ADJUSTMENTS.
Seattle at Cordray's Theater.


The Chase company had a good FIRST
night with the new sensational historical
play, Seattle" at Cordray's last night
and Will doubtless have even a larger
crowd tonight. The piece was fairly well
presented, and the actual stage setting
for mountain scenery and Indian adven-
ture was somewhat enhanced by the pres
ence Of Princess Angelina in a prominent
seat in one of the lower boxes She sat
through the play with unmiXed delight,
and said afterward that the stage Indians
looked like sure enough Indians
The piece itself is an adaptation of
Nick OF the Woods" a rather blood
thirsty serial that appeared several years
ago in the Fireside Companion. The
adaptation has localized the story, as The
name implies, and the Seattle lines which
the pen of Manager Russell has added are
by no means the worst of the play. Ihe
plot is little more than chain of udVcn-
lures in wild and newly settled country.
The three characters that perhaps Gf
ford most diversion are Tillie Doe, which
is well played by Hettie Bernard Chase;
the Jibbenainosay. in which Harry Town
send revels with all his old time Bowsry
fervor. and Ralph StaCkpole, who n the
hands of Edwin +. Gardner draws roars
Of laughter, even when he is shooting
down Indians as an ordinary hunter
would q covey Of birds. The work of all
the company is as good as could be OK
pected, and shows faithful rehearsing.
Some Of the scenery has a good perspec-
tive, and Mount Rainier in the distance
helps the locale. The interior of the via
wan might be made more realistic. The
play will be repeated tonight, tomorrow
night and Sunday night, and at the Sat
urday matinee the Two orphans" viii be
given.
Manager Russell is having a handsome
asbestos curtain painted for the stag. II

A ROOSEVELT SUNDAY
The High Mark at Which the
W. c. I. [. Is Aiming.
MAYOR PHELPS WILL NOT HELP.
Delegation Asks Him TO stop Sunday
Selling of Everything He Refers
Them 10 the sheriff.

The Women's Christian Temperance
Union is pushing with vigor movement
TO tablish the Roosevelt Sunday in Sc
attic. Its work is being done quietly, and
not much is being said concerning il, but
those who are interested in ii are SEEM
inSly very much in earnest. The Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union has
aiding II most. IL not ALL the ministers of
the city. and others who are firm in the
belief that the Sunday saloon is an evil
that should be crushed.
A committee. composed NJ Rev. w RI.
G.. Temple and Mrs. Lee. the president OF
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union. called on the police commission
Wednesday. and urged that the state law
which provides that every store, shop and
place of business of every description.
with the exception of drug stores, livery
stables and hotels shall be closed, be en-
forced by the police commission.
Mayor Phelps, chairman of the commits
sion. talked TO the committee very frank
W. and what he said was as frankly re-
ceived by it. He said that in the first
place he did not believe it fell within the
commissions powers TO enforce the state
law; that the proper officers for this pur-
pose were the prosecuting attorney and
the sheriff. He also said that he did not
believe the great majority of the people
OF the city would favor such a move. The
people, he thought, were almost unani-
mously in favor of a decent. respectable
Sabbath. and II was the commissions
duty TO carry out the will of the people.
Public sentiment had called for the sup
preston of gambling. and it had been
suppressed. The low dives had been closed.
But he was emphatically of the opinion
that If such a law should be rigidly en-
forced the people of the city would rise up
in strong objection.
The commission proposed 10 see that or
der and decency is preserved on Sunday.
as we'll on other days. The mayor said
he believed the society was entirely in
earnest in its work and was doing what
it thought TO be best for the interests of
the city. but that he did not think the
members of the society were quite so much
in touch with public sentiment on this
question as he was.
The commission and the committee end
ed the discussion in the best of feeling,
and Rev. ". II. G.. Temple took occasion
TO say that during the three months he
had been here he had seen quieter Sun
days and better order than there was in
Boston. and he congratulated the commits
sion on that fact.
The next meeting in regard to the Sun
day closing movement will be held at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms next Satur-
day afternoon, and some plan will prob
ably then be decided upon.

Probably half the crews of the revenue

The last congress made a change IN the
law providing that no man shall he en-

afternoon for attempting to swipe

He is a river man, and while mean

was 1910. Officer Miller ran across
Mccarthy and arrested him. When
he sobered up he thanked the police
for arresting him-or otherwise he
might have been touched" He
paid 80 and costs with a smile.
Willis Hopper. Of Coal Valley. was
fined $45 and costs by Squire Sny-

Of the fine and gave security for the
balance. His brother, Joseph, was
fined IS and costs on q similar
charge, and in default Of payment he
was sent to Jail. While on his way
to Jail he assaulted Gene Marquette,

taken back to the justice office. He
was then put under a 5000 peace
bond, which he could not furnish,
and was therefore sentenced to six
months in the county Jail.
