The Examiner has sensational
story that Miss May Tilley, who a
! quarter OF q century ago married a Mr..
Tilton and went to San Francisco to
live. She is now Countess Straya, oil
Greece, ravishing widow who is hold
ing queenly sway by the Lake OF
Coma, with countless Clandes at her
feet. She passes for a woman OF
thirty years, which shows that she pos
sesses the secret of maintaining her
youth in a remarkable degree, The
Examiner (onr usual luck) accrcdits
the fair queen to Seattle, when every
body knows she was born and bred in
this city.
A lady politician accounts for the
want of any demonstration of en-
thusiasm at the Republican meetings,
by the explanation that "peoplc are
thinking" and CONSTITUTES that condi-
ton as favorable tothe Hanna cause.
Dear, dear; what folly! Why bless
your soul, the more people think the
more emphatic will be their condem-
nation OF Imperialism and the domi-
nation OF Wealth. The true cause Of
Republican apathy is that they see in
the near future utter rout and defeat,
and it is not customary for people to
be jubillant or demonstrative under
such a state of affairs. No, bless you,
the Republicans are only thinking
enough nowadays to select soft
place to fall upon.
David P. Lister was badly burned by
molten iron in the Pioneer Foundry,
on Thursday OF last week. A large
ladle of the metal had been drawn
from the furnace and was about to be
removed TO the moulds, when one of
the workmen threw into the seething
metal a piece of cast.iron. This
caused the mass to fly in all directions.
Mr.. Lister, who was standing near, re-
ceived a douse of the flying metal,
which ran down his back and left side,
under his clothing. The torture suf-
fered by him may be imagined, for the
brief period before relief could be ap.
piled. His clothing was torn off soon
as possible, and bucket of water was
thrown upon the terrible burns, ex-
tending from head to foot. Although
the wounds are not dangerous, they
are exceedingly painful and will in
capacitate Mr.. L. for work for some
time.
A bare synopsis of the story con.
veyed in the new four-act melo.drama
depicting Russian and Siberian life,
For Her Sake" would consume a
column, for with the characteristic
profusion of intrigue common to most
Siberian plays; plot is interviewer
with plot in a fashion consonant, &C.
eording to tradition, with the charac.
ter of the people with which it has to
do. The tale, in brief, is that of a
Russian prince Of the blood and a
beautiful serf maiden, of opposition
and intrigue on the part of the
princes family, and political skull
duggery on the part OF one of the
Cars minions, an agent of the secret
police. The prince is reduced to the
status of Siberian exile, as is the
serf girl Of whom lie becomes enam-
ored. The piece is credited with be-
ing rapid in action and of intense dra-
matte quality. The scenical effects
are said to be elaborate and costly and
true to the facts OF life in the local..
ties involved, The play will be seen
at Olympia Theater, next Monday
evening.
A very enjoyable Smoker was held
by the Native Sons in X. OF p. Hall
Saturday night, about sixty members
and guests being present. A repast
was served with that ancotty favorite,
clam chowder, as the piece de resistance.
Corn-cob pipes and tobacco were fur
nished and this symbol of peace and
contentment was in such favor that
very soon the clouds SO graphically
described by Irving in his Knicke-
booker History of New Amsterdam, Of

tie, was realized. Speeches were made,
Mr.. Alling leading off, somewhat out
of tho usual order, with swectened
