Amid a scene of enthusiasm
that has not been paralelled
since the exciting and stirring DAYS of
the Spanish war, Speaker Henderson
at $50 this afternoon declared the house
of representatives adjourned without
day. In doing so he said that no house
OF representatives since the adoption
OF the constitution had done as much
work as this one.

and especially emphasizing the perfidy
and intrigue practised by Cardinal VOL
sey, enlisted the tense attention and
lavish econums of the audience. Close
attention to detail and artistic light and
shade characterized the performance
throughout. Some marveled at Mod
jeska's aged appearance which dab of
grease paint or a flourish with the
rabbits foot of rouge would have OBJ
liberated, but this was one of the require
ments of her role; Catherine having
been much the elder of her king and
liege lord. Both Modjeska and James
were accorded warm welcome, having

knowledge the compliment ofsincere and
prolonged curtain calls. The part of
the Cardinal which James essayed in a
faultless manner, is nevertheless a
thankless role and one which antagon-
ICES his audience. The part OF the king
is more worthy of his talents as the stu
atoms of this character are more com
pick.

J. S. Alexander, of Yakima City-The
most singular thing l ever heard of
happened in connection with the search
for the dead body of Charles Lee who
died suddenly at our town last Thursday
night. His remains lay in an open lot
in plain view of people passing by and
still he was overlooked till 10 a. m.
Friday morning. Parties riding by saw
what they afterwards recalled as being
the form of a man lying there and still
they missed the remains. School child
rem saw from the school house window
what they supposed was form lying
out in the vacant lot. They knew that
a search was being made and still they,
too, overlooked the remains. Others
relate the same experience in connection
with the case. 1t is singular, indeed.

f. j. Carpenters company of players
presenting the Russian melodrama, "For
Her Sake" at Larson's Monday evening,
did not score the artistic triumph which
attended its production here last season.
Jessie NJ. Cunningham as Olga Petoski a
serf girl and Walwin Woods as Prince
Vladimir, her lover, around which char
acters the plot is woven, were not equal
at times to the highly emotional nature
of their respective roles. The play was
well patronized.

Diamond Bros. Minstrels.

Diamond Bros. midnight complex
Toned mirth provokers played before a
fair sized audience at Larson's theatre
Saturday night. The burnt cork coun-
terfeit always makes the most amusing
minstrel, and this aggregation is no ex-
ception to the rule. Many new gags and
conundrums and several local hits were
sprung, all of which caused the au-
dience to burst into prolonged fits of
hysterical laughter. Two very clever
specialties in the olio were those of
Chester, the hand balancer and eauili-
bust, and Fay and O'Leary in their
comedy juggling. One thing in favor of
the Diamond MINISTRIES is that the per-
Torrance is more along the line of
rollicking old time darkey minstrelsy.
Some enterprising but misguided mana
gers depart so far from the traditions of
minstrelsy as to introduce Oriental stage
settings in the elevated first part in
which a Japanese costumed circle
renders excerpts from the Mikado. 1t
requires lively stretch of the magma
ton to conceive of a japanese character
participating in minstrel performance.

Wednesday, March 9Th. "The Christ

The Christian " should be called the

and certainly no other play has ever at

the general theme and moral. The play,
however, is an improvement on the book,
in that it has prettier, more satisfac-
tory denouement and is not burdened
with characters not absolutely neces-
sary to its completeness, nor scenes
which do not affect or impress its total
value as a production. The play tells
the story of the lives of John Storm and
Glory Quayle, pithily, pointedly and
POLITICALLY, with just enough side scenes
to show the influences upon the life of
each which contributed to the final des-
tiny of both and climaxed youths trou-
blous errors and heartaches with life

Fred Chandler-You ask me why the
Commercial club, or some of the MEM
bers of the club, advocate the raise in
the initiatory fee from $40 to 500 Those
who advocate the change think that as
the old members have been instrument
tai in bringing the club to its present
high standard as social body and made
it the best organization of the kind in
the state, with one or two exceptions,
the new members now coming in should
be charged more for the privilege of en-
joying the fruits of other peoples lahors.
1t will haye tendency to keep out I'M

have been fitted up at a big expense and

W.

Modjeska-James engagement here. The
madam's foreign accent added much
to her impersonation of the character of
Katherine of Aragow. Even had it not
fitted the character, as it did in this in
stance, it is not Objectionable. Some
complain that they could not understand
her. Had they read the play carefully,
after having made up their minds to see
the performance, her actions would haye
recalled the lines, as the play proceeded.
One does not go to hear the lines of a
play like that rehearsed-any parrot can
do that for you, but to see Gas in this in

duced. Madam Rhea, who, during her
life time, was great favorite in Amer
lea, had much more pronounced for

Italian Salvina, it is said, could hardly
be understood at all-yet the theatre
going public went wild over them. To
my mind James impersonation of the
Cardinal was ithout fault. The severe
criticism by one of your local contem-
poraries should not be taken seriously
as the colonel seems to have been
generally out of sorts last week-even
the noble self sacrificing Ellen M. Stone,
