Best Audience of Season Gieets '"The Lily nnd the Pilnce." Mlldied Holland has had ample dem onatiatlon oL the appieiiatlon of Cai bondale tlii'alie-goei.s of her ait and the beautiful plays that she has pie se'n(d heie, but It lemalned until last night for bpr to stoic a si eat tiiumph in the dianntic hlstmy of the town. In her new play, "The lllv and the I'llnte." ill-s Holland vmis gteeted by tht l.uget and most lepresentative audleni'i1- that lias filled the Gland, not onl this s".isoti but In many seasons, It was ,L. magnltlcent testimonial to the earnest, luu d-w inking, t onselentlous little woman who bow won her way into Hi" wuini plan's of the hearts of tho p.itions ol the drama In this cltv. She was fully appreciative, too, of tlio evi dences of Incic.ihed admiration for her nnd hraitlly expiessed heiself to those about betwern the acts. Tlio enthusi asm of the audience that Indicated Its appt eolation could not be mistaken. Curtain calls followed each net; four alter tho third. "Tho Lily and the Prince," as It Is now presented, Is, candidly, uulto an other piece than when given in Set un ion several weeks iiro. Like most new plays, alter tho Mist tow presentations It has been subjected to tho pi unlus proefsw, mid what caused the action to li" weak has been most jnofltably dls cauled. The Hist and second ncis uic notably Impinved, as well as tho last act. The thin! act needed no atten tion, it Is out' of the most poweitul situations Unit could bo devised, Tlio pleto Is aitlstictlly staged, and tlieio weio rate pletutcH of light nnd tolor. The veidct as liutwtcu "The Power Dehlnd tho Throno" and "Tho Lily and the Pi luce" will unmistakably, it issnfo to say, lie 111 I'nvoi of tho new play. Unclaimed Letteis.

Biooks and his paity from the United States geological siuvey, of which D. L. Reabuin was topographer. As far as is known this is the 11 ret time tlio slopes of the peak have been reached by white men, though in 1S98 its alti tude and molstiuo were determined fiom a distance by Robert Muldrow, of the same snivel. The mountain is located near the western lnatgln of the Alaskan l.mge, the genetal name given to the kugo mountain mass which sepaiates the Yukon and Kuskokwlm wateis fiom Cook Inlet diainage. It is a great dome shaped mountain, formed of inti uslve lock, toweling to an elevation of over 20,000 feet above the sea level. Though Its summit leaches so high an altitude, almost four miles above tide, it piob ably is not as dltllcult of ascent as some other Alaskan mountains, for example, Mount St. Ellas, hecauso of Its rela tively high snow line. As the season was well advanced, as much of his it inera! y had still to bo can led out, and as it was no pait of tlio original plan, ilr. Brooks lld not attempt to pass the snow line, though this point was leach ed. Now that the location und height of the mountain have been established by the exploration of the geological sur vey, Wavelets und individual explmeis will doubtless soon attempt to leach Its summit. In anticipation of these at tempts, ilr, Btooks Is prepaiing a de scilptlon of the country, giving loutes by which the mountain may bo i packed nnd other information valuable to those Interested in its ascent. His paper will appear In one of the leading geogiapblo magazines. The nioie elaboiale and extended lepoil of the explointion will be published by the geological siuvey at an eaily date.
