet
And extremely upset
In the teeth of a laundering gale,
But the joys of seafaring life
Are naught but the emptiest boast
AS glasses we clink
In a room that can't sink
And delightedly drink
A new toast:
Oh here's to the land, 70 no.
Drain, drain every foaming tankard,
Oh, here's to the sea
AS it looks to me
From beach that is firmly anchored.
Oh, here's to the quiet respectable
street,
Where the winds never bowl and
the waves never beat,
Where the ground has been trained
To stick close to your feet,
A health to the land, 20 no.
There's a charm in the mariners
life,
OF pleasure he suffers no lack,
AS he tumbles through space
The winds slap his face
And the boom makes dent in his
back;
When the waves wash him over the
side
In playful and innocent style,
The fishes who note
His descent from the boat
Eat him up. table dhote,
With a smile.
So here's to the land, 20 no!
Drain, drain every tankard foaming;
The delights l resign
OF the billowy brine
Let another do all my roaming.
Oh, here's to the land where you
stick to your chairs.
Where the beds do not fire you
out unaWareS;
Where you know which is down
and which is up stairs,
A health to the land, 20 no!

say
The puzzle in the packers case is
to find out what all the row is over.
The packers are claiming that Com
missioner Garfield came TO Chicago
and wormed his way into their conf
dence and their bookkeeping depart
ment under pledge not TO reveal any
OF their secrets. Those secrets after
wards came out TO some extent and
the packers We're indicted by a fed
eral grand jury. They have come in
TO court and set up the claim that they
cannot be punished even if guilty,
since they told on themselves under
promise of immunity.
They have spent a week testifying
to the promises made by Mr.. Garfield,
but there has not been a scintilla of
evidence introduced to show that Mr..
Garfield broke any promise he may
have made. The packers appear to
assume that the cat having gotten out
OF the bag, Mr.. Garfield must have let
ii out. Attorney General Moody says
his department got no information
from Mr.. Garfield nor from the de-
partment of commerce and labor, nor
from the president of the United
States. It got its own information in
its own way. Therefore he believes
the packers must stand or fall on
their innocence or guilt. irrespective
Of what Mr.. Garfield may have Sc
cured in the way of information.
The doctrine set up by the packers

END OF THE COPPER WAR.


Every person in the state is inter
ested in the authoritative announce
ment that the Butte copper war is
ended. Everywhere it is conceded
that this result is of the highest i'm
portance to the state at large. for
more than one reason. The HeinZe
properties in Silver Bow have been
turned over to the new corporation.
and in commenting upon this, the Hell
ena Record says
Throughout industrial Montana there
will be rejoicing; throughout agricui-
tural Montana there will be a feeling
of relief: throughout mining Montana
the announcement will be hailed with
delight. Nothing that could have hap
pened could please the people quite
so much as the definite word that this
strife which promised to be eternal
has come to an end
Details of the settlement are lack
ing. That is natural. 1t is not likely
that all of the particulars will be made
known for many months. The crafty
ing part of it all is that Montana is at
last rid of warfare that was not of
its bidding and far from its liking.
To Butte and Silver Bow county the
sale of the Heinze properties to the
Amalgamated will mean much. For
example, it will mean the active pros
ecution of work in the mines long idle
because of litigation. Some of the
properties in which work was suspend
eu years ago by court orders are inn
mensely valuable. The promise now
is that these will be reopened. Easily
ii will be seen that the settlement.
i'll an industrial way, is worth mil
lions of dollars to Butte each year.
So far as the people of Montana
are concerned, they have grown heart
lily sick and tired of the struggle be-
tween Heinze and the Amalgamatei.
1t is the history of this state that the
people have been the sufferers, year
In and year out, by reason of the bat
tie in Silver Bow. In every county in
Montana, in every city, in every town,
IN every hamlet men who had been
friends and neighbors were arrayed,
one against the other. They fought at
the behest of the cOntending mining
companies, because there was moth
ing else for them to do. The Amalga-
fight corrupted Mon
tana's politics; it disturbed Montana's
business conditions, for no man might
cali his store his own so long as the
other fellow suspected him of being
'Heinze man" or an "Amalgamated
man; it divided houses and it de-
5troyed confidence.
Now that it is at an end, this Butte
war, Montana will begin to reap the
benefit that comes from increased ac-
tlvity in its mining fields Capital
that was timid before will come and
the small property will receive atten
ton as it never did before. There
will be no longer feeling of hesitancy
on the part of the eastern investor.
