WILL MADISON'S Albany, Ore, Jan. 29. Mrs. Taylor, wife of a farmer living near Miller's station, four miles, north of Albany, has fled from home, taking her little S-yeur-old boy.

The audience was not quite aa large as on Thursday night, a characteristic ot second night performances, but the house was nevertheless comfortably filled, and the ringing applause that greeted the work of the soloists and chorus, the breathless attention that marked the passages where attention was necessary for an understanding of the plot of the piece, proved that In terest and enthusiasm had not died out. albeit there were a few empty seats. VhUe the life of the opera centered about the machinations of the unscrup ulous Haman, the work of the young ladle in the. scarf drill, the airy and fantastic dances of the pages, the light vein of comedy introduced by C. E. Turner in the part of the beggar, and the solos after the first act by Mr. Hoyt. did not escape the attention of the audience for their great worth In going to make up the general success. It is seldom that a local performer Is accorded the outburst of applause that greeted Mrs. Frank Spittle last night, when, with unusual dramatic fervor, as Zeresh, the wife of Haman, she directed that villainous person to build a gallows SO cubits high for the express purpose ot executing thereon Mordecai, the Jew. Mrs. Spittle won the sympathy of her hearers from the start, so much so that It was doubt less a matter of general regret that her rather questionable demands were not literally carried out. Mrs. Spittle certainly possesses extraordinary talent for stage work, while her beautiful con tralto voice w.as In full accord with her fascinating acting. As Haman. Mr. Carnahan looked his part, and acted and sang it to the run satisfaction of alt. He Is a favorite with an Astoria audience, and In "Queen Esther" met with his usual success. ,MIss Kathryn Shlvely, as the prophetess, was a source of genuine delight, her superb acting, coupled with her faultless vocal renditions, be Ir.g marked by a rapt attention that was only Interrupted by heartfelt ap plause. Miss Sue Elmore, In the part of Mordecal's sister, sang several solos during the progress of the opera. Miss Elmore was In every way fitted for the character she portrayed, and left noth Ing undone In winning the good will of the people so fortunate as to hear her. James Johnson, as Mordecai, and George Watkins. in the part of the king, sang their solos exceedingly well. Mr. Watkins made a dignified mon arch, while Mr. Johnson's pure tenor voice and pleasing manner on the stage eminently fitted him for the part of the benevolent Jew. Miss Hobson's success last night was distinct, being a repetition of her first appearance. Not a little of the success of the per formances Is due to Miss Eva Holmes, the accompanist. Miss Holmes has attended every rehearsal for the past three weeks, and there was one every day for that period. She has worked unceasingly for the success of the un dertaking and deserves the thanks of the public for her services. . The good attendance at both per formances of the opera will doubtless net the library a substantial sum. The ladies and Mr. Robinson have worked in perfect harmony in preparing the play for the public, and they, as well as the performers, deserve great credit for the happy result of their efforts to provide such rare entertainment. The Carriages In Use. Washington, Jan.' 29. Secretary Root, in replying today to the reaolu- tlon of the house a to the number of vehicles used by the war department, Marine Inspectors Go On Record Assert That Callam Could Have Been Steered Easily.With the Apparatus She Had. Seattle, Jan. 29. "I am perfectly willing to go on record at asserting that, if those chains were there and properly attached, as witnesses have sworn, that the ship could have been steered just as effectively, though not as convenient, as If the stock ha1 been chopped off right close down to the rudder. I say this knowing this testi mony may be reviewed by competent men, by newspapers and probably will be read by many seafaring men." Such were the observations of Cap tain Whitney, of the marine Inspec tion board, today at the conclusion of the testimony of Captain Henry Car ter, In the Clallam Investigation. Chief Engineer Le Launay had undertaken to prove by Captain Carter that the Clallam had a defective rudder, and tl.at relieving chains being on the rud der were silent admission of the weak ness of the vessel's steering gear. The witness flatly declined to make any such admission. Hardly had the concluding words of Captain Whitney's assertion fallen from his Hps when InspiN-tor TurriT spoke up saying: "And I nm willing to go on record and say I have seen 51100-ton ships steered in the same way right out in the middle of the ocean TIME GETTING SHORT You'll Have to Hurry only a few days more i-jiK OF DANZIGER'S JANUARY CLEARANCE SALE EXTRA SPECIAL Until ealo closes wo will make still further reduction on all OVERCOATS AND MAKINTOSIIES 1-3 Off, That Means a $22.50 Overcoat for $15.00 20.00 " ; 13.85 10.50 " " 11.00 15.00 M 10.00 12.00 Mackintosh" 8.00 10.00 u " 0.65 8.00 " 6.35 COO " " 4.00 Get the Habit, Go To S.
