ADJUSTMENTS
MILITARY DRAMA COMING.

"The Lieutenant and the Cowboy" |"
the new western military drama,
which comes to the Astoria Theatre
next Sunday night, should not be con-
founded with the ordinary clap-trap
melo-drama, for this is a play Of
sterling worth and is presented BY
an extremely capable company. No
better play can possibly be offered to
Astoria theatre-goers this season, for
the simple reason that nothing super
ior has been written. "The Lieuten-
ant and the Cowboy" is tense, heart
thrilling drama, but so sanely blended
that the complete story clings in
ones mind long after the performers
are forgotten. II Is by no means a
egun" play, but two shots being fired
during the four acts, and neither Of
them in view Of the audience. 1t is.
on the cotrary, a strictly high-grade
production well worth the attention
Of the most critical theatre-goers.

and paid the Office Of the Morning

he made the deliberate statement that
Astoria might have a frst-class ho-
tel at an early day II she chose to
take a hand in the negotiations"
Asked to be a little more explicit,
this gentleman went on to say that
he had been directed by monied
friends, who was couversant with the
real need for a hrst-class, modern ho-
tel in this city, to make some inquiries
as 10 the humor Of this people toward
a project Of the sort; to ascertain IL
they were disposed to carry rca-
sonable per centage Of the stock in an
enterprise Of the sort, and about how
much they would stand for in deal
involving. say. $s,0O0. and report his
conclusions when they met again.
To this end he had talks with sew
eral leading people yesterday and
found all Of them amenable to the
proposition. the substance Of his in
ferences in the matter being that if
these people would take over $4,000
Of $4,000 OF the stock, the deal might
be readily eonsumated; and that II 1t
was ever started by his friend, the
people Of Astoria might bank on the
certainty Of the project going through
with commendablc celebrity and in the
completest fashion such a sum should
guarantee. This gentleman intends to
pursue the matter further and has inn
plicit faith in the busincss-like out
come OF the venture, as well as in
his friends object and ability to
launch and perfect the enterprise, and
more will be heard Of Il shortly. The
constant delay and apparent indifer'
ence Of the Weinhard people are
largely at the bottom Of this mans
inquiries and his friends interest in
the new proposition.
From one Of these sources Astoria
should receive some assurance very
shortly, and Of a decisive sort.
