"Jane" at Seattle Opera House.

"Jane," a reigning comedy success, will
be given its first production IN Seattle at
the opera-house this evening by Charles
Frohman's company of players. This is
the story of "Jane'': Charles Shakelton
Is young man of prospects. Left por-
ton by his aunt on condition that he
marries before securing any of the money;
so long as ne is able to conduct all his
business by correspondence he succeeds in
making his guardian believe that he has a
wife and child. He has involved himself
in debt, and has blamed it all on the ex-
trayagance of his wife, when Mr.. Kershaw,
the old guardian, desires to visit him and
demonstrate with the lady. This makes it
necessary for the young man to provide
himself with wife. William. his servant.
selects Mrs. Chadw a widow of mature
years, to play the part, and when Ker-
shaw arrives introduces her as Mrs. Shak-
elton. She accepts the situation in hope
of becoming in reality his wife. But
Shakelton, having thought of everything
and found no better way out of his en-
barrassment, notices his bright house.
maId Jane, and proposes that she play
the part for consideration of f100. She
accepts, and he at once sends her out to
plays her part to the perfect satisfaction of
her master and his guardian, but to the
great CONSERVATION of William, whose
real wife she became that morn
ing. The situation becomes more
ridiculous with each of the
three acts and Jane has the. ready wit to
meet every emergency, even to borrowing
baby when the old guardian asks after
the hopeful heir. whom his young scape-
grace of ward has had pictured in his
correspondence. But this display breaks
down Williams patience and he upsets
the whole game. Jane is driven to con-
fession; is forgiven for her cleverness, and
Shakelton. having been forgiven by his
sweetheart, Lucy Norton, becomes mar
ried man in truth and receives his fortune.
The one-act play "Chums" will be given
as a curtain raiser with Jane" 1t is one
of the latest and best of the one-act plays
which have become the rage, and will be
given with special cast, including Lisette
LIE Baron, Katherine Grey, Paul Arthur
and Herbert Fortier. The cast for "Jane"
is as follows:

sThe Minister at COrdrav's.

To all theater-goers who love the refined
school of acting, the quiet rather than the
robust, the simplicity of art in the repre-
sentatlon of character unaided by exagger-
ated dramatic effect. there is offered fine
attraction in the production tonight of
1.-The Minister" at Cordray's. The COM
pany has several new faces tonight, the
most prominent being that of David
Murray. the new leading man. With Miss
Eleanor Barry in the chief part of the
piece and Mr. Murray in the title role,
patrons may expect an artistic perfor-
nance. An entirely new bill is announced
for the auditorium.

One Trouble with the New DIMES.

The new coins out from the mint this
year have run against various objections
based on aesthetic grounds. 1t has re-
manned for Washington man about
town to discover that the dimes are a
failure from practical standpoint. He
has detected defect beside which the
bullheadedness of the goddess of liberty
and the eagles attenuated wings are
mere trifies.
This gentleman dropped into the thea
ter on a recent evening, and being seized
with desire to ascertain whether the
diamonds worn by the star were genu-
inc, turned toward the opera glass case
attached to the back of the next chair.
He fshed q new dime from his pocket
and was about to drop the same into the
slot, according to established usage,
when he found that his dime would not
enter. Further investigation with other
dimes and slots in the vicinity showed
that the new coinage is misft for one
of its most universal purposes.
The grave question arises: What is to
be done with the machines when the old
dimes drop out of circulation? The slot
machine men would do well to have an
understanding with the director of the
mint before any more coinages are pro-
jected.-Washington Post.

An Electric Equine.

George Z. Benton, who resides ON In
diana avenue, has discovered an electric
horse. Benton stepped from street
car at Wabash and Eighteenth street
while the horses were being trotted. He
placed his hand ON the flank of one of
. the animals, bay mare, and received
tremendous shock. The car was at
tached TO a cable train and sped onward.
After it had gone IA block Benton re-
turned and experienced q succession of
slight shocks, which gradually died
away as the mare became cooler from
standing. Benton then had the mare
trotted up aud down the street for ten
minutes. She came back in u foam and
was taken at once to the damp ground.
A dozen men then formed hands, first
wetting the soles of their shoes thor
oughly III the horse trough. AS Benton
put his hands on the mare every man
distinctly felt the shock. "Now one
man let go at time," shouted Benton,
and they did SO, the shock intensifying
as each man fell out, SO that at last, when
the number was reduced to three, the
next man cried out, "Some of you
fellers catch hold again; I can't stand
this"
Mr.. Benton sent the mare trotting
again, and meantime climbed a lamp
post. Another man climbed after him
and caught ho2d of his hand. He clasped
the post firmly with his legs and gave
his disengaged hand to a third man, who
in turn placed his hand on the mares
flank. Benton turned on the gas jet
and put his index finger on the nozzle of
the jet Instantly a series OF sparks
flashed through the living chain from
the excited horse and the gas blazed up.
Benton was so exhausted by this last ex-
pertinent that he had to be taken down
from the lamp post. The manager of a
dime museum has offered large sum
to the company for the privilege of ex.
hibiting the horse. se.-Chicago Cor. Kansas

To Prevent Calamities by Fire.

The first thing which civilized COM
munity should require in the erection of
houses which are intended to be used for
hotels and theaters and halls is that they
shall be practically tireproof. If people
are willing to take the risk" the public
should refuse to permit them to take it.
If proper and reasonable precautions for
safety increase the expense of building
rents may be increased, and the price Of
lodging. There need be no fear that a
hotel which is known to be practically
fireproof will not be amply supported
because its rates are higher that those of
a death trap. Calamities like the burn
ing of the Hotel Royal have become so
common that it is not without serious
apprehension that travellers now enter
their rooms in hotels. The coil of rope
which is supposed to be designed to help
them in a direful emergency merely re-
minds them of their peril and of their
probable inability in sudden alarm to
cope with it.-Harper's Weekly.

Hanged and Shot and Still Alive.

John Cook, life man, has been re-
leased on a communication. Some nine
years ago Cook perpetrated cold blood
ed murder in Webster county. The
people were so worked up over the mag
nitude of his crime that mob was or
ganized and Cook was taken from the
Jail and hanged to tree. Three shots
were fred into his body, and he was left
swinging and supposedly dead. The
sheriff cut the body down and was sur
prised to see signs of returning life.
Cook recovered, and in view Of the
violence he had suffered the judge gave
him a life sentence. This was com
muted some months later by Governor
Thayer to twelve years He received
threeyears' good time and was released

Fertilizers for Lawns,

The very common practice of covering
city lawns with barnyard manure is dis
agreeable alike to the occupants Of the
home as well as passers by. Q. M.
Hooker thinks that it is very queer, after
taking so much time and labor to make
good green lawn eight months Of the
year, the contents Of the barnyard should
be dumped upon it to remain there the
rest Of the twelvemonth. He affirms
that if the owners who do this should
practice instead dressing their lawns
with unbleached ashes and nitrate Of
soda it would keep fertility and offend

Arrested for Christening.

A curious lawsuit has been instituted
in Shenandoah, Va A few Sundays ago
the wife of David Jones brought their
infant child to the Episcopal church to
be baptized. Before the ceremony be-
gan Jones arose and exclaimed: "Hold
on! If you christen that child you do it
against the wish and religion of the
father. am an English Baptist" The
wife said it was her wish to have the child
christened and the minister proceeded
with the ceremony. The husband then
had the clergyman arrested under a law
which states that father has the spirit
ual and educational control of his child
until it arrives at the age OF maturity.
The case has been sent to court, where it
will be tested. Boston Journal.
