"THE PRITATE SECRETARY.'
Sometliias About the Funniest Play of the
the Day, Which Will Soon be Seen at
Row' Opera Hocse.
It will be a pleasing announcement for
our theater-goers to learn that "The Pri
vate Secretary," which is spoken of as
tho most amusing play of tho day, and
which ha3 been such an extraordinary
success, not only in England and Ger
many, but in this country as well, i3 to
bo seen hero on August 17lh. The Mad
ison Squaro Theater company, including
W. H. Gillette, M. A. Kennedy, Frank
Tanuehill, Jn.Fanny Addison, Alice Sher
wood, and others that appeared in tho
original production, appear here for the
first time.
"The Private Secretary" is a farce, in
three acts, abounding m complications
which arise from the desire of Mr. Cat
termole to have his nephew, Douglas, sow
his wild oats. This he at once pretends
to do. Ho is inspired with tho happy
thought of entering tho house of Mr.
Marsland, whero ho impersonates tho
private secretary already engaged. Ho
makes it his business to fall in lovo with
tho first pretty girl he finds in tho estab
lishment. In sowing his wild oats ho
comes in contact with various female
members of the family, one "of whom is
a spinster whoso sensitive soul yearns for
spiritual manifestations. When ltev.
liobt. Spaulding (W. H. Gillette), tho
private secretary, arrives, ho is forced to
perform tho part of tho medium, not,
however, with any clearness as to his
function. The excitement and absurd
ities of this particular scenq set tho
house in great turmoil. The private sec
retary doubts his own sanity. Every
thing is at cross purposes; all nro drawn
into tho whirlpool of contradictions and
misunderstandings.
As may be imagined from tho story of
it, tho play is full of farcial fun, and tho
response a continual roar around tho
house. Spaulding is a "clerical error,"
and sets everybody with whom ho comes
in contact to blundering about him. Ho
is a booby, always in the wrong place,
and tho dilemma is funny enough with
out dialogue,-and really too ridiculous for
words. It must bo seen to bo apprecia
ted, and that it will bo well performed, o
casual glanco will convince almost any
one that this company which appears
here, will compriso an nnequaled cast of
characters:
Kev. Kcibt. SpauMmg, private secretary to
Mr. Maryland W. II Gillette

Tho play will bo produced hero under
tho management of Carl Adler. It is his
intention to bring nono but first class
troops here, nnd tho high reputation that
tho Madison Square theater company has
all over the United Stales will no doubt
ba sustained in Astoria.

CfllXOOK'S LETTER.
Writing from "tho Columbia river"
under date of July 31, to tho California
Grocer and Conner, "Chinook," discours
ing of salmon, says:
I notico that the London Grocer notes
as "discreditable" tho practice of rela
beling ordinary brands with fancy desig
nations such as "Crown," "Royal," etc
I havo been informed that some inferior
salmon which is packed upon the Colum
bia is relabeled by a large Liverpool firm,
and that in consequenco tho quantity of
salmon sold nnder tho brands noted
above is usually inoro than double tho
real volume of tho pack in queston. In
that event the name of tho river upon
which these brands are packed would
seem exceedingly appropriate. I desire
to note hero that the onus of guilt is
not with the packer. It would seem that
the Liverpool firm in question is at fault.
At a timo when everything which is
wrong is attributed to tho packer of
salmon it is cheering to show that he is
not alono in wrong doing. With a pack
so small as tho one in question it would
appear easy to detect any attempt at de
ception. Is it not time to classify the
Columbia river salmon packers? We
hear a great deal nbout discrimination,
but does it attain to any result? Our
London friend3 who ought to attend to
this seom remiss. How would tho fol
lowing classification suit?
First-class. Packers who have only
one brand, who put up no other fish than
salmon, and who usa their label only up
on fish which they pack in their own
canneries.
Second-class. Packera who besides
putting up fish in their own canneries
purchase salmon which they know to be
good, but upon which they use their own
label.
Third-class. Packers who put up salm
on under several brands. The first only
has the namo of tho packer. The second
has1 a fancy name (McGinnes perhaps)
and if there bo a third, as I know there is,
tho third is geographically uncertain.
Fourth-class. Speculators who claim
to be packers who havo obtained a label
which they are ready to put upon any
thing which they can purchase at low
figures. I might add another class,
but as tho goods which they put up have
frequently to bo removed from tho cans
with a spoon (as a well known Brussels
grocer reported last season,) I omit this
grado becauso I am not writing about
soup.
Nowhere wo havo a clearly defined
gradation affording amplo opportunity to
protect the best salmon and to ensure
tho purchaser against trash. But will
it do any good to point out any means
for guarding against imposition? This
is tho ago of fraud. Salmon alono is not
at fault.
RUT IS IT DEAD BEYOND BESUBRECTIOJU
Two stage hands entered tho room,
supporting tho trembling figure of a
weather- beaten joke. "Oh, Pm hero,"
ho hoarsely whispered, looking pitifully
up into tho manager's faco with a won
smile, "'ready to go on, even if it's for
tho last time. Never disappoint tho pub
lic," he murmered softly. Then his eyes
closed and ho lay very still. The man
ager bent over him and chafed bis hands,
whilo tho others applied restoratives.
"I'm better now," said tho aged Gag,
as he sat up nnd gazed feebly about.
"Ah! there's my cue. I'm going on. Let
mo pass!" A second later wo heard from
tho interlocuter: "And so you sav that
you were eating an egg, while everybody
else on board the vessel was starving?"
"I was," replied tho End Man.
" And whero did you get tho egg?"
" Tho ship 'lay to,' nnd I got one."
Then a mist oame before the eyes of
tho old Gag. Ho staggered back into tho
wings and fell. Sobbing Conundrums
bore him tenderly to his dressing room
and Weeping Jokes implored him to op
en his eves. It was too late. The sound
of laughter and applause camo from tho
auuiionum. a sniuo oi lneuaoie sweet
ness lit up his face and faded away for
ever. The old Gag was dead. Chicago
