OFF ITS OWN LAND.
Startling Charge in Regard to
the Ram's Horn.
track built too far west.
of Narrow Gauge Salt Against
Mehlhorn— .fudge Llchtenberg
and l>r. Wanghop.
, The controversy in regard to the ram's
born right-of-way assumed a new phase
yesterday. An affidavit was filed in the
clerk of court's office, together with the
defendant's answer in the injunction suit
of the Columbia & Puget Sound Railroad
Company against August. Mehlhorn and
Jlatthew Brannagan, the effect of which is
that the land claimed as the ram's horn
right-of-way is not the right-of-way at all,
and that the ram's horn is really somedis
tince eastward ot where it has been aup
posed to be.
Some weeks ago August Mehlhorn, who
owns a saloon building at the corner of
Columbia and Post streets, began excava
tion for a new building on the land be
tween the saloon and the ram's horn
trtok. The Columbia <fc Puget Sound
JUilroad Company, claiming the land in
question as its right-of-way, applied fornn
injunction to prevent the erection of the
bnildine. and was granted a restraining
order. The application for a temporary
injunction is to be heard on June 11.
The affidavit mentioned ia sworn to by
R. H. Thomson, the civil engineer. It
lets forth that the land now claimed as
the right-of-way is not that surveyed by
him and deeded to the railroad company
bjr Angust Mehlhorn and wife on January
51, f*B9, but that an actual survey made
br him on May 17, 1892, shows that the
Northern Pacilic track, which now oc
cupies part of what is alleged to be the
right-of-way, is 62.4 feet west of the center
line of the actual right-of-way. This
would bring it in a straight line from
where the Northern Pacitic track now
crosses Yesler avenue across the present
lite of Mr. Mehlhorn's building, and
serosa Post street, touching the west cor-
nerofthe MacDougall <fc Southwick build
ing. It is understood that this affidavit
irill be made the basis of a claim that the
allured actual right-of-way is forfeited by
non-user.
A F. Burleigh, who represents the rail
road com pan v as general counsel of tho
Orepon Improvement Company, said in
regard to the claim last night: "It does
not disconcert us or worry us in the least.
We can prove our right to the land we
claim by the plat and the right-of-way
deed."
JUDGE AGAINST DOCTOR.

Forcible Detainer Caae.
Judge Osborn and a jury were occnpied
yesterday in the hearing of the case of
the Seattle Operating Company vs. J. J.
Cavanangh et al. for forcible detainer. The
plaintiff alleges that in August, 1881,
through its president, P. H. (ialligher, it
leased a certain piece of ground on Weller
atreet from the Columbia <fe Puget Sound
railroad. A portion of this was then sub
let to the defendants for a term of five
years at a rental of S3O per month. It is
claimed that since January 1,1891, no rent
has been paid. A writ of restitution is
Mked and judgment for back rent due.

Successful Efforts to Saving the Town—

The following particulars of the fire on
Tuesday night at Ptanwood, Snohomish
county, have heen received:
The fire start oil in the atanwood hotel, a two
story tmine, 21xCH feet, with a oue-*tory addi
tion 23x30 loot. Adjoining this WHS the two
story saloon building belong:ng to the hotel, 24
xjO feel in sizo. Near this stood Armstrong's
bail, a two-story building 32xt>4 feet. These
buildings covered the entire east half of blo-k
4, aud belonged to J. H. Armstrong. About
eighty feet north of Armstrong's nail stood the
Norwexinn Lutheran church, aud about »eventy
feet further north the two-story general mer
chandise store of O. K. Melby, and sixty feH
from the store was the Melby hotel. Across the
street from tho Stan wo »d hotel stood the two
story general merchandise st »re of L. H. Smith,
the tobacco an 1 confectionery store of Charles
Hancock, the butcher shop owned by 1. N. Sill,
and the blacksmith shop owned by John Haney.
The*e buildings corned the entire west half of
block 9. East of Smith'* store was the tele
graph office, a two-story building.
When the fire was discovered it had gained
such headway that it win apparent that without
better appliances to fight fire than was at hand
the hotel could not be saved, and all energies
were directed' to save Armstrong's hall and the
Smith store, acr >ss the street. With but a few
ladders and buckets the Stan wood boys worked
like heros, but to uo avail The he*t w»s too
intense, and at 9 o'clock the hall caucht Are. A
stiff breeso wus coming from the south and
drove the flames across the street and into the
church, which was soon iu flames. At this
period strong hopes were entertained that
Melby's store might be saved. Ladders were
raised and a bucket brigade formed. Those on
the ro >f did not quit their post until the build
ing caught Are inside from the Intense heat and
tongues of 9ime leaped from every window.
Then the Meiby hote caught fire, but at that
moment the wind veered a little to the west and
the boys with axes and crowbars tore off the
shingles ana siding on the burning building, and
the bucket company having found a new supply
of water in a slousrh near by, furnished watur as
fast as the lire lighters could throw it, and the
building was saved.
About the time Armstrong's ball fell the
Smith store caught fire and was burued. All
energies were then directed to save the Miller <fc
Brown build inn, across Broadway, and the tele
graph building, and the tiro was checked at
this point by the almost superhuman work of
the men. The log boom men, with their calked
boots, ran over the steep root on the charred
shingles and poured water wherever necessary.
The most singular spectacle was the bell tower
of the church standing a charred skeleton with
its large bell, sixty from tho ground, after
all the other buildings burned bad fallen. It,
too, finally fell The losses, approximately, as

TOE SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER. FRIDAY. JUNE 3. 1892.
A PARISIAN ROMANCE.
Mansfield's Subtle Rendering of
an Old Libertine.
MOST POWERFUL AT THE CLIMAX
A Strong Dr»m» Spoiled by an Anti-
Climax— An Able Company—"Bean
Brammell" Tonight.
Seattle's most representative audience
gathered at the Armory last night to sec
and hear Richard Mansfield and his com
pany present "A Parisian Romance." The
presentation was an artistic one in every
respect, the people were well pleased and
the star was given an ovation at the end
of the fourth act. •
"A Parisian Romance" is a peculiar and
not altogether attractive play. It tells the
story of a rich libertine, who has no faith
in human virtue, who covets every pretty
woman and who regards gold as the god
of the modern world. He accepts with
brutal business instinct a noble sacritice,
hoping the fall in the fortunes of
his friends will aid in ministering to
his passions and is stricken with death
at the festive board, where but a moment
before sparkling champagne moistened
his dry and crusty lips. The lirst act
drags, the second, third and fourth are
full of wit, humor, dramatio situations,
ending in a magniticent climax with the
death of Baron Chevria!. the central char
acter. There the play should have ended,
but the author must needs pile on another
twenty minutes of sentiment, must give
the audience another death, removing in
the true style of romance all obstacles to
the happiness of the excessively good peo
ple of the play.
Manstield was himself the central char
acter of the piay as Baron Chcvrial. He
looked the broken roue who bargained
with his physician for temporary relief
from the ell'ects of indulgence. His hands
trembled, his eye quivered, his feet tot
tered and his voice was hard and crusty
when not weak from a graduV. collapse of
the system. His acting in the banquet
scene was the perfection of art. He
did not drop dead as if struck by a thun
derbolt from heaven. Even before his
guests arrived he began to show signs of
serious illness, but he recovered. All
through the gay scene, however, there
was something in the air, some unseen in
tluence that told of the proximity of
deatb. The mind, though prepared in ad
vance for some unusual occurrence, is not
yet wrouKlit up to the awfulness of the
death Mansfield makes the baron
die. The face is white, the eyes bursting
from their sockets, the lines in
the cheeks deepened, the whispers
hoarse, the arms widely extended, a lead
like fall and all is over. The banquet hall
that had echoed to the merry jest is still
as a churchyard. While other members
of the company are distinguished people,
there was but one character in the play,
and that the Baron.
Miss Cameron as Rose Guerin, the pre
miere danseuse, was clever. It was a part
that hung lightly on her, and to some ex
tent was beneath her abilities. As Mar
celle, the wife of Henrv de Targy, Adele
Measor was excellent in the re
ception-room scene, but entirely too
hysterical in a part that required
the portrayal of deep emotion.
As Dr. Chesnel, Mr. Hark ins was truly
excellent. He is an actor of fine presence,
and reads his lines with great dignity and
force. Mrs. Julia Brultone, as Madame de
Targy,was all that could have been de
sired. She is an actress of the old school,
that had for its motto, modesty and con
scientious work. W. J. Eerguson, who
has been a star himself, as Tirandel had
very little to do, nor did he do that re
markably well. The other members of the
company fitted well in a very harmonious
whole. The scenery and costumes both
were excellent.
Tonight "Beau Brummell" will be
given. This is one of the best, if not dis
tinctively the best, of Mr. Mansfield's
performances. The part suits him com
pletely, for the Beau he presents is not
the dandv of history, but the Beau into
wKom Mansfield has breathed his own
vital energy and genius. Following will

RICHARD MANSFIELD, ACTOR.
The Great Player Talk* Entertainingly
of His Art.
Richard Mansfield, the actor, arrived in
Seattle yesterday in his private car named
after him. Shortly afterward he was
visited by a representative of the Post- I n
teixigescek. and for an hour the actor
chatted on dramatic art, his aspirations,
piaywriting and kindred topics.
'•A nation is great in the ratio of its ap
preciation of art," he said. "It was so in
the days of Justinian and Xero, and it is
equally true of our own day and time.
Nero was a cruel monster, but an artist
withal, and the rulers both of Greece and
Home sent through >ut the world to secure
the services of the masters.
"The true artist always falls below his
own aims, and that the per>p!e are not
with him is no good rea>on why he should
lower his ambitions. I was told at the
outfeet of mv career bv friends in Boston,
who are really interested in me, that I
must come down to the people. I will rit
do it. Money is no: t'ue "be all and end ad*
of mv dreams.
"In the olden days Kemble, Macready,
Forrest, Fcchter and Booth looked f>r
their applause to the galieries. We
have had no galleries in the West on ac
count of the cheap theaters, and this leads
me to say that the cheap theater is what
will prevent America from reaching an\-
thing uke an ideal native drarnx It cost-;
S2O.< V| o to put on a new p.ay in any fa r
w ay before the proprietor can know of the
- -.ghtest return. It may be a fai ure, an !
that is why things that are not .. xnowi
e ig»-d > u-cesses are so risky. Such ex
periments cannot succeed in cheap
;neater- nor at low prices.
"I have been harshly assailed l r nt
encouraging American author*. I hav.
given them as much encoura v ient a
any actor dare, and today I wiii gladh
welcome any new work winch possesses
merit and is suited to me. we want
is the presentation of character; not sj
much the story. Why does Shakespeare
live? Because all of his great works are
of characters. Take "Lear," "Richard
III.," "Merchant of Venice," "Macbeth"
and "Othel'o." The stories they reveal
might be told in five linen, yet the mar
velous breadth of character gave to the
actor the cue of portrayal and the actor
preserved them.
"Is my Berm Brummell the character of
history? It makes no difference whether
it is or not. It is my Beau Brummell and
I respectfully maintain that that with
which tiie critic has to do is simply to
consider whether the Beau Brummell
which I conceive is well done. I have
dowered the Beau with some qualities of
human sentiment which must have a good
influence on the popular heirt, and all I
ask is, di>es the portrayal please?
"A habit hns prown up which some
people call good breeding, to sit and lis
ten in the theater without giving any ex
pression of pleasure or of disapproval. I
consider it good breeding to do the oppo
site. The artist lives spiritually by the
breath of feeling and sympathy which his
work commands. Therefore the public
should give to him that which really af
fords the basis of his inspiration, that is,
if he deserves it."
Mr. Mansfield was courteous and inter
esting. He talks well, has positive con
victions and is ambitious.
AHUBEMKKT9.
"The Power of the Press" at Armory.
"The Power of the Press" is a play of the peo
ple and destined to succeed. it Is constructed
along the lines of real life and, though realistic,
it is not dull, nor yet is it of the lurid red fire,
pistol an<i knife character of tho genus melo
drama. There is a strong contrast, indeed, be
tween this play and the ordinary turgid melo
drama, in that the present authors and stage
maaagers seemed to have agre d on the neces
sity for rapid and continuous action. The
necessity for action being agreed on, one dis
covers in nearly every scene that unnamed
individuals come and go, appear aud disappear,
crossing and recroislng the scene merely to give
vitality without taking any part in the dialogue
or plot. This may be noticed particularly in the
grand set of the Manhattan Athletic Club,
where, while the meetings take place without,
members and atteudauts outer and depart from
the club without being In the least connected
with tho affairs of the actors. In the shipyard
scene a similar activity may be observed umong
the workmen, wbo come and go on various
errands, attending to their own business, with
out regard to the affairs of others.
There is still another advantage which "The
Power of the Pre<s" poss SISCB over many other
late productions. It nn been the prevailing no
tion among modern play writers that each act
should consist or one net scene. This practice
necesnltates the entry an I exit of performers in
a strained and unnatural manner, one or two
coming in and ignoring the presence of a dozen
others who are in full view. It will be seen,
too, that with about thirty speaking characters
named in the play, there is a great chance for
action without counting the silent auxiliaries.
There are thirteen scenes In "The Power of tho
Pre.«s."' and some of thein—the Manhattan Club
entrance, the actress' boudoir, the ship yard and
the forecastls deck of the bark Mary Vale—are
of more thau ordiuary effectiveness. The most
impressive of all, however, as WJII In appear
ance as in the transformation to and from,
Is the entrance to tho club. Its going
out Is quite as effective as its coming
into view. As to the power of the press, that
cuts no figure In the play beyond a grand appeal
to it in the actress' boudoir in the hotel. And
it may as well be said hero as anywhere that
Miss Shannon presents a charming picture of the
overdressed actress, or prima-donna rather, fa
Annie Carson's apartments in the second act,
and her childish delight at the happiness created
by unexpected relief In the home of poverty
and misfortune on Christmas eve is as well done
as could be desired. There will be plenty ot
good artistic acting in the company's presenta
tion of the play at Armory hall, beginning next
Monday night, notabty by James E. Wilson,
forcible aud as Steven Carton; Miss
Ida Waterman, as Mrs. Carson; Charles Mason,
as the villain; C. 11. Riegel, as DeWitt Norwood;
Herbert Patee, as Harold; Charles Kidder, as
Sam, and Mr. Martin and Miss Hackett, as Mr.
and Mrs. O'Callaghan.
<• Alone In London."
The success attending the production of
"Alone in London" at Cordray s is sufficient
evideuce both of Its merit as a play and its tal
ented presentation by the Cordray company.
Its scenic beauties as well as the briskness of its
action keeps the attention of tho audience in a
state of uninterrupted concentration from the
first to the last scene. The character of the vil
lain is as repulsive as human duplicity and
meanness could possibly be pictured, and is
rendered more so by the contrast with the pure
aud loyal wife w:iose only care Is for the futuro
oi her little boy. The portrayal of these char
acters is cleverly executed by Miss Eleanor
Barry and Lorimer Johnstone. Pisarello, the
French musical comedian, is the chief figure in
the auditorium, and he was lustily applauded
last night.
Bridges on Monte Crlnto Road.

A FISHERMEN'S KICK.
The Law Protects Salmon at
the Wrong: Season.
TWO DEALERS GIVE THEIR VIEWS
Close Sriion la Not Needed on Salt
Water—fanners Gain and Fresh
Fish Dealers Lose.
Repnor Dahl, ft fish exporter of Port
Townsend, has sent a letter to tne I'OST-
IsTELLKiENCER complaining of the opera
tion of the state law prohibiting the catch
ing of salmon in Puget sound and its tribu
taries Irom March 1 to June 1 each year.
Mr. Dahl claims that the law works great
hardship on the fishermen and gives no
protection to the fish; that the salmon
come into the Sound in very small quan
tities during the closed period, going to
the mouths of the streams apd along the
shores seeking food, but not to spawn, as
the water is too cold. Then in June and
July the jack and tyee salmon run heavier,
but they do not spawn until later, and in
August and September the great rush
of salmon come in on their spawning
run. He claims that the regular spawn
ing season is from October 15 to December
1, and that this might be made the closed
period, with protection to the tish and
without injury to any one, for the salmon
are then poor and soft and unlit for use.
crowding up the fresh water streams, in
which piles of them are killed and thrown
away on account of their poor quality. He
says that every fisherman will bear him
out in his statements regarding the habits
of the salmon, and he feels that a thorough
knowledge of the subject will lead to a
change in the law.
E. E. Ainsworth, of the firm of Ains
worth & Dunn, fish dealers in Seattle,
was interviewed by a POST-INTKI.LIOBSCER
reporter yesterday on this question and
he said:
There is no occasion for protecting flsh In
salt water. It is not done anywhere e.se In tho
world. It would he all right to protect salmon
in the fresh water streams from say October 15
to December 1, when tbey are spawning, but
thero Is no occasion for protecting them in tho
Sound. As it is now. the law is a farce, and
seems to bave been inspired by the canners, who
always hate to see a fresh fish on the market.
It is the same way on the Columbia river, only
there the closed season is from March I to April
L Then the cannors open tip and run their
canneries until July 1, when there is another
closed season. The effect of the law here is to
work hardship on the fishermen, who rely oa
their trade as a means of making a living.

What we forgot to say yes
terday about those special toilet
soaps—lsc for a box of three
or four cakes—is that they are
delicately scented with fragrant
perfumes. You cannot tell
them from the higher priced

same in everything except the
price—made special to adver
tise the toilet articles section.

are shown in the ladies' shoe

ask for the line of $3.50 cloth
top shoes.
The only reason for regular
checked nainsooks at
6%c a yard is a mistake of the
shipper to us. We said so
many pieces ; he sent four times
as much. His is the loss—
yours the profit. These special
nainsooks will probably last out
this week —as long as any of
them remain they go at 6j£c a

Tomorrow, Saturday, we will
have a good special offering for
men and boys. It will interest
them and if you will read our
