The prevalence of a succession OF
southerly and westerly gales has not
only intensified fears for the safety OF
the missing Suathnevis of the North
Pacific line but much uneasiness is now
felt here for the British steamer Danube
which left Victoria two weeks ago to
search for the disabled steamship. Dur
ing the period the weather has been in

ADJUSTMENTS.
"a FATTED GALE"

"a FATTED CALF"
The Squire Perley Of Mr.. Herman
HirShberg, who assumes that charac-
ter. having created the part, in the trial
production of VIM. ellis masterpiece
A Fatted Calf last spring, deserves
special mention. having received the
most fattering comments in the News
journals of the country. Mr.. Hirsh-
berg's is one Of our popular American
actors, being connected with one OF
FrOhman's companies for number OF
years. He was after considerable trou-
BILE persuaded to accept the part Of
Squire Perley, and the great success
of a Fatted Calf is in a measure due
to the careful attention shown by Mr..
Hirshberg and assisted by such an eX-
cellent company. No doubt the Opera
House will be crowded to the utmost ca
pacity this afternoon and night, judg-
ing from the already large advance
sale. and more fitting attraction could
not have been secured for the holidays.
1t would be we'll to secure your seats
early to-day. so as to avoid the crowd,
which is sure TO turn out TO witness
this popular success.
ATEXAS STEER.
Tim Murphy who sustains the part
of Maverick Brauder in Chas. H. Hoyt S
merry farce comedy entitled "A Texas
Steer" which viii hold the boards at
the Opera House Saturday matinee and
night is a very clever comedian, de-
pending upon his native ability rather
than make up" and horse play. The
supporting company this year includes
many who were in the cast when the
pice was produced here last season.
The piece is a satire on politics and So
ciety in Washington, and has more OF
a plot than perhaps any other OF Hoyt S
productions. That the Opera House
will be crowded at both performances
goes almost without saying.
KILLARNEY COMING.
An attraction of unusual merit is an
nounced for the Grand Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday nights, when 'Killar-
ney." beautiful story of Irish love and
devotion. will be given by a combination
that has created a decided furore in all
the principle cities in the United States.
Unlike many companies that claim eX~
cellence in only a few particulars, this
organization has everything to COM
mend it to people who like to see a
drama mounted in a gorgeous manner
with all the effects elaborated, and with
a good company to interpret the differs
ent parts. The sweet colleen, Virginia
johnson assumes the role OF kltue
Burke in a most charming manner.
