FROA DAILg OF FRIDAY.
, 1876-05-25

The performance of the Merry
Makers last evening was attended
by a very large audience-double
the number that was there the first
evening, which showed how we'll
they were appreciated. The Wor-
rell sisters are graceful and easy in
comedy, and charming and vivacious
in their vocalism. Geo. S. Knight
was emphatically success in his
deliniations of Dutch character, and
repeatedly set the house in a roar.
Mr.. Richards was perfect rubber
man, and the was he threw around
his lengthy and somewhat attenu-
ated limbs was fearful to contem-
plate. He was really the most re-
markable dancer that ever appeared
before a Seattle audience. Mr..
Jones was splendid musician, and
appeared to have the faculty of
getting music out of anything. He
played on a great variety of instru-
ments, ranging from cornet to a
cows horn, and including a Chinese
guitar. The troupe left on the
North Pacific for down Sound.
A NEW swindling dodge has been
devised in San Francisco. Silver
coin packages have passed current
at the brokers by weight, and it was
seldom that the purchaser thought
of inspecting the rolls to discover
either the quality of the coin. The
sharpers appear to have worked on
this idea and prepared lead tubes of
the size and length which when
rolled up with a half dollar at each
end would resemble twenty dollar
package. Using wrappers stamped
with the name of the California In
surance TO, and being off--exaett exact
weight, a large number of galena
tubes were sold to the unsuspecting
brokers before the swindle was de-
tected. The game is now of course
at close, but it subjects the busi-
ness men to great deal of trouble
whenever coin packages are the me-
dium of exchange.
