Calamities Threatened and at Hand.


Foor and Henry Gilman are the lat

having surrendered their positions.

The checks which have been issued
the men on the D. G. Company at
Huntington have all been paid as far
learned.
The Gossi check, the refusal to
pay which was mentioned last week,
was redeemed on the arrival of An

do say. the manage" turned around
and borrowed cold $25 from Gossi
to go to Salt Lake on At any rate
MIR. Andrews has departed, it is said
for New York.
The secret of the refusal to pay
the Gossi check last week is said to
be that after the ties for the Peacock
tram had all been gotten out by Cos
81 and Wheeler, the experienced in
dividuals who bid fair to make a to-
tai failure of the whole enterprise
had decided that they did not want to
put the tram on top the hill after all,
but that it would he finer thing to
put it at the jumpoff on the Snake
river end of the grade, so, as
they no longer wanted the ties at the
place where they were ordered cut,
they did not feel like paying for
them, and after the check to Wheel
er & Gossi had been issued, tue ia
nous caves slid out the back door
and lit out for Huntington to stop

Weiser he wrote on the check an or
der for its payment regardless of
other instructions, so it was told us.
The trouble is, there are too many
cooks and the broth is spoiled. The
spectacle of so many "heads" all

FAMILY JAR IN
THE GRBEUROOM
Miss Gladys Wallis and
Manager Frawley Part
Company.
The Actress Gives a Spicy
Version Of Her Side of
the Trouble.

Miss Gladys Wallis and T. J. Frawley,
the theatrical manager, have parted.
Frawley says he has dismissed his
charming young soubrette on the plain
charge of insu bordinat and neglect of
duty. Miss Wallis on the other hand de
clares that she was simply squeezed out +
the Columbia combination because she
refused to put up with the insults heaped
upon her by her employer. Altogether
the circumstance ha. given rise to much
gossip in the greenroom.
For some time pas: it has been an open
secret that Frawley and Miss Wallis were
not on the best of terms, though they con-
tlnued to appear together in many roles
on the stage. During the recent tour of
the Frawley Company to the Northwest
there were signs of an open rupture.
Upon the return of the players on Sunday
last Miss Wallis received q "two weeks 3"
notice that her services were no longer re-
quired, which she handed to her attorney,
Henry l. Kowalsky, for advice.
As the young actress was drawing $110
a week, with contract expiring next
May, Kowalsky promptly advised her to
pay no attention to the Communication.
When MISS w Wallls turned up for rehearsal
the following morning the stage manager
ordered her to give up her part, and thus
the long-expected breach had developed
at last.
FrawIey says the young woman was a
mischief breeder and refused to obey or
ders, was frequently late at rehearsals. and
in justice to the welfare of the company
be was obliged to discharge her. More
over he iniimates that success had affected
Miss Wallis to such an extent as to en-
large her ideas OF herself to an unmanage-
able extent to put it mildly.

tlons In an unmistakable manner. BE

the line, was very iully and ably discussed in

The briefs called the courts attention to the

County Clerk o distribute the clerical force

most when it is clean-toned and in SINH

As matter of history let me write the
names of Signor Giuseppe Agostine and
Signor Victorio Girardi. Agostine is the
Italian tenor who sang the part OF EMO.
and Girardi is the basso who sang the
part of the vengeful husband.
Each has his faults, but both sang a

Money and Diplomacy Being Used to
Open the Gates for Another

The recent outbreak of the high binder
tion 10 the condition prevailing in that
section of the city. 1t has shown that
there is a constant menace to society, n OF
only in the matter of violation of petty
ordinances, but that the lives and welfare
OF citizens are endangered while property
interests are ieopardized through possi-
biIity of extensive fires being started in
the savage desire for revenge that seems
to animate the breasts of those partici-
pating in the troubles among the Mon.
golians.
The extra details of police officers neces.
sary TO preserve the peace among the
Chinese factions have so far prevented
any violent out break, but every officer on
duty in that quarter feels as if he were
walking on - smoldering volcano.
On the surface the present trou BILE is
nothing more than one of the ordinary
factional fights that have disturbed China
town for years. Apparently it grows out
of the question whether certain pig
butchers and pork sellers shall contin ue
to do business or not. In other words the
Chinese are inGustriously promulgating
the idea among the whites that boycott
has been declared by one of the tongs
against tho m em bers OF another society
But the Chinaman is no fool. He plays
his cards well, whether it be in the game
of chance or the game Of life. In this in
stance he is playing for life and his first
trick is to fool the whites. The old
troubles between the See Yups and the
Sam Yups always make good excuse for
excitement and also make a good blind
for diplomatic purposes. AS soon as the
present outbreak was announced there
were several Cinnamon in San Francisco
who knew that something was behind the
blind and they at once set about finding
out what it all meant.
From these sources it has been learned
that all the energies of the Chin ese EN- pire
have been for some time directed toward
breaking down the barriers that have been
thrown around Mongolian immigration.
All the diplomacy of the best statesmen
and all the craft of Chinese leaders have
been centered on the one point of getting

delightful to hear last night and deserves
no small glory.
Girardi, who shared with Agostine the
distinction of singing evenly and in
tune, would attract no attention under
ordinary circumstances. His basso is
very feathery, and he realized few of the
immense histrionic opportunities that lie
in the part of Advise Badoero.
