A NEW AND GOOD PLAY.
Success OF 'sThe Girl I Left Behind Me-"
Mt the Seattle Theater

nj the seattle Theater.
About 1, 200 people Of both sexes fell in
love with The Girl Left Behind Ne.
when they saw her az the Seattle theater
last night, and they were quite excusahls
in 50 doing. She is brave girl and a
true-hearted girl, as soldiers daughter
aud . soldiers wife should be; she
is girl who Is ready to sacrifice
her love to her plighted word
and she has the courage to look death In
the face and choose il rather than dis
honor. This is Kate Kennion as Mrs.
Berian-Gibbs presents her. and the man
she loves. Lieu. Edgar Hawkesworth, by
Harold Russell. Is worthy OF her love, and
Lieut. Morton Parlow. as shown by Henry
Herman, is such despicable villain as to
earn her scorn.
IL Is 9 good, strong drama such rs will

The company Is an all-around good one,
for though there are weak paints, they are
not many nor serious. As Kate, Mrs.
Berian-5ibbs makes the most of the sew
eral strong situations which her part af-
fords, and won thunders of applause by
the skill with which she fails to conceal
her love for Hawkesworth and above all
by the great climax at the end of the third
act. where she pleads with her father to
take her life to save her from the Indians,
and, having won. kneels and repeats
the burial service in preparation for
death. The old generals finger Is on
the trigger Of his revolver and she stands
awaiting the shot, but he hesitases and aid
comes in that second. Mr.. Russell makes
Hawkesworth the brave, manly. straight
forward fellow he is intended TO be and
wins all hearts as readily as Kate. Mr..

THERE IS NO COAL IN ALASKA.


Puget Sound Must supply the Needs
The white Otter Hunters.
DuTcH HARBog. Alaska, Sept. L-[Spe-
eial Correspondents. The North Ameri-
can Commercial Company's new town at
Dutch Hsrbor is steadily increasing in
Importance. and is now recognized as the
principal port of call in Western Alaska.
Tourists anxious to see the country
can reach this point in the mail
steamer Crescent City, which con :
meets with the Sitka steamers once q
month. and excellent observation-disclosures
be had at the companys agency at the end
of the route. The last steamer brought
out halt dozen passengers and they are
enthusiastic in their comments on the
country. Mr.. A. X. Pulien, OF New York,
q writer for an Eastern syndicate, is at
present at this place taking photographs
and making preparations for publishing q
book on the subject of his Western trip.
One of the great difficulties in the way
Of steamer travel in this part of Alaska
has been until recently the scarcity of
coal. This trouble is now avoided by the
establishment by the new fur company of
a coaling station at Dutch Harbor. where
vessels may always count on getting q
supply. Two ships. the John f. Briggs
ana j. B. Brown, have just brought up
fresh cargoes. and there is at present on
hand about 5000 tons. The coal mine
opened at Port Union, some sixty miles
east of Unimak pass, has been given up
by the company owning it on ac-
count of failure to find the coal
In sufficient quantities to pay. The
quality of coal found at this place was ex-
cellent. especially adapted for steamer pur-
poses. but the development of the deposit
showed the coal to be in pockets, and, as
there was no prospect of true vein be-
ing discovered. work was discontinued
this spring. All of the coal so far found
In Alaska Is Ignite and is not SO well
adapted for steaming purposes as the BIZ
tuminus Goals found further south: it is
highly probable that the coal fields of
Washington and Vancouver island will
continue to supply Alaska with coal for
many years to come.
