hziss Rose Wood as "Frou Ecou."
One Of the most refined audiences of
the season assembled at Darts hall last
evening to see "Frou Frou, as personated
BY Miss Rose Wood. If fine acting was
expected, the audience was not disoppoint
ed, as the entire company was first class,
aud the various characters finely person
ated.
Especially worthy of mention were the
scenes in the third and fourth acts, in
which Miss Wood portrayed the most
perfect emotional feeling. 1t was not
overweight, but every word, every
movement, seemed so real as to rivet the
attention of the audience. Mr.. Morrison
as Henri De. Sartorg, proved himself fully
up to the requirements of the role, and in
the parts where fine acting was required
displayed u rare command of feeling
Some Of his acting was SO real as to make
one almost imagine it reality.
Miss Craig performed her part of Louise
with much credit and command of feeling
1t is difficult character to properly per
form, and IN her rendition she proved
herself all actress of considerable ability
In word it was one of the finest com
panys that has been here this season, anC
should this charming actress Miss Wood
visit US again she can rest assured OF
hearty reception.

LETTER FROM HALsEY.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Perhaps few words of encouragement
from this place may be acceptable. The
good cause of human rights is progress
ing in this part of the valley in man.
ner gratifying to its friends. 1t has
been pretty freely discussed by every
band of harvesters and road workers,
as we'll as by firesides and between
neighbors during the past year, and dis
cussion will finally lead it on to victory.
The most bitter opponents of equal
rights are compelled to admit that the
laws in regard to estates of diseased
husbands are very unjust.
I often come in contact with those
who have never thought upon the sub
ject, and these are almost Invariably
ready to accept the doctrines and be-
come the friends of the cause as soon as
presented to them. Others there be
who are champions of error and wor-
ship at the shrine of custom, who will
advance all of the old objections which
well-informed persons have outgrown
They are totally unable to refute
one single argument in favor of hu-
man rights. These are generally treated
with the let alone theory, and are met
with silent contempt.
Truth is mighty and will pevail, and
under its benign influences the customs
of the dark ages will eventually disap-
pear. You are hardly aware of the ad-
vance that is being made, so be encour-
aged to work on in the good cause and
receive the assurance of the sympathy
and support of many friends in this Sec
tion. G. G.

SUFFRAGE IN COLORADO.

We have before called the attention of
our readers to the fact that the question
of Woman Suffrage will be submitted to
the people (men) of Colorado in October.
The suffragists not only of the grand
Centennial State, but of the entire pa
tion, are interested in this contest. And
as Colorado is to be the battle-ground of
Woman Suffrage this year, it is meet
that the friends in every locality should
contribute what aid is in their power to
get the question fairly before the people
of that young and progressive State.
The home workers are active and ener-
getic. They propose to help themselves
as vigorously as possible, being certain
of triumph, if only the agitation is suf-
ficient to cause the men of the State to
think seriously upon the question be-
fore they deposit their ballots. But,
while the home workers lose no time or
opportunity to get the matter before the
people, they need and should have help
from abroad. We have before stated
that we will send the NEW NORTHWEST
as a campaign paper to any address in
that State for four months beginning
with this issue, for 81 90. A few sub
seriptions have been received, and we
hope within the next two weeks to add
a large number to them.
