Bernhard in 'Camille."

Camille" the play which Madam
Sarah Bernhard, the worlds greatest
actress, will present st the Big Rink.
Natatorium Park, Spokane, Monday,
evening, May 7, was written in 184S
by the son Of Alexa ndro Dumas who
had thrilled the world by the power
Of his pen. It dealt with the cbarac.
ter Of Marguerite Gautier-a living
women of the period-who was one
of that phase OF Partisan life which is
so inseparably interviewer with the
nationf history. She loved Armand
Duval; they went to live together
quietly, in the country; the elder
Duval interfered and Marguerite,
thinking to cave Armand from par.
entail displeasure, sacrificed all to
drive him from her by pretending
unfaithfulness. The tory OF her grad.
ually broken spirit and body finally
to the climatic and pitiful death
which L. tbs last scene OF the play,
has never been duplicated in the
worlds literature. and nowhere is
there such q scene as the deathbed
reconciliation, when Marguerite, hap
'py in the thought that Armand at
last knows her to be true, breathes her
last in his arms aud with his fervent
blessing.
When the story FIRST appeared book
form Dumas WAS so delighted with
letters from over the work that in
order that he might not be misunder.
stood, he wrote snother book. "The
Marble Heart" presenting the oppos-
lite extreme OF the same charactsr-a
woman soulless and without con-
science but the world, the sympathetic
human world-prefers to remember
in Marguerite the woman Of inherent
good impulses, and noble self sacrifice.

New Depot Story Revived.

Every year for the past seven year:
we have heard from some source the
same old tale about Ritzville going tc
have new depot. Some years it was
backed. exploited and pushed BY the
citizens in the hope of bringing enough
prestige to bear on railway officials that
they might be awakened to the needs Of
the town. Again, another year it has
apparently emanated from railroad quar-.
tiers with embellishments about the con.
struction contract having been signed
and the material on the road. Still any
actual operations have been studiously
and persistently avoided.
For fifteen years the red shack called
depot has stood in the middle of the
street and with three or four lines of road
on each side is generally as nearly hiber.
mated and as easy of access as a polar
bear in winter quarters. Agent Paskill
assured us early in the spring of 1899
that new depot would be built before
fall. Since that time brick blocks and
fine homes have surrounded the depot
and our population has grown from 500
to $500. The business of the company
has increased until it is now about $500
per day. And still the new depot propo-
sition hangs fire.
Last week few railroad officials spent
several hours here supposedly canvas
ing the situation and again we have the
old story. The need of better accomo-
dations is SO apparent that it is sincerely
hoped that there is some foundation for
the many rumors.
