Temperance in Camp.

The Third Semi.Annual Convention
of the Thurston County w. G. T. U.
was held on the M. E. camp ground, at
Little Rock, on last Monday evening.
The programme, throughout the day
and evening, was full of interest to all
present. After devotional exercises,
led by Mrs. Margaret Begg, of Roches-
ter, n general review of the plan of
work of the w. c. T. U. was given.
The Rochester Sunday School, to
the number of about so, lead by their
faithful superintendent, Mr.. Begg,
and with beautiful blue satin banner
bearing the motto, "Love One An
other" advanced to the platform and
gave a song.
Mrs. Matte N. Graves, of Centralia,
delivered an address to the children
upon the Loyal Temperance Legion
and another to the ladies. She also
made an appeal for membership and
several ladies and one gentleman gave
their names.
DIR. S. S. Sulliger, Presiding Elder
of the Olympia District, made fine
address upon the subject of temper
ance. At the close he asked, "What
man has boy, who he would give
to the soloons for all the the taxes he
had paid in the last fifty years." Said
he, eff you are unwilling to do that,
then you have no place for the license
system"
In the afternoon, Miss Margie
Henry gave very amusing recitation
and symposium of the different lines
of work undertaken by the w. C. T..
U. was likewise given.
Mrs. Seward, representing the De
partment of Temperance Literature,
created quite sensation as she came,
scattering leaflets upon every side and
singing Sowing the seed by the day
light fair" Her dress was covered
with the different publications of the
w. T. p. A. She also carried bible
and basket of literature, which after a
short spicy talk she distributed.
The prize was awarded, however, to
the Department of Non-AlcohOlic
Medication and Hygienic Cooking.
These were represented, the first by
little children dressed in white carry
ing white banners with inscriptions,
"Don't give us Castoria, paregoric,
Jamaica ginger, or sarsaparilla. They
contain alcohol, opium and morphine"
The department of Hygienic Cooking
was represented by dishpan and a
white clean dishcloth, in contrast with
a dirty, black, greasy one, swarming
with microbes"
Rev. F. NJ. Wheeler, of Shelton, gave
a very interesting address upon What
l saw in India" faithfully describing
the dress, manners, and customs, OF
that far-away land.
In the evening, Rev. Mr.. Seward
gave an exhibition of views by means
of his paraibola light which were we'll
received and interesting to all. A fine
display of fireworks, under the super
vision of and donated by Mr.. Weston
of Olympia, closed the exercises.

They are endowed with the common
frailties of mankind, and when the ad-
vance sale indicates a loss to the
management, it may occasionally be
too much to expect a conscientious
rendition of play in all its parts. In
fact it has been necessary at times to
strenuously insist upon use of special
scenery and appliances after they had
been carted to the theatcr, when the
prospect of a "poor house" and conse-
quent loss, had acted as damper to
professional zeal. 1t is not, therefore,
surprising to sometimes find n manage
mcnt which so far ignores properties
as to eat its meals in a parlor, or is
willing to dispense with the humaniz-
ing influence of music and "cut stick"
without so much as an az reuOir to
the audience.
1t is no more than just to state
the local management tried its best to
secure competent leader from Seattle
and Tacoma, rs it has often done be-
fore, but neither city could supply the
demand.

The IS First ROrn.D

This novelty in the dramatic line
was presented Saturday evening at
Olympia Theater, with the delightful
comedy Lost for Day." as prelude,
or curtain riser," a reversalof the old
custom of following tragedy with some
light mirthful afterpiece to remove
the gloom of highly-wrought emotions,
for the Chinese play, contrary to ex-
pectation, was of the heavy sort in
which villainy seems to triumph.
While we have heard nothing but
commentator of the plays presented
Saturday night, it must be admitted
to a close observer of such matters,
that there were several small defects,
which may be attributed, however, to
carelessness rather than lack of
ability. For instance, in the comedy,
the use OF n parlOr comfortable for the
dlnner-party and cushioned rockers
for dining chairs, seemed somewhat
incongruOus, as we'll as announcement,
for the playwright intended for the
nephew to kick his uncle's shins I'M
der the table to warn him of impend-
ing trouble, and to twist ones legs
around a pedestal to do so, is
neither dignified nor graceful. This
is but one of the many variations of
detail which marred the artistic work
which may be displayed in n farce as
well as in tragic melo-drama.
Then simply because the local
orchestra is now without a skilled cue
leader, the company cut out all the
music OF the Chinese play, after it had
been rehearsed and might have been
presented in acceptable form to all
but critical ears. Chinese music is
not SO aesthetic that an occasional
iaise note would have been detected.
The fact is that actors are " human"

None But Ayers at the Worlds Fair

There was only one blood purifier
admitted at the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others
were shut out because they did not
meet the requirements of the Fair Com
missioners. Ayers Sarsaparilla only
was accorded the honor of an entry, be-
cause it did meet those require
ments. In other words, the Worlds
Fair authorities found Ayers Sarsapar-
lila to be an honest, scientific prepare
ton, the only one of its kind they could
endorse. That was good testimony that
Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best blood
purifier made. Furthermore, hundreds
OF physicians say it is, thousands of
druggists say it is, millions of patients
say it is. Take it, ailing friend, and you
will say it is.

Mrs. Washington French, a pioneer
resident of this city, died at Monte
sano, Tuesday afternoon, where she
has been for some time past residing
with her daughter Mrs. Calder. Mrs
French was little over G3 years of
age. She came to Puget Sound in
1892, and for many years resided on
the west side of the inlet q couple of
miles below town. Of near relatives,
she leaves son Ernest French, be-
sides her daughter at Montesano, with
Others more distantly connected, and

loss Of good, kind, aiicctionate wo-
man, who shirked no duty in life and
contributed her full share towards the
development of the western wilds into

For Infants and Children.
&C., s:;''"&MzZzzM e! Il; !;

THE first trouble between the con.
tractors to carry supplies between Dyea
and Lake Bennett and the miners,
occurred OH the 9Th inst. The trail
Was finished by labor of the miners
with the understanding that their sup.
plies should be carried through for Is
cents per pound. The arrival of a
large number of prospecters from Sc
attic, with $50 tons of supplies caused
the company to advance the rate to
25 cents per pound. A meeting of the
miners was held, and it was deter
mined to assert their rights, at the
point of their Winchesters. The pack
ers weakened, and thus ended the first
exciting event of the Klondike rush.

Murphy Combine.

Max Lauderville, who accompanied
the Carlyon and Jesse Murphy party
to Klondike, has written a letter to
Phil Trombley, of this city, under
date of the 10th inst, from which we
have been permitted to make the fol.
lowing extracts:

Will leave in two hours for Skaguay bay,
over the new trail. The rush is wonder.
full. There are 5000 people at the trail
waiting to pack. Lots OF people are
tnrning back discouraged with the pros
poets. 1t is hard to tell whether we will
get through or not, this fall. There is a
heavy duty on supplies and it costs from
20 to IS cents pound 10 pack on horses
and the means are limited at that. There
is more freight here on the beach than
can be packed in this season.
