Laugh at the Report-Yacht Is an
Old Fiibuster.

Is the handsome little yacht La
gonda, which put into Brunswick
Monday night, on a fillibustering
trip?
According to the New York Herald
of last Wednesday, the day following
the departure Of the yacht, there
was much mystery in New York
about the sailing Of the little vessel,
and it was charged that the yacht
was loaded with arms and ammuni-
ton. The fact that Haytian gener-
al was aboard the yacht when she
sailed, proba ly gave some color to
the report.
The Herald, on the date mentioned
published a picture of the yacht as
she sailed out of New York with the
following article:
One Of the oldest steam yachts in
these waters, the Lagonda, a wooden
yacht built 26 years ago, went out
last night past the marine ObserVa-
ton station at Sandy Hook on mis-
sion to Hayti that apparently is sur
rounded with much mystery. Capt.
l.. M. Trott yesterday took out pa
pers stating that the yacht had clear
ed for Port-au-Prince It was declar-
ed that an exiled Haytian general
was aboard the vessel last night
Slowed away in the hold, accord
ing to a report made to the Herald
ny a prominent shipping man, was
a quantity of arms and ammunition.
THE Haytian exile has for days
lived on board the Lagonda, while
Capt. Trott has been busy overseeing
the putting of the yacht into seawor-
thy shape. A few days ago the ves-
sci went out into the harbor on a tri-
al trip. Two days ago persons inter
ested in the yacht learned that her
departure was imminent"
Capt. Trott and others aboard the
Lagonda were seen yesterday by
News reporter and they only laughed
at the article published in the New
York Herald. They stated that the
article published in these columns
Tuesday morning about the yacht
told the whole story. She has been
purchased by the Haytian govern
ment and will be converted into a
gunboat when she reaches Port-au-
Prince.
However, there is some history at
tached to the little yacht, and, though
she may not he engaged in the husi-
ness now, years ago, during the
Spa nish- American war, she was a fill

many people in this city that the La
gonda is the same vessel which was
loaded with arms and ammunition at
Fernandina and was ready to sail
for Cuba when she was detected by
the government and all of the sup
plies were seized
The Haytian general aboard the
yacht Was shown the article in the
New York paper by members Of the
crew, Hat he did not comment On. it.
They state that he has not been
aboard the vessel for some time. but
he doarded her shortly before she
sailed from New York
The Lagonda, as stated in these
columns a few days ago, met with an
accident off this port, and put into
Brunswick for repairs She will be
here for about ten days and will then

POULTRY SHOW
PROSPECTS.

With 1000 entries recorded the
outlook is most promising for the
second annual poultry, pet stock
and cat show of the Inland Empire
Poultry and Pet Stock Association,
which will open Tuesday morning
In the Turner Hall. Third avenue,
near Browne street.
There will be every variety of
chickens on display, from the old
time stand-bys such as the Ply
mouth Rocks, to game birds of East
Indian extraction. There will be big
chickens and little chickens, tan
ones and short ones, and almost ev-
cry color now produced in the poul-
try line.
The display of cats will be quite
a sight. as 1t promises to be the
largest collection of pussies and
toms ever assembled In Spokane.
The chicken industry, with eggs
at go and 60 cents per dozen, has
grown to be one that invites the at
tention of men who look at a pro-
position from its commercial side.
When properly managed there is
money in the chicken business and
there is great opening here for
It. as the bulk of the eggs consumed
In the Inland Empire are shipped
across the mountains. At the an
nual exhibits chicken growers meet
and get line on the most approved
and productive birds. and the vari.
GUS breeds will have their champi-
Ons.

One of the neatest and prettiest
of dancing acts will be the one Of
fered by Elsie Harvey and her
Goldie Boys as one of the many en-
PERTAINING features of the excellent
program which opens at the Wash
ington this afternoon. Miss Harvey
and her boys introduce many new
and up-to-date songs and dances in
their number.
Another number of great interest
is that offered by the famous Mont
rose troupe of clever acrobats,
which will present one of the best
acrobatic acts seen here for some
time. They introduce in their act
many features of the acrobatic
work that are entirely new. There
are seven in the company, and
each is a trained athlete and aero
bat.
"Half-Back Hank" is the title of
the merry offering to be presented
by James Fl. Rutherford and COM
pany and which has been accorded
a prominent position on the bill.
The equilibristic act will be fur
nished by two clever performers in
their line of work, namely, De
zelda and Zelda, while the comedy
work offered by Joe Browning and
AL Lavan is said to be of especially
high degree.
Another comedy number that Is
reported to be especially funny will
be the number entitled "A De-
tective Detected and will be pre-
scented by Hickman brothers and
Miss Reta Merrill, three of the
cleverest comedians vaudeville has
to offer.

pears to great advantage. The play
Is not among the novelties of the
season, but it was found to possess
such excellence on the occasion of
its previous visits here that it will
justly rank as a stronger attraction
than many of the things that are
untried and unknown. THE Man
OF the Hour" is essentially an Am
erican play redolent of the soil,
and appeals strongly to those who
admire and respect the rugged vir-
tues. It's theme Is new. its charac-
ters sturdy and original, its tone
is clear and it develops the better
side of mankind. The success of
THE Man of the Hour" is wholly
due to It's naturalness; it is so true
to life that it doesn't seem like a
play.
The moral which George Broad
hurst inculcated in his play is beau
tifully illustrated in The Man of
the Hour" and the impression it
creates is uplifting and ennobling.
Side by side with the sordid feel
ings Of life and the selfishness of
men actuated by greed, are taught
the gentle and edifying and beauti-
full truths which draw heaven and
earth nearer and illustrate the les
sons of love and honesty.

At the Auditorium

"The Test" the play in which
Miss Blanche Walsh appears at the
Auditorium next Thursday, Friday
and Saturday nights, is one of the
most powerful plays ever produced
on the American stage. The prob
lens of today are treated by the
author, Jules Eckert Goodman, In
most forceful, intelligent and
highly interesting manner. He has
woven into four acts of absorbing
dialogue, heart interest and action,
a phase of modern life that appeals
to men, women and children in
every walk. In the leading role
Mr.. Goodman has given to Miss
Walsh an opportunity such as sell
dom falls to the lot of an actress.
He has gone deep into the soul of a
noble woman, and has seen her pas
sions and her emotions. Miss
vincing portrayal of all that he saw.
The play is virile, mastery and
fearless in it's presentment of
truths. The moral lesson is brought
out in all it's intensity, but is never
permitted to trench upon the en-
joyment of the work as one of true
dramatic art. The scenes are laid
in New York.
Although the play deals with the
sex problem in one of it's most vital
phases, there is not the slightest
suggestion of offensiveness. The
author has swept deftly and in
broad generalities over causes.
Miss Walsh considers her sup
porting company the strongest with
which she has ever been surround

Bertman has found that wings be-

confinement in yards more difficult.
He conceived the idea of crossing
common breeds with the Wyan-

After several seasons he has pro-
duced a fowl which has only a few

1t will be easier, Bertman says, to

putting more flesh on drumsticks

atrophy and disappearance Of the
