waltz and of the Merry Widow hat
are known equally as well where flows
the Volga and Pc as where flows the
Missouri. It's libretto Is q sparkling
light comedy Astounding in real wit, and
the entire piece is full of real "atmos-
phere' and dainty, delicate charm.
"The Merry Widow" deals with the
love story of two impetous and high
spirited young people-Prince Danilo. of
Marsovia, an imaginary country in the
picturesque Balkans, and Sonia, a
wealthy widow. In a moment of pique
the prince tells the widow that he viii
never say to her "I love you" and
their foolish quarrel, which is accent
uated by his boyish jealousy, furnishes
the groundwork of the story.
In the first act they are seen to-
gether at the Marsovian embassy in
Paris on the occasion of an elaborate
state ball. They meet again at a a
den fete in the second act and they
dance the famous waltz with pulses
bounding and all their senses alive.
But the prince will not say, II love
YOU" nor does he until the last act
finds them both in Maxim's famous
cafe at the flood tide of its gayety be-
tween midnight and dawn.
The company to be seen here is head
ed by Charles Meakins and Mabel Will
bur as Prince Danilo and Sonia, re-
spectively. r. E. Graham will be seen
in his original character comedy crea-
ton of Ambassador Popoff. Fred Frear

NORTHWESTERN FIGHTS TAX
objects TO Paying Five Thousand Dot

Freight Depot.

Judge Redick took under advisement
Thursday morning the case Of the North
western railway against the city and Doug

over the taxing OF the freight depot on
North Fourteenth street. Taxes amounting
to about 5000 were levied on this prop
erty for 1901 and 1905. which the railroad
company asserts were unjust. as the prop
erty was a depot site and therefore exempt
from the city and county taxes.
Mr., Dunn, representing the city and
Mr.. Elliok for the county. nave contended
that as long as the depot was not actually
built on the ground It could not properly
be called q depot site. Mr. c. c. Wright
for the Northwestern argued that as It was
originally stated that the ground would
be used for a depot and the building was
begun in good faith as soon as possible
that It has been legally q depot site from
the beginning.

returned yesterday on the liner Man.
churia from Honolulu, where she went
to join her husband when the fleet
touched at that place on it's cruise to
the South Seas The Admiral s wife
expressed herself as highly pleased
with the courtesy and hospitality of
the people of Hawaii.
When word was noised about the
big liner that Mrs. Swinburne was on
board there were many side glances
cast at the Admiral s wife, but, it is
said, she held aloof and chose a few
particular companions for the voyage.
To these it was intimated that she
would be granted the courtesies of the
port, that she would be taken ashore
in government boat with her bag
gage and not subjected to the two
hour customs inspection at the dock.
Along came the cutter Golden Gate,
the commanding officer armed with in
structions from the Collector of the
Port to extend to George w. Reed, an
Oakland attorney, who has been exc
cutting a Federal commission in the
Far East, the courtesies of the port.
There were no orders regarding the
reception of Mrs. Swinburne. :.
The Admiral s wife was at the side
when Reed and his baggage were be-
ing taken aboard the Golden Gate, and
this seemed to be a good chance to get
ashore, and, it is said, Mrs. Swinburne
informed Reed that she was the wife
of an admiral and had business of inn
portance which necessitated her get
ting ashore without delay. The Com
missioner. it seems, happened to be one
of those on board who had been ne
elected by the Admiral s wife, and to
her request he replied that he had no
authority to grant it.
81 am sorry, madam but this is
government vessel, and not my private
YACHT Reed is said to have murnur-
ed, as he skipped down the Jacob s
ladder to the Golden Gate, leaving the
Admiral s wife to get ashore in the
customary way.
Mrs Swinburne left here on the
Manchuria August : and met the fleet
at sea near the Islands. Captain
Saunders steamed the liner down
through the column of battleships,
close enough to the flagship for Adj
miral and Mrs. Swisburne to exchange
greetings.
As the Pacific fleet is now on its
way from Page Pago to Magdalena
Bay and is scheduled to leave that
place December ] for South America,
Mrs. Swinburne intends to stay at
Coronado.
