Sunday evening Mr.. S. Lenox was
stopped by two men on the route OF
the 0. & c. V. railroad, who demand
ed his clothing with such emphasis
that he incontinently pealed down to
his shirt and drawers, which they
magnanimously allowed him to retain.
Mr.. L. had to walk several miles be-
fore he could find relief from the pinch
ing cold. The robbers have not yet
been identified.
1t is to be regretted that those who
are engaged in painting the new hotel
have not studied some elementary
work on harmony of colors. The ex-
cellent work on that building, in other
respects, has been so we'll done, that it
is pity its symmetry should be mared
from this cause. A single color would
have been preferable to a succession Of
streaks and stripes, evidently flung to-
gether without the slightest regard for
property or reason.
The steamer Sehome arrived at Sc
attic yesterday afternoon, from the
Columbia. She is 200 feet long, 30
feet beam, 10t feet depth Of hold, and
is built particularly strong and we'll
fastened. She has twenty-eight state
rooms, which will accommodate eighty
four passengers. She is licensed to
carry $50. 1t has not yet been de-
cided where she will run, but she may
be temporarily placed on the Seattle
Olympia route.
Those who find amusement in Irish
excentricities will have rare treat
Monday and Tuesday night, in the de-
lineations of character of that droll
and humorous people. As the brilliant
musical comedy, kitty from Cork, "
will be presented by the aid of a
large amount of beautiful scenery, il.
Illustrative of prominent historical
places in Ireland, an interest will be
added to the comedy that is not usual
ly afforded by travelling companies.
The Ladies' Relief Society tender
their sincere thanks to the many
friends for their generous contribution
and liberal patronage on the occasion
of the concert and ball, especially
to General O'Brien and the Olympia
String Band, who sacrificed the even
ing to sweet charity" and to those
who favored the occasion with vocal
selections, all of whom contributed 90
ably to the enjoyment of the occasion
The net proceeds amounted to 1926.
