with much pains programmes of class
work, music, dialogues, recitations, and
such other things as pupils are wont to do,
and in some of the schools each room will
have its own outline to be rendered. The

such attendance some of the classes pre-

that are in better circumstances do not
want any of their companions to pass the
holidays without the enioyments that

Eugene Blair made her debut in this
city, at the Seattle @leater, last night, In
Frances Hodgson Bnrnett's powerful So
which she and her company opened a four

reputation as an emotional actress which
has preceded her on her Western tour.

from her presence Sir John Oxon. who
last bitter drop TO her cup by declaring the
falseness Of his vows. called forth the

cellent company to support her in "a Lady

like to see the company In a play that
would give them more scope for the ability
they have so little opportunity to display
in that drama. AS Sir John Oxon, William
Bramwell has an opportunity to do some
excellent acting, but his is the exceptional
part. AS the Duke of Osmond, one OF the
central figures in the novel, Lee Baker
has almost nothing to do, and John Suth-
erland suffers in like manner as Lord
Twemlow's chaplain, though both are clev-

Despite what has been said to the con-

prevent British vessels engaging in the
Cape Nome trade along the lines laid down
for the trip which the Alpha made last
fall The Alpha made that trip when no
American ship would undertake it, lest
they should get caught in the ice. On this
voyage We carried United States mails and
both American and British goods. OF the
latter we had ITO tons of coal, 20 600 fect
of lumber and 1900 shingles On these
articles We paid the duty, but did not land

The Victoria and Vancouver Navigation
Company. which operates the Alpha, Will
also run a vessel between Seattle and
Nome, which will, of course, be an Ameri-

NAVAL PERSONNEL ACT.
Some Interesting Problems for the
Judge Advocate to Solve.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Judge
Advocate General Lemley is engaged
in constructing some interesting opin-
ions connected with the Naval Per-
Sonnel Act.
The last question to come up for de-
cision was the standing of several en-
gineer officers who have been trans
ferred to the line, and the special case
presented as a test was that of Chief
Engineer George H. Kearney
The personnel Act provides that an
engineer officer with the relative rank
OF Commander shall take place on the
rolls according to the dates they re-
celve their commissions. A second
provision looks to placing such officers
on the list directly after the line off
Ger with whom the engineer graduated
from the naval academy Here was
an apparent conflict which was not an
tlcipated when the personnel bill was
drawn last spring, for it was supposed
that no graduate of the naval academy
in tAs engineer department could at
tain the rank of Commander before
the Act passed. This was an error, as
four officers, Kearney, Moore Steven
son and Rea all went up owing to the
collapse of an unusual number of Off
GERS owing to hard war service.
The question being submitted to the
Judge Advocate General as to what
standing Kearney should have. he has
decided that he shall take his place as
Commander under the first provision.
instead of as a Lieutenant Commander
under the second. The result of this
decision is that Kearney is advanced
about thirty numbers.
