I ' 1 Bill i.ll THE MORNING "DORA THOME" IS COMING BERTHA M. CLAY'S FAMOUS LOVE PLAY TO PLAY HERE SUNDAY NIGHT AT THE AS TORI A THEATRE, "Dora Thorne" will play at the As toria theatre one night only, May 10th, and the announcement will no doubt cause an unusual heavy demand (or scats. No play in recent years hat attracted so much attention and it being so strongly patronized by the public everywhere and the critic are unanimous in their praise of the production and its supporting cast One cannot neglect seeing it for it teaches a strong moral lesson, and will be enjoyed by the old and the young alike, and by people of all walk of life. The manner in which the management have producted "Dora Thome" calls for only the heartiest admiration. The costumes are elegant and ap propriate and the the movement and group in of the persons taking part in the action proper, have been ao carefully considered, that naturalness and dramatic effectiveness have never been sacrificed. Yet a pictorial qual ity which to belong to the old paint ing of the English school has been obtained. As for the scenes in which the folks have part, these are among the best offered here in a long time. The exclamations, the evincing of keen interest in what is taking place, all has been planned and carried out greater skill and quality than anything similar that has been seen in any production. The view of Earl Manor lighted and rejoicing is also of great beauty. "Dora Thorne" has always been a favorite of all plan's and one that is sure to please. Amended Properly . It is said that the ordinance grant ing a street franchise to the Clatsop Fuel Company, for the laying of mains throughout the city for the dis tribution of gas when the company shall have developed that commodity, has been sharply amended by the way and means committee of the common council, which had it in charge, and will be reported back at the next session, with provisions re quiring that development within a given period; that the company shall furnish free gas to all municipal buildings in perpetuity, and for the paying of a license to the city in an increasing ratio of limit, during the life of the franchise; all of which is in direct line with the suggestions offer ed by the Morning Astoran yesterday, and which are essential and proper.

Sad Details Lacking Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Taylor, of this city, have no further news' of the manner in which the late, lamented son James A. Taylor, met his death in the mines at EI Oro, Mexico. It is simply known that he' was stricken in the mine, but whether from asphyxiation by the gases in the low er levels, or from a fall front the as cending cage while under stress of the gases, cannot be determined from the meagre accounts of the distressing tragedy at hand.

Fulton apprising him of the fact that he had been in consultation with the secretary of state, and that all possible steps would be taken to secure a suspension of the Mexican federal statutes forbid ding the exhumation of remains there CASTOR!
