ADJUSTMENTS.
"a GiIded Fool, mt the seattle.

James NELL and his splendid company
theater last night, the second in a four
nights engagement The audience packed
the theater, and expressed its apprecia-
play by spontaneous and hearty applause.
1t would be difficult to conceive of a
more delicately shaded performance of a
wonderfully clever comedy of modern New
York life than that given by Mr.. Neil
and his support. 1t was finished, refined
and the perfection of intelligent effort and
dramatic power. Nothing was left undone
that might contribute to complete and
well rounded whole. So completely were
the actors and actresses in sympathy with
their characters that the audience easily
with the action. There was not part of
which the requirements were not thorough
ly fulfilled, and there was no approach to
any OVERRIDING.
The care taken in staging the produce
ton deserves special mention. 1t made
a result good to see, and too frequently
not realized in otherwise excellent presen-
tatiohs. There were three different set.
tings, each of which was rich and well
James Ne:ll. as Chauncey Short, OF the
"Gilded Fool" showed the different quail
tiles Of the young man who suddenly ac-
duired immense wealth and commenced to
elbow 1t in as he expresses it. until a
noble woman's influence entered his life,
with a delicacy of touch and dramatic
power of the highest order. He made
the cimaxes intensely interesting, and
SWayeQ the auulence With MS dcliIE.
His recital of his knowledge of the worth
of money was especially noteworthy.
Miss Edythe Chapman, as Margaret
Ruthyen. with whom the ,"Gilden Fooi,,'
IS in love, could not have been improved.
Simplicity and refinement, combined with
a beautifully modulated voice, made her
charming. She was so thoroughly at
home in her part that one was inclined
to admire her as an Individual, forget
ting the play entirely.
BENJAMIN Howard played the part of
Bannister Strange, a Wall street 'wrecker.
He was good, and even in his .villainy 1T
was impossible to avoid admiring. him.
Frank McVickers, as the head of the
banking firm of Ruthven & Co.. which
Strange ruined, only to have the "tiildea
Fool" beat him at his own game, was
admirable. Nothing but the highest COM
mendation can be bestowed on the other
members of the company.
This evening the company will play
Captain Lettarblair," in which Z. III.
sothern made great success here sew
eral years ago. 1t was stated yesterday
morning that the Neill company would
not hold the stage at the Seattle the
alter Thursday evening. This Is mis-
take. 1t will present tomorrow evening
the beautiful romantic drama, Amy
Robsart.

The Chicago Lumber and Coal Com
pany, OF ST. Louis, owners of several OF
the largest lumber mills In the southern
yellow pine districts. also forty yards In
Kansas and others In the provincial cities
OF the Mississippi valley, are contemplate
Ing the erection OF big mill plant on
Puget sound.
IA. G. Dudley, manager OF the Minne-
apolis branch OF the company, arrived at
the Hotel Seattle yesterday ana left last
night for Whatcom and other adJacent
numbering districts. where he VIII look
over the field for his company.
Eyes, eur company Is thinking OF build
ing a mill on Puget sound" Mr.. Dudley
said last night, but whether or not y
will be done depends on developments. 1
have been asked to come here and look
into the prospects. While we are South
ern pine lumbermen we use great deal
of Washington fir and cedar lumber ana
cedar shingles. The demand for these
products of the Coast are increasing, ana
during the coming year we shall use
about 1000 cars of shingles and large
amount of lumber.
1.-THE Washington fir on accent freight
rate from here and the yellow pine on
30-cent freight rate from the South meet
an equal price list at Minneapolis. The
white pine product cannot be competed
against by any lumber at the same list,
way pine the former has the bulk OF the
trade. While the present market price
of fir Is slightly lower than southern
pine the prospects are that when the
season has fairly opened fir will have adj
vanced in Minneapolis to the pine list.
There is a good demand for mr. ana
cedar car materials, stills, ETC., and every
year these products are gaining firmer
foothold and working themselves further
East.
There is one thing that retards the
increase of the Eastern market for wash
ington lumber. For example, the freight
rate from Seattle to Kansas City on FIR
Is so cents and on cedar so cents per 1000.
both shingles and lumber. or, In other
words, there Is 10 cents difference be-
tween the car load rates of the two woods
to all points. Many Eastern dealers
want a small amount of each class OF
lumber, but not enough to order two cars.
The railroads refuse to mix a car unless
the whole carries the cedar rate. This
makes the fir cost about 5000 more to the
small dealer than 1t does to the dealer
who orders two cars. The consequence
is that the small dealer gets along with
something else.
''This matter has been up before the
lumber associations of the Mississippi val
ley time and again, but as yet the rail-
roads have done nothing to remedy the
evil. When something Is done the sales
of Washington lumber in the East will
materially increase.
1.-THE outlook for an increased consump-
ton of tho lumber and shingles of this
state for the present year is good"

NOMINATIONS MADE BY THE NEW
YORK STATE REPUBLICANS.
Saratoga, Sept. 5.-The first busi-
ness Of the republican state conven-
tion this morning was the nomina-
tons. Former Governor Black pre-
sented the name Of Odell in an eloquent
speech. After being seconded the
nomination was made unanimous.
Chauncey Depew nominated Woodruff
saying the flag had never been with
drawn from lands or population which
were part and parcel of our country
and never would be.
Depew criticised Bryan sharply and
in naming Woodruff said it was bril-
liant refutation of the theory of Crok-
er that there is no chance for young
man in this country. Woodruff's NOM
ination was also unanimous. Odell
was introduced for short speech Of
thanks and then the balance of the
state ticket was named in a bunch. At
the conclusion Roosevelt entered the
hall and received a tremendous ova-
tion.
Governor Roosevelt addressed the
convention and at its conclusion the
convention adjourned.

ceivable, it cannot be impressed too
often upon the minds of those very
persons who are enjoying the pros
perity which is the fruit of republican
rule, that they must see to it in the
November elections that their votes
are cast and counted in order to con-
tinue the blessings which are now be-
ing enjoyed.
There is scarcely a business man,
there is no man who was in the enjoy
ment OF moderate income, or no
man who was mechanic or laboring
man who did not feel the disastrous
effects of democratic rule from 1888
to 1897. If this class of citizens real
lied today that the return to that same
democratic rule is almost sure to
plunge them into the same troublous
times there would be no apathy nor
possibility Of Bryan's success. The
great difficulty is in convincing con-
tented men that there is possibility
of danger ahead. Everybody real
ICES that in 1892 the same difficulty
arose, and the result was four years of
democratic disaster, four years of hard
times, which were felt by every man
in the country.

ELECTRIC LIGHT CASE.
SUIT AGAINST THE HUGHES COM

AT FARGO.

SUIT AGAINST THE HUGHES COM
PANY TO BE TRIED IN COURT
AT FARGO.
Fargo, Sept. 4.-Judge Pollock con-
vened a term Of court this morning for
the trial of few old court cases and
nine new ones. The most important
case in the bunch is that of the Fargo
Gas and Electric Co. against the
Hughes Electric Co. and the Fargo Ed
ison Co., which will be called early in
the term. The action is brought to
settle the matter Of whether the Edison
Co. has right to operate under the
franchise granted by the city council.
Back in 1881 the council granted an
exclusive and perpetual franchise to
the first lighting company organized in
the city. This company sold out to
the Fargo Gas and Electric Co., which
claims to be operating under the fran
chise, which precludes any other light
ing company from occupying the same
field. Several interesting contests be-
tween the companies have been settled
in the courts and a number Of weighty
legal questions are involved. Judge
Pollock will be required to settle the
question as to whether the city OF Far
go has a right to grant q perpetual and
exclusive franchise 20 any company or
corporation.

nal the engineer to stop the train but
he did not see the signals and the por-
ter was forced to drop of the platform
to avoid striking truckload of trunks
which stood near the track. In drop
ping OF the car he fell and struck the
very edge of the depot platform, bal
ancing there for a moment and then
luckily throwing himself away from
the wheels. Bystanders held their
breadths expecting to see the man
mangled by the wheels and breathed a
sigh of relief when the train passed
and he escaped uninjured except for
fright and a severe shaking up. The
train was stopped at the west end of
the yards and he got aboard.
