AT THE THEATRES
Chnse's-Poiite Vaudeville

The bill at the Grand this week could
| hardly be exceIled in general merit al
most every act going with such vim as
| to keep the audiences of yesterday well
occupied in signifying their approval of
the various numbers.
There was close contest for the honors
! between several of the acts but first
place seemed to be given to the Ami
mated Song Sheet led by Laura Com
stock, assisted by some thirty-five coll
| ored people, not all exactly piclkaninnies,
! but each strenuously striving to do his
! best both by voice and facial Grimace,
and producing a volume of sound in
which some really good voices were rec
osnized Miss Comstock also entered
into her work with much zest She has a
pleasing personality and the faculty of
enunciating the words of her songs SO
that they are understandable. Her three
selections, Every Niger Had a Raglan
eE," 1--WE Got a White Man Working
for Me-" and IF That's Society. Excuse
Me-" were hardly enough to satisfy her
listeners, and she was obliged to bow her
acknowledgement of repeated encores
La Marr. of the team of La Mari and
Gabriel. comedians and mimics, possesses
an excellent voice of the Chauncey Olcott
and Andrew Mack quality, and he opened
the act by singing Sweet Annie Moore"
which was met with hearty approval,
while Gabriel in black face" diminutive
of stature and irresistibly funny took
the house by storm with short mono
logue. The sex and age of this latter
member of the team aroused considerable
discussion.
THE Bridegroom's Reverie.' a some
what clever conceit, was presented by the
Misses Delmore and Walter Caryll, who
was seen at the Grand last month in the
support of SissOn and Wallace. The of
ferng is of considerable length and
consists of series Of animated musical
tableauN, which pass before the vision
OF the bridegroom as, seated before
fire on the hour before his wedding, he
allows his mind to dwell on past days
and old loves. In a huge frame over the
mantel place there first appears the girl
he loved in Venice, and, seated in
gondola, she plays The Angels Sere-
made" on her mandolin; next the girl who
went in for amateur theatricals gives
military song in costume; then the Red
Cross nurse who cared for him when he
from her balcony plays her guitar; the
society girl. with a solo or two on the
violin, and the Geisha girl singing Click,
Click, I'm a Monkey on q Stick. all In
costume follow in quick succession. The
entertainment closes with the appearance
of the bride, who slowly descends the
stairs into which the fireplace has con-
verted itself, while the figure of an angel
In the background gives its blessing.
The production is given with excellent
mechanical effect and the different vocal
and instrumental solos were well rendered.
I'Argcntina gives her dances with un-
usually beautiful light and color effects,
that part of her work not requiring grace
of movement being the most pleasing.

EXEMPTION DOES NOT HOLD.
The State Supreme Court Declares
$1,000 Clause Void.

Olympia, Wash, Dec. 6.-The supreme
court today declared unconstitutional
the first section OF the act OF March II,
1897, as follows:
"Section 1.-There shall be exempt
from execution and attachment to eyerv
householder in the state OF Washington
personal property to the amount and
value OF $1,000, in addition to the
property exempt under section 1856, vol.
ume 2, Hills code; provided, that no
property shall be exempt from execution
for clerks, laborers or mechanics wages
earned within this state, nor shall any
property be exempt from execution
issued upon a Judgment against an at
torney on account of any moneys or
other property coming into his hands
from or belonging to his clients.'
The court holds:
"This section is not complete in itself
1t does not purport to add an addition.
al section to the statute relating to ex.
emptions OF personal property, but does
ingraft into the section of the existing
statute providing for such exemptions
an additional exemption which alters it's
scope and extent. AS such it is clearly
amendatory of that section and to com
ply with the constitutional requirement
it should have set forth the secSio1
amended at full length"

SCRAMBLE IN WHBAT
Wild Days in the Pit at Chicago
Now.
Bulls horned the Bears and Made
New Price Record for
the Year.

Chicago, Dec. 7.-Pandemonium broke
loose in grains today and with enthu-
siasm that has seldom il ever been
equalled, the bulls carrying everything
before them. 1t was wild day in the
pits, with wheat in the lead, and, as on
Other recent bulges, all incessant stream
OF buying orders from the country
brought the advances.
Wheat easily led the activity and set
such rapid pace that that it was a
difficult task to follow. As has been the
| fashion for several days past, the pit
opened with jump, and dsregarded
tne usual governing factors. Bulish
enthusiasm did everything The coun-
try was crying for huge quantities and
IT was case of buy-buy. Such a mar
ket was great temptation to holders
OF long wheat and soon a flood of it
poured in from several points. One
prominent broker threw million and a
hall bushels on the market and it had
practically no appreciable effect. Where
several large sellers we're making fat
protts there were as many Others tax
ing IN all offerings with ayidity. Com
mission houses had orders that demon
strated that the public was bigger than
the professionals.
1t Is to be observed that the decline
from the banks into the treasury last
week was largely due to the exceptional
movement of a retirement OF circulation
by interior institutions, and also that
there can be no similar retirement of
notes at least until January, the law
limiting such operations to $3,OOO,O 900
per month. The movement of money
through transfers to the interior was
likewise exceptional. The estimate by
the department of agriculture of small
er crop OF cotton than had been expect
ed caused a bull movement, thus in
creaslng the requirements for money to
carry the latter in store and to move il
from plantations.
The transfers to Chicago, which were
notably large at the end of the week.
we're mainly due to speculation in grain
at the western centers. 1t is probable
that these speculative movements in
cotton and grain will soon subside and
hence it seems likely that not much
additional money will be needed from
this center for such purposes.
december wheat opened 3 407 Sc to
L l-0cgl &c higher at rs 3-4@77 1-Sc,
eased OFF to 76 5-Sc on the heavy profit
taxing, but in the last hour OF business
sailed upward and closed very strong,
z 1902 Lee higher at 78 3-8c. May
opened 7-@1c to 1-4@1 38c higher at
~ 7-o to 81 l &c, sagged to 80 5 Sc, but
near the last moment of trade raE ex-
cItedly up to S3r, and thus establishing
new crop record. The close was very
strong, 2 3-4c higher at 80 5-S@82 3 4c.
Corn was inclined to be fully sym
pathetic with wheat.

EXCLUDE THE CHINESE.
Pacific Coast Legislators Organize
To This End.

Washington, Dec. GA meeting of
senator's and members of the house rep
resenting the Pacific coast states was
held today in the committee room of
Representative Loud for the purpose of
agreeing upon a united policy in the
prosecution OF legislation for the con-
tinued exclusion of the Chinese from the
United States. Mr.. Loud was chosen
chairman and Senator Dubois secretary.
There was a large attendance of mem
bers OF both political parties and the
expression of opinion in favor of vigor-
Gus and effective work was quite general.
Senators Mitchell and Heitfeld and Rep
resentative Loud were especially earnest
in urging action. They took a position
in favor of making the Geary law i'm
mediately effective, declaring that the
Chinese multitude should be kept out of
the country for all time. Chinese In
spector Dunn, who is stationed at San
Francisco, also made an address in
which he detailed his experiences in this
work, pointing out many evils which he
cOntended are included in the promis-
cuous admission OF Chinese.
A committee of six was appointed to
take the subject in hand. This commit
tee is composed OF Senators Mitchell,
Heitfeld and Foster and Representatives
Newlands, Metcalf and Coombs. The
committee organized by electing Repre-
sentative Newlands chairman and Rep
resentatlve Metcalf secretary.
