THE BURLINGTON MARKETS
Hot Weather HIS Varied Eject on
Prices of Produce,

The market prices this week are some
what lackadaisical. owing to the ener-
waiting effect OF the hot weather. The
price OF butter has congealed al 81 cents.
AS large majority OF the hens are
away on their vacations eggs have risen
to q cents and omelettes and ham and
will be correspondingly scarce Owing 10
the recent large number OF automobile
fatalities In the country It will be poss-
ible 10 buy fowl at % cents the pound
n two cent drop from last week. Oats
have taken FIVE cent slump ana It is
not vet certain just how this will effect
international relations In Europe The
gentle radish has gone from our midst,
almost unnoticed Blucberrks are drop
ping and they will probably soon take
themselves modestly away. The whole
grape family Is now In town, Concord,
Tokay, Malaga and little Delaware. II
is safe to say that their presence will
be very much enjoyed.

novelty embraces some remark
able feats of equilibrium and Jug
Cling, is presented by the Kitaban-
zai troupe. The stage setting rep
resents a fleet of japanese war

frowning fronts seemingly bear
ing directly on the audience. The
drop is done in silk and represents
the work of thirty embroiderers
who were kept at work six months
in order to produce it, 1t is said
The other feature will be what
is called naval travesty, "The
Battle of Bay-Rum," offered by
Ed Gallagher and a company OF
funmakers. The act is said to be
effectively staged.
John Sturgeon and his COM
pany will give the stirring tabloid
drama, 1.-THE Markham Divorce
Case"
The musical portion of the bill
will be provided by Steeley and
Edwards, two clever musicians
who spice their turn with comedy
Dick and Alice McAvoy will re-

of New York East Side life, en-.
titled "Herald Square Jimmy"
ANOTHER interesting attraction
will be Dorothy Dahl, singing
coincidence.

The new bill will also have its
comedy features. To begin with,

UNHAPPY COUPLES
DIVORCED

David w. Keney was granted
a divorce from Ella V. Kenney by
Judge Chapman in the superior
court yesterday upon the grounds
of cruel treatment and incompati-
bility. Kenney related a score
of unkind acts on the part OF his
wife. the most serious being that
she told him she would leave him
because she loved another man.
Mary G. Hodson was given q
decree dissolving her bonds OF
maItrimony with Harry Lee Hold
son on the grounds of non-sup-
port. The woman admits that
she deserted her husband but
showed that his neglect of her
was sufficient cause for her doing
so.

Blanche Bates.

The seat sale for THE Fighting
Hope" in which Miss Blanche
Bates will appear at the Tacoma
theater Monday and Tuesday
nights, began this morning. "The
Fighting Hope" is an American
play of today, by w. ]. Hurlbut,
and is produced under the direc-
ton of David Belasco.
Miss Bates is easily one of the
foremost emotional actresses of
the day, notably having starred in
1.-THE Girl of the Golden West"
and 1.-THE Darling of the Gods"
The new play, however, "The
Fighting Hope" is quite differ
ent in that it is in every sense a
modern play, dealing with Ameri-
can conditions. Miss Bates ap-
pears in her present play in mod
ern costume, for the first time in
several years.
The central character of 1.-THE
Fighting Hope" the role enacted
by Miss Bates, is Anna Granger,
the wife of an embezzling cashier
of New York trust company who
has been convicted and imprison-
ed. She believes him innocent,
and with the object of clearing
the name of the father of her chill
dren, enters the employ of Bur-
ton Temple, the president of the
trust company, whom she sus-
poets of being the real culprit. But
she learns that there is no ques-
tion of her husbands guilt. Tenn
