for the defense.
Among the witnesses for the prose.

little after 8 o'clock, a short time previ-
GUS to the discovery of the fire, he saw
the defendant not far from the build
ing in which it started. Being asked
on cross examination how he was SO
sure Of the time, he replied that he
looked at a clock as he came to a store
and saw that it was 8 o'clock.
Then he was asked If 1t was cus
tomary for boys of his age to look at
clocks to see what time they left any
store they happened to visit.

Humiliation Of the sultan.

E
The sultan Of Turkey, who never
leaves Yildiz kiosk except to go to
prayers on Friday at noon, proposed
to send various high dignitaries to re-
ceive the kaiser as he stepped on the
shore Of the Bosporus at the official
landing placegon his visit to Constan-
tinople.
The kaiser required that the sultan
must receive him in person, and the
sultan had to yield, for he keenly de-
sired the glory in Mohammedan eyes
Of having a European sovereign come
to pay his respects to the commander
Of the faithful.
The sultan was waiting, then, to re-
ceive the emperor as he stepped from
his boat, and two carriages were in
readiness, one to convey the two SOW
ereigns and one for the empress. The
kaiser overturned the Arrangement by
putting the empress into the first car
riage with the sultan, while he him
self occupied the second. So the sultan
endured the indescribable humiliation
Of driving through the streets Of his
WI capital, before the eyes Of his Mo-
hammedan subjects, sitting side by
side with a giaour woman. Nothing
could be more humiliating to the sultan
than that situation, and the most ef-
fective counterblast to his pam Islamic
propaganda would be to circulate
through all Islam the description Of
that carriage drive, If any Mohamme-
dan could be induced to believe it

SPLENDID FLORENCE ROBERTS

Thanksgiving night and the great
popularity of Florence Roberts in Wal
la Walla packed the Keylor Grand
last night with a record breaking au-
dience.
Walla Walla's favorite actress na.
lost none Of her talents since she won
the East and the play in which she
appeared last night, ''Tne Strength of
the Weak" is almost perfectly suit
ed to her brilliant powers.
The tendency Of the world to con-
denim the fault of the. woman and con-
done the fault of the man is a truth
well recognized, but the skill OF the
author of this play and the wonderful
acting of Florence Roberts bring out
the terrible injustice of it all with a
never-to-be-forgotten intensity.
The entire company supporting Miss
Roberts is good. The play is skill
fully constructed throughout with just
enough humor to relieve the tension
caused by the play of emotions which
the rest provokes. The shot at the
close is all that jars. 1t is hard to
see just why the skillful playwright
thought this the only solution Of the
tangle.
Thurlow Burger as Richard
Adams" the hero, was excellent and
c. Jay Williams, as the German bar
on, made a great hit with the au-
dience. The scene of a college girls
room in the first act was natural and
all the minor parts were taken almost
perfectly.

MUNICIPAL BLESSINGS

Walla Walla had many things FOL
which to give thanks yesterday. And
the good people of this growing me-
| tropolis rendered grateful expressions
in style becoming and satisfying. Pros
perity, health, comfort and happiness
were all crowded into the observance
of the day, with expansive appetites
to aid the good cheer and blessings.
No greater demonstration Of the
well-to-do city can be had than in the
knowledge thai no family went hum
cry yesterday and that charitable work
was almost wholly confined to dinners
such as that given by the Salvation
Army chiefly to the floating popula-
ton. Walla Walla has no paupers-
no creatures of the slums, or offscour-
ings Of criminal centers. For a city
of it's size it is freer from the wretch
edness of helpless poverty of stupid
beggary, or hereditary c~riminality,
than any other city in the world.
There are no overcrowded tenement
districts, no necessity for expensive
charity organizations and no extensive
call for public aims. It's people are
as nearly happy and prosperous as it
is possible for the different classes of
population to be. They are mostly
independent, self-reliant and self-sup-
porting. They are able to afford the
trimmings of a Thanksgiving meal and
their families are brought up to a re-
alization of at least the material side
of the day Of thanks.
AS a city of worship, a place where
Christianity grows great, witness the
immense . meeting, the remarkable
union services at the Central Chris
tan church yesterday.
AS a center of pleasure look upon
the glorious reception given to that
splendid actress, Florence Roberts last
night.
AS a resort Of healthy appetiteA.
gaze upon the streaked, anguished
faces of the yesterday diner, Is you
meet him on the boulevards.
Then give thanks that you live in
free, contented, prosperous Walla
