 Cordova has the i distinction of having in her midst at present the
 oldest postmaster in the United States. He is c. H. Cope by name, and for 42 years he has held the
 office of post master at Kodiak, be- ing appointed in 1869. He came to Cordova as a witness in case that was to have come up before the grand jury, but he will now go on to Valdez and attend court there in December. The emoluments of his office have not yet been sufficient to permit Mir. Cope to retire and enjoy the balance ! of his days in idle luxury.
 The contest for Senator in this di
 vision continues close, with Col. Mill lard in the lead. The vote of Gold en, or Port Wells as the precinct is more famiarly known, does not give Baldwin vote, and thus puts Ray few votes ahead of him. Our totals are now as follows: Baldwin, 734; Tansey, 45S; Willard. 766; Ray. 7SS; German, 299; O'Neil, 276;. Bald wins vote is increased from yester- days totals because the vote of Res urrection sent us by the Prospector did not give Baldwin any votes. A wire from the Seward Gateway today states that he received g votes, and Ray 8 instead of ' as previously re- ported. The totals, as compiled by the Prospector, are as follows for the leaders: Willard, 766; Ray, 750; Baldwin, 722. Our contem- porary has evidently made other er- ros, as we'll as in the Resurrection re- turns. There are still five or six pre- cincts to from to the westward

to find an equal to it. There is all ways q strong interest in the west. but few plays have shown that life of the plains of twenty years ago as it really was, with its atmosphere of arid heat. strong passions and faithful friendships.
 MT. George Dill has succeeded Dus- tin Farnum in the title role. and is peculiarly suited to this character. Human emotion is shown at every turn, and yet it is handled delicate ly, so ably that there is not one dis cordant note to be found at any point. Throughout only absolute strength and virility. with clean-cut human passion and T certain ele- ment of self sacrifice upon which the play hinges. is to be found. So vital is the tale that runs athwart the stage, that the interest of the spectator is held as by spell. and the final curtain brings q satisfac- ton to the auditor that is hard to duplicate. It has been said that "The Squaw Man" is the great American play. but that question the audience is left to decide for itself.

THE EM PRESS.

Owing to the inclemencv of the weather last night. the audience that greeted the second performance of the Charity Ball' was not quite as larg. as usual since the advent of the Worlds Fair Stock company in Phoe nix. Those who did attend, however lacked nothing in enthusiasm, and certainly the actors gave a perform ance that would have been a credit to metropolitan company The Charity Ball' is a very dramatic play and gives an opportunity for intense dramatic work A few touches ol comedy are added when William Brunton as Alexander Robinson suc- ceeds in convincing the old judge tha, the woman to whom he has just pro- posed. has q cork leg.
 The players responded to numerous curtain calls. and again demonstrated that they are the most accomplished ThespianS that have ever stopped in Phoenix more than two days.
 The same bill will be presented al the matinee this afternoon and to- night and at Sunday nights perform ance.
