Isl Plunkard" at the Opera-House.

"Si PIunkard" at the Operations
The much-talked-of Yankee comedy, "Si
Plunkard," viii be presented at the opera-house
tonight for the first time in this city This or
ganization is headed by the well-known come
dian, ]. G. Lewis. The company carries its own
band and orchestra, which is said to be one of
thesbest travelling. The Courier, of Dubois, Pa in
speaking of this play, says:
ISL Plunkard" drew u large attendance last
night at the Central opera house, and gave very
good satisfaction. The people went there to
laugh, and their expectations were realized
with hundred hs has to spare. feature that
helped to fill the house was the parade; the
band played well, and the rustic makeup fore
Swallowed the scenes of the Yankee drama. Mr.
Lewis whistiing, singing, the German imper-
sonating, and also the orchestra, were all parts
worthy of the liberal patronage given. There is
nothing in the drama except as produced by
people competent to instruct the audience in the
characters they impersonate, and Mr.. Lewis
company did it successfully. The average thea
ter goer is Indifferent to the romance in a come
dy-orama, and he goes to laugh, and it is the
company having the actors to make him do it
that are successful. In Isl Plunkard" the peo-
pie saw the Yankee, not the lover

Large Audiences at Cordray.s.

The popularity of "The Planters Wife" needs
no other demonstration than that afforded by
scrutiny of the audiences which assemble night
after night at Cordrays theater. The characte.
OF the audiences is high-class and intelligent,
select and refined. The universal dictum re-
speeding the production is highly fiattering to
the members of the Cordray Company, and to
the management well. The setting of the
piece is really elaborate, and who is at all
skilled in judging of the scenic auxiliaries of .
play can have other than favorable criticism in
this case. Last nights performance met with
great applause, and reused the most apathetic
to a pitch of enthusiasm. The auditorium
features are excellent, and were witnessed by an
audience that completely filled the hall.

Firemen on a steamer strike.

Four hremen on the steamer City of Seattle
quit work last night on the arrival of the steam
er from Tacoma, and ss a result the boat was de-
iayed almost two hours in getting a new crew to
take their places before going out. The men
gave as their reason for the action that the work
was too hard; that the boilers were leaking and
1t was impossible to keep up steam. The officers
on the boat claimed that the only trouble with
the tiremen was that they wanted to loaf awhile
and that there would be no objection to their
doing so, provided they had given few hours
notice SO another crew could have been secured
without delaying the boat

The Port Angeles Road.

Mr.. L. Rockman and Mr.. Phil A. Dolan, bust
ness men, OF Port Angeles, are at the Occidental
hotel 1--WE are much interested in the Port
Angeles Southern railroad" said Mr.. Rockman
yesterday. 1.-THE money to build it is already
rBised, but a subsidy of land amounting to
$500 is wanted. OF this, S2S0,000 has already
been secured, and there is no doubt about
getting the other $4,000 for which solicitors are
now working. Since the road will be of no
great value until the connection between Port
Townsend and Olympia ia complete over the
Port Townsend Southern, there is no pressing
need for haste"

"Bottom of the Sea-"

Webster & Brady scenic production, "Bottom
of the Sea-, al the Seattle opera house last even
ing, brought out only fair house-hardly as
good an audience as it deserved The play
abounds in startling scenic effects, and the &C
tors were materially aided by the elaborate
scenery in making the production take well.
The company carries an immense amount of
stage machinery, and everything was perfectly
arranged. The scene at the bottom of the sea,
where a monster of the deep is seen swimming
in the water, is especially vivid. There is hardly
enough to the play to recognize plot, but there
Is woman in it, and the willy Greek adven-
turer who plays the villain finally reaches a
