Paris Astoundcd by the Sudden Death Of
NJ. Ferry.

PARIS, March 1s.-The news of VI.
Ferry's death astonnded the city. No
other event since Gambctta's death has
made such a deep impression. Only
three evenings ago he was at the opera,
and Thursday he presided over the SEN
ate. Hundreds of politicians called at
the house during the evening and in
scribed their names on the visitors
books. The extra editions issued inn
mediatcly after the death are still sell
ing in enormous numbers.
Last week NJ Ferry resigned the
presidency of the Estafcttc newspaper
to his duties in the senate. The gen.
cral feeling is that although his cleo
ton to the presidency Of the senate was
contrary to the wishes Of NJ. Carnot
and M. Ribot. his death is serious loss
TO the government. In the case of an
other cabinet crisis. he. in his official
capacity, would have been the first
man to whom NJ. Carnot would have
been bound to turn for advice. 1t was
Ferry's supporters in the senate com
peeled his election in the room of NJ lie
Roy, who was found to lack qualities
for his part in the next crisis.
NJ. Carnot as president, NJ. Ribot as
Premier and NJ. Ferry as president OF
the senate, the opportunists felt that
they had four of their strongest men
i'm positions to meet the perilous conse-
qucnces of the Panama exposure.
AS yet the names of possible sue
ccssors to the position have been hardly
mentioned.

Frank Daniels aud His Clever Compan,
at the Seattle Theater.

The laughabe extravaganza. Little
Puck" presented by Frank Daniels and
his jolly.company, drew a large audience
10 the Seattle theater last evening. and
three hours OF almost continuous laughter
sent them all home good humored. The
play Is a dramatlxation of Vice Versa"
IN which. by the magic power of
an old idol, father and son change
bodies, each retaining his natural i'm
pulses and eecentricities. The boy Billy
then revels in his fathers wealth. while
the old man, transformed into a boy at
school. raises Cain generally. gets con,in-
ually threshed and glides easily into the
affections of his sons Sweetheart.
Frank Daniels, first father then son, Is
irresistibly cou,ical. Entirely free from
that exaggeration which so frequently
mars the work Of the comedian, there Is an
apparent spontaneity 10 his fun that rem
ders 1t irresistible. He has also mastered
the tricks of the trade in the selection OF his
company. lie appreciates the value OF
pretty women. and is surrounded by
bevy of them. They wear elegant cos
tunes, some Of them elaborate and dow
ing. Others neat and closely fitting. The
gorgeous spiendor of the cos,uming and
tho attractive scenery. under the changing
colors of the electric lights, produce
pleasing effect. The music was lively, the
songs catchy and we'll sung, the old jokes
are left out and the new ones rich and
startling, while the dancing is entirely in
harmony with the graceful movement OF
the whole play. No brighter, chirpier or
eleverer combination of Iaughmakers has
visited Seattle for many long day. The
engagement closes this evening.

Judge Langley yesterday refused z. C.

ana h. III. Griffith temporary injunction
against the levy OF al execution upon
theiF property TO satisfy the sis 90 judg-
mens obtained against them as sureties on
supersedeas bond by Frank and Annie
Sears in their big damage suit against the
Seattle Consolidated Street RAILWAY Com
pany.
The judge held that the matter in the
complaint was old straw that had
been threshed in the supreme court
when the bondsmen had the re-
mittitur recalled and the motion 10
set aside the judgment heard. The
supreme court had refused 10 interfere
after a careful investigation. aud he there
fore believed the bondsmen's complaint
without a cause Of action. The statute
allows an application for al Injunction 70
be made To the supreme court where re-
fused by the superior court IN case the
parties sought 10 be enioined are insolvent.
The Judge finally held Sears and his wife
insolveni. although shey claimed to be

Cured many expenses while travelling that
II was not customary to itcmize. all of
which he Jumped With travelling expenses

uer he explained also why IL had been i'm
possible ior him to present an itemlsed

examined on the stenographev's bill hc
explained that ne had not placed Miss Lit

that nevertheless she Was IN the com

mated by the defense. lie had hired her,
not as public stenographer. hut as n pri-
vate secretary, paying her OUT of ms own
poeke, and trusting 10 the company TO re-
pay him.
