ADJUSTMENTS.


Admirers of refined drama were graft
fed by the first performance of Young
Mrs. Winthrop" at Cordray's last night.
The realism with which unhappy home
life is presented, and the clearness with
which the causes of unhappiness are
shown, combine 10 make the performance
instructive as well as entertaining. The
happy denouement relieves the piece of
Its sombreness and restores the mind of
the auditor to that buoyant hopefulness
which always inclines toward the optimis-
tic view of human nature. Miss Isabel
Morris in the title role was a happy
embodiment ofthe dramatist's ideal. Her
costumes were in artistic harmony with
her character and station, and in connec-
ton with well toned, cleverly conceived
and admirably acted part, formed the
prominent feature of the representation.
Miss Stella Reece gave an admirable por
trayal of Mrs. Dick Chetwyn, the fashion,
able lady who changes husbands with the
same indifference that she displays when
changing gloves. Her costumes were
beautiful and varied, and set off her fine
figure to great advantage. Francis Morris
in the part of Douglas Winthrop fulfilled
the expectations of his many friends. For
so young an actor, Mr.. Morris gives great
promise of future distinction. The bal
ance of the cast was well acted. The au-
ditorium bill was performed to an over
flowing hall,

DEMosrHENEs DE DOW.
The Orator Mystillcs the Democracy In
the Fifth.

u
About twenty of the Democratic brethren
were present at the meeting Of the Fifth
Ward Democratic Club, held at the corner
of Fifth and Pike streets last night.
Michael Phillips presided, and, after an-
nouneing that Democrats believed in
equality, called on Benjamin Franklin De
Bow as an exponent of that principle.
The brethren evidently appreciated De
Bows leaning toward the equal division
of property at least, and sent up a whoop
as their idol stepped forward and faced
them with as much pomp as gladiator
after having vanquished a famous adj
versary. His speech was a lurid descrip-
ton OF corruption which. he says, exists
in the present city administration. When
he sat down no one seemed to know what
he had said, bat all cheered.
Daniel kelleher followed. and without
appearing to be satiricaI, opened his ad-
dress by abiding to 1.-The able remarks of
the speaker who had preceded him." and
added that "if voters could only hear sim
liar addresses every few nights, there
would be no doubt as to the result of the
election" He then launched off into the
tariff on tin, and was soon lost in his SUBJ
ject.
E F. Blaine made q non-partisan speech,
in which he stated that the negligence in
the collection of grade taxes had its origin
in the administration of the old peoples
marty some wears ago.

IN PRESENT QUARTERS.
The Chamber of Commerce Has De
cided to STAY.

There was largely attended meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce last night to
settle upon the question af quarters for the
next year. The decision was to remain at
the present place and pay rental of $500
per month to John Leary, the owner. C.
K. Smith. who runs the restaurant, will
buy the fixtures and furniture of it, pay
for it 500 q month for twelve months.
He Will also supply fuel, light
and janitor service free, and will
pay rental of 800 month for the rooms
upstairs not occupied by the chamber.
Thus the chamber will be able to get $500
a month from Mr.. Smith and pay the
rent from that. Hitherto the rent of the
building has been Sl75 a month, but the
Rainier Club had offered Mr.. Leary $500
for it. The club also offered the chamber
81, 700 for q lot of the furniture.
Quarters were offered in the Seattle Ma
tional bank block for $50 a month, in the
Pioneer block for $40 and in the Bailey
block for $I05

Katie Putnam's Engagements.

Katie Putnam, fresher and sprightlier
than ever, appeared at the Seattle opera
house last night in breezy Western COM
edy-drama entitled, "Loye Finds Way"
The play is not very strong, but it is win.
ming, the characters are simple and well
drawn, and there is considerable comedy
running through every act. The star her
self is particularly clever, and the author
has provided for her in the part of Gay
Howard, who glides through life like
sunbeam, a part in which she can
sing and dance as much as she pleases,
and herein lies Miss Putnam's finest and
most pleasing powers. Her songs and
dances were vigorously applauded. Rob-
ert Bell, as Sminks, Charles Mortimer as
Clifton, and Lew o. Hart, as the old
topper, were excellent, playing their re-
spectiye parts with intelligence. The
other members OF the cast performed
their duties in a thoroughly capable
manner. The whole play was attractive
in every way. Tonight Miss Putnam will
give "Erma, the Elf" with which char
acter she is widely identified. Tomorrow
night Danl Sully will produce "The
Millionaire" strong play and excellent
cast

SOLDIERS GET THEIR PAY.
Over $4,000 to Be Distributed Among
Six Companies This Week

Acknowledgement Charles Esplin, jr., re-
turned yesterday from Olympia with So
069.50 of the states money, which is to pay
the militia for services at the King county
mines. The money will be distributed
among three Seattle, two Tacoma and one
Port Townsend company. Payment on
warrants will be begun today, and before
the end of the week each mans claim will
be fully satisfied.
This is the claim which the adjutant
general and the military board refused to
pay, upon the ground that the county and
not the state was the responsible party
The case was carried to the supreme court
by the late Colonel J. C. Haines and Cap
tain J. II. Ashton. That court decided in
favor of the militia, that the state must
pay. and after over six months delay the
National Guard secures remuneration for
services rendered.
