CELEBRATION At OLYMPIA
TERRITORY OF WASHINGTON
CREATED SO YEARS AGO.
Many of the Pioneers of Those Days
Were There-Prinoipal Grafton Was
by Judge Hanford Of Seattle-Ban-
quet in Evening, at Which Harvey
Scott of Portland Spoke.

Olympia, Wash, March 3.-This old
town, around which cluster SO many
historic memories, celebrated Wash
ington territory's day today. Fifty
years ago, the territory OF Washing
toll was separated from mother Ore
gon and To-Day the younger generation
commemorated that event. Mingled
with them were many hardy pioneers,
ana one old man, tottering with age,
but vigorous OF intellect, was present
as the sole surviving member of the
nrst territorial legislature. This Odd
man is ID. X. Bigelow, who represented
Thurston county in the territorial
council or upper house. Advanced III
yeers, he is still living in Olympia,
where so years ago he served the new
born territory in the capacity of leg
islator. At the celebration this after
noon he made brief speech of remin-
iscence of that bygone time.
At this evenings ceremonies Gov
ernor Mcbride presided, and the prin-
cipal orator OF the occasion was
Judge c. H. Hanford of the United
States court. At the banquet at the
hotel tonight Thomas M. Vance was
toast master, and the principal orators
were H. w. Scott. the veteran editor
OF the Portland Oregonian, who was
a resident of Oregon when Washing
ton territory was created and who
lived in Washington some years after,
and Miles c. Moore of Walla Walla,
the last governor of the territory.

ADMIRAL cRowNINsHlELp.
His Request to Be Retired was
Granted.

Washington. March 5.-Two interest
ing and significant communication
have been received at the navy q.
partment from the European station
One was from Rear Admiral A. =
Crowninshield, commanding the Eur.
opeah squadron, asking to be places
on the retired list of tie navy undor
the provisions of the personnel law
The other was from Lieutenant Henry
H. Ward, naval secretary to Admlra,
Crowninshield, resigning his commits.
sion In the navy.
Prompt action was taken by Secre-
tary Moody in regard to the case of
Admiral Crowninshield. 1t was decided
to relieve him from active duty ar
once. His application for retirement
will undoubtedly be granted.
Rear Admiral Charles s. Cotton
commandant of the navy yard at Nor
folk, Va, was assigned to the com.
mand of the European squadron. ana
will relinquish his present duty at once
and start for Europe in the near future
The European squadron is composed
of the cruiser Chicago (flagship), the
protected cruiser Albany and Cincio-
natl, the cruiser Raleigh and the gua-
boat Machias
The navy department contented
itself at first with the brief statement
of the admiraPs application for retire
ment without explanation of the rea-
son therefor. 1t is known, however.
that the officer was dissatisfied with
the arrangements of the armored
squadrons following the Caribbean
maneuvers last year, which deprived
him of the further use of the Illinois
as flagship.

SOME OLD THEATERS.
PInybouses That FIourisbed In An
cient Greece and Rome.


You may wonder what there could
be injurious 20 public morality In a
theater made Of stone. Consul l.. Cor
nellus Scipio Naseia knew, but history
doesn't tell. The first attempt TO build
a stone theater I'm Rome was made a
short time before he was elevated 10
his office. II was sanctioned by the
censors and was nearing completion
when Scipio persuaded the senate 10
command 1t TO be pulled down, ad-
vancing as his reason solicitude for
public morality.
The Romans did not possess a regu-
lar stone theater until a very late pc
riod, and, although dramatic repre-
scntations were very popular In early
times, II appears that wooden stage
was created when necessary and was
afterward pulled down again. and the
plays OF Plautus and Terence were
performed on such temporary scaffold-
ings. In the meanwhile many Of the
nclghboring towns Of Rome had their
stone theaters, as the introduction OF
Greek customs and manners was less
strongly opposed I'm them than In the
city Of Rome itself. Wooden theaters,
adorned with the most profuse mag.
nlfccp|e, were erected at Rome even
during the last period OF the republic.
A magnificent wooden theater plan
ned by NJ. Himllius Scaurus was built
I'm his mdilcship 80 B. &. It's scena
consisted Of three stories, and the low
er OF them was made OF white marble,
the middle one Of glass and the upper
one Of gilt wood. The cayea contained
10000 spectators. In - B. &. Cn. Pom
pcy built the first stone thcater at
Rome, near the Campus Martlus. IL
was Of great beauty and Is said to have
been built after the model Of that Of
Mytllcne. II contained 10000 specta-
tors.
G. Curio built I'm 30 II. 6. two magnlf-
icent wooden theaters close by one an
other, which might be changed into
one amphlthcatcr. After the time OF
POmpcy, however, other stone theaters
were erected, as the thcater OF Mar
ccllus, which was built by Augustus
and called after his nephew Marcellus,
and that OF Balbus, whence Suctonlus
used the expression, per trina thea
tra."-Cinclnnat Commercial.
