bestowed upon nef ali over the cOuH-
try. 1t will be seen at the Grand the
first half Of next week.
"For Fair Virginia" one of the most
successful and thoroughly meritorious
of American plays, will be seen at the
Opera House Wednesday, December
18th, with the author, Mr.. Russ Why
tai, and his attractive wife, in the
principal parts. The story OF the play
is domestic with a story background OF
the civil war, but it is not melo-dra-
ma, and the comedy is so important
that it is in one Of these characters
that Mr.. Whytal appears. The emo
tional work is in the hands OF such
we'll known people as Viola Fostescue,
E. F. Maggie, Joseph Zalmer and John
H. Burnett, while that remarkably
gifted child actress, Mabel Taliaferro,
is a conspicuous figure. A complete
scenic effect is carried.
The battle scene in the third act OF
"The Girl Left Behind Me is one or
the most artistic stage representations
ever made of the thrillingness OF war,
without any suggestion Of its carnage
or a single glimpse of any OF the men
who do the fighting, if the appearance
of the hero at the end of the act to
announce the victory to the saved gar
rison be accepted. The Americanness
of the play and the fidelity OF Its pic
lures of military life are QUALITIES
upon which its popularity solldiy
rests. This will be the Opera House
attraction Saturday matinee and night.
That furiously funny farce comedy,
"McFadden's Row of Flats" the great
est of Gus Hills theatrical successes,
opene0 a half weeks engagement at
tie Grand Opera House last night to
standing room only" The scenes are
laid in New York city, and much OF the
merriment is produced by funny Dutch
and Irish comedians. The company is
large, including about ten young ladies'
and a number of very clever comedians
and speciality artists. Among the vau-
deville features are the boxing bout by
the midgets, who have appeared IN
Wheeling before, and the clever lnstru-
mental work of the Four Emperors OF
Music The audience last night was
alternately laughing and applauding.
and there was not a dull moment, I'M
less it was while the curtain was down
between acts. "McFadden's Flats" will
be exhibited again tonight and the en-
gagement will close with two perform
ances tomorrow.

Cousin Frank" one of the three
little plays to be produced by Miss
Hennig and amateur talent at the
Opera House this evening, is laugha
Bile farce in two scenes. The story is
as follows: Three young sisters are
compelled to spend the summer in a
quiet country place. They are terribly
bored by the monOtony of the place,
until receiving a note from young
matrOn of the village, in which she
states that her cousin, Frank Hartley,
is visiting her, and as she understands
how they are dying from ennui, she
will bring her cousin and call upon
them this afternoon. Of course, the
girls are delighted with the idea and
each maiden resolves to capture
Cousin Frank" They accordingly
dress for the first time in three months
with that delicious object, man, in
view. Cousin Frank arrives and proves
to be a maiden They make up their
minds, however, to laugh at the joke,
and finally in a cup of tea, each drinks
to the health of Cousin Frank"
The part of Hans Schneiderkopf in
Katie Emmett's play, THE Waits of
New York is said to be the strongest
and most amusing character ever seen
upon the stage; and Harry West, who
assumes it, is credited with being one
of the best. German dialect comedians
in the profession. In fact, Miss Ell
nett believes in surrounding herself
with the very best people, and each
part in her we'll known play is enacted
by an artist that is especially adapted
to the character. 1t is claimed for
1.-The Waits of New York" that it is
the original OF all plays dealing with
life in the great metropolis as shown
in the Bowery, Five Points and other
localities known as the darker side
of New York. Of Miss Emmett's own
impersonation of Willie Rufus, the
newsboy. little more can be added TO
the great amount Of praise she has had

STORY OF HELEN KELLAR.

The lecture given last night at the
Second Presbyterian Church was well
attended. The lecture was by Prof. II.
G. Williams, superintendent OF the pub
lis schools, on THE Story OF Helen
Kellar." and was delivered in the ever
pleasing style of conciseness and forci-
bility. The lecture has been delivered
in several large cities in Ohio, and
everywhere met with favor. The story
is of an Alabama girl who was rescued
from blindness, deafness and speech
lessness so that she now has a better
comprehension of the world than many
a person of her age with all their facul-
ties.

PrOspoctOrS InoensOd over the Action
of Canada in Collecting Duties at
Victoria or Dyoa--Klondyks Reports

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. .. The
steamship companies have ordered
their agents not to sell tickets to gold
seekers who shall not be we'll supplied
with provisions or who shall be phys
ically weak. Much disappointment has
resulted, and the question is raised
whether the companies can decide
whom they will or will not transport.
Every available steamer on the
North Pacific coast has been pressed
into use to supply the great de-
mand for Northern passage. The
Eliza Anderson, abandoned years ago,
is to make at least one trip 70 the Yu-
kon. Her hull is said to be petri6ed
and she is certainly not safe, but that
makes little difference to the enthusi-
asts. The big collier Willamette has
thrown up valuable coal contract to
go North Among others to make the
trip are the collier Bristol, the freighter
Rapid Transit and the old mail packet
George j. Starr. The sunken Monte
Cristo has been raised from Skagit
river and will carry passengers from
St. Michacl's to Dawson. A number
of other hardly seaworthy vessels will
soon be in use, and it will be surpris-
ing if no disaster shall result
Prospective gold seekers in the North
are ineensed over the action of the
Canadian government in collecting
duty at Victoria or Dyea on every
miners outfit from the United States.
Mass meetings have been called by the
merchants and outfitters of this place
and Seattle to outline plans for re-
taliatory action. The idea is that this
action of the Victoria collector is not
taken in the interests of collecting
revenue, but to try to compel parties
to buy their outfits in Victoria. The
secretary of the treasury will be re-
1uested to withdraw his order making
Dyea a SUPPORT of entry
PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 2.-The Ore
gou Railway and Navigation com
pany's steamer, George w. Elder,
sailed for Dyea, Alaska, at II o'clock
last night with 3S3 passengers, nearly
all of whom are bound for the Klon-
dyke, 1900 tons of freight, 1870 horses
and burros and seventy-five dogs. All
day long hundreds of people congre-
gated in the vicinity of Ainsworth
dock, where the Elder was moored,
and at o'clock 1t was estimated that
10000 people were upon the river
bank or upon the bridges to cheer the
gold hunters.
New YORK, Aug. 1.-The United
States Alaska Gold company, with an
authorized capital of $1,000, 900, was
incorporated at Trenton, N. J. 1t was
formed for the purpose of mining

MAsHING A TINE ARr.

"Ever since spinning was a type Of
wOmanly industry from age to age, it has
been expected that beautiful apparel should
elothe women. From the classic robes Of
Aspasia to the rich dresses Of Elizabeth,
and thence to the wedding gown of Par.
titan Priscilla we see the attraetiveness Of
dress" But at this time only has it be-
come possible for all women to be becom-
ingly attired at small cost, the supply OF
beautiful inexpensive dress fabrics now to
be had, making it an easy matter. Yet
there are women who insist that the ex-
pense of having summer gowns Numbered
is greater than the original cost, and that
in the end light woolens or summer silks
are more economical. This is a mistaken
idea, as washing pretty belongings is fine
art, which is very easy to learn. Any girl
no matter how delicately reared can wash
her own summer gowns. A bright day,
plenty of water, and a little pure soap are
the necessary aids in the work. To do it,
fill tub two-thirds full Of warm water,
dissolve fourth of cake of Ivory Soap,
(which will not fade the most delicate
colOrs), add it to the water, wash the gar
ments carefully through it, rinse first in
clear water, then in blue water, wiring,
dip in thin starch, hang on the line in tho
shade. When dry, sprinkle, and iron on
the wrong side. Eliza r. Parker.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug Last night
meeting of the Labor League was

and Organizer Miller of the miners,
and by Mrs. n G. Jones The gist of
of the miners officials speeches was
that money, and quite good sum,
must be Forthcoming at once If the
strike is to be continued. They made
forcible appeals to their fellow union
lists, and the result was the appoint
ment BY the league of committee to
present the matter to the different
organizations, with the end in view of
securing the necessary sinews of war
for the strikers.

GREAT BEND, Kan, Aug. .. -Yester-
day was one of the hottest days of the
season, with the mercury as high as
los and with burning winds blowing
from the south. 1t was very hard
day on corn, sorghum, broomcorn, and
in fact, all rough feed crops, and if
Barton county has any corn it will DO
because it was planted early, hence is
beyond the point where it will be bad
ly damaged. A few more days like
this will cut the hay crop very short,
but as the county is full of straw, this
will entail no particular hardship.
