AT THE THEATER.

Jolly May Irwin kept a theaterful of
people laughing for two hours last
night. She is the same Irwin. not y
bit slenderer. apparently not a day
older and just as full of fun as she was
some years ago. Her play The Wild
ow Jones'" was made for her. The
story hingles on the adventures of Be
atrice, by Miss Irwin, who is summer
ing at a village in Maine and is being
annoyed by several admirers who have
followed her there She learns from
the Irish landlord of the boarding
house that the summer before an i'm
peCunious individual named Jones
stopped with him and that one day his
clothes were found on the banks of a
lake and Jones had disappeared. Beat
rice decided to palm herself off as his
widow and pretended great grief,
thinking to escape from her persecu-
tors. She was very much surprised
when presented with a board bill for
S6S, which Jones had carelessly left I'M
paid, and was still further nonplussed
when she discovered that he had also
left a child, a young girl of 16 or there
abouts, untidy and wild. However, she
makes herself responsible for both the
debt and the offspring of Jones. and
goes to Paris. followed there by her
fond admirers, and. worst of all. Jones
turns up and claims her as his wife.
Any number of amusing complications
occur and finally eliminate in the
widow being won by one of her pur-
suers.
Miss Irwin is supported by an excel
lent company Miss Florence Reed,
daughter of the late Roland Reed,
played the part of Felicity" the sup
posed daughter of Widow Jones, and
a very charming and up-to-date girl
withal.
Miss Twins songs caught the audi
ence. and, although she was generous
in acknowledging the encores she re-
ceived, she couldn't sing enough.
The audience was a brilliant one,
and all of the boxes were filled, and
numbers of theater parties occupied
orchestra chairs.
The Robson Theater Company, which
begins weeks engagement at the
opera house Monday night, is composed
of the best people in both the dramatic
and vaudeville branches of the BUSH
ness. The plays are all selected with
special care and the company comes
prepared to give first-class perform
ances. Matinees will be given Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday. The
prices will be 10, 20 and 30c Ladies

COTTON EXHAUSTED.
Reports From Interior Towns show
Small Stocks.

Small STOCKS.
New York, April 4.-The speculation
in the cotton continues to broaden and
the prices are advancing day by day
as a result of the sensa tional falling
off in the movement of the crop from
the plantations Replies to about 900
kilograms sent by me to every town of
over 300 inhabitants in the cotton belt
reveal the fact that the exhaustion of
the crop is more complete than has
ever been known at this tipe of the
year. Many towns report no cotton
whatever on hand, none in the sur
rounding country, and in the few cases
where any substantial quantity of cot
ton is reported as held it is generally
stated that it is either sold or await
ing consumption on the part of the
Southern mills. The prospect of a COM
plete exhaustion of the supply by or
before the first of July seems tonight
more definite than at any time pre-
viously this season.

The council refused to accede to Dr.
Rohy's plea, and approved the report
of the appraisers
/. 1t appears that the two lots lying west
Of DR.. Roby's lots on Van Buren, are
owned by Mrs. H. S. Nichols, wife Of
Councilman Nichols. She is willing to
let these two lots go for $50 apiece. It
is claimed that the lots owned by DR..
ROby have been graded and used as
part of the street for a number Of
years, and that recently DR.. Roby has
fenced them up, cutting down the
street east of Twenty-second street to
25 feet wide. It is to give the city legal

MR. LAUGKa PROTESTS.
I. S. Lauck and several other resi-
dents on Second street, represented by
T. F. Doran, protested against the as
sessed valuation of property condemned
for opening Second street. The apprais
ers allowed Mr.. Lauck $3.50 for his lot
and $40 more to pay for row of shade
trees and a barn, which will have to
be moved. The amount which Mr..
Lauck wanted was $500 for the lot and
additional pay for the trees and barn.
The council seemed inclined to con-
slider Mr. Lauck's protest favorably and
referred the matter to the judiciary CON-
mittee to investigate and report upon.
Councilman Bergundthal also had a
kick on the appraisment of piece OF
