NOTES OF THE STAGE.

1.-THE Peaceful Valley" is the title of the new
play of Sol Smith Russell that was produced at
Minneapolis, August Is. This candidate for
favor is by Edward f. Kidder, who has already
given Mr. Russell in "a Poor Relation" a char
acter that will live in the annals of the stage as
one of the quaintest and one OF the most human
ever drawn-that of Noah Vale.
To formulate a character for Mr. Russell
which should successfully follow his artistic rs
well as the great pecuniary success OF Noah
Vale in "a Poor Relation" was not an easy
task. In "a Peaceful Valley" Mr.. Russell will
originate the character of Hosea Howe native
of the White mountains The new character is
said 10 be quite different from Noah Vale
Since her brilliant success in "Fedora" and
''La Tosca," Miss Fannie Davenport has scored
her greatest triumph in NJ. sardou's Cleo

"Cleopatras" strength than 10 record that in
this play Miss Dayenport's receipts thus far
have eelipsed the returns of her former sue
cesses.
IL is computed by French contemporary that
Sara Bernhardt has earned 6,5l6O0o francs dur
ing her professional career OF quarter of CEN

clear profit of 10000 francs. and It is expected
that the pecuniary gain of her present tour will
amount to 100000 francs
John kernell seems to grow better as time
passes, and one has TO laugh as soon as ne onens

much so as 10 be a burlesque OF the original

are always rendered with vim and he receives

said: This is just the thing that should nave
been done long ago. The way the militia has Deem
run heretofore has had too much politics mixed
in with il and it is true, too, that the militia OF
the different states have been formidaoie
political organizations. But an organization
such as is proposed by those who are trying to
reorganize the militia, would take politics en-
tirely out
"The way great number of the companies
elect their officers now is not for efficiency or
qualifications, but because they are good
fellows and are likely to be popu-
lar with the boys. This has been
greatly tothe detriment of the service. BY In
fusing number of the West Point graduates
into the militia of the different states it would
not only increase the efficiency OF the militia,
but il would give the rapidly increasing number
OF West Point graduates an occupation In time
of war we could muster our force OF several
million well drilled troops Oh very short notice.
The maximum number Of soldiers In the stand
ing army is 2j,O00-a force that would be very
small one to attack or resist even some OF the
South American or Central American republics.
The adoption of the proposed scheme would
give the United States an army that could be
called into the field very quickly OF 100000
men.
"Nowdays the science of war is in massing
troops rapidly at critical points At the time of
the rebellion the United states actually had to
educate commissions officers Tor the service.
This should not be. At least, there should be
enough officers ready to go into the field at once
with troops.
"The recent imbroglIo between the county
and state authorities over the payment Of the
boys who so willingly and cheerfully responded
to duty at the miners strikes in King county
was a lamentabe occurrence, especially when
the amount due to each man is but pittance.
/ have no doubt that when Governor Ferry
comes to a full knowledge of the facts, he will
see, rs he has done in the past, that the boys
are properly cared for
"The establishment OF this organization
would, think, have a statutory effect upon the
national government, and bring 1t to a keener
appreciation of the need of protecting our now
almost defenseless seaboard. 1t is well known
that the English government has an almost i'm
pregnable Quitting station at Esquimalt, just
across the Straits OF Fuca from us, while there is
nothing OF the kind on American waters in
Puget sound to protect our vast interests here.
This movement, were it successful, 1t seems to
me, would be the first step toward adequate
coast defense on Puget sound.
at is gratifying to know that the United
States army officers are alive to the importance
OF rendering the whole military force available
for service in any desired point in any state. 1t
is altogether probable that in years to come
Puget sound will need the protection of large
naval and military force, and i, for one, am
strongly in favor OF combining the militia OF the
different states into one compact body under
the national government

The Prizes Yet I'm Hand.

Between the various companies of the city
there has always existed rivalry of friendly
nature. 1t must therefore be a source of great
pleasure to the boys to know that the money
offered by the Fourth of July committee for ex-
cellence in military tactics is still unusued and
that the fund will doubtless be used to carry out
the original intention, A prominent member of
the company said yesterday that soon as
Chairman A. NJ. Brooks returned from the East
some definite settlement of the matter would be
made. The gentleman said that he had no
doubt at all but that chance
would be given the companies to
contend for the prizes. The contest will rouse
considerable interest and would prove a good
thing, as there is not much enthusiasm in mill
tary circles here at present. There is consider
able talk among the men concerning the report
that two milItiamen have been discharged from
positions because they did not give up their
connection with the company to which they be-
longed. The rank and file have little faith in
the truce that is reported 10 have been patched
up between Colonel Haines, Captain Fife and
General o Brien. The men are sore, and will so
remain until deeper interest is taken in the
welfare of the National Guard by the represent
atives of the state. Colonel Haines has said
last week that unless King county would pay
the militia and depend upon the state for reim-
bursament that msndamus proceedings will be
brought with the view of compelling the mill
tary board to audit the accounts and the state
auditor TO issue the proper warrants.

Company II.

The members OF the company have lost con-
siderable interest since returning from the
mines. Many of them left their work too will

brokers at a rather unsatisfactory rate of dis

Mr.. George Vessels
"The Corner Grocery"

1t is doubtful If any OF the many comedies
now before the amusement patrons has achieved
more pronouncSkor lasting impression than
Dan'l sullys Corner Grocery" For.seven sea-
sons this mirth-provoker has carried on highly
successful business, the goods and merchandise
being branded wit, humor and music. Buyers
have been exceedingly plentiful. Mr.. Sullys
comedy differs widely from the conventional
farce that is at present the rage as the latter is
n eonglomeration of nothings carefully woven
together to admit of speeialties. while the
comedy is wholesome portrayal of everyday
life, in which there is interviewer
n beautiful sentimental story that is
particularly interesting and obviates the neces-
sity of introducing the conventional incongrui-
ties. The company interpreting the old and
stanch favorite is by far the strongest with
