FRANK DANIELS CAREER
Jovial Comedian Went on the Stage
After Studying
Music.

Beginning his professional career as
the sheriff in 'The Chimes OF Norman
dy." in 1879. at the age of 1s. Frank
Daniels already had a record OF many
successes scored as an amateur
Strange as it may seem to thOs who
know Mr.. Daniels only as comedian,
he possesses a baritone voice which
has been thoroughly trained. While stu
lying wood engraving in Boston MI
Daniels became interested in the the
atre. He took up voice culture at the
New England Conservatory of Music,
studying under the late John p. O'Neill,
who always declared that Mr.. Daniels
would have succeeded upon the stage
by virtue of his voice alone if he had
not been possessed of any ability as a
comedian.
1t took Mr.. Daniels just five years to
come up from an unimportant part to
real stardom, and in 1884 he was seen
as Old Sport in "A Rag Baby" 1t was
in this play that he sang Let Me Shake
the Hank that Shook the Hand of Sui
livan,' a song which was sung all over
the country. So great was his success
in this play that he was admitted to
partnership in the producing firm of
Hoyt & Thomas, which thereupon be-
came Hoyt, Thomas & Daniels.
In 1887 Mr.. Daniels was seen as Pack
ingham Giltedge in Little Puck" a
role which he played almost contin-
uously for seven years. After a season
in Princess Bonnie" he appeared as
Kibosh in 1.-The Wizard of the Nile
after which followed 1.-The Idols Eye
and '"The Ameer." In 1903 he presented
Miss Simplicity" In 1900 he created
the title role in 1.-THE Office Boy"
which had its premiere in Washington.
Since then he has been seen in 1.-THE
Tattooed Man. and in Hook Of Hol-
land"
In every play In which he has APP
peared Mr.. Daniels has interjected
many comical lines and situations, and
it is said that he has had the chief
| hand In Americanizing his present We
hicle, THE Belle of Brittany"

man wanted it. When the ceremony
was over, the young couple waited, in
stead of leaving the chancel. So the
bishop held out his hands, shook hands
with the bride, and then held his hand
out to the groom. He had his hand deep
in his trousers pocket, and as the bish-
Op stood with his hand out, he said,
somewhat impatiently, and in a tone
that could be heard all over the church:

fast as I can

Domesticity in Theatrical Life
Call of the Curtain Does Not Always overshadOw the Call
Cradle.

1t is all a mistake to think that do
mesticity does not figure in the life of
actresses, or that the call of the curtain
overshadows the call of the cradle in
the lives of women who seek stage ca
reers. Love of home life and its attend
ing joys is as strong among those Of the
profession as it is in that of any other
walk of life, and while ii may be ad-
mitted that there are hundreds of girls
who adopt the stage to be surrounded
with the glare and glamour of the foot
lights, with it's accompanying excite
ment and frivolities, there are other
hundreds who enter upon stage work
for arts sake alone, and to whom the
fiattery and attention Of the ever-pres-
ent stage-doOr Johnny does not appeal
or degrade. To such as these the love
of home life is ever dominant, and their
department is as careful when on the
road as when in the bosoms Of their
families
But how can actresses live domes-
tiee life some will ask. They travel
all the time-here today, gone tomOr-
row; all their possessions in small
trunk, and when that is opened in their
hotel room there is hardly enough space
to swing a cat" That's the way the
frivolous ones live. But it is different
with the earnest worker. She plans for
comfort when not at her stage duties,
and this is the way she finds 1t. At
least it's the way a quartet of girls in
George NJ. Cohan's 1.-THE Yankee
Prince" company find 1t.
They are Aggie and Mamie Gildea and
Lila and Marjorie Rhodes, and they
live comfortably, very comfortably, on
the road by following this plan. When
the company gets into city where the
gagement is for four or more weeks,
which. often happens in New York, Phil
adelphia and Chicago, these girls seek
out a furnished apartment, which can
be secured at a reasonable figure. The
rent must not exceed $45 per month. and

DAM AT WALNUT
 GROVE MAY BE REBUILT
CFrom Saturdays Daily

Former Supervisor A. A. Moore, who arrived here yesterday from his home in Walnut Grove, says that an engin- cer arrived from New York at the site of the old Walnut Grove dam last week and has taken charge of the camp. He is engaged in making pre- liminary surveys for a new dam. The residents of the district believe that construction work on the new dam will be commenced before many months.
 Since the former dam was destroyed in February, 1890, over $15O,O00 has been expended in doing annual assess ment work and maintaining the title to the holdings of the Walnut Grove Water Storage Company. Following the death of the largest shareholder of the company, the title to the property passed to a resident of New York last year. The improvements made in dO- ing the last assessment work are per manent in character. Heavy rock ma ehinery was installed last year after the passing of the title and the policy of the new owner indicates that the construction of the dam will be well under way before the time arrives to make any further annual expenditures for the continuation of the title.
 The construction of the dam will be followed by a great impetus in the mining industry in the districts tribu- tary to it. Besides impending water for placer mining operations and irri- gation purposes, a hydro-eleetrie plant will be built that will furnish power to mining companies and individuals, whose properties are now idle on ae- count of the great cost of fuel, incl dent on the scarcity of wood for fuel and the distance from railroad facili- ties.

REFRIGERATION MINING.

The annual meeting of the Shattuek- Arizona Mining Company was neld in Bisbee, and all of the old directors were reelected. A number of stock holders represented by Attorney George Neale asked for information regarding the sale of 100000 shares of treasury stock some months ago and were in formed that it had been partly paid for in cash and part by notes. Upon their being very insistent, the direct ors promised to prepare a detailed statement showing what notes were stil held and submit it to the stock holders in the near future.
 A visit was made to the mine the following day and the new ore strike examined. This strike was at a dis tanee of 15O feet from the strike made some months ago, and it is believed that it is the same body of ore. The ore encountered is an oxide and was found on the 6OO-foot level at dis tanee of 135 feet from the shaft.

SWEDES AND DANE :. BATTLE ON TRAIN
Gore Flows COpiouSly While Tourist
 Paints
(From Tuesday's Dailyl

Two inebriated Swedes were badly worsted in a series of fights on the sou;hbound train between Jerome June ton and this city last night by na- tive of Denmark. The floor of the smoking car was red with the gore of the beaten men when the train ar rived here. The fraeas grew out of a dispute over the physical strength and prowess of natives of Sweden and Den mark. The Swedes, who were in the majority, maintained that a Swede was a Swede anywhere and could whip a Dane at any mark in the road The Dane retorted that a Dane could whip a Swede any old time in the day or night and proved that he was right by knocking out both of his adver- saries.
 Adding to the excitement in the smoker was the fainting of a Chicago tourist, wh had over-indulged in rum in the Windy City before his departure for the southwest, according to the statement of one of his companions. The man fell in a swoon when the great Dane knocked his first Swede over three seats.
 During an armistiee after the arriv- al of the conductor and brakeman, the tourist was revived with a liberal ap- plication of wa IT on his feverish brow.
 A renewal of hostilties followed the conductors departure for the hind end, when the second Swede was put to sleep in a collision with the Dane s head, which lifted his chin in the air coweatcher fashion.
 Another armistice and renewal of the fight followed the second departure of the conductor, who was busily en- gagged punching tickets. In the third round both Swedes went to sleep in rough and tumble bout which for a few minutes threatened to jar the ear from the track.
 The great Dane embarked from the train after its arrival in this city. The beaten Swedes continued on their way south.
 The men were employed as concrete mixers at Jerome Junction by the $. F. p & P. They were discharged yes terday and awaiting, the arrival of the train indulged freely in intoxieants at a local resort.

RICH GOLD ORE. IN THE WEAVER <
 DISTRICT
Specimens of Native Gold Large And
 Snowy
tFrom Tuesdays DaiIyl

With samples of gold ore of remark able richness, Andrew Peterson arrived here yesterday from his group of mines in the Weaver district. The ore was uncovered a few days ago in a shallow shaft on one of his seven pat ented claims which cover the extension of the Octave series of veins and ad- join the holdings of the Octave Mining Company on the east.
 To the naked eye the samples ap- pear as rich in the yellow metal as any seen from the new strike in the liar cuvar mountains near Salome. The pieces and speeks of gold are larger than any seen in the specimens taken from the Harcuvar strike. The rich rock was found in a large ore body which carries high grade milling values.
 The discovery was made by Peter son. It is located near where ore sim liar in character and very rich in gold was uncovered last year. The Peter son group is under bond to Ed Zeiger of Congress Junction, who is preparing to start active development. Mir. Pet erson said yesterday that he bonded the properties to Zeiger, being without means to develop the ledge to any con siderable depth on account of water. There is 1900 feet of development on the seven claims, consisting of tunnels and shafts.
 Miners familiar with the ground do not hesitate to say that it is equally as promising as the Octave was in the same stage of development and will prove with development as great a gold producer as the latter.
 The Octave mine is developed to depth of nearly 1000 feet. It has an enviable record as a gold producer.
 MT. Peterson and MT. Zeiger left last night for their homes, after trans acting some important mining business here.
