'POLI'S
M,INrYRE AND HEATH.

"The genuine old-time southern darkey, with his quaint mannerisms, his bubbling humor and adaptabflity to all conditions and circumstances Is a type that lives through all changes of theatrical whirligig, If it is the real article. That same real article has been abused so often and fearfully that the determination to stick to the original delineation has been the secret of our success. The truth of this statement is found largely in the fact that we are even more successful in the south than in any other section of the country. A pretty thorough test" said James Mcintyre, of Mcintyre and Heath, who come to Polls tonight.
 We started in the south, both close students of the darkey type and believers in the wisdom of pre- senting him faithfully. From the time, many years ago, when the team of Mcintyre and Heath was formed by two young circus peanut vendors, and later took more preten- tious shape in the organization of the Great Mcintyre and Heath MluSITS1S, W6 nave UcCu lOBSIuCi III the minstrel field, in vaudeville, and now in musical comedy. Through 1t all we have held close to the line of natural impersonation, without frills or fringe, not attempting to elevate the work or force some thing unreal on our audiences. Once in great while we would suggest something different, thinking the people would like change from the old stuff, but it wouldn't go for a minute The managers would raise protest, friends and even strangers would pour in on us their warnings, and away would go our plans for new deal.
 "We have enacted the Georgia Minstrels' or Ham Tree sketch so many times and through so many years that we live and sleep in that atmosphere, yet the managers and the public demand its perpetuation, and we as Alexander and Henry will probably be telling of our min strel troubles when the last call comes."

GAR OPENS DOUMA
A Russian National Parlia-
 ment at Last.
IMPERIAL PARTY WENT BY WATER

Emperor, Empress and Children Csmo In From Tsarskoe-Selo to
 Take Part In Ceremony That
 Means Much to Country.
 ST. PETERSBURG, May 1o.-The imperial douma, the first. national par liament of Russia, was opened here to- day with elaborate ceremonies. The emperor and empress, with the impe- rial children, came in from Tsarskoe- selo to the Peterhof palace to play their part in it.
 Three imperial yachts conveyed their majesties and the members of the i'm perial family, the court and the suits to St. Petersburg. The route and other plans for the journey were guarded with the greatest secrecy.
 The imperial party came by train from Tsarskoe-Selo to the palace at Peterhof, where they boarded the yachts and came up the river, landing at the imperial dock in front of the Winter palace, thus avoiding the ne cessity of passing through the streets of the capital. Immediately after the ceremony their majesties returned to Peterhof, where they will spend the summer.
 The emperor was escorted by his personal escort of picked Cossacks and

SYSTEMATICALLY"

One of the attractive features of Shenandoah" is the character bal ance that the story shows. There are no wearisome monologues by persons in the play who are star red" Shenandoah" is a beautiful play, full of honest sentiment, pow erful dramatic interest and touch of realism that will appeal to every class of theater-goer. The cast. while working under the natural disadvantages of people new to each other. has made its work the talk of the town. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents. ladies 10 cents. Souvenir photo- graphs of Miss Ward will be distrib- uted at the Friday matinee.

 a mixed battalion composed of detach- ments from all the Russian guard regi- ments.
 The guard regiments are to keep watch over the emperor's apartments and those of the members of the court while they are present at the cere- mony.
 The first session of the parliament accomplished nothing beyond the cleo ton of officers, which under Russian procedure was long drawn out af- fair. NJ. Muromstseff is the unanimous choice of the party for president. and Prince Peter Dolgoroukof will be one of the vice presidents.
 It has been decided not to, open the council ot the empire, nntil tomorrow at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
 The dread that some unfortunate event might occur to mar the solemnity of the great day of Russia's new birth has been dissipated. Members of the Radical revolutionary parties of St. Petersburg at an early hour issued an announcement disclaiming any inten- ton of attempting demonstrations and calling upon their fellows to refrain from displaying red flags or singing the "Marseillaise' and to avoid all conduct that would tend to bring about a conflict with the police. A terroristic attempt was feared.
 It is announced that NJ. A. P. Isvol- sky. Russian minister to the court of Denmark, will replace Count Lams- dorff as minister of foreign affairs. NJ. Stolypin will replace NJ. Durnovo at the ministry of the interior.

In an hour they were far above the level of

We don't seem to have come any distance,
said Rex. "The glacier seems as far off as
ever"
"It takes three hours to get to the foot, !"
said Jean, "and we shall not get to the top

In the course of the next half hour the Eng
lish boys found themselves in a part OF the
country quite unknown to them. But Jean
seemed to be familiar with the route, and pi-
loted them upward with complete confidence.
They reached the corner of a shoulder OF the
mountain about midday, and sat down to rest.
Beside them was. precipice leading down to
the glacier, parallel with which they had now
to proceed. Above them frowned the eyerlast-
ing hills, crowned with snow, which glistened
in the bright sun. They sat down to rest for

"No it is useless" said Jean. "Look! He

| The beautiful creature lifted his head and

stood motionless in an attitude OF attention.
The boys crouched down and held their
BREATH though they were quarter of a mile
away.
Suddenly he put back his ears, turned as if
on pivot, and sprang down the rock.
Rex started to his feet in instructive pur-
suit, forgot that he was on the edge of the
precipice, and, missing his footing, disappeared
from sight with cry.
Ted lost his head and would have jumped
down after his brother; but Jean held him
back
Keep stll!'' he cried. eve may save him.
Perhaps he has not fallen far. Rex~ he
shouted
But there was no reply
Ihe young mountaineer's eye soon caught
sight of broken part of the edge down which
he might Chamber little way and have bet
ter view. He descended quickly, and Ted $
heart gave "a great leaf" OF JOY as he heard
II see himl He is on ledge not far down:
Untwist the ropel"
By the time Jean had rejoined him, Ted had
nncoiled Y co the strong rope and tied one end OF
1t to tree which grew near the edge:
Lying down full length, with his head over
the precipice he could just catch sight of Rex
lying on narrow ledge but, apparently
dead. 1t seemed miracle that he had not
fallen to the bottom. In his descent he must
have seized hold of the stones and tufts of
grass and stayed his progress before losing
consciousness.
II will go down." said Jean, decisively.
You stay at the top and don't let the stohes
at the edge fall down ON me-"
1t was not difficult feat for Jean to ac-
complsh. The descent of rope is what
most boys can manage. But it is very diff
ferent thing when rope is swinging loose
over precipice nearly thousand feet deep
However, Jean had cool head, and his nerves
were steady; SO he let himself down quietly,
not thinking of the danger he ran. He was
soon beside the prostrate boy, and to his
great relief found that his heart was still
beating.
But now came difficulty which for mo-
ment dismayed even the. plucky little Jean.
The rope was long enough for him to attain
the ledge easily, but it did not reach TO with
in nearly two feet of the rock on which Rex
was lying. How was he to. get Rex up? He
was too heavy for him to lift off the ground.
He could not support him with one hand and
Tie him with the other, and the rope was not
long enough to tie him as he lay. What was
to be done?
A moments thought solved the problem.
"Ted!" he shouted

Teds face appeared over tile edge.
You must come down to me-"
"Oh, | can't cried Ted, who was in ter
rible state of fright.
Then | must leave Rex here"
"No, don't do that. I'll come"
,., 1t isn't hard il you're careful" said JEAN
Catch tight hold with your legs and come
SLOWLY. That's right"
Trembling fearfully, Ted managed to obey,
and was soon on the narrow ledge beside his
brother.
Rex gave sigh as Ted knelt beside him,
but did not regain consciousness. If he was to
be saved, it was clear that the others must
save him.
Hold him up while tie him." said Jean.
Ted supported him carefully while Jean
made loop and slipped it securely under his
arms.
you must follow said Jean. ut will take
both of us to pull him up. Don't be afraid.
The rope is very strong"
Sc, the brothers were left alone while Jean
climbed up. But, to Ted's surprise he came
down again, and despair was written on his
face
II can't do it, he said 'The top over
hangs, SO much that can't get over it. There
Is nothing to catch hold Of or to rest my feet
A large hawk swooped down near them and
then flew away across the valley Jean watch
ed its fight and wished that he, too, had
wings.
He looked carefully around, and his eye
rested on a small boulder which projected
from the side of the precipice.
If were only on that, l could scramble
to the top" he said.
"I have it," he suddenly exclaimed.
Quick, Ted!-take down Rex again!"
They loosened the knot and once more laid

looked feebly around, but again lapsed into
unconsciousness.

He leaped into the air toward the coveted
boulder and swung back again to the ledge
The impetus took him right into the air ON
the opposite side, and he was hanging over
the glacier with nothing between him and it.
Ted seized his idea, and. as he came back,
gave him. hard push toward the coveted
spot This time he came within a few feet of
it. 1t was a terrible crisis. One more swing
and he was safe. He clasped the projecting

they never tired of wandering up the valleys

SAN PEDRO. March 27.-The little
city of Wilmington at the head of the
bay, two miles from San Pedro, is
thoroughly alive at last and deter
mined to have a channel dredged from
the lower end of Mormon island to the
south end of Canal street. in Whining
ton, so that ships can be discharged
there. To this end a meeting was called
some days go at which time the ques-
ton was discussed, but no plans were
suggested.
Mr.. Reed, the local manager of the
North American Dredging company,
was present at that time and said that
1t would cost fifteen cents per cubic
yard to dredge the canal and that
probably 10000 yards would have to
be moved to make a canal a mile long
and deep enough to float the vessels
which would sail in there. with turn
ing basin 400 feet long at the end.
These figures so astounded the citi
zens of the little city that they were
discouraged as the money for the pur
pose would have to be raised by private
subscription. Since that time a de-
cision has been rendered favorable 10
the Incorporation of the city and now
the city trustees have received a letter
from NJ. A. Boschke of Oakland for
and stationed al San Pedro for many
years, III which he states that the work
of eXcavating can be done for ten
cents per cubic foot.
Mr.. BOschke outlines a plan which
provides for a series of wharves for
the occupation of the railroads and a
waterfront for Wilmington and a shell
tered anchorage. He also provides for
a series of wharves along the Domin-
guez marshes. where many lines of
railroad could enter if they so desired.
Mr.. Boschke further recommends that
an artificial tide reservoir be eXcavated
to be filled from the ocean by each flood
tide by series Of self acting tide gates
placed in u concrete dam across the
old outlet of the San Grabriel river
The plan would also provide for the en-
trance to a harbor at Long Beach at
later date.
With this encouragement the citizens
of the town are much inspired and
there is renewed activity in the raising
of funds for the purpose. The plan
now, is to raise a portion of the money
by subscription and the balance by
the bonding of the town.
