Missing Youth's Body Found.
North Yakima, Wash., x Jan. 19.
' George Stewart, 21 years old, came to
his death late Sunday night at the
' home of his father, Frank Stewart, of
the Outlook district, by being either
asphyxiated or smothered. He was
found buried beneath several tons of
potatoes in a cellar. The young man
had gone to light a fire in a
stove to protect the potatoes from
frost, and apparently had fallen
asleep. From the conditions as found
several hours later, it is believed that
a spark from the fire ignited sacks
near by, which, as they burned, re
leased the potatoes piled high behind
the barricade of sacked tubers. From
the fact that there was no - evidence
of a struggle, it is thought possible
that Stewart was overcome by smoke
before the potatoes covered him and
also quenched the fire.
Indian War Veteran Dead. '
Forest Grove, Or., Jan. 19. Wil
liam M. Stephens, aged 84 years and
6 months, died here yesterday. He

Pantomime Performances.
I Most pantomime cunrnclers were
' originally borrowed from the Italians
j The first real English pantomime was
' produced at a cheater in Lincoln's Iuc
; Fields In 1720. It was called "Harle
j quln Executed," and its subtitle waa
' "A New Italian Comic Scene Between
a Scaramouche, a Harlequin, a Couo
i try Farmer. (lis Wife and Others."
The performance was very successful.
't About the middle of the eighteenth
: century the character of pantomime
performances was completely altered,
chiefly because of the genius of the
famous Grimaldl. who made the clown
the first figure in the pantomime. Gri
maldl first appeared at Sadler's Well
theater, where be played the part of a
monkey. He was actively engaged on
the stage for forty-nine years.

New York's Social Season.
New York, Dec. 16 New York's
ial season is in full swing; it opened in
a blaze of glory with the swinging
back of the Metropolitan's doors late
in November, this first night, as el-
ways, drew the usual brilliant, opera
going audience, wonderfully gowned
in )the soft shades favored for formal
evening wear this winter. The white
throats, beatifully dressed hair, and
gleaming jewels distracted the atten
tion more than once Kit even the "dyed
in the wool" music lovers, who are ua
ualy immune :to clothes when Caruso
is'to be heard.
The Favored Pale Tints.
Among the prevailing Shades worn
by the gorgeous "first nighters" were
pink, blue, and white, with here and
there a stunning black frock, or one
of vivid emerald green. This shade of
green is an exception to the rule of
white, or pastel shades now so modist
there were several entire gowns; in this
shade at the opera and the most strik
ing and artistic costume noticed at. the
Horse- Show, some weeks earlier, was
also of this green. It is wonderfully be
coming to a woman with white hair
and a ymithfull face. Blake is favored
for evening, too, and served as an at
tractive touch of contrast among the
pale tones in the "golden horseshoe."
