sire did 30 years ago, oddly enough,

memorable night at the Lyceum whes
Henry Irving first played Matthias"
In The Bells" there was little doubt
that he would take his place sooner or
later as tragedian OF the first rank. but
Il was not until his Hamlet was seen
at the same theater IN 1874, that he
took his place at the head OF his pro-
fesson.
III. b. Irving--whose initials stand for
Henry Broadribb--- Is 80, or slightly
younger than his father was when ne
appeared as the Prince of Denmark
II would be an exaggeration to say
that his most successful performance,
so far-that Of Sir William Beauvedere
In THE Ambassador" was as striking
I'm its way as his fathers acting in THE
Bells but this Improvisation made IL
seem certain that the younger Irving
would be soon at the top Of the tree.

Question of Enforcement In Three
Precincts

The people of Malheur county will
soon know whether or not the saloons
are to be closed in the precincts that
were voted dry, says the Malheur Ca
zette. Vale, Westfall and Nyssa are
interested.
The county court refused to il, u
the prohibitory order in these pre-
cincts on the ground that the local 81 =
ton law was unconstitutional. W. J..
Gibson of Nyssa, filed a mandamus
suit against the county commissioners,
and it will be remembered was defeat
ed at the previous term of court. be-
cause of flaw in the complaint. The
supreme court reaffirmed the decision
of the lower court.
An amended complaint was ciled in
the present court, the case tried, and
is now in the hands of the Judge for
consideration.
1t is reasonable to predict that NJ.
Gibson will win in this case. i'm which
event, 1t will be again carried &c the
