counties the other. In King County

PERFORMERS FAVOR
PURGIN G PLAYS
Miss Izetta Jewell Says Movement
for Clean Plays Has Her
Sympathy.

Theatrical circles are in hearty accord
with the crusade of the Aloysius Truth
Society against the staging OF immoral
plays. MSS Izetta Jewel, leading woman
of the Poll Players, yesterday stated that
the movement had her fullest sympathy,
and that she hoped for its complete sue
cess.
She believes that the stage should pre-
sent only what is clean, chaste and hon.
est By so doing. she says. IL may be.
come the grand eXemplar OF the beauties
and graces of life.
Rev. Eugene A. Hannah. pastor of st.
Martins Church. and spiritual director
of St. Martins Holy Name Society. de-
clared that a similar crusade should be
conducted in every large city in the
United States. because OF the powerful
influence which the stage exercises over
youth. 1t may be potent for either good
or evil.
Infinite possibilities OF harm Turk in
a bad play. and therefore We ought TO
keep plays wholesome. Yet nothing can
be more helpful than a good play, be-
cause it inspires youth to emulate the
best"
Rev. Frank T. Benson also expressed
his approval Of the crusade. declaring
that to debauch the morals Of a nation il
the shortest way to national ruin.

insects. Or. at least. the st99 per cent
thing represents the portion OF obnoxious
insects on their daily bill OF fare. Whether
they take them a la carte or table d'hote

There are seventeen species of these
birds. The aggregate benefit of their de-

Dfrd Is Brave One.
But insect killing is only one Of the
hy-catchers's accomplishments He is the
oravest bird in the air. and fearlessly
attacks crows and hawks many times his
size. He will assail 4 hawk in mid-a!r
and follow him for miles. The great fal-
con, too cowardly to fight and too slow
to dodge. can only put on full speed and
leave the country. In this way, fly
oatchers are a great benefit to the poul-
try raisers.
This great crested fy-catcher. by the
way, is a bird OF marked individuality.
Like other bold creatures. he is some
thing OF a CRATER. and frequently drives
bluebirds and woodpeckers from their
nests that he may use them himself. One
OF his peculiarities Is to always place a
shed snakeskin in his nest. This trait
has greatly puzzled naturalists. for moth
ing in nature is without a reason. Miss
Nellie Blanchan, a woman ornithologist.
suggests that the fearful sight of a
snakeskln, greeting the newly Matched
fy-catcher, may be what causes the
feathers on its little head to stand erect.

 The first authentic, first hand news of the new Sixtymile strike was res ceived in this city last night, upon the arrival of John Lennon, who was pas- senger on the train from the inside, says the Skagway Alaskan. Mir. Len- non left on the Curacao for Seattle, where he was called by the illness of member of his family, who resides in that city. Lennon is sourdough of the deepest dye, having crossed the Chilcoot pass in the early rush of '97. Once in the land of the midnight sun, he has stayed on the "job," this being the first time that he has come out since the early days. For several years prior to the late Sixtymile strike, Len- non has been in charge of Keystone drill in the employ of the French Syn dicate aud has been prospecting the Sixtymile in the vicinity of'the Yukon. He states that where they have prose pected there have been fair results, but that due to the enormous depth, the bedrock running 125 feet, that it was not paying proposition.

There, he stated, bed- rock had been found at depth of l2 to 25 feet. There was just one hole down to bedrock at the time he had left the diggings, which was located on Discov- cry. From this hole, S34 was taken from 5x8 foot strip of bedrock. There were fifty other holes being sunk, Three hundred claims had been staked, plenty of provisions were in evidence on the new creek, the Dawson Trading company having established trading post, at which supplies were sold at an advance of five cents per pound over Dawson prices, which Mir.
