"Blue Jeans" was presented before q
large audience last night at the Seattle
opera-house. It is an attractive play be.

of peculiar people, and because in it
there is variety of character. happy Incl

that breaks through the rustic speech of
humble people. There is nothing par.
ticularly new In the scope OF the plot. The
story of a wrecked woman, who allures q
weak man into her power. and Of the pure
wife who never loses faith, of
the man who will even murder
to win the woman he loves, and of the final
triumph of right and the defeat of evil. is
as old as the drama itself. When it is told
in new dialect, however; is presented in
q setting of absolutely novel scenery and
effect, it becomes attractive and bright,
and well worth seeing. The effects, many

wherein human form is rapidly moved

Burglars DO Not Spare the Mighty
Two Moro Attempts.
Two more attempted burglares have
come to light, and the burglars have now
grown so bold that they can attack the
house Of Democratic police commits
sioner.
The intended victim was Police Commits
sioner Manning. He reported at police
headquarters yesterday that about 10
O'Clock Wednesday evening q man
knocked at the door of his residence and
made an inquiry as to where some person
lived. He was answered, but continued
the conversation for a few minutes and
then left the place. Shortly afterwards
Mr.. Manning went down stairs and found
the door open. His theory was that a
burglar had secreted himself in the house.
and, finding the people up and active, had
concluded not to do the job, and that the
man who appeared at the door was his
confederate.
The other attempt was made about 2
O'Clock yesterday morning at the resi-
dencs of Manager Ellison. of the WASH
ington Electric Light Company, at Yesler
avenue and Lake street. Mrs. Ellison was
awakened by a sudden noise and saw q
room occupied by herself and her hus.
band. Mr.. Ellison jumped out of bed,
picked up heavy piece of wood lying near
the stove and threw it at the burglar, put
ting him to flight. Mr.. Ellison bought a
pistol yesterday and will put more trust
in it than in the police.

"She" ut Cordray's.

The production of "She" at Cordray's
has created widespread comments, all of a
fattering character. Both the company
and management are to be congratulated
on the success Of this very entertaining
spectacular play. Nor are the scenic artist
and stage mechanic to be omitted from the
list of those who merit praise. The scenes
are specimens of fine artistic skill and
mechanical ingenuity. They show con-
siderable imaginative ability and dexter
ity in execution. The cave of the Fire Of
Life is an impressive picture, as is also the
palace of the Temple of Truth. The grand
finale to the ballet performance is a won
derful exhibition of color and brilliant

terday as far as the superior court is con.
cerned by Judge Lichtenberg refusing to

strained from interference with the track
south of Yesler avenue.
The application fot permanent injunc-

manent injunction and dissolved the tenn
porary Injunction previously granted in
