ADJUSTMENTS.
s.Rosedale'' 1t Coraray's.


The second performance Of "Rosedale''
at Cordray's last night ran more smoothly
than ON Monday, and afforded better
satisfaction to the audience. Miss Agnes
Lane was unable TO assume her role from
severe nervous prostration, and her place
was filled temporarily by Mrs. w. E. Rock
for such limited time of preparation and
rehearsal, and showed herself familiar
with the arts peculiar to the stage. Miss
Mamie Gilroy is making a hit as Rosa
Leigh, and is as sprightly as she is grace
full. Miss Margaret Marshall presents
Tabitha Stark in a very realistic manner,
and her Improvisation stands out truer
this week than that Of any one of her col
leagues.
Mr.. George Berry's delineation Of Nc
Kenna is strongly drawn, and Mr.. Clay
Clements Elliott Gray, while not up to
his usual standard, presents a fair picture
of the original. Mr.. Sam Morris dresses
Burberry Cobb like o lackey on first in
Producing himself to the audience. An
English country squire is at least gentle
man, If little brusque in manner. The
faithfulness which generally marks Mr..
Morris work. Miss Conchita, to please
the groundlings, reduces the character Of
the English servant girl to that of semi
idiot. She takes such objectionable lib
erty with her superiors that spectator
can inwardly thank God that such things
are not prevalent in America. Her songs
are rendered with native talent, and are
both expressive and highly taking. Mat
thew Leigh is cleverly presented by Mr..
David Elmer, who succeeds in gaining APP
plause at the conclusion of several telling
speeches The remaining characters were
creditably assumed.

Last month the Oregon Improvement
Company brought suit against six of the
1lscharged Newcastle miners, named
Nalter Saxby, William Ryan, Thomas
Taylor. J. T. Varty, Evan Morgan and
William Penman, for the purpose of eject
~ them from the premises they occupied.
he company claimed the property, and
liked for an order of court on these men
70 compel them to show cause why they
should not relinquish possession of the
spfemises.
The cases were continued from time to
Time and were called yesterday, but the
lailroad company moved for another con-
6nuance. Judge Osborn denied the mo-
hon and discharged the rule on the de-
tendants to show cause. This soperates
virtually as dismissal Of the suits against
thee miners and permits them to retain
possession of the buildings they occupy
tOe the present, at any rate.

Expert whitcher's report of the EXAM

placed on file. 1t was a voluminous re-
port, and treated the various accounts in q
clear and impartial manner. 1t stated the
books in the main were correct, pointed
out few errors, suggested q number of
improvements and recommended their
adoption.
The ordinance for franchise for water
works came up for consideration. Mr..
Kilworth moved to lay the ordinance on
the table. Mr.. Dow stated he had found
the residents opposed to granting . fran
chise, and moved that the fire and water

tenn could be bought and improved SO as
to supply city of 5000 inhabitants. Mr..
Dow 3 motion prevailed.

FOR FREE SILVER.
A Montana Mining Man Tells His States
Sentiment.

Mr.. and Mrs. B. +. McDevitt, of Butte,
are at the Grand hotel, stopping for few
days on their way home from Southern
California. Mr.. McDevitt is a well-known
mining man, being connected with the Pa
cific and other mining properties about
Butte. "Silver will never be stable in
price," said he. last evening until We
have free coinage. Under the present law
for buying it as pig-iron is bought, the
price has run as high as 81. 20 an ounce. but
now it is down to 97A cents. This tiuctua-
ton is due to speculation, but If the
United States would always take
the metal at its real value
as proposed by the free coinage men the
ratio between silver and gold could be
easily maintained.
Il have no doubt whatever that the next
congress will pass q free coinage act.
suppose that President Harrison would
veto the bill; but the silver men of the
south and West are in earnest and will
work and wait until 1892, if need be. The
day of reckoning is sure to come some
time.
IA free coinage law will do much for
Montana, much for all the states of the
Pacific coast So far as l can learn the
Oregonian is the only paper of any stand
ing on the Coast opposing 1t.
Mr.. McDeyitt leaves today for his home.

whose hair and beard are perfectly white,
- now selling silver and plated ware.
In the course of talk last evening he
said: Il first went on the road May s,
nearly fifty-five years ago--and
have been on the road ever since. Yet
curing all that time ] have worked for
only five different firms.
when / began, the manufacturers of
New England used to send men with their
goods out as far as Ohio, then near to the
Western limit of civilization. Railroads
were practically useless for our purposes
There was q little road running from
Albany to Schenectady, another from
Troy to Saratoga, and from New York a
line went up through Harlem to Williams
bridge, which Is now within the New York
city limits.
"since we could not use these roads. We
started out in wagons with two and often
with four horses. I remember that nv
first trip was from Meriden with silver
and jewelry. We carried samples of the
goods the firm would supply. But letters
of credit, drafts, checks or Geographic
money orders were unknown; so we took
along Yankee notions to pay our way with.
l had four big boxes of such articles as
these'-and he took from his pocket q
wooden comb
Travelling was no light matter then,
for hotel accommodations were poor. We
had no matches, and SO to light my pipe
was forced to strike q flint.
"Since 1886 have been in every part of
the United States, and l have seen the
business of the commercial traveller grow
from a small beginning to its present enor-
nous proportions, when nearly every fac
tory and wholesale house in the country
has from one to 100 men on the road''

SOLID FACTS.
Judge Emerson Tells OF Ballard's Pre-
sent and Future ADVANTAGES.

Judge Emerson Tells Of Ballard's Pre-.
sent and Future Advantages.
The most assured way Of person con-
templating investment in any locality
finding out the exact condition of affairs
in the section of their choice, is to mingle
with the people assembled there, and hear
ing their views of the place when not on
the sell. Any one who attended the meet
ing of the business men of Ballard, who
gathered together Monday night for the
purpose of organizing a chamber Of com.
merce, could not have helped being deeply
impressed with the description Of Judge
Emerson, who outlined the advantages
the city possessed, when he acknowledged
the honor bestowed upon himby his sefec-
ton as chairman of the meetinge
No ieecy-lined clouds were drawn upon
to fill in the picture the Judge drew, but
actual facts which are apparent on all
sides were used in his remarks Of the
things which are offered by Dame Nature
to people who locate at Ballard Property
is cheap. The land level and the business
opportunities numerous. Homes can be
built for little money, while employment
can be secured right at home, if the aims
and objects of the organization are carried
out.
Whilst the city has numerous manufac-
turing industries within her border, there
is room for more. and with them come the
inhabitants. Right on this point the Judge
said: ut is true we have number Of
factories along our water front, but it is
not true that they are all which the CITY
will possess. We will view O thrilling
scene of busy machinery from one end Of
our bay front to another. Not only will
those places be taken up but scattered
throughout the entire city.
''The improvement Of our harbor will
tend to increase the advantages we now
have. Ships will bring and take cargoes
from here, and Ballard will be the princi-
pal city on the Sound. Those of us who
have remained here since year ago can
vouch for the advantages the city offers.
and it is these facts which should be put
before people looking for locations for
homes or business.
ballard today holds the kew to the
situation Of the proposed ship canal. We
have the harbor which viii mean vast
increases in the population and manufac-
turing industries. Ballard il to Seattle
what Minneapolis was to ST. Paul and it
will not be many years before Seattle will
be to Ballard what st. Paul is to Min
neapolis today. Everything assures us
that Ballard will be city of great impor-
lance and Seattle will no longer be able to
claim her as a suburb.
Let US keep up this organization and
furnish facts concerning our city and peo-
pie will come here, see our natural advan-
tages and do as you and l have done.
settle here and become prosperous citizens
of an energetic, manufacturing and ship
ping metropolis

On next Monday evening Corinnc will
make her initial bow to the Seattle public
in the splendid burlesque on Carmen"
Speaking of the late season in San Fran
cisco the Chronicle says:
"Carmen" flashes with fun, humor, song
and picturesque marches of handsome girls
in the handsomest costumes ever seen on
the Bush's stage. 1t appeals to the eye
with its elegant appointments and to the
ear with its harmonious music. Corinne
is as young, charming and magnetic as her
singer and talented buriesque actress. Ber-
nard Dyllyn does admirable work as the
supporting star of the company, and his
fine, resonant baritone voice is heard to
great advantage in the musical numbers,
and also in his special song turn.

The Force Bill.

The force bill is undoubtedly defeated
for the present term of congress In the
view of many this was necessary meas
ure to protect the freedom of the ballot
especially in the South But it seems the
approval Of the country at large is not
prepared to be given to this method. In
our own state the Australian method
seems well fitted to protect all in the ex-
ercise of their privilege. To an American
probably the next thing nearest his heart
to that of exercising his rights as man is
that of making for himself home.
At River Park. South Seattle, uneoualed
chances are offered to a man of moderate
means to acquire home and even to mt

Burglars broke into +. NJ. DeMoss' gen.

Monday night. They opened the back
door by means of skeleton key. Just
how much they stole is impossible for Mr..
D.Moss To know, but he missed several
,a;rs IF scissors some cigars and tobacco
and a bundle of soiled linen. After plum
derine DeMoss' store they crossed the
street and attempted to enter the grocery
store Of Tatro Bros, but the barking of a
large dog frightened them away, although
thew had bored hole in the rear door pre-
naratory to unlocking it.
