through the death of his wife, Mar
garet Kelly Miner, one of the four
daughters of Lighthouse Dan" Kelly,
on Tuesday, he will inherit $4,000
when he is released.

hotel at Classon Point, and n evening
early last month Mrs. Miner and Jo-
seph p. Schwab, of 281 Burnside ave-,

with him. The latter and Mrs. Miner
summoned Miner to court, and he was
sent to the workhouse on Blackwells

FLAYS CRITIC
IN CURTAIN ADDRESS

New York, Jan. 1S.-Taking his audi
ence unaware at the end of the second
of "The Afinity," which is being
played in the Comedy theater Laurence
Irving, son of Sir Henry Irving, at
tackled Alan Dale, a dramatic critic on
a morning paper. The actor said he
had been unjustly criticised by Dale
and, that the newspaper man was a
blot of scum"
HE comes from Birmingham"
shouted the actor, land is therefore an
Englishman. All / can answer to that
is. as the line runs in this play, forgive
u.s. He Is a counterfeit Bernard Shaw,
and a poor. cheap, highly paid vituper-
ator."
Lee Shubert ISSUED the following
statement when he learned of the cur
tain speech:
we did not know that Mr.. Irving
had any intention of making such a
speech, and If we had known, of course
we should not nave permitted 1t under
any conditions. We regret the incident
exceedingly. I believe that the critics
have a perfect right to express their
opinions as they see fit, and it has
always been our policy to uphold and
respect the dignity of the critics posi-
ton, whatever may have been the COM
mercial effect Of his articles, for or
against any or our enterprises"

STEAMSHIP IS WRECKED
ON THE PACIFIC OCEAN

Marshfield, Ore. Jan. 1S.-The South
ern Pacific Railway company's steamer
C~zarina, which left this port for San
Francisco yesterday afternoon, lies a
total wreck on the north spit OF the
Coos bay bar, and 81 lives are believed
to have been lost. Only one member of
the crew, J.. c H. Kentzell, first assist
ant engineer, reached shore. alive. The
steamer left port yesterday morning in
a gale. Tremendous sea- were break
ing over the bar as the Czarina at
tempted to pass into the ocean. Those
on the shore who had gathered to
watch the departure of the boat were
suddenly startled to see the Czarina
sweeping toward the north spit. Her
engines apparently had been disabled.
The heavy seas seemed almost to en-
velop the steamer, and she drifted rap
idly on the spit at a point about two
miles above the jetty.
The disabled vessel pounded heavily.
and great white waves swept over her.
The crew crowded into the rigging and
could be seen making frantic gestures
for help, while hundreds on the shore.
among them c. j. Mills, of
the steamship com ,pany, whose son was
on board the vessel, were compelled to
stand idly by and see man after man
washed overheard. So. rough was the
sea that all efforts of the life saving
crew to launch a boat were in vain.
| Attempts to shoot a life line across the
vessel also failed. The distance was too
great.
