man of culture and q soldier of the truest
courage. To have such . man bullied by beetle.
brewed woman of huge proportions and heavy
lung power is to me simply monstrous. Such .
man is to be moved through his affections, and
Shakespeare made the wife lovable, and abe
leads HIM down to death through the tenderest
ties of the heart. The play says this; his homely
epithets OF love indicate it beyond question
That she had force of character superior to
his IN no way antagonizes my theory. A subtle,

How Shakespeare must have loved this creation

Inc census enumerators are not vet
through their troubles. They thought
when the supplemental count of the city
Was completed that they had no more to do
with the census Of 1880 than to patiently
wait to be paid. They were beginning to
weary OF waiting when few days ago let
tiers from the census bureau, dated August
%. began to arrive which made some of
them more weary.
Among the questions on the population
schedule was one which read: Have
there been any deaths In your family dur
Ing the past year, and how many ?n There
wAs vaeueness about this question which
puzzled the enumerators at the time they
were making the count, and some Of them
passed it over. Others, being in doubt
whether 1t referred to deaths in Seattle or
deaths in any part OF the United States or
the universe from which the person interrog-
ated might have come during the past
year interpreted it to refer only to deaths
In Seattle. Toe consequences was great

5000 names reporting emily six deaths. As
such statistics would be vaiueless as a basis
for comparison of the health of different
cities and sections and of the relative lon
gevity OF races and of residents in different
sections. the census beaurea has sent out
letters pointing out this defect and request
ing the enumerators TO verify their returns
Until the returns as to death are corrected
1t is understood that no money will be
forthcoming from the government So far

These circulars in regard to death re-
turns have not yet reached all the enumer-
ators, and those who have not received
them are still wondering why they do not
get their money. Of those who have re-
sceived them some have gone over their
districts again and collected the death
statistics anew. Others have taken no
notice OF the circulars, perhaps being so
weary of the whole census business as not
to care little whether their neglect results
IN the loss of their wages or not. Others
have moved away and have abandoned the
scene of their census tolls.
Similar circulars have been sent all over
the country, indicating that the death
statistics were as imperfect elsewhere as
they are in Seattle, and men who were
enumerators in other sections have stated
to Thomas w. Prosch that they have not
yet been paid. Thus the work of even
collecting the census returns is not vet fin
ished and only small proportion Of it has
been paid for.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Probably no melOdrama ever put on the
stage has excelied in realistic stage settings
those introduced in .sThe Stowaway, !"
which is to be produced at the Seattle opera
house tonight. Nor is this stage realism
confined to . single field. Sea and shore,
city and country, are in turn the field of
action. Now the spectator is shown Lon
don by gaslight; little later in fancy he is
miles from land on the deck of q vessel.
One entire act takes place upon the deck of
full-rigged yacht In another scene an
English manor house is realistically put on
IS the scene of action. II is not alone in
the settings, however, that the merit of
the play lies. They are but the aids to q
plot OF absorbing interest, in which there
is q judicious mixture OF the tragic and the
comic. The central figure in the story
is Tom Ingliss, who, abandoned by
his father in childhood and left
to work out his own future amid the slums
of London, yet rises above his surround
ings to better things. The gist of the plot
is made up of the enceavors of an an
scrupulous cousin of the hero to put Tom
ont of the way in order to further his own
interests. Young Ingliss is himself in
ignorance of the fact that his father is
living, and the villianous cousin wishes to
get rid of him in order that he him.

gamer in case of the old mans death.
Among the startling incidents of the play
are the attempted robbery Of the house of
Toms father, which is foiled by the brav-
cry and address of the son, in. ignorance.
however, of whom he is aiding. At
another time the hero is enticed on board
q yacht by the scheming cousin and car
ried to sea prisoner, but eventually is re-
leased through the Intervention of the
Stoway, ana the right finally triumphs.
The cast is a strong one. incIud-
ing In its ranks such recognized
talent as Mark Lynch, Walter
Edwards. Harry Booker. Maude Edna
Hall, Libby Kirke and Madge Carr. The
list would not be complete without mention
OF "Spike" Hennessy and kid" Mccoy,
the two famous eA-cracksmen. In one
scene these reformed crooks give scientific
exposition of safe-blowing that cannot fail
to call forth admiration for the skill exhib-
tied. Beside snch realism as this, the tank
of real water and the burning building
must take q back seat.

eEArTLE, Oct /, 1900
Miss Bushnell-Dear Friend: am taking the
liberty Of addressing you in a few lines regard
ing myself and husband. have no doubt it
will not be much OF surprise to you about
what am going to tell you. Well, in the FIRST
place. met my husband shortly after he landed
in Seattle from his trip In England and was
very much delighted to see him again. We had
not been long together when he related to me
all that had trsnspired between you and him,
and you may depend was very mach surprised
and very sorry to hear it You may imagine
my feelings better than I can tell you.
OF course 1t Is true we have hid didi-
culties. as . great many more have had,
before AZ. We have been twenty-five years mar
ried, and could never bear the idea OF him
marrying another woman. 1t would just kill
me. We have just had q consultation together,
and naturally we have feeling which never
can be overcome. He also spoke OF you very
highly TO me, but for my sake hope you will
Try and forget anything that has passed between
you and him, aud know the Lord will reward
you. and hope you will meet with some one
that will be more worthy and deserving OF you
Mr.. Williams was in town yesterday aud called
upon me, and showed me letter he had just
received from you. He was just going off to the
country for week or two, place called Avon
dale. I told him / would write
You q letter myself and explain mat
tiers TO you, and know your
good sense will show you how much better it
would be for you to forget AL about HIM. / am
terribly worked up over the matter, and no
doubt Ii you were in my place you would just
feel the same yourself, and as there 10 nothing
seriously happened between you aud him you
can more readily forget him. Hoping you viii
soon forget this little adventure and be careful
in the future, as know young girls are easily
advised sometimes. Should you have anything
to communicate to me will be pleased to hear
from you. Meantime, will add no more, and
believe me to remain yours very respectfully,
