"RoMEO AND JULIET"
Good Audience Witnesses the Romantic
Tragedy at the Opera-House.

Good Audience Witnesses the Romantic
Tragedy at the Opera-House.
"Romeo and Juliet was given at the
opera-house last evening before good au-
dienee by Adelaide Moore and her COM
pany, and if not notable production,
there was much merit in the entertain
ment and applause was frequent.
Miss Moore has fine stage presence,
and undoubtedly has studied the dramatic
art under capable instructors, but she is
not an ideal Juliet. Her voice is not sym
pathetic, hardly pleasing one, and in the
scenes where her beauty and grace make
the picture what it should be, her words
break the charm. The lady evidently was
suffering from severe cold, and to that
fact may be attributed at least part of
her failure to touch her hearers.
Mr.. Clement was an admirable Romeo.
He won the sympathy of his audience with
the first scene, and at the close of the
second act was honored with q curtain
call, which he fully deserved. He reads
Shakespeare's musical lines with intelli-
gence, and suits the action to the word.
His most imprisoned scenes were given
with no false notes, and his work alone
saved many from failure.
Mr.. Wheelock's Mercutio was piece of
fine acting, such as he never fails to give
his auditors and his many admirers look
forward 10 his appearance as Pyemalion
this evening with pleasant anticipation.
Miss Bingham was pleasing rs the Nurse.
but Mr.. Dolman was a wretched Erlar, and
even in his calmest moments was not in
telligible.
The costumes were elegant and the stage
management creditable. Taken altogether.
the company deserves kind words, and its
second appearance, this evening, in 'Pyg-
malion and Galatea," gives them an oppor-
tunity to strengthen the pleasing impress
sions they have made.

THEIR REASON DETHRONED.
Two Unfortunate Women Committed to
the Insane Asylum.

Two demented women were committed
to the insane asylum by Judge Lichten-
berg yesterday afternoon, and were inn
mediately sent to Steilaeoom in charge of
deputy sheriffs.
The first case was that of Christina
Esofsky, Polish German woman 81 years
of age, who has been wandering about
searching for her husband and friends,
whom she believes to be lost. She thinks
that everybody is plotting against her and
trying TO injure her, and she is especially
bitter against the telephone, which she re-
CARDS as an instrument of evil.
Laura Paulson, an unfortunate servant
girl. was the other victim for the mad
house. She is So years of age, and was in
the insane asylum at Copenhagen, Den
mark, for three years, but was released as
cured. Soon after her arrival in this state,
however, she got worse again. and seems
to have gone hopelessly insane. She
imagines people are abusing her, and in
her moments of madness tears her hair
and clothes, laughs and screams and talks.
incoherently She becomes so violent at
times that she has to be restrained lest she
iniure herself and others.

10 say that it was his intention. before
opening the theater, to have a pair of
glasses placed in box on the back of

glasses would then only have TO drop a
dime into the slot in the box, when it
would unlock. The opera-glasses are at

DAMAGES FOR DOG BITE.
A Vicious Canine Makes Its owner a
Legal Defendant.

vicious dog was the cause of a $3.50
damage suit now pending in Judge Humes'
court. The dog was owned by the defend
ant, s. Marine, who is a truck gardener re-
siding at Fourteenth street and Yesler
avenue, and L. o. Robinson and Carrie
Robinson are plaintiffs. According to the
plaintiffs statement Carrie Robinson went
TO Marines house on November ., 1890, to
purchase some vegetables, and was at
tackled by large dog which knocked her
down, tore her clothes, bit her in the side
and arm and frightened her so badly that
she was seriously i'll for several weeks and
required the constant attendance of
physician. Mrs. Robinson admitted know
ing the vicious character of the dog, and
defendant is trying to prove that in going
near dog of such a nature she was her
self careless, and was guilty of contribu-
tory negligence, and therefore not entitled
to recover.

CABLE ROAD MULCTED.
The Hawkins Get Verdict for $4,000
Against Front Street Line.

Against Front Street Line.
Mrs. Marie Hawkins and George Haw-
kins were awarded 5000 damages by the
jury in their case against the Front Street
Cable Railway Company i'll Judge os-
born's court yesterday.
The plaintiffs sued for SIS, 900 and alleged
that on May %. 1890, Mrs. Hawkins was
severely injured in an accident caused by
the carelessness and negligence of the con-
ductor of the cable line in running against
q wagon that was on the track. The col
lision with the wagon threw Mrs. Haw-
kins from the ear, and she claims so
bruised and injured her that she was seri-
ously i'll. and being enceinte at the time,
her injuries were so severe as to cause the
death of the unborn child.
The jury thought that So 600 was more
than the plaintiffs were entitled to, but
would not accept the defendants theory
that Mrs. Hawkins was guilty of contrib
utory negligence. The case will go TO the
supreme court.
