unite two hearts as one. Tuesday
morning he united Alexander Hamil-
ton and Bessie NJ. Milne, both Of Ia
coma in the silken chains, the twain
having sought our Gretna Green for
that special purpose.

1t seems there is hitch in the ad-
justment of the loss OF Mr.. Labcree by
the late fire. The claim on the furni-
ture was promptly paid, but the loss
on the house remains in abeyance
while a certified statement OF the con-
ditlons OF the loss has been referred
to the German-American Insurance
Co, for Il final decision as to the
amount OF loss for which the COM
pany is elultably responsible.
Fred Carlyon says that he "made
more than cven," in his two months
sojourn at Skaguay, but that he left
because he saw that all sorts of bust
ness would be overdone. He declares
that he will make another attempt to
reach klondike in the spring, but it is
surmised that if that wave OF prosper
ity reaches this point before that time
he will remain in the local swim. He
does not report any of the Olympia
expeditions getting to the promised
land.
Geo. Z. Filley and wife have re-
turned from British Columbia, where
Mark" has been engaged in mining
operations. They will temporarily
reside in Seattle while Mr.. F. under
goes a course of treatment for one of
his eyes, which is afflicted in man.
ner to threaten partial loss of sight.
Soon as the treatment is over he will
return to this city and again identity
himself with the business of the Capt.
tai Pharmacy, says the court-journal,
little Oily.
c. L. Rockwell, of Chicago, visited
this city Tuesday, to make prepare
tions for the presentation of "Karni-
val de KOmmerce," or An Oriental
Fate" by local talent. They are both
of spectacular nature, and the for
mer is designed to represent the bust
ness enterprise of a community by
striking and impressive tableaux. He
has succeeded in making arrange
ments with the Ladies' Relief Society
for presentation of carnival de
Kommerce" which is designed to be-
come public-spirited city enterprise
in which our leading merchants have
joined for making a success. which
will be given at the Olympia Theater,
Oct. 1st and I'd.
Those who did not take in GA Trip
to Chinatown" Wednesday night,
along with Frank Lane and his charm
ing company of players, missed rare
opportunity for enjoyment. The
piece is one of the best and funniest OF
HOyt's productions, and the company
is made up of the best people in the
profession, from "the man with one
foot in the grave" to the gay widow
who chaperones the merry party, and
her maid, Flirt, who does the high
kicking for all. The performance is
interspersed with many catchy must
cal numbers uniting melody with
mirth in melange of never-to- be.for-
gotten comicalities. The audience
seemed to be in full sympathy with
the performers and this doubtless
called forth their best efforts.
The Fashion saloon now has gramo.
phone to entertain its quests. 1t works
on the same principle as the phono-
graph, but projects its record by means
of horn instead of running it through
a tube direct to the ear. The record in
stead OF being made on a cylinder of
wax is on a rubber disk about eight
inches in diameter, which revOlves on
a level plain while the stylus of the
diaphram passes lightly over the in
dentations made by the subject trans
scribed. The gramophone does not
speak with the clearness of Speaker
Reed, nor the charming accent of
James Hamilton Lewis, nor are the
songs rendered with the finish of a
Mojeska or the rich, rough, rolling
melody of Ben Cotton, but they
serve to remind one of the real thing,
just as the scent of the violet, or the
aroma of limburger, invariably calls
up in the imagination the modest
foweret or the appetizing frontage de
b-arnyard. This modification of the
phonograph, when it is further per-
fected, will doubtless, to some extent,
take the Place of the professional
"spieler" for extolling the merits of
wares or the virtues of performances.
What an excellent plan it would be
for the man who solicits orders for the
Gel Captain General" or any other
leading cigar, to carry a few disks in his
pocket, which placed upon machines,
that will be in the course of time
very generally adopted, will discant
upon the merits OF that excellant
tranquilizer till sale is made from
the novelty, if merit fails. Then the
gentleman from Kentucky may give
his opinion when needed, and the two
Governors may hobnob till the "wee
sma' hours, with suggestiveness
which will doubtless afford keynote
for social enjoyment. Oh the gramo-
phone has come to stay!
