The entertainment at the new Seattle
thesfer tomorrow and Wednesday nights
will be Charles L. Davis in his ever welcome
popular comedy, "Avin Joslin." Mr.. Da-
Wis has already been the recipient of en-
thusiastic greetings in this city. He is
the same quaint. big-hearted, good hu-
mored. eccentric ''0ld Uncle Alvin" His
Characterization OF the down-east farmer
visiting New York city is always funny.
and the effect of his frolicsome adventures
always CONFUSE his audience. No one
can resist the mirth-provoking representa-
ton. Mr.. Davis company this season is
fully as strong as ever. and the play will
be presented with q complete outfit of new
and appropriate scenery, and very reaiis-
tic, being the same as used at his own
theater. "The Alyin," at Pitt.burg. al
vim Josiin'' is in its sixteenth year, and
is probably one OF the best known and
popular comedies of the era Many mill
ions have seen il. Like good wine, the
older it grows the better We like il.
OF course. the play is about the same as
when Last seen IN this city. excep: that il
has been given 3 new and handsome stage
setting, and the ..1s0 laughs in as many
minutes" are still to ne had
One especially effective scene is that IN
the second act, showing the East river by
moonlight, the Brooklyn bridge promi-
nently IN the foreground. The simmer
OF moonlight on the water made il seem
quite real. The climax is reached in this
scene when Alvin plunges into the river
and rescues the heroine from a watery
grave in the most realistic manner. In
dependent of the dramatic portions. Mr..
Davis is especially amusing in the comedy
portions, and in certain respects alvin
Josiin" Is much better play than THE
Old Homestead"

preserved as 10 the crime, so far as the

OF Internal Revenue Quinn said that

course OF opposition to the law the
Chinese Six Companies have brought
their own destruction. In case tho do

IN chinese mission work for over q

When the little boy or girl does get on
fire, every one ought to have perfectly
clear idea of '7hat to do. At present gen.
eral nebulous notion exists that the correct
procedure is TO rush up stairs for blanket,
CT seize rug or hearthrug and endeavor to
throw it around the terrified and screaming
victim, who probably by this time is half
way down the street. Children do not stand
still when in flames waiting for our kind
offices, but invariably rush into the passage
or open al and SO get burned to death.
If children in our schools were taught
and drilled whenever they get on fire at
once to fall on the ground and roll over and
over on the burning part, or if they saw
amy other children on FIRE to throw them
down and roll them over and over till the
burning clothes were fairly extingulshed
we should have fewer cases of severe burns
few object lessons with dressed dolls
would impress the value Of the horizontal!
position more than any words.-Londor
