Although the gifted dramatic orsaniza-
ton known as the Smith-Lieb company
made the last appearance of their regular
engagement at Cordray's theater last
nigat. they viii appear tonight in the grand
benefit for Miss Lieh, the star OF the COM
pany. For several years Miss Beatrice
Lieb has been remembered by the patrons
OF Cordray's theater as a clever actress.
The bill this evening will be the evsr-popu-
lar East Lynne in which as Lady Isabel,
afterwards Nine. Vine. Miss Lieb has won
most complimentary criticisms all over the
United States. 1t is hard to say in which
phase of that most trying role she is best;
she is a light-hearted, happy bride: then
jealous woman: then an outcast, deserted
by her betrayer: then a broken-hearted
mother. The deathbed of her little child
and her own death are so realistic as 10
bring tears 10 even the most callous thea
ter goers. Miss Lieb certainly deserves the
recognition of her talent thai fun house
would show. and it is 10 be hoped that she
will receive il.
Another feature of the benefit is that W.
NJ Russell, the weli-known manager CT
Cordray's theater, has consented TO play
the role of Sir Francis Leyison.

OF his mother and sister. who are still Iiv-

fresh upon his mind and the sgonlzed mes
sage Of his mother burning in his heart, he
sends the following communication to the
Post-Intelligencer
The women are all In mourning for the
nations afTiiction, and ! can now imagine
the MORNINGS OF the Jews during the time
OF Easter. In the churches and in the
houses deadly silence relgns as al fliuer-
at Our hearts are in sore grief for them,
and we know not what 10 do. The Turkish
government Is sending many Armenians
into the interior Ike sheep 10 the slaugh-
ter. My God, my God, send help TO US. for
there Is no help In any human power at
present.
II beg to express my sincere gratitude 10
Americans. We Armenians born in Tur-
key, under the yoke and heirs to persecu-
ton, who are now enjoying the pure, sweet
air Of American liberty, can feel what this
liberty means. God made men and gave
them this world, with full rights TO live in
and enjoy, and He did not make men TO cut
down one another.
Since | wrote 10 you last. my mother
says there Is TO change In their condition

face. There is no hope, no light, and the
future is dark. Whatever the Turks ask
must be given them. My God. have mercy
on my poor. dear nation and my dear
mother. Oh. Lord. we cry unto Thee for

sousa,s Band Coming.

Two popular concerts Will be given at
the Seattle theater Thursday of next
week, February Is, by this famous band.
1t is unnecessary TO speak at length Of the
playing of this splendid band or of the
abilities of it's conductor. Sousa gets from
his forces a delicacy of shading, express
sion and precision which other brass bands
fail to achieve. and he infuses the music
with a personal charm of his own which
accounts for much of its hold on the pub
lie. The band, under Sousa's baton, can
play the higher grades of music with
breadth and power, while popular airs
are given in really inimitable style. The
programmes chosen for the concerts are
superior for their variety of selections.
Several new pieces. some of which are of
Sousa's own composition. are included.
Myrta French. soprano, and Currie Duke,
violinist are the soloists.

THIS MAN HAS BEEN WRONGED:
: By THE RAILROADS. :

When the road was built it suited the
convenience Of the company. accord
ing to a local correspondent. to lay the
track within ten feet of the corner of
Farmer Stoddard's house. The con
struction gang piowed through his
barryard. removed his hen house and
cut a wide sWath through a fine young
orchard which was the pride Of Farm
er %Stoddard's heart. The agriculturist
fixed his damages at a high figure; so
high, in fact, that the company COM
PEELED him to 90 into court and take
what he regarded a ridiculous sum.
1t was not long until the trains were
running. When the first excursion
steamed out of Atchison the passen-
gers. when the train reached Farmer
S%tOddard's place, observed the sign in
bold, black letters, with a background
as white as snow. Stoddard had paint
ed the sign himself, and, while it was
not executed in the highest style of the
art, it could be distinctly read.
Farmer Stoddard has raised a large
family of boys and he has taught them
to hate corporations. Not less than q
half dozen dogs Of doubtful breed can
always be found on the Stoddaru place.
The dogs, too, are taught to hate the
railroad, and when a train passes the
entire pack run ouI and banks at it.
The old farmer feels that he is in "A
measure getting even. Brakemcn on
freight trains have great sport throw
ing pieces of coal at the dogs as the
train passes. Stoddard figures that he
gathers up almost enough coal around
his premises to keep one stove running

Their Turn 70 Rum.

A bear hunt which terminated in a
manner at once disappointing and sur

trip.
Several days were spent in trout fish
Ing. Then n of the men expressed q
strong desire for a days shooting, for
large game. They set out the next
morning bright and early, and after
hours Of fruitless tramping, were about
returning to camp, when suddenly they
saw straight before them a brown bear
sitting on his launches under a blue
berry bush, and gorging himself with
the berries.
Both hunters fred, and the bear, with
an ugly growl, disappeared. The men
FASTENED after him, but were unable
to overtake him. For half an hour or
more they followed the trail. Then all
at once they came to a clearing. In
the clearing was a cabin, and on the
porch of the cabin sat the brown bear
with one of it's forelegs in q sling.
The hunters were greatly taken
aback, as may we'll be supposed, but
were still more surprised when they
saw a man fastening toward them with
a gun. They turned and ran, the man
after them. They got away in safety.
and learned afterward that the bear
was a family pet, the owner Of which
was naturally angry at finding it i'll
