tne pupils OF the college
Sof oratory of Willamette
university at the Grand
opera house Tuesday night, proved
thoroughly enjoyable to a big audi
ence from New Salem. The play,
written by Clara Burbank Batchelder
is full of dramatic incidents and gave
splendid opportunity for displaying
individual talent. The stage settings
were fine and the costuming showed
artistic taste and thorough under
standing of the characters and their
times. The work of the entire cast
was excellent and spoke eloquently
of the painstaking training the pu-
pills had been given by Prof. May
Belle Adams, under whose direction
the play was given.
The scenes are laid in New Eng
land in the days of Cotton Mather,
and the early Puritans, and the plot
hinges upon the deep religious fervor
and the equally profound .supersti-
tion of those days.

over the money and said she would

Huge livers.
The head of the sea lion at close
quarters Is blunt, rough, savage
PROV. 1t Is well armed for battle, the
mouth being an eight inch half circle
studded with two rows of great sharp
teeth. The body'is heavily coated with
seal brown hair, sun bleached to light
yellow on the back and sides. The
immensely long hind fiippers have big
strong claws imbedded In the fiat up
per surface several inches from the
ends of the fiipper The fore hippers
have the openings for these nails or
claws, but in the particular female l
dissected they were lacking.
The transparent wiry feelers about
the Jaw are much esteemed by the
Chinese as toothpicks. About two doz-

from the upper lip. The ears are very
small, not as large as a common cats,
and much depressed. The eyes are n
deep, soft brown, but they can sparkle
like flame In anger. When the dissect-
Ing knife laid the skin back we en-
countered a heavy layer Of fat-rich,
oily and fish smelling. The heart was
very large, fully as big as cows, and
the beast also owned four huge livers
foot and half long. The meat Is
very red and, although eaten by the
coast tribes, is too coarse and redolent
of fish oil for any save starving

most repulsive odor when in the sun.

Conflicting Love, Honor and Ambition in Paid in Full
One of the Strongest Stories of the Present

Henry B. Harris never had so much
trouble in his life as he did at a
dress rehearsal of "The Noble Span
lard" in which Robert Edeson will
star the coming season. In fact the
entire morning was taken up in get
ting the women of the company ac-
customed to wearing their clothes.
The afternoon rehearsal was called of
and the women were ordered to take
their costumes home with them and
practice all afternoon. so as to be
ready for rehearsal next day.
The trouble Is the women all wear
hoopskirts in the play. Not the mod
est affairs which were the rage q
dozen years ago, but the old-fash-
ioned genuine hoopskirts of the days
or our mothers and grandmothers
Every woman in the company takes
up at least eight feet of floor space
There is Miss Gertrude Coghlan
Desiree Lazard, Cordelia Macdonald
Ella Hugh Wood and Ann Murdock

The ladies' found their first trouble
yesterday moring when they tried to
sit down. Our grandmothers used to
have that reduced to science. II
requires care to sit down when you
have hoopskirts on. Unless you have
the knack something may happen.
sitting down with hoopsklrts on
requires a peculiar little flllp of the
skirts that places all that exaggera-
ton properly about ones feet as they
nestle tc the chair. But the women
of this Directoire age haven't got tn
knack of It, SO the young womer
who will present "The Noble Span
lard" found themselves somewhat
embarrassed when they found that
when they sat down the hoopslSirt'
shot up.
Poor Mr.. Edeson was almost in
despair. Every time he wanted to
hold hands with Miss Coghlan he had
to reach out TO her at arms length
If he tried to get up close to whisper
sweet nothings i'm her ear he had to
get his feet under the hoops and
kick.

couple of failures, which made the
stage look as If the family wash was
