SIR HENRY IRVING
EXPIRES SUDDENLY

London, Dot. 14-The English speak.
ing world has suffered an irrepaYable
loss by the sudden death last night Of
Sir Henry Irving, who was uni VERBALLY
regarded as the most representative
English actor Of contemporary times.
Sir Henry died literally in harness.
He was giving series Of farewell per-
fermanoes in the English provinces,
and this week was playing an engage
ment at Bradford, appearing in several
favorite roles Thursday he presented
liking Rene's Daughter" and "The
Bells" and seemed to be in excellent
health, taking the exhausting part Of
Matthias in the latter play with all
the vigor Of youth. Last night before
an enthusiastic audience he portrayed
one Of his most Enthusiastically in
telleotual parts, the title role in his
own stage adaptation of Lord Tenny-
sons Beckett with marked success.
After the performance Sir Henry
returned to the hotel, reaching his
rooms at 1880 O'Clock, when it was
observed that he was in great pain.
Physicians were Immediately sum-
moned, but before they could arrive
Sir Henry had expired without having
uttered word, in the presence of BAN
Stocker, who had been his immediate
manager for many years, and few
other intimate friends
Worked to the Last.
To the last moment Of his life, Sir
Henry Irving's heart was in the work
to which he had devoted his career
the raising Of the standard Of his art.
On Wednesday he was entertained at
luncheon in the Bradford town hall,
at which the mayor presented him an
address from his admirers.
In replying to the address, Sir Hem
~ spoke Of himself AZ one the sands Of
whose life were fast running out, but
no one Of those present had the slight
est idea that the end would come 90
soon. He proceeded in his reply to ell
oquently advocate the establishment Of
theaters by municipalities, "because.
he said, 81 believe that by this means
the standard Of the true drama, az dis
tinguished from miscellaneous enter
tainments. would be successfully up
held"

Has Seen . Great Success.


The exposition has been a remarks.
BILE success from every standpoint. It
has attracted to this city and to the
great Northwest a hundred thousand
people; the exposition has attracted in.
vestors in almost every line Of endeav-
or and it has made known to the entire
country some of the advantages which
the Pacific coast has to offer homeseek
ers. Not only has Portland benefited
by the exposition, but Seattle and Ia.
coma and Spokane and Bellingbam, in
Washington, have shared almost equal
~ in the boon, while California, Utah,
Idaho and Montana, and even distant
Colorado have felt in a small measure
benefits resulting from increased travel
and have advantageously utilized the
advertising facilities offered to spread
the gospel of the West.
Railroad people and others who deal
in statistics in such matters figure
that the good effects of the Lewis and
Clark fair as means Of attracting
homeseekers to the Pacific coast will
still be felt in 1920, and that with the
coming additional hundreds Of thous.
ands Of population to the Pacific Coast
states, will necessarily come additional
railroads and industrials Of all sorts TO
build up the Western empire.
When the Lewis and Clark exposition
was first preached it was designed to
be an affair Of little more than local
scope, but as time passed and the re-
suits Of newspaper advertising were
manifested the scope Of the fair was
increased to such proportions that TO.

1t is predicted IN some circles that
before the close Of the year 1906 a
large part of the Southern passenger
traffic will go through Georgetown to

connections at the Virginia end OF the

1t is argued that Il VIII be cheaper for
certain Southern roads to land its pas
sengers at the Union Station over the
Old Dominion line than TO cross the
Long Bridge or adjacent structures and
pay heavy trackage charges to the Penn
