fearless but not less beloved Indian,
Whose astuteness and faithfulness was
recognized and rewarded by the United
States government. Colonel Fremont
represents a fine old type of active and
war-scarred soldier. His daughter,
Mary, a Womanly maiden. whose BRAY
cry and love for truthfulness are char
acteristic of American women. Such
are a few of the prominent characters
the author has happily chosen as repre-
sentatives. together with a rascally
Mexican, a treacherous lieutenant, a
fun-loving negro and a witty Irishman.
A tribe of sixteen Indians from their
wild and picturesque homes, in native
costumes and war head dress, add
genuineness and attractiveness TO one
of the prettiest word paintings the stage
has ever seen.
The piece gained reputation during
the run of it in Chicago that has sell
dom been accorded any organization
playing the popular-priced houses.

"Thc Devil"

THE Devil a new play by Franz
Molnar, will be the attraction at the
Grand, starting tonight. The material
of the play, 10 be sure. is old-as old as
man, older than mans writings, and
infinitely older than mans writings. and
infinitely older than mans oldest play
acting-and it has been used in one
form or another time without number
But this new playwright has cast il in
a new form. he has retold 1t in new
manner the most ancient of all stories;
he has, in short, defied tradition and
modernized the devil The author has
made a devil one can understand. He
is polite, urbane; he has Travelled; he is
brilliant in speech, obliging, concilia-
tory, agreeable; he is attractive, insin-
uating. ingratiating, fascinating. He
lightly to his coal bill while he
flecks speck of dust
from his immaculate evening attire-or
perhaps a cinder.
The Devil" will be presented by the
Willis A Han company, which has pre-
sented this piece in the larger cities
with a great success.

Indications point toward greater aCtiy-
ity on the part OF the railroads in the
near future in the matter OF raising funds
for extensions and Improvements. Money
market conditions favor new. railroad
financing. and from the information gath
cred in leading banking houses the husi-
ness outlook IS considered promising
enough to warrant the development Of
plans for an increase in railroad facili-
ties. Railroads no longer are compelled
TO finance their requirements through the
issuance Of their notes They are able to
sell their bonds. and the prospects favor
a material addition to the amount Of rail-
way mortgage securities in the market in

HELPS CANADIAN FISHERIES.
American HntehinE of Whitehsh
Brings Dollars to Fishermen.

Consul H D Van SAINT. Of Kingston. IS
Of the opinion that Canadian fishermen in
Lake Ontario are profting largely from
the efforts Of the United States 10 keep
up the supply of whitefsh IN that body
OF water. This Is what he says:
From April 1 TO June 10. 12o099 white
FISH were shipped from Kingston 10 Cape
Vincent y Y During the same period
in 1s17 but 3o.009 were shipped from this
city 10 the same port. showing an in
crease this season Of 5000 shipped 10 the
United States This Is accounted for by
the increased output Of fry planted in
Eastern Lake Ontario by the United
States fish hatchery at Cape Vincent
AS the natural feeding ground Of the
whitefsh IS on the north shore Of Lake
Ontario, the fry planted in United States
waters swim over TO the Canadian side.
The oid-time Lake Ontario whitefish is
becoming exhausted. and the product Of
the American hatchery. usually Lake
Erie fry. which are Gistinguishable from
the ontario variety, are taking their
