Clarence), the greaterpart his fortune

For the coming year it promises to be
even better and brighter than hereto

Various restless business men in the
West desire a waterway from Deluth
to Buffalo with a 20-foot channel
throughout. This would be great
boon to shippers, and would cost com
paratively little-a matter of four or
five millions, say the experts. Even
If there should not be foated an adj
ditional pound Of freight, the improve
ment would pay for itself in the end by
keeping railway charges down. Water
way improvement, is the coming fad
IN internal development, and the
Western boomers of the all-water
route from Deluth to the sea are in the
front rank.

AMUsEM ENTS.
"The Sea Of Ice."


From the earliest youth to hoary old
age there is never a time when the heart
fails to take delight in romance. In youth
its glowing pages give wings to fancy. and
imagination carries the reader through
beautiful dreamland where souls as pure
as diamond light and courage as brave as
women are fair mark the heroes and
heroines. In old age it robs time of its
ravages, and at one bound overleaps the
history and events of years. The young
and the old at Cordray's last night were
carried away by the artistic production of
the beautiful romantic drama. "The Sea
of Ice"
Superbly mounted and splendidly acted,
this piece most assuredly deserves liberal
patronage from theater-goers. The cos
tunes were verv becoming and appropri-
ate. and the ensemble of the cast was ex-
ceedingly happy.
Miss Eleanor Barry gave another fine
exhibition of her strong dramatic powers
last night. As the anxious, careworn, de-
voted mother and loving wife she was an
ideal Louise de Lascours. In the great
ice scene this part was SO thoroughly as
sumed, so faithfully portrayed, that the
plant and terror in the voice fell on the
ear like the vail of one who had lost all
hope, and the resignation of despair was
echoed in the fervent prayers offered
amid the thunder of crashing ice
and the swirl of angry waters. As the
Indian maiden Miss Barry was bewitch-
ing figure. The rude costume was so art
fully donned that it not only fulfilled its
relative object, but displayed the 1.-the :,
graceful and comely figure of the wearer
to great advantage. Miss Barry's acting
as the unsophisticated, beautiful child of
the forest. had poetry of native sweet
ness about 1.-THE breath of the wild rose,
the incense of the honeysuckle, the bloom
of the hawthorn. r. e. French is to be
congratulated ON his really fine work
in the roles of Carlos and the
Marquis del Monte. His lines were
we'll rendered and their sentiment accu-
rately expressed. He costumed the char
acters admirably, and his fine stage pres
ence added to the merits of praiseworthy
impersonations. Lorimer tombstone and
w. NJ. Hodges sustained the parts of Hor.
ace de Brionne and George dc Laval very
creditably and both were advantageously
costumed. George Berry made q fine APP
appearance as Captain de Lascours, and
Sam Morris furnished the only comedy of
the piece by clever Characterization Of
Barabas. Jean Welner presented Pierre
Pascome truthfully, and William Bennett
showed careful preparation in his
portrayal of Jean Medoc. Miss Margaret
Marshall reflected the aristocratic Count
ess de Theringe with fine effect, and Miss
Eva Earle French interpreted the part of
Diana de Lascours skiifully. Nor was
little Edna Kelley q whit behind her
elders. She made beautiful picture in
the ice scene with her pretty dress and her
intelligent child-face surrounded by halo
of golden curls. The auditorium pro-
gramme, with the exception of one act, is
well worthy of patronage.

AGAINST THE CITY.
Judge Osborn Gives Judgment
on Street Grade Warrants.
TRIAL CASE TO TEST THE LAW.
n VIII Go to the Supreme Court-Pros.
ecuting Attorney Miller Unearths
IN Old Judgment.

case of the utmost Importance, since
involves the liability of the city upon
over $500. 900 worth of outstanding street
.rade warrants, was heard last night be-
fare Judge Osborne, whose decision was
.eainst the city. The suit was brought by
C. Soule against the city to recover
over $l1.0OO on warrants, which were is
sued to E. T. Smart, and by him assigned
10 Soule.
Smart made a contract with the CITY in
1900 for the grading of South Twelfth
street. from Yesler avenue to Stacy street.
warrants were issued in part payment of
The work. In 1891 the city levied an as
sessment on the property abutting on the
street to pay the cost of the improve
ments. The owners took the case to the
superior court by proceedings in certiorari,
and there the assessment was decided to
he void, for the reason that there had not
been a compliance with the charter re.
ouirements, and that proper notice of the
assessment had not been published. After
the decision Soule brought suit, claiming
that the city should pay because of negli-
eence in levying the assessment.
The case was called for trial last night
before Judge Osborn, Corporation Counsel
ponworth having determined to make it a
test suit to determine the liability of the
civ upon street grade warrants. It was
tried in formal way in order to obtain
decision from which an appeal can be
taken to the supreme court. After hear
ing the testimony Judge Osborn held that
the plaintiff was entitled to recover. The
city gave notice of appeal.
Although great many judgments have
been rendered against the city in claims of
this kind, this is the first case to be taken
to the supreme court in order to obtain its
opinion of the law. The amount of I'M
paid warrants reaches over 100000, be-
sides interest. The result of the case will
be very far reaching. as it will establish the
law of the state and will apply not only to
Seattle but to all the other cities. It will
not be heard in the supreme court before
October.
