The English Rose"

This Irish melodrama is crowding the
Alcazar. 1t is the most pretentious piece
the management have produced for some
time. Money has been spent in the mount
ing and special care taken in selecting the
cast, and it is to be hoped the business will
be sufficiently remunerative to reimburse
the managers for their trouble and expense
The piece is now in its second week and all
the people engaged in giving action to it
have settled down we'll to their respective

to project ones self at the expense of the

Farewell to the Circus.

The great united shows OF the Sells

in this city have, in the terse expression OF
one of its Directors, taken in bushels of
money" closed Tuesday evening and have
gone off on a tour of the southern part of the
State, preparatory TO embarking for Au-
stralia by the October steamship leaving
for Sydney. Besides being so emf
nentlv successful in San Francisco. this great
establishment has reached the top notch
of popularity during all its trip on the Pa
cihc Slope. The managers have gathered
in their embrace the best arenic talent of
the world. including h0rsemanshiD, equita-
ton, dancing, clowns with new develop
ment of hum or, and trapeze per formers that
rival the Hanlons in their palny days. The
hippOdrome exercises are wonderfully inter-
esting and exciting, dashing, daring,
as the riders make their long cur
riculum outside the two performing
rings and the stage; some of the
famous chariot race between the young
Hebrew and tie Roman in ben Hur." AS

When Charlemagne and his " Knights Of
the Round Table were making war ON tho
Saracens, in Africa it frequently happened
that Knights on either side would fight in
single combat for the honor of their re-
spective armies The SaracenS had been,
for many years, the scourge the dreaded
invaders-of Europe, and all waged war
against this common enemy.
But in these days tho worst ScOurge that
threatens us, is that dread invader, Con-
sumption.
Consumption fastens its hold upon its vic
tins while they are unconscious Of its ap-

For Weak Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Short

TRANSFERS OF THE FUNDS.

The transfer of portion OF the money
derived from the water bonds to the salary
fund has been made occasion for an attack
upon the city government by the Seattle
telegraph
The matter Is very simple. The sS45, 900
estimated to be the probable cost of q
water system included the cost of
the mains and the cost of labor.
The charter requires that all employees
shall be paid out Of the salary fund. 1t
was assumed that labor on construction in
the water department must also be paid
out of that fund. 1t was necessary, of
course, TO take sufficient of the proceeds of
the bonds estimated for labor to put into
the salary fund.
That is all there is to IL; it is not a
transfer from the water fund to "pay the
salaries of a horde of officials" but a very
proper application of the money to the
purpose for which it was voted.
The same is true of the amount trans.
ferred from the sewer fund.

Hail. Hail Thee, glorious. Evergreen State!

There are several features in the city
charter as to which there always has been
diversity of opinion. 1t would be very
unwise for the revising body to attempt to
submit them to the voters at general
election at which party feeling is likely to
run high and that deliberate judgment SO
desirable in such matters is less likely to
be exercised. The consolidation of the
three commissions; amendment of the sys-
tenn of paying for street grading by bonds !;
proving for re-assessment in necessary
cases; and consolidation of the law de-
partment, are the most important. As to
these and to measures of economy there
can be no political difference of opinion.
aud they need only be carefully and wisely
drafted to be sure OF ratification by all
parties.

FINEST PICTURE ON THE COAST.
1t VIII BE at the Art Loan Exhibition
Tnnfrhf.

The art loan exhibition in the basement OF the
Burke block was very well attended yesterday
afternoon, and in the evening there wac a large
crowd. This afternoon the children of thu city
will be admitted for Is cents between the hours
OF and $780,
This evening there will be special attraction
for the close of the exhibition-the beautiful
painting, Toietta's "Night" This picture, I'M
doubtedly the best on the Pacific coast,
was received from San Francisco yes
terday by Mr.. Fred E. Sander, who re-
Gently bought 1t there. 1t Is wonderful
work of art, and will be placed where 1t can be
viewed under the most favorable circumstances.
The coloring is marvellous, the drawing fault
less and the illumination perfect. The figures
are of woman resting in q cloud Lit by the
moon, whose rays come horizontally. Above
is a group OF cherubs bearing ieecy drapery to
covering the sleeper. One holds o torch whose
light falls on her exquisite face.
The admission this evening, including adj.
mission to the dancing room, will be only
twenty-five cents. The exhibition has been
very successful and 1t Is estimated that about
500 will be cleared for the Woman's Home.
The managers were in a state of deep indigna-
ton and sorrow yesterday over the attacks made
on them from the pulpit for selling chances for
the 1925 etching by Hamilton Hamilton. The
ladies protested yesterday that they had not the
slightest intention OF wrong doing, and to back
their protest they gave back the money sub
scrbed for chances, and laid aside the idea OF
disposing OF the picture in this way. They
felt that if any man objected to their
course in the matter, he should have done
them the courtesy of coming to them privately
before launching into a pubic denunciation
from the pulpit One of the managers said last
night: "The ministers have given US no help
whatever in getting up this exhi bition: and now
this attack, as II we were abandoned criminals
and had taken up the plan of selling chances on
the picture for the sole purpose OF
running the morals of Seattle, is
little too much. Since those who
denounced our plan have not aided us in the
exhibition, but have caused US a loss OF SIPS,
thiuk that they could very appropriately sub
scribe $l25 and buy the picture themselves"
The exhibition will close at IL 80 tonight and
the committee will begin on Wednesday morn.

/ previous construction of the constitution
| when he purchased Louisiana. and this
| legitimate claim to the gratitude of his
country softens the memory of the fact
that he plated the crown of thorns for the
republic which JEFF Davis rudely tried to
lift TO its place and set upon our brows
with Confederate bayonets.
Jefferson doubtless builded worse than
he knew; he hated Hamilton, and his
prime purpose was to triumph as politi-
clan by opposing Hamilton at every effort
for national consolidation. In this Jeffer-
son was demagogue of genius, and when
he had satisfied his ambition with the
presidency he ceased aggressively to preach
MS state supremacy incendiary doctrines;
he lived to see the air begin to darken with
the first clouds of the gathering storm Of
Caihounism, and lamented his original re-
sponsibility for sowing the seeds of dis
cord.
Above all other men Jefferson was re-
sponsible for this thorn in the flesh of the
nation. Hamilton and Marshall, inspired
by Washington, never ceased to teach the
doctrine of union and nationality, and
with the untimely death of Hamilton and
retirement of Jefferson from active politics
the debate languished for lack of able dis
putants, but soon the metaphysical genius
OF Calhoun grasped the dying torch of
Jefferson's lighting and welded it with
the subtle skill of political petroleuse
until at his death he left the underpinning
OF the Union burning with slow but
steady consuming fire. JEFF Davis,
Toombs, Yancey d Co., snatched the torch
from Calhoun's dying hand and impetu-
ously began to set fire to the fabric of the
Union in various places with areckIessness
born of that native lack of judgment
which is characteristic of wicked men who
lack the patience to bide their time for in
surrection. Jefferson stands for the his
torical virtues and vices of the Democratic
party, while Washington, the first great
Federalist, taught the doctrine of union
and nationality to Hamilton and Mar
shall. From Hamilton and Marshall it
passed to Webster, Jackson and Clay, and
from Webster, Jackson and Clay it passed
to Lincoln and Stanton. This is the truth
oil history concerning Jefferson, who sowed
the disseminating winged thistle seed of
state supremacy that withered under the
fervent heat of Lincoln's patriotic breath !;
was uprooted by the sword of Grant and
buried IN grave too deep for resurrection
at Appomattox. And yet the Democratic
missionaries from the East and all the
local demagogues who obsequiousIy held
their hats for them apotheosize today this
Jefferson, who tried to plant death in the
clothes of the nation .
