Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1898-11-25

The Dazzler which appears at Olym-
pa Theater, next Tuesday evening,
has passed over Olympia in its routes
the past three seasons. 1t appeared
here in 1892, with the famous Kate
Castleton in its leading role, and
played To crowded house. 1t can
scarcely toe better than it was then,
bnt 1t l., in its present form, up to
date IN the specialtieS which constitute
the frosting of the generous repast.
The Lady's minstrels have determ-
med to go to Shelton Tomorrow after
noon and repeat their entertainment
IN the evening for the dclectatiDn OF
our Mason county ncighbors. '.hey
have been invited to visit Tacoma, but
the matter OF acceptance has not vet
been determined. All we have to say
Is that any community will he FORUM
ate III securing a visit from the really
talented and wclldrillcd young ladies
who compose the Carnival Souvenir
Minstrel Company.
y patron OF the theater remarked
after witnessing the late rendition of
"tncle Tom" that after all no mod
ern presentation came up to that of
the old-timc favorite, Mr.. Beatty, in
Columbia hall, Il quarter of century
ago. How far this opinion is founded
on true merit, or how much it NAV
he attributed to that sentimental
glamor which gives the exquisite flavor
to mother'r pies, it is impossible to
determine, but the suggestion opens
up an infinite field for speculation.
Phil Rorick met with an accident
at Card & Knights shinglc mill, at
Nesqually, Wednesday morning, that
will MAIN the young man for life lie
was occupied in cutting shinglc bolts,
and had just finished saving off a
block. The block became caught
after leaving the saw, and Rorick
reached over to loosen it, and in some
way his right hand was caught in the
clamps and was forced against the
radidly-revolving saw, completely sew
ering the hand from the arm at the
wrist joint. DR.. Redpath dressed the
wound and the young man is now be-
ing made as comfortable as possible
at st. Peters hospital.
"Just for fun" one of the adver-
tised lines of the Dazzler, seems to be
particularly appropriate and fits the
case exactly. Apparently Cosgroge &
Grants Comedians are just for fun,
and the Dazzler is a most appropriate
vehicle for their merriment. The new
piece, which means that all the old
songs, dances, etc, have been laid upon
the shelf and their places filled by new,
up-todate and bright material, will
be seen at Olympia Theater, next
Tuesday evening. The company con-
sists OF twenty-six people. The cos
tunes are new as we'll as the songs
and dances, and the DazzleI for 1898
shines like new dollar.
The contention between Judges
Millett and Linn rs to the date when
the term Of the new Judge begins, was
decided in favor of the latter gentle
man Tuesday. Judge Linn based his
claim upon the constitutional provis-
ion that an appointee to fill a vacancy
in the Office of Judge of the Superior
Court shall hold the office "until the
election and qualifications of Judge
to fill the vacancy, which election
shall be at the next succeeding general
election, and the Judge so elected
shall hold Office for the remainder of
the unexpired term" Judge Millett's
view of the law was that as the State
officers are required to qualify on the
second Monday in January succeeding
their election that it prescribed the
date for qualification in this as in
other cases. The opinion was written
by Judge Gordon and met with con-
currence from the whole court.
