prospect is that the demand will have
so much increased as to find ready
local sale for its product.
Monday night about IL o'clock, Mrs.
Oliver Mattson found neatly dressed
little girl baby in willow basket on
her doorstep. 1t was taken in and
cared for by the hospitable hands in
which it had fallen. No trace has so
far been obtained as to its parentage.
The waif is fortunate, even though it
has been cast up on the wave OF
destiny, for it has since found a good
home in the family of Mr.. and Mrs.
C. NJ. Moore, who have adopted it,
1t is seldom that people who have
lived in our glorious country long
enough to become acclimated leave,
but an occasional instance is afforded
to constitute an exception to the rule.
Mr.. S. A Epperly and wife left this
week for Roanoke, Va, their former
home, after a residence of two years in
this city. Mr.. Z. leaves solely on ac-
count of the wishes of his wife, who
has been unable to overcome her
preferences for the old home. 1t
seems peculiarly unfortunate for the
parties that a change should have been
determined upon just at the time
when the country is surging ahead so
rapidly to a permanent prosperity.
Albert A. Manning, who died at Sc
attic, last week, was for several years a
resident of this city and was well-known
to many of our older residents. He
came to Washington with the memoir
able group of immigrants by the
steamship Continental, which was
fitted out for the purpose by Hon. A.
Is. Mercer. Most of the party were
women, many OF whom are still living.
Mr.. Manning was man of earnest
convictions and was bold in expressing
them. Like all positive men. he had
enemies, but numbered many warm
friends who will give him credit for
honesty of purpose and the possession
of many sterling virtues. He was 20
years of age, and served with credit in
one OF the Massachusetts regiments
in the war against rebellion. He was
a member of Stevens Post, G. A. R.,
of Seattle, who buried him with the
honors of comrade.
Caroline Gage and Harry F. Keene's
company of players who performed a
weeks engagement at Columbia Hall,
about six weeks ago, in "Queena,"
Mr.. Barnes, of New York." "A
Night Off," etc, and who gave by far
the best satisfaction of any company
that has appeared here the past win
ter, have been induced to return to
Olympia for three nights engage
ment commencing Thursday, May Sth,
They will change the piece each
evening and will play nothing per-
formed during their former engage
ment here, unless requested by
the citizens. The company have an
extensive repertoire, comprising The
Pearl of Savoy" Esmeralda" and
I" The Two Orphans" each of which
had an immense run during the COM
pany's two weeks engagement in
Portland. Camille" "Our Boys"
"The Planters Wife," PASSIONS
Slave" Daughter of the Regiment"
The Farmers Daughter" and "The
Lancashire Lass" including sixteen
other sparkling comedies, beautiful
melodramas and powerful sensational
pieces, out of which the company will
select different piece for each night.
Miss Gage and her company are SO
tfavorably known to our citizens that
nothing further neel be said. The
mere mention of the fact that she is
coming again will be sufficient to
pack the house.
