GA Debt of Honor given by AL
bany amatuers at the Opera House,
Friday evening, took on more the
nature of a drawing-room enter.
tainment for friends, than that of
"show by real actor folks" The
audience was goodnatured, recep-
tive and willing to be pleased. The
players realized their Limitations,
were conscientious and did their
very best. "Goodwill" was the
watchword of entertained and en-
tel tainers, and with such an under
standing nothing but pleasure could
result for all. It would lie the
height of ILL., l-breeding for the host
and hostess to criticize their
guests and our visitors from
Albany have thus escaped this
ordeal. A =, friendly suggestion,
however, may not be out of order.
A pleasing surprise was the ex.
ceptlonal natural talent displayed
by a number of the cast. There
was lack Of discipline and need of
direction, but ability was evident.
The play, too, is an unfortunate
vehicle for entertainment in the
hands of amatuers. 1t would
smother the best efforts Of pro-
fessionals. One is left in doubt as
to the moral, and the tale is poorly
adorned. There is palpable lack of
movement, stale situations, no
pleasing pictures. Even the COM
edy is dragged in by the ears, leav-
ing the players to apologize for
their presence every time they ap-
pear. Approaching all this, we
should enjoy seeing these friends at
less disadvantage.
Of the performers, Mr.. Tway is
entitled to first honors. He may
not be so versatile as Miss Craw-
ford, and certainly lacks her ex-
perience, but his "Mark Lester"
was more intelligent delineation,
than was Miss Crawford's "Olive
Glenn" Mr., Tway has the natural
qualities of an actor. Miss Craw-
ford is an experienced elocutionist.
Each has exceptional talent. Next
in point Of merit, possible, was Mr..
DuBruille's work in "Pedro Men
dez." He does not give the char
acter the calculating heartlessness
which it demands, but spares one
the spectacle of bloodthirstiness
usually presented by amatuer vii
lians.
Mr., Hart makes good "darky."
But all "niggers" are not alike,
however much they may 'look
alike" and a butler is scarcely .ex.
pected to deport himself like min
strel.
The CDR. Garcia" of Mr.. Dawson
makes us feel that the surgeon of
the Madeleine was practicing with
out license, or the board of exam
iners who issued his certificate were
woefully deficient G. q. Hogue
appeared as "Robt. Glenn" who
dies almost before we make his
acquaintance, SO that the parting
gives no pain. AS portrayed by
Mr.. Swan, "Gilbert HalP' is scarce
ly the person to win the affection
of "Olive Glenn or arouse the
Jealousy of MARK Lester" He is
a faint,hearted, nerveless individ-
ual whose missien seems to be to
excite pity. Let it be said to Mr..
Swans credit, however, that the
character is the most difficult in
the play, and thankless in the
hands of the most competent.
Miss Dannals makes pretty
"Sally Glenn" Mrs. Hare had the
unenviable task Of presenting the
role of "Maria," and "Gregory
Grimes" was entrusted to Earl
Brandeberry.

Since his residence in this

positions Of public trust, and
always with honor to himself,
his county and his state. Judge
John Burnett was known over
the entire Pacific coast, and
could relate incidents by the

were invariably interesting nara

Burnett willis In life. He was
fairly successful in business af-
fairs, and was enabled to pass
his later years in comparative
ease. He was a loving husband
and kind father.
In the Spring of 184o he was
offered an outfit to California by
a relative, and though less than
18 years Of age, he accepted and
started across the plains to seek
fortune in the gold fields. He
engaged in mining and soon

by the first opportunity. He
followed mining for two years
with fair Success, and then re-
turned to his native state, when,
in 1858 he again crossed the
plains with a band of cattle.
After selling the cattle he en-
gagged second time in mining,

for the yellow metal.
In the spring Of 1859 he came
to Oregon and settled in Benton
county, where he has since re.

married to Miss Martha Hinten.
About that time he began read

Difficulties of the Road Builders.

Difficulties of the Road Builders.
The amount of labor required to
open the road. and render it fit hereaf-
ter for military n commercial pur-
poses, gave constant employment to a
large working party during all the time
we were on the march.
The long distance in advance that
the engineers were obliged to make re-
commissioners before determining the
route from n point to another, rem
dered their duties arduous-
1t was not enough to know that a
road could be made up the valley. or
that 4 range of mountains could be
passed. but it became necessary to ex-
plore the country further beyond, to
definite points, before the opening of
the route. When the nature of the
country is seen by those who may
hereafter pass over the road. it may
excite surprise; but it will not be that
so practicable a route a been found,
but rather that IN was found at all.

Joseph Handler appears to have made serious mistake in meeting so formidable a man as Cans. On top of that the white boy was badly advised in the ring. Instead of rushing blind ly at so cool customer as Cans ill the first round Handler should have eer- tainly kept at safe distance until he became steady. Now he must start over again, and as he is made of good material he may eventually do better.

At Cambridge.

Cambridge, Oct 3.-The Harvard football team defeated Bowdoin yes terday in twelve-minute halves by score of 12 to o, the same as last year. Harvard's back field was composed of substitutes, and only the excellence of the linemen saved the day.
 BOwdOin's back was better than liar wards. The first touchdown was made by line plunging for thirty-five yards after Graydon has run back with kick-of for fifty yards. After the sec ond kickoff Bowdoin secured the ball on forward pass and gained steadily for twenty-five yards through Har- wards line before being forced to kick.
 In the second half Harvard scored toward the end by straight line play from midfeld. The work of the backs was so ragged that no end runs could be tried. Campbell played at left end and showed all his old time form. Hovey did the best work in the line. The lineup:
 Harvard. Position. Bowdoin. Burgess ..... right end ..... Kelly Lawrence .. right tackle .. Hamilton Barnard .... right guard ...... Davis Sargent ...... center -..... Philoon Hovey -.... left guard ...... Barker Braydon, Swann. left tackle .... Soule Campbell .... left end ........ Fogg Baldwin ... quarterback -... Perkins Piper .... right halfback .....

 Score: Harvard 12, Bowdoin 0; touchdowns, Derby, Swann; goals, Campbell 2; time of halves, 12 minutes.

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Patsy Sweeney Will Now Face Diff
 ferent Kind of Boxer.

Hartford, Oct 3.-Patsy Sweeney, the Manchester, N. H., pugilist, is un- der bail of 5000 to answer to a suit which has been brought in the superior court for damages of 5000 for an all legged violation of contract and another suit is pending against him for the re- coyery of a diamond This latter ac- ton is pending in court of common pleas. The plaintiff in the action IS John J. Mack of New York, who has his mail forwarded to Theodore sB. Hughes, care of the Imperial hotel news stand, Broadway and Thirty-sec- ond street. He claims that on March ?, 1901, he entered into an agreement with Sweeney whereby he was to have the exclusive care and management of Sweeney in all of his engagements, and that he was to provide trainers and quarters for Sweeney when preparing for all of his fights. They were 10 share equally the amounts when Sweeney received for his engagements. Mack claims that he expended about $2,000 for Sweeney under the proris- ions of the contract, but that sweeney violated it's terms and made an agree ment with w l.. Crowley of the Nut meg Athletic club of this city to ap- pear in an exhibition before his club, without the consent Of MACK. SWee- ney's body was attached in the action and W. L. Crowley gave a bond in the sum of S5,000 for Sweeney's appear ance in court to answer to the com piaint. The writ was returnable Tuesday, but there was no appearance on the records of the court in his be- half. If no appearance is entered, judgment in default will be entered, and if an appearance is made mo- ton will be made for special bail for him to answer any judgment that might be obtained against him. The action brought by Mack to the court of common pleas against Sweeney is to recover the value of diamond ring, which Mack claims is worth $500. He says that on July l of this year he loaned a diamond ring to Sweeney 10 wear temporarily for the purpose of ornament. He claims that Sweeney took the ring to Manchester, N. H., and had the stone reset into a pin and then presented it to his wife or some woman friend and that he refuses to return it, although demand has been made on him to turn the property over.
