The New Jubticb Court. Justice F. L.
Olson has certainly fitted up an attractive
and convenient room for the East Side
Justice Court district at the east end of
Burnside street. He occupies the entire
floor of the building above the basement.
There is an ample court room, with jury
room at the rear end. Justice Olson's
office opens off from the court room, and
contains a good library. Clerk Quinlan s
office is also in a separate room and be
hind a railing for the better protection of
public papers and documents. On the
whole, the arrangements are systematic
and better than ever before maintained on
the Bast Side. As soon as the general
public becomes familiar with the new lo
cation there will be no objection, it is
thought, to the new place from any point
of view.
Says Mistake Is Made. Councilman
Kellaher says that a mistake has been
made In holding up the improvement of
East Stark street until the subway is
built. He thinks it will be some time be
fore the subway is built, and all this
time this Important street will remain
closed east from Union avenue. It Is not
probable that an effort will be made to
Improve East Stark east of Grand avenue
to Bast Twentieth and finally to East
Fortieth as contemplated, and the whole
matter will now be held up indefinitely
lor the subway. Agitation for the Im
provement was started a year and a
half ago.
Mayor Valentine ia Postmaster.
Mayor F. W. Valentine is the postmaster
of 9t. Johns, and it appears that the ef
forts of the friends of Mrs. A. S. Clark to
have her retained will be futile. Senator
Fulton was Informed that a change was
to be made in the postoffice by the postal
authorities and he was asked to recom
mend some one. The Senator asked for
the name of a good man, and that of
Mayor Valentine was sent, which he
handed to the First Assistant Postmaster
The appointment was then made and con
firmed, and the whole matter now appears
to have been settled. He will take charge
as soon as hu commission arrives.
Law Graduates Will Hold Reunion.
The class which has recently completed
the course of the University of Oregon
law department will hold a reunion Mon
day evening at 7:30 o'clock on the seventh
floor of the Chamber of Commerce build
ing. Heretofore all of the classes of the
law department have become disorganized
upon graduation, but the class of 1906 is
planning to form a permanent organiia
tion and will probably do so at the meet
ing Monday. There are 21 members of
the class.
His First Case. Justice Olson tried his
first case yesterday morning at the new
Bast Side Justice Court, at the corner of
Bast B-urnside and Third street. It was

Bonds Have Rough Road. The munici

advertised in the expectation that they
will be taken up quickly. A technicality
caused them to be thrown out. Attorney
Greene made an earnest appeal at the
last meeting of the Council to pass the
ordinance providing for the readvertise-
ment, and it was done in accordance wltn
his request, although Councilman H. W.
King voted aeainst the ordinance, lor ne
thought that another technicality would
be raised and the bonds again be thrown
out. Recorder Thorndyke said yesterday
that he was confident that the boads
would have several bids and that there
would be good offers for them. The issue
is $10,000, and will be used to build the
city hall. St Johns has had a rough
time with Its' bonds, all because of its
peculiar charter.

N
AT GOODWIN may have been fool
ing some of late years. I think he
is doing the best work of his career
He gave us a play last night at the
Heilig Theater that Is better in its way
than "Charley's Aunt." It is a delicious
satire on the pretensions of the usual
social whirl as to art. The sons of De
Mllle, the famous collaborator with David
Belasco, contrived the screed. It was
tried out by another set of stage people
before Mr. Goodwin got hold of it and
burnished it up individually into its pres
ent ecstatically amusing shape.
A splendid company supports Mr. Good
win, in which is included one of the most
beautiful women who has ever strode the
American stage Miss Bdna Goodrich, who
played sweet Nell, of "The Genius," a
Trilby-like role In which she had ample
chance to show her clasping, appealing,
bewitching natural temperament. As to
beauty, she is in the class with Maxlne
EllioU, Ethel Barrymore and Marlon Bar
hyte. In many tales, and particularly in Kip
ling's suggestions, has the mischievous
Idea cropped up of one fellow pretending
to produce loads of works of art, signing
them all, when in reality they are all
created by some penniless fellow-artists
who have not gained public recognition
heretofore. In working out this theme in
the play the De MUles have drawn three
of the jolliest musketeers that ever were
borrowed from Du Maurier or from Gia
cosa's and Puccini's "La Boheme." Not
since the lovely story of Little Billy's and
The Laird's Latin Quarter swelled the
hearts of all civilization has there been
put so human, so true and so delightful a
touch as these three starving men who
are raised to affluence by the scheme that
Jack Spencer springs upon them to make
himself The Genius.
Jack is engaged to a girl who has the
artistic bug In extremis. He is a sturdy,
wealthy autbmobile lad. entirely eiiilt-
less of any knowledge whatsoever about
art. To win the fair lady he must brush
up on the subject, and therefore butts
into the sky-parlor of the three artists,
who are, like Puccini's heroes, a mu
sician, a painter and a sculptor.
He wants them to coach him at first,
but soon enters into partnership with
them to sign all their work and induce
the hated art critic of New York to
write him up as a genius.
The plan works. Jack becomes cele
brated and goes through all the tribula
tions that attend fame. In the first act
comes Nell to the artists who have
starved for breakfast, and brings them
a pie. Here is the Trilby innocence
beauty, tenderness, perfection of coma
raderie. Goodwin in whiz-wagon rig
tips this Bohemian coterie upside down
with his breezlness. But he has his way.
Second act brings us to Jack's Fifth
avenue studio, where the genius reigns
supreme. Throughout the scenes there
are innumerable lines of wit and spark
ling satire on the foibles and the ridicu
lous customs of modern ways. The
artist's special hatred Is a pretender
among the art critics, whose word is
law unto the vapid fashionable set, but
who knows only a smattering of the
technicalities of art, and is a fraud In
fact. A caricature of the part, Glutter
buck, is taken well by H. G. Lonsdale.
Would-be pupils call and want to have
the master's tutelage. A millionaire buys
a picture for a large sum. The artists
are in clover. Dick is getting on. Nell
comes to teach him sculpture, but he
wants to make love to her, for he has
already seen that his society inamorata
is a shallow thing, and Nell and he are
experiencing the old, old experience that
Is always new and is always the sweetest
story ever told.
To shield Nell, who does not under
stand, she is put behind a screen when
the fiancee arrives, and of course Jack
is in favor with the high lady since he
has become a genius and understands
art.
The last act is a reception, at which a
social throng, with all the pasty super-
V '
bsbbsbbbbsbssbbbbbbbbbbsss!
ficiallty of such gatherings is present.
They admire Jack's pictures and discourse
upon them. Nell enters one of the most
radiant feminine pictures I ever saw upon
any stage. The audience last night burst
into applause at her stunning perfection.
Jack finally declares that he is a fraud,
but the art critic makes the people be
lieve that he Is Insane. At last, in one of
the best burlesque scenes Nat Goodwin
ever participated, the high-born lady is
induced to give Jack up because she can
not be his inspiration and his wife in
curl papers at the same time. Jack passes
the baggage over to the art critic with:
"Bless you, my children, and 23."
He then asks Nell, "Will you?" with
out delay.
Nell is willing, and Nat remarks: "Out
there is a world of men and women
real men and women. Let's go to it, and
live in it. Let's say good-bye to this un
real, fake this world of pretense and
fraud."
Nat Goodwin has a good vehicle for his
uncommon talent in this genius play. He
flashes again his striking contrasts from
serious pathos, to rippling comedy, to
open burlesque, to mock tragedy, to sharp
cynicism. His inimitable naturalness and
sharp, knife-edge finish Is ever apparent.
He is the easiest actor on the stage. He
Is familiar with the minutest technicali
ties of gesture. He knows the value of
a twirk of the finger, the lift of an eye
lid, the least shade of vocal intonation,
the accelerando of utterance. The good
taste and thorough smoothness of his
performance last night are remarkable.
He convulses you with the absolute ab
surdity of some of the situations. No
comedian alive today can make a point
better than this Mr. Goodwin. He never
overdoes a thing. He has the knack of
hitting the nail on the head every time
he strikes. Being an actor of large ex
perience in many lines, he Is au fait in
all the tricks and the business that can
complete a role to a polish and excel
lence of workmanship that fairly de
light a discriminating auditor. There are
plenty of acceptable puns In the play, and
a few lines that stick In the memory. The
epigrams are exaggerated and the aphor
isms strained, but tne zip ana go ana
relish of the whole skit is Goodwinesque,
which is paying it a high compliment. It
Is one of the most entertaining pieces I
have seen since I first laughed aver
"Charlie's Aunt."
"The Genius" Is repeated this afternoon,
and "When We Were Twenty-One" closes
Nat Goodwin's engagement tonight.

INSURANCE COMPANY
OF NORTH AMERICA
PHILADELPHIA
TO POLICY HOLDERS
The following telegram from President Charles Piatt
sets forth the attitude of the old "NORTH AMERICA"
in regard to its San Francisco policy holders :
"All reports from San Francisco or elsewhere representing
that the INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA has
proposed to settle its San Francisco losses on the basis of a
flat reduction of 25 per cent or any other per cent are untrue.
Not a cent less than strict honesty and square dealing demand
.will be offered the assured; anything different would be con
trary to the uniform record of the company for more than a
hundred years. Every losa is being taken up, adjusted and paid
on Its merits, or as eqval an exact jus'.lce may dictate. No
more can be asked and no less will be given. If, in any case,
a deduction Is called for on account of earthquake damage,
which is not covered by a policy of fire insurance, no more than
what is just and reasonable is asked or expected. Adjustments
on the above basis are rapidly progressing."
