It is true that Hall McAllister’s other limbs may not be a | Burgstaller’s, but there was really |more of him than you would have | thought, and it seemed a little hard! | But one less fastidious damsel takes iplty on Periander.at last, and even ‘Nnnes is matched. Lysander remains, Performance Good Throughout the Several Acts. High Art Employed| for Enchanting | Scenery. | | { He who could not find laughter and | enchantment in “The Eternal Femi- e” that Miss Anglin and her com- pany bestow upon us this week surely could not find them anywhere. From the comedy’s engaging prologue to the final word not & moment is lost, to wit, poetry or satire of high degree. The play is by Robert Misch, whom Ger- proud to own. The translating pting, that has been done as I—by all the evidences of last night's -as the playwrighting, is by An Easter audience, with nings in charming evi- greeted the comedy last night filled the California with gay hter throughout. In uncommon ways has Mr. Misch been nsummately clever. The story , as most people now know, ugation by love of queen of Halcyone and To Halcyone, an island by women, where man is in on, come from the land Lysander and his A quaint prologue, blithely ered by Miss Blanche Stoddard, he Spirit of the Island, informs one n other lands, ¢ the main raft upon thess shores back agaln. of this realm maide nds bid t s and pray, hey're merely mem, as the curtain rises th nt to entertainment. da discover the g0 to inform T me Eupolis and -bearer to Lysander, Manes is a figure that might have been filched d Shake- speare.

Comes then a scene of enchantinx beauty, a love scene worthy to set with those of “Faust,” of “Romeo and Juliet,” and carried out by Frank | Worthing and Miss Anglin with all possible poetic iilusion. . The aqueen. vanquished by love, wooes most win- esomely and womanly the Greek war- rior. He is caught in the enchantment of the night, by the beauty and un- expected tenderness of Antiope. and is on the point of fascinations. But he hears a signal born blown by his fellow officers. They have plotted to desert their wives in order to win them to permitting them to rule the island and Lysander goes to them. Every scenic art has been brought into service here. The uncover- ed aitar of Eros, the velvet black trees egainst the moonlight, and the music, the dance of Greek nymphs preluding the scene, all combines into an {llusion as perfect as it is beautiful. And what happens afterward you may find out at the California all of this week, all of next, too, if I be any prophet. Miss Anglin in this new phase is & new and again delightful Anglin. Per- haps at the first the actress lacks & little of the classic feeling. Her com- edy In the first act is over modern. Afterward, In the garden scene, she is appealing on every side, grace itself, all tender, all girlish, and still the woman accustomed to rule. Later, scorned, as she believes, she is all the amazon queen. The portrait ranks in- deed with quite the best that Miss Anglin has yet given us. Frank Worthing was equal in honor as far as his opportunities. To begin with he looks like Apollo and surely | not even Apollo ever made love more gracefully. Walter Allen as Manes was | capital, Mrs. C. W. Brooke, the same as Lamyisto and the rest filled in with all credit. A delightful performance of a delightful play. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. Alcazar. The love of a King's sister for a cap- tain of his guards, their misadven- tures and their final happy union makes Charles Major's romance, “When Enighthood Was in Flower,” go right to the popular heart. It gives the audience a peep behind the throne, removes the veil from the lives of the great and shows them as they are— just plain men and women when it comes to loving and hating—and when we look upon them in those moods we forget the Kingship and Queenhood and we laugh and cry with them, the joyous and sorrowing things of flesh and blood just like ourselves. In the role of Mary Tudor Lillian Lawrence gives the San Francisco pub- lic an example of her worth as a ster- ling actress. She is the central figure of the play and has most to do, the which she does well indeed. The moods of the impulsive, warm-hearted, hot- tempered Mary are depicted convine- ingly, and with it all, though mere acting, there goes the personal charm of the actress. Nor does John Craig, | the Captain Brandon of the cast, suf- fer by comparison with any of his best efforts. He loves and fights as we im- agine soldiers such as he should, shed amorous vows and crimson gore with ready tongue and reliable steel. The lay breathes the spirit of romance and m has any production been put upon the Alcazar stage so0 beautifully scened and costumed. It calls for a large company and it gets one, and a good one at that. Among the lesser lights, Mary Young as Jane received many plaudits for her exccl'ent per- sonation and her charming little song. Chutes. Vaudeville performances were re- sumed at the Chutes yesterday after- noon, and the programme pleased both the matinee and evening audiences. Willlam J. Kurtis, who made such a hit at the Orpheum recently with his little skye terriers, ‘“Guess” and “Punch,” occupies the position of honor on the'bill. Louise and Willlam Lueci- fer and Emille Lea, acrobatic dancers and comedians of renown, offer a novel specialty; Cook and Oaks do some clever burlesque singing and dancing, and John T. Chick and his excellent company of comedians are entirely at home in thelr domestic comedietta, Mabel Lamson, the popular contralto, in the latest il- lustrated songs, and the animatoscope, showing many amusing and interesting moving pictures, complete the enter- tainment which will occupy the boards succsmbing to her | FEUDISTS FIGAT |BECOMES FAINT DUEL IN STREET Enemies in Mining Town OLD QUARREL REVIVED Third Member of the Burton Family Falls a Victim to Deadly Aim of a Walker —— BAKFRSFIELD, April 24—A feud | between two well-known mountain femilies, the Walkers and Burtons, that has been in existence years, broke out again in the mining town of Havilah this afternoon when Newt Walker and Dave Burton fought a revolver duel in the street The Burton and his innocent companion, & man named Bagsby.

She became faint at the | close of the morning session, necessi- |tating a hurried adjournment of the jcourt, but had revived considerably when the afternoon session was bezun. The feature of the day’s proceedings. was the opening address,of Assistant District Attorney Rand in which he outlined what the prosecution intended to prove. He declared that Young inever carried a pistol and that the | Btate would prove that the revolver rthat killed Young was bought by ;Joaeph Morgan Smith, brother-in-law of “Nan” Patterson. Rand said that he would prove by sworn evidence that. during the year Young maintained “‘Nan” Patterson he spent $50,000 on her; that “Nan” Patterson and the Smiths entered into an alleged con- spiracy to prevent Young leaving this (country and to avoid cutting off their | enjoyment of his money. Young, he | contended, acted as one marked for | slaughter from the time he received the alleged threatening letter in which, it is said, Julla S8mith, “Nan” Patter- son’s sister, wrote to Young: | '“Unless you do see ‘Nan' I cannot answer for the consequences.” ‘While the outline of the people’s case as given by Mr. Rand to-day was prac- tically & repetition of those which have gone before, it differed In some ma- terial respects. Much of the evidence given at other trials will not be pre- sented this time, it appears, while the | prosecution promises to introduce some | entirely new features. The strain of listening to the ar- ralgnment was too much for Miss Pat- terson. By the time Rand 'concluded bis address and the first witness, ‘ Photographer Cole, was called, she was | on the verge of collapse. She wavered | and her head seemed to be swimming. | She called Lawyers Levy and Unger | to her | “I cannot stand it any longer,” she !gasped. “I am ill and I am afraid I| shall faint if I am not allowed to rest.” Levy informed Recorder Goff of the young woman’s condition and the trial | was suddenly stopped. Miss Patterson was treated bv the Tombs physician during the long re- jcess and when the trial was resumed | | she appeared to have fully recovered | | trom the attack. The photographer and architect who had prepared pictures and plans of the cab in which Young was killed briefly explained their contributions to the case, and Policeman Junior then took the stand, It was Junior who ran after the cab in West Broadway soon after Young was shot and directed the cah driver to a hospital. His story was a repetition of that which he had told | twice before. | J. Morgan Smith and his wife, whose names have figured prominently in the case, made their first appearance in jcourt to-day. Wardman Edward J. Quinn, who took Miss Patterson from the hospital to the police station, fol- | lowed Junior on the stand and told of | his connection with the affair. When | he referred to J. Morgan Smith in the | course of his testimony, Rand asked that the Smiths be brought in that | Quinn might have a chance to identify | them. The witness tdentified them and they were sent back to prison. Quinn said that Miss Patterson was in a hysterical condition on the trip | | from the hospital to the station house, but that she became cool and collected when the station was reached. She had | been there only a few minutes when Smith came in. He went over to Miss Patterson, shook her hand and sat down beside her.

The District Attorney inquired closely into | the committee’'s action with reference | to the Continental Building and Loan Association.

The three witnesses agreed that| neither of the two companies me: tioned had been investigated nor wa there at any time such an investiga- | tion mentioned. At the afternoon session the prose- cution rested and the defense called Jordan to ask him if he had said. the night of his release from arrest, at the State House Hotel in the presence of Night Clerk Williams and others. in response to a suggestion by Willlams that -he @id not believe the Senators guilty: “No, and we will make those other people look like thirty cents.” Jordan sald he had no memory of saying that: The jury was then excluded and dis- missed for the day and Morehouse moved .10 strike out the testimony of Jordan, all the testimony of Grange, | all the testimony of McNab, all, save a few exceptions, of the testimony of Tichenor, all of the testimony of Har- tling except such as related to the passing of money and all of the testi- mony of Russell and Alder.

In the detailed report of felonies there is no marked advance of figures as compared with former years. The average number of prisoners charged with felony who were confined in the City Prison dur- ing the last three years was 176. This is the lowest average on record. The classified list of convictions dur- ing 1904 shows a startling preponder- ance of male criminals. Only 169 women were convicted, as against 2297 men. Of the 169 females, 126 were found guilty of larceny and three of manslaughter. Of the 2466 persons convicted dur- ing the year, 1610 were natives of the United States. The others were di- vided as follows: Germany, 182; Ire- land, 95; England, 66; Italy, 176; Rus- sia, 161; Austria, 62; Roumania, 17; Scotland, 12; Sweden, 13; Greece, 5; France, 14; Spain, 2; other countries, 51.

TACOMA, April 24.—President B F.

The water is to be used for irrigation and power purposes. Some of the water may be used to irrigate land in the vicinity of Priest Rapids, but the real purpose of the fil- ing Is to secure the water for the gen- eration of electricity for transmission to Prosser, Kiona, Toppenish, Mabton, Pasco and other towns in the irrigated sections of central Washington.
