"Thr Marriage of Kitty"

The average so-called comedies
mostly distinguish themselves by the
absence of a reasonable and connect
ed story, but the novel and striking
ly interesting plot from which all the
fun and humor proceed logically and
naturally, without interpretations or
horse play, in The Marriage of Kit
ty, mas caused this comedy to be
pronounced the hest of all the late
successes in that line. 1t has the
originality of the story and the bril-
liancy of its dialogue that have made
The Marriage of Kitty the success
ii is today. and when it will be pre-
sented in this city on Saturday even
ing, October 81, it is promised that
the superior cast and presentation
Will make it even more pleasing and
satisfactory than the entertainment
was last season.

Advertising Mems Convention.

Perhaps the highest salaried man
in the business world today is the
advertising man---and remarkable as
it may seem, he "just grows" Until
recently there had been no school for
the advertising man, except the school
of experience. Each one had his own
ideas of what was right, and since his
experience could be but limited, he
very frequently was and stayed in the
wrong. Advertising trade papers
that taught you how and where to
advertise came into existence, fol-
lowed by correspondence schools.
These, however, have proven to be
short of projections, and lack the per-
sonal experience feature. Millions
of dollars are spent each year in ad-
vertising space, and most of it brings
back more than the money expended.
1t has been argued that II men for
whom this advertising was done could
get together, many mistakes would
be eliminated. In order to discuss
the present advertising conditions the
merchants, manufacturers and whole
salers of the Pacific coast have
formed, with the advertising writer's,
agents and solicitors, an association
WHltu 10 NdIltu JllC L dNIhC SOdct fAu-
vertising Mems Association. Conven-
lions are held four times each year,
and matters which concern advertis-
ing are discussed thoroughly, and
with an effort to get at facts. These
conventions are most interesting,
both to the members and the pub
lie, because an effort is made to elm
mate waste and get results.
At Seattle October 23 and "a next,
the third quarterly convention will be
held.
Mr.. G. V. White, Washington vice
president, states that there will be
over 100 members in attendance, fifty
of whom will be from California and
honolulu.
Visitors are welcome, and tire
less effort will be made to make them
feel at home.
| Every bushes man who can spare
the time should come to this con-
yention.

a Great Apple Window.

There was perhaps no one thing in
Yakima last week that caught the
eye of the visitor from abroad or
caused more favorable comment than
the fine exhibition of apples in the
store window of the Greene Mercan-
tile Company. A number of boxes,
mostly of the red varieties, were ex-
hibited, and We're sold at fancy prices
before a couple of days mad passed.
They were grown by Robert John
son of Fruitvale, VIM. Irish, Mob Hill,
and George McMullen of Wide Hol-
low, and showed some of the most
perfect and handsome specimens of
the apple family to be found anywher.
There were also on exhibition some
corn grown by r. M. Shannon, plant
ed on the 4th of August, that meas
ured IA feet in height, and couple
of squash from the farms of J. l.
and W. b. Newcomb that tipped the
scales at 125 pounds each.

CATHOLICS DID WELL
DURING FAIR week
They Made Over $4,000 During the
Week at Their Fair Held on
South First Street.

Among the places of amusement
during the state fair was the old Faw-
cett building on South First street,
which had been converted into most
pleasant place for the gathering of
jolly crowds. The Catholics held a
novelty entertainment there through
out all of last week, and in one part
of the building served meals which
were as good as could be secured in
any restaurant in the city. They also
had things to SELL nothing to give
away, but when you bought. you GER
tainly got your moneys worth. There
were booths arranged in conspicuous
part of the building from which were
sold all sorts of enticing articles. 1t
usually fell to the lot of some young
man to be button-holed by pretty
and charming girl, who would insist
on his spending dime or two. OF
course, he couldn't resist. Then
there was a place to dance, and all
the girls were very fond of dancing.
Certainly no young man could be so
ungallant as to refuse to accommo-
date young lady who was SO very
fond of dancing. This little luxury
would only relieve him of something
like fifty cents. Again there were
quite a number of most fascinating
young women who were being voted
for at ten cents a throw to find out
actually who was really the most
popular. Several costly prizes were
hung up for the winner IN these con-
tests. OF them all the one that sue
ceeded in bringing out the entire
voting population of the city was the
very close race between 4diss Anna
Sandmeyer and Miss Nellie Kinney,

Agricultural College Crowded.

The college year 1866 has
opened at the Washington State Col
lege with rush which gives even
brighter prospect for the year than
was expected. Both dormitories are
crowded, and students by the score
are seeking Accommodations at private
residences in Pullman. Old students
are returning in greater number than
usual, and so many new students as
to tax every energy of the faculty to
provide for. It is encouraging to
note that these, more than ever, en-
roll in the collegiate classes, thus
showing that the high schools OF the
state are sending more and more of
their graduates to the W. s. C. AL
together the present registration is
far in excess of that at the same time
last year.
Last Saturday the State College
team defeated the Spokane high
school team by score of $40. The
Spokane boys put up plucky fight
and were game to the last, but could
do nothing to stop the fierce charges
of the college boys. The showing
made by the college team was excel
lent, and gives assurance of one o.
the greatest teams in the college his
tory.

Former Yakima Boy Marries.

Mr.. Max Boyle, who formerly lived
in this city and went to school here,
but who is now prominent young
business man of Seattle, was married
last week in Tacoma to Miss Claire
Clifford of that city. This is what
the Tacoma Ledger had to say of
the affair:
The only wedding of the week OF
more than ordinary significance was
Miss Claire Gifford's marriage Thurs
day evening to Mr.. c. Maxwell Boyle
of Seattle, which was solemnized pri-
vately at the Trinity church in the
presence of the family friends. The
ceremony was at s o'clock, and Rev.
Ii. H. Chapman officiated. The bride
was given away by her father, and
Miss Allene Nash attended her as
maid of honor. Mr.. Miller Freeman
of Seattle was the groomsman. The
bridal music at the church was
played by Mrs. Boyer of Seattle. Fol-
lowing the ceremony, large recep-
ton was given at the family resi-
dence, 619 North Second street. At
the house a marvel of handsome dec
Grating made the reception suite a
fairy bower in the brides honor. The
hall was greenery with tall ferns
and graceful drapery of foliage, the
stairway showing frieze Of cat tails
with ivy festooned above. In the par
lor, where the bridal party received,
green and white were used altogeth-
er. white tulle with asters, and Gle
mats, and bank of daisies on the
mantel, making beautiful frame
for the bride, who was radiant in
her wedding gown of white silk null,
made over a taffeta underbody and
completed with handsome lace. Dur
ing the reception delightful music was
played by Flaskett's stringed orches-
! ira. and an elaborate wedding col
lation was served in the dining ROOM
which had handsome decorations in

with fish net filed with pink flowers
