"Mary Stuart" Presented to A Oeat Audience Last Night. Butte City (Montana) Daily Miner. The lest audieuce of the week assembled last niht to witness Janauschek's matchless performance of the unfortunato Scottlsch Queen. There Is a largeness and breadth In her Impersonations that make one thiuk of the old Greek days of vast arenas ami heroic mold. Janauschek has not playmi during the week with more impressive power. In the inter view with the Queen, in the early part of the p'ay, she was grand, but when iu the depths of her proud despair tho doomed and forsaken ScoUisch Queen was presented to them the audience waa thoroughly moved. Few have had the privilege of witnessing so fine a display of dramatic power as that which immediately prec-ded the fall nf the curtain. Xever was an encore more richly deserved than that Madam Janauschek was forced to respond to at the close of the evening. Her costumes were magnificent and well accorded with the character. The other member of the company were fully up to their usual standard of excel eucc. The Queen Elizabeth of Miss Helen Rand, was a lino performance for one f her youth. Miss Nelson ami Miss Hsggor were admirable in their respective parts. Lord B lrleigh wis well played by Frank Clements. George D Chaplin gave an effective represen tation nf Lord Leicester. A 11 Stuart was a successful! Sir Edward Mortimer. Oglen Stevens' Sir Panlot was nil that was required. The o istuines were rich and in thorough keep ing with the play, Crow Items. June .10, 13SS.

Health of Jews One noticeable feature about Jowish ceme teries in tho south is the scarcely of newly made graves after an epidemic of cholera or yellow fever. Statistics show that fewer of them die than any other race from these or kindred diseases. During the cholera scourge in Toulon only two orthodox Jews (lied of it, while in number they equalled fully 20 per cent nf tho population. Their immunity from di-oase, ami the certainty with which they recover when attacked by It, is ac counted for by the simplicity of their diet. Thoy nro very strict about following tho dietary laws proscribed by Moses. Isn't it n liltle Mriiiire that Moses, if he was only a historian, should have possessed knowledge superior to that of the wisest and best phy sicians of the pre tout day? He evidently believed in preventing disease rather than curing it. This is what Do Haven's Dys pepsia Cure aims to do; it acts directly on the digestive juices of the stomach and both prevents and cures Indigestion and Dyspep sia. Free sample bottles at Osburn & Co's drug store. A Man Goes Over the Falls And disappears beneath the foaming billow. Yesterday afternoon about half-past 2pm a fine looking, well-dressed gentleman was seen walk ing ucross the suspension bridge with a cigar in bis TU'iuth, Binoking quite leisurely. There was nothing strange iu his manner, and the many people on the bridge thought of nothing wrong until they saw him leap from the bridge over the railing, into the mighty waters beneath. The penitle on the bridge were awe struck nml powerless to render him any assist ance, and with feelings of deep sorrow and and tears in their eyes they stood silently watching him as he struggling with the rurh ing waters, and was carried into the roaring cataract, they noticed that he wss still puffing away at one of the famous "Tansill Punch Cigars, Havana-filled, which he purchased of Osburn & Belshaw for only 5 cents. Mr. Jefferson Land Suns. Last Tues day a most remarkable land slide took place. It seems that at a point about fifty miles from Mehama the side of Mt Jefferson slouched off a vast quautity ot earth into the main Santiain, and obstructed the river. The water backed up behind this dam until the tups of the tallest pine and fir trees wero hidden beneath the surface of this vast reservoir. When the water began to flow over the slide it became as muddy as it could be. A great many people were picking blackberries in that region, which are, by tho way, quite plentiful. But when they s iw tho Santiain river dry, they began to think that matters looked a little dangerous iu tho neighborhood of Mt Jefferson, so they left. I listory furnishes but few snch instances, ami the Santiain falls may yet become as tinted as any of those of Yo.-einite. Tkb O. P. Railroad.
