The Seattle Posi- re-
marks that a. second Chinese theater ID
building in Victoria. And yet the city
is not furnished with a single theater
for white persons" We are sorry to say
our Seattle friend is correct, - The
Chinese of this city have already two
theaters and third in course of CON-
structiou. The white people have not
one, and are not likely to have, unless
some enterprising persons take the mat
ter in hand. 1t was thought that Mana
ger Stechhan, while in this city lately,
had made arrangements to have one
built; but as yet no steps have been
taken in this matter. Although Mr..
Stschhan held ont liberal inducements,
and guaranteed a fixed rental, the mat
ter has been allowed to drop, and Vic
toria is still without q place of amuse-
ment, and there seems no likelihood of
one being built for some timo to come
that is, if some of our capitalists do
not come forward and Immediately have
one erected,-Post.
We are not much better of here,
neighbor, though we have the promise
of new theater early in 1888. Our
present place of amusement il Of the
most inferior character, hardly good
enough, we may say, for Chinese thea
triOalS.

SEATTLE, Dec. S, 1892.
A few changes are noted in the Seattle
markets since our report last week, the
general tendency of produce being quite
strong and prices firm and on the up
ward tendency.
WHEAT 10 quite scarce, many Of the
local dealers having received small lots
from Oregon, to supply the local demand
for ohicken-feed. Choice has advanced
some during the past week. Chicken
feed 10 still quoted at 50 to 50 cents pr
buahel.
TLOCR-As the -four consumed on
Puget Sound comes almost wholly from
Oregon, the prices here are regulated By
the prices in that file. Word came 70
dealers yesterday from the mills on the
Willamette that owing TO the advance in
wheat, they would at once add Is oents
Per barrel TO the price of their -four. Per
barrel extra 10 now quoted q $50 70
t5.75.
OATS are sitter than last week, but
are still quoted at from go to $36 PEI
ton. The latter, however, being the
outside figure offered for very choice
grades.
BACON-Some sales of country cured
bacon have been made during the week
at IA cents per pound, although Is cents
has been paid for choice lots
BUTTER-There is considerable salt
or pickle butter in market, and the de-
mand is not very brisk. Choice roll but
ter ia still scarce, and in demand. Deal
ers pay readily 311 cents per pound for
. good quality.
EGGS ara a l;<tIo m tina decline and
are retailing at 80 cents per dozen.
Fresh eggs, however, are scarce, and tho
price is liable TO again make an advance.
CHICkENS-SinceT Thanksgiving the
price of chickens has declined little.
and they are now quoted at - TO
$3.50 per dozen. II is thought as the
holidays approach the prices will again
stiffen up.
POrATOES-No particular improve
ment in the market, and but few sales
are reported, as farmers ideas gener-
ally are above those of the dealers.
Good potatoes delivered on the wharves
It Seattle have brought as high as 80
cents per bushel. These were bought
for the local trade, and not for shipping
purposes. Shipping demand very light.
HAY is still quoted at $lS per ton,
though we learn of some sales being
made as high as $40 per ton.
HOPS-Market unimproved, and but
few sales being made. Raisers are hold
ing for 81 or better per pound. and buy
ers are waiting for decline.
BEEF-The only change noted in tho
meat department is in the Wholesale
price of beet, Ohich has advanced, and
Is now quoted 8 to 81 cents per pound.

PERlLs OF PAPER BAG RusrlEs

There is woman in the West End
who has learned lesson that will last
her lifetime. She has for years been
wearing paper bags, such as grocers use,
for bustlss. The paper is stiff and sticks
up splendidly, and makes the dress look
well. Last Sunday morning when she
was dressing her young son got into the
room and blew tho bag up full of wind,
and tied Q string around the mouth of
It, and left the deadly hustle in a chair.
The good lady took 1t aid tied it ON aud
dressed herself for church. She bribed
her husband to 60 to church with her,
although he 10 sort of Bob Ingersoll
Christian. Az they went down the aisle
the minister was reading hymn about
Sounding the Loud Hosanna," and the
wife went into the pew first, and Sat
down while her husband was putting
his hat ON tho floor. There was re-
port like distant thunder. You have
heard how those paper bags explode
when boye blow them mp and smash
them between their hands. Well. it
was verse than that, and every one
looked Ut the innocent husband, Who
Vas Standing there blushing picture Of
astonishment. The minister stopped
reading the hymn and looked at tho
newcomers as though il would not scr-
prise him If that bad man should blow
the whole church up. The poor woman
blushsd, too, and looked around a.
much - TO cay. II didn't know it was
loaded"

TINT much vital energy has been perma-

ARRIvxD.-The kinssbury surveying
party arrived here from the scene of its
labors in the Cascades ON Tuesday even
ing. The members of the party are all
veil and in good spirits. The amount
Of work done is really wonderful. and if
We may take hearsay az truth the route
they have located is in every way prac-
ticable, this grade nowhere exceeding
100 feet. The tunnel surveyed 10 nearly
two miles in length, and the approaches
TO and from il are excellent. 1t is said
that the line through the Yakima can
y0n il really more difficult Of o0nstruc-
ton than the one through the noun
tains. Rumor further says that tho

positive. Our people are Watching with
much interest tho movements Of all
these parties.-Yakima Record.

Lady Brasssy has formed maQnifi-
cent collection Of various kinds Of Irish
lace, but lriah ladies generally, both in
Ireland and here, do not appreciate suf-
tciently tho native product. Il il worth
remembering that Colbert founded the
famous mandatory at Alenoon for the
purpose Of preserving for France the
enormous sums that French ladies sx-
pended annually in the purchase Of We.

ing the Venetian system and improving
IL with the beautiful point lace OF Allen
con and Of Argentine. 6ircs then the

Facts.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con-
suit the time tables of the Baltimore
and Ohio road. Its celebrated fast
trains, its sure connections, and rates
always as low as the lowest, make it
beyond all controversy the best line
west. Colonists are carried In first
class cars on fast trains, and every
possible care is taken to insure comfort
and convenience. BY the Baltimore
and Ohio only is the choice of routes
offered to the west, via st. Louis or
Chicago, and ill either case, trains run
through without change of cars. Di-
rect connection is made at both cities
with all leading lines to the west,
northwest and southwest, and there is
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such ad
vantages as the Baltimore and Ohio
1t costs but very little time and trou
Bile to learn this, and in the end may
lead to the saving of much Of both a;
well as m ney. Above all things dc
not purchase tickets before having a
talk or receiving letter from one Of
the B. & 0. Agents. A letter address
ed to 3. F. Bond, Cumberland, Md.
to G. E. Dudrow, Harper's Ferry; t.
Dan'l Bride, Baltimore, Md; or j
A. Fritz, Somerset, Pa. or call upor
either of these gentlemen will lead tt
thorough information as to all necessa
ry details of time, connections, fares
baggage and other matters.

How TO MANURE TREEs.-Many
make the mistake when manuring
trees Of putting the manure too near
the trunk. 1t should be remembered
that the feedersar near the extremity
of the roots, and the manure should be
applied where it can be best reached
by them. If the roots of a vigorous
tree, eight or ten feet high, should be
uncovered, it would be found they ex-
tend nearly the same distance from
the tree in nearly every direction.
To give the best results, then, the
size of the tree should be taken into
consideration. A good way is to dig
a trench, say two feet wide, half as
far from the stem as the tree is high
into which goodly quantity of man
ure may be spaded. If the turf has
been removed, it should be replaced.
A little manure may also be spread on
both sides Of the trench to advantage.
