FAMOUS DEAD OF 1902.
Half q Dozen Nam es of vorId-Wides Prominence Head the List
 of Losses4

In scanning the list of dead for the year 1902 there are not many
 hames that stand out distinct and
 monumental, says Harper's Weekly. Of such, in the light of the present, gre these: Cecil Rhodes, Rudolf Virchow, Zola, Thomas B. Reed and Samuel Rawson Gardiner. Rhodes, whatever his methods may have
 been, ethically appraised, was a statesman with an imagination and an mpire-builder; Virchow was a benefactor of his race, vastly pro- longing mans life and happiness by his scientific discoveries; Zola, both as a story teller and a citizen of France, revealed passion for truth
 which was great compared with that of most of his French contempora- Fries; Reed had an intellectual and ethical equipment comparable to his physical superiority over most men of his time, and he lived long enough to know that his place was secure In the list of great parliamentarians,
 and Gardiner was, in the opinion of some, the greatest of historians next to- Gibbon and Thucydides. If the
 boys of the English-reading world were to vote as to the death of the year causing the most irreparable loss, it is not certain whether their verdict would not fall on G. A. Hen tvs name. Of men who had lived
 so long as to be forgotten, and yet
 who once were famous as poets, we A< 4 I'M TN- English and Great Britain the other Phillip James Bailey. Of men of letters prematurely taken off we mourn Frank Norris; the Scotch, George Douglass Brown-the for mer's 'sThe Octopus and the lat ter's "The House with the Green Shutters marking them as men po- tentially great. Of editors, the bril- liant and mordant Godkin, of the Nation, and the sane and conserva- tive Scudder, of the Atlantic, have
 read their last proof and penned their last exhortation. Two of Great
 Britaln's most loyal and serviceable Id1plomats-the marquis of .Dufferin
 and Lord Pauncefote-have been pro- noted to heavenly courts. Our naval
 list is much less rich in svalor, intel lectuality, and lofty sense of duty by the premature death of Admiral Sampson. The world of art misses
 the living presence of B. Constant, J. G. Vibert, Tissot and Mesdag. and the Christian church mourns preIates
 and preachers as notable as Cardinal
 Ledochowski, Archbishops Corrigan,

ANDRjEW MACK.

Local showgoers have always regard ,ed Andrew Mack with special favor, and they will undoubtedly turn out in large numbers when he appears at Polls this evening in his latest suc- cess. stThe Bold Soger Boy" This play is different in construction from what we have been accustomed to have Mack appear in, being American in locale and construction, although Mack, of course, appears in the role of a romantic and sweet-voiced young Irishman. The other characters are officers of the United States army, their families and one or two foreign CTS, who, of course, are used for the purpose of making trouble. A number of children form prominent place in the many stage pictures. Andrew Mack will be seen as Lieutenant Gerald Adair, which by the way is an as- stunned name in the play. He should make a handsome soldier in appear lance he says himself that stthe wear ing of United States army uniform just makes man feel like acting
 twice as much as in any other cos tune. ' We wonder if that also makes them fight twice as we'll. There is love and plenty of it in the construc- ltion of the play, and it all turns out right in the end, and everybody is happy. MT Mack has written a few inew songs which will have their hear ing on this evening. They are entitled Little Tommy Murphy, = sGrandmoth- ler's Songs and s'We'l Hurry to
 Church and Be Married 7 'You're My
 Star For Love You, and Mack's ssL.ui-
 Iaby." Prices are 25, 30, 75 cents, $I
 and S1.50.
 vAUDEVILLB AT THE JACQUES. There is another of the large audi
 ences that have come to be the regu-
 lar Monday thing at the Jacques this
 afternoon, and they are enjoying a
 show that has all the requirements of
 thoroughly up to date vaudeville
 entertainment. Heading the bill are
 two old favorites in the persons of
 Mir and Mrs Alfred Kelley, who are
 presenting their charming farce,
 Uncle PhfneaS." This farce offers opportunity for MT Kelley to show the
 character work that has made him ia
 mous and he IS admirably assisted by Mrs Kelley. They are so well known
 and so much liked in Waterbury that
 their reception has naturally been
 most enthusiastic. Quite as import
 ant on the bill are Harding and An lSid in their acrobatic comedy Fun in
 a Mushroom" two of the best known Iheadliners among the old time .vaude-
 vile stars. MT Harding as the clown
 and 1A.h Sid as the Chinaman intro fduees some of the best acrobatic com
 edy known to the vaudeville stage, and
 MT Poh is confident that they will prove as popular in Waterbury as they Iare everywhere on the vaudeville cir lcuits. In addition the bill includes William Cahill, Adair and Da11n, Mile

In this charge Forests line suffered heavily under the galling Fed eral fire. The last rush carried For rest, with his escort, up to the Federal commander, and the fiery southern fighter demanded surrender at the point of the pistol. Coburn had just learned that his men were without cartridges, and he told them to fix bayonets and drive Forrest from the slope. But Forests men were swarm ing in all directions and Van Dorn closing down upon the position, which was already under fire of his guns, he having passed beyond the station in triumphant pursuit It was, for Go burn, surrender or a frightful massa- ere, and he surrendered.
 The fight had lasted five hours. For rest held the road in Coburn's rear. His troops and those with Van Dorn were all mounted, and there were no re-enforcements in sight to save the day for the Federals. Coburn's men fought heroically and made the enemy pay dearly for his success. The Bed eral loss in killed and wounded was 295 men and officers, while the Confed- crates lost 858 killed and wounded, including nine officers, among them colonel and major killed. Coburn sur rendered 1,15O unwounded men.

Three Routes
Are Suggested
Result Of Road Conference Be
tween Officials Of Clatsop and
Tiliamook Counties

AZ result Of the conference held
between clatsop and Tillamook coun-
jrs at NehaIem City on Wednesday,
steps viii be taken Immediately to sur
yey route for the proposed new route
to conneat the two counties. Nothing
was accomplished at the conference be-
yolh discussing the details Of the high
way. but the. officials Of Tillamook
county promised TO have civil engin.
Ger examine the several proposed routes
and submit report TO the officials Of
Glatsop county. In this way 1t IL be-
lIeyed that a suitable route will be se-
lected, one that will be satisfactory to
the people Of both counties.
County Judge Trenc1ard, County
Commissioners Young and Clark, and
Roadmastcr Frye have returned from
Nehalem City where the conference
was held, and express themselves that
the connecting road will be construct
ed In due time. Judge Trenchard stat
cd that nothing definite was done at the
conference, owing to the fact that the
people Of TIllamook county had not as
yet agreed upon route. There ap-
pears to be some little difference OF
opinion as TO what direction the road
should take. and before anything can
be accomplished the people OF that
county will have to agree among them
selves.
Three routes were informally discuss
ed. The first OF these is by the north
fork. known as the Necanicum road in
this county. The second one embraces
the trail around Nekarnie mountain
and Arch cape on the beach, and the
third starts In from Arch cape in Clat
cop county, coming out about two miles
above the Nehaiem City road, passing
north OF Onion peak and south Of Ne
karnie mountains. The latter route, II
adopted win enable Clatsop sounty to
construct good road to Elk creek and
utilize the beach to Arch cape. This
could be done by blasting through
Hug point.
