At the Opera House.

Mikado will be given at the opera house
tonight. The following is what one of the
New York papers says of this excellent COM
pany:
'Last night the New Park theatre held as
large an audience as the first evening of the
Juvenile Opera Company's production Of
''The Mikado." As often as the people
here have heard this opera they never
weary Of 1t. or course its production by
quite young people Is the novelty that at
tracts such good houses. But youthful as
the members OF the company are, they,
with two exceptions, do splendid work. A
sweeter Yum Yum than Miss Camille
Cleveland 1t is difficult to picture; she Is
decidedly handsome, and she executes her
work with irresistible grace. And her
voice, with the exception of the notes in
the upper register, Is facinating. Then
kstisha has not been better sung here than
by Miss Emma Berg. Miss Julia Martins
Pitti-Sing is an exquisite bit of vocalization.
Then Teddy CANDLES ko-ko is nightly re-
ceived with almost unceasing outbursts OF
applause. Master Teddy Is indeed phe-
nomenal youth. His memory for libretto
ami score is marvellous; and what is more
amazing in one so young as he is that he
does not descend 70 the buffoonery with
which many of his seniors mar the charac-
ter lie 30 well enacts. George Beban's Mi
kado Is excellent and little Stella May, the
fascinating and graceful little elf, is wonder
fully precocious.
This evening the last opportunity will be
presented to hear ''rhe Mikado," by this
talented young mpany."-Evening Tele-

The Right of Way of the Spokane
and Seattle Railway.

One of the officers of this company said
REVIEW reporter yesterday morning
I'VE have been trying to secure a right OF
way into this city at reasonable figure
and thus far have met with but little sue
cess. As all know this Is local enter
prise, the stockholders being our leading
and representative men. There ought to
be sufficient enterprise among our people
TO aid in constructing this road, especially
on the part OF those who own lands on
which the road will be built. But on the
contrary some of our citizens are asking
three or four times as much as their and is
worth, way out beyond Hangnan creek.
Ifit was some foreign corporation who
proposed to build this road, all these pro-
perty holders would get together and pre-
sent the right Of way to the company. All
we ask Is fair dealing We expect to pay
for all the land we take, but we cannot ex-
haust all our resources on the right of
way" Why not call a meeting of all the
property owners and adopt a scale Of prices
reasonable and Just to all parties?

Paris is making preparations for a spe-
cial Jubilee of her own. A few weeks
hence 1t will bc fifty years since the first
train steamed out Of Paris and reached
the suburb OF st. German. The guard
of that train is still alive and has strange
accounts to give of the journey and Of the
preparations for it, 1t seems to have
been scarcely such n triumph for France,
after all. The engine, of course, was
English, and the driver and stoker were
English too The engine ran on four
wheels, and was q singular contrast to
present locomotives, but the first class
carriages were almost of the same pattern
rs that still In use on the line The sec
ond class were open, furnished with cur
tains to keep Off the sun, and beyond the
curtains nets were stretched to prevent
too curious travellers from losing their
balance and their lives.
French taste asserted itself in the de-
partments of costume and music. The
guards had uniform of blue and gold
buttons and were supplied with hunting
horns. Great Importance was attached to
the horns, which were to represent the
cornets used by the Positions of the mail
coaches. For q week before the first
journey the guards carefully rehearsed u
fanfare, which was to be played with
great spirit on the departure and just be-
fore the arrival Of the train. They have
changed many things on French lines in
fifty years, and among others have sub
stituted railway whistles for hunting
horns. Boston Transcript

THE BOARD OF TRADE.

AspIcY MEETING IN THEIR HANDSOME NEW
QUARTERS WHICH ARE SOON TO DE ADORNED
BY A GILT SIGN.
The board was called to order by Presi.

After reading the minutes Of the previous
meeting communication was read by the
secretary from the Northern Pacific com.

deal of trouble If they could be handed to
| intending settlers"
Mr., IL. l.. Gutter thought that something
of that Kind should be gotten up in bound
form.
Mr.. r. Sherwood stated that when he was
| east last, he noticed u very nice little book,
nicely illustrated, descriptive of Spokane
| Falls, which the Northern Pacific company
| had at its office in New York city for dis.
| tribution and suggested that the board
might get the company to edit another
| edition for general distribution.
| A motion was made and carried that a
| committee be appointed, to communicate
with the Northern Pacific company. either
| as to a reissue of their circular or the issu
| ing of IA new folder. and to report at the
| next regular meeting. Messrs. Davis, Sher-
| wood and Cutter were appointed.
| Mr.. Sherwood thought that 1t would be
| a good plan to have resident correspond
| ent, whose duty 1t would be to send items
of news concerning Spokane to various pa
| pers throughout the United States.
| Mr.. Bolster thought that all advertising
ought to be done through the board OF
trade, as the money spent in the past has
not always been spent to good advantage.
| Mr. Dennis said that q folder paid for by
| Spokane and placed In the hands of the
agents of the Northern Pacific would be
4 the better way to advertise; or what
might be even better, to raise fund TO be
! disbursed under the direction of the board
and have this board employ man of abili-
| ty to travel in the east and distribute the
descriptive reading matter and at the same
time talk personally with people who
| think of coming west.
Major Routhe said that there was fever
| of unrest throughout the east, and espe-
cially so on the part oitboye who attend po.
| litical conventions, and IL would be a good
plan to circulate neat pamhlet to all the
| delegates.
Mr.. Bolster suggested that we send an
| exhibit to the national conventions for
| eastern Washington.
Moved and carried that the secretary
order 200 copies of the names of the men,
bers printed.
Mr.. Dennis thought that some action
ought to be taken to build a board OF trade
building.
A vote of thanks was rendered the secre-
tary for his work in obtaining the. present
handsome quarters.
IL was moved and carried that the secre
| tary be empowered to obtain gilt sign, to
| be put up in front Of their rooms.

Too Much Eating ana Drinking.


An old and retired banker In New York
said to me latcly that he had just come
from Carlsbad, where he went to have
the gout treated. Said I;
"Is that Place really influential upon
the goutp''
''If you would go to any spot in the
United States where the air was good,
and submit to the same diet and exercise,
you would get well just as quick. The
Americans go to Carlsbad and stay two
months working for health; and then
they go to Paris, and in two weeks, upon
good champagne SPREE destroy all the
benefits they have received"
The same Is the case even at Saratoga
and our health resorts. The waters are
unquestionably beneficial mt that spot II
taken with some regard to diet; but the
Saratoga hotels are all organized upon the
theory of feeding the system to the fullest.
The bar rooms there for the men to re-
pair to are big enough for regiment to
enter. The dining rooms are prepared
for l,OOO to eat at once. Spring chicken
from Syracuse, birds from the Adiron-
dacks, frogs from Canada pamper up the
system, and wine is almost necessary to
wash them down; so the waters one goes
to drink have but partial effect. What
good Is done in tho morning at o'clock is
neutralized mt 10 O'Clock breakfast After
that the horse race and its incidental dis
sipation, the afternoon ride and the big
supper at the lake and an evening given
up to cards or billiards or drink, carry the
invalid faster toward his grave than back
from it.--Herald of Health.

Not long since prominent woman in
good society undertook to instruct the
public not so we'll informed as herself how
to write n note. Ter hints to letter writers
appeared in n New York newspaper, and
will undoubtedly prove Of benefit to many
of its readers All she said on this topic
was perfectly correct, from "the abom-
nation of scented stationery and the OBJ
jectionable ragged edge note paper with
colored inks, to the formula required in
all notes of invitation. The article, which
also punctured some of the affectations of
a young letter writer, was signed Mrs.
Burton N. Harrison" The use of the
prefix "Mrs" in this connection is q
breach of literary etiquette which the
writer commits in common with Mrs. John
Sherwood, who certainly knows better
than to do so Both these ladies have pre-
sented their society views in print as
models to be followed by less well bred
people, yet both are guilty of bad form in
signing themselves Mrs" No lady ever
writes note and signs it by her married
title. She is neither Miss nor Mrs. at
such times, and even should she lie writ
ing to an inferior, or to stranger, the
rule Is the same. To avoid any mistake
Of address, notes Of this description must
be written in the third person. With a
newspaper article the Mrs. " signature is
in intolerably bad taste.-Boston Herald.

The queen regent of Spain is knocking
the blue laws of Spanish etiquette to
pieces at jolly rate, The other day she
called meeting of the ministry at the
Castle of Aranjuez. When the statesmen
reached the gate of the park they found
the qneen and the Princess Isabel waiting
for them. The queen was in victoria
and the Princess Isabel was in drag and
four. The queen was driving. She in
vited Senior Sagasta II take seat beside
her, and the other ministers were accom-
modated in the drag. On reaching the
castle coffee was brought and the queen
ordered cigars to be produced as well and
offered to the gentlemen. The ministers
seemed to hesitate. In all the annals of
Spanish history no subject had ever
smoked in the presence of queen. The
queen regent, however, gave the com
mand, and the ministers, like dutiful sub
jects, obeyed. Gold sticks and chamber
lains have been ever since in hopeless
despondency. New York Tribune.

Cotton Seed Products

Two-thirt& of the cotton seed oil sold in
the United States goes to the makers Of
lard and butterine, and its use to the ex-
,tent of about 90 per cent. has been one OF
the most powerful influences in reducing
the price of lard 1t is also being used
for cooking, and II large proportion of the
oil taken with salads and sartlines Is the
product OF the cotton fields Happily sci
entific men declare that it is perfectly
wholesome, and some say that it is better
than animal fats, at which vegetarians
will rejoice. 1t Is estimated that not far
from 600, 600 tons of cotton seed are used
in this industry every year, and that from
400, 600 to 500, 900 barrels of crude oil are
produced, half of which is exported from
the states. The oil is not the only prod
uct of the seed The meal, after the oil
has been expressed, IS sold, either loose or
compressed into calic, for animal food,
cattle taking to it ki Sly, and for fertllz-
ing purposes. When refined IL Is difficult
to distinguish between the cotton and
olive oils. s.-Chicago Times.

CUTTING GARMENTS FOR MEN.
How Ready Made Clothing Ia Made -
Fit the Average Customer.


Fit the Average Customer.
Every man Of we'll proportioned figure
can go into ready made clothing estab-
lishment and purchase suit that will 1T
him tolerably well for very little money
There was II time when the prices were
not so reasonable and the fit Of the gar
ments not so satisfactory. The ready
made business has been carried to de-
gree of perfection during the past few
years that has made bankrupts OF many
custom tailors. Deductions have been
drawn from experience, experiments have
been tried, and the human figure has
been so carefully studied, that an average
measurement has been established where
by nine out Of every ten men can be fitted
to their satisfaction.
The system Of cutting GARMENTS adopted
by the leading establishments Is known as
the progressive method" 1t starts from
the chest measurement and works accord
ing to n law OF progression, 1t has been
proved that tho figure of well built man
can be fitted from the chest measurement
alone-in other words, a man who meas
ures Ill inches across the chest will, IL
nature HAS endowed him with q perfect
form, measure 90 3-4 inches across the
shoulders and % "a inches at the shoulder
blade. These are the fundamental meas.
uremen.s OF tailors, for IL coat fits
snugly at the shoulders other considcra.
tions are, with most men, Of small i'm
portance. If u man measures AZ or 43
inches across the chest the other proper
tions increase progressively three -fourths
of an inch around the shoulders and one
half an inch at the shoulder blade FOR every
additional inch of chest measurement.
The trousers are n secondary matter.
They are made of all sizes, to suit long
and short legged men alike.
or course many men cannot be fitted
well in ready made garments. They are
made for the average figure, and not for
the peculiar build of badly formed men.
The progressive oethod" has proved so
successful that even custom tailors have
adopted the chest measurement to start
from making other notifications In the
cut Of the garments afterward to suit the
proportions Of their patrons. Some tailors
advertise by circulars to make perfectly
fitting garments from the measurement Of
the chest alone.-New York Mail and

Tho Always Needy Turk.

The Porte is before the powers again

forvermssion to issue loan of S25, ,000,-
200 on the Egyptian and Cyprus tributes,
and the other that the powers will nomin-
ate some candidate for the Bulgarian
throne who will he acceptable to the
Sobranje Both requests are in the line
of chronic helplessness which has long
been associated with Turkey. The puazll
in her finances Is how she constantly manE
ages, when apparently beyond the bottom'
OF her cash aud quite ut the bottom of her
credit, to hunt up some new article OF
value to pawn or some old one on which
an additional mortgage is possible. With
billion dollars or so of debt, on which
only fractional interest is paid, she was
able not long ago TO pledge some of her
railways for money with which to buy
guns and ammunition. Now comes an
other device, and the wonder Is where it
wiz all end. Perhaps she will begin soon
toBell out some of her islands or outlying
provinces If the powers will allow each
other TO buy them-New York Times.

The Travelling Public to blame.

Perhaps collisions ut sea between great
steamships will become entirely impos-
sible some day; but it will not be until
the travelling public gets over its present
hurry. If steamships came to n full stop
the moment the fog settled down on them,
or just as soon rs another fog horn than
their own was heard, there would not be
any serious chance of their coming to-
gether BY n code of signpls under such
circumstances one vessel might even nd-
vance slowly while the other stood ready
to back, until 1t was certain that they had
passed each other. But this would he
slow work, ard the growing of the pas
sengefs at the delay would probably

Clancarty has to importune, first her
