Capt. Moore Gives Up HIS Position
Rather Than Haul Them Down.
There Ii an interesting story in the way
Capt. w. II. Moore left the big four
massed ship Occidental a few days ago
to become pilot and first officer with Capt
Murphy, OF the Henry Willard.
The Occidental has been lying at Port
Biakeley since April 90, loading lumber for
San Francisco. Capt. Moore had been
with the ship for long time and expect
ed to take her back to San Francisco.
While In port he had been flying the
American flag. especially since things
with Spain began to get interesting. The
flag was beginning to show the effects Of
the beating the wind was giving il, and
the attention of a relative OF one OF the
owners OF the boat was called to 1t.
The relative told Capt. Moore to pun
down the nag. as the wind was tearing u
into shreds. Moore said let 1t tear. and
that he would get the ship a new one IL
necessary. He said that he proposed to
have the flag above his decks In these
times. The two men had more words and
Moore left the ship. after refusing to haul
down the Stars and Stripes.

because some one did not turn in and furl
the tent top. Oh. {. was great night for

Dante to perform Free of Charge.

Dante to Perforfa Free of Charge.
Mr.. Cal Heilig has decided 10 throw the
doors OF his Madison street pavilion open
to the public for the remaining days of
this week. without any charge whatever.
Dante is the attraction. The name leaves
no room for further comment. The en-
tire programme as usually given by
Dante will be presented each night and
Saturday matinee. The Saturday matinee
Will be arranged especially for the school
children. who are expected in force
When 1t Is remembered that Dante usu-
ally has 81 admission the public will ap-
preciate the treat arranged for them by
Mr.. Heilig.
Mr. Heilig's object In presenting this
high-prfced attraction to Seattle's people
without charge Is to introduce the Madi-
son Street pavilion to the public as
strictly frst-class summer resort, a place
where any person. gentleman or lady, can
go with perfect propriety; summer re-
sort never before seen in Seattle.
The pavilion has been thoroughly over
hauled, repaired and decorated, and today
is the most attractive summer resort the
alter on the Pacific coast. The seating
capacity Is l.400. and this VIII be taxed 10
the utmost during this week.

II is customary for the average New
York manager at the conclusion OF a sue
cessful run in the metropolis to replace the
original members of the cast with Others
and foist them upon the transporting
playgoers as the original New York COM
pany. disappointment has so often been
experienced by local playgoers at the pres
entation OF what has been advertised as a
New York success. that they have been
wary OF giving their patronage to such In
the future. 1t is obvious that IL an in
ferior company is sent out in charge Of
a treasurer without any artistic aims, the
performance must naturally fall short of
the original production. The notable ex-
ception TO this almost invariable rule is
found in the company presenting Miss
Francis of Yale which will give two OF
their clever performances at the Seattle
theater next Wednesday and Thursday.
Here Is found an organixation-the only
one playing the farce-that halls almost
direct from New York and Chicago. In
order that every performance may be
keyed to concert pitch, Manager Brenton
Thorpe travels with his company and per-
sonalIy superintends every detail of the
performance.
