One of the most masterly cf
Shakespear's productions so far as
tho portrayal of human feeling is
concerned, is the letter scene in
Macbeth. Rose Eytinge has play
ed the part in some of the greatest
casts of the times during the past
25 years, and from border to border
of the United States, and in Lon
don. Her portrayal of the scene
has contributed as much as any
thing else to her great renown, and
is one of the greatest of which Miss
Eytinge is capable. Seats for the
reading are on sle at Graham &
Wortham's.

following is the personnel of our
team: Spires, center; Burns, (capt.)
and J Rooper, forwards; H. Rooper
and Coiwell, guards; substitutes,
Hortou and Bartlett. H. Rooper
and (Jolwell are substitutes on the
first team. Beyond doubt this will
p ove a spirited contest.

to the charge of breaking the globes

sentence. They were sentenced to

the city jail. Owing to circum
stances over which the boys had no
control thoy accepted tbe latter
alternative and are now in durance
vile for five days. With good be
havior thy will breath the air nf
freedom in time for Sunday dinner.
It is sincerely hoped that this les
son may not be lost on these lads
and that other boys about town
may profit by their experience.

The Willamette river was falling
yesterday at this city. The water
reached a mark about 16 feet above

wagon was brought to this city by
another party.
The celebrated pom "Bianca to

by Rose Eytinge in her dramatic
reading at the Opera House thi?,
Friday, evening. . The weird, mys
tical rhythm of the lines in which
the feelings of the speaker bluzes
up frequently, but with a reserve of
power that bursts out into a con
suming passion, and then dies
away in a fluttering spark of de
spair as tho end of the story is
reached, affords the distinguished
reader opportunity for use of those
rare powers that haye made her
name familiar throughout the
country for years. The poena is by
Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
