MUSIC ARD DRAMA.
PAVILION.

PAVILION.
The performance at the Pavilion Theatre
is meeting with general favor. Miss Hamil-
ton appears to advantage as Bessie, and her
acting shows thorough comprehension of
the part. McCallum as Phil Tressider is in
his element. and the support by the compa-
ny is uniformly good. The singing by the
quartette is excellent. and provokes many
encores. Next week freddy, the Mail Girl"
will be presented. Manager McCallum re-
specially requests his many patrons to 60
to Stockbridge's for reserved seats, where
they are for sale, and can be secured In adj
vance. By so doing they avoid the rush and
disappointment at the box Office on finding
all the best seats sold.
PORTLAND THEATRE.
sThe Crushed Tragedian" and "Mishaps
are the leading features at Portland Theatre.
John Phillips, as the colored clam vender is
very funny In the first act, and John Movie
ker, as the Irish shoemaker, equally amusing
in the closing sketch. The three testers sing
and dance well. The Mackleys are amusing
in their little domestic scene, and Tony WIFE
iams's and Gilbertrs selections are received
with applause, The Jap, Soto Sunetaro,
displays the same cleverness In his mystify-
ing trickery. The same entertainment will
be given again this afternoon and evening
BOYS AND GIRLS.
One of the principals of Messrs. Rich &
Harris's magnificent undertakings this sea-
son is John j. McNally's new and original
satirical musical farce comedy, entitled
'Boys and Girls" The cast numbers such
names as the Leopolds, who come from Lon
don on special engagement. The Leopolds
have won world wide reputation for their
extraordinary agility as characteristic pan
tomimists and intensely grotesque comedi-
ans. The strength of the company to APP
pear in "Boys and Girls can better be real
ized when it Is known that such names as
Miss May Irwin, Miss Flora Irwin. Mr.. Ig-
natio Martnetti, Mr.. William b. Wood, for
merly of Wood & Shepard. Miss Georgia
Lake, Miss Sadie Kirby, Mr.. Julian Mitch
ell, Mr.. James A. Sturgis, Miss Blanc he
Howard and Miss Laura j. Russell, go 10
make up the cast in conjunction with the
Leopolds The scenery and costumes, the
music and incidental business are all abso-
Rich 6 Harris are determined that "Boys &
Girls" shall be revelation in musical farce
comedy.

this city from st. Louis and ON the
train ingratiated himself into the good
graces of Captain j. N. Sawyer, agent
here Of the Mallory Steamship line.
Walters represented himself as u
gentleman of wealth and
leisure bent on making
an Investment whenever
and wherever good opportunities Of
fered. He also stated that he owned
an orange grove of 400 acres in Louisi-
ana that was yielding him hand
some income. Before departing with
Captain Sawyer he inquired for the
address of some responsible real es-
tate agent and Captain Sawyer intro
duced him 10 II. M. Trueheart d Co.,
and Walters soon made his financial
standing known to the firm and his
desire to make some desirable invest
ments. To further his schemes
and make himself more solid
with Truebeart d Co. and other
members of the business community,
he became a constant attendant OF the
First Presby terian church, to which
he claimed membership in Tacoma.
He was very devoted, attended
church and Sunday school regularly,
joined the Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor, and became an
active participant in the work of
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, and frequently spoke to Mr..
Adriance. of the firm of II. M. True
heart q Co., of the poor quarters o
the association, and said that it was
reflection upon the public spir-
tied enterprise of Galveston. He
stated that he had already |
purchased at ticket to Honduras,
where he was going to invest heavily |
in mahogany timber land, but prior
10 his departure ne desired to make |
'ew purchases in this city and Texas. /
His purchase here he desired for the
site of his palatial residence, as
he intended to make this city his future
home. With this object III view he
went to the Galveston Land and I'M
provement company and purchased
one of the choice lots in the Den
yer ResuIvey suburb which
he paid for with check ON
the National bank Of Tacoma, which
was taken to the National bank for
collection. In due course the check !
was returned with the statement from
the Tacoma bank that II. G. Walters |
was unknown to them, and had no
funds on deposit there. In the
meantime, on the strength of the in |

Meeting of Railroad Men.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-A meeting O
the presidents and managers of lines
in central traffic association will bt
held at Chairman Blanchard's office
today for the purpose of reorganizine
the special east bound commission and
considering the rate situation. This
can only be done by the consent o
the Chicago and Grand Trunk and
unusual pressure brought to bear upon
the representatives of that road to
restore switching charges, and thus
enhance the revenues of all the lines
1t is almost safe to say that the effort
will not be successful, though it is
claimed that the eastern officials and
the directors of the Grand Trunk have
been so worked upon by false reports
that they have decided to order the
traffic manager Of the Chicago di.

Walters succeeded in getting an adj
vance of $3.50 on some drafts deposited
by him, when he announced his in
tention of going to Northwest
Texas for the purpose of making
Investments. He had so entirely
won the confidence of Trueheart
d Co., that they gave him letter Of
introduction to their agent at Colorado
City, where he attempted to play the
same game, but the announcement Of
the Tacoma bank that Walters had
no funds there, and that he was flood
ing Texas with worthless drafts, has
exploded the young mans schemes,
and every sheriff in the state has been
notified to be on the lookout for him.
His victims here are numerous and
are determined to run him down.

and after that the toboggan slide of Satan

Convicts in Penitentiaries.

Special Agent Frederick Howard Wines.
who has charge of statistics of pauperisni
and crime for the census bureau, has re.
ported regarding the number of convicts in
state prisons and penitentiaries in the
United States on June 1, $780, The figures
given, when compared with the report
made by the same special agent for the
tenth census, show an actual increase OF
9,G95 in the number of penitentiary con-
yicts The population of the country ac-
cording to the tenth census was 50, 155, 1888.
The number of convicts in penitentiaries at
that date was 30,659, or, including the
leased prisoners, 1888. The ratio of con-
victs to the population was 709in each mill
ion. The eleventh census shows the popu-
lation to be g., 622, $50, and the number Of
convicts AZ, 233, the ratio of convicts to the
population being 722, an increase of only IL
to the million Mr. Wines, who, according
to Superintendent Porter, is undoubtedly
the first authority in the country in all
matters appertaining to the statistics OF
pauperism and crime is of the opinion that
this growth is not alarming, since further
study may result in an explanation of it.
or even in showing that crime of serious
character is rather on the decline in Amer
lea than on the increase.
