81 actually believe that If the AS
ISOLATION matter was turned over to
the womenfolks," said The Man from
the East, that it would be a good
thing for the institution, cause as a
general thing women go after a thing
in way that wins out. even IL it
does not look just right to the over
critical menfolks. If nothing else is
done about the Association think
it would be splendid idea to call a
meeting for women only and let them
get busy; they can discuss the pro-
position and take the matter up or
leave 1t alone. just as they choose

THE SPOKANE.

If you want stage demonstra-
ton of an abandoned woman, after
passing from hand to hand as the
mistress of many men, falling in
love with youth in the Paris UNI
der world fresh from the country
and winning him away from his
country, sweetheart and home ties
to live with her; of the mans final
efforts to break away from such a
union, augmented from the
woman's determination to bring
her illegitimate child by former
master then in prison for crime
into their home, and the woman's
action in leaving her lover to marry
the criminal in order to give the
child name after she has brought
the young lover back to her feet
if you want anything like that in
the line of theatrical entertain
ment. see Olga Nethersole in
"Sapho." The moral-these French
creations fashioned in the muck of
immortality are always supposed to
present a moral side-is that even
a fallen's woman's love may be
purified and refined into pure gold
and the instinct of mother love
forged into an unbreakable chain
by suffering.
So much for the play. 1t offers
the alternative of diving into the
mire to find whatever pearls may
be found. AS for Nethersole-she
plays the part. Fitch's dramatiza
ton Of the novel tones it down to
American acceptance, but Neither
sole puts all into it the lines will
allow clear down to the almost in
cessant cigarette smoking that
must have been revelation to
many of the women in the audience.
The orgy that opens the play I'M
doubtedly also produced peculiar
sensations in the same quarter.
And thrOug it all Nethersole is
"Sapho' and nothing else. She is
sOdden. furious, tender or loving as
the occasion calls for. Her acting
is cut right down to the marrow of
realism. The impression she leaves
on the western mind of average
moral ballast is that of a woman of
splendid attainments dealing in dirt
and degraded by her very art. But
in that she is true to her art and
her audience. She plays the part.
In her leading man, Frank Mills,
she has good support and her COM
pany is balanced to satisfactory
degree from a critical standpoint.
AS ia dramatic presentation the
production is strong. But it is a
false claim and an insult to pure
womanhood to argue that good
women and girls need any such OBJ
ject lesson as that to safeguard and
strengthen their moral stronghold.
The engagement closes this even
ing. A crowded house greeted the
play last evening On account of
the length of the play the curtain
is raised at o'clock.

BACK TO THE BUSH

When the umpire cries play
ball" in the 1907 season, fans who
have forked over their coin to see
things are started off right will miss
some familiar faces. Queer thing
about it is, as is always the case,
some of the ones who will be miss
ing were last season thought to be
invaluable.
There BILLY" Gilbert. who was
let. out by the Giants, Everyone
knew he was not as fast as he once
was, but most fans thought he was
good for years with the once world
heaters. McGraw ruled otherwise,
and Newark, n. j has first call on
Billy, if he don't stick to his de-
termination to quit the game.
When Doc Newton was trans
ferred from the Highlanders to
Montreal it was a big disappoint-
ment 10 him and his friends. They
though he was sure to make a bet
ter showing if given another chance
in fast company.
At pittsburg Heine PETIT, with
his forhorn voice and years of ex-
perience. was regarded as a tower
Of strength. But Barney Dreyfuss
knew his best days were past and
jumped at the chance to send him
to Louisville, where Heinie will run
the team.
The passing of Joe Kelley from
Cincinnati to Toronto marks the
toboggan of once great player.
Three seasns ago any National
League team would have angled for
him. Now all waived claim to his
services.
VIM. j. Barbeau and jim Jackson
will be missed from Cleveland, Bar
beau going to Toledo and Jim to
Columbus.
Jas. Sebrings sentence to the
Tri-state for life will prevent Chi
cago fans from seeing this fast
player in action. They had count
ed on him helping to win a second
pennant.
Robt. Wicker. when released by
Cincinnati, met the fate of the big
majority of the team. He says he
will be back in fast company some
day. and Columbus, where he plays
this season, hopes his work will
prove his words true.

Mr.. Bailey was poor man up to
1900, when he was elected to the
United States senate. Then his law
business took most phenomenal
start and within a very brief time
he was hand in glove with Wall st.
masters of high finance and dealing
in thousands where before he. had
dealt in pennies.
John P. Gruet is the main prop of
the new evidence which has been
brought out He was for II years
connected with the Waters-Pierce
Co., and got out when the Standard
Oil Co. went after him.
The most damning evidence Of
fered by Gruet are the following
accusations: .s f
First-That Senator Bailey has
received dividends from 100 shares
of stock in the Waters-Pierce Oil
Co.. amounting to something like
POD 900 a year, these shares having
been transferred to Bailey's &C
count, though held in escrow by di-
rection of Col. Pierce shortly after
Bailey, tout of pure friendship for
Dave Francis" succeeded in secur-
ing reinstatement for the tSandard
Oil Co., which had been barred
from doing business in Texas under
the antitrust statute.
Second-That a note for $4,000,
given by Senator Bailey at about
the same period to Col. H. c.
Pierce, was never paid, and that
Pierce charged it to profit and loss.
Third That Senator Bailey
sought to conceal his connection
with the. Waters Pierce Oil Co.,
knowing that it was an Illicit con
nection. In proof of which a letter
is put in evidence. written from
Gainesville, March 2S, 1901, and
reading as follows:
"My Dear Pierce-Send me New
York Exchange for $1,750. Have ii
made payable to my order, so that
it will not be necessary for you to
endorse it. Send it at once, as ]
ought to have had it several days.
"Your faithfully.
-. w. BAILEY" .
Fourth-That Senator Bailey re.
ceived $500 from the standard OH
trust through the Waters-Pierce Oil
Co. and H. Clay Pierce Immediately
after his services in persuading the
Texas attorney general to permit
the company to resume business in
his state. The original voucher for
this sum is part of the evidence. 1t
is endorsed on its face, 40 demand
loan to Jos. w. Bailey"
Fifth-That it was part of Sena-
tor Bailey's duties to fix certain
parties in Texas. One of the vouch-
ers offered in evidence is for $1,000,
made by the Waters-Pier Oil Co.
in favor of Henry & Striblins, oil
Waco, Tex, and is endorsed "Ac-
count expenses in antitrust civil!
case of state of Texas VS.. Waters
Pierce Oil Co.. at Waco" There is
telegram offered in evidence bear
ing on this loan which reads:
Andrew NJ. Finley, ST. Louis. If
Johnson approves, authorize Bailey
to loan Stribling on his note fifteen
hundred. Bailey should quiet all
Texas parties, Tell him / will see
him soon. n. c. PIERCE
