At THE CITY THEATERS,
James O'Neill Reappears in
Monte Cristo' at the !.
Baldwin Theater.
Miss LiSle Leigh, Late of Boston, to Be
the Leading Lady at the
Opera House.

James O'Neill and his company opened
their season at the Baldwin Theater last
night in Monte Cristo." It is two years
since the actor last appeared here before
in the role with which his name is so thor
oughly identified, and he now comes back
with an almost completely different COM
pany.
The fact that this is Holy Week was
largely responsible for the fact that the
audience might have been larger. The
house was fairly good one, however, and
it was not grudging with its applause. As
the Count OF Monte Cristo O'NeiiI made
his usual success. He was dashing, he
roic, astute and revengeful as of yore, and
carried most of the burden of the play on
his own shoulders, as be always has done.
The supporting company contains two
or three good actors. Monte Cristo' does
not contain female role that gives an
actress much opportunity of ingratiating
herself with The audience. AS Mercedes,
Miss Florence Rockwell certainly acted as
naturally as the part allowed, but she did
not succeed IN conveying a very strong
impression OF the unhappy Countess per-
sonallty. Mile. Danglars was played by
Miss Josephine Foy, and Miss Marie Floyd
took the part OF the fisherwoman.
Hallett Thompson was versatile and
interesting as Nortier, and William III.
Pascoe gave manly, sincere interpreta
ton to the part of Albert de Morcerf.
Albert Sackett and William H. Dixon
were good as Villefort and Caderouse re-
spectively, and Herbert Fortier was duly
villainous as Fernando. Count de Morcerf.
The rest of the cast was satisfactory, and
the staging, particularly that of the
storm and OF the conservatory scenes, was
good.
Tonight an elaborate production OF
. s'Virginius" will be given.

DISCUSSED HISTORY.

Pastors Clubs Study Morals In Lessons
of the Past = Denominations
Represented.
A paper entitled "a Pagan King, Brief
Study in Church History" was read yes
terday before the Congregational Monday
Clue by Rev. E. Lyman Hood of Berkeley.
Julian the Apostate was the ruler. whose
influence on church history was described
in scholarly manner by the speaker.
Rev. A. j. Melchonian, MD, pastor Of
the Armenian congregation at Fresno,
made plea for permission to address the
various churches on behalf of the fund to
aid the starving Christians in Armenia.
Mr.. Melchonian is lecturing and speaking
to stir up interest in the fund, and he has
already met with considerable success in
the southern part of the State. He said
that in acknowledging the money sent the
distributors of the fund stated that for $5
3oOO starving men, women and children
had been fed for twenty-four hours.
"Unless helping hand be stretched out
to Armenia these people will starve," said
the Armenian pastor.

OF SPOKANE.
Editor w. n. Cow1es on the Changes
Made by the Gold Mines and Rise
in Wheat.


William II. Cowles editor and principal
owner of the Spokane Spokesman-Revi
the big morning paper of Eastern Wash
ington, and which circulates largely. in
Idaho, Montana and British Columbia. is
at the Palace.
Spokane being situated near the State and
provincial boundaries, and being far from
any city of similar i'm portance, it's paper
furnishes the news for a very large region.
Mr.. Cowles was the founder of the SpoKes-
man and was an owner in the Review
Spokesman. Afterward he obtained con-
troll of the property and changed the name
to the Spokesman Review.
Mr.. Cowles says Spokane is recovering
slowly and steadily from the depression
which occurred in 1893. 1t is now he saws
the most active town in the Northwest.
The Trail Greek gold mines have helped
the city great deal. and now the Bound
ary Creek mines, also of gold, promise to
help the city still more.
Editor Cowles tells that good many
men at Spokane who invested in Trail
Creek have made money. If it had not
been for the Trail Greek gold and the ad-
vance in wheat times would have been very
dull indeed this year. Wheat went up
from % and % cents bushel to 45 and ~
cents, as it is now. As enormous quanti-
ties are raised in the Palouse and con-
t1suous counties, the advance meant a
great deal for Spokane.
s.We have not anything in the nature of
a boom,'' said Mr.. Cowles. 81 would not
have that understood, but the situation is
SO much better than it was that everybody
is encouraged. There was time when
there was absolutely nothing doing and
money was so hard that the people
thought almost that they had got to the
end of the world. / think in a year or two
from now we will all be in very good con-
dition.''
Mr.. Cowles has been on q visit to South
ern California. He is accompanied by
Mrs. Cowles.

drama was played here before, the only.
important change being that the role OF
Hans Otto, the opium ieud, was played
by Ben johnson, instead of by Lyons.
Johnson gave a realistic and carefully
studied picture Oft the unhappy Hans Otto
struggles and sufferings from the hateful
drug; in fact his Interpretation was natural
enough at times to seem reality and he
won some of the warmest applause OF the
evening. Lucius, Henderson played the
pianoforte with his usual skill, Edwin
Milton Royle was as drily humorous and
natural in his acting as before and Selma
FetteY Royle and Gretchen Lyons were
charming in their respective parts.
'sFriends" will run for the rest of the week.
Among those present in the audience last
night were Mayor Pratt of Minneapolis and
about thirty visitors from the same city.

At the Alcazar.

Within brief space of time drama will re-
sumo sway at the Aicazar. The continuous
show performances, while excellent in their
way and fairly successful, have not come up to
the expectation of the management. A fine
stock company is being organized and some
fine plays will be presented.
This weeks show is bright and varied.
The opening piece is dramatic SKETCH in two
short acts, 1.-THE Homestead" in which Leon
ard Grover. Fanny Young, Gordon Foster and
several other footlight favorities say their
bret say so well that one would wish the COM
position were of longer duration.
Miss Josephine Gassman, Miss Victoria Black
and William Duvall contribute some lyric
gems, while Messrs. Lorraine and Howells, in
their famous trayesty act, introducing the
gifted dogs, Grip and 10, scored q great hit.
There is also farce, "My Wife's Husbands"
the programme ending with a series of
views, representing scenes
in the Brown trial. The portraits of
the Rev. DR.. Brown, Miss Overman,
Mrs. Davidson, Mrs. Stockton and Mrs. Tunnel
are very lifelike, while views are also given of
the residences of DR.. Brown and Mrs. Sarah B.
Cooper. The pictures are explained by Mr.
Foster, who accompanies the exhibition by a
brief lecture, giving a synopsis of the famous
church trial and the events leading up to it.

AN AWFUL DEED.

Family Troubles Cause the Murder of Q
 Whole Family at San Jose, Cal.
 SAN JOSE, Cal, May 2S-About mid. night last night neighbor named Page heard the report of shots in the direction of the home of Col. R. P. Nc. Glincy, one of California's commis. sioners of the worlds fair, and almost immediately thereafter there came the sound of galloping hoofs on the county road. Hurriedly dress ing, Page ran to the house and found the body of McGlincy lying in an outhouse in pool of blood. Entering the house he found the bodies of James We'll, son of Mrs. McGlincy by former marriage, who had been shot, and Mrs. McGlincy and her daughter, Mrs. James Durham, who had been stabbed to death by the assassin, and the hired man, James Briscoe, and the servant, Minnie Schesler, who had been hacked to death with hatchet. The rooms where the bodies lay were be- spattered with blood and there was every evidence to show that the dead had made desperate struggle for their lives. James Durham, husband of one of the victims and son.in.law of the McGlincys, was undoubtedly the murderer. When last seen he was rid- ing rapidly away on horse back.

Awful Accident to a Loaded Tram Car at

Awful Accident to a Loaded Tram Car at
 Victoria, B. (.
 VICTORIA. B. C., May a7.-The Point Ellice bridge over Victoria arm col. lapsed yesterday afternoon precipitat- ing a tram car heavily loaded with human freight into the water 100 feet below. All the passengers in the car, probably 50, were drowned. A sham fight and review was to take place at Macauley Point, near Esquimalt, in the afternoon and crowds were making their way by every route. All the tram cars were packed. Two cars left Government street with more than 100 people. The. first get over Point Ellice bridge, which crosses Victoria arm, safely, but when the other was about half way over the middle span of the bridge, about l5O feet in length, gave way and the car plunged into the water some 100 feet below. The car was completely submerged and all on board were drowned, with the excep. tion of some of those who were stand. ing on the platforms, and who, escap- ing injury from the falling timbers, managed to save themselves by using the floating ruins of the bridge and thus got ashore. Numbers of the bodies have already been recovered, and the work of identification is pro. ceeding, but it is a difficult matter as a great many of the bodies are those of visitors.

 PITTSBURGH, Pa. June l.-Car No 50, of the Second avenue traction line, jumped the track yesterday afternoo and the F passengers on board were all more or less hurt, two of them seri. ously. The car with it's load left Thir- ty-Fonrth street at about three o'clock for Calhoun park, where concert was to be given. On approaching Six Mile ferry the speed being made was that of railroad train. Suddenly the car took flying leap and, after turning completely over, landed at the bottom of the ditch, 12 feet below, with the wheels in the air. The struggling pas. sengers, damned in heap under the wreckage, were screaming and fight ing for release. They were finally ex. tricated and taken to their homes. some more scared than hurt, but all bruised and worse for their shaking. up. The car is complete wreck.

The Cyclone Victims In Michigan Number
 A, and There May Be Others.
 DETROIT, Mich, May 27.-Full re-. ports. of the cyclone which swept over Michigan have not yet been received. First reports of the disaster were over drawn, but A persons are known to have been killed and nearly as many more have received injuries which may prove fatal. From reports that con- tinue to come in from adjacent points the full force of the fierce wind that swept Oakland county is beginning to be appreciated. Every where is devas- tation. Villages that were Monday the homes of contented citizens are to. day desolate sites, and maimed and bruised fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters mourn for those who met death in the twisting, grinding, resistless wind.
 The death roll in the vicinity of Ox- ford may run up to the hundred mark, for many homes that were on the edge of the cyclone suffered from it's fury. At Oakwood, a hamlet a few miles from Oxford, having population of about 200, not a house is left standing. The path of the storm was between half and three-fourths of 2 mile wide, and it extended in nearly straight course eastward for distance of over 30 miles. A remarkable circumstance is that the buildings in close proximity to each other were blown in opposite directions, some being swept north westward and others southward.

Cleveland May Add to the Nations In-
 debtedness Before He Quits.
 Itisnot unlikely that Grover Cleveland will bid his country an affectionate good-by as president by another bond issue. The outward movement of gold is causing some uneasiness. The gold reserve has been falling steadily and it is estimated that by the 1st of July, the commencement of the new fiscal year, it will be at least S13 ,OOO, ,OOO below the $10O,000,000 mark. Under the most favorable circumstances a betterment can hardly be looked for before next fall. That the president would have the courage to sell more bonds, if in his judgment they are required, no one need doubt. Up to date $262, ,5OO,OO in bonds have been sold-S300, ,OOO ,O00 might look we'll in Wall street. If the administration should decide to pay up all debts, all payments staved off and expenditures deferred, before going out of office, leaving clear field for the republican administration sure to suc- ceed, at least another $100, ,OOO, ,OOO would u1'o so oS ooiio"eu' py SeillHS DouuS. The political effect of another bond is- sue during the present campaign would be bad. It would give the populists and other infationists and depreciationists renewed courage and would greatly aug. ment their following and whatever augments that following is dangerous to the peace and prosperity of the coun- try. Under the circumstances, especial ly, it is to be hoped that the necessity of another bond issue may be averted.- Iowa State Register.
