quite th ■ icature of the week to go
and inspect the new aupply of finery
for warmer weather, and decide what captivat
ing costume must be purchased for the ap
\ proaqfeing season. But to leave the all-en
grossing topic of dreaa, to which feminine sub
ject some of the papers of the day generously
devote one or more columns woekly, for subject*
ot more general interest Of course society ia
not very active at present, the dissi
pation being on a very quiet or
der. There has been another meeting
for the leap year cotillion to be given in Easter
week. The meeting was held at the residence
of Mrs. Percy Dickinson Monday evening. Ex-
President White, of Cornell college, was ban
quetted, and Wednesday the ordination aa
deacon of Mr. Dickson, of Seattle, brought to
gether a large number of the clergy of the
Episcopal church, including Bishop Morris, of
Oregon. Secret and fraternal societies, however,
occupied more attention than any society event.
Politics, too, demands much time and consid
eration, and it is fair to say it will demand
much more thought before the municipal elec
tion April 5. It must not .be inferred that be-
I cause women will not be allowed to vote at this
' election, that they are silent and of no force in
k shaping the outcome. No, indeed. For in-
T stance, the ladies say the candidate for mayor
N who brings a bride to this city in the teeth of
the campaign, will have their sympathy and
support. They do not say "influence," but
were they versed In political parlance, thai ia
1 the word they would make use of.

MEMORIES OF SCHOOL DATS.
I sat alone in the firelight.
In the quiet eventide.
And away in the mystic dreamlaad
My iancy wandered wide.
And as the shadows deepened.
In the lonely little room,
My thoughts shut out the darkness.
My dreama dispelled the gloom.
And back in the dear old convent,
Shut in by its high gray wail,
A child, I sing In the garden
And pray in the chapel halL
And the hours pass on unheeding,
With no greater care for me
Than the simple tasks of childhood—
Ah, life was a sunny sea!
But the childhood days were numbered.
And the child to a maiden grown.
Would pause in the hush of the evening
To dream of the world unknown.
Then the vesper ball would echo
Through the valley, o'er the hill,
And lost in love's devotion,
When all around was still,
She knelt in the old cathedral,
Where the candles' softened glow
Beamed from the snowy altar,
Bathing in beauty all below.
And the holy Sisters chanting
To Our Lady, swayed her soul
With the music's rythmic motion.
As the harmonies would roll,
Mingled with the fragrant incenae.
From the perfumed censer swung,
Rising with the "Tantum Ergo"—
Sweetest words on mortal tongut.
But the music dies in echoes,
And the muffled, aolemn knell,
Heralds the service over;
Oh, beautiful veaper bell!
Ah, but the spell la broken,
And I am again in the room.
Where only the firelight's flicker
Shuts out the darkening gloom.
With a sigh for the dream that has vanished,
Aud a tear for the old school days,
I pile new knots on the embers,
Till the fire burns in a Uaae.
And the evening lamps are lighted,
Aud all is so full of cheer.
That I know by my own heart-beatings
All that I love is here.

The metropolis has passed through a

whose names are constantly in the news

NEWS OF THE STAGE.
Sparkling Patti Rosa a Coming
Dramatic Attraction.
"CAPTAIN SWIFT" AT CORDRAY'S
Fred Wards on the Way to Seattle—
"Superba" to Play at Cordray's
—Coming Events.
INHERITED" wa«
Maude Granger's
best drawing card
in Seattle. This
actress, it must be
confessed, is not,j
a* beautiful as in
daya of yore, but ;
in breadth of abil
ity and depth of feeling she
has improved with the
years. There is a wonder
derful depth of feeling in
her reading of the lines in
ner reading oi ino unci iu
•ny scene requiring an interpretation of the
more lntenso passions of the soul. The com
pany was above the average, and the sweet
little girl who plays a hard part in "Inherited"
ia one of the best features of the show.
She is the daughter of Jay Hunt, of
the company. He is also the stage manager. By
the by, Mr. Hunt was so pleased with Seattle
that he purchased a nice piece of property in
this city. He is an old Philadelphlan and has
been with many of the leading companies of
the country. At the Seattle opera-house the
next attraction is sparkling Patti Rosa. Fred
Warde will soon be here in a round of the legit
imate. This week Cordray's company will pre
sent "Captain Swift," which is a successful and
attractive drama. Arthur Forrest has been
especially engaged to play the leading role.
TheUuited States Marine Rand will shortly
play an engagement at the Seattle opera-house.
This musical organization is known all over the
country. The Fiak Jubilee Singers did a good
business on Thursday night.
"Captain Swift" at Cordray'a-
The society drama, "Captain Swift," has been
billed as the attaction at Cordray's next week.
Mr. Arthur Forrest has been specially engaged
to take the leading part. This gentleman has
starred in the piece all over the United States
for the last two yeara, and has won great popu
larity for forciblo and tslented acting. The
Newark Evening Neva of September 3 says of Mr.
Forrest's enaction and speaks of the play as fol
lows:
"Captain Bwift," the play produced at Miner's
theuter last night, ranks with "Jim the Pen
man." There are no suggestions of imitation or
similarity in details between them, but both
deal with the slow winding of the web of evi
dence about guilty men, aud with the final and
inevitable discovery of their crimes. Captain
Swift is an Australian of the Claude
Duval type, who flcea to England
and becomes a visitor to the home
of his own mother, to save whose
reputation he had been in infancy taken from
her arms and given to the care of strangers, who
brought him up in Australia. He wins the love
of a young girl in the locality where his mother
resides, but his i dentity as the Australian out
law is suspected at once by a visitor who had
looked into the mussle of Swift's revolver in the
bush, and he is recognized also by his foster
brother, a servant in the house. Finally the
mother discovers their relationship and dis
closes it to hi in. Torn by contending emotions
the man hesitates to flee till danger thickens
around him and it is too late. Mother, sweet
heart and foster brother vainly endeavor to
save him, and he at last meets death by his own
hands rather than face arrest and compel his
mother to reveal to her husband the secret of
her early life. The play is developed in masterly
fashion and awakens the liveliest sym
pathy for the doomed man. The one ex
ception to be taken is that the final catastrophe
is overpainful. It is not always true art
however pleasant it may be to make stories and
plays end happily, but the end of "Captain
Swift" leaves not only the thought of sadness
over the ruin and death of a man ennobled by
courage, self-sacritice and repeutance, but the
impression, knowing his motner's love for him,
that he has at the moment of a supreme crisis
ohosen not only to throw his own life away but
also to destroy every chance of happiness that
she has and embitter every moment of her fu
ture life with the memory of a terrible tragedy.
Arthur Forrest made a handsome, dashing
Captain Swift. He played the part throughout
with good judgment and force. Particularly
was this the case in the strong scenes in which
his mother confesses their relationship, aud in
the last act where the hunted and desperate
man, gaining a brief respite from the pursuit of
the detectives, meets the woman he lovee and
his mother.
The cast is as follows;
Mrs. Seabrook Miss Beatrice Lieb
Lady Staunton Miss Margaret Marshall
bteila Darbishier ...Miss Loyola O'Connor
Mabel Seabrook Miaa Eva Earle French
Mr. Gardner Lorimer Johnstone
Mr. Seabrook David Elmer

Trip of the Marine Hand.
The United States Marine band of Washing
ton, City, "l he President's Band," it is some
times called, is about to make one of the most
remarkable tours that any large organization
hus ever a tcmpted in this country. It is to
cross the continent to San Francisco, stopping
at certain designated cities, fill an engagement
at the Golden Gate, cout : nue south as far as
Los Angeles, Cal., north as far as Seattle, Wash.,
return by the Northern route to St Paul, Minne
apolis and Dulutb, to Chicago, and from
Chicago back to the national capital, all in an
exceedingly brief period. To accompliah this
extraordinary run the band will be compelled
to compass an average of 200 miles a day, play
ing every day except Sundays, and often twice
a day. This is a feat never before undertaken
by any large organization. There is but one
that ever approached such an average, that be
ing Giimore's band, under the same manage
ment, Mr. D. Blakely, of New York, which
made a transcontinental tour, and covered an
average of 166 miles a day. The care
in every detail of arrangement, necessary to
enable the Marine band to accomplish this un
dertaking is hardly comprehended by the aver
age reader. The very minutes of the time
allotted are counted, a:4 every foot of the miles
of the distauce measured; the hours possible to
every stopping place are accounted for to the
stc nd, an 1 every c m the train will be
greased and screwed up to the highest pitch of
condition, aiid even the selected ongineors, con
ductors and trainmen are put on their nerve
for a si-ecihc and eventful duty. A single hour s
delay, a broken ax.", or misplaced switch, might
disarrange and despoil the entire schedule of
arrangements. To insure the exact fulfillment
oi every minute's running time, special coaches
an 1 many special trains are required to run ou
special time-tat lea. The Marine band excursion
train will be a splendid combination of Pullman
skill and art. "1 wo of the very latest design! in
sleepers are especially arranged for, dining car,
bagcage cars, etc., and the lleetest engines pos
■eased by any and all the railroal lines con
cernedarethe train requisites, and these will
g». tly.ng from Chicago over the entire route and
back again. Probably no special train ever
sent out surpassed this train as it will be made
up, conveying its dUtinguianed passengers,
sixty or more in number. It is by special dis
pensation and the grace of President Harrison,
at tue request of >ecreiary of the Navy Tracr,
that the Marine ban i is granted the furlough
that roaxes it possible for it to go upon so long
. arkab'.e a . 1 IMJT. As .s «sKI i
the baud is a goverument institution, j»erma
nently stationed at Washington c tjr, aud is es
pecially devoted to tbe White House and the
president's requirements. The present is the
second tour ever permitted by the president,
and the first for such a length of time and dis
tance, therefore the tour partukes somewhat of
a national noveltv and must naturally attract
to i tee If almost national attention.
ratti Kosa iu ••Dolly Varden."
Pstti Ross, the peerless Pstti, is booked for
sn appearance* n cU 7 n,lt Saturday night,
aIU ; judging from the remarkable uaaiumity
of expressions oa the part ol writers for tlis
press throughout ths country. one of the most
delightful entertainments of the season will be
famished by Miss Rosa aud her company. A
thoroughly versatile actress 11 Patti Rosa;
„ n .,uc to her fingertips ia whatever she under
takes. her physical stature and her terr-perment
have made her a comedienne, but she ii versed
in the technique of the stage in almost every
capacity. r-he has this season what she hsa not
bad heretoiore, "Dolly Varden," that fits her to
the utmost advantage. Its scope is entertain
in#, pure and simple, and whers stage
performances furnish that sort of su
tcrtainmcnt, the great mass ol theater
goers ask nothing farther. It is a
Pleasure to note thai Patti Rosa's sesson thus
far has been successful beyond any she has
previously experienced. Crowded houses hsve
been the rule with her, and the result ol herea-
gagement here will probably make no break in
thereoord. Her company ia of the beat. Will
Mandeville, formerly General Knickerbocker in
"The Little Tycoon," is one of her principal
comedians; Joe Cawthorn, formerly of "The
Little Nugget," if another. The organisation
in Its entirety is one of the beat in existence.
The Memphis Appeal recently said: "It is sel
dom that every member of a company is good,
or fair, or even forgivable; there is not one of
the Patti Rosa Company who is not excellent"
Misa Roea'a advent here will be welcome. Seats
now on sale at Hansen's.
The Benefit for the Klks.
The Elks' benefit on Friday night at the Se
attle opera-house, was a great success and was
rendered specially pleasing by the receipt of a
check for S2OO, from Patti Rosa. She paid that
amount for a single seat. There are but four
female Elks in the country and Patti Rosa is
one of the brilliaut quartette. The performance
was opened by the first act of "Fate," by the
Cordray company. They played their parts well
and immediately hurried away to the theater.
Next came a grand minstrel performance, the
parta being taken by George W. Kedd, William
Cole, J. P. Gorman, C. Lambert, W. Whipple, T.
H. Jefferaon, A. Waldran and James Hopkins.
After this came the old fashioned minatrel pro
gramme. in which in addition to the above
mentioned were James Barlow, Jamca Hopkins,
Jean Welner, G. W Crane and others. When the
burned cork artist* retired, an olio performance
waa given in which a number of well-known
amatuers took part. Mrs. M. ti. Story sang a
Bong quite beautifully, and Miss Maigeret Mc-
Kinney also delighted the audience with a
vocal gem. Miss Grace E. Koch rendered "Fare
well, Sweet Flower," in a beautiful manner and
gained great rounda of applause. These are but
a few features of a most eujoyable affair, and
although it was after midnight when "Auld
Laug Syne" was sung, not a single person waa
wearied by the pleasures of the evening. The
benefit netted quite a handsome sum for the
Seattle Lodge, No 92, B. P. 0. E.
Hanlon'e "Saperba" at Cordray's.
John F. Cordray has billed the Hanlon Broth
•r§' "Superba" Company for March 3i and April
1 and 2. Saturday, April 2, there will be a
matinee and evening performance. The extra
ordinary success following the production of
tnjs great spectacular piece insures for it a
graud run in this city. Nothing approaching
this play has ever been displayed in the spec
tacular line here, and "Eighty Days around the
World," though eminently attractive, is not to
be ranked in the same class. A Ban Francisco
daily says oi the p'.ay and its production:
The Hanlon Brothers' spectacular play, "Su
perba,'' filled every »cat at the California last
night, and there were many who had to he sat
isfied with standing room. The show is pretty,
as the Hanlons' productions always arc. Tha
costumes are bright and new, and there is glory
and glitter enough about the transformations
for a children's heaven. The specialties are
most of them good, the acrobatic feats of the
bchrode brothers being better than anything of
the sort that has been here for a long time.
There are a series of shadowy pictures that are
miraculously funny, and some bull-fighting
tableaux that are quite effective. There is a
balloon ascension with a donkey and a clown
hanging to it, just like in the pictures, and peo
ple laughed at it just as much aa if it had any
connection with the story.
Notes of the Stage.
Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theater Company
has only had to give sixteen plays in four years
and a halt
Corinne is said to be proving more popular
than ever this year, and her company is consid
ered excellent.
"The Spider and Fly," in its new dress and
manifold novelties, has proved one of the genu
ine successes of the season.
May Irwin and Otis Harlan have been engaged

calling attention to Patti Rosa's engagement at
the Tabor Grand, in that city, says: "It is not
the drama that people will go to see, bnt the
jollity, breeziuess and pleasure of Patti Rosa'a
impersonations; to catch the infection of her
spirits; to enjoy her graceful dancing; her
vivacity and the witchery of her acting. Her
measure has already been taken by Denver
audiences, and in the qualities that serve to
give the maximum amount of pleasure and en
joyment she is an exact fit."
