THE 4 BOARDER.
What the S. r. Examiner Says Of this Sterling
Production.


The clever title The Star Boarder,"
was of such a seductive nature that
when the curtain rose on the first act
the seating capacity OF the house was
tested to its utmost. 1t was an enthu-
siastic audience, too, and they were
out for the laughs, and all the laughs
there was in the piece. 1t cannot be
gainsaid that there are great many
funny situations, ludicrous make-ups
and really funny lines in "The Star
BOarder."
The play goes with snap and a
rush and it must be acknowledged that
if hard work is the criterion, the
artists in the company earn their SAL
aries, and none more so than Chas. H.
Boyle, who acknowledges the creation
of "The Star Boarder" and plays the
principal part himself. His tramp,
who is always on hand and who is
placed in the most incongruous situa-
tions, as for instance being placed at
the head of banquet table and being
asked to carve the turkey, sharpens
the carving knife upon the property
turkey, fills the celery glass with
alleged wine and similar Side.split-
ting vagaries."
The character OF Chauncey Depot,
the star boarder, smacks strongly OF
the tramp part of the late Mr.. Hoey,
Of Evans and HOey, in "A Psrlor
Match" To portray the witticisms OF
=" The Star Boarder" necssitates the SER
vices, behind the footlights, of no less
than seventeen persons.
That "The Star Boarder" pleased
the audience last evening was proven
by the frequent outbursts OF laughter,
and that is what the theater is run
for-to please patrons and put shekels
into the pockets of managers OF both
theater and company. "She Star
Boarder" will be the attraction for the
remainder of the week and will draw
we'll, especially of the element of
theater-goers who 60 to laugh.
This clever company comes to Olym-
Theater, February 2Sth.

that State Auditor is instructed to

was adopted.
A concurrent resolution was intro
duced by Gorham, that a joint COM
mittee OF one from the Senate and two
from the House be appointed to inves-

Printer. Gorham severely criticised
State Printer Hicks, whom, he said
had, come with tears in his eyes beg
ging for money to pay his printers
some little time ago. Since then

been passed in Mr.. Hicks favor and
that money has not been drawn upon

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Boy Killed on Railroad Speeder. Runs
Into Construction Train.

A Boy Killed on Railroad Speeder. Runs
Into . Construction Train.
Charles Jaynes, an exemplary young
man, met his death yesterday morning
about 6 o'clock, near Woodland, while
making his run to this city on q
"speeder," with the early edition of
the Tacoma Ledger. 1t seems that a
construction train schedule had been
arranged going into effect that morn
ing, OF which the lad was in ignorance,
and the consequence was that while
coming down the long grade this side
of Woodland, at high speed, he came
in contact with the construction train
pulling out from this city.
The speeder ran into the train with
great force and the body OF poor
Jaynes was thrown high into the air.
His skull was crushed and his legs
broken. As quickly as possible the
train was stopped and the dying boy
taken aboard. The train returned to
town and as it entered the tunnel
death mercifully came to the MANNED
and mutilated victim.
The Ne,cs says OF the young man !:
DR.. Wegener, who was quite affected
by the news, said, although the boys
studies we're much interrupted by rea-
son OF his having to earn his living
meanwhile, he was most diligent and
conscientious. He was taking a speci.
al course at the school. Even after
his long journey in the early morning.
young Jaynes would generally put in
an appearance in class by IL O'Clock.
Although making many friends, the
young fellow was extremely reserved
about private and family matters, for
mer room and classmates being igno-
rant of the whereabouts of the lads
relatives. c. A. Elliott, a high school
pupil and former roommate of Jaynes'
could give no definite information on
the subject, beyond that he thought
the boys father, named Seth Jaynes,
was in Alaska, and that he had q
brother working at the dock yards at
Bremerton. The deceased was 20 or
81 years of age.
Jaynes was member of Company
E of the Tacoma branch, National
Guard of Washington, and had been
in the organization about two years.
He was held in high estimation by his
comrades. and Captain Dege says he
was first-class gusrdsman. 1t is
said that his brother Paul will will be
present at the funeral.
An inquest held over the body re-
vealed the fact that nobody was to
blame.

Others who carried this Insurance
were dependents on the privy purse
whose incomes cease unless the King
chooses to renew them. Large num-
'bers of societies also carried Queen
insurance for mutual benefit. AS the
British insurance companies assumed
al these and other risks on the Queens
life without medical examination. the
American companies doing business in
England declined the risk. 1t is said
that this curious way of making money
out OF the Queens death was inaugur-
ated at the jubilee in 1887.
