one that will meet with general
good favor. The top-liner is the
sensational act of the Dumissco-

A dramatic sketch called "The

M'RAE COMPANY DEPARTS.

INfAn SoNIA AIAhA
Henry McRae and his excellent
stock company will appear here
after in Bellingham, the patron
age at the Tacoma theater since
the destruction of the Star being
insufficient to warrant their re-
naming In Tacoma. Mr.. McRae
has played in Tacoma several
months, and while presenting his
repertoire of popular stock COM
pany plays at the Star, met with
good success and excellent pat
ronage.
Since the fire which destroyed
the Star, however, although the
company played at the Tacoma
theater for exactly the same
prices that they were getting at
the old theater, patronage drop
ped off shamefully, and the COM
pany was forced to retire.
1t was stated at the Tacoma
. theater today that the McRaes
would probably remain in Belling-
ham all summer, and that there
is a possibility of their never re-
turning to Tacoma. The loss of
the popular company, which has
been declared one of the best on
the Pacific coast, is greatly to be
deplored by local theater-goers.

MRS. FISKE IN
SALVATION NELL"

Salvation Nell" the drama OF
the slums, which Mrs. Fiske is to
bring to the Tacoma soon, has
been an endless source of discus
sion, both with the general pub
lie and the reviewers. Out of the
mass of favorable comment with
which the play has been greeted,
one fact stands forth-that the
preachment which lies between
the lines of this story of the poor
is one of the most powerful in
recent dramatic literature. 1t is
doubtful If any play in de-
cade has come closer to the actual
life it meant to portray.

In Tacoma again. They show the
entire fourteen rounds of the
long-to-be remembered battle

The pictures eliminate the

are steady. smooth and distinct.
No better fight pictures were ever

SUGAR FUEL FOR MOTORS.

Suggestions are being made to the sugar planters of South America and elsewhere that industrial alcohol, making excellent fuel for driving en- zines, might be distilled from their surplus stock of molasses. Accord ing to the experiments made in the United States, says the Dundee Ad- vertiser, where the output of beet and cane sugar combined reaches some 100000 tons, about one gallon of industrial alcohol can be obtained from three gallons of molasses; and as the price of the latter is quite nominal on most large sugar es- tates, the alcohol would be cheap. Launches on South American and African rivers, which must at pres ent trust to the troublesome and lengthy process of cutting timber for their fuel, could thus be superseded by motorboats-a change which would be in many ways welcome in the rubber trade.

LOOKED FOR END OF WORLD
February 22, Fifty Years Ago, Was Set for Catastrophe, and Many Put
 Faith in the Prophecy.

"If the prophecy of a seventh son who lived a generation ago had been fulfilled Washington's birthday, 1909, would have been the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the world, or rather the world would have come to an end 50 years ago, and there would have been no civil war and no lots of things" said a man who for many years has kept clippings, and, unlike many others who have that habit, knows where to find them. Late in 1858 the lend of all things" was predicted for February 22, 1859, and in some parts of the country peo- pie became panic-stricken, and, if the story as told by the scrapbook man is true, the wealth of a New York family had its foundation in a piece of property which was sold at a ridiculously small price because of the "end' which was soon coming.

 "It's as if they had spent all these years just to perfect themselves for that game. It appeals to them, it's philosophical, it's got sense; and so they play it, inscrutable, smiling with pleasure in their hearts"
