WEEK OF COMIC
OPERA IN CAPITAL,
Popular Boston Ideal Opera Company
Plays Return Engagement-Tune.
full "Mikado" Opening Bill.

That Santa Fe theatre-goers are ap-
preciative and know good thing
when they see it, was evidenced last
night when large crowd turned out
upon the occasion of return engages
ment of the popular Boston Ideal
Opera company, which was the feat
ure attraction of the local theatrical
season last year. The opera house
was taxed to it's capacity and judging
from the advance sale of tickets big
audiences will be in attendance at
the four other shows to follow.
The opening bill was Sullivan"s
tuneful and rollicking Japanese music
al oddity, The Mikado,' which is one
of the best OF the older comic operas
which have weathered the seas Of
popular favor. Their production was
all that could have been desired all
things considered and especially from
a musical point of view. Miss Laura
Moore made dainty and charming
Yum YUM" while Fred Burgess was
inimitable in the funny role of "Ko-
ko." Ed. L. Weston who essayed the
part of "Nanka Poo" the Mikado's S
son disguised as wandering min
strel, has tenor voice of rare sweet
ness and volume, and shared with the
other principals in the generous ap-
plause. Miss Lillian Shattuck made
the most of the rather unenviable role
of "Katisha,' an elderly lady of the
Mikados court, and her voice made up
for any deficiencies decreed by the
author as to facial attractiveness. The
other parts were also in competent
hands and the performance as whole
we'll merited the genuine appreciation
| it received.
Martha" will be presented tonight
and "Olivette" at the matinee We'd
nesday. "Girofle-Girofla," another old
time favorite, will be given tomorrow
night by special request, and the ever
popular "'Chimes of Normandy" Thurs
day.
The Boston Ideal Opera company
was originally booked for just three
nights and matinee but as the troupe
lhad an open date Thursday, Manager
! Dettelbach concluded to have then
stay here over Thursday.

SELLS INTEREST
IN CLAIRE HOTEL
Thomas P. Gable Disposes of Same to
j. E. Lacome-Consideration
Not Made Public.

An important business change was
consummated in Santa Fe yesterday,
when Thomas P. Gable, one OF the
genial proprietors of the Claire hotel,
disposed of his interest in this popu-
lar hostelry to Joseph E. Lacome, who
has been associated with him for the
past three years in the management
of the hotel The consideration was
not made public, but as the hotel en-
joys a splendid patronage it is safe
to say it was a neat sum.
rs Mr.. Gable has not yet decided what
he will do, but that he will remain in
Santa Fe is certain, as he has proper
ty interests here which will require
his attention. He is in need of a rest
and for the present will lay aside the
cares of business.

ther than that my daughter and the

the duke and his family by reason
of the almost daily discussion of the
matter in the press and the constant
publication of rumors for SO long a
time--rumors which | venture to hope
will now cease"
In response to an inquiry as to how
we'll he was acquainted with the duke,
the senator said:
Not very well, but what know
and have heard of him | regard him
not only distinguished personality
by reason of his birth and position, but
added to this, he is an able man of
the highest character, a we'll known
explorer and scientist, one who has
done things and accomplished much,
besides being an efficient officer of
high rank in the navy of his country"

one on mixed ale' Closing Father
Curry admitted that the social settle
ments purged of their abuses and un
der proper Catholic administration
would be a good department of en-
deavor for the Catholic church.

new YORK LOST eARRtlS
Famous Michigan Athlete Now
Wearing Chicago Cherry
Circle.

New York, July 6.-John G. Garrels,
the great ali-around athlete of the Uni
versity of Michigan. not long ago had
feverish desire to become q New Yorker
and represent the n. Y. A. c. A we'll
known local athlete. who has seen much
of Garrels of late, brings the inside facts
and reasons why Garrels Is wearing the
Cherry Circle of Chicago. instead of the
Winged Foot of New York. and how
Gotham lost possibly the best athlete on
earth. Doubtless one OF Garrels' chief
reasons for wanting to come east to live
was the fact that here in the metropol-
itan district he would find ten times
more competitions to take part in than
in Chicago. In preparing for an Olympic
campaign this is big item.
Garrels, who is one of the smartest
young engineers ever graduated at Mich
igan, had job in the Union Pacific
shops. When the panic hit the railroads
the Union Pacific began to lay off men.
In his department Garrels was the very
last one to go. but finally he was
canned like the rest Upon being open
for engagement, Garrels- sought employ
ment in his line here, but was unsuccess-
full. After waiting some weeks Garrels
took position in Chicago. and IL was
not long after that the Chicago A. A.
people heard of his presence in their
city and laid siege successfully to the
lanky Michigander's athletic affections.
At present Garrels is in fine condition.

SIlER'S LAST LETTER
DECIDES SPOKANE BET

Spokane. Wash, July 11.-What is
claimed to be the last letter written by
the hand of George Siler. the veteran
referee, pugilist and sporting authority.
has been received by Fred H. CASTOR
of this city. incidentally. the stroke of
Siler's pen decides a bet in this city
which has perplexed many minds and
which has held some money tied up
since the famous Gotch- Hackenschmidt
wrestling match.
The letter was written on a single
sheet of copy paper taken to Mr.. Siler
from the Office of the Chicago Tribune
and is under date of June 8. 1t came
in answer to query put by Mr.. Gas
ton to decide bet between himself and
Otto Neidorfer, the we'll known billiard
player, as to whether Gotch would win
a fall.
The first information received here
after the big match was to the effect
that those who bet that Gotch would
win fall were entitled to the money.
Later reports from authoritative
sources, however indicated that those
who bet in this manner lost. Still
others maintained that all bets should
be declared off, as Hackenschmidt quit
to secure a fall.
To decide the local bets it was agreed
to leave it to George Siler. The eXect
copy of the decision follows:
Mr.. Fred CASTOR: Your letter of May
10 requesting my opinion regarding bets
on the recent Gotch-Hack wrestling
match came duly to hand. but have
been too i'll to answer ere this, so hope
YOU will excuse delay. Regarding the
bets, or rather whether or not Gotch
was entitled to a fall or falls. will state
Referee Ed. W. Smith decided that as
Hack quit, Gotch was rightfully en-
titled to two falls and the match, and
bets were paid on that decision. While
Gotch really did not succeed in gaining
a fall. ii must be borne in mind that
Hacks quitting did not give him a
chance to secure one. Therefore, those
who bet he would get a fall should not
lose their money, they were not
given a chance to win. and no man can
lose, in fair play rules, when he is not
given a chance to win. Hoping this
will answer your query. 1 am. respect
fully yours. GEO SlLER.

IS SAME OLD WADDElL
Sam Crawford Thinks Rube Is as

Sam Crawford, who has been playing
with and against Waddell off and on

Tom Lotus Grand Rapids team of 1899,
is one of the Waddell shouters.
The 'Rube' is the wonder of baseball

when he went to the slab Wednesday and
started pitching. | sized him up, and
blessed if / don't think he had ali the
steam and curves he had when he was
still a minor Lacquer and was just max
ing a name for himself.
Incidentally, the members of the A. l..
champions dwell most of all on Waddell :
mysterious composure. They went into
the game with the obvious intention OF
getting his ghost" Not a man reached
first base who did not level a taunt at
Waddell.
From the lines Jennings. Rossman and
the other coacners kept up continual
fire of repartee. Several times Umpire
Connolly called down the occupants of
the Detroit bench for their verbal shouts
at the big southpaw.
Once the game stopped while McAleer
objected to the tone of Jennings remarks
and an argument was in progress when
George Edwards came in to the plate
and abjured McAleer to never mind.
Let him yell his fool head off" said
the .Rube" He won't bother me any,
