FROM MEXICO"--ONE OF THE BEST
PLAYS EVER OFFERED HERE.
One of the foremost everts of the
week is the formal opening of the new
Wenatchee theater which will take
place tonight. As an attraction extra
ordinary the Watson Stock Company
of twenty people has been secured at
a gteat expense to play three nights
and a matinee startiug tonight with
the best known comedy before thf
public. "The Man from Mexico."
The Watson Company are particular
ly clever in this particular play, which
made a great hit recently at the Seattle
Theatre. Mr. Albert J. Watson will
appear in the role )f Benjamin
Fitzhew, who furnishes the major
portion of the fun in this merrry play.
Mr. Watson is a comedian of re
cognized standing and in all his wort;
individuality is a markod feature.
Among the other clever members of
the Watson < ompany a ? Miss Aline
Wallace, Mr. Richard Soott, Mr. Harry
Pollard, Mies .Adelaide Ktith, Mr.
Allyn Lewi3. Miss Pearl Kirg, Mr.
Eimiu Seavey Mr. Sidney Diamond,
Mr. Tracy McDermott, Mr. Esco Ives,
Mr. E 1 Diamoi d. Miss A ice LeMoyi c
Mr. Joseph Busoh, and others.
Between the acts of the plays pre
sented in clever specialties
of the singing order willfce introduced.
This is a featuie which has in varia
bly been enjoyed by the patrons of tut
Watson Company wherever it lias ap
peared.
On the afternion of July Fourth a
special matinee will be given at which
a bargain price of admission will be
made. On the evening of the Fourth
Hall Caine's masterpiece will be the
bill and it will probably be the only
time in the history of the Wenatcheo
theatre when the opportunity of seeing
"The Christian" will be given tie
playgoers of this city.
On Weduesay evening, the sncoiui
day of Wenatchee's big
fhe.pLty will be that superb oiassieai-
£rf#a . "Faust." with all the electri
cs* and mechanical features.
Jgach of the plays presented by the
wfepon Company will be superbly
-scenery-rrrrrl" ntt
the effects will be given as nearly as
possible comparing with the produc
tions of the same plays by the same
company in Seattle during the recent
phenomenally successful run of the
Watsm Stock in the Seattle Theater.
The public, especially the amuse
ment loving public, have occasion to
congratulate the management of the
Wenatchee theatre both for their
enterprise in bringing about the build
ing of the theater and lor the wisdom
in the choice of a company to ope it.
A large demand has been made for
reserved seats and it is site to predict
overflowing audienes at every per
formance during the cominf engage
ment of the Watson Company which
comes to us as a guaranteed attraction
from every city in which it has played.
Do Not Sleep on the Left Side.
There is little doubt that an immense
number of persons habitually sleep ou
Jtic left side, and those who do so can
Sever, it ls said, be strictly healthy. It
Is the most prolific cause of nightmare
and also of the unpleasant taste in the
mouth on arising in the morning. All
food enters and leaves the stomach on
the right side, and hence sleeping on
the left side soon after eating involves
a sort of pumping operation which is
uny'iblng but conducive to sound re
pose. The action of the heart is also
seriously Interfered with and the lungs
unduly compressed; hence it Is best v*-.
cultivate the habit of always sleeping
on the right side.

"The iMKt Chord."
Sir Arthur Sullivan was at one time
greatly worried about what appeared
to him to be a bad Inconsistency in
•The Lost Chord." Sir John Robinson
tells the story: "The words are, T
struck one chord of music like the
sound of a great amen.' Now, am- v is
a word of two syllables, so that there
must have been two chords. He did
not notice this, he said, until after the
song had been sung in public, and ho
was terribly afraid he would get laugh
ed ut for it. Strange to say. nobody
ever seemed to have found it out."

"Ob, dear," sighed the bride. "1 was

WENATCHEE TEAM
WINS FAST GAME
LOCAL BALLTOSSERS TAKE THE BOYS FROM
HARRINGTON INTO CAMP BY A SCORE
OF 6 TO 2--ONE OF THE SNAPPIEST
GAMES OF THE SEASON.
An exceedingly lively game took
! place yesterday «t the Fair Grounds,
in which the home team crossed bate
with the boys from Harrington.
game was delayed a few mo
ments because of the failure of Wil
'.run Green, who umpired praotically
all the games between Wenatchee
and neighboring contestants, to take
i his regular place behind the twirler.
| However, after the f { rst inning he was
persuaded to call "strikes."
The sport commenced with the Har
rington team at bat and our newly
'acquired pitcher in the box. Two
I good hits were made by the "Reds"
I but were cleverly gathered in by
j Godfrey, who threw both men out
'on ! : i st.
Wenatchee then t >ok the stick.
! Fred Reeves started the ball roll
j ing by what at first looked like a
\ stf c hit, but good fielding by the vis-
I itors nailed him at first. The next man,
Frank Reeves reached first by a match
i less burst of speed but was caught try
ing to steal second.
In the second inning the speed of the
■•south winger" for the localsprevent
edllairington from scoring.
"Hooligan" Miller made a splendid
i drive, but wag caught trying to steal
1 second.
Foyles made good on a two-bsgger;
! his slide to second being very clever.
Godfrey scored the first run for the
' home team in the fourth inning assist
ed by "H" Miller who also crossed the
| plate.
Reiser's three base hit is also worth*
of mention.
Tlie Harringtons made their total
score in the seventh, three men on
their side being left on bases in the
eighth.
Smith Miller's liner to second was
stopped by the visitors and he was
thmwn ont on first.
This was one of the best if not the
; best game played jat our Fair Grounds
This season."
Manager Harris Is very well satisfied
! with his nine, and Wenatchea is now
■ prepaied io cope with the strongest
I adversaries.
;" "Animal For."
Fur is a threadlike fiber which grows
' )Ut of the pores of the skins of animals.
;It grows in length from tbe root and
uit from the top, as with vegetable
traductions The lower portion merely
, cngtbens out. and the top projects for
i ward, consequently If once cut it will
I tlways remain blunt. It is tubular and
j Hied with oil. which gives to the fiber
ts color. Iv addition to the oil it con
' tains mineral matter, among which are
| mlphur and Iron. A close examination
!if the liber will, to a certain extent,
thow the section of the country the an
! mal inhabits. The short and crisp,
with an ova! or angular cross section,
tndieates tropical long and
-oft. with circular croji§ion, a
lorthern climate. The fibers from dif
ferent parts of the same animal have
i different structure aud value, that
which Is taken from the back of a land
animal being the finest, while the re
verse is true of the animal which eou
fines itself mostly to water, the belly
icing much finer than the back.
Simplicity of Jenny Llnd.
j Jenny Lind must Lave been the most
! simple, unpretending prima donna that
' ever lived. When she first came to
England she was bound to sing only
at the Royal Italian Opera House, aud
! when commanded to slug at the
' queen's concert she was obliged to re
fuse. Very sorry to be compelled to
notify this, she ordered her carriage
and drove straight to Buckingham pal

"What was that he said?" queried
the Indignant grocer. "Did he dare
insinuate that I ought to put less sand

"Xot at nil. When I told him that
you were selling sugar cheaper than
any other dealer in town he said It
took sand to do business like you did."

Polities! Friendship*
A few mouths before he died Ho
ratio Seymour said to one of bis
mends, Dwlght Lawrence of New
i'ork: "Dwlght, I feel that I am near
the end of my farcer, and I want to
tell you something. I have had a great
leal to do with politics and with poli
ticians lv my time, and as 1 look back
>ver the past I can clearly see that the
best friendships of my life have been
formed In politics. It is lv politics that
I have met the manliest meu, the most
generosity. These friendships have
enduring too. Many of them have
continued throughout life. I believe
politics brings out the best there Is lv
man. It teaches the narrow mau to be
broad, the selfish one to be generous.
Phis is true because friendships are es
sential to success. In that field of ac
tivity one must have friends or he"
can't get on. and if he wants friend
ships he must deserve them. I would
not advise any young man to stay out
of politics because of the danger of be
ing demoralized. If lie Is the right
kind of man, It will do him good."
The Kangaroo at Bay.
When pursued the kangaroo, if possi
ble, directs bis flight toward the river.
If he reaches- it, he enters and, thanks
to his great height, is able to go on
foot to a depth where the dogs are
obliged to Bwim. There he plants him
self on his two hind legs and bis tall,
and, up to his shoulders in the water,
he waits the attack of the dogs. 'With
his fore paws he seizes by the bead
the first dog that approaches him, and,
as be is more solidly balanced than bis
assailants, he holds the dog's nose un
der water as long as he can. I'nless
a second dog speedily comes to the res
cue the first one Is sure to be drowned.
If a companion arrives and by bis at
tacks on the kangaroo manages to set
the captive free the half drowned
brute is glad to regain the shore as
quickly as possible. In this way a
strong and courageous male kangaroo
will hold his own against twenty or
thirty dogs, drowning some and fright
ening others, and the hunter Is obliged
to Intervene with a bullet.
Co*le»t*Clty In the World.
There is nothing oozy about New
York. It is not a city where a stran
ger can readily make v nest and feel
at home. It does not welcome the for
eigner with a smile and a polite "Now
make yourself happy and comforta
ble." It says tacitly, ' Well, now that
you're here I suppose you'll have to
stay, but don't get in the way end
bother people." Paris, on tbe other
hand, is the coziest city in the world.
It welcomes the newcomer in a thon
sand ways. It offers him the finest ed
ucation in the world for nothing. Be
fore him for miles He the charm and
wonder and mystery of those fascinat
ing streets, each with its own char
acter, some as full of history as an egg
Is of Yoj&JYjjrJd.
A fhlcVen That "Flared Po»*»m."
Saw I« a chicken thnt "played pos
sum." A correspondent writes: "The
cat of our household entered my room
the. otlua- day. drnggma.a uearl*. XuU,
grown chicken in Its mouth. The chick
en made no resistance and was quite
motionless, and when I made the cat
drop it the chicken lay apparently
dead. 1 chased the cat from the room,
and on my return to the chicken I was
surprised to see it slowly open its
eyes, raise Its head and look cautiously
round. As soon as It felt sure of the
disappearance of Its enemy it got up
and ran off as fast as it could."
Appropriations.
"Our language Is a strange thing.
When the Methodist board of missions
appropriates hundreds of thousands of
dollars for work among the heathen
there Is rejoicing among church peo
ple. When congress appropriates a
good sum for river and harbor im
provements we all agree that it is
quite a good thing. But when a clerk
appropriates a few hundred dollars of
his employer's mouey he Is sent to the
penitentiary. The first sorts of appro
priations are quite appropriate, but the
last sort is altogether inappropriate.—

A Clever Cabby.
The king of the Belgians once left his
umbrella In a hansom when driving in
Brussels. This was returned to bis
majesty a few hours afterward by the
proud cabby, who was offered for bis
honesty by King Leopold the sum of
100 francs. The astute jrhu. however,
begged a great favor of tbe king.
Could he have the umbrella instead of
money? The favor was granted,
and before many days bad passed the
cabman had pul op tbe umbrella for
sale, and It was knocked down to some
royal enthusiast forl4oofrancs. When
King Leopold beard of this he ex
claimed, •'Well. I'\" heard of an um
brella being put up to keep off show
ers of rain, but this seems to have been
put up to bring down showers of gold:*'

Paternal affection Is not perhaps the

When his mate lays her eggs the solic
itous father places them carefully upon
her back, where In due time their pres

numerous small holes, Into which the
eggs forthwith drop. In these colls,
which from natural pressure gel to be
hexagonal, like honeycomb, the young
frogs are finally hatched and for a bit
scramble about their mother's back,
hiding in their nurseries when danger
threutens.
