r - "AUNT 'HANNAH."
" The above farce comedy was pres
ented at tbe Jacques last night be
fore a well pleased audience and the
next performance of the clever com
pany which is presenting it, should be
well patronized. It was a rollicking,
spicy comedy and the various numbers
were well received. There are sev
eral features beyond the ordinary in
the entertainment and tbe whole
makes an entertainment that will
please the most exacting. It will be
presented at the Jacques to-night and
to-morrow afternoon and evening.
GTJS RUHLIN.
Tbe entertainment which Gus Ruh
lin, who defeated Tom Sharkey two
months ago, will offer on the occasion
of his first visit to our city this even
ing at Poli's, Is one of striking and un
usual novelty. It is almost entirely of
an athletic character and presents Ruh
lin in a number of phases. First, he
will box five rounds with big Denver
Ed Martin and will afterward, with
Martin's aid, give a series of illustra
tive rounds, showing the different
blows used in pugilism. This is an ex
ceedingly Interesting feature which
was originated by Billy Madden, Ruh
lin's manager, when he was managing
John L. Sullivan some years ago. Then
the moving pictures of Rubliu's fight
with Fitzsimuions will be shown, the
films being more than five miles in
length and wonderfully clear and dis
tinct. A wrestling match will also be
.Introduced, and one of the coutestauts.
Billy Siege, invites any local wrestler
to contest with him at the Graeco
Roman style. With all these varied
' features the entertainment cannot be
other than extremely interesting and
It ought to attract a large audience.
Prices are 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents. .

SAWTELLE DRAMATIC COMPANY
Beginning Monday evening the Saw
telle Dramatic company will play a
week's engagement at the Jacques, giv
ing matinees every day but Monday.
The company has a particularly attrac
tive repertoire, including "The Vic
torian Cross," "The Devil's Music,"
"Chattanooga in '01," "A Country
Courtship." "The Grip of Steel," "A
Mask of Life," and other plays. Miss
Jessie Sawtelle, an old favorite in Wa
' terbury, plays the lead, and a number
of specialties are introduced between
the acts. The great feature in this
department is the wonderful Ah Ling
Foo, Chinese conjuror, who has suc
ceeded in completely mystifying every
audience before whom he has ap
peared. Another feature in connec
' tlon with this engagement which may
be regarded as quite extraordinary,
is the giving away of a bicycle at every
- performance. Every person who at
1 tends will receive a numbered ticket,
. and corresponding numbers will go into
a, box from which a drawing will be
made at each performance by a com
mittee selected from among the audi
ence. The person holding the nnm

wheels will be distributed, one for each
performance, and this munificent offer
will undoubtedly attract immense au
diences '.to the Jacques during all of
next week. It should be remembered,
too, that repertoire prices 10, 20 and
30 cents will prevail during the en
gagement, there being no change of
prices even with free bicycles, thrown

"THEODORA.'8
A fair and very cold' audience wit
nessed Melbourne McDowell and a
very good company at Poli's last night
In the above production. There was
evident lack of rehearsal in some parts
of the play, but as a whole it was a
creditable performance. Mr McDowell
filled the' role of Andreas with much
success and was ably supported in
the principal features of the drama.
Ttje large number of supers failed to
put in. an appearance and probably it
was Just as well that but a few were
used. The settings were not over
elaborate, but the costuming of the
production was excellent in every way.
Mrs Minnie Titell Brune had the lead
lug" female role and while she is not
a Fanny Davenport nor a Blanche
Walsh she Is a very clever woman and
her work contributed in a great
measure to the success that was at-,
tained. The - Roman standing race
was one of the enthusiastic portions of
the play and was weu done. . ;

AFTER THE SUMMER.
"Yield up, O love, thy crown and
hearted throne." Othello.
He walks in vain by yonder garden
gate.
Where hollyhocks and tall carna
tions rise.
Sweet marjoram, and blooms that lin
ger late,
And all the scented herbs that house
wives prize.
A late rose throws soft kisses to the
breeze.
On petals sunrise-hued, like his love's
cheeks;
He hears a child's voice in the apple
trees;
He starts! Ah, no; it is not she that
speaks.
Gone! Lost! Her voice must ever be
afar
Those tones that made his fond
heart fervent bound;
'Twas not a voice as other voices are.
For blithesome hope and love were
in the sound.
She was a damsel, dainty, fair, and
fine;
A princess in the city's latest style;
And "darts" and "hearts" were not
much in her line;
A little nonsense was; so, many a
mile
Stretches between the lonely heart
that's left..
With fading hedges, and the maiden
fair.
One heart is wild with pain, of joy
bereft.
The other's gay, and bright, and free
from care.
A summer season and a wounded
heart
A young man's heart that suff ring
makes its moan
Alas! that reason and true love should
part;
"Yield up. O love, thy crown and
hearted throne."
And Cupid sneered, for Cupid's young
no more.
And In my face he puffed his cigar
ette: "Drop sentiment it's such an awful
more:
She has forgotten, he will soon for
get!" Maurice F. Egan, in "Songs and
Sonnets."
LUCKY TEMPER.
The fur salesman was holding up on
his arm a very handsome specimen of
what appeared to be Russian sable.
"You wouldn't think," he said, "that
that color was indirectly due to a loss
of temper, would youV"
"I didn't know that the Russian
sable had a bad temper," responded
the customer.
"Your knowledege is not always to
be relied on," laughed the salesman.
"This is not a Russian sable skin. It
is a real fox, and thereby, so to speak,
hangs a tale."
The customer asked that it be un
folded. "In New York city," responded the
salesman, "lives a furrier, who, know
ing a good deal about the dyeing of
seal skins and other furs, sought for
years and years to find a dye that
would transfer a red fox skin into a
Russian sable, as far as appearance
went. All efforts were nugatory and
void, as the lawyers say, but he would
not give up the search.' One day, less
than two years ago, he was busy over
his dye pots seeking the elusive al
chemy. He thought this time he had
it sure, but he was disappointed once
more, and, I am sorry to say, he lost
his temper and acted in a- most un
seemly manner. He held in his hand
a bottle with a chemical of some kind
in it that he had intended using in
some other dyes that he did not know
about, and in his violence he knock&d
the Dottle against a box and broke Its
neck. This made him madder than
ever and with a bad word , he hurled
the broken bottle and its remaining
contents into the disappointing dye
pot. .Then he left the place, and when
he came back, much cooler in- mind,
behold, there was that in the dye pot
which caused his special wonder and
he began an, immediate Investigation.
Just what effect the chemical or the
broken bottle had on the dye he could
not tell, but a very apparent change
had been effected and he hastened to
try a strip of fur in it. When the fur
was . 'taken out it was no longer red
fox. Neither was it Russian sable,
but It was. on the . way, and after a
little ' more experimenting with the
unexpected chemical he hit upon :he
right thing and the secret was his.
To-day he is converting red fox into
Russian sable for 1,900 firms in all
"parts of the world, and It is needless
to say' that he is not getting poor at it.
Russian sable is a beautiful and ex
pensive fur, but this imitation Is quite
as effective for three or four years as
the . genuine thing.' and doesn't cost
anything like as much. Cheaper furs,
that look as well, while they last, as
expensive ones, are most satisfactory
anyway to the majority of purchasers,
because' styles change and people
want soinethinsr new once in a while
if thtjy can aSCord it." Washington

CHAPTER XX.
A day had dawned on the Big Horn
never to be forgotten by those who
watched the conflict from the stockade,
never to be recalled by those who went
forth to fight. Broad daylight had
come and the sun was peeping over the
far horizon as strong arms bore the
unconscious officer within the post,
and the commander eagerly questioned
the men who came with him. Thair
tory was quickly told. They had fled
before overpowering' numbers of the
Sioux the night before, had made their
way through the timber in the dark
ness and come ahead all night, grop
ing' their way from ridge to ridge until
at the peep of day they found them
selves in sight of familiar landmarks,
and could see the gleam of the waters
of the Fork dancing away under the
dawn. And then, as they essayed to
ride on they found the Indians- all
around them. Whichever way they
turned the foe appeared, but only in
scattered parties and small numbers.
Not once did more than half a dozen
appear in sight, and then, confident
of speedy succor from the fort, they
had decided to make a dash for it, and:
so rode boldly out into the open. But
Eow a score of warriors popped up and
barred the way, while others far out
at flank or rear kept up long range
iite. Or. 2a war, shot through the
bjOy and fainted ur.i Lad to be borne
along. Then the lieutenant was shot
in the leg, but no one knew it until
they saw his boot was running over
with blood, and he was growing- ghast
ly white, even though he kept encour
aging and directing But when at last
the cavalry met them and brushed the
Indians away from the front, Capt.
Drum, who rode at their head, ordered
Mr. Dean taken right into the post
while he dashed on to punish the Sioux,
"and he is giving them hell, too," said
the excited trooper, "for there couldn't
have been more than a hundred Indiana
all told." . J
Ah, not in sight, perhaps, poor
lads! not in sight of horse, foot or
fort; for if there were only a hundred,
how came it that the fire grew fiercer
still, and that presently every musket
in the infantry skirmish line, too, was
blazing on the foe? By this time- cav
alry and infantry both had disappeared
over the curtaining- ridge, and the
colonel's face grew grave and haggard
as he listened. Three-fifths of his lit
tle garrison were out there battling
against unknown numbers. They had
gone to rescue the detachment and
bring it safely in. That rescue was
accomplished. The precious package
for which so much had been risked was
here but what detained the com
mand? Why did they not return? Ee
yond doubt far more Indians were out
there now than when first the firing
began. "Gallop out, Mr. Adjutant, and
tell the major to withdraw his line and
fall back on the stockade," was the
order and with a lump in his throat
the young officer mounted again and
started. He was a pet in the garrison,
only in his second year of commission.
They saw him gallop through the gate,
saw him ride gallantly straight for the
curtaining ridge b3rond which the
smoke was rising heavily now, saw
him breasting the slope, his orderly
following, saw him almost reach it,
and then suddenly the prairie seemed
to jet fire. The foremost horse reared,
plunged and went rolling over and
over. They saw plainly saw through
their glasses, and a shriek of agony
and horror went up from among the
women at the sight half a dozen paintr
ed savages spring out from behind the
ledge, some on pony back, some afoot,
and bear down on the stricken form ol
the slender young rider now feebly
striving to rise from the turf; saw the
empty hand outstretched, imploring
mercy i saw jabbing lances and bran
dished war clubs pinning the helpless
boy to earth and beating in the bared,
defenseless head; saw the orderly
dragged from under his struggling
horse and butchered by his leader's
side; saw the bloody knives at work
tearing' away the hot red scalps, then
ripping oft the blood-soaked clothing,
and, to the music of savage shouts ol
glee and triumph, hacking, hewing,
mutilating the poor remains, reckless
of the bullets that came buzzing along
the turf from the score of Springflelds
turned loose at the instant among the
loopholes of the stockade. It was 800
yards away in the dazzling light of the
rising sun. Old Springfields did not
carry as do the modern arms. Soldiers
of those days were not taught" accurate
shooting as they are now. It was too
far for anything but chance, and ah
within a minute or two the direful
tragedy was over, and the red warriors
had. darted back behind the ridge from
which they came.
"My God! sir," gasped the office
who stoo5 at the side of the awe
stricken post commander, "I believe
it's Red Cloud's entire band, and
they've got our poor boys surrounded!
Can't we send help?"
' "Send help! Merciful heaven, man,
who's to help us? Who's to protect
these poor women and1 children if wa
go? ' I have but two companies left.
It's what those fiends are hoping
have been planning that I'll send out
my last man to the aid' of those al
ready gone, and then they'll dart in
on the fort and. what will become of
these?" "
Great drops of sweat were pouring
down the colonel's face as he turned
and pointed to the huts where now,
clinging to one another in terror,
many poor wives and. children were
gathered, and the air was filled with
the sobbing of the little- ones. - Up
from the stockade came two young
officers, their faces -set and rigid:,
their eyes blazing. ''In God's name,
colonel," cried the foremost, ?'let me
take my men and clear that ridge bo
that our people ( can. get back. One
charge will do it,sir." '
But solemnly the commander up
lifted bis hand.. "Listen," said he, "the
battle Is receding. .They-are driving
our poor fellows southward, away from
us.. They are massed between them
and us. It would only be playing into
their hands, my boy. It's too late to
help.. Our duty now is here,"
, . ''But good God, sir! . ,1 can't stay
without raising a hand to help. . X
beg I implore!" t '
"Go back to your post at once, sir.
Yon may be needed- any minute. Look
there! Now!"
And as he spoke the colonel pointed
to the southeast. Over the scene be
yond the divide to the south hung the
bank of pale-blue smoke. Out on the
slope lay the ghastly remains of the
young adjutant and his faithful com
fade, who, not ten minutes before, hud
galloped forth in obedience to thcijf
orders and met their soldier fate. Out
to the southeast the ridge fell grad
ually away into the general level of the
rolling prairie, and there, full a thou
sand yards distant, there suddenly
darted into view three horsemen,
troopers evidently, spurring madly
for home.
"They've cut their way through,!
Thank God!" almost screamed the
spectators at the parapet. But their
exultation died an instant later. Over
the ridge in swift pursuit came a dozen
painted, feathered braves, their mo
nies racing at lightning speed, their
arrows and bullets whizzing along
the line of flight. The horse of the
foremost trooper was Staggering, and
suddenly went plunging headlong,
sending his rider sprawling- far out
on the turf. He wta ap in a second,
dire peril nerving him to desperate
effort. His comrades veered at his
cry for help and glanced back over
their shoulders. One, unnerved at
eight of the dashing foemen in pur
suit, clapped spurs again", and bending
low, rode madly on. The other, gal
lant fellow! reined about in wide,
sweeping circle, and turned back to
meet his running comrade.. They saw
him bend to lend a helping hand, saw
him bend still lower as three of the
Indians leaped from their ponies; and,
kneeling, loosed their rifles all at
once; saw him topple out of saddle,
and his stricken horse, with flapping
rein, trot aimlessly about a moment,
before he, too, went floundering in
his tracks; saw the other soldier turn
to face his fate by his dying comrade's
side, fighting to the last, overwhelmed
and borne down by the rush of red
warriors. Strong men turned aside
in agony, unable to look on and see
the rest the brutal, pitiless clubbing
and stabbing, the fearful hacking of
lance and knife but others still, in
the fascination of horror, gazed help
lessly through the smoke drifting up
ward from the blazing loopholes, and
once a feeble cheer broke forth as one
shot took effect and a yelling Indian
stretched out dead upon the sward.
Then for a brief moment al eyes cen
tered on the sole survivor who came
sweeping down the slopestraight for
the sjockade. Almost it seemed as
though he might yet escape, despite
the fact that his horse, too, was lurch
ing and stumbling, and his pursuers
were gaining rapidly, defiant of the
fire of the little fort. Reckless of or
der and discipline, a dozen soldiers
nearest the gate rushed out upon the
open bench, shouting encouragement
and sending long-range, chance shots.
But with every stride the fleeing steed
grew weaker, stumbled painfully and
slackened- speed, and soon they saw
him slowing down despite the frantic
jabbing of the spurs, and with droop
ing head and bleeding nostrils giving
up the fight. And then, at sound of
the triumphant yells and jeers of his
pursuers, the poor wretch in saddle
threw one fearful glance behind him,
one despairing look toward1 the com
rades and the refuge, still a quarter of
a mile away and with shaking hand
he turned the brown revolver on his
own temple and pulled trigger, and
theA went tumbling earthward, a
corpse. There at least was one scalp
the Sioux could covet in vain, for, with
shouts of vengeance, the little squad
of infantry, deaf to all orders or the
clamor of the bugle recall, dashed out
over the level beach firing furiously as
they ran, and, whether from the su
perstitious awe with which the In
dians view the suicide, or the dread
of close combat with the gallant
band of blue-coats, the mounted' war
riors turned and scurried across the
prairie, and were presently out of
range beyond the ridge again. Then
and not till they had reached and
lifted and borne tbe lifeless form of
the trooper did the little party con
descend to answer the repeated sum
mons from the fort. Then at last they
slowly returned, unrebuked, for no
man had the heart to chide, their dar
ing. Only once more was there further
sjht of the one-sided battle. Half a
mile or more beyond the bare divide
there rose against the southern sky a
bold, oblong height or butte, studded
with bowlders and stunted pine, and
Watchers at the fort became aware as
the sun climbed higher that the smoke
cloud, thinning gradually but percep
tibly, was slowly drifting thither. The
fire, too, grew faint and, scattering;
iV
Tbe other turned back to meet bis running . .
I-'- comrade.' '-,'.
The war whoops .rang, and r,eechoed
among the rocks,; but. all , sounds of
cheering had long since died away. At
last, an hour after the. fury of the fight
began, the colonel, gazing in speechless
grief through his' field-glass, muttered
to the officer at his side:
"Some of them are still left. .They
are fighting for their lives along' that
butte" (To Be Continued.) j-...J
