1.-THE Denver Express. 4"

The glories OF melodrama are un-
fading and though hot-spiccd theatre
cal feats are perhaps little warm for
the season, they are still seductive in
the CAGE of "The Denver Express"
which is one of the warmest and
most rapid plays of its class. Once
again Sitting Bull, Standing COW, and
their band of braves will attack the
emigrant train and emit their war
hoops at Olympia Theater to the huge
delight Of the gallery, and the subdued
thrills OF the parquet. The Holden
Bros. have equipped the play with an
excellent series of new scenes, and the
grand ball at the Palace Hotel, San
Francisco, provides q society element
that entirely removes the suspicion
that this is wild and woolly western
drama. 1t has situations and climaxes
which are thrilling to q degree, in the
frontier scenes, but the two acts de.
voted to the American millionaires
and the scions of British aristocracy
show the skillful hand of a clever
dramatist and are satirical and anus.

proven its right to play return dates
and its interesting story, uproarious
comedy and we'll woven plot entitls

achieve. A carefully selected com.

press at Olympia Theater, next Tues.

The Performance Was Mainly Outside tn

The Performance Was Mainly Outside the
Tent.
There is . mournful side to the
levity of q stranded dramatic com.
pany, no matter how much snap and
vim may be claimed for the parts.
While the "Trip TO the Circus" Com.
pany, here Monday night, was by no
means equal to the Mansfield or
Warde combinations, nor their band
music equal to that of Sousa, nor
were their songbirds to be likened. at
all to Patti or Nevada; it would have
been . pleasing little vaudeville per-
Torrance, we'll worth the price of ad.
mission, had it not been for internal
dissension over money matters and a
disposition on the part Of some of the
auditory, knowing this, to guy the per.
formers. Let one imagine, for mo.
ment, how difficult it must be to force
a smile to the lips while the heart ia
throbbing with sadness, or to utter a
jest while the stomach clamors for re-
Punishment, and he will surely have
some charity for those who are com.
PEELED to follow such an exacting vo.
cation. The cash-box was attached by
one of the company for back salary,
and trunks. valises and other equip
ments were levied upon by landlords
and restaurant men, until about every
thing possessed by the company was
covered by leashes of the law. The
rights OF the company's share in the
Office receipts-$62-is to be deter.
mined Monday, by Justice Giles, as.
sisted by five lawyers. retained by the
conflicting interests involved.

ORIGIN OF COLUMBIA HALL"
1t Was Project Planned and Executed by the
firemen

The partition in the rear room OF
Columbia hall is to be removed to
double the capacity of the Council
Chamber, and the history OF that To-
cally historic room is therefore revived
in the memory OF our older residents.
Columbia hall was built under direc-
ton of City Council, elected on
that special issue raised by Columbia
fire company, which then occupied
cramped quarters in building which
stood on the site now occupied by
Vietzen's saloon. The company raised
1880 by subscription, conditioned
upon the city appropriating like sum
for erection of a modest structure to
accommodate, primarily, the fire de-
partment-Columbia No. l and Barnes
Hook and Ladder Co. So popular was
the suggestion, that while the alter
native of electing officers favorable to
the project was not sprung till about
noon. on election day, and many peo-
pie had cast their votes, the whole
ticket was elected. The firemen stip-
ulated on payment Of the ST. 800 sub
scription, that a room 40 feet by 80
should be reserved in perpetuity for
them in which TO hold their company
meetings and social sessions, and to
make adequate provision for storing the
apparatus. Unfortunately, however,
the contract was not made a matter
of record, and at various times has
cropped out spirit, in succeeding
councils, to ignore the agreement, and
finally the room was divided by parti-
ton, Columbia engine company re-
tanning the east half and receiving pay
from the city for the part used by the
Council. Now that the hand.engine
has been sold, and the members having
left the service or joined the Silsby
and hose-cart company, there seems to
be no one who recalls or ask for q
further compliance with the bond,
made in good faith, but not "signed
and delivered"
The name of Columbia is not de-
rived from the River OF the West, as
many suppose, but was the name on
the hand-engine bought by Chas. E.
Williams in New York town, second
hand. for $500, (the proceeds of really
grand ball given for the purpose at a
cost Of $40 per ticket). The name was
on an arch over the pump. dome in
solid brass letters, and was 80 artistic
in effect that the boys" adopted it as
the name of the company, and for the
foregoing reasons the city named the
town building Columbia hall.
