YEsLER's INTEREST CLAIM.
A Proposition for q Reciprocal Al
rauEement.

Application has been made by Mr..
Henry Yesler for interest amounting to
about SIS 900 on the sum agreed upon as
the price for the property taken by the
city to establish Pioneer place. The mat
ter was referred to the judiciary commit
tee of the board of aldermen and q report
has been made by Aldermen Miller and
Korn which recommends an offset of the
amount due by Mr.. Yesler for street i'm
provements, which is rather less than the
interest claimed.
The report recites that an ordinance
has been submitted to the committee for
an extension of the time in which the
principal is due, that is. from November
LIST next, and for the payment of the in
terest up TO July 1. "Your COMMITTEE" it
goes on to say, shave had the same under
consideration and return the ordinance
without recommendation, but your COM
mittee would make this recommendation,
however. that the corporation counsel be
authorized to make immediate settlement
with III. l.. Yesler by offering TO pay the
interest which he claims is now due, pro-
vided. however, he will give the city credit
for the amount of his grade taxes which
are due and payable and have been for a
long time, otherwise we will hold the in
terest until such settlement is made"

Toaigbf-


Tonight.
This evening Charles Frohman's much
talked-about and widely-heralded stock
company. from New York, will face Sc
attic audience for the first time, and it will
be one of the largest and most brilliant
assemblages ever gathered together at the
opera-house. This Is indicated by the
heavy advance sale of seats and by the
representative people who hold the choice
places. No company which has been an
nounced here in some time has created q
wider degree of interest than Charles
Frohman's. By the New York, Chicago
and San Francisco critics, the principal
cities IN which it has appeared. it has been
unanimously Endorsed as the strongest
organization of its kind at present before
the public. The complete cast. which is
printed below, gives ample evidence of its
powerful ensembles. "Men and Women"
was written with view of showing the
various players who interpret it at their
best, with the result that a remarkably
even and powerful performance may be
confidently expected.

LONG ELECTRIC ROAD.
Plan of Extending the Grant Stree
Railway to Tacoma.

Work on the Grant street electric rail-
way will be begun next week. Fred E.
Sander, the chief mover in the enterprise,
said yesterday that the track would be
completed on thebridge before the streets
further north in the city were touched, in
order that the thoroughfares be torn up
for as short a time as possible. The ex-
pectation is that the road will be COM
pleted as far as the race track In five
months. The terms of its charter require
its completion in seven.
The plan is to extend the road from the
race track on down to Kent and then TO
Puyallup, a distance of twenty-eight
miles. Right-of-way and subsidies for a
large part of the distance have already
been secured. At Puyallup connection
will be made with an electric road from
there to Tacoma, thus making complete
electric connection between Seattle and
Tacoma.
The city terminus of the system will be
at the Yesler wharf.

VACATION IN COURT.
Very Little Business Transacted
Yesterday.
JUDGE HuMEs HAS AN OUTING.
The Carlson Divorce Case-Stock I'm Liti-
gation-Creditors Called Together
Court Notss-Blotter.

Everything at the courthouse yesterday
seemed to indicate that the vacation of the
superior court had really be1un. Judge
Humes' courtroom was locked up, and
the Judge has himself left the city. He
will enjoy the next month roughing it on
the Stillaguamish river.
Judge Lichtenberg and Judge Osborn
both disposed of a small amount of busi-
ness during the early part of the day. con-
sisting chiefly of the argument of motions
in unimportant cases. The evident inten-
ton of the attorneys seems to be to take
advantage of the vacation as much as pos
sible and to transact only such business as
is absolutely necessary.

THE MIND-READERs' IMIrAToR.

fractical Joke Played by Boys on o
Crowd.
tall. slender young man with a red
handkerchief tied about his eyes and lead
ing another young man at q breakneck
speed down Front street from Pioneer
place, few evenings since, attracted an
immense crowd of people. Whats up?
What is it?" asked everybody almost at
once. Its the mind-readerp' shouted a
half dozen boys who ran close behind the
biindfolded young man, who continued to
chase on. Men, women and children,
everybody on the streets, followed and the
crowd grew larger at each crossing. zAt
the corner of Front and Columbia streets
the "mind-reader" led his subject into
the Roxwell building and ran down the
hallway. In few seconds the building
was crowded with an excited mass of peo-
pie, and those who occupied offices in the
place rushed out, thinking there was a
fire. The ''mind-reader" could hardly get
out of the building, and to evade the
crowd, which surged around him and eyed
him curiously, he had to jump out of a
window near the alley.
Then he ran across the street into the
Gottstein building, and in a few seconds
that place was crowded. Making his way
to the street again he dragged his sub
ject" across Front street towards the alley
near West street. By this time the streets
were thronged with people, the crowd was
frantic and policemen were paralyzed.
The ''mind-reader" looked out of the
corner of his left eye. from under the red
handkerchief, and caught sight of Officer
John Sullivan watching him closely. Fear
ing arrest he tore the handkerchief from
his eyes, lodged down the alley, and was
soon out of sight.
Itwas joke played by lot of mis-
chievous boys. The 'mind-reader" was a
young man of 10 years, who boasts the
popular nom de plume of Union Kid. I"
No one who was in the crowd can be
found. Everybody who knows anything
of the affair heard somebody else tell
abOUt it

The "Chimes of Normandy"

Amateur performance as rule requires
considerable apology, but in the case of
the Church Choir Company the matter is
one of merit only. Few professionals
could do better. The acting of Mr.. Camp
bell shows talent of an unusual order. Mr..
Grambs and Miss McKinny are superb.
Mr.. Saunders enters into the part with the
style of true artist. The large chorus,
fine orchestra, elegant costumes all en-.
nance the finish of the opera. Fifty cents
is small price of admission for such q
performance. Seats may be reserved Sat
urday morning for IS cents extra.

'Show me q community" said someone,
"where the people are lovers of innocent
amusement, healthy recreation, and re-
fined, intellectual pastime, and you show
me a moral and law-abiding community"
The people of Seattle have shown that
they "hll the bill" in all three particulars,
and the inference drawn by the unknown
sage is applicable to this community not
withstanding the pessimistic rawlings of a
few who fear that every succeeding NOR
row will be the second advent
Seattle people are not behind the people
of any city in the world in their public
spirited support and development of any
legitimate form of recreation. They have
their children's fetes, their baseball, their
football, their cricket, their tennis, their
croquet, their boating, their riding,
their bicycling, their social hops,
their mountain parties, their explorers,
their lovers of high-class drama,
melodrama, comedy drama, comedy, farce
comedy, oratorios, opera, operettas, and so
on ad infinitum. And that Seattle people
are appreciative to a degree of liberality of
any effort made to administer to their
pleasure and enjoyment is amply proven
by glance at the history of Cordray's
theater. 1t success was assured from the
moment that it became current that the
MANAGEMENT intended running it in rigor-
Gus conformity with the moral principles
underlying the government of all well
regulated communities. 1t is theater for
the fashionable and for the respectable
element of the city, and can number
among its heartiest supporters the most
prominent people in Seattle.
'Not Guilty" is the attraction this week,
and it was well presented last night to a
large and intelligent audience. There is q
wide range of human action covered by
this melodrama, and it's scenes are full of
absorbing interest to all who witness
them.

Suit for Divorce.

Carolina 8. Carlson brought suit yester-
day in the superior court for divorce from
her husband, Andrew Carlson. The petit
ton sets out that she was married to Carl
son on October "a, 1885. Since that time
she has been subjected to great indignities,
and on several occasions has been struck
and kicked. The defendant is alleged to
be carpenter, capable of earning good
wages. and the plaintiff asks for temporary
