Powers in "a Straight TIP"

James T. Powers, in "a Straight Tip" viii be
seen at the Seattle operahouse on next Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings. There is no mistak-
ing the hit made by Powers III this play, which
has scored hit ell over the country. The au-
thor OF "A Straight Tip" is John ]. AcNaiiy, OF
the Boston Herald, who has hitherto done some
very clever sketch work In "a Straight Tip
Mr.. McNaily seems to have constructed farce
of more than ordinary amount of merit. 1t is
said to have plot This alone should distin-
guish it from the ordinary line of faree-come-
dies. IN addition, the dialogue is claimed to be
especially crisp and bright, situations amusing,
and the climaxes extremely funny and very
cieverly arranged The subject, as the name in
dicates. is, of course racing, and this hitherto
unexpected field in farce-comedy seems to have
opened up a wide area for Mr.. Powers and his
fellow comedians 70 exploit themselves in. As
for the company, it is said to be one of the very
best ever gathered together in this kind OF enter
tainment Powers, as farceur, has, acknowledg-
eddy, few equals among living comedians. He
is very graceful, is an agile dancer fair singer
and an lnimitable pantomimist.

former efforts. Entering the minstrel arena
eight years ago he has been steadily advancing

his personal attention to his big City Show"
and ne has succeeded in making that famous

Every feature throughout the entire perform

held over from last season. but every act of the
present company is sup to the times" Mr..
Cleveland composes considerable of the music
rendered in the performances of his company,
and he has acquired large reputation in this

the Freshet at PuyalIup.

PUYALLUP, Nov. 12-lSpecial 1.-The heavy
rains of the past two weeks still continue here.
According to many of our old residents here
it is something exceptional 10 have such a long
spell of rainy weather. With the few disad-
vantages of continued rain in the Puyallup
valley there is encouraging sign to the
farmer who has settled in this fruitful vale,
namely, that amidst the overhows and floods OF
al the surrounding country we ere exempt
from everything of the kind.
Several houses which were built in the old
bed of the river quite naturally came in for
rather unpleasant reminder OF their folly, but
otherwise neither rains nor floods nor winds
have caused any damage. The valley around
Puyaliup is the only place OF any size,
as far as hop land Is concerned, that has escaped
between Tacoma and Seattle.
Much inconvenience, far as mails con-
cerned, has been caused by the Don-arriyal of
trains from the East and Sogth. No overland
mails expected until Friday. The Tacoma
4 Puyallup railroad have been overrun with
both passenger and freight traffic during the
past few days, that being the only certain way
OF reaching Tacoma.
