tried before him, it is presumed he
knew whereof he spoke.
The management of the Vont has done
considerable work in an attempt to im
prove the acoustics of tho hall, and we
hope have succeeded. The hall is really
a very comfortable one, the scenery and
stage first class, and if tiie acoustics
could be improved it would be all right.
The only way to accomplish this is to
keep experimenting, and this is being
done.
Now is the time to work the roads,
one day'B work being worth a do',en later
on when tho ground is dry. Now the
fresh dirt put in tho roadB will pack and
become hard and firm. We suggest that
it would be a good idea for that fine
county road leveler and scraper to be
run constantly . until the ground gets
dry. A month's work with it would
prove of inestimablo advantage.
Miss Hilda Beck, who has been visit
ing at home for the past few days, was
pleasantly surprised by a number of
friends who gathered at her home last
night, without previously informing her,
and spent the evening moBt enjoyably
with cames, music, etc., not to mention
the most important feature, the lunch.
At a late hour they bade Miss Hilda
good bye. She returned to Portland this
morning.
The supreme couit of the Btate of
Washington has held that the counties
are responsible for all warrants issued by
them. That is, tho decision is in touch
with tho Oregon decision, and is in ef
fect that all indebtedness that the
county cannot avoid, such as jurors fees,
court costs, otc, are not within the pro
hibited $5,000 indebtedness that a
county can create. This makes about
$25,000 worth of Klickitat warrants
valid, that were heretofore considered
doubtful.
United States Senator Samuel D. Mc
Emery, of Louisiana, iB credited with
having recently declared that he is "a
Sam Randall Democrat, always has been
and always will be." The people of his
state, he added, have known his views
for many years, and in the Bpeech he
made to the Democratic caucus before
his late election to the eonate ho left no
ground for doubt as to Iub attitude on
tho tariff. Tho tariff, lie thinks, should
be taken out of politics, being a purely
economic questiou and having no place
in partisan discussion.
Tho illustrated talk by Professor
Cordley, at the court house last night
drew quite a largo audience. The lec
ture was a fine one, and those who at
tended learned more about fruit pestB
and thoir manner of doing harm, than
they could in any other manner in a
month. The stereopticon views wore
very fine, and told more in a minute
than words could do in a week. Pro
fessor Cordley has a very pleasant style
and has tho happy faculty of making a
very dry subject interesting. President
Miller lectures this evening, and those
who hoar him will have something to

'ROMEO AND JULIET.
A Delightful Production, Nevor Jtefore
Excelled In TIiIh City.
This morning's East Oregonian says:
"Romeo and Juliet," as rendered by
the Bacon Company at the Frazer opera
house Wednesday evening, was tho best
performance ever given in Pendleton.
This statement is made with full knowl
edge that it will sound somewhat extrav
agant to persons who were not present.
But it is made, nevertheless, with tiie
conviction that it will be endorsed by
all who were present.
The balcony love scene in the third
act was a piece of work which would
have evoked storms of applause from
the most critical audience in metropoli
tan Eastern cities. It was the gem
around which wer set numerous leseer
gems of acting, each one of rare worth.
Miss Dalglish possesses the qualities
of au ideal Juliet a sweet, womanly
manner, perfect enunciation, charming
naivette, physical charms and an ele
ment of force which fills out the part
and makes her really one of the best
Juliets of the day.
Lester Lonergau, the Romeo, was a
magnificeut lover, and since "all the
worid loves a lover," the audiences
which witness his Romeo are won to a
warm admiration of his excellent work.
Together, Miss Dalglish and Mr. Lon
ergan present "Romeo and Juliet" in a
manner which leaves even the most dys
peptic critic nothing but meeds of praise
for his utterance.
No less forceful and finished was the
Mercutio of Mr. E. J. Blunkall. What
was Baid of Mr. Lonergan as to quality
of acting can be said of Mr. Blunkall.
His dying scene was artistic in a high
degree and in no situation was he lacking.
Miss Wiedman was a very successful
nurse, and Tybalt was a finely carried
part. Friar Lawrence by George Fuller
ton was equal to all requirements.
Frank Bacon, appearing only a couple
of times as Peter, gave the audience an
instinctive knowledge that he has the
touch of a true comedian and would ex
cel in a part affording him opportunity
to display his powers.
The strength of tho Bacon company
lies in the balance between the parts.
Eliminating Lady Capulet and Count
Paris, minor parts, and not material so
far as acting is concerned, the company
is finely soleated, and the error is not
committed by Mr. Bacon, so common in
these days, of having one star and such
weak support that the Btar shines with
great relative brilliancy. This principle
recognized by Mr. Bacon is certainly to
be appreciated. He lias a well balanced
company and tiio average among his
actors is very high.

The Uecoiniug Color.
The choice of a. color for a gown or
ribbon is more important than is gener
ally apnmed, says the New York Even
ing Post. In looking over an assem
blage of expensively dressed women re
cently it was noticed that a very small
percentage wore the colors that suited
them. A woman reads, or is told, that
shades of magenta or tints of green are
fashionably worn, and she forthwith
selects them, often with most trying re
sults to her good looks, Colors match
ing the hair tint in some shade are safe.
A red-haired woman, ono with the
bronze-red hair, looks her best in sables
and reddish browns; a golden-haired
blonde with blue eyes should select a
gown of some shade of her hair with a
bit of her eye blue at the throat. This,

intensifying the color of the eye by a
throat bow of its predominating shade,
is a hint to bo remembered, particularly
by women whose eyes have lost some of
the youthful depth of color. Edmund
Russell gives his formula for artistic
dressing to be: "Match the hair as
nearly ao possible for day and the eyes
for evening wear." French women,
it may bo added, wear whito in tho
evening, after 40, almost invariably.

The Hi-port Iv Correct.
The Moro Observer this week says :
J. D. Wilcox of Kent has been in
formed by Judge Story that the reported
reversal of the action against him and
Mr. Messinger was premature. In fact,
not a fact. The Observer found tho re
port in The Dalles Chronicle.
The report was published in this
paper and is correct. The decision wan
rendered in the United StateE court of
appeals at San Francisco February 23d.
Unlike tho Oregon and California de
cision, in tho Messinger case, there was
no dissenting opinion, the decision be
ing unanimous.

The dispatches today give an account
of the sinking of the steamship Ste
Nazaire, which sailed from New York
for Port Au Prince, Hayti, Marcli Cth,
by which eighty persona lost their lives.
The steamer sprung a leak, and as a vio
lent storm caught her, went to nieceB.
The life boats were launched, four in
number, and passengers and crew all got
safely away. One of the boats only has
been picked up, and out of thirty-eight
crowded into it, all but four were dead,
and these are in a critical condition. It
is supposed that all the balance
drowned, or died from exposure.
