cesaful as the one preceding. 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.

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
