.fonte Criston a. Cordray,..

"Monte Cristo" was produced last night
at Cordray's new theater before fam
sized audience. and met with cordial re-
ception from many points of view.
Alexander Dumas famous romance has
been read SO often, and the dramatization
of the book seen so frequently that it be-
comes unnecessary to review the story. 1t
is highly sensational in plot. The interest
is sustained and increased with each sue
cessive scene; each climax is stronger than
that which precedes it. The play gives
ample opportunity for all lines of character
acting, there being, however. an INSULT
cient amount of iightness and comedy to
relieve the heavy and bloody deeds of the
hero. seeking retribution. The story is
thoroughly French in every detail.
The central character is Edmund
Dantes. Mr. W. A. Nhitecar played the
triple role of Dantes, the Able Busoni
and Count of Monte Cristo. Mr.. White
cars Interpretation of the heroic title role
in many ways compared favorahly with
those who have preceded him. His decla-
nation is good. his stage presence appro-
pirate, while there was an absence of rant
which it is a pleasure to witness in the
portrayal of a role in which that tempta-
ton exists.
Mr.. Lorimer Johnson, as Nortier, gave
about the best work he has ever done in
Seattle. He shared the honors of the
evening with the star. His splendid act
ing IN the Inn scene, wherein he bravely
bares his breast TO the murderous knife
of treacherous brother, showed evidence
of study and improvement. He needs to
pay more attention to clearness of enunci-
alton, however, TO make any great adj
vance in his chosen profession.
Neither Mr.. Fessler nor Mr.. Val Love
quite came up TO the requirements of their
respective parts. Mr.. Fessler lacked fire
and Mr.. Love chewed up his words in such
way that about half of each sentence was
lost before it reached the auditors in the
parquet.
Mr.. C. NJ. Gray had few opportunities to
cause laughter, but occasionally he wrung
it forth with ease. Mr.. GRAY has quite an
amount of talent for comedy, but he talks
through his nose tocsuch an extent that
much of his good, clever work is lost upon
the audience.
Miss Laura Alberta. as Mercedes, is not
given part which presents much oppor-
tunity for the display of ability which she
possesses. She sustained herself we'll.
however, aud made the most of limited
chance. Her costumes were charming.
Miss Kitty Belmour had a ene-scene op-
portunity and did surprisingly clever
work. Miss Kate Dalgleish, in the male
role of Albert de Mercerf, looked very
beautiful, but acted her part and spoke
her line with little or no enthusiasm.
The costumes and scenery were more
than ordinarily good. In the former there
was an attempt at historical accuracy; in
the latter especiaTeffort had been made TO
produce realistic results. As whole the
performance was remarkably good. There
will be the usual Wednesday and Saturday
matinees

laying machinery prevented them from
reaching the mouth of Percival's creek on
Saturday night, as was expected. and the
last rail, which comes within two or three
feet of the Port Townsend Southern track,
was laid this morning.
Further work was prevented by big
Port Townsend engine which stood on the
conpany's track and guarded the crossing.
No attempt was made TO proceed, but the
Northern Pacific men returned to their
camp to await orders from their officials.
The Port Townsend Southern people are
mum, as are also the Northern. Some say
the latter refuses to sign an agreement to
bear the expenses of maintaining the cross
ing. There is good deal of indignation
around town against the Port Townsend
Southern for indulging in the obstruction
tactics

preparations for giving series of open-air
concerts in the band-stand on the Univer-

terpieces as Rossini's William Tell"
Nicolai's Merry Wives OF Windsor"
Meyerbeer's Roberto il Diavolo," and
Won Weber's der Freischutz." In addi-
ton to this advanced class of selections it
has almost an endless supply of dance
music and popular airs. The concerts are
sure to prove treat to lovers of music.

Anson's Umpire Friend Gives Tony Mullane
aDose Similar to Hanlon's.
Umpire Powers has been letting himself loose
again. The Cincinnati Enquirer has the fol-
lowing to say to the friend of Anson:
After the game yesterday Tony Mullane and
Umpire Powers had some trouble near the
clubhouse. Powers was TO blame for the con-
troversy. He gave Mullane an awful deal
while the came WAS in progress and then soaked
him $3.50 in fines simply because Tony grumbled
and asked him to come closer to the bat and
pay more attention to his delivery. On the
way down TO the clubhouse Powers said to
Mullane in a sort of aporogetical manner. 4

"'Oh, get OUT said Mullane, no one asked
you to rob them. lonly wanted what belonged

Powers said something in return and Mullane

In a most exasperating way. put his face right

strike me- 1t was a oowardIy act on the part
of Powers for he well knew that if Mullane hit
him it would mean disgrace and retirement
from the game. for, under the rules, he would
have been expelled. Mullane almost forgot
himself II was all he could do to restrain
himself. He simply pushed Powers face
away. Then other players separated them.
When Powers left the lot he said that the fine
of $3.50 he put on Mullane would CO. Every
body at the game was disguised with the um-
