play. From the moment the curtain rose
until the play was over the audience was
conyulsed with laughter. The play in itself
is plotless farce comedy and consists mainly
Of sparkling repartee and bright witty and

they had not furnished. 1t all came about in
this way, Sevcral-and there are a few
progressive borough fathers took it into their
heads that the lights from different lamps
were unequal and none OF them gave out
what was claimed by the light company, a
power equal to 1000 candles. In truth the
company, in the opinion of these certain
progressive couucilmeu, were hiding their
lights under as many bushels, SO to remark,
and they organized secret investigation
with Carl Herring, the well known Philadel-
phia electrician, for guide. The result was
that Mr.. Herring-and what he don't know
about such things is not worth finding ont

The Webfoot Governor Again Speaks

Gov. Pennoyer, of Oregon, possesses
marked identity. 1t is AS impossible
for him to he anything but Sylvester
Pennoyer, as it would be for politi-
clan to be Christian. The Governor
OF Oregon did not snub Adlai as he did
Ben, but he gave the Vice President to
understand that the people expected
much of the Administration that they
should get, and proceeded to explain
that Il simple repeal of the Sherman
law and the establishment of a gold
basis, would not meet the expecta-
tons based upon an explicit platform
declaration. Adlai rather lodged the
the implied query, by an answer Oh
lique, or as Fat would call it an "eva-
sive answer"
The speeches. as reported. were as
follows:
No fairer land upon earth is visited
by the sunlight of heaven than our
own Oregon, and yet with all our re-
sources many OF our industries are at
a standstill, and hundreds of our labor
ing men are without employment and
their families are without bread. This
condition OF affairs is the legitimate re.
suit of the departure from the finan-
cial policy of our fathers, made
many years ago and which still ex-
lists. Believing this, we appeal to you
to use your utmost influence to pro-
cure the return to policy of govern
ment which was successfully followed
for eighty years.
The simple repeal of the Sherman
law, thus leaving our financial system
on gold basic, by the great political
party which elected you to the next
highest office in gift of the people,
which has gained control of the legis-
lative and executive branches of the
government and which pledged itself
to the people in its last national plat
form to secure, without discriminating
against either metal, the coinage and
use of both gold and silver as the
standard money of the country, would
be most fragrant breach OF good
faith which all honorable men would
scorn and which would justly subject
the party perpetrating it to the I'M
measured contempt of the nation and
the world.
"The people of Oregon therefore
beg you to aid in carrying out the
written pledge of your party by the
restoration Of the former financial pol
icy OF the government, which would
result in the return of prosperity, the
revival of industries and the employ
ment OF the vast army OF unemployed"
The Vice President, after expressing
his gratefulness for the welcome, said:
In response to the words of the dis
tinguished head of the State l can
only say that to the best of my abili-
ties will endeavor to cooperate with
those. who. regardless of party, have in
view the best interests OF the common
people of the land"

The Order Of Foresters.

Nearly all benevolent orders of the
State have now obtained local juris-
diction. The last to branch off from
the parent stem was the Ancient Or
der of Foresters, which has hitherto
been under control OF the grand court
of Oregon. Having more than. ten
courts within the State, the fraternity
was entitled TO jurisdiction of their
own, and at Seattle this week, the
representatives of 16 courts met and
organized a grand court. The first
grand officers are: G. C. r.. DR.. L. c..
Neville. Of Seattle; G. S. r., P. D..
Faucet. of Tacoma; G. r. s., nj. E..
Turner. of Snohomish; G. F. s., P. J..
Whitman, OF Seattle; G. T., q. NJ.
Stewart, OF Seattle; G.. S. w.. J. s.
Burrows, of New Whatcom: G. S. b.,
w. o. Powell, Of Olympia; G. ]. B.,
J. A. Bradbury, OF Roslyn; Grand
Trustees, F. H. Clark, of Everett, W..
c. Jones, OF Black Diamond and N. j.
Hasking, OF Wilkeson.
The history of this organization in
the State has shown extraordinary
vigor, and despite the business depres-
sion OF the past two years, which has
had marked influence on orders with
kindred objects, has seemingly not re-
tarded its growth and evident pros
perity. -.
