SPilB
Patrons of Orpheum Have Seen
Better Program Than One
This yVcck.
By V. H. P. ,
v Prosy and soggy may bs used as In
discriminately as they may be used
aptly In a description of .the bill of
"vaudeville " which a perspiring but not
by any means Inspiring audience saw
and suffered In its first throes at the
Orpheum last night. '. That tired feeling
which comes with the summer sun did
; not take kindly to Indifferently warmed
: over (Jests and weird witticisms of
i which a few floundered over the foot
s lights and. were fumbled. frf'K1
Vaudeville vied- for popularity with
, the cooling measure with pdds on the
latter. But In the coolness Of the days
w hlch; "must follow the , heat , there is
hope for the assemblage of acts making
up a ,blU not wholly bad, although
' sticky in spots on. a sultry night. ' Not
.. a. thrill crept into its trundling length
. last night, and mirth played, truant;
Yet, it Is through no feeling of symr
- pathy or charity that one Is prompted
to offer the presumption that probably
conditions last night incumbered s) show
" that is not so frayed as It seemed. Per
formers .complained of an . Inattentive
uninspiring and hopelessly melancholy
audience, which refused to crinkle per
spiring visages and spattered applause
with guarded economy. ' ;
When other acts -wilted t woefully,
Boynton ' and Burke, two crisp, breesy
- young ' women who looked cool, ' suff 1-
: ciently aroused auditors with, their
. songs to win patters of praise. Their
, act dragegd, too, probably because of
. the heat, but it was free from that dash
of lomberhess which characterised oth-
L ers. Being young, really good looking
- and altogether ; refreshing, they com
pelled their listeners to forget for the
, moment the tepidity of the atmosphere.
Gracing the program with something
more Imposing, periiaps "Tha . Mardl
Gras In Paris"- -the Vorati opera com
pany of five singers trilled lighter veins
from standard operas and won through
merit. - Their trained voices banished
i. memories of vocal rasps which the but-
' dlence suffered from performing breth
ren who preceded them. ; ;
v Taking a running Jump at other act
on i the--program, charity compels brev
t lty. Bert and Lottie Walton, can be
endured while they 'dance, but last night
they 'danced and sang. '.Miss Sydney
. Shields? ? and j company presenting
"Broadway,; U. B. A.," were deliriously
saaaemng. Marry Atkinson imitated
musical Instruments and Clifford . and
Burke, who attempted a blackface revel,
grated. . J .

"nailer's Comet" Pleases.
The Lyrlo theatre yesterday was not
a very Joyous place, in spite of the
fact that "Halley'a Comet" made Its
appearance there for the first time.
!"Haileya Comet" U a very funny com
edy and one that, under -ordinary tir
.cumstancea would have given the Ann-
, strong musical comedy company a most
. welcome vehicle for their fun. Yester-
" day, however, the entire membership of
the company was shocked and unstrung
' by ' the awful aocident that had ' hap
pened to Marjorie Mahr, the little
' chorus' girl ; who ' was run down and
-mangled by a Fourth street train Sun-
. day,
T The comcanv went bravelv through
with the production, however, and the
' presentation was creditable in spite of
' the strain under which the actors -were
working. It is believed that the week
will see one of the most enthusiastic
-. receDtiona vet accorded . to the Arm
strong company, due as a result of the
' t cleverness and comedy of this week's
Dill, : '
: The fun of the presentation groups
.around a peculiar telescope which is
, supposed to have the power to draw the
t inhebitanta of Halley's comet from that
, orb to the earth when properly trained

wife, and getting into the observatory,
hides in the telescope. Out of this en'
Ungldhent comes all of the fun of the

afternoon between Frank Swanton. man
ager of the Columbia mills "at Portland,
and the . United States government in
the. United States court The govern
ment had obtained a Judgment Of
$2250.97 against Swanton for moneys
spent while postmaster in Nome. Alas
ka. Swanton, it was proven, made the
expenditures without authority from the
government
He was In charge, of the office at
Nome In the days of the gold excitement
of 1900 to 1902, when the country ' was
filled with adventurous seekers for
wealth. . The business became too' heavy
for the force and the postmaster em
ployed more help. Swanton has paver
been accused of having made dishonest
use oi me posiai : xunas. : He was
charged" with havjng expended the
money in the employment .of clerks to
handle the tremendous mail accumula.
tions at Nome, without first having se-
cureo, permission irom tne postal de
partment at Washington.
..The United States district ' attorney
was ordered to bring suit for the recov
ery of the amount expended and
Judgment was returned against the ex
postmaster. At that time Swanton of
fered a compromise by the payment of
half the amount, and It was yesterday
accepted. A decree has been entered In
tne united States court "

DAUGHTER OF CONVICT
l!GETSNAME CHANGED
County Judge Cleeton Hodav' made an
order changing the name of pri
Beatrice Dlckerson. the little daughter
of R. T. Dlckerson. to Pearl Beatrice
Messner, .the n'ewy name being the one
assumea or ner motner since - her dl
vorce from . Dlckerson. The father is
serving a three year term in the peni
tentiary for manslaughter for' killing
"Bud" Garrett an admirer. of Ji Is wife.
When the petition for change of name
came on for hearing In May. Julius
Sllvestone appeared as a friend of the
court and objected. . He urged the name
of the mother was not a suitable one
for the little girl' and also objected to
the Jurisdiction jt the court. He Is
supposed tov have made the objection
at the behest of Dlckerson, who feels
bitterly toward his former wife because
of her friendship for Garrett and the
tragedy which- followed' onj morning
on the.Patton road, where Garrett was
employed by Dlckerson as a driver f6r
a grading outfit
Judge Cleeton decided the Interests
of the child would be favored by
change from the name of her father,
thus erasing as far as possible the re
minders of the tragedy In which her
parents figured.
