GREAT CORNISH TENOR IS
COMING HERE THIS MONTH

Local theater goers are looking for
ward with considerable anticipation to
the appearance here during the latter
part of this month of Richard Jose,
the celebrated Cornish tenor. Mr..
Jose came to Calumet six or seven
years ago with a minstrel show and
made many friends among the local
Engishmen. Since then he has risen
to the front rank among the singers
on the American stage. He now heads
his own company presenting n play
of New England life, written especial
y for him by Martin V. Merle enti-
tied "Silver Threads. In this play
Mr.. Jose appears as Ben Laurie the
pride of the little New England viii
lage in which the scenes are laid.
whose occupation is that of black
smith, but who devotes a great por-
ton of his time to singing; he being
a member of the little church choir
and a prime factor i'm the promotion of
ments. one of which is in progress
during the third act of the play where
excellent opportunity is afforded Mr..
Jose to sing some of the old songs
for which he is famous. as well as
sacred hymns which he renders with
organ accompaniment from the loft
of the church. The construction of
the play is such that the singing be-
comes n part of the plot and story,
and are not i'm any way introduced as
specialties.
Mr.. Jose last season surrounded
himself with strong supporting COM
pany picked from the notable profess
SIGNALS of New York. He has retain
ed the original cast and spared no ex-
pense in perfecting the details of the
scenic investiture and furnishings
which are noteworthy of the produce
ton. The play is yet young. now in
its second season. but It is predicted
by critics and public to become as
popular as "The Old Homestead" and
way Down East" a sit contains the
atmosphere and character. at the same
time being in no way similar in
theme. The more serious situations
are relieved by strong vein OF
bright comedy introduced i'm nat
ural manner.

1.-THE VOLUNTEER ORGANISE"
Small Audience Witnesses Play at the
Calumet Theater.

The volunteer Organist" was the
bill at the Calumet theater matinee
and evening on Saturday and although
the attendance at the matinee was
large, there was a small audience for
the evening presentation.
While the play itself. which was
presented here for the first time. gave
evidence OF wonderful possibilities.
there was hint of the amateur I'm the
manner of producing II and the effect
was not what IL should have been. In
q word the play was overdone and the
che racters failed to impress one as
being natural. This was true of those
i'm the leading as well as in the minor
roles.
Phil Mccarthy in the role of Ebb
Utter, leading musician of the village
of Cambridge. VT, Miss Gladys Gro
Illus as Grace Barrett and Thomas
Carroll as landlord Scott, the viii
lage postmaster, were the most salts

good particularly in The famous

Golden renders his solo. "The Holy
City" in delightful manner.

CONTRACT TO LAURiUM MAN.
Frank Myers VIII Build Stable for
County of keweenaw.

The board of supervisors OF Ke-
weenaw county held a special meet
ing on Wednesday and looked over the
bids for the construction Of a barn for
the county. says the Keweenaw Miner.
There were three bidders. they being
+. j. Thielman, Frank Bieswanger and
Frank Myers. Mr.. Myers was the low
est bidder. at $1.S5O.00 and there was
less than $1,000 between the highest
and lowest bid.
The old barn and carriage shed will
be removed and the new structure will
go up the same site as the old one.
This is an Improvement that has been
badly needed for some time.
The board empowered County Clerk
Kaiser to enter into a contract with the
Michigan Telephone company for the
stringing of a new telephone line for
the use of the county. This is some
thing there has been crying need for.
for 10, these many years, as there Is
often need of a private line between
the county officers and offices of the
attorneys of this and the adjoining
county. At present this is an impos-
sibility, owing, to the fact that there
are no less than nine telephones ON
the line which connects with the court
house. When the new line has been
strung. there will be not more than
two telephones on the lines, one at the
court house and one at the residence
of County Clerk Kaiser.

PICTURES DRAW CROWD.
Film of Jeffries johnson Fight To Be
Shown Toniqht.

Picture films of the Jeffries-J John
son fight at Reno, Nevada, July 4th
will be shown at the Palestra this
evening.
Concerning the exhibition of these
pictures at Marquette last Friday. the
Marquette Mining Journal says
1T would appear from the pictures
that the charge that Jeffries laid
down" I'm the latter part of the fight
is without foundation. From the first
round to the finish the pictures show
that Johnson was quicker on his feet,
tat he used the better ring generalship,
and after the first few rounds IL is
evident that Johnson is destined to
win, barring chance blow from jeff
ries. Nevertheless, Jeffres fought
gamely throughout and in the four
teenth round forced the fighting un-
til his leg muscles gave out. In the
fifteenth and final round, he fell an
easy prey to Johnson's terrific face
blows. Johnson's superior ring gen.
eralship is shown by his success in
ending each roumnd at or near his own
corner.
Among the most enjoyable of the
pictures are those showing the city
of Reno, the arrival of the crowds,
close hand views of the principal
buildings and streets. all or which are
thronged with people. There are nu-
merous scenes at Jeffries' training
quarters, in which the boiler maker is
shown sparring with his trainers. and
also characteristic pictures of the ma
ny prominent pugilists at the Jeffries
camp. Numerous views of the i'm
mense crowd at the ring side and the
events Immediately preceding the big
battle were also very interesting. All
of the pictures were carefully explain
ed by a lecturer, who accompanies the
fight pictures from city TO city.

FREIGHT CAR BROKEN into
and ROBBED OF CONTENTS

Some time during last night or ear
ly this morning a freight car i'm the
local yards of the Mineral Range road
was broken into and packages and
boxes rifled of their contents. Mar
shall Joseph Trudell and Special Oni-
Ger Beck were notified of the burglary,
and after inspecting the car started
out on a still hunt for the culprits.
1t is understood that the officers
have little or no clue to work upon.
1t is a difficult matter as yet to as
certain just what articles were stolen.
until an inventory of the goods re-
ceived has been made by the shipper
or consignee.
Entrance was effected through
breaking the seal OF the car. The
rest was easy. AS far as can be
CLEANED. no suspicious persons were
seen lettering around the railroad
yards last night. However the officers
will make exhaustive inquiries with a
view to securing evidence that will
land the parties behind the bars.
Supt. Smith of the Mineral Ranhge
road Informed The News this morn
ing that this is not the first burglary
that the road has had to contend with.
Frequently freight cars are found
broken open. An effort is to he made
to stop this petty thieving locally and
arrests are likely To follow.

COUNTfRFE|TS
FROM CANADA
SPURIOUS COIN BEING CIRCU'
LATED. CONDUCTOR VAUGHN
OF SOUTH SHORE POINTS
OUT DEFEc

Conductor Dan Vaughan, of the
South Shore road, who is mayor OF the
city of Marquette. displayed a counter
felt Canadian silver" quarter this
morning, which he recently received
along with other coins in payment of
railroad fares.
The counterfeit quarter is the exact
counterfeit OF the genuine Canadian
quarter, with the exception that on the
reverse side from the head of King
Edward the counterfeit coin has the
crown sign i'm its normal or proper po-
sition as If resting on the head. while
the genuine coin in the same posi-
ton the crown is shown upside down.
Conductor Vaughan states that he
believes that 50-cent and 25-cent Ca
madam spurious coins are being cir
culated broadcast throughout the up
per peninsula. He states that it is
his belief that the coins are being
molGod and coined i'm Canada, and are
being struggled over the border into
this country and placed i'm circulation
here instead of i'm Canada.
Conductor Vaughan has seen quite
number of these spurious coins late
ly. The counterfeit coin has n lighter
ring than the genuine article, but this
Is not enough to test the genuineness
Of the coin The sure test is the posi-
ton of the small crown on the reverse
side. Evidently the counterfeiters in
making their dies overlooked this small
but every important feature, and thus
left loophole for detection.

That the Detroit wholesale business

Detroit trade in the upper PENN

Of the time. say the live business men

their upper peninsula selling forces
after the trip. putting on more men
and arranging to have one or more
representatives reside i'm upper pen

the least waste I'm travelling hours,
to the northern section.
Edison, Moore &c Co., wholesale dry
goods, have gone the farthest. IL is
said, in upper peninsular trade or

after the trip a selling department

that the copper country is closely con-

than that served from Calumet, there

manager has to do some travelling
from which the Calumet manager Is
free. But it is a glowing station and
