THE SpOkANE.

The Stewart opera company
gave a pleasing production of "The
Two Roses" at the Spokane last
evening. The company as a whole
is much better than when it ap-
peared here early in the season in
"Babette." Carl Haydn has an ex.
cellent tenor voice, which was
shown to advantage in several Sc
lections last evening, especially in
Rose Marie" in the second act.
Mabel Day, a very small person,
has voice out of all proportion to
her size, and her rendition of the
leading role of Rose" was accept
able. 1t fell to the lot of George w.
Leslie to carry the comedy part of
the play, and he did it in a way
that made a hit with the audience.
"The Two Roses" will be repeated
tonight and tomorrow night, follow
ing which "Babette" will he the at

THE COLUM BIA.

"a Millionaire Tramp" which re-
ceiyed it's initial opening perform
ance for the week, is not such a
strong temperance lecture as ad-
vance agents would make out, but
it is melo-drama of the pleasing
type, with blood and thunder rele-
gated. The piece Is in the hands
of capable cast In the title role
Harry Todd does excellent work.
John Hall, as DR.. John Staley, in
the earlier part of the play has a
tendency to be too tragic, but he
redeems himself in the last act. w.
J. Mack as Ezra Trumbull, and

worthy of mention. The piece Is

GIRL HOLDUPS FLEE
WHEN Threatened
TO BE SPANKED p.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. g.
Throw up your hands!"
This order was shouted at Will
liam Gibson, collector, in Golden
Gate park late at night. The voice.
though stern, was soft and femi-
nine in tone.
ellison complied with the order,
and two girls stepped from behind
clump of bushes. One of them
held a cleaning revolver in her
hand.
Run away, little girls" he said,
and attempted to laugh, but it was
a rather nervous attempt, for all
this time that exceedingly business
like revolver was pointed at his
| head.
The holder of the revolver weak.
ened visibly Hold up your hands
she repeated. But there was
tremor in her voice.
She pointed it at Gilson's head
and her hand did not tremble. Now
the thought of being held up by a
girl with soft soprano voice and
slender figure did not please Gill
son. But the revolver looked ex
! ceedingly business-like.
| Don't you move" ordered the
| same soft voice and the second girl
drew near him to go through his
| pockets. ellison could stand it nc
longer. He decided to risk being
| shot.
ellison advanced toward her and
she lowered the revolver. "If you
don't get out of here I'll spank you
both" said ellison.
There were two soprano shrieks
and rustling of lingerie. The FEM
mime Dick Turpins fled into the
night. Fear that Gibson might
carry out the indignity that he had
threatened had taken away their
desire to become bold, bad, high
waywomen.
The police believe that the two
girls are Idel du Jardin and Helen
Benjamin, the hayward girls who
are accused of making foolish at
tempt to hold up the NJ. and M. sa-
loon at the beach. The girls were
arrested last night. s
