A year ago the Boys Department of this excellent institution was opened. The first anniversary of the opening of this department has just been celebrated with befitting ceremonies. Senator Tillman, forced by an audience's disaproval to leave the hall, was oblige to go into the street to finish a lecture on the race question, in Sacramento, Cal. The lecture was under the Y. M. C. A. auspices, and he had been asked to leave out mention of the race affairs. Mr. Tillman retorted that he would not be gagged by a Parsel of mules and offered to re-the check given him for the lecture. This was refused, and the difference was patched up until the Senator suddenly interjected the race problem in his address. Thomas Bass, of Mexico Mo. a colored man, had six horses onexhibition at the Iowa State Fair. His sSpecialty is saddle horses. Mr Bass has achieved notable distinction in his line. The superiority of his horses was a reflection of the intelligence of their owner. So it is, here and there the race has members that are measuring up to their opportunities, doing the best possible things in their line. These are the bright spots which are too often overlooked when taking race inventory. There is a lesson to be gained,owing to the successes o Mr. Bass. It is this: That the race will reach proficiency in these matters with which they are best acquainted. In this respect they are not different from others. Colored men have a fine knowledge of horses. Many haue profited by it, as they have in other fields. In time they will graduate in the larger spheres of usefulness, in the commercial world with its many branches, when and where the race will be at its best. London. Arthur Baekley, the black president of Liberia, is in England seeking a loan for improvements that his People have long hoped for. He refused however to be interviewed. The president who is as black as any ethiopian, was accompanied by the attorney general and other prominent officials of the republic. The republic of Liberia was foundy Abolitionists of the United State who helped emancipated slaves to emigrate there. Owing to the fact that the Colored Americans of this city had the good sense not to make a row about the coming of United States Senator Tillman, who gave a lecture in this city under the auspices of the university of Washington at Dreamland Rink last Tuesday night, the full house did not materialize. Whereas it was expected that the seating capacity of the rink would be taxed to the utmost, there was only about 600 present. The cause of this lack of attendance was because the Colored Americans did not protest and the meeting did not receive the usual amount of free advertisement. The Dreamland Rink has a seating capacity of 2000 and there was about two-thirds of the seats vacant. The best move the Colored Americans of this dity eve made was to make no protest against the speaking of Tillman. This city has a population of 300,000 and there was in all about 600 people present and these consisted mostly of Universita stndents. The daily papers mention the fact that Tillman was interrupted by a mulatto. This in itself is duite true, and though some of the undesirable citizens yelled "Put him out" and one of yhe same calibre rushed up to him, we can safely say that had Tillman opened his eyes he would have seen just how far the white man will go. Mr. Carey Larue the Colored American who challenged Tillman, went to the rink in company with the city editor of this publication, and the city editor was an eye witness to the.affair One gentleman got very excited when Mr. La Rue challenged Mr. Tillman, Shaking his finger in his face La Rue said; Put your finger on me you cur and I will kill you: thereupon the excited gentleman returned to his seat Seattle Searchhigh. THE PLAINDEALER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY? The only A. J. Young failed to make his appearance according to promise. Some of our prominent society men and women encourage our youth in their wrong doing. George Lee called last Saturday his Waterloo. All the Old Young, Lame, Halt, Blind, Saint and Sinner played the races so strong last week. Charles Reed abandoned the water wagon when he made a winning at the race track. The Colored Rosebud is so worried as to some other fellows grammar. Some of the high flyers who are Playing so fast and loose, do not realize that they will be discovered. Why a certain young lady from Butte said she had not seen Helena until she met Arthur Palmer. Senator Murrill got so busy last Sunday and Monday. So many hubbys have on their fight ing togs at this time. James Vanzey failed to come over and boom the Elks. J. W. Duncan never ventures out of that shell. Havre failed to be represented at the great State Fair. ADDIONAL LOCALS W. C. Rose was in the city this week he reports great progress on his Inmber contract.

Most of the farmers have sold their grain. The entire city of Wenatchee is in dire straits because of a flume being washed out at the Wenatchee Electric company. No power is to be had in the city, nor lights, and as a result the entire community has been plunged into a state of things bordering on the archale.

The state filed a motion in the district court today for a continuance of the case of George A. Pettibone, which was previously set for October 1. The defense opposed the motion, but Judge Wood, although making no formal ruling, said it would be necessary to continue the case until the trial of Senator Borah is concluded. Attorney Hawley, who is defending Borah, said the government claimed it would require four weeks to try the Borah case, but the defense was of opinion that it would not take more than two weeks. MONTANA NOTES. There is no intention of removing the Great Northern division offices from Whitefish. Uithlin, general manager of Schlitz Brewing company, while starting on a hunting trip at Browning recently was thrown from a horse and both of his legs were broken. A decided misapprehension exists relative to the effect of the recent decision of Judge Bourquin at Butte relative to Montana's remairair law as respects divorced persons. The selection of a state home for the Odd Fellows' fraternity will be determined on September 28, next, and the contest has narrowed down to three cities—Bozeman, Missoula and Helena.

Penrose of Philadelphia, brother of Senator Boles Penrose, had as narrow an escape from death in a combat with an infuriated bear as ever a hunter had. The work of constructing the Cove irrigating canal, which will reclaim a large tract of land between Billings and Columbus is practically finished, and the big ditch will be turned over to the stockholders in a short time. The announcement that copper had dropped 18 cents below the minimum for the $4 wage scale has caused all kinds of rumors of dire things to happen in the way of reducing the wages of the miners at Butte. By the derailment of an eastbound Seaboard Air Line passenger train at Wilcox creek, one mile from Helena, recently, the baggageman and three negroes were seriously injured and many others slightly cut and bruised. Rumbling like an earthquake, then crashing like an explosion of dynamite, the Lulu theater building, in the course of construction on West Broadway, Butte, by Dick Sutton, crumbled and fell into a shapeless, tangled mass recently, injuring three workmen and tangling up in the debris 16 others. Never before in the history of Flat head county has harvest been so late August. 18 held the record until this year, when it is not believed the wheat will all be in shock before September 30, and under these conditions the directors of the Flathead Fair association have decided to postpone that event from next week to October 9, 10, 11 and 12, about the same dates as last year. OREGON ITEMS The bumper wheat crop is nearly all sold in Athena section and is being delivered as fast as the warehouses can receive it. Arthur Suter, aged 13 years, was drowned in the Willamette river near Risley Station, on the Oregon Water Power & Railway line, recently. Fire at Troutdale Sunday destroyed the O.

The actual matter of the rules has not been materially changed, owing to the satisfaction that was found with the wholesale revision which took place in the rules of 1906. It was determined to increase the playing time another 10 minutes by adding five minutes to each half. It was voted to continue the method of two umpires. The 10-yard rule is preserved exactly as before. Forward passing has been altered to a certain extent, making it less risky to use it on the first and second down. Instead of losing the ball in case the forward pass strikes the ground before striking a player of either side, the same side retains possession of the ball by losing 15 yards in distance. When the forward pass is essayed on the third down, however, and it strikes the ground without striking a player, or is otherwise made illegally, the ball must be surrendered to the other side exactly as formerly. That a line man may carry the ball, provided he does not leave his position in the line until the ball is put in play. It was also determined that the four ward pass or tripping or hurdling by the side that did not put the ball in play in a scrimmage, should be penalized 15 yards. In order to prevent signaling by one man and a catch and run by another, it was legislated that if one man of the side signals his intention of making a fair catch, and then another of his side who did not signal, makes the catch, this player may not run with the ball nor is he entitled to the privileges coming from a fair catch, but the ball must be put down at the point where he caught it for a scrimmage by his side. Dan Kelly Fails Jamestown, Va.—Two world's records were smashed at the games for the amateur national championships here today. John Flanagan of the Irish-American A. C. made a new mark in throwing the 56-pound weight, his figure being $8 feet $ inches. The other record was made by Ralph Rose, the young western giant, who put the shot 49 feet $ 6½ inches. The meet was for senior champions and was easily won by the Irish-American A. C. of New York with 62 points. The New York A. C. was second with 21 points and the Chicago A. C. third with 16. The feature of the meet was the disappointing showing of Dan J. Kelly of Portland, Ore, who was badly beaten in the 100-yard dash. He broke the A. A. U. record in the broad jump, however. The sprinting races were slow and disappointing from a record-breaking standpoint. 100-yard dash—Won by H. J. Huff Chicago A. C.; W. D.

CHINESE AND JAP QUARTERS RAIDED BY MOB. Worst in Western Canada's History—Property Damaged Amounts to More Than $15,000—Japs Thrown Into the Sound—Indemnity Will Be Claimed—International Trouble Expected. Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 9.—Following a riot in which Chinatown and the Japanese quarter were raided and damage done of approximately $15,000, a further demonstration occurred in the early morning hours in which Kikiyiro ishi, chief of the bureau of foreign commerce and head of the Japanese consular service, and Consul Saburo Hisamidzu of Seattle were the central figures and in which riot numberless people were bruised and injured by broken bottles and flying brickbats in the hands of a mob in the throes of frenzy. Baron Ishii and Consul Hisamidzu finally made their escape through the mob and the affair was immediately cabled to Tokio. Coincident with the riot was the arrival of a steamship having on board at least 500 Japanese. With a common impulse the mob surged to the waterfront, and as the Japanese came down the gangplank, they were met by the rioters. Seven or eight of the Japanese were unceremoniously picked up and thrown into Burrard inlet. Still further rioting occurred in the evening about 10 o'clock, when a crowd of about 3000 laborers again started on the war path, but were finally quelled by the police after about 20 arrests had been made. Chinatown is now roped off, and the quarters of the orientals are guarded by the police. Baron Ishii had an interview in which he stated that he had cabled to Ambassador Kaneko at London, apprising him of the stirring events of the last two days. Indemnity from the city to the amount of $25,000 will be claimed. Mayor Beethune declares the indemnity will not be paid, and the affair will be taken up with the dominion government. The rioting was the worst in the history of Western Canada. International complications are looked for. A special from Vancouver, says: A as a result of the disorders the situation here with regard to Asiatics is increasing in menace. Japanese have notified Chief of Police Chamberlain that police protection is inadequate, and they will take steps to protect themselves. Chinese and Japanese employed in hotels and restaurants have withdrawn from work. It is said that leaders have instructed them they must not work, under a penalty of $100. Japanese are purchasing firearms, and the aspect of affairs is threatening. The general opinion in official circles at Ottawa is that Canada will have to pay damages caused by the riots. Gans Wins Over Britt San Francisco, Sept. 10. —A left swing to the body, cleverly blocked by Joe Gans, cost Jimmy Britt any chance he might have had to win back the lightweight championship of the world Monday and brought to a close five rounds of fast fighting, witnessed by a crowd of about 14,000 people. The blow, caught by Gans on his elbow, one of the negro's cleverest defensive tricks, was struck in the middle of he fourth round. It broke Britt's wrist and though he went on again in the fifth round he was helpless in both offense and defense. It was not until hits round that he informed his seconds of the mishap. The fight, while it lasted, was a slugging match, but it was perfectly evident to every trained observer that Britt had no chance to win from the negro. For the first time in his life he was out matched. LATE NEWS ITEMS Frank Schonberger, 15 years of age, was accidently electricuted at Butte last Monday by coming in contact with a live wire.

Rome, Sept. 9.—It is announced at the Vatican that Pope Plus X. will take steps to stop divorces among Catholics. A Vatican commission appointed several months ago to investigate conditions is ready with its report. Though there have been few violations of the canonical law, the commission says there have been 4000 authorized separations recently. Denver, Col.—After being denied the right to marry without being excommunicated by the Catholic church, of which they are devout members, death is about to step in and help "Portland" James A. Doyle, a millionaire mine owner of Cripple Creek, and Miss Marie Duffy, a beautiful telephone operator of Denver, out of their dilemma. In the palmy days of Cripple Creek, just as Doyle was emerging from the poverty class into the ranks of millionaire through fabulous gold stolls in the Portland mine at Victor, he met the dashing and very unconventional Daphne Belle Sutton, who came from a little town in Iowa, fell in love with her and made her his wife. Mrs. Doyle was also known as Belle Daniels before her marriage, and she claimed no particular place as her home. Married life hung heavily on Mrs Doyle, and she grew tired of the restrictions home ties placed upon her Doyle forgave her conduct time after time, but finally divorced her. Mrs. Doyle next became friendly with Kid McCoy, the pugilist, who borrowed a $1000 diamond ring from her and lost it, he claimed. Later, Mrs. Doyle, still beautiful, married a rich copper manufacturer named Whitley and toured the world with him. Again domestic life became irksome to the dashing young woman, and her husband found ample reason to divorce her. Two years ago Mrs. Whitley married Charles Hepner, a rich mining man of Blair, Nev., and went to Honolulu with him. Mrs. Hepner's liberal views on life led to a disagreement. In the meantime she had become afflicted with consumption. Ten days ago she came to Denver, her old stamping ground, for "one last good time". Now her death is hourly expected at a local hospital, and when her soul passes to the great beyond, the romance of "Jimmie" Doyle and Marie Duffy will be consummated in marriage. NEARLY CAUSED A BIOT Arrest of Socialist Speaker at Spokane, Wash. One of the wildest demonstrations ever witnessed on the streets of Spokane took place Saturday night about 10 o'clock, when a frenzied mob of over 2000 people surged about the entrance to the police station furiously clamoring for the release of Mrs. Ida Crouch Hazlett, a socialist orator, who had been arrested only a few minutes before by Patrolman Thomas Lister, under circumstances that tested the officer's nerve to the utmost. Mrs. Hazlett was charged with violating the city ordinance which prohibits persons from obstructing sidewalks and streets, although many socialists who were present assert that she had a permit authorizing her to lecture on the streets. Lister and the woman were followed to the station by a howling mob which increased in numbers as the pain approached the station. Shortly after they entered the door feeling ran so high that it looked for a time as if the mob was intent on storming the basile. Seargeant John Sullivan, with a squad of patrolmen, quelled the rising riot and no violence was attempted, although the rabble continued to cheer their heroine and denounce the police in smothered murmurings. The crowd stood about the entrance to the station and fire headquarters, and was strung south on Howard street as far as Front avenue and east and west on that thoroughfare for over 30 yards. The patrol wagon and the fire apparatus were called out in an effort to disperse the rabble, but the excited populace paid no heed. When Mrs. Hazlett was finally released on furnishing a $25 bond, the mob went wild, as, bareheaded and without a jacket, she led a triumphal procession up Howard street to her quarters at the Central lodging house, between Riverside and Sprague avenues, on Howard street. ROBBED BY MASKED MEN. Go Through and Relieve The Passengers in Train. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 8.—The Rocky Mountain limited express on the Rock Island road was raided just before daylight, near Murdock, Neb., by three masked men. The robbers went through the chair car, robbing every passenger of their pocketbooks and purses, covered the train crew with revolvers and escaped by leaping from the train. The robbers were passengers on the train. Two men went down the isles with hats in hand while the third kept the passengers covered. All passengers were ordered to throw pocketbooks into the hats, and this was done. The conductor appeared in the car with a pistol in his hand, but was promptly covered with four guns and forced to drop his revolver. After getting all the money in the car the robbers jumped from the train which had slowed down for a grade. An attempt was made to enter the sleeper, but it was unsuccessful, as the door was locked.

The House Has Stood for Years as One of the Monuments to the Late Adolph Sutro, Once Mayor of San Francisco—Loss Will Amount to $50,000—Over Half Insured. San Francisco, Sept. 8.—The famous Cliff House of this city, San Francisco's first attraction for tourists, was burned to the ground Saturday evening. Fire broke out in the building about 4:45 o'clock, and an hour later a blackened heap of ruins was all that remained of the historic structure. The house was built of wood, and fanned by the lively ocean breezes, the flames made such headway before the nearest fire company arrived that it was realized that the place was doomed, and more attention was paid to saving adjoining property than to the burning building. The Cliff House had been closed for some time, as the new lessee, John Talt, was remodeling the interior. Workmen were about the place until noon, and then departed for the day. How the fire started is a mystery. This was the second Cliff House to be destroyed by fire. The building which was burned today was erected by Adolph Sutro, of Sutro tunnel fame, 30 years ago. It was owned by the Sutro estate and was valued at $50,000. Tait estimates his loss at $50,000, on which there is $35,000 insurance. The Cliff House was ranked as one of the best known resorts of America. Located on a rocky promontory beyond the Golden Gate, directly above the lashing waves of the Pacific ocean, and affording a close view of the seals disporting on the rocks near shore, it was a strong attraction for visitors, and from its broad porches hundreds of thousands of people obtained their first view of the mighty waters. The magnificent Sutro baths near by were not damaged. The house has stood for years as one of the monuments to the late Adolph Sutro, once mayor of San Francisco, popular more because of his enterprise in providing pleasure for San Francisco and pretty scenes for the visiting tourist than for any other reason. The visitor to San Francisco who failed to see the Cliff House, it was always regarded, had seen but little of the beauties of the city by the Golden Gate. This resort with the bathhouse and museum and other architectural adornments of Sutro Helights, ranked as the first attraction of San Francisco. For years the only means of reaching Point Lobos, on which Sutro chose to make the premier beauty spot of the western coast, drawing the attention of visitors from every corner of the world, was by a novel looking dummy engine which drew two small passenger coaches. The travel became so heavy finally that Sutro constructed his own trolley line from the city, one of the first, if not the first, overhead trolleys ever put in operation in San Francisco. The Cliff House was the first view of land that greeted the incoming ship from the Orient, being visible for miles at sea. LATE NEWS ITEMS.
