Theatrical Notes

Local theatre-goers this week will have
chance to see the much talked Of play
Welded and Parted" which comes to
the Lyceum on August g. 26 and 27 1t is
from the pen of Theodore Kremer, a
dramtst who has no equal In the con-
struction of novel, thrilling and interest
ing plots. 1t tells a story. clever in its con-
cepuon mad pleasing in its execution.
At the Llceum Theatre this afternoon
and continuing for three matinees ana
three nights the attraction will be the
great musical comedy, Peck and His
Mother-in-law Abroad" by Edgar Sell
den. This piece is said TO give the
proper idea of how to manage mothers
in-law and is one Of the funniest pro-
ductions which will be seen at the Ly-
ceum this season.
Apropos Of Arizona" which comes to
the Lyceum on August o. 30 and 81, a
good story is being told. The other day
Philadelphians awoke to find the town be-
| postered with the announcement: "One
dollar, fifty cents to Arizona" d" Railway
agents and booking offices all over the
! town were worried over this wonderfully
low rate Of transit and it was only after
a few thousand explanations by telephone
and messenger that people began to un-
derstand that the posters referred to the
price of an orchestra stall IN the the
atre where the drama called Arizona"
was being played.
No matter how much he may dictate to
the women Of his set Harry Lehr is not
recognized by the men as an arbiter. This
fact was brought out at the great white
bal recently given by Mrs. Herman
Oelrichs a Newport. Mr.. Lehr issued an
edict that the men as wei as the women
should be arrayed in spotless white.
/ Furthermore the men should wear white
n knee breeches and coats and shave off
their mustaches and powder their hair.
The revolt against Mr.. Lehr's order was
started by Elisha Dyer Jr. who said
that his ordinary black evening suit was
good enough for him. and if a white coat
was essential he would not attend the
bail. So far as he was concerned, he said,
Lehr's orders did not go, AMI the result
showed that he had as followers nearly

The craze for antiques and curios is
responsible for some ingenious swind-
les, but it is doubtful if many could
surpass that which victimi4ed an
American woman travelling abroad
who while in Holland purchased some
alleged Dutch pottery which proved
on close examination to be common
granite ware made in America in odd
shapes and decorated in Dutch fashion
to be sold in Holland as antique cook
ing utensils.
American enterprise is frequently en-
countered in various ways in Europe.

Rate war Still On.

| The Victoria (B. CO. Colonist of Jan
uary l, says: Steamer Ching No. OF
| the China Commercial line, is at TIA
coma on her way to the Orient from
San Francisco, loading $500 tons OF
flour at the lowest rates-the steamer
having come north to carry the rate
war to the enerny's camp.
The Ching Wo, with other of the
White Funnel liners was formerly OPP
Grated in conjunction with the Blue
Funnel line by the China Mutual Com
pany, but was transferred to the Ocean
Mutual Company and is now under
charter of the China Commercial Com
pany of Hongkong. On her trip over
from the Orient she brought about 1900
tons of general stuff. Her first port
was ManZanillo, Mexico, after which
she proceeded direct to San Francisco,
where she discharged her freight be-
fore coming to Tacoma to load a full
cargo of -four.
The big liner brought up 370 China
men taken aboard at San Francisco for
transportation home. The Chinks get
the benefit of nearly the lowest steer
age passenger rate yet reached in the
war being waged between the China
Commercial Steamship Company and
the Pacific Mail Company and its al
lies, and SIS each is all they pay for
being landed in the Celectial empire.
This is a cut of SIS on the fare charged
by the Pacific Mail steamer Doric,
which sailed Tuesday. The largest
number of Chinese out of San Fran
cisco for some time was 900 sailing on
the Lothian several weeks ago. The
lowest price in the cut-throat steerage
rate war yet reached was 81 per head,
advertised for a short time by the Pa
cific Mail Company.
