A DRESS FROM DELHI.

There is story in one of the
dresses that Mrs. Bruno wears in
"Unorna," the romantic love play
written for her by F. Marion Craw-
ford. the novelist. Mrs. Bruno was
visiting Mr.. Crawford and his family
at Sorrento, Italy, last summer and
was in quandary about a costume
she should wear In the first act of
the play. She mentioned the matter
to Mr.. Crawford
The character requires that she
shall appear as the priestess of an
Indian temple at Delhi, India. Mr.
Crawford went to his study and
brought forth skirt that was hang
ing there. He said that when he
had been gathering the materials for
his novel, 'The Witch of Prague
from incidents in which Unorna is
partly taken, he had gone to Delhi
for the purpose of getting local ma
terial for the story.
The dress was presented to him by
the keeper of the temple as a me-
mentO. Mr.. Crawford had number
Of other souvenirs of his visit. and
gave the dress to Mrs. Bruno. 1t is
Of silk and gauze, and is covered with
tiny mirrors, which are woven into
The cloth. These in the changing
light reflect a Thousand iridescent
rays. Mrs. Bruno comes to the Spo-
kane theater next Monday and Tues
day evenings.

ARIZONA" At
TILL SPOKANE
Thomas nyIiC Play Is
Greeted by a Large
Audience.
PLEASING PRODUCTION

'When you are sitting in theater
and the curtain goes UP on Augustus
Thomas idylic play of the southwest,
Arizona" you take a long journey
you are no longer in your home city
in theater. but in Arizona. where
they are shy on water but have a
whole lot of charity for women.
If there is one thing in which that
clever playwright. Augustus Thomas
excels more than In others. it is that
intangible something called ''atmos-
phere." 1t is not mechanical
prop" or a stage effect. 1t is con-
tained in the dialogue Of the play
and exemplified by the actors in the
cast and the stage settings.
Mr.. Thomas has said in the past,
You are in Pike county, Missouri,
or in Taladega, Ala-," and there you
are. This time he has chosen to
carry his audience into the Aravaipa
valley and the audience is not only
willing and ready to go, but sorry
to come back.
1t has lived for a short time in a
country where the men are brave and
chivalrous. though somewhat rough,
perhaps; where a man must know
how to ride a horse and respect a
woman; and IN country where even
though a wolfram errs the men are up
in arms to defend her or protect her
from slanderous tongues in a man.
ner that would not be approved of
in kid-gloved society, because re-
volvers are things ornamental in
stead of things useful.
Mr.. Thomas has given the stage
picture of American life so truth
full, so exciting and so appealing to
the better sentiments, that one not
only admires it the first time, but
goes again and again, only to find a
new meaning and new beauties in the
phase of life presented.
The above criticism of Arizona
was written by the present writer in
southwestern city during the win
ter of 1901 and is as applicable to-
day as it was then.
An audience that completely filled
the Spokane theater last night well
coined the return of Thomas master

with all the fervor of first night.

Ordinance Vetoed
by Mayor 6yrne'

Mayor Byrne at s o'clock last night
vetoed the ordinance proposing to va
cate part of Main avenue west of
Monroe street. He gave as his rea-
son for vetoing the ordinance that
it would mar the beauty Of the juno
ton of Main avenue with Riverside
avenue and that the tract offered
the city in exchange for the proposed
vacated plot was not of proportionate
value.
1t is likely the city council will
pass the measure over the veto at the

Normal Notes.

Regular classes in the schools
gave way on Thursday and Friday
to the examinations held at the
close of the term, Friday being the
end of the first quarter.
Miss Cornish of the grammar de-
partment reinforced her work in
geography and reading by exhibits
collected mainly by the pupils of
her grade. The eighth grade has
been studying Japan and the follow
ing articles were collected as typi-
cal of the industries and customs
of that country: Porcelain vases
with characteristic decorations;
lacquered ware in PLAQUES, trays
and small cabinet; silk hand
painted fan and doilies; chop sticks;
Pap" doll in native dress; gospel
of st. John in Japanese language;
stereopticon Views. The seventh
grade has been reading Longfel-
lows poem "Hiawatha, and the
following articles were brought by
the pupils: Birch bark canoe in
miniature; baskets in woven willow,
decorated with colored porcupine
quill; various articles of bead work;
Indian pipes of carved wood and
pipestone; utensils of buffalo horn,
shirt of deerskin; bows and arrows.
The work in this line is especially
valuable, as it shows what the
grade and district school teachers
can do in their respective localities
to more thoroughly arouse an in
terest in school studies by utilizing
material to be found in the homes
and by securing the active coopera-
ton of the pupils.

10th day of April, 1861, at the very
time when the war clouds were
gathering along the southern coasts

the town of Perry was changed TO
the town of Ellsworth in honor of
the young patriot, Col. E. E. Ellis

Alexandria, Va, while removing a
Confederate flag from hotel in
April, 1861
Earnest efforts were made at the
outset to secure good buildings but
the opposition of those who had
opposed the removal to the new
location was too strong and hence
the court met in log courthouse
until 1869, while cheap, but sup
posedly tire-proof building was put
up for the county offices. In 1869
the board of supervisors consisted
of three members. (The district

adopted in 1868 but in 1870 the
Legislature reenacted the old law by
which the board of supervisors con-

building was erected at an expense
of about $4,000. The committee
