formers appeared most advantageously
No play yet placed on the Cordray boards
has afforded an equal opportunity
for the company to show individual
merit. There are weaknesses and defects
apparent, but these arc lost sight of while
observing the general excellence Of the
representation. The contest between
Jacques and Pierre was most realistic, aud
applauded to the echo~the two gentlemen
who sustained the characters, Mr.. George
Berry and Mr.. J. j. Williams veil descry-
ing the recognition of their good work.
Today's matinee should be we'll attended,
as the performance is in every way worthy
Of liberal patronage.

fBALLAED INTERESTS.
'4oyfe Who Watch the Progress Of All
Ma{IeYn.

Ballard citizens now have the privilege
OF enjoying hrst-class theatrical perform
ances without the necessity Of going from
| home to meet their desires. The new
theater which has been arranged at the
Broadway hall is adjusted for the best
class o. performances travelling through
the Northwest. Matters are now being
arranged to have some of the best shows
in the country appear at Ballard, which in
theatrical parlance is good show town.
Before the fire in Berge' g hall the troupes
which usually appeared were what are
known as transformers but since the
completion Of the new theatcr an entirely
different class of shows have been billed
for Ballard, and appeared before paying
houses.
The johnson Ministries which appeared
Monday night had good house which
was composed Of the best people in the
city. While the people of Ballard are en-
deavoring to secure wealth they are at the
same time enjoying life, and anything
which will improve the mind or result in
few hours legitimate pastime is bound
to receive support from the citizens.
This fact is clearly illustrated by the
unanimous feeling which prevails in the
building OF the new schoolhouse. Every
one seems to sanction the steps taken in
this direction. as it is the universal desire
that alEpossible opportunity be given the
young idea to shoot correctly. Then again
the recent drill of the young ladies who
manipulate the broom was patronized by
the citizens at large.
Not only do they take particular interest
In the everyday welfare of the people at
large, but they take remarkable degree
OF interest in all the products Of the city.
Ever since the Bailey Gatzert was launched
from Hollands shipysrd the people of
Ballard have watched for her record as
swift steamer, and at every report Of her
passing some rival steamer, due enthusi-
asm is pronounced.
As city, the people take more active
interest in the doings of individuals or
products which will give honor or business
TO the city, than any other place along
the Sound.
They are just right in this respect, and
have been the means of placing the city
upon her present substantial basis.

IN HONOR OF JEFFERSON.
Preparations Of the Local Democracy
to Dine.

The Democrats Of the city have nearly
completed their arrangements for the
s Jefferson dinner, on the night of April 13
The Rainier hotel has been selected as the
place for the gathering. The committee of

vitation, and send their names to any Of

. Haller, Is Halter block: Ed c. CheGsty,
607 Front street. Josiah Collins, 81 Halter
block, and ]. N. Carson, All Butler block.
The committee believes that about $50
will attend, Notwithstanding the Tacoma
Democrats hold q dinner on the same
night, accordingly it will be impossible to
get as large an attendance as had been
hoped for from the Democrats of the state

leading county will be represented. Among
the guests are the following: Mr.. Charles
S. Voorhees, and J.J. Browne, of Spokane;
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Goldman, Of Dayton; Mr.. c. H.
Warner, of Colfax; Mr.. ]. H. Snively, Of

CHEAP SUGAR TODAY.
a Reduction Of. 2 Cents . Pound
in Wholesale Price.
THE M'ElNLEy BILL TO BLAME.
Both spreckeIs and the Sugar Octopus
Deny That Combination Has
Been Elected.

4 CHICAGO, March Silt is estimated that
there are more than 100000 barrels Of
sugar in bond in this city awaiting the
operation Of the Mckinley law, which will
remove the government tar from it at
midnight tonight. The custom-house will
remain open all night in order that per-
mits may be issued promptly, and by to-
morrow morning most of this sugar viii
be on the way to the retailers.
PHILADELPHIA, March &c. A. Spreck-
els. son of Claus Spreckels, said today the
reported agreement between his father and
the sugar trust is without foundation He
said that his father would not make deal
with the trust; that the report has been re-
peatedly circulated and denied, and there
was no more reason for talking about the
matter than some time ago. The refinery
here would be operated as an independent
concern, and would not be sold to the trust
or abandoned.
New YoRK, March 3i.-The dispatch
rom San Francisco stating that Theodore
Havemeyer has made an agreement with
Claus Spreckels dividing the territory and
ending competition has causeda sharp adj
vance in the price of sugar stocks. Of
ficials of the trust, however, deny the
statement Neither Fl. O. Havemeyer nor
Theodore Havemeyer have been on the
Pacinc coast recently. II. o. Hayemeyer
says:
There II not one word Of truth in il Tieo-
dofe never has been at war with Claus Spreckels.
There has been no compact made aud no diyis-
Ion OF territory. II anything has been done it is
private matter with Havemeyer q Elder, and
has nothing to do with the American company.
II there are any negotiations on foot il is pri-
vate matter with Hayemeyer & Elder.
Theodore Havemeyer and Treasurer
Searies also denied that any deal has been
made, and said that if deal had been
made il was with Havemeyer g. Co. and
not with the trust
The Dow Jones News Agency says: Re-
garding the reports from San Francisco,
Willett q Gray say: "Havemeyer has not
been in San Francisco at all, and the rest
Of the story has probably no more truth in
It. The American sugar refinery is doing
well and making money. Stocks do not
need bclstering up by false reports of
arrangements with Spreckels as to
quarterly dividends, ETC., which do more
harm than good. The next dividend will
undoubtedly be in July"
The duty on sugar comes off at 12
O'Clock tonight, and wholesale stores will
open then to meet the demand from
retailers. The difference of cents per
pound will. it is anticipated, result in
enormous sales, as the retail market is
practically bare Of stock.
