THE BUTTE INTER MOUNTAIN MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1902. The Value of DAILY INTER MOUNTAIN Issued Every Evening, Except Sunday. INTER MOUNTAIN PUBLISHING CO. tion. Like all great men, he has his advisors, and their counsels are duly weighed; but should they not accord with his views, Roosevelt, like Lincoln, acts upon his own convictions.

The secret of the success of this class of men is to be found in their self-confidence. That guide is so highly developed that it has become as a sixth sense, an intuition which serves unfailingly to keep them in the direction of right and justice. Roosevelt never asserts his superiority, and when he receives men at the White House on receptions he mingles with the humblest citizen as his brother, on even terms. When he works, and that is always, he throws himself body and soul into the task. Recently, when considering the great strike, Roosevelt was both miner and operator, so that during the conference he amazed both parties with the intimate appreciation that he had of the various sides of the question.

If there is anything that he would know, he docs not hesitate to ask questions of those who are informed. In him the rising generation will find a fitting example for emulation. Not that we would have a whole nation of Theodore Rooscvelts, but that we would have a greater dissemination of his invigorating qualities. French critics, viewing their national degeneracy with alarm, are preaching Roosevelt far and wide. His example they have called "La vie intense," or the strenuous life.

that has not been Introduced on the Eastern vaudeville stage. The musical alarm clocks constitute the new feature, and are original with the Goolmans. It is a clever idea, but the entertainers miss a great opportunity by not having them play "Please Go 'Way and Let Me Seep." It would be singularly appropriate and could scarcely fail to make a decided hit. Hermann will repeat his performance at the Broadway this evening. "The Stowaway." "The Stowaway," in which "Spike" Hen nessy, the reformed burglar, made his debut years ago, opened at the Grand Opera house last night to a large audience.

The play is one of the old-time melodramas, such as thrill one to the very quick, and there is a quick succession of events that never permit the interest to flag. Last night's audience at the Grand was rewarded by a good show, and the actors were accorded liberal applause. The inevitable villain complicated matters continually, but the ever-present hero came on just in time to straighten out the kinks, and when the curtain fell on the last act every one went home well pleased. The company presenting "The Stowaway" is an adequate one, and evidences considerable dramatic ability. Saville and Frank, in their respective parts, are up to the standard.

Gus Tate, who does the funny work as Dicky Dials, gets many a laugh out of the audience. The Misses McKay, Wright and Lamont, who compose the feminine contingent, are pretty and pleasing at all times. "The Stowaway" will continue at the Grand tonight and tomorrow night. It is worth seeing and will certainly enjoy good patronage at the hands of Butteites. PEOPLE WE MEET.

1 1 the use of electricity in mining," said William Wallace of Idaho, today, "is furnished by the mines of the famous Comstock lode in Neveda. That vein of gold and silver starts over at an angle of about 45 degrees from a vertical plane. Shafts sunk at different points in the neighborhood tapped it at depths varying from 1,000 to 3,500 feet. In the period between 1872 and 1882 one single company took out about $150,000,000. The whole lode has yielded nearly most of that amount being produced in the decade just indicated.

Owing to the exhaustion of the Electricity richer ores in 1882 and to in the trouble in properly drain- Comstock. inS the mines, work was abandoned on them, and an accumulation of water permitted Eventually the Sutro tunnel, four and a half miles long, opened up an outlet for much of this. Within a few years mining has been resumed, capitalists being satisfied with ores of lower value than those which created such a sensation more than a quarter of a century ago. These are believed to be exceedingly abundant, and the mines are now worked at a reasonable profit. "Some idea of the cost of power there in the old days may be gathered from the fact that the ore was carried 15 miles from mine to mill, and that the latter was run by water brought to it by a flume 40 miles in length.

Today power is brought all the way to the mine from the Truckee river, 30 miles off. At the generating station two 1400-horsepo'wer water wheels of the turbine type have been installed, and these drive separate dynamos. The turbines are automatically governed. Merely for transmission over the intervening country a pressure of 22,000 volts is employed. The current is generated at 500 volts, raised by 'step-up' transformers to the figure just named and reduced to 450 volts.

It is at the latter pressure that the various pumping, hoisting and air compressing motors are run. So cheap is the power thus supplied that work can be done far more economically than ever before." the millionaire and foremost democratic boss. Butler is under another indictment, and' it charges him with the bribery of mem-i bers of the St. Louis municipal assembly' in connection with a lighting The attempted bribery of which he stands convicted relates to garbage whose cost was recently run up from $65,000 a year to $130,000 a year, without any known increase of service. The present municipal authorities yielded to this outrageous imposition with the faofclei remark: "What could we do?" 'Jat! riiotto is not in Mr.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, The final increase of wages by the Pennsylvania Railroad company include 100,000 men. This is practical benevolence and good business sense combined.

In addition to this distribution of millions annually among employes, the Pennsylvania is booked to spend $200,000,000 in various improvements and new projects within the next few years. One-fourth of this sum will be expended in constructing the tunnel under the North river and the new central station in New York city. The South has not been especially favorable to the trust idea, but it seems to be coming around to take another view. The turpentine people recently went into a big combination, having found that they could increase their production, reduce their expenses and yet not reduce the wages of their laboring men. Now Jacksonville grocers have formed a combination.

This is not a combination of manufacturers, but is more in the nature of an experiment. It is not likely to work out as well as an industrial combination, but its development or disintegration will be watched with interest. Judge Madden of the district court of Emporia, has decided that a man has the right to bury his wife alive. The case was the city of Emporia vs. Professor Vanora et an injunction being asked to prohibit the professor giving an exhibition of hypnotism by burying his wife under ground and leaving her buried six days.

The city claimed the exhibition endangered life. The hypnotists claimed the city had no right to draw a distinction against this kind of exhibition. To the lay mind it becomes interesting to know what the legal status would be should the woman, at the expiration of her term under ground, be found to be dead. Could the husband be held for murder, or would he go quit because the killing was done by sanction of the district court? The death of Herr Krupp, the great gunmaker, is a distinct loss to the world, and Germany especially will feel his taking off. He made more than guns to destroy human life.

Ilis was the greatest industrial establishment in Germany, and lie was not only the largest employer of labor in the empire, but he was an employer who was constantly striving to Letter the condition of the He did much for the cause of humanity, but this did not protect him from an outrageous attack in a newspaper only a short lime before his death. Probably this attack did not hasten his death, as it was believed at first that it did, but it was so wanton and brutal that it is likely to result in the destruction of the business of the paper, so that the crime will bring its own punishment. Herr Krupp employed at times close to 50,000 men, and although few of them ever saw hiin, they were constantly feeling the influence ef his sympathy with the laboring people. ROOSEVELT. As an individual, Theodore Roosevelt is one of the remarkable men of the time.

He is a distinct type, and in reality a prototype. All countries have their leaders who embody the natural characteristics of the mass of people. Some of them are the great men of the past, who serve as examples to the nation, because the present affords no man of particular greatness. Take England, France, Spain, and any number of European countries, their foremost men today are not cynosure of the world nor do they exert any particular influence beyond the boundaries of their own But Theodore Roosevelt is known in all civilized lands, and his words and deeds are commented on as freely abroad as home. What he undertakes, is pushed to a conclusion.

Though a man of the people, his accomplishments have the stamp of individuality. His political tionahle if any one else would do a thing as Theodore Roosevelt. His political speeches, though being thoroughly republican in spirit and principle, surmount the narrowness of partisanism. Though supporting the party platform, he neverthe less stands upon his own feet. Few men have been so absolutely fear less as Roosevelt.

With him conviction means action. But he is never erratic nor Indiscreet. Though not a conscrva tivc man, Roosevelt has never been guilty of recklessness. Whatever he says or dots is the result of de1ilrate considera THE ROSEBUD RASCALITY. The after-election situation over in Rosebud county is full of interest, and something over 100 Ileinze colonists are trembling on the edge of the precipice.

The evidence is that Mr. Ileinze sent 168 non-residents into the county prior to the election with a view to having them swell his illegal vote. Most of these men, ignorant foreigners for the most part, were taken from Silver Bow county. Mr. Heinze's arrangements here were such that he did not need them.

In Rosebud, where the vole is closer, it was different. Mr. Ileinze was especially anxious to secure a state senator from Rosebud county. He even went to the expense of maintaining a newspaper to further his elaborate plans. William McCarthy, alias "Anheusci Kid," was a prominent factor in Mr.

Heinze's scheme of fraud, which was one of the most barefaced that has been yet unearthed, although there are others to fall under the searchlight. Thanks to honest county officials of Rosebud, who have the proper appreciation of the duty of public officials to the people, the Ileinze plans in that county lack a good deal of being consummated, although out of the 168 floaters sent into the county a large percentage of them registered and voteo illegally, according to contract. These deluded men have placed themselves in an embarrassing position, and there is every indication that, having secured their votes, Mr. Ileinze will abandon them to their fate. After his boss, McCarthy is the chief scoundrel in this attempt to cheat the electors of Rosebud county, and by turning him loose here in Butte when it was known that he was a fugitive from another county, the officials concerned in it have left themselves a great deal to explain.

The sheriff of Rosebud county and his staff who ferreted out these election rascals and who have done what they could to bring thein to justice, are entitled to the commendation of the people. They have done their duty intelligently and fearlessly and should not be discouraged because they have encountered what may seem to them as strange methods of administering the law in the interest of crime in Silver Bow county. A POLITICAL RASCAL'S DOWNFALL The conviction of Edward Butler, the wealthy democratic boss of St. Louis, for bribery, has naturally attracted the attention of the entire country. The con viction of this man who for years has run his crooked political machine with so much success, has its moral for many communities.

Wc gather some details of more than passing interest from the Globe-Democrat. Butler was the most powerful democratic politician in Missouri, with a larger personal following, such as it was, than any other individual in the state. So great was his influence and so attractive his methods to a certain class that an immense number of citizens doubted the possibility of convicting him. Many still predict that he will never reach the penitentiary. He has been tried deliberately by a jury in another part of the state as he desired, and yet found guilty.

The county to which the case was removed is strongly democratic, and the jury was made tip of democrats. It is also To be remarked that the state's legal representative is a democrat, though one of unusual capacity and straightforward purpose. Circuit Attorney Joseph W. Folk is no ordinary democrat. If the democratic party were composed of such men, it would be a vigorous clement in the world, instead of a divided and decaying remnant.

In the country in general the verdict will be analyzed as the conviction, for attempted bribery, of a man worth several millions, and the foremost democratic boss in Missouri. Butler has not cared to hold office. He preferred to distribute offices by the hundred. In the recent campaign in St. Louis he filled as many places on the democratic ticket as he wanted.

He named hLs son as congressman and saw that he received a majority of over 6,000. The evidence of attempted bribery was so clear in his case that a jury of honest men went straight to the plain conclusion and vindicated the cause of justice. It remains to be proved that the verdict will not be carried into effect, or that there exists in Missouri, as now governed, any judicial weak spot that indicates one code for the poor devil and another for Passing of the Family. One week from next Wednesday the famous old Sutton's Family theater will have passed out of existence, temporarily at least. On that day a new management will assume control and the theater will be changed from the melodramatic to the vaudeville.

The deal for the transfer was consum mated last week between Dick P. Sutton and A. S. Rhorer, who is establishing a chain of vaudeville theaters from Chicago to the Pacific coast. The theater will he known from this on as "Le Petit Theater" and will form a part of the vaudeville circuit which has already been successfully installed in the coast cities.

The new management has been conduct-ng straight vaudeville houses in Seattle and Portland and has just opened a new house in Tacoma- The initial week's bill will include Wal ter Reed, the premier comedian Dell Adel- phi, the cowboy musician, and a full program of vaudeville artists all well known in the theatrical world. One of the innovations of the new man agement will be the reduction of the prices' of admission to 10 and 20 cents. With first-class artists the new venture is bound to prove a success in Butte as filling a much-needed gap in the amusement field. A New Thing at the Family. Manager Dick P.

Sutton has at last succeeded in securing for an extra attraction at the i-amily theater before the change in management there, the much-talked of Mexican bull fighters who will be put on along with Sutton's road show playing "Texas." bull-fighters will, begin a three-days' engagement at the Family, theater Thursday night. Iney are genuine torreadors from the City Mexico and include a pair of midget boxers who will do a specialty turn in the play. The Mexicans have been touring the country with great success and Manager Sutton has been delaying the production of his play here until the troupe could ar rive with the extra attraction. An Excellent Bill. The excellent bill which will be pre sented tonight at the Family theater seems to assure a good-sized audience.

The entertainment is in the nature of a high-class vaudeville performance and some of the leading local lights will participate. Gilbert and Gilmore will make a strong bid for popularity in their vocal selections. Both possess voices of unusual merit. Man-sel Boyle, the well-known female impersonator, will delight the audience with his clever performance. Bert Stevens, as a blackface artist, has few equals in the state.

He will also be given a prominent place on the program. Olive Fearing Whiting, whose ability as a violinist is unquestionable, will be heard in a number of well-chosen selections. Others who will appear are Anna Marie Cochran, George Levy, Drea Johnstone, Marguerite Kelley and Cora Hill. The farce, "Wanted A Company," will conclude the performance. Poor Crowd at the Family.

Although the pictures of the Jeffries-Fitzsimmons go were put on in acceptable form at the Family theater last night, there wasn't enough of an audience there to outnumber the ushers, so that the crosses, hooks, counters and the final knockout were not as fully appreciated as they might have been with a larger audience.

Major Ross headed several expeditions into the mosquito breeding districts of West Africa. "While I was in Burnside, New York, the other day," remarked John Williams, at the Thornton, today, "I saw something that one does not often see.

It was the putting out of what A Big Fire threatened to be a de-Put Out structive fire with cider. With Cider. I know it was cider, and mighty good cider, for I drank some of it. The fire was in a big distillery owned by W. T.

Lodge. The whole plant was threatened with destruction. No water was to be had, but several big vats filled with cider were close at hand, and into these hose was run and the cider pumped on the fire. Mr. Lodge told me after the fire was extinguished that about 300 gallons of cider had been used." Samuel Bridges, who is traveling for a New York house, told the Inter Mountain a curious story this morning.

"William A. Cross," said he, "was an amateur actor in Brooklyn, whom I This Actor Sang knew very well. On He was employed His Death Bed. in the clothing house of A. J.

Nutting, one of the big firms on noisy Fulton street. He was taken ill and died. While the family were gathered about his bedside, with the doctor holding his pulse and waiting for the final throb which he knew was not far off, the dying man called for a glass of wine. He was barely able to hold it, but lifting it up he sang, in a clear voice, a few stanzas from 'The Irishman's Toast' from the play, 'Shaun In a few minutes he was dead. A strange thing about it was that for weeks prior he had not been able to speak above a whisper.

Cross had an interest of about $2,000 in the estate of his father, and by his will he left a part of this to Mr. Nutting, his employer, who had been very kind to him. A letter received today tells me that the family will contest this in the courts." AMUSEMENTS- Leon Herrmann. Leon Hermann, billed the country over as the "great and only," gave the first of his two performances in Butte at the Broadway theater last night. The Hermann family has always been favored with the enthusiastic support of the theatergoing public, and the exponent of black art now before the people is no exception to the rule.

Large houses greet Leon Hermann wherever he gives his marvelous performance, and the Broadway last night was comfortably filled, attesting in an eloquent manner to the popularity of the great prestidigitateur. Hermann today stands without challenge at the head of this class of entertainers. His performance is at all times interesting. His old tricks are performed with the same agility as of yore and command the same respect, while his new ones are startlingly original andiever fail to please. "The closer you look the less you see," says Hermann in his opening remarks, and his audiences are willing to admit the truth of this statement.

No matter how close an observer one may be it is impos sible to detect just how the great magician does it. Therein lies the greatness of the enter tainer. From the rise of the curtain Hermann succeeds in maintaining an interest in his audience that no magician of the day can do. If there is a dull monfent in his performance it was not apparent last night. The first portion of the program is given up to the conventional tricks which the performer accomplished in a manner that is highly entertaining.

One of the best things of the entertainment is the sensa tional aerial mystery billed as the "Princess Mahomeda. In this marvelous act Her mann makes the princess appear to be suspended in the thin air absolutely without support. It is a clever illusion, to say the least. The voyage instantaneous, an old trick of the elder Hermann, is also one of the features of the performance. While by no means so marvelous as the aerial suspen sion trick, it is a marvel for rapid work, and never fails to command the respect of the most critical audience.

Hermann concludes his performance with a program of diversified magical prob lems and introduces several tricks that are new to the public. One of the best things he does along this line is the catching of real, live cold fish oit the dry floor of the stage and placing them in a globe of water in full view of the audience. No illusion there, for you can see the fish swim. Her mann even goes so far as to defy detection and hooks one of the finny tribe from under the very eyes of those who occupy the first few rows in the parquet. The musical Goolmans, who accompany Hermann, are acceptable, in a high class musical novelty term.

Their act is good, but with one exception present nothing Hatch Dies of Injuries. Big Timber, Nov. 24. News was- received from Laurel this morning that C. D.
