bystanders rushed to the LAWYERS aid,

All right; thank you,' said the lawyer
to the men who had come to his aid. Tie

then he felt rope on his wrist and his
self-possession deserted him, and he
fairly raved at the indignities that we're
being heaped upon him. He resorted to
language not usually heard from the
bench or employed by the judiciary. But
the more he said the less effect it seemed
to have on his captors.
FINALLY he paused for breath and the
lawyer in a quiet voice said: Are you
satisfied now that was right in the argu-
ment?' Satisfied" began the judge, hys-

1t Convinced Judge That Sane Men

From the Chicago .Chronicle.l


NJ. II. Chetwynd, of Philadelphia. in
commenting on a recent case where a
sane person was released by the courts
from an asylum where he had been IL
legally confined, told the following story:
About twenty years ago a lawyer of
prominence got into a controversy on this
very point with an equally well-known
judge. The lawyer maintained that it was
the easiest thing in the world to get a
sane person confined In an asylum. The
Judge, while admitting that 1t might be
possible, held that 1t would be very diff
cult and that the difficulties would in
crease in proportion to the position in
society of the intended victim. a per-

turning suddenly to his companion, I

aloud at the absurdity OF the idea. and
the discussion for the nonce was dropped

THE STATE FAIR PIRATES
They Are Still Working at Their
Scheme to Rob Yakima of Her
Sole Public Institution.
DESPICABLE METHOD PURSUED
SANDERS Of Various Kinds Put 10 Circulation
which Are Calculated Not Only to Injure
the Fair. But to initiate Against
the Material Interests Of
Yakima

The scheme to rob Yakima of the
state fair is growing, and now the
Tacoma News has taken it up. They
say they do not intend to interfere with
the fair in any way, but at the same
time keep giving it black eye. The
plan originally was to divide the state
appropriation, giving part to Yakima,
Spokane, Walla Walla, Seattle and
Tacoma for fairs OF various kinds, and
gradually concentrate them in King
county, leaving Yakima out entirely.
When the election OF Vandevanter was
known to be an impossibility, the project
was changed and McGraw, Wilson and
their immediate followers, under the
direction OF Nandevanter, decided to
help the latter out of bad hole by
having the state purchase and rehabili-
tate his old submerged race track grounds
at Kent, which is nothing but a bog,
and by killing the appropriation for the
fair at Yakima, finally make Vande-
vanter's swamp the dumping place for
liberal appropriations of state money.
The Tacoma News falls in with the
project because the Post-Intelligencer
says that it is proposed to locate the
institution at Tacoma or Seattle, but if
the scheme goes through the News can
he assured that the location will be a
long ways from Tacoma. Every possible
dirty trick is being turned to further the
ends OF the jobbers. Not satisfied with
claiming that there would be no fair after
the commissioners had decided to hold
one, and to circulating reports at that
time that Yakima was impregnated with
smallpox, they now say that the twenty
two men recently sent to McNeils

island were convicted of selling liquor to
Indians during the state fair; and
another thing asserted is that the "fair
does not render the service to the dairy
and stock interests of the state it should, j"
when the fact is that no finer exhibit Of
dairy and beef stock was ever made in
the Northwest than was shown at the
recent fair in Yakima. Perhaps the
premiums were not as great as they
should have been, but they were all that
could have been afforded according to
to the meagre appropriation of the
state, assisted by subscriptions of citizens
OF Yakima.
The job is contemplate one, and
those Benedict Arnolds of Yakima, who
are assisting in it, should be dis
countenanced by the public whenever
they show their heads for favor.

night that the editor had decided to

in was carried around to different houses,
and ii any objections were raised it was
"killed'. At 3 p. IN. the paper went to
press as usual, and when the patrons
unfolded it that evening they found
nothing but blank sheet. The editor

he had printed nothing to offend any
body and that his paper was entirely

"Tennessee's Pardner" played to a

Alba Haywood.
Alba Haywood and his company Of 70
cal and instrumental artists put up
one OF the cleanest, most artistic and
entertaining performances at Larson's
theater Tuesday evening that the amuse-
ment-loving public will have an oppor-
tunity OF witnessing during the season.
Owing to the inclemency OF the weather
and perhaps somewhat to the fact that
much larger organizations are coming
pretty close togther, the audience was
distressingly small. The program was
carried out in full, however, and just as
well as it would have been had
the house been packed. Mr.. Haywood
as an impersonator, elocutionist and vo-
calst is one of the cleverest on the stage,
and always is accompanied by high-class
talent. 1t is to be regretted that he did
not meet with more enthusiastic re-
ception.

Human Hearts.

Human Hearts.
| "Human Hearts," which comes to
Larson's theater Saturday, November
24 is probably the most perfectly staged
play before the public. Each act has its
own scenery, properties and accessories.
The company is far above the average
seen in travelling organizations. The
play itself is clean, clear, and cleverly
woven together. The dialogue is that
bright, common, everyday language that
you hear fall from the lips of living peo-
pie, and not the old-fashioned rant. 1t
is play that pleases the masses, as at
tested by the fact that it is in its fifth
season. 1t never fails to hold an audi
ence, and all local managers as well as
their patrons speak of Human Hearts"
as production possessing great power
to move and entertain. The cast in
cludes such sterling talent as Fred Fair
banks, who essays the part of Tom To-
gan, the village smith; Mr.. Sully Guard
as Armsdale the villain Mr.. Ed Nc
Hugh as Jem Mason; Bertha Green in
the beautiful character of Ruth; Miss
Eulalia Bennett as Jeanette the adven-
turess; Josephine Sutherland as Sa-
mantha, Tom Logan's blind mother ;
the laugh-provoking Myra Kethcem as
"Limpy" Morgan the bootblack Little
Baby ROYAL, one OF the cleverest child
actresses in America as Baby Logan.
Three tots. ranging in age from eleven
months to four years, help to perfect
this beautiful heart play, and with their
mother they will make the long tour
with the company this season.

"a Breezy Time This piece contains
absolutely no moral lesson, social satire
nor story of contemporaneous human
interest. 1t was not put together for
the purpose of elevating the American
drama, and it was not calculated to
make dramatic critics get out their best
set of ethics and rules of construction.
The purpose of the piece is to amuse by
means of series OF clever speciality per-
formances, devoid Of suggestion and ex-
cuted by performers of the very best
ability. The piece is, in point or fact,
an olio. In it there are lots OF pretty
girls, catchy music, unctuous comedians,
and graceful dancers. There is slight
story, but it is so unimportant that it is
not worth mentioning. The cast is we'll
balanced, each one having been engaged
for some particular talent that he or she
possesses, but they play together in
such way that the result is harmonious
in the extreme, and best Of all, very
laughable. The comedy fairly scintilates
with music, mirth and merriment; has
the sweetest songs, jolliest jokes and
happiest of hits. The novelties intro
