children. He was a printer. hav-
Ing worked at that trade here, but
abandoned that to take up the study
of sign writing, of which art he had

The Shelton amateur dramatic club
had made arrangements to render one
OF their charming comedies in Olym-
pia Theater last night, when some one
OF the company happened to think it
was the Lenten season, and probably
lew might not patronize it on that
account, and an order was peremptor-
lily given to cancel the date. That
they were frightened without cause
is shown by the fact that Miss Jack
son had a phenomenally large house
for that class Of performance and
Uncle Tom" broke the record, for a
show that appeals specially to and is
pa'ronized by church-going people. 1t
is doubtful whether the amateur COM
pany could have found, all things
considered, better date than they
had, and unless they come in the
" CLOSED season" they will run up
against many overshadowing attrac.
tions in the near future.
That Miss Gallamore received ver-
dict against the city for $500, for an
alleged injury received from a fall
upon defective sidewalk, shows how
the ends of justice may sometimes
miscarry by the adroit maneuvers of
attorneys with big fee held on a pole
before their noses. Had the city's at
torneys but established the fact admit.

been a physical wreck before leaving
Kansas, and that her trip West was in
the hope that change of climate might
prove of some benefit, it would have
probably added considerable weight to
the opinion of intelligent people who
heard every word of the evidence sub
mitted that her injuries were prob
badly more owing to the results of an
operation for appendicitis than from
any jar that would cause a floating
kidney" The jargon of technical ex-
perts, it is safe to say, only served to
confuse jury, who. when locked up in
the witness-box, studied only the

There was excitement among the
BARRIERS of this city last Sunday. II
seems that there is a Union of the
BARRIERS, which prescribes rules for
government of the business done, and
when these are infringed, a system OF
boycott is sometimes inaugurated, but
is generally confined to indoor lamen-
tations poured into the ears of patient
and fOrbearing customers. In this in
stance, however, the demonstration
was marked and obtrusive. Mr.. For
stell, the victim, had infringed upon
one of the rules adopted to close shop
on Sunday. He had driven lucra.
tive business by so doing, and vigor.
Gus measures were requisite to disci-
pline him into compliance with the
Union law. The other BARRIERS not
only opened up their shops to free
shaves, but representatives were sta
toned near the Fashion, Mr.. F.'s
stand, to notify customers that free
lather and razors and willing muscles
to manipulate them were available
free at the other shops for the day.
How the crusade resulted to the boy
cotters, is not known. but Mr.. For.
stell says that he did better business
last Sunday. despite the boycott, than
he has done any Sunday, except one,
since he has been in business.

municated with, as it was thought he
had gone there, but replies were re-
ceived to the contrary. The fact that
he told Capt Monroe that he was 60
ing to Seattle to die, together with the
manner in which he disposed OF his
property for trihe and left his tools
scattered about the city, it is the opin-
ion OF some that he has taken his life,
while others believe that he will ulti.
mately turn up all right. Mr.. Hager

Rarely is such a treat afforded to
Tacomans as that offered at the Tacoma

Tacoma's credit be it said that one Of
the best and most intelligent audiences
OF the season did not fail to show genu-
inc appreciation of true artistic merit.
With the production OF last night not
one single flaw could be found. II was
perfection in every detail. 1t is seldom

seldom the people acting them are gifted
by nature with the requisites for the
roles they play"
