LECTURE ON THEOsOPHY.
Madame Blavatsky's Favorite Pupil to
Speak This Evening.

lecture will be delivered at the Seattle opera
house this evening by William q. Judge, gen.
eral secretary of the American section of the
Theosophical society, for which no charge will
be made. Mr.. Judge, who is a ready speaker
and eopiously charged with facts in each Iheo-
sophical department, has long been accustomed
to deliver public addresses at conventions and
to make occasional visits to branches, but never
before has he projected tour of such length as
the one he is now making through the West and
Northwest
Those who are interested in the doctrines
which seem SO strange and would naturally be
so unpopular in the Western hemisphere, and
yet are gaining adherents daily throughout it,
Will now have opportunity to hear them
expounded by the most advanced Theosophist
in the United States.
Mr. Judge was the intimate friend and favor
lite pupil OF Madame Blavatsky, saw more and
stranger phenomena by her than any other liv-
ing person, and continuously imbibed for fifteen
years the religious philosophy she spoke and
wrote. If anyone can correctly represent her and
1t, surely Mr.. Judge is he. All such topics gain
vitality from the living utterances which they
never have in print, and it is rather an incident
in this age of ey-getting and self-seeking
when lawyer interrupts his practice in order
to gratuitously proclaim a gospel of altrustic
life and spiritual purpose Ii may very well be,
then, that his audience will hear discussion of
no little interest intellectually and OF no small
value practically.

EXTENDED CARRIER SYSTEM.
Encouragement of Routes to Cover Much
More Territory.

Tomorrow morning the mal-carriers begin on
their rearranged routes which take I'm much
larger territory than that now covered. There
are twenty carriers and three substitutes. Three
OF the routes are traversed by mounted carriers.
The extra territory Is covered without the APP
pointment of any new carriers, for the work is
so systematized and the street car service is SO
improved that with the same number of men it
Is possible TO carry much more mail. ]. s.
Farrell, superintendent of the carriers, was out
yesterday going over the lines and making the
final arrangements for the new delivery.
Formerly the Northern boundary of the free
delivery system ran along the Olympic avenue
and Powell ard Willard streets from the water
front across to Lake Union. The new boundary
runs on Illinois and Bradley streets, and then
six blocks north to Third street, seven blocks
east, south TO View street, and up along the
western edge of Lake Union. This is one of the
mounted routes and the extension takes in fifty
or sixty new blocks.
East of Lake Union the boundary was Foun-
tain street on the north and Everett on the east.
The new boundary is three blocks further north
on Herschel street, and six east to Preston,
which lies block or two east of the Broadway
street car line.
No carriers used to go beyond the power house
on Madison street. but now they make their
trips out to the bridge, and take in space of
about three blocks on each side of the track
On the north side of Yesler avenue the route
has been extended eleven blocks east, or from
Massillon street to Cena avenue
On the south side of Yesler avenue there 10
an extension OF one block from Rainier avenue
to Lake View avenue, and OF three blocks fur
ther south.
These are the main changes in the boundary,
though there number of minor alterations,
oil tending to the extension of the free delivery
service, and the general improvement of the
city's postal facilities
To cover the new ground all the routes have
been rearrauged. There is, as before, a service
| of four times a day in the business part OF the
city lying on West street, Front and Second.
| A service of three times daily covers the addi-
| tonal territory from stewart street on the north
| to Weller on the south, aud Third on the west
| At Pike street this service extends 10 Fifth In
all other parts OF the city the delivery is twice

ADJUSTMENTS.
1.-THE White Slave at Cordrav,s

As was anticipated, from spectacular point
alone, 1.-The White Slave as represented by the
Cordray company, excelled any play previously
produced before Seattle audience Notable
among the scenic views presented were the
home of Judge Harding, the river scene near
Osceola, the steamboat explosion on the Missis-
sippi, amidst real rain storm, and Red DEVILS
island, in the same river. Too
much praise can scarcely be awarded
Mr.. Alexander Buchsn for the artistic manner
in which he has carried out the instructions of
Mr. George Vessels, who has established An
enviable reputation as stage manager There
was not single hitch in the performance.
which, owing to the extremely difficult and
intricate stage mechanism requisite, calls for
unstinted commentator The acting through
out was admirable. No character. however

Washington territory with her husband, DIR.
Uval Y. Warbass, who was one of the most
soild and substantial aud highly esteemed
among the old settlers and Identified with the
early business operations OF his adopted city,
Olympia, where he accumulated considerable
property. Mrs. Warbass was widely known and
sincerely loved by all her friends and acquaint-
ances for her kind aud judicious services to all

settlers will mourn her q kind-hearted old
friend.

THE BOARDOF WORKS.
Chalk Asks to Be Relieved of
His Office.
SYSTEM OF STREET LIGHTING.
Major Rinehart Presents an Interesting
Report-A Bulkhead ut Pine and
Tenth Streets Unsafe.

The board OF public works met yesterday
| afternoon at $50 O'Clock, with Chairman J. F.
| Cochran, Major w. v. kinehart and George II.
| Heilbron present
| The most important matter was the letter of
| superintendent Chalk, referring to his intended
| resignation There has been some friction be-
| tween him and part of the board. 1t is under
| stood that Mr.. +. w. VALID viii be his successor,
although the members are not all of one opin-
ion. Commissioner Heilbron considers Mr..
Chalk O very competent man, much more
as an engineer than as an
accountant and he regrets that Mr. Chalk
should have done anything that could be con-
strued into disrespect of any members of the
board or OF characterization. Mr.. Hebron
thinks, also, that Mr. Chalk has had a very diff
cult position to till, with so much construction
going on, and may not have attended to some
details, but generally he has been very satisfac-
tory.
Major Rinehart also considers him competent
as railroad engineer, but does not altogether
approve OF his course as the head OF the water
department
g. n. Alexander presented a report to Super
fntendent l.. f. Compton, and the latter filed it
with the secretary of the board of public works,
that the bulkhead on the north side of Pine
street, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, was
in an unsafe condition, and that it cannot stand
during the coming winter. To make the neces-
sary repairs it will be necessary to take out the
entire cribbing the north side between
Tenth and Eleventh streets, and the dirt will
have to be taken out for 225 feet Superintend-
ent Compton estimates that the entire cost of
putting the bulkhead in proper condition will
be, for necessary material and labor, 81 $685.
Mr. Heilbron moved that Superintendent
Compton be requested to make report to cor
poraton counsel and his opinion be asked as TO
whether or not the city has cause of action in
the matter.
g. c. Phinneys petition for repair of sewer in
the Butler block was referred.
City Engineer Albro Gardner presented plan
OF Beacon Place, which approved, and
ordered submitted to council
Benezette Williams asked for the approval of
his plans for city sewerage in order that he
might secure remittance before the end of the
current month.
The total cost of the improvement on Third
street, in Pontius addition, from Lake street to
Wall street, is assessed at &c. 1864 of which the
property owners are to pay s5,677 10 and the city
81 ,0S5.54
The total cost of the improvement on Mary
street, from Third street to Hillside avenue is
assessed at s6,32f2S, of which the property
owners are to pay $500 and the city s3552s

circumscribed, was passed over lightly, and
close attention to details was obvious to the
most casual observer
The part of Lisa the White Slave, was por-
trayed by Miss Isabel Morris with great dramatic
ability. Were il not that too hasty utterance
in several impassioned speeches slightly i'm
paired the full effect of the lines, Miss Morris
would have made the almost perfect delineation
OF this trying emotional part Mr.. George Wes-
sells was at home in the Characterization OF
William Lacy, the vulgar, rough and brutal
owner of ''niggers and horses Indeed, the
part was so sklifully drawn that the actor was
SO closely identified with his graceess subject
as to be looked upon with aversion by the audi
ence. To 90 through the whole cast individ-
ually would too much encroach on space,
worthy as every impersonator is of special men,
ton. Mr.. j. L. Lowell gave extremely clever
sketch of old Judge Harding, and, for
young actor, his disguise and acting were in fit
ting harmony with the character. Mr.. George
Berry was out of his element in the character of
Clay Britton, but his versatile ability enabled
him to give an acceptable rendition of the hero.
Miss Belle Inman did some OF the cleverest
work, in her portrayal of Daphne, that she has
done since she came to the city; and, as Lefty
Lee, she was both captivating and natural. Mr..
J. j. Williams gave a very realistic characterize
ton OF old Uncle Job, the simple and kind
hearted old negro preacher The scene between
Glen and his better-half, Martha, was very
amusingly drawn by Mr.. J. r. Bronson and Miss
McDermott; and, in conjunction with the efforts
of Job as peacemaker, brought down the house.
Sam Morris retained his old-time popularity by
forcible sketch of the pusillanimous lawyer
Stetch, and Mr.. Elmer realized all the
possibilities of the character of the
brutal oyerseer Bancroft There were
four curtain calls for the principal actors at the
close of acts two, three, four and five. There
has seldom been a more pleased audience in the
Cordray theater than that which comfortably
filed the house last night. The plantation
melodies, in connection with most elaborate
musical programme, executed by Mr.. Bray and
his orchestra, touched ali with that persuasive,
eloquent appeal by which music sways the
heart and captures the mind.

STEPPED ON A LOOSE PLANK.
A Pedestrian Thrown to the Mud Flats
and Severely Injured.

Hugh Gahagan, a Snohomish prospector,
met with serious accident Sunday afternoon
about o'clock, by stepping on loose plank in
'front.' of the Blue Front saloon, on South sew
enth street. Gahagan came out of the saloon,
which is built ON piles, and in walking up the
street stepped on loose plank, which few up
and threw him backwards to the mud
flats below, a distance of fifteen feet.
The force of the fall dslocated his lett shoulder
and broke the collar bone. Although uncon-
scious for few moments, he soon came to his
senses, and with the assistance of NJ Kennedy
and William Walsh got up on the planking
again. Although in severe pain, he managed to
reach his room at the Fountain house and went
to bed.
Yesterday afternoon he was taken to Provi-
dence hospital. In speaking of his injuries, he
said they were the result of carelessness, and
that a suit for damages against the city would
be commenced Immediately.
