Seattle Opera House.

Professor Herrmann's Trans Atlanti-
ques, vaudeville combination which was
seen here last season, will begin a three
nights engagement at the Seattle opera
house, commencing Monday next. The
company gives one of those clean. high
class speciality performances which have
found their way into the leading legitimate
theaters in this country, and which are
favorably received by the patrons of these
theaters when the specialties are possessed
of unquestionable merit. The programme
presented by the Hermann company last
year found favor with local audiences, and
it is claimed by the management that it
has since been improved as whole. The
organization is entirely new, Mr.. George
w. Lederer, the director of all the Herr
mann enterprises, having travelled in both
Europe and America last spring and sum-
mer in quest of performers. The list of
speciality people this season is as follows:
Americas favorite eomedienne, Flora Moore;
the Glinseretti troupe of five royal drawing
room acrobats. from the Hippodrome, Paris and
are said TO be the only troupe OF its kind that
has ever appeared before H. +. NJ, Queen Vic
toria and the royal family.

THE MAYORS REASON.
Why He Accepted the Salary
Bill as Valid.
THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Policy Of the City as to Street Work
Alderman Wilcox Explains His
License Scheme.

The mayor has signed the salary ordi-
nance without referring TO the legality of
its course through the city council. He
takes the ground that the president Of
each house having signed it, the rules OF
the house, of which the members them
selves must be the judges, must have been
complied with.
~ think ii would not be respectful to the
legislative branch of the government to
question the validity of document COM
ing TO me with the signatures of the two
presidents. Ii they cannot determine
question as to their own rules, how can /?
The mayor is endowed by the charter with
the veto power, but / think it should be ex-
ercised with extreme discretion, and rarely
in face of the deliberate action of unques-
toned majorities in both houses. am to
assume that bill, signed openly in the pres
ence of both houses, has the legal sanction
of those bodies, which means majority
vote merely.
AS 10 my opinion of the bill, do not
approve of every item in II; but 1t was per-
haps the best compromise that could be
reached where there was such wide di-
vergence of views

WHAT CAN SHE DO BUT DIEg
Sorrows OF an Old Woman Driven Out
of Home.

OF Home.
Commissioner Fred Gasch had Just
stepped into the auditors Office yesterday
evening, when he was confronted by an
aged, withered old woman, who walked
laboriously with stick. BE you Mr..
Gaseh,'' inquired the old woman. After
being satisfied that he was, she said:
my name is Mrs. Anna Curtis. I'm 10
years old and ME only daughter has turned
her back on her poor old mother and has
showed her ont in the cold.n
Mrs. Curtis wanted TO go to the poor
farm, and Mr.. Gasch made arrangements
to take her there today. It was learned
that Mrs. Curtis daughter was Mrs. Nc
Gee who, with household of nve child
rem, lives in humble house on University
and Eighth streets. Mr.. Gasch has a
knowledge of the family. Hardships have
been encountered by the mother, with her
children TO care for, and she il said TO have
turned her heart against her aged COM
planning mother, and yesterday morning
at daylight she drove her from the house.
The commissioner made preparations for
place for the old woman to stay until to-
day and was turning away when she called
him back. The tears yelling from her
eyes. she said:
"Mr. Gasch, / have not had bite to eat,
not a piece of bread all day, and
I'm feared I'm hungry" 1t is needless
to say the kind-hearted commissioner
started with Mrs. Curtis for the nearest
restaurant, where her hunger was appeased.

INCORRIGIBLE YOUNGSTERS.
The Guilty Gang" of Boys Again at
Liberty.

The eight or ten young men, members OF
the Guilty gang of burglars and thieves,
arrested twenty days ago for vagrancy,
served their sentences and were all re-
leased yesterday.
Keep sharp eye. now" was the or
der given to the policemen going out on
their beats, and the result was that before
eight hours had rolled around two of the
boys were again in Jail, with good pros
poets of staying there for awhile. Officers
Cave and Miller caught John Burk and
Charles Jones in the act of stealing dog
skin coat. a rubber overcoat and pair OF
trousers from Railroad avenue second
hand store. A charge of petty larceny
was put against them.
Still half dozen of the tough gang were
out when the night patrol reported for
duty, and Look out for hold-ups, robbie
ries and MURDERS" was the charge given
the men as they marched out.
Twill all those fellows locked up for a
month past for highway robbery and petty

THE LICENSE SCHEME.
Alderman Frank N. Wilcox Explains
His Plan.

Alderman Frank \. Wilcox, when asked
Yesterday about his plan for imposing
licenses upon most of the shops, stores and
trades in the city, said: .'The point is
Just here: Seattle will not have money
enough to pay its salaries on the LIST Of
January, nor can it on the LIST of February
pay the men at work on its streets. So
you see we must do something. The issu-
ing of scrip is very expensive. The work
men demand at least 10 per cent. more pay
when they get scrip, and then the city has
10 pay 10 per cent. interest on this depreci-
ated currency. That makes 20 per cent
extra the city is paying Git is really q per
cent. to be exaet) out for its expenses.
We simply can't stand that, for the 20 per
cent. is added to the tax of every man pay
ing taxes in this city.
9 At present the real estate really bears
sill the taxes. Now my scheme is to issue
licenses pretty generally and get cash for
for them, so that we can pay our city en-
ployes in cash and thus avoid the 20 per
cent. extra. When man takes out a
license for pursuing any special occupa-
ton, then propose that that amount shall
be deducted from his regular tax. So You
see the license will not affect the regular
taxpayer the first dollar, but it will SIM
ply impose tax on many who now enjoy
the advantages of city government. police
and fire protection, lights and sidewalks
without paying cent.
Il urge in behalf of my plan that it will
give us ready money to pay our men, and
we shall thus save II per cent. that it will
distribute the burden of taxation; that it
is better few should perhaps suffer a
hardship from paying licenses than have
the city finances go as they have been GO
ing.
II am anxious TO find whether or not
the people generally approve of this
scheme. am sure that if it is understood
it viii be approved.
