AMUSEME NTS.
Richard Mansfield.

AS the large stage now being built at the
Armory viii be completed in time for Richard
Maustields engagement in this city, Manager
Hanna has decided to play him there as he will
then be enabled to present his plays with all the
scenery and properties, and as they are given in
all the large cities. Mr. Mansfield carries all of
his own scenery and all his productions are re-
markable for their magnificence and careful at
tention to details
On Tuesday, the opening night, Mr.. Mansfield
will appear in a character which first gave him
fame, that OF the Baron Ch,vrial in "a Partisan
Romance" His delineation of the heartless
and cynical old roue bent on feminine conquest,
even on the verge OF the grave, has been pro-
nounce1 simply perfect, while his death scene
in the last act is most wonderful piece OF act
ing.
On the second night OF his engagement Mr..
Mansfiel! will appear as the famous fop and ex-
Qulsite of the Georgian period in beau Brum-
NELL This play is by far the most successful
of the recent productions by Mr. Mansfield. 1t
was first produced a little over year ago in
New York and ran over 200 nights at the Garden
theater.
'Prince Karl" light comedy, vastly differ
ent from any OF the other pieces in his roper
toire, will be presented by Mr.. Mansfield on
Saturday afternoon. His German dialect is
said to be perfect, and his drawing room enter
tainment in the third act shows his mimetic
skill to splendid advantage.
On Saturday evening. the closing night of the
engagement, Mr.. Mansfield will appear in his
famous dual role of "Dr. Jekyil and Mr.. Hyde"
This psychological study is said to have great
fascination not only to men with a scientific
habit OF thought, but to women. 1t is a very
difhcult and trying role, but one in which Mr..
Mansfield has made great success.

Matinee at COrdray's.

The usual matinee for ladies and children
will be given at Cordray's this afternoon. SIN
gomar," as presented by the Cordray Company,
is superior attraction and should be well
patronized during the last three performances
1t is eminently drama of the refined school,
beautiful in its literary style and elevating in
moral tone. 1t has all the beauties of standard
lyric, and one can almost breathe the pure
mountain air and hear the sigh of the wind as
it fees through the lone forest while Parthenia
and Ingomar are on their return journey to
Massilia. The hedgerows are all ablOom with
the delicate colors of the sunny South and the
breeze from the vies with the perfume of
fragrant flowers in making the travellers happy
in loves young dream. Miss Eleanor Barry is
an artist of no mean order as Parthenia. Her
meodious voice, whether whispering tender
words in the ear of Ingomar, or launching words
of contemptuous scorn at Polydor has charm
ing effect at all times on her hearers
The entire cast is very happily sustained
and the performance highly creditable to both
the management and company. The auditor
ium should be visited by all who attend the
theater, as the acts are all entertaining and new
"lngomar' will be performed again tonight and
tomorrow night.

Modified Ruling on Tide Lands Law.

OLYMPIA, May 27-[Special. l-Applicants
for tide lands OF the first class have been
given much trouble by the provision of the
tide lands statute requiring description
OF the land applied for to be given by metes
and bounds, wholly unnecessary and
worthless requirement. since the plat of
the tide lands appraisers furnishes a suf.
hcient description. In view of the
annoyance this provision has caused.
Land Commissioner Forrest has decided
that hereafter applicants for lands of the
first class. where they have been sub
divided into lots and blocks. will not be
required TO give a description of the prop
erty other than by lot and block numbers
Descriptions of the lands of the second
and third classes will still be required by
metes and bounds, as these lands are not
subdlvided, and the commissioner inter-
prets the law to mean that the REQUIRE
ment only applies to these two classes
This ruling will save much expense to ap-
piicants, who have heretofore been re-
CURED tn employ engineers to run out the
lines OF the property desired.

WATER TURNED OFF.
Great Discomfort Due to Official
Stupidity.
NOT A MINUTES NOTICE GIVEN.
Hundreds of Houses Cut CE-The Citi-
zens Left in a Deplorabie Plight
"A Silly Excuse Given.

The upper residence part of the city was
left in deplorable condition for want OF
water all day yesterday. Without mo-
ment's notice hundreds of houses were cut
off; everywhere there was great incon-
venience and in many places positive suf-
fering. Reports were sent TO the Posi-
INTELLIGENcER all day by telephone. in
some cases parents complaining that chill
dren were crying for water and it was i'm
possible to obtain any. Last evening many
a man sat down to cold dinner because
the good housewife had no water with
which to cook him even cup of tea.
Water has frequently been shut off for
a day or two i'll positions of the city dur
ing alterations, but sufficient warning
was always given so that preparations
might be made The utter want of re-
sponsibility shown by the city officials
was the subject of universal condemna-
ton and it was generally attributed to
positive stupidity. The James street car
line was suddenly stopped running but
managed by making connections with
tank to resume later IN the day.
The excuse given cannot be considered
justitiable, as the most ordinary common
sense would have prevented such annoy
ance.
Commissioner Van Brocklin was asked
why it had been done.
1--WE are connecting the mains with the
reservoir and had to let the water run
off," he replied. 1--WE are pumping water
direct through the mains, and it does not
reach the higher points. Until Mond "
or Tuesday the water will be shut off from
the hills from till 5. 1t is unavoidable.
There is no way possible to make the con-
nections otherwise. The pumps are work.
ing to their fullest capacity. 1t is unfor-
tunate that no notice was given, but we
will reduce the number of hours in which
the water is cut off as much as possible"

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The Office OF JanitOr-lnspector Eilicott
Wants to Ride.


The ordinance creating the office of jan
ltor and prescribing his duties was read
before the board of public works yesterday
but nothing can be done until the mayor
has appointed and the board of aldermen
has confirmed him. This office, which is
worth $40 a month. has been a bone of
bitter contention. The mayor desires to
placate William Cochrane by appointing
Madigan, but the board of aldermen want
Smith.
License Inspector Ellicott put in a re-
QUESTION for light driving cart and har-
ness. The board directed him to get the
signature of the mayor, as it was doubtful
to which department he belonged.
Dubose FIFTEEN filed new bond as super
intendent of water-works; it was referred
to Commissioner Van Brocklin, who APP
proved it.
Building Inspector Helms reported in
favor of putting a fire escape on the
city hall; he said that if fire broke out
near the foot of one STAIR while the coun-
Gil chambers were packed with visitors,
there might be a terrible loss of life. 1t
was an old building and would blaze up
very quickly. The board took no action.
Superintendent Cummings said he had
SO many applications for employment that
he asked permission to divide the work
up. He had 200 men seeking work and
only enough for fifty 1t was not a good
plan to shift men like this, but they were
all anxious for work.
Major Rinehart said it certainly was not
good plan, but it would keep the wolf
away from many door. The matter was
left to the street commissioner.
The remainder of the business was en-
tlreiy OF routine character. except for one
Iurld remark by Commissioner Cochran.

BOYCOTTED BY THE sCALPERS.
Getting Even With Hostile Roads-How
Rate Wars are Managed.


An instance of the way the railroads and
the ticket scalpers carry on war IS fur
nished by circular issued by the Chicago
Ticket Brokers' Association on May 20.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and
the Chicago, Milwaukee 81 st. Paul roads
are suspected of having instigated several
indictments against Chicago brokers for
violating the anti-scalping law. The Bur-
lington is also accused of paving commits
sions to agents of the Lake Shore d Michi-
gan Southern and then using the receipts
for those commissions as evidence TO secure
the discharge of the agents in question as
penalty for accepting such commissions.
The circular briefly recites these circum-
stances and proceeds:
WHEREAS, Other lines now have fast trains to
Omaha, Denver and other points; therefore
be il
Rescued, By the Chicago Local Association
that there now no longer exists any good reason
for tickcting any OF our customers over the I'M
friendly lines mentioned, and that we hereby
pledge ourselves not to send any passengers by
those lines to any point when possible to in
duce them to go by any other route.
RESOLVED, That all ticket brokers be advised of
our action by sending them printed copies OF
these resolutions, and that they DC requested 10
take similar action in their local associations
aud individually to adopt the same policy, and
pursue it vigorously. And, that we also re-
quest them to use their influence with their
local ticket agents 70 the same end.
In other words, the scalpers boycott the
hostile roads and divert all the business
possible to the competing lines. Railroad
men denounce them as pirates, but are
glad to use them. When it is desired to
cut rates a big bunch of tickets is sold to
scalper, and for time nearly all the
through passenger business of the cutting
road goes through his hands. Rates are
restored and that scalper becomes pirate,
but he does not complain. for he has a
hide as thick as that of baseball umpire.

ABSORPTION BRINGS ECONOMY.
Northern Pacific Saves Money by Run
ming Through Over Lake shore.


One advantage of the absorption of the
Lake Shore road by the Northern Pacific is
economy in motive power, switching and
car storage space. The engineers are paid
cents a mile, but are assured minimum
of "a day, so that they had to make 100
mile run to earn the minimum on mile
age basis. Formerly some engines did not
make the minimum run, but by running
Northern Pacific engines through over the
Lake Shore and vice versa full service is
obtained from them.
Under the new system the train from
Getchell, arriving in Seattle at IL :25 a. m,
goes through to Portland at 1901 p. m. !;
the train arriving from Portland at 5:05 p.
m. leaves at 5:25 p. m. for Getcheil. and
the train arriving from Sumas at $50 p.
m. leaves at s: As p. IN. for Tacoma; and,
returning. arrives in Seattle at S:45 a. m.
and leaves for Sumas at 9:l5 a. m The
trains on the Snoqualmie branch do not
run through.
This arrangement not only secures full
service from the locomotives, but saves the
labor of switching trains on the storage
tracks and economies the limited storage
capacity of these tracks.
