"Quo Vadis," the great religious
play that will be seen at Olympia The
alter, is a dramatizatiOn OF Sienkiewitz' 8
famous romance, book that has been
read more widely than any during the
past two years. The play appeals
strongly in setting forth u graphic
picture of debauchery and lieentious-
ness of the period when the Roman
Empire was at its height under Nero
and brings out wildly the desperate
struggle of the Christians against
the despot and his court. The seem
cry is striking and no stage spectacle
ever witnessed can equal the graphic
picture Of the burning OF Rome. The
martyrdOm of the early Christians is
an impressive spectacle and the play
is one long to be remembered by those
who witness it.

Death of Henry Prescott.

With the death OF Henry Prescott
passes away one who had long been
identified with local progress. nv. P.
came to the State in the latter part of
the Sos, settling at Port Madison,
where he made some money in the
extraction of oil from the dogtish,
which follow the salmon run and pro-
duce lubricant largely used in log
ging camps for skid. gressing.
Mr.. Prescott's residence in this city
dates back over forty years. Soon
after he came here he bought what
was known as the Mitchell Corner"
ON Third and Main streets, which
property he has ever since owncd and
partly occupied in person. His death
was sudden, although not entirely I'M
expected. He died sitting in his
chair at his apartments, fully dressed,
Monday afternoon, with his cane
in hand, as if the grim messenger
had come and with a gentle stroke
severed the frail tie that had bound
him to Earth. 1t was sometime
in May that he experienced a hem.
orrhage, which placed him for a
time in the hospital, but he had in
some degree recovered from the shock.
A Coroner's jury was empanneled,
consisting Of T. c. Van Epps, H. l..
Wiley, c. S. Wilcox, ID. r. Barry and
NJ. o. Fuller, but their Investigations
elected nothing further than has
been stated, that he came to his death
suddenly from natural causes.
Mr.. Prescott was q married man.
but a separation took place between
himself and his wife about twelve
years ago, the wife still residing in
this city. The funeral took place
Wednesday, and interment was made
in Masonic cemetery.
