Inc trio had about reached the center of

locomotive and rumbing sound warned
them OF impending danger. Looking

Maher seemed to recover his scattered wits
ana threw himself sideways with terrific
force, just a fraction of second before the
locomotive passed over the spot where he
had stood. The locomotive grazed his
trousers as he flew through the air, but

bruises he miraculously escaped injury.

his usual equanimity.

"The Daniche ifs" Tonight.

The Co-dray company will give the first
performance of 1.-THE Danicheffs" tonight
The work of Alexander Dumas. this piece
possesses great literary and dramatic
merit. The lines are choice and the senti-
ment is lofty and pure. While the plot is
simple, there is no lack Of interest on that
score, as the attention is centered through
out on the aristocratic lover and his con-
stancy to the humble object of his atfec-
tons. Osip, natures nobleman, is beau
tiful creation, and his sublime self-denial
teaches a lesson of high resolve faithfully
carried out and of manly resignation to
the inevitable. In the hands of Mr.. George
Osbourne this part cannot fail to stand
out in bold relief. The cast has been ju-
diciously distributed. and the production
promises to be first-class In every respect.

The Only American Aristocracy.

American women are very beautiful and

and that has been called The only
American aristocracy, and there is
truth underlying the claim of each. The
tramp is an arIstocrat because he Is an idler.
The college boy is an arisiocrat because he has
much leisure for sport Tie army and navy

DOING GOOD WORK.
Seattle Athletic Club on the High Road
to Splendid Success.

Seattle Athletic Club on the High Road
to Splendid Success.
The Seattle Athletic Club, organized but
ten weeks ago, has already good start on
the road TO success in its splendid work Of
furnishing recreation to the young men of
this city. Within that time the club has
rolled up membership of nearly 100 of
the best young men in Seattle and the list
is steadily growing The work OF the club
in booming football and its evident inten-
ton to foster all clean amateur sport has
deservedly aroused q feeling of general in
terest in its welfare.
Inc Club Is now occupying temporary
quarters in the Seattle National bank
building. where not only physical exercise
but social amusement can be had. The
quarters include billiard room, reading
room, card room and exercising room, all
OF which are for the free use of the men,
bers. gymnasium is also to be opened
In few days which will be supplied with
the best of apparatus. The erection of
new building, three stories of which will
be constructed especially for the use of the
club, is shortly to be begun on Front
street. This will give the club about as
complete quarters as are to be found on
the Pacific coast.
The value of such an institution cannot
be Overestimated. At small expense it
gives young men the opportunity of need
full exercise; 1t cuitivates a healthful in
terest in amateur sport; it affords oppor-
tunities for social intercourse and tends to
establish a feeling of brotherhood among
the youth Of new city that has been re-
cruited from all parts of the Union. The
support that it deserves ought to be gem
erai, and the valuable results of its opera
ton are sure to make themselves felt in a
very short time.

Purely Amateur Sport Played on It's
Merits-stanford University to
Send . Team to Seattle.

The rapidity with which football has
mounted into popular favor in the Pacific
Northwest is marvellous. Last year Ia
coma and Portland played two matches
with considerable show of interest by
the friends Of the team, but that was all Of
the sport seen in this section. This year
pubic indifference has grown into enthu-
siastic support. Practically all of the edu-
catlonal institutions of the states of Wash
lngton and Oregon have taken hold of the
sport. The cities of Seattle, Tacoma and
Portland have developed strong but
healthy rivalry for supremacy. and the in-
terest grows daily. When Seattle from
among its best people turns out one of the
largest and certainly the most demonstra-
tive crowd in the history of Madison
street park, it must mean something more
than passing curiosity.
The explanation lies in the fact that the
people are seeing clean amateur sport of a
high order. They are watching young
men from among their midst, whose pres
ence there is due only to love of the game,
which exacts from the participants in it
qualities of manliness. pluck and deter
mination. 1t is about the only sport of
note that. professionalism has not
taken hold of and the recognition that L:
is always played on its merits. with glory
for the only incentive to hard work. en-.
dears it to the public. Properly fostered,
1t cannot help but remain the leading out
door sport of the country in cold weather.
Seattle is promised more line football. in
the near future. While the public is still
busy discussing the Thanksgiving day
game, the victorious Athletic club team is
laying plans for more conquests. The
Multnomah Athletic club team, of Port
land. has been dickering for a game for
some time and it will probably come of
during the holidays. Leland Stanford, jr.,
University is arranging to send its team
north for series of games at Portland,
