ADJUSTMENTS
Hsnford's Great Performance.

Hanford's "Othello' at the Keylor
Grand last night was great-at least
that was the opinion of unsophisti-
Gated Walla Walla people not reared
in the atmosphere of true dramatic art
in which Mary Ellen Lease, Carrie
Nation and Sockless Jerry Simpson
lived, moved and had their being 1t
is close question whether Charles B.
Hanford or Louis James, who appeared
here recently in "Virginius," Is the
greater actor, but the larger crowds
that are greeting Hanford throughout
his tour would indicate that he comes
nearer filling the popular conception
of the man entitled to the mantle of
the great Edwin Booth, under whom
Hanford studied and acted for four
years. Hanford puts his whole soul
into any part he acts. and last night
as Othello, the Moor, he made the
character so real that his audience
almost forgot Hanford in watching the
torture Of the jealous husband by the
diabolical Iago.
Marie Drofnah as Desdemona was
true to the part of meek, trusting
misjudged and wronged wife, showing
her versatility in changing so greatly
from the part she essayed as the
viragO Katherine, in Tanning the
Shrew," twice produced here by Han
ford's company.
Frank Hennig as Iago was the evi
genius of the whole play and he
rivalled Hanford in the plaudits of the
auditors. Miss Katheryn Roth as
Emilia, wife of Iago, was also ex-
cellent Thomas F. Mulligan made e
splendid Cassie and Caryll Gillin die
we'll as Roderigo. The other supper
was good, the scenery, stage settings
and costumes were first-class and the
whole performance meritorious, ever
to the smallest details.
| Charles B. Hanford is gaining ir
prestige every year, and to him NOR
than to any other living actor is du'
the preservation of the high ideals O.

SPORT
AUSTRALIAN LIGHTWEIGHT SHOWS UP
GEORGE o'RoURkE is HOT FOOT
AFTER A FIGHT WITH AMERl-
CAN CRACK BOXERS.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia new fighter
from Australia has come to town by
the way of Gibraltar. His name is
George O'Rourke, and he is keen for a
go with some of the best lightweights
on this side, especially Joe Cans, the
dusky holder OF two championship
titles.
O'Rourke is an Australian by birth,
but for the past few years has been
in North Africa, Europe and England.
He has met and defeated practically
all of the good men in his class in
his native country, and has also been
very successful on the continent. He
arrived on the North German Lloyd
liner Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
O'Rourke was brought to this count
try by Frank Dwyer, who saw him
fight in Gibraltar few weeks ago and
promptly annexed him.
This boy said Dwyer, "is % years
old, and is one of the best fighters at
1873 pounds 1 ever saw. I met him at
Gibraltar, where 1 found him giving
the physical culture exhibition and
fighting. He put big fellow named
Cayman, who had about ten pounds
on him, out in the second round.
saw at once that he had championship
material. 1 wrote Tom O'Rourke
about him. and we are going to match
him with one of the top-notchers in
the new Tuxedo club, just outside OF
Philadelphia.
From what 1 hear, neither Battling
Nelson or Jimmy Britt don't want tc
fight Joe Cans, and if the colored man
can make 1873 pounds, I'd like to put
O'Rourke in the ring with him."
The new fighter is a quiet young
fellow and seems to have little more
than the average ringside intelligence
In build he is very much like Kid La
vigne, having very broad shoulders
fine chest and a body that tapers
sharply to his hips. According to
Dryer he fights very much like La
vigne, being a ring general Of ability
and able to take an awful amount Of
grueling.

The chapel service this morning was
conducted by Rev. Dr. Simonds, of
Seattle.
Tomorrow morning after the chapel
service the Associated Students will
meet to pass on the revised constitu-
ton. At the open meeting of the
executive committee Saturday only
one alteration was suggested to the
new form, showing that the revision
has been satisfactory to all the stu
dents. Before it can be adopted the
constitution must be passed upon by
the faculty.
say that it is worth the price of ad-
mission to see Miss Mallory as Mrs
Jameson in Crawford and it is
worth several more to see how the old
maids play cards. Miss Mattie's meth
cd of hunting for burglars is certainly
unique, to say the least. Il roll
heavy ball under the bed every night
If it comes out on the other side, well
and good; if not I always mean to call
out John and James, just as if there
were men servants in the house. Miss
Margaret Paddock as Miss Mattie's
servant, Martha, gives some interest
ing light On the steady" question
When Miss Matte tells her that she is
to have no admirers, she replies,
please, ma'am, 1 never have but one
at time" Tickets are selling well
and the Reynolds girls have good
hopes that this final effort will lift the
debt from their piano.
The largest number of contestants
ever entered for an intercollegiate de-
bate have announced their intention of
trying for the Pullman team. The list
was closed at 6 o'clock last night.
Among those who will make the effort
are six former intercollegiate debaters.
The fact that it now seems very prob
able that there will be no debate with
the University Of Idaho makes this the
last forensic contest of the year, so
that those who intended to enter the
Moscow tryout were forced to take this
as their last chance to make college
team. The tryout by the brief system
will be held next Saturday. President
Penrose, Professor Brattain and Rev.
Austin Rice have been elected to act
as judges. Those who have entered
their names are: Gaius Greenslade,
Roy Wolfe, Heber Ryan, Roy Peringer,
Walter Eells, Lester LivengOod, Otto
Johnson, George Woodward and Belle
Wallace.

of manager so that the work of
practice can be taken up early in
March
The grounds at the end Of Second
street are to be put in shape early
next month and several improvements
in the grand stand are contemplated.
1t is said that the soldiers at Fort
Walla Walla have a good team and
that practice will be commenced there
in a short time. Several games with
the Walla Walla and soldier teams
will be arranged and there is good
prospects for some good amateur ball
during the coming spring and summer.
Three new players have been signed
for the Walla Walla team and they
are expected to report in Walla Walla
next month for preliminary practice.
One is Blackburn, a pitcher; Lyons. "a
fielder; Riddle a pitcher and first base
man. In addition to the new men
Lewis. the fast shortstop WHO played
last year, will be seen wearing Walla

lineup of the team so far arranged is
as follows: Blackburn, Riddle, Tenn
pany, pitchers; Riddle and Tempany,
first base; Buchet, second base; Fish
err third base; Lewis, shortstop;
Croker, left field; McCool, center
field; Lyons, right field. No one has
been selected as backstop, but the
management has several good catchers
on the string and a good one Will
be landed before the time of practice
is taken up.

A Fine Play.

Aside from it's strength as drama
of natural incidents of contempora-
neous life, lyon Yonson" may lay
claim to attention as an elaborate
and picturesque production of much
more than ordinary magnitude. All OF
the scenery used in the play was
painted by the best artists, from
sketches made in the great pine woods
of the great northwest. A series OF
rare and beautiful pictures is there
fore represented. There are also sew
eral startling effects such. for instance
as the breaking of a log jam. The
mechanical effects are all new and
have been improved and elaborated
over former productions. In fact
