OFF ITS OWN LAND. Startling Charge in Regard to the Ram's Horn. track built too far west. of Narrow Gauge Salt Against Llchtenberg and 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 somedistince eastward ot where it has been aupposed to be. Some weeks ago August Mehlhorn, who owns a saloon building at the corner of Columbia and Post streets, began excavation for a new building on the land between the saloon and the ram's horn trtok. The Columbia 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, but that an actual survey made br him on May 17, 1892, shows that the Northern Pacilic track, which now occupies 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 Southwick building. 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 railroad com pan 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. HOB. I. J. Llehtenherg Will Appear Today Before Insane Asylnm Trustees.

East of store was the telegraph 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 the street.

A PARISIAN ROMANCE. Mansfield's Subtle Rendering of an Old Libertine. MOST POWERFUL AT THE CLIMAX A Strong Spoiled by an Anti- An Able Brammell" Tonight. Seattle's most representative audience gathered at the Armory last night to sec and hear Richard Mansfield and his company 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 the central character. 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 people of the play. Manstield was himself the central character 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 tottered 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 thunderbolt 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 intluence that told of the proximity of deatb. The mind, though prepared in advance 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 leadlike 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 premiere danseuse, was clever. It was a part that hung lightly on her, and to some extent was beneath her abilities. As Marcelle, the wife of Henrv de Targy, Adele Measor was excellent in the reception-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 all that could have been desired.

She is an actress of the old school, that had for its motto, modesty and conscientious work. W. J. Eerguson, who has been a star himself, as Tirandel had very little to do, nor did he do that remarkably 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 distinctively the best, of Mr. Mansfield's performances. The part suits him completely, 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.

The Great Player 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 nteixigescek. and for an hour the actor chatted on dramatic art, his aspirations, piaywriting and kindred topics. nation is great in the ratio of its appreciation 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 the world to secure the services of the masters. "The true artist always falls below his own aims, and that the are not with him is no good 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 of mv dreams. "In the olden days Kemble, Macready, Forrest, Fcchter and Booth looked their applause to the galieries. We have had no galleries in the West on account of the cheap theaters, and this leads me to say that the cheap theater is what will prevent America from reaching thing uke an ideal native drarnx It cost-; to put on a new p.ay in any fa ay before the proprietor can know of the return. It may be a fai ure, an that is why things that are not xnowie u-cesses are so risky. Such experiments cannot succeed in cheap nor at low prices.

"I have been harshly assailed nt encouraging American I hav. given them as much encoura ient aany 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 "Merchant of Venice," "Macbeth" and "Othel'o." The stories they reveal might be told in five linen, yet the marvelous 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, the portrayal please? "A habit hns prown up which some people call good breeding, to sit and listen in the theater without giving any expression of pleasure or of disapproval. I consider it good breeding to do the opposite. 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 affords the basis of his inspiration, that is, if he deserves it." Mr. Mansfield was courteous and interesting. He talks well, has positive convictions and is ambitious. AHUBEMKKT9. "The Power of the Press" at Armory.

"The Power of the Press" is a play of the people 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 knife character of tho genus melodrama. There is a strong contrast, indeed, between this play and the ordinary turgid melodrama, in that the present authors and stage maaagers seemed to have agre on the necessity for rapid and continuous action. The necessity for action being agreed on, one discovers 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, without regard to the affairs of others. There is still another advantage which "The Power of the poss SISCB over many other late productions. It nn been the prevailing notion 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 and some of Manhattan Club entrance, the actress' boudoir, the ship yard and the forecastls deck of the bark Mary of more thau ordiuary effectiveness. The most impressive of all, however, as WJII In appearance 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 presentation 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 is sufficient evideuce both of Its merit as a play and its talented 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 villain 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 only care Is for the futuro oi her little boy. The portrayal of these characters 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. The contract for the bridging on the Everett Monte Cristo railroad has been let to the San Francisco Bridge Company.

The Law Protects Salmon at the Wrong: Season. TWO DEALERS GIVE THEIR VIEWS Close Sriion la Not Needed on Salt 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 operation of the state law prohibiting the catching of salmon in Puget sound and its tributaries 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 quantities 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 spawning 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 Ainsworth Dunn, fish dealers in Seattle, was interviewed by a 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 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. Building During May.

You cannot tell them from the higher priced fact they are the same in everything except the special to advertise the toilet articles section. When summer comes and roads are days are warm an pave- ments hot. ter, wmakind Ml v3ill want foot i comfort, 'u 'Vv I I andthats where we can say "it's here." dif- ferent sorts of ladies' low shoes are shown in the ladies' shoe department and not a single style but that have foot comfort, as well as shoe beauty and wearing quality. Prices are down to the most satisfactory buying point. Low shoes from up.

If you want a cloth top shoe nice and stylish and good value for the money, ask for the line of $3.50 cloth top shoes. The only reason for regular checked nainsooks at a yard is a mistake of the shipper to us. We said so many pieces he sent four times as much. His is the lossyours the profit. These special nainsooks will probably last out this week long as any of them remain they go at a yard.

Tomorrow, Saturday, we will have a good special offering for men and boys. It will interest them and if you will read our advertisement and tell the men folks about what we offer they will certainly be among our customers tomorrow. And tell them to keep their eyes open for our regular Saturday specials in their departments. The lilacDougall kSouth wick Co.
