The Columbia stock Company in
"DipIOmacy"

An audience which filled every seat in
the playhouse marked the opening Of the
second week Of the post-season at the Co
| lumbla Theater last night
The play was Diplomacy" that mas
| terpiece OF Victorien Sardou, as given to
the English speaking stage by Belasco
and De Mile Without going too deeply
into the intricacles Of the plot, It is
enough to say that in points of absorbing
| interest, cleverness Of constructive detail,
strongly stirring episodes, and intensity
| Of numerous impressive climaxes this
| play stands almost unequaled I'm modern
times. Setting the mentality Of clever
man over against the shrewdness Of an
| INSCRIPTIONS woman, with a byplay
around the character Of those of lesser
/ caliber. the play is consistently built up
/ from a somewhat slow foundation to
moving drama of thrilling action; and
the wonder Of II all is in observing how
the playwright constantly and adroitly
shifts the interest. and then brings Il
back with redoubled force TO the main
| theme
Another force at work last night was
| the cast of extraordinary celebrity. en-
| bracing Wilton Lackaye. Hilda Spong,
and Charlotte Walker. all favorites in this
| city, supported by an excellent company,
the majority Of which enjoy the same
distinction. the entire force uniting in a
performance Of smoOthness remarkable
for first nights effort.

| Hida Spong. who appeared as Countess
Zicka. The role is pregnant with oppor-
Itunity, and she was fully equal 10 the ex-
igency, the emotional scenes being espe-
cially marked by telling method Of re-
tpressiOn and her whole work evidencing
a clear comprehension Uf the makeup Of
| the adventures. who. beneath all her
Idupicity. had the simple soul Of n woman.
Mr.. Wilton Lackaye gave a striking inn
IpersOnation OF Henry Beauclerc. the Eng
/ llsh master of diplomacy, his striking
lpTesenCe, fine voice. and convincing
/ method all contributing toward creating
the effect intended by the author in maxi

/ spite tie fact that he figures not in the
/ love element.
| Miss Charlotte Walker was as fasci-
/ mating as ever In the role Of Dora, act
/ ing with intelligence, enhanced by SUI
! pcrior personal charms. and Mr. Walter
/ Howe made a conspicuous success as
| Count Orloff, being especially strong in
| the scene In the second act in which he
/ figures with the Be8uclere Brothers. In
/ fact, his acting at this point was the most
| powerful Of all In giving success to this
| remarkable situation.
Others who aided In the performance
| with material efforts were Guy Nichols.

The MaJestic-The Great Northwest.

The Great Northwest was the at
traction that drew a large audience at
the Majestic yesterday afternoon and
evening. While the production does not
compare with the play presented last
week, il was adequate enough to ex-
ploit the abilities of the different members
of the company. and applause often
greeted the members Of the cast during
the performance The scenic and me-
chanical effects were not as they might
have been, owing, perhaps, 70 the lack
Of rehearsal Nevertheless the perform
ance was. from some standpoints, a sue
cess, and as the play progresses and the
mechanical effects are running more
smoothly the play will be a typical Pur-
nell show.

established herself as favOrite and her
appearance on the stage is always the
occasion for an enthusiastic outburst Of
applause Miss Florence Hill was a

hit as the nervy and OutspOken New

Every town In the country. almost. now
has a pressing club" which contracts to
press and clean all ones outer clothing
for a certain amount per mOnth-usually
$l-with no limitation on the number Of
times the clothes are TO be pressed. The
crease in Uncle Sans trousers has been
much neater and more distinct since the
beginning of pressing clubs. A boy work
ms in a tailor's shop in an Iowa town
was kept busy only part OF the time
pressing suits OF clothes for 20 cents
each. He had an idea. He calculated how
many suits Of clothes he could press If he
were kept busy all the time He calcu-
lated what il would cost, his own wages
being s. a week Then he startled the
townsmen by going around offering to
press clothes for 81 a month, called for
and delivered" Some people thought him
foolish. but when his pressing club had
grown until it had 500 members they real
lied that a good many apprentices at s. a
week may be hired for $500 a month and
leave handsome profit besides. From
that beginning the pressing club scheme
spread all over the country in a remark

WESTERNERS IN
 COPPER COUNTRY
Unsettled Conditions in Southwest Is Causing Miners to Go to Northern Michigan - Hoped that Conditions
 Will Be Relieved by Influx of Miners.

Large numbers of western people have come to the local mines owing to the strike which is OF in Bsbee. Large numbers of the miners who have been working in the west since coming to America have pulled up stakes and are now arriving daily in northern. Michi- gan, says the Houghton Mining Ga zette.
 No less than eight of these people arrived on one train this week whie it has been impossible to keep track of the others. One of the men was talked with and stated that he intended writing to his friends who had remained behind for information as to the oppor- tunities to be had in this district The gentleman stated that he intended com municating with his friends at once and would advise them to start for the copper country as soon as pos sible.
 In speaking of the strike situation in the west the miner stated that from the opinions formed by many of the northern Michigan people, there had been but one side of the story told.
 He states that conditions are so un- settled that he thought it advisable to try his luck in the great copper mines of Michigan and accordingly his family arrived with him. He states further that every train leaving the west is bringing miners to other districts while northern Michigan will receive her share.
 This should relieve matters somewhat as to the scarcity of men in this coun- try and the question which has been bothering the labor markets should be a much easier one to solve. These re- turning miners are sending word to their friends to return to tho copper country Local contractors are optim. istic with this prospect.

Money, 2A per cent.
lBy Il. II. Brn Col

GLOBE, April 26.--The stock market showed considerable activity during the day Prices remained about the same all day, but looks like it shows strong upward tendency. A report comes that there is much bear money left in Wall street, and it might be expected that the market will be attacked from time to time, but think the bulls are hold ing the floor. On reactions we still be. ieve the market can be bought so as to make good money and quick turns made.
 There is some information given out that a rich strike was recently made on No. 10 vein in Nipissing, and this ae- counts for the activity in the stock. If this is correct, it is sure thing that this stock will step upwards.
 The Arizona National per cent eou- per bond with a stock bonus is a good investment
