popularity that given its predecessor, "Mr
Barnes OF New York" The California the
alter was crowded at each performance, and on
four nights in the week the orchestra was
obliged to perform upon the stage. The press
and the public, while conceding the merits of
Mr.. Gunter's play, universally agree that much
of the interest in the attraction was the reap
pearance of Jeffreys Lewis in role peculiarly
fitted TO her. There il perhaps no actress on
the American stage rs much at home Miss
Lewis is in San Francisco or the Pacific coast
She has been seen in such roles Countess
Zeka I'm Diplomacy" and the title role of La
Belle Russo, and all who have read the novel
and have seen Jeffreys Lewis act can fit her in
the part of Lady Annerly without any
stretch of the Imagination. On Miss
Lewis first appearance in San Francisco the
audience almost rose to its feet and the play
had to suspend action and await the abatement
of the applause. The Bulletin. in speaking of
Miss Lewis said: "Mr. CUTTERS Mr.. Potter of
Texas has done large business all the week,
the auditorium being filed to OVERLOOKING at
every performance" Its attractive starring
power must be in the main attributed to the
splendid rendition OF the part of Lady Annerly
by Miss Jetfreys Lewis, of whom it may be said
abe is doing the best acting of all her dramatic
career. IL is with pleasure that that fact is
noted, as Miss Lewis stands at the head of the

EVERY WOMAN
Should be Beautiful

So says Jenness Miller, the famous
ecturer and writer on dress reform
and physical culture, and celebrated
writer in a medical journal says:
"Face powders and toilet preparations
have legitimate use in the toilette of
every woman and use properly made
need not, any more than the proper
use OF a perfume, displease any one,
while it can not be denied that they
add to the personal beauty and at
tractiveness and give to the wearer an
expression that can be interpreted by
any practical observer to mean that
THIS WOMAN is NEAT AND CAREFUL
ABOUT HER PERSON AND HOLDS A JUST
PRIDE IN BEAUTIFYING HERSELF. In
the use of toilet preparations it is
easy to distinguish the well-bred from
the vulgar" Another well-known
authority, DIR. Arthur Dean Bevan,
professor of anatomy in the Rush
Medical College and P. A. surgeon
u. S. M. H. S., writes without re-
serve on a kindred subject What
he says:
CHICAGO, Jan. 81, 1883.
w. M. Wisdom-Dear Sir: AS
you requested, I have examined the
formula of your toilet preparation
called Robertine I can assure you
that the ingredients are both bland
and harmless, and that the compound
would form an excellent application
in irritated conditions of the skin.
Society ladies and noted artistes
throughout the United States unhesi-
tatingly pronounce Robertine the
perfection" in toilet article. Once
tried, always used-such is its history.

AN ADVERTISING SCHEME.
The Police Notified of Runaway From
Victoria.


The police have been notified to be on
the lookout for man named ''Wraugh-
ton" Smith, whom it is alleged bid
goodbye to Victoria leaving many
creditors. Smith started business in
Victoria year ago under the name
of the Dominion Advertising Com
pany and after building up a good
business, making a good deal of money,
he borrowed all he could from firms who
had his confidence and, negleeting to pay
his debts, he suddenly left the city a week
ago, and it is believed he is now in Seattle.
II this, however is true, the police are not
aware of his presence.
As several fakirs have come TO Seattle of
late and imposed upon the condolences of
the merchants, it might be well for them
to guard against "Wraughton" Smith.
In Victoria Smith was located in offices
over the real estate establishment of Bar
rett & Carpenter, on Government street.
Mr.. Smith and his wife lived in board
ing-house on James avenue. Two weeks
ago Mrs. Smith left Victoria. going, il
was claimed, on pleasure trip. Mr..
Smith disappeared week later. The
Victoria police afterward learned that he
intended locating in Seattle.

BosToS, Mass, Aug. For some time
past there has been trouble in the Twelfth
Baptist church (colored).
The church has been without pastor
several months and q call on behalf of
portion Of the members was recently ex-
tended the Rev. Henry II. Harris, the
former pastor.
Mr.. Harris has been resting under
criminal charge and owing to this fact
there was strong element in the church
opposed to his becoming their pastor. 1t
was announced that he would preach today
and the opposing faction was bound, if
possible. to prevent him.
About O'Clock this morning, as one of
the Harris men was passing the church,
he noticed light within, and quickly
eummoning eight or ten friends, including
the sexton. they effected an entrance,
where seven anti-Harris men were found
busy mailing and boarding up the doors
and windows, while large placard had
been prepared announcing that the church
would be closed until September.
After long discussion, the anti-Harris
party was elected from the building. This
forenoon, however, one of their number
swore out warrant charging Harris with
performing al apoIsion, WAbh the VIC" "
prevent his appearance in the pulpit today.
Mr.. Harris learning of this action went
to the police station, where the warrant
was read to him and was released at once
on $4,000 bail. Accompanied by a special
officer he then proceeded to the church
where he preached a strong sermon, max
ing only incidental illusions to his
troubles. Altogether the situation is de-
cidedly interesting, and the Harrisites
seem at present to be on top.
