TheEncore club's first performance of^^Errninie^ drew as hue an audience last^evening as ever assembled in Ming's opera^house, tilling every chair on the lower^floor and the front si als in the gallery.^Quite a number of ladies appeared in full^dress, and uken altogether a more ele^^gantly attired audience ha^ rarely been reen^In boxes were Messrs. Tateui, I'orter.Muth,^Shelby, Toole, Maginnis and others, ac^^companied by ladies. Among those in tbe^body of the bouse weie Messrs. W. E Cul-^len, A. ^J. Uotkin, B. IL tireene, W. E.^Cox, L D. McCutcheon, K. W. Knight, A.^L. Babcock, K. li. Floyd-Jones, J. P. Wool^:-ian, William Davenport, A. J. Davidson,^T. U Klei.ischmidt, John Phillips, llervey^Hiruour, Frank \V. McConnell, D. W.^Fisk, Heiman tians, K. E. Kisk, W. J^llickett. Judge Blake, Major Smith, V. S.^A , A. J. Fisk and A. K. Yerkes, ot H-^ze^man, m^at of those named being accom^^panied by ladies of their families. It would^be unjust to speak critically of the per^^formance last evening, wh^n so many of^the singers were suffi ring trom very ob^^vious attacks of stage fright, which affect^^ed their vocal organs in most distressing^fashion. Another fact which should be weighedis that the ^Errninie^ which was^staged la^t night is different froiu any other^^Ermtnie^ that ever was seen, or, let it be^hoped, that ever will be seen. The librei as^of the opera is copy righted, and the privi^^lege of using it on this occasion could not^be obtained; so tbe club made a shift to get^along with a home made libretto. The^result will probably be that in future^operatic attempts the Encore club will^confine itself to sucb compositions as Lave^libretto* that bave stood the test of repre^^sentation elsewhere. Thesinging of Mrs. Hersey. who as^^sumed the title role, was very good, she^has a sweet voice ot tair power, and uses it^with discretion. The singing of one or two^of her tongs was spoiled, however, by the^unruly orchestra, which has a way of real^tenng like a flock of sheep just when it^should be steadiest. Mrs. Harrison and^Mrs. Cohen did excellently what was al^^lotted to them, while Mr. Wallace, the^Cadeaux of the opera, was the life of tbe^performance. His make-up was a marvel^in its way, and his closest friends would^nave had difficulty in recognizing him in^the guise of Uie cowardly thief. Mr.^lboruburgti's rendering of the interpolated^^ong. ^Claude Duval,^ was one of the feat^^ures of the evening. _^ ^^ tolerably certain that Uie perform^ance this evening will excel that of last^evening, as the singers will in all probabil- iii.^ilrrr ttum ^^a*than at the^hrst rendering of the opera. Nothingto be Lost.^There is nothing to be lost, and possibly^much to be gained, by calling at French A^I'yfer's real estate office and examining^their bargain list before purchasing else^^where.

It was a^long train of thirteen cars heavily loaded^with passengers. A conspicuous feature^of the train was a ne w colonist car, it being^the first one run over the line. Five have^been received out of an order of twenty,^and are models of comfort and convenience^when compared with the old style of colo^^nist cars. An Ini.i i-EMJtNT representa^^tive inspected the new car. Each of the^fourteen sections was occupied.^Lpon first entering Uie ladies lave-^tory is seen. This apartment is screened^from the draught coming from the outer^door, by folding doors. A patent force^pump, marble top wash-stand and looking-^glasses, with Uie apartment finished in ash^and maple presents a cheerful appearance^At the other end of the car a similar apart^^ment is laid off for gentlemen. The whole^interior ot the car ia finished in ash, maple^and butternut highly polished. Each sec^^tion contains two double berths of the same^w idth as those of tbe Pullman first class^sleepers. The seats can be so adjusted as^t^ have one end slightly raised for pillows^w hen they are made ready for bedding at^night, or they will lie flat, as desired. Un^^derneath each seat is a receptacle for bed^^ding to place in it. The upper berths are^provided with safety chains, and the sec^tions are fitted at each end with a sliding^partition, which can be pushed back in the^daytime. Curtains are also provided for^each section and a table simi^^lar to those in use in Pullman^sleeping cars is furnished for each seat.^In one end is a patent aelf-feeding stove ot^the uaker patent and a urge cooking range^in another end affords ample kitchen fa^^cilities. It is the intenUon to have a porter^in charge of these new cars as soon as all^are received. TheNorthern Pacific is also running a^fine system of vesUhuled cars, and while^the road has been looking after the com-^fortsof its first-class passengers, it has been^equally zealaus in caring for those who can^not afford the best accommodations, as its^action in placing the new colonist sleepers^ou its road testifies.

K%cr Town Kucept Helena 4^etttug to Ihe^Front in Itase I. ... Matter*. Itlooks as though Helena, the principal^city of the territory, is to be without a base^bail club this season. As yet but little in^^terest is manifested towards reorganizing^the old champion club of the territory. The^reason advanced for this is that but very-^few of the old members live here now, but^a gentleman in a position to know states^that there's just as good fish in Helena as^ever and a base ball team ^ , .a. to that of^Ihsu could easily be organized. It is high^time that some action should be taken as a^series of games for the great Forth of July^celebration would make an attractive feat^^ure. MurrayLiebenstein. secretary and mana^^ger of tbe Butte base ball team, arrived in^city yesterday and will remain a few days^with a view to ascertaining what Helena^proposes to do about base ball. He state*^that the base ball question has been^grasped with enthusiasm by the west siae^people who have lent such encouragement^to the boys that a club of exceptional^strength was organized last week. Tbe^members are Sam and Joe Moffett, Ben^r. .miner. Dan McAuUffe, Johnny Tick-^nor, formerly of Helena. Larry tileason,^^las. Kirby, M. Keagan, Jobu Cowan, John^liieiinan, Joe Ennis and tieo. Carr. Besidesthe Butte team the employes of^the Parrott and Boston A Montana mining^companies have organized strong tea.ns.^I he latter aud the Butte club will foriuall^^o|ien the season next Sunday week with a^^.'ame at Warm Springs tor a^^-^'^i purse. The railroad companies,^too, have tendered support to the^cub, and besides allowing tree transpotta^taasl to the Springs, will give them 25 cents^on each ticket sold, the round trip fare^heiug 91 25. The proprietors of the springs^have set apart a section of^their ground for a diamond. Mr. Lieben^^stein has been there for tbe past two days^at the invitation of Dr. Mussigbrod. in^superintending tbe work ot laying out^the diamond which will be an excellent^oue. The firm of Calkins A Co., ot Butte,^ot which our visitor is a member, has do^^nated au entire outfit from head to foot.^1'he suits will be the same as those worn^by the old Providence club when it was in^ihe league. Anaconda, Pbilipsburg aud^I., /eman bave already started the ball^a rollin'. Marcus Daly has taken a lively^interest in the national game and btsidrs^having a diamond laid out, gave his check^^^heck for $600 to eqaip tbe Anaconda club.^It is tbe intention to have a^series of games this season^throughout the territory and Mr.^Liebenstein who is somewhat of a rustler,^will see what can be done in Helena^towards infusing life into tbe stagnant^state of affairs among tbe local lovers of^the national game. Aspecial train of unapproachable splen^^dor will arrive in this city from the west^about 7 o'clock this morning and will re^^main two hours, leaving at W o'clock via^the Montana Central, it will reach here^via the Northern I'acifie. Itcontains a distinguished party of^eleven, with Dr. W. Seward Webb as the^head of the p^rty, while each^member represents several millions^of wealth. The train consists of^four cars, which makes a veritable palace^nn wheels. It is purely a pleasure trip, the^cost of which is placed at from S100.000 to^8147,000, and is said to be tbe longest con^^tinuous railroad jaunt ever made. the^party have been on the road just one month^and three days, and in that time covered^'^.:^0'* miles and expect to cover enough more^within the next month to make the entire^trip 20.000 miles. Theeleven tourists composing tbe party^are first Dr. Webb, Mrs. Webb and their^children. Dr. Webb is a son-in-law of th -^late Wm II. Vanderbilt. He married one^of bis daughters, who bad a dowry of^j^.'ioi'.iioo and a subsequent inheritance ot^8i.U00.iXJ0 more. He is said to be of a jovial^disposition, and notwithstanding bis great^wealth is unassuming. Dr. Webb is a son^of James Watson Webb, the old-Ume news^^paper man, and a brother of Gen. Alexan^^der S. Webb, president of the college of the^city of New \ ork, and of H. Walter Webb,^vice president of the Wagner company and^also of Uie New York Central A Hudson^Kiver railroad. Dr. Webb was graduated^from Union college and then from the Col^^lege ot Physicians and Surgeons. Alter he^married Miss Vanderbilt be went into Wall^street, and then got into the railroad busr^ness. He is fond ot traveling, but this is^the first time in years that he has been able^to get away for recreation. His guests are^Messrs. Frank and Louis Webb I his^brothers i, Mr. and Mrs. J. li. Purdy. Mr^tieorge Bird, M. J. L. Kean and Dr. J. W.^McLane. Theparty comes direct from Portland.^Their original plan was to go direct to St.^Paul from there, but it is thought they will^take a run to Butte to see the greatest min^^ing camp on earth. Should they not do^this, trom Helena they go to SL Paul via^Uie Montana Central and Manitoba, thence^over the Canadian Pacific to Tancouver,^B. C, where they will board the trim, new^steamer Islander and have a set-to with life^on the boiling billows for a time. Presi^^dent Webb charted the Islander fur 8400 a^day, and as he intends to pass ten days^around Vancouver island and the coast of^Alaska, and at sitka, he will have to piank^down 84,500 for this part of the trip. Fmd-^ind themselves again at Vancouver they^w ill get aboard their wheeled palaces and^view Britisn scenery while Hying over the^Canadian Pacific track to Montreal.^F'rom Montreal the train will come^down into the United States, and^Dr. Webb will take the party to bis splen^^did home, the Shelburue farm, on the^shores of Lake Chaaiplain, for a brief so^^journ. Dr.Webb occupies the car Ellsmere, a^new coach constructed to his order which^has a speed recorder to tell the number of^miles traveled per hour. The car is fin^^ished in mahogany, and contains two lava^^tories, two bed rooms, an observatory,^kitchen, in fact it is a hotel in itself. The^next car is devoted to Mrs. Webb. It is^the Mariijdita. This was Dr Webb's for^^merly, but tor this trip it was all remodeled^to suit Mrs. Web*. There are sleeping^apartments for the three children, a play^^room filled with children's books and toys,^and forward there is Mrs. Webb's bou^^doir with her couch. There are more bed^rooms in front, and a large linen closet. Thenext is the dining car. This is tree^from partitions in the rear, and the space^tor the table is large In front is the^kitchen, where the cbef will pr-pare^breakfast,luncheon and dinner with all tbe^facility that he might have in any well-ap^^pointed house. The fourth car. the one^next to the engine, is a combination buffet^sleeping and baggage car. in the front part^is room for several servants. Thetravelers left the Grand Central^railway station.

They bad a hurried fianceat Southern California and at the^'acitic ocean. Then they tarried for a^while at Monterey and set out to see all^there was to see in the Tosemite Valley,^they took in the big trees, the wonderful^sceuery and everything else. Last Friday-^evening they left San Francisco for Port^^land, stopping only half an hour near Sis-^sons. Cal. to Mat lor trout.

KiverPress: Some days ago a large^prairie tire originated at the southwest end^of the Bear Paw mountains. It burned^over quite an area of grazing land and^finally crowded up the sides of the moun^^tains into the timber, where it bas since^been burning more or less. 1 be destruc^tion of tbe range is bad enough, but the de^^struction of valuable timber is worse. The^ranges will soon be all right again, but it^will tske many years to replace the timber. Iniporant changes bave occurred in tbe^office oi lue Butte Miner within the past^t.-w da....

Asthe religious reporter for the Isdl-^IOM.VT was passing by the Episcopal^church on Warren street last evening a^hurried bustle of men and women was^noticed in that immediate vicinity. It was^evident that something unusual was going^on inside, and the scribe stepped in. The^excellent boy choir of the church was^chanting a hy mn while the bishop and the^rector were at the altar. It was observed^that all eyes were iuteut on tbe first pew^where five Chinamen of average good^looks were seated, each wearing^an air of profound reverence.^Each held a book in bis hand^and listened with interest to^the reading by the rector of the Nth chapter^of the Acts ol the Apostles. They wire^baptised into the Christian faith last sun-^day, and on this occasion were to be can-^firined. At the order of the bishop they^marched to the altar and on bended knee^listened to the prayer ot the bishop. ^My^brothers, three days ago,^ h^- said, ^you^were made members ot Christ by baptism;^you were made children of Christ: now you^are members of His kingdom; you have^given up and renounced every other re^^ligion tor Jesus Christ; he is now your^friend, helper and deliverer.^ They were^urged to teach their brothers the truths of^Christianity in their own language, and in^a few minutes received the sacrament of^continuation and seemed happy, h ich was^attired in civilian's clothes and cannot be^called heathens hereafter.
