Other local papers will, in all probability morrow morning gravely state that | the reports of a change tn the stock | company at the Seattle are with-| out foundation, and then, two or they will print as news the same-story which | The Star had last week.

T. Daniel Frawley and his com- will return to Seattle next week, after a successful and lengthy engagement in Alaska. Rogers Has a New One. Under the able guidance of John R. Rogers, the members of the Ed-}| die Foy company may be depended | upon to do many things which hare! never been done before. Among) other things, Rogers declares, the; entire company formed a cooking | clab, electing Mabel Clark as the president and chief cook, during the run from Winnipeg to this city, | made over the Canadian Pacific It seems that for more than half the distance to the Coast the C. P had no diner on the train which brought the company to thia city The railroad provides for the sus tenance of Its patrons by stopping with breakfast t 8a. m., lunch at 12:20 and din ner at 6:30. This schedule did not, of course suit the company, for actors have breakfast at 11 a. m., luneh at 6:30 and dinner at 1 a.m. Therefore the company pre-empted the cook stove in the tourist sleeper, the girls an nexed knives, forks and spoons by putting the cutlery into the custom ary hiding place at the first eating men bought or otherwise secured eggs and chick ena at every stop, and before Sea tle was reached, every girl in the company could boll water beautiful and the company lived high pecially while crossing the Rocktes. | Plays which Seattle will see for | the first tim during the coming week are “The Fighting Hope” and Confessions of a Wife. Martin Beck Coming West. Eastern vaudeville papers credit Martin Beck, general manager of the Orpheum cireult, with planning a western trip in the near future Several weeks ago Beck apparently tarted for the Coast, but turned back at Chicago.

The Irish comedian was eating his lunch when three Germans and an fight out back of the hotel. Olcott, moved by a humanitarian Impulse, went to the rescue of the Germans. To his surpri the Irishman was getting the worst of It. To entrance | the Germans, Oleott stepped out! and started to sing “Die Wacht Am Rhein.” Every German st ved fighting and stood at attention) with uncovered head.
