sibly little Annie Smith, 10 years
old, is not, as the police claim, the
cleverest pickpocket in the United
States, but she is mighty near it.
With her baby-faced, golden

York women in the fashionable
stores of that city the other day in
less than an hour.
The two children were taken to
New York by a man and woman for
whom the police are searching.
They were turned loose in the fash

RED Feather" which will re-
peat its performance Of last even
ing tonight, has not suffered by
wear and is still one of the most
capable and 'liveliest comic operas
on the road. Cheridah Simpson has
the title role and weak spots are
scarce in her support A humorous
trio supported by a strong male
chorus is one of the most attrac-
tive features of the production. In
beauty and staging the play is
fully up to requirements.
Scott WEIGH and Frances Gordon
in the leading characters are with
"Forty-five Minutes from Broad
way" which opens for three nights
Tuesday evening at the Spokane.
The production is one that bears re-
peating on account of it's own merit
and the manner in which it is pro-
duced. Its musical numbers are
among the best that have been sent
in this style of entertainment.

good Southern play last night in
THE Land of Cotton" 1t has a
kidnapping feature that comes out
all right, and carries plenty of
comedy. The hero of the piece is
played by Willis Hall, with Virginia

role that gets them what they de-
serve in the finish, as usual. The
play calls for a big caste and is
staged in Southern style. 1t is the

AUDITORIUM.

Melodrama with all the thrills,
frills and kills, is the Shirley bill
for the week in kidnapped" 1t
runs through five acts, all Of them
bad, in professional sense, except
the comedy. Two villains are re-
quired for the heavy work and a
double edition of killing is required
to bring them to their finish. The
play deals with the gentle art of
girl stealing, George McQuarrie ap-
pearing in the hero part and Jessie
Shirley as a soubrette who makes
things lively whenever she lands.

WASHINGTON, D. c. March a.
What else are congressman besides

When the Oflcial Questioner
went around and asked the sixtieth
congress what it's business was

members Of the senate and the

Is to say, they admitted that il they
were not serving their country as
congressman, they would neverthe-

JEFF Davis of Arkansas, Du Pont of
Delaware, Cullom of Massachusetts,,
Bourne Of Oregon and Knox of
Pennsylvania, besides Speaker
Cannon Of the house.
OF course, in both houses the
lawyers far outnumbered everybody
else put together. There are 81 pro-
fessed lawyers in the senate alone,
and no less than 235 more in the
house-just IL less than an even

WESTERN MINERS LEADER
Acquitted of Instigating Assassination of Governor Stcuncnbcrg--Blg
 Crowd Expected.

William D. Haywood, the famous leader of the Western Federation of Miners who was charged with insti- gatlng the assassination of ex-Gov. Steunenberg of Idaho, by Harry or chard and the Western Mino owners associations, and who after long and bitter trial was finally acquitted. is to lecture in Music hall Sunday night on the Great Labor War In the West" Haywood's troubles in this connection may not yet be at an end, for the trial of Steve Adams Is about to begin In a few days and rumor has 1t that Adams will be used by the prosecution and the authorities to further ncrimlnate Hay wood, Mover and Pettlbone and to fas- ten the charge of murder upon them in connection with other assassnatlons, Whether this rumor Is well-founded or not remains to be seen, but. how ever 1t may turn out, 1t is undoubtedly true that William D. Haywood has al- ready become one of the most con- spicuous and striking historic charac- ters in the labor troubles of this coun- try, and his personal version of the great and bitter war between capital and labor in the Rocky Mountain re- zion of the Far West will undoubtedly be most interesting 10 everybody no matter what their opinions or sympa thies may be on the events under con sideration. Haywood was the original Undesirable citizen" whom President Roosevelt had in mind. when he put b. IT. Hartman and other flnancIers of his kind in the same class. He was also mentioned as a possible candidate for the nomination of president on the so- cialist party ticket, but refused to all low his name to go before the conven- ton; and Eugene V. Debs and Benja- min Hanford were again renomlnated as the standard bearers of the socialist party.

ANOTHER FINE FLIGHT.
Thousands Sec Hamilton Sall Ills
 Drlgible Balloon.

DlTIplDlc DuiiOoHs
 The circus did not detract from the increasing interest in the marvellous airship at Savin Rock and yesterday 10000 people witnessed the flights In the afternoon a brilliant ascent was made, Prof. Hamilton after the start poking the nose of hls ship right into the wind and sending her out Into the Sound for a few miles to test the air currents for trip he intended making to Ansonia and Derby A mile in the air he found brisk gale. Coming back to the Rock he circled about the Grove maneuvering In various complicated courses while the crowd fairly shouted its delight and admiration. In the glis- tening sunlight the great envelope con tainng 7,5OO feet of hydrogen gas made an impressive scene and the click, click, click of the motor way up in midair was inspiring to the mutitudes below. The gale was little too strong for the trip to Ansonia, so 1t was postponed.
 The descent was made skillfully and without mishap with the exception that one of the propeller blades just grazed the ground and had to be replaced.
 Thousands are visiting the ship every day The interest of autoists in the ship is natural and many are examin- ing its fine engine and other equipment The vessel Is certainly an interesting study and when on exhibition both day and night should not be missed.
