Local music-lovers will be pleased
90 learn that there is a likelihood of a
visit from the famous New York Sym
phony orchestra, under MI Walter
Damrosch. as one of the features OF
the coming season. Negotiations are
now pending to bring the organization
here, and apparently there is an ex-
ceIlent chance of q favorable termina-
ton.
No conductor in this country is bet
ter known than Walter Damrosch. For
twenty years he has been spreading
the gospel of music. and to him more
than any other leader is credit due for
the growth of musical appreciation IN
America. He is especially 1denuueu
with the movement to make popular
the music dramas of Wagner and the
works of other famous composers, who
hitherto had received little encourage
ment.

Frank Labor, the Clever Comedian APP
pearing IN Coming Thro' the Rye"

1T does not conform to any con-
ventionaI classification, for it is neither
musical comedy nor drama, yet it is a
refreshing novelty that combines the
good features of both"
1.-THE play is as chock full OF fun as
an egg IS of meat. The company is
large and excellent and every member
is happily chosen. While most of the
comedy is given to Mr.. Frank LaIor, he
divides with everybody else and par
/ ticularly with Miss Stella Mayhem,
who sings as well as May Irwin, looks
as good as Lillian Russell and is as
good natured as Fay Templeton."
Mr.. Lalor's fun is refined and 50
quiet that it is entirely novel. There
are no green Whiskers, no slap sticks,
no boisterous persifage, and no gro
/ tesque exaggeration in Mr.. Lalor's
work on the stage. It is all clean and
fine and wholesome and it would make
an iron dog laugh
There are two things about the
chorus that are remarkable. In the
+ first place every single one can sing,
and what is still more strange. the
girls are exceedingly pretty to look
upon. word for the chorus men.
4 They are not bit like the knock
/ kneed m2nikins of the ordinary musi-
cal show. They look human and act it.
! too. Altogether, Coming Thro' the
4 Rye IS refreshing and genuine.

Washington, Dee IA. Efforts are

with i view To the Government regain
ing possession Of the thousands Of acres
Of coal land in Wyoming which passed
to the ownership OF the Union Pacific
Railroad company Of companies con.
trolled by it, through alleged frauds
against the United States, The whole
matter has been submitted To Judge
Campbell Assistant Attorney General
for the Interior Department. Evidence
secured by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which is inquiring into the
relations Of certain railroad companies
with the coal and oil industries, tend to
show that the Union Pacific, by using
dummy entrymen. secured large tracts
Of land underlaid with coal in violation
of the laws governing the disposal Of
the public domain. These disclosures
were made at sessions held in Salt Lake
City, ut which Commissioner Clark pre-
sided. The Indications are that in day

first step iii the criminal legal proceed
ings contemplated, evidence collected
BY him against officials Of the Union
Pacific and probably others more or
less prominent in public life.
