to float the ship to-day at high water, but
the tug Tyee, the most powerful of the
Puget sound tugboat fleet, failed to move
her. Four more powerful tugs will pull

when it is thought she will be pulled into

$1,000, 900 and $1,000, 900 to the wealth
of the world this year. The Standard
mine is perhaps the most remarkable in all
of the producers of that section. When
the present owners gained control of the
property it was an old location, aud had
lain idle for long time. An immense
amount of money was expended, and 5000
feet of tunnel, shafts and levels were run
before striking ore, and for three years the
shareholders were regularly assessed.
When the body of ore was encountered, it
commenced to pay, and pay big. With

in monthly dividends of $4,000 each,
with one or two exceptions. The company
is capitalized for $5oo,ooo. The ore con-

Miss stella Dlackman vindicated.

The family and friends of Miss Stella
Blackman were covered with cloud
OF solicitnde and gloom by the an
nouncement in the Chicago papers that
she had been arrested in one of the big
stores of that city. Not one of her
friends who really know her-knew her
bringing up, her family antecedents,
her high character for truthfulness,
probitv and goodness-but firmly be-
lieved in her innocence and that the
case would be found to be susceptible
OF an explanation which would event
ually dispel every suspicion of guilt in
the public mind created by the account
given in the Chicago papers. Even
those only casually acquainted with
Stella who have met her since this dis
tressing event believe as thoroughly in
her innocence as do her relatives and
near friends. Miss Blackman deter
minedlY declared to the court that she
was innocent Of the crime with which
she was charged and that she would
rather die in Jail than plead guilty to a
crime she had not committed. BY the
advice of the justice and the concurring
advice of the hospital authorities who
were present with her in court she re-
luetantly consented to plead guilty to
charge Of disOrderly conduct, a mis-
demeanOr of which she was as innocent
as she was of the charge of THEFT. Miss
B1ackman stands up. under this severe
trial with surprising courage and forti-
tude-a courage and fOrtitude that can
only come from consciousness of her
complete Innocence and her full faith
in what the future will bring her. 1t is
unfortunate that she plead guilty to an
imagined misdemeanor. She ought to
have demanded continuance until
her friends conld have rallied to her
protection and a trial would have re-
suited in her acqnittal.

A FINE ENTERTAINMENT.
The Boston Stars Prove veritable Stars
Indeed


Indeed.
If the entertainment given by the
Boston Stars at the high school audi
forum Monday evening is any criter-
ion to go by the public may expect
some extra good things before the
course is over with. 1t was very
unfortunate that there were but about
800 people present to hear the music
Monday evening. Considering The
very worthy object Of the course OF
entertainments there should have been
twice or three times the number out.
The program started off with piano
solo by Miss Bertha Brewer. Miss
Brewer was down on the program as q
reader, but this opening performance
showed that she was pianist OF no
mean ability The second number
was F." Humorous Hum0rosities" by
Frank G.. Reynolds. This was an
assorted lot of whimsical musical
oddities which were amusing in the
extreme.
Miss Mabelle Hill followed with two
soprano solos. Both were eXcellently
rendered. Miss Brewer in recital of
" The First Quarrel" by Tennyson,
was also excellent.
Miss Rose Garritz in a violin solo,
" Fantasia on Faust arranged by
Sarasati, and the duet The Singing
Lesson by Miss hill and Mr.. Reynolds,
called forth the usual applause.
The next number, Mr.. Traver's
First Hunt" a recitation by Miss
Brewer, brought down the house in
excellent shape.
A soprano solo with violin obligato
by Misses Hill and Garritz, was well
received, while " Character Sketches"
by Mr.. Reynolds, made another hit.
This was followed by violin solo,
" Mazourka,'' by Musin, played by
Miss Garritz and then came the " Must
cal PartyD by Mr.. Reynolds This
was indeed cap shief to the whole
entertainment. Mr.. Reynolds said he
had not brought the quartet with him,
but he would try to tell the audience
what it did. Then he took each part
of the quartet himself and sang to the
infinite delight of the audience. APP
plause was literally bestowed on all
parts of the program, but the last
number sent everybody home thor
oughly happy and hilarious.
