The Marriage Of Kitty"

As delightful and clever a little
comedy as one would care to meet
with is "The Marriage of Kitty with
Miss Alice Johnson in the title role.
The performance at the MarQuam the
atre last evening was well attended,
and Miss johnson was warmly receiv-
ed. For, while kitty" has been with
us before, Miss Johnson may be said
to have introduced herself to Port
land last night, although. in fact, she
sang minor part in a light.opera en-.
gagement at the Marquam some seven
years since.
In the role of the frolicsome. big
hearted. clever and very effeminate
Kitty, Miss Johnson appears to the
best advantage. Her display of the
fine art or bringing refractory male
heart to servitude is admirably and
refeshingy executed; and 1t is most
loogical that her vacilating contract
husband finally elopes with her to
avoid his tempestuous fiancee.
Action lags bit in the beginning
of the first act. owing to the neces-
sary yerbosity attendant upon the de-
velopment of the plot. The curtain
goes down on mighty clever scene.
however when Miss Johnson. with
few deft twists of her hair and cloth
ing. passes from beautiful young wo-
man to a repulsive old maid; this to
pass the inspection Of the jealous
f;nancec of the man whom Kitty is to
marry by contract in order that the
conditions of will may be fulfilled.
In this connection II may be stated
that the star bears the distinction OF
being one of the beautiful women OF
the stage.
The word clever is very much over
worked these days, and the humane
society ought to see to u; but that's

friends Of the law have tried, but in
vain SO far, to agree upon something
which will be satisfactory. But the
law is working wen, after all, for It
brings out facts which the public
would know otherwise only by acci-
dent, and probably never know at all.
For instance. Governor Douglas spent
some $4,000 last year for campaign
expenses. Current report has It that
he has given about as much this year
to the democratic campaign fund.
Somebody has plenty of money on
that side to give. Eben 8. Draper re-
ported under oath, that ne spent over
$4,000 10 secure the republican nomi-
nation for reutenant-governor. His
returns of campaign expenses for his
election show $23.S2O more. Putting
together, Douglass last year figures

renders large public service in adver-

BILE doubt that this publicity is due
to the law. Here, then, In itself, is
great public evil at which the public
will surely strike as soon as 1t becomes

other evils. II Is tolerated at pres.
ent, just as intimidation was tolerated
more or less until the Australian bal
lot gave perfect secrecy. But when
the issue shall be made. there Is no
possible doubt that this enormous ex.
penditure will be condemned as un-
democratic and the man who Is guilty
will suffer for II. because II will be
popular for the people, not the can
didates, to pay the expense Of getting
themselves 10 the polls.

CONNIE MACK
AS A PROPHET

Once more Connie Mack, the manager of
the Athletics, has proven himself a good
prophet When the Athletics returned from
their last western trip on July 2. Manager
Mack ventured the prediction that his team
would be leading the American League be-
fore the end of the first week on their
home grounds. This prediction was full
filled three days ahead of time. for the
Athletics went to the front on August e.
That lead they have. held until the present
When the team started west August II
Mack made one more prediction. This time
he said the Athletics would return home in
the lead The Quakers' hard time at ST.
Louis and Chicago's six straight victories
over Boston in three days, almost knocked
the Athletics out OF first place. but they
held on by the skin of their teeth and since
then have been walking away from Chi
cago They have lost thirteen points on
their western trip. They went away with
thirty-three points advantage and return
with twenty.
The team will reach Philadelphia this
afternoon or tonight. and a rousing well
come is being planned for them by their
thousands of friends.

INTERNATIONAL CRICKET.
United States Leading Eastern Canada
by a Good Margin.

OTTAWA, Ont, September 1.-Eastern
Canada could not compile more than I3
runs in their first completed innings
against the United States team. in the
three days international cricket match,
which commenced at Ottawa yesterday.
To this the visitors replied with a score
of an even one hundred for nine wickets,
leaving themselves with a margin Of
q runs, with one wicket in hand. Con-
sidering the slow and very difficult wicket
on which this game was begun, the advan-
tage now held by the Americans is appre-
ciable. Runs came very slowly from the
bats of the Cannucks, who could do moth
ing against Greene of Germantown-five
wickets for 26 runs-and King of Belmont
four wickets for SO runs. The top scorer
for Canada was Ackland, who played with
great determination for his 81. The other
Canadian batsmen did little or nothing
Had 1t not been for Mr.. Extras score Of
IL the total would have been one of the
tests. J. B. King and D. H. Adams were
the first batsmen for the visitors, but
Adams left during the first over, and while
King continued to play well until he got
his leg before a straight one from BrlstoW
and had to leave for 49, the others, with
the exception of O'Neill and Middleton. did
little. H R. Cartwright, jr., was unfor-
tunately run out when he looked set. 1t
therefore was left for Greene 90 and
they did, so that the American innings will
be resumed by them today. O'Neill's per-
Torrance outshone all other batsmen. and
he was much applauded during his display
by the spectators, in which were an I'M
usually large proportion of ladies.
