SAILOR TELLS OF HARDsHiPs.
Have Good Reason to Dread "Round-
ina the Horn"

Sailing ship life is the hardest Of
ALL" said the first officer of a liner.
81 lived on sailing ships till two years
ago.
"Once we were 156 days in sailing
from Liverpool to Frisco. 1t took
eight weeks to round the Horn-eight
weeks of snow and hail and icy winds.
Night after night we sailors, turning
in, took off our soaking underclothes,
wrung the water out of them, and
then slept with them under our pill
lows, so that, when we came to put
them on in the morning, they would
be warm.
Sometimes we would spend five
hours aloft trying to reef one sail
a sail frozen SO stiff, so boardlike,
that it would be impossible to make
a wrinkle in it.
Handling these wet and frozen
sails and ropes, our hands split.
These cracks, which would not heal,
are called sea cuts They are a
sailors bane."-Los Angeles Times.

eagle on his shoulder. 1t really makes
no difference to the Salt Lake matt
nee girl how far Sheridan is away
whether twenty miles or a hundred.
There is only one man in "Shenan-
doah" who can put down the rebellion
and that is Colonel Mayall West. So
there! Ask any of the matinee girls.
Miss Stewart, as Gertrude Ellingham,
makes a charming little rebel" The
artistry of this sympathetic little act
ress is again charming her many
friends. Gus Mortimer is surprising
those who thought he had no ability
outside of juvenile parts. Mr.. Nc
Leans General Haverill is a composite
picture of sternness and tenderness
contrary emotions well expressed. And
lew actors can wear stage uniform to
better purpose. Elsie Gresham as the
suspected wife is, as usual, charmine
even in her distress and sadness.
through all the smoke and cloud of
Shenandoah" comes little Mabel Flor
ence like a vivacious sunbeam. Cap.
tain Heartease had many rivals in the
audience. Zelby Roach, as the Irish
sergeant, does some clever character
work, and, with such cargo of gen.
uine blarny, must have had difficulty
in passing the custom house.
Scott Robertson as the villain is
there with the dark face and beetline
brow-a bold bad man not too darkly
drawn. Indeed Mr.. MacLean has
splendidly cast his company in "Shen.
andoah." And there is plenty of real.
ism on the stage-real cannon, real
soldiers, real horses. What more would
you ask?
Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, at the Salt Lake theatre, a series
of lantern slides, showing San Fran.
co in its past glory and present ruins
will be exhibited. The pictures were
taken by the well known local pho.
tographer, Mr.. G. E. Johnson Only a
nominal admission price will be
charged 10, 20 and 80 cents, and 10
cents at the matinee.
During the highly successful engage
ment of the Orpheum Stock company,
the well directed and efficient press
agent service of the house has been in
the hands of Mr.. George e. Carpenter.
According to popular estimation a
press agent is living descendant o.
Ananias and twin brother of Exagger-
alton. In some respects | share this
popular superstition. have met press
agents whose tendency was to confirm
the belief But here are exceptions
even in press sonts. Carpenter is
an exception. E' erything that George
Carpenter has promised through the
newspapers, MacLean has made good
on the Orpheum stage. During the en-
gagement of the Orpheum Stock COM
pany the widest possible publicity has
been given to the coming productions
given in a manner which arrested
attention and compelled perusal
Without question the press work Of
Mr.. Carpenter has been one of the ele-

Mary, Mary Quite Contrary" proved
an old dramatic friend under title
which gave no clue to former acquaint-
ance. However, it was none the less
enjoyable because of re-introduction.
Several seasons ago the University stu
dents played the same piece under the
name Of "A Scrap of Paper" Prior to
that the Kendalls produced it as the
Adventures of Love Letter" The
Kendalls were, of course, professionals
-awfully clever people. The Univer'
sity students did their amateur best
with the airy difficulties of a
difficult comedy. But it remained for
Henrietta Crosman and her capable
company to seize the gossamer fabric
of the play and weave it into such del
icacy of Interpretation as to still re
main subject of favorable comment
in critical, old Salt Lake. One of the
strange things about this muchly titled
comedy is that it came from the tren
chant pen of Sardou. The gifted
Frenchman paints his dramatic pic
lures with bold colors, tragic atmos
phere and startling lights and shades
Where did he find the delicate brush
and the still more ethereal colors with
which he painted the butterfly wings
of this butterfly comedy? In the con
servatory of genius grow many strange
flowers.
1t has been some time since that
prince of favorites, Nat Goodwin, has
cast his dramatic anchor in the trou
nf In, hn nf inn
the genial comedian fell into still more
treacherous seas and was almost ship
wrecked Time and time again he
tried to find a play suitable to his
peculiar talents. For one season OF
another his failures were as frequent
as his efforts. Despairing of the mod
ern drama, Goodwin attempted Shakes
peare. The d-attempted-is used
both in a figurative and literal sense
Nat Goodwin is even now more than
willing to concede that flirtations with
Shakespeare are a luxury beyond the
price of misguided prudence. When
Goodwin put "A Midsummer Knights
Dream" on New York stage he did
it with such scenic elaboration as to
dazzle eyes already dizzy with gorge.
Goodwin played Bottom" and he
played with such tragic realism that
the bottom almost fell out of the pro.
duction. Since then Goodwin and
Shakespeare have been strangers-no
actual quarrel, but an agreement that
each should walk in different paths.
But, If the classic drama lost an iDdif-
ferent exponent, the up-to-date comedy
has again found him who was lost. We
all hail his return into the realms of
robust fun making. In the revelation
of certain lights and shades of humor
dry, infectious humor-Goodwin
stands peerless and alone. The future
must be generous indeed to lovers of
infectious comedy, else none will ever
come to take his place. Goodwin has
written himself all over his latest
mirth provoking, "The Genius"-the
genius of the play and above all the
genius of the player. Tonight, by spe-
cial request, Goodwin will appear in
when We Were Twenty-One"-a gay
old bird flying in the branches of the
tree of youth. BY all means go and
see Nat Goodwin.

CAN MAKE STATEMENT.
Presidents of Coal Carving Railroads
 Nav Go Before Commission.

Philadelphia, June 12.-The presi- dents of the big coal carrying rail- roads will be given an opportunity to appear before the interstate com- merce commission and make any statement they may desire. Commits sioner Cockrell said to-day that in- vitations would be extended to the presidents of the Pennsylvania, Ball. timore & Ohio. the Norfolk & Vest ern, the Chesapeake & Ohio, and the New York Central railroads to appear fbefore the commission. No subpoenas win issued for the heads of stheso roads and their appearance will be entirely optional with the officials.
 You cannot condemn man with out a hearing" said Commissioner Cockrell.
 Tt has been the purpose of the commission to permit the presidents of the coal roads to make any state ments they may desire, but we are not yet ready. We want all the testi- mony we can get from the subordi- mates and then the case in Its entire ty will be before the commission and the railroad presidents"
 Commissioner Cockrell said the official notification that the commits sion was ready to hear the presidents would probably be sent to them to- morrow, but he did not believe that they would be heard before June 21.

WERE BURNED OUT
New Workers Had to Flee For Their Lives, and a Score of Them
 Were Injured
THE LOSS IS HALF A MILLION

New York, June 12.-Property val ued at more than half million dol lars was destroyed, nearly score of persons were injured and many per- sons were forced to flee from their homes in scanty attire by fire in the block bounded by Bergen and Brook avenues and 147th and 14Sth streets, the Bronx, early to-day. The principal loss falls upon the Stuy- vesant and Wheelock Piano compan- ies and Charles Rieger's Sons, mak- CTS of bank and store fixtures. The plants of all these concerns were practically destroyed, and the stables owned by the Rieger firm also was burned. One hundred pianos intend- ed for San Francisco were destroyed. All the injured were firemen. None was fatally hurt. .,:.
 The fire started in the Rieger sta. ble. Mrs Annie Doberstein, who lived on the top floor of one of the tene- ments which was threatened, gave birth to baby boy while the fire was at its height. The mother and infant were removed to a hospital.

One at Rochester Also.

Rochester, N. Y, June 12.-The most disastrous fire in the history of Sodus broke out at 2:30 o'clock this morning in Frank D. Gaylord's general store on East Main street. The fire spread to the store of Abram c. Shaw in which was located the Ro- chester and Sodus Bay Railway office. Then to the roof of Glen B. Reeves meat market and into the Sodus Grange lodge room and then to the post office, the millinery store, of Mrs c. J. Williams and Colvin's drug store. The grocery store of William H. Richardson was gutted, and a number of other buildings destroyed.
 The Myers hospital caught fire but was saved. If this building had not been saved it is probable that the en- tire village would have been wiped out. The eastern half of the village is practically annihilated. It is esti- mated that the loss will be over $100,000. The origin of the fire is mystery.
