FEARSOMENEsS
AND FUN At GRAND
COMEDY AND MEL0DRAMA
CONTEND FOR H0N0RS
"A Millionaire Tramp" offers Both
and PIeases Pit and Gallery Alike.
"sherlock Holmes" Holds
at the Burbank

"A Millionaire Tramp" this weeks
offering at the Grand opera house, is
rightly billed as "rollicking comedy and
thrilling melodrama," and both comedy
and melodrama are of a kind long
stranger TO the stage Of the Main street
theater. The play opens as "a comedy
and Harrison King as the tramp,
Chandler and Frank E'rayne as the
negro hotel porter keep the audience
In such an cbullition of mirth that much
Of the dialogue is lost and the action
OF the play Is understood only from
the pantomime of tho players. How
ever this is easily followed, and the
tramp scores a laughing success.
Melodrama comes on the stage with
DR. Staley The doctor and the tramp
in boyhood days wooed the same wo-
man. Neither won her, for her parents
would not consent to her marriage with
Chandler. The doctor took to morphine
and Chandler took to drink. 1t sounds
tame and foolish. but it is not Drink
reduces the actor to a tramp and the
doctor is brought by morphine to a
semi-lunatic state, in which his estima-
tion of moral values is distorted and his
only remaining ambition Is revenge
on the III N and woman whom he con-
siders the cause of his ruin. Now he
meets them, and to him the doctor
says that she Is wed--to her he shows
the grave of her sweetheart. Con-
vinced of his death. she weds another,
a persistent and not unagreeable suit
or, and the Doctors revenge begins
when he brings the lovers face to face
in the presence of the newly married
husband. The girl realizes that the
man over whose supposed grave she had
wept still lives; she repudiates her
marriage and the curtain falls.
Harassed by fear of hereditary insan-
ity the doctor takes an overdose Of
the drug, and this self-inficted death
redeemS the character and enables
Harry Won Meter for once to win the
applause of both gallery and orchestra,
which his careful and finished perform
ance we'll merits. The problem facing
the lovers is left unsettled by the
fight of the husband, and the curtain
falls on these reunited sweethearts
fondly dreaming of divorce proceedings
and undying happiness.
There are no opportunities for the
heroine in this play. She is made to
character, but f-iss RanlSen does much
to rescue the part from the contempt
of the audience, and in this is fairly
successful. The comedy roles of Lule
Warrenton and Myrtle Selwyn are
much more fruitful of opportunities
Lillian Hayward, the antagonist of

ing the season, has this time only one
line. What pleasant relief for that
overworked actressi

BELASC0 WILL GIVE
"SH0RE ACRES" TONIGHT

The Belasco theater will present
James A. Herne's great play, "Shore
Acres" tonight, for the first time by
any stock company. George Barnum
will have the role formerly taken by
Herne, and an elaborate scenic pro-

success here.
Mrs. Herne widow y of James A.

How a Buffalo Runs.

The world has read the exaggerated
description of buffalo stampede, but
[ don't believe anybody has ever done
justice to the wonderful speed Of a
buffalo when lost from the herd and
trying to catch up, says man Of ex-
perience. 1t is a deceptive gait. The
man who never saw it before would
swear that he could outrun the animal
barefooted. eBut the fastest horse
ridden by cowboys couldn't catch a
buffalo when running alone.
Its marvellous lope, steady and en-
during carries it over the prairie at a
speed that would make race horse
lie down and cry at the end Of the
first mile. But the buffalo keeps this
gait up all day, and at night his great
flanks show no signs of fatigue.

THE ROYAL SLAVE
 NH WITH APPROVAL
A Very Satisfactory Performance at
 the Doris Opera House Last Nirht.

A very good audience greeted the performance of A Royal Slave at the Doris opera house last night. and those who attended were royalty enter tained. Better attractions have been seen in Phoenix. but their coming is seldom. and last nights presentation was so far above the average that it is worthy of decided connmendation.
 The story of the Royal Slave is full of action and the action depicts scenes that appeal to the better nature of the audience. part of the time. and the rest of the time to their disabilities. SO there is both humor and strong impress sions as well as a pleasing variety. Though the play is melodramatic it is a higher grade production than the stock melodramas that include a coy boy. a mountaineer who can neither talk English nor dialect, hissing vil- lain with a black mustache and a car nival of weddings at the close.
 The scene is laid in Mexico. and deals with a foreign people. with the eXcep- ton of one or two comedy characters who come from the states" and the setting is that of the upper strata of the society of the day Tor the leading characters. except Aguila, the last of the Aztecs who is the real hero. and for the purposes of the play possesses all the noble traits of the noblest of In- dians with none of his faults The real villain is a gentleman" but he has an ample number of low browed assassins for his tools. around whom no interest centers except to necessarily complete the story.
 The company is well costumed and the leading characters both men and women. are very clever. The Indian. as presented by H. F.. Humphrey is de- cidedIy good. Miss Van Tassell as the countess. plays well the part of the schemng and heartless woman and Miss Mcdonald is very good as Isa- dora. The comedy was furnished by Harry Hoyt as newspaper cores pendent from the states and Hazel Rice as maid. Both were unusually inter esting though the latter will be better with a few more months on her calen- dar, for she has to play the part of an eligible young woman, and she has scarcely reached that age of maturity. Nevertheless. she is a jolly and enter taining performer. Others were deserv- ing of recognition but the cast is too large to warrant an attempt of a com plete inventory at this time.
 The play was presented with special scenery which formed no small part oi it's perfection and one scene in partic- lar was strikingly realistic. showing a rushing stream in the foreground. a rocky bank beyond. which was the cen tral point of action, and in the greater distance the mountains and other fea- lures of a Mexican landscape. With just the proper light all went well, but a bit of awkwardness on the part of the electrician for but moment. disclosed the fact to the very critical, that the water was not wet and that the com pany carries it about from town to town in its trunk

THE SPECULAT0RS
 KEPT GUESSING
The Contrary Effect of Precisely the Same Influences on Northwestern Read Stocks.

New York. Dec I3.-The action of the stock market today was the occa- sion of much perpleXity and finally of anxiety. The contrary effect on diff ferent stocks. of seemingly like influ- ence. was difficult of interpretation. and ended in arousing a fear that a financial duel of some kind was beiug worked out in the stock market h. terest centered on the Hill railrOa stocks and on the St. Paul. the formef on account of the severe weakness which they showed and the latter cn account of its practically single re- sistance to the weakness which Hill stocks induced by sympathy with tho whole market.
 II has been assumed that for some time past the large buying of St. Paul was in anticipation of valuable rights Co subscribe tO the new stock already authorized but not yet issued. In the case 1T the Great Northern preferred subscription rights already have been conferred on stockholders and as in tho case Of the Northern Pacific it was confidentally expected that plans for new capital issues would be announced at any moment during the day, yet the Hill stocks kept falling away to indefinite new low levels while St. Paul rose bouyantly on heavy absorption.

BY TROLLEY
TO TROY
Proposed Extension Of B.
& H. V. Line.
WAY INTO CITY DESIRED
Plan Could Be Easily Financed
Once Open Door Into Troy
Is Secured.
WAY INTO CITY DESIRED

While 10 Troy Monday, President
George Il. Greene of the Bennington &
Hoosac Valley railway explained Ger
tain matters regarding the company's
proposed extension of its line to that
city He said:
1--WE would be glad to come into
Troy aud we hope some day to be able
to do SO. We are not particular as TO
tracks we would have to use while in
the city but, of course would prefer
tracks taking in the most thickly pop
ulated and consequently the most prof-
table. We have been asked whether
we would consider a route in the north
end of Troy which would serve remote
stress those in the 10th ward, between
Fifth and Ninth streets, and we have
also been asked if the proposed sale OF
new franchise in Troy would not aD-
peal to our company. We have reach
ed no conclusion on either subject. We
have, when discussing Troy connection
had in view lease OF track privilege
from the United Traction company af-
ter Il city line should be passed, but,
OF course, that, like the rest, was and
is but subject for consideration.
Mr. Greene said the Hoosac Valley
line Is at present doing very encour-
aging business. 1t is completed from
Bennington TO North Hoosac and the
patronage is steadily increasing.
"The embarrassment we had to con-
tend with year or more ago either
have or are Disappearing" said Mr.
Greene "Our earnings have increased
and our standing has been relatively
strengthened We are now in COM
muncation with people who are anx-
inus to finance the extension OF the
road from North Hoosac to Troy, a
distance OF 26 miles. They are willing
to advance the money If we give them
first mortgage, taking second mort
gage in our own name. Personally |
believe Troy connection would pay
and the same opinion is held by those
willing to finance the road, but we all
are of the belief that the first thing
needed is an open door TO the city. It
would be foolish for us to build to
the city line and be held up there. We
mean to make that plain to Assent
man Filley aud others who have asked
us if we would serve the remote streets
of the North End "
Mr. Greene also said demand for
bennington and Hoosac Valley bonds
has improved lately.
