This evening the opera company will
produce again the charming opera.
"Iolanthe," at the opera-house. 1t will
be played the same as last night, with
pretty girls, magnificent costumes and fine
voices. The solo singers are of the best, as
may be seen from the cast. The chorus is
the strongest ever heard in the city. His
cxcellency, Governor Ferry, and family
will occupy box on the left of the stage.
There will be many theater parties of soci-
ETY. leaders present. Everyone in the city
should attend. and, if entertaining friends.
take them along and give them an evening
OF happiness and delight. The full First
Regiment orchestra is no small part of the
musical enjoyment. The opera should be
we'll patronized. Reserved seats at reduced
prices, %, 30 and 10 cents. They can be
obtained at the box office. lis James street

ARTISTIC DECORATIONS.

Store Front and Windows That Are
Worth Seeing.
None of the decorations of the stores on
Front street provoked more admiration
last evening than those of Hyams, Pauson
Co., at the northeast corner of Column
bia and Front. and constantly changing
crowd paused in front of the building, I'M
der the blaze of electric lamps and the
warmer, paler glow of Chinese lanterns.
Crayon pictures of President Harrison,
Secretary Rusk and Postmaster-General
Wanamaker appear side by side on the
wall with those of such leading men of
Seattle as Mayor White, Judge Burke and
John III. McGraw, while one of the win
dows is occupied by picture of the presi-
dents family-hirhself and Mrs. Harrison,
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Harrison. Mrs.
Mckee and Baby Mckee. In the center
of the wall is a square shield of
red, white and blue bunting, divided
diagonally into quarters and the lines run
ming diagonally from the center. Across
it is the name Harrison" in gilt letters.
To the left of this is an oblong shield with
diamond-shaped blue center across
which runs diagonally in gilt letters the
words "Our President" To the right is
another oblong shield striped diagonally
with the three national colors and bearing
the legend Welcome to Our Guests"
Above these will be another row of shields
of the same design with picture of Chief
Seattle in the center. The spaces between
the shields are filled up with neat circlets
of evergreens. The whole exterior of the
building is lighted up by twenty-six cleo
trio arc lamps, equal in power to 1900
candles, while 100 Chinese lanterns are
strung along the front of the building and
across the sidewalk.
The work of decoration was not quite
completed last night, but it will be per-
fected this morning. and the store win be
lighted up this evening so as to show it up
to the best effect.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Hon. George Il. vending.

Mr.. Vending delivers his popular lee
ture, Popular Decisions" Friday evening,
May s. The following, from the pen of
one of the editors of the Buffalo On. W
Daily Ncws, appeared in that journal, and
for its biographical interest, is reproduced
here:
Mr.. Vending, who lectured here Friday
night, has had a brilliant career at the bar and
in politics. remember well when be came con-
spicuously to the front in Illinois, and claimed
the attention Of men OF both parties when enter
ing upon his first Official trust 1t was back in
$50, when the convention that formed the pres
ent admirable constitution of the state was in
session at Springfield. 1t was one of the ablest
bodies that ever gathered in Illinois, which, by
the way, averages high as q mother of intellec-
tual giants. In this body sat ex-United States
senators, ex-governors and many of the ablest
jurists of Illinois. Vending, q stripping,
boyish-looking young man, was member from
one of the districts OF Central Illinois. The
youthful member attracted little attention until
one day grave question involving the relations
of the state and federal governments, and the
constitutional limitations of each was under
consideration. Young Vending took the floor
and electrified his colleagues with discourse
SO exhaustive and mastery that it Immediately
gave him front rank with the most profound
thinkers OF the bench and bar. It was the one
speech of the convention that was published in
full by the leading papers of the state. and the
day following its delivery the beardless lawyer
woke up to find himself famous. He has worn
his honors modestiy, and has never allowed po-
ltical ambition to turn his head.
Seats are now on sale at Stewart &
Holmes and Barnes & Co. 8 drug stores.

The interest in this magnificent property
continues undated, and it is being sold
very rapidly. Probably no other property
on the market has sold so rapidly, and
without resort to any sensational methods.
We have had occasion to refer at times to
the peculiar location of this property. The
Lake Union peninsula, the very best part
of which is occupied by this addition, is
formation so unique as to be in one sense
incompatible. Other sites in the city,
usually of very limited area, afford an ex-
cellent view of some part of the city, or of
the great natural features--lakes, bay and
mountains-that surround it, but from the
Davis Broadway addition a panoramic
view is unrolled TO the eye that embraces
all prominent features not only Of the
city but of the entire region. This is not
an extravagant statement. The main part
of the city and its principal suburban
towns, the Sound, Salmon bay, Lakes
Union and Washington, the Cascade and
Olympic ranges, Mount Baker and Mount
Rainier are all embraced in one grand COM
prehensive view from this property. A
stranger might infer from the above state
ment of facts that Davis Broadway addi-
ton was a subdivision of snowdrifts ON
the highest mountain in the world, desc
late expanse of snow and rocks, with a
marked tendency to the perpendicular in
every direction.
1t would surprise one to know that q
gentle eminence, with gradual slopes, is
the actual spot from which this magnifi-
cent view can be had.
Remember that in this admirable addi-
ton, mountain spring water, clear, pure
and healthful, is obtained at depth of
fifteen to twenty feet. No pollution posi-
BILE; no shutting off supply because of UNI
paid water tax. No danger from typhus
and diphtheria germs; no sanitary inspec-
tor with his nausueating analyses and
blood-curdling insinuations.
And the soil, deep. rich and loamy, on
which vegetation feeds with the gusto of
an epicure. On single lot fruit and veg
etables can be raised sufficient for any or
binary family, and still leave the grass
plat, flower beds and poultry yard sacred
TO their respective functions.
Any industrious man can have an ideal
home in this addition by little effort. A
site suitable for the finest residence is as
free to the workingman as to the million
aire.
We do not require you to build on this
addition. We want you to build and will
help you to do it.
To enable the deserving people of this
city to obtain homes with little effort, we
are furnishing the use Of land free to those
who will build, and will let you build &C
cording to your plans and means. We
will assist you in every rational way.
Davis Broadway addition will have
three lines of electric railway. One will
be completed this month, the Broadway
line by June 18th, and the Albert street
and Lake View avenue within ninety DAYS.
Any of these lines will carry you from
Pioneer place to the addition in less than
twenty minutes.
Call on f. ]. Monroe & Co., lis James
street, or f. NJ. Davis, 6 Colonial block,
and procure your lot before the advance in
prices.

Mrs. Phila Gregory, woman with q
mysterious former life. attempted suicide
Yesterday in room 43 of the American
lodging-house, by taking half an ounce of
choral hydrate. She was discovered sew
eral hours after having taken the poison
and DR.. G. H. T. Sparkling was called in
and succeeded in resuscitating her. On a
small stand near the head of the bed was
this note written in pencil on plain, blue
lined note paper:

desire to live any longer"
For several weeks the woman was in
Providence hospital sick with typhoid.
She had no money and DR.. Sparkling
attended her at the expense of the city.
Sickness left her very weak, but she re-
fused charity. saying she could do dress
making or anything. To DR.. Sparkling she
said that she was formerly from Texas;
that she got divorce from her husband in
that state, and that he was the sole cause
of her broken health and sorrow. She is
only % years old, but her hair is gray and
she looks fully IS. She is quite clever
painter.
few nights ago the woman left the
lodging-house in respondent frame of
mind, and several men, suspecting that
she meant to kill herself, followed her.
She went direct to Yesler's wharf, and was
in the act of jumping in the bay, when she
was caught and led back to her room. She
afterward secured revolver and would
have shot herself, but it was taken from
her. Then she moaned and cried and
prayed that she might die, saying she had
neither friends nor money.
DR.. Sparkling says the woman is bright
and intelligent, and he fears that the mys-
terious weight that is bearing on her mind
will lead her to another and more success

For the Aid Of the widow.

The fund for the relief of the widow of
Hugh s. Hughes, the plasterer who was
drowned in Lake Union last Saturday

them were: w. d. Lambuth, IS; w. T.

and the treasurer cashed II for him.
Among the hundreds Of certificates thus
presented BY kennedy Is one drawn in
favor of Professor E. s. Ingraham for

check il endorsed by Robert Risk, !" who
is believed to be Kennedy. A certificate

Rice. It is given to aN. J. Stewart
The other certificates al seem to be fixed"
similarly.
kennedy refuses to talk Of his case, but
denies his guilt.
McGoughey was seen at his lodgings by
Mr.. Spencer. He denied that he has been
dishonest. He maintains that what his
books show is correct; that there have been
no forgeries and that there are no ficti-
tious names on the certificates.
AcGaughey has lived in Seattle for many
years, and since he has been in Judge
Humes' court he has made many friends,
and Mr.. Spencer recognized in him most
capable deputy. Two years ago Nc
Gaughey was clerk in the United States
land Office. under Register Reed and Re
ceiver Hayden.
Kennedy's parents are from Kansas.
They lately moved to Seattle, and with
their two sons, live at the corner of Fifth
and Lenora streets. Kennedy is about 26
years old, and has many friends. He has
always been regarded as most exemplary
young man.
Speaking of the case last evening. Mr..
Twicheil said: I'VE will push the case
against McGaughey and Kennedy. We
gave them q chance to settle up and If
they had done so, the matter would have
been kept from the public. They have
done absolutely nothing since they knew
they were found out and now their day OF
grace is past. 1t beats me how they would
endanger their liberty for such small
sum; but the evidence is against them and
guess they are in for it. ;"

Mr.. Spencer is positive that many names
lit may be hundreds-have been forged.
The manner of working was very clever
and seems TO have been the result of long
study. for the books show that dishonesty
has continually been practiced since last
August.
The theory Is that McGaughey would
make out piece of scrip for a petit Juror
or witness, but the scrip would not be
given 10 the person to whom il was issued.
II would be given to Kennedy, and the
ssub-book in McGaughey's possession
would show that the scrip was turned
over to-(here would appear a fictitious
signatureh or order. Over $500 worth of
this scrip has been issued to supposed
fictitious persons, and the clerk can show
no orders from the proper owners.
For instance: Richard Agassiz acted as
petit juror before Judge Humes, Janu-
airy S, and McGanghey made Out a certii-
cate as follows:
