The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society Jacona VOL. VI NO. 44 COLLEGE CHIMES From University of Washington. DR. BECKDOLT LECTURES About Pennsylvania's Scotch-Irish Colony's Characteristics. STATE PRESS COMMENT Washington State Boasts of Many Creameries and Cheese Factories - The Ben E. Snipes Bank Concern is Finally Closed Prospects for Fine Fruit Crop in the State Never Better. Last week Dr. Beckdolt entertained the students at Assembly hall by a series of lectures on different sections of Pennsylvania. The first two lectures were largely devoted to the physical features of that part of Pennsylvania occupied by the Scotch-Irish. Then Dr Beckdoltt took up the people themselves and told in a pleasant conversational way the manners and characteristics of those people Dr. Beckdoltt is a German to the core and he aroused the curiosities of the students, when, in the course of his remarks, he told of how he himself was related to the Scotch-Irish of Pennsylvania, but on explaining that, it was only through his wife everyone felt greatly relieved. The different lectures were well attended and increased in popularity as they continued. The subject was one with which Dr. Beckdoltd had great familiarity, he having been connected with the Lafayette college located in Pennsylvania for a number of years. The Junior class concert held in Denny Hall last Friday evening was a success both financially and otherwise. Between two and three hundreds persons were in attendance and showed the greatest appreciation of the excellent musical program, which was being rendered. Besides the orchestra and mandolin club the most notable celebrities on the program were Aubrey Levy and Miss Stevens. The affair was widely advertised and the proceeds of the evening amounted to about $50, which amount will go towards defraying the expenses of publishing the Junior Annual. Prof. Priest's class in forensics is now dealing with some of the most momentous questions of the hour. Last Thursday it discussed the subjects of "Railway pooling" and government ownership of railroads. The week before it disposed of the question, "Quay's admission into the Senate," and also the "municipal ownership of street car lines in Seattle." By the end of the year the class will have received excellent training in style, delivery and argument. Among those members of the class who seem likely to win distinction in this field are: Messrs. E. W. Schrowder and U. S. Griggs. The young ladies gave an informal reception at their dormitory to the faculty ladies last Monday evening. The Misses Stevens took the leading part in the affair and rendered a few musical selections which were rare treats. One of the most valuable literary donations which the university library has been the recipient of in quite a long time, was at the hands of Mr. J. W. Clise. The collection includes twenty-seven volumes of the Geological Survey and thirty-nine on miscellaneous subjects, the most important of which are: Four volumes of the Pennsylvania Magazine, three volumes of the Annals of Philadelphia, one of Governor Stevens' reports, the memoirs of Gen. Lee, the Life of William Penn and three volumes of Lord Cornwallis. --- Besides these are old maps of the United States, Seattle and Puget Sound. The university people feel highly elated over this valuable gift and no one more so than the librarian, W. H. C. Coffman, whose ambition it is to secure as many as possible of works of this kind. The Thurston county Republican convention, which met in Olympia in the Unitarian church, according to the Washington Standard, "was a circus in a church." The Standard is uncompromisingly Democratic and that may have had something to do with prompting it to make such an elaborate statement, and yet, a circus in a church is not half so bad as a circus in a three ringed tent. Senator George Turner threatens to carry the state of Washington for Bryan by 10,000 majority. He may be able to do that thing, but most persons thought that the Senator was no longer connected with the Le Roi mine, and he was never known to carry anything until he came in possession of that vote producer. The great Ben E. Snipes concern, which went to the wall some years ago, is about to close its last chapter. The receiver thereof has about $8000 on hand to be divided among the hundreds of hungry creditors and that done nothing more will remain. About the only persons that have reaped anything out of the concern since it went to the wall were its various receivers. The South Bend Journal is repenting that it printed "the big tree story" some time ago. It read just like a prevarication when it first came out, but since newspaper men never tell such things, it was passed around the circle and its authenticity vouched for. Repentance for wrong committed is better late than never. Washington state at present has 106 creameries and 31 cheese factories. If it had five times that many more of each, it could use all of their products. The state is compelled to send outside for too much of the necessities that its citizens do consume. There are numerous Klondikes to be found in this state and not in gold mines at that, if one would only turn his energies thereto. It is thought that the prospects for a fine fruit crop in this state were never more promising than at present. It was feared for a while that the cold weather would seriously hurt the budding trees, but that danger has quite passed now and a big fruit crop is expected. "Old time activity is beginning to come to this camp, and inside of thirty days things will be booming, writes the Index Miner. The reason for this declaration is that strangers are arriving there daily and looking out for business locations and that the mines which have been running slowly all winter are now getting ready to greatly increase the size of their crews. Quite a number of immigrants are daily landing at Wenatchee, writes the Chelan Leader, and they are said to be settling in Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan counties. A little over a million feet of lumber, was last week shipped from Grays Harbor to San Francisco. This was the largest cargo ever sent out from Grays Harbor. There is to be a summer school of science at the State Agricultural college at Pullman this year. It will begin June 26th and continue six weeks. Young scientists, teachers, and specialists along the line of chemistry and geology will receive valuable instructions. Eighteen dollars pays for the term's board and rent. The business outlook was never better for Grays Harbor than now. Every mill is crowded with orders and most of them are running overtime. Both the mills at Hoquiam are running 11 and 12 hours a day, with more orders than they can fill, and the big mill at Cosmopolis, is reported to be arranging for a night crew. This means that all kinds of business on Grays Harbor will flourish.—Hoquiam Washingtonian. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1900. AFRO-AMERICANISM As Seen From a Journalistic Standpoint. COLORED FOLKS RISING In the Scales of Success and Education. Colored Sopranoist Employed— Catholic School in Alabama— New Paper in San Francisco— Wilson Civil Service Commission—Colored Railroad Men to Fight—Masons to Build a Temple—Other Notes. A move has been made by the colored men employed on the various railroads of this country other than porters to unite and fight to the bitter end all those elements of the whites that, from time to time, have united in fighting their being employed and promoted in the railroad service. They will be known as the National Federation of Colored Railwaymen. The organization will include all classes of colored men that are now employed on railroads. The sum of $20,000 has been subscribed to defray the expenses of young colored men at a "technic school" to learn all of the various branches of railroadism, and thereby enter into open competition with their white bretheren for every class of work done in the system of railroading. The fund has many large contributors and well wishers among the leading white citizens of the Middle West and the East. The colored Freemasons of this country (F. A. A. M., including the Scottish Rite and Mystic Schriner) have filed papers of incorporation at Washington City for the purpose of erecting a temple in that city, which is to be the headquarters of colored masonry in this country, and which temple shall be large enough to accommodate the various branches of masonry all over the country and quarters for those in the District of Columbia. The association is capitalized at $25,000 and the shares are to be sold at $1 each non-assesable and full paid. The officers are: President, L. W. Pulies; Secretary, H. C. Scott and John G. Brent, treasurer, all of whom live in Washington City. John G. Jones of Chicago is president of the board of directors. The African Methodist Episcopal Church, Zion, is to elect an additional bishop at its next General Conference, and Rev. J. W. Smith, D. D., editor of the tar of Zion, the organ of the church, which is published at Charlotte, N. C., is one of the leading candidates for the high honor. Dr. Smith has put out a most excellent church paper since he has been in charge of the Star, and, if his work thereon can be taken as a criterion of what his work as a bishop will be, he will prove a most excellent divine for the place. Much, from time to time, has been amusingly said of the illiteracy freaks among the Southern Negroes, who, immediately after the right of suffrage had been conferred upon them, plunged headlong into politics. As members of the legislature of the various Southern states, that they did do some queer things can not be denied, but it would seem impossible for them to have shown their ignorance in a worse form than does the following letter from a white member of the present Maryland legislature to his brother discloses. This member, by the way, was elected on a Democratic ticket, which had this plank in its platform, "We are unalterably opposed to the dominance of the ignorant Negroes and to their holding political offices to any extent or degree." Here is the letter in full: Annapolis, March 6, 1900. "Mr. John W. Hoffacker Dear Bro.: Your letter received Will say that i have bin well there has been quite large delegations wisiting us to-day from Baltimore city the most important one was on the Elictrical Subway bill. i think there might be a considerable amount of Budel floting for somebody before the bill is disposed off you might look up the case and find out which way the wind blows. there might be something in it for us if you find anything out of importance come down or let me know. Rospectfully yours S. H. Hockaffer." "Selling out" does not seem to be confined solely to the man that wears a black skin, if the above lawmaker's words count for anything. This letter was brought to light by a leading Democratic paper of that state. The First Methodist Episcopal church of Chanpaigne, Illinois, whose congregation is composed solely of Caucasians, have selected Chaplain B. W. Arneet's wife as first soprano singer at a magnificent salary for her services. Here is another case of succeeding when you have learned to do well what you attempt to do. Let all persons belonging to the much despised race learn to always excell in all of their undertakings and they will soon find it much easier to get lucrative employment and hold it when they get it. Rev. J. R. Slattery has purchased a large tract of land in Alabama and intends to found a Catholic school for colored children thereon in the near future. The Catholic church is doing a great deal at present toward the education of the colored youth of this country, and the same can be said of every other religious denomination. They all seem determined to educate the race and the race seems equally as determined to educate itself, which is highly commendable on the part of all concerned. San Francisco is to have two Afro-American papers for a while at least, and "The Reporter" is the name of a new semi-monthly paper that has made its appearance on its streets. There are perhaps more Negroes in San Francisco than any other city this side of Kansas City, and yet the newspaper efforts there among the colored folk, seem to have always been rather lame affairs from a business stand point. Western pioneers will call to mind that, the first paper ever published in the West in the direct interest of the Negro was issued in San Francisco, and that paper ran for nearly, if not quite, thirty years and finally died for the lack of proper care and attention. C. C. Wilson of New Orleans, who is employed in the mint there as storekeeper, has recently been made a member of the civil service board of that city, which passes on all applications for that institution, and he was at once elected president of the board. He is the only man of the Negro race that holds a similar position in this country. There is always a continuous warfare among the white and black Republicans of Louisiana as to which faction will boss the situation, which is a drawback to the Negro politicians of that state. Mrs. Blanche K. Bruce, who is now employed as lady principal of the Tuskeegee Normal school of Alabama, of which Booker T. Washington is the president and general directing hand, is making much success in her new role. Mrs. Bruce gave up Washington City society and its facinating surroundings and is making herself useful to her country and especially to the race to which she is identified. For this she is to be congratulated, for it took a brave heart to give up such surroundings as Mrs. Bruce's and go to teaching school and, that too when she had no financial cause to do so. The postoffice department will soon cause to be issued stamp books containing 24, 48 and 94 stamps, which can be carried in the pocket without fear of sticking together. Planted by Nature but Nurtured by Man. GOD'S MANY MYSTERIES Being Brought to Light By Constant Study. ITEMS OF INTEREST Number of Patents Issued—Some Leading Inventors Dead—English-Built Cruiser "Albany" to Arrive Soon—Work of Signal Corps in Philippine Islands—Some U. S. Productions—General Science Notes. Since the American army landed on the Philippine Island the army signal corps has handled, on an average, 2500 dispatches per day. The maxim for one day's was 4000, November 6. Women physicians have become quite numerous throughout Russia and have achieved much fame in the profession. Many are employed by the government at handsome salaries. An epidemic of typhoid fever in a certain community has been traced to celery vegetable grown on sewage fertilized grounds. The Congo Free State government is using the wireless telegraphy to transmit messages to the Upper Congo region. It is working very satisfactorily. "Albany," an English built protected cruiser, is soon to arrive in this country. Here is a brief description of her: Displacement 3,700 tons. Speed 20:73 knots. Maxim coal supply, 800 tons. Complement, 365. Armor, protective deck $1 \frac{1}{4}$ inches on flat, 3 inches on slopes, shields 4 inches. Armament, main battery, six 6 inch rapid-fire, four 4-7 inch rapid fire; secondary battery, ten 6 pounders, eight 1 pounders, two colts. Date 1899. Leander J. McCormick, the inventor of the moving machine which bears his name, died in Chicago February 20th last. He was a Virginian by birth. A lignite bed has been discovered in Russia. The deposit is said to be very extensive and also unusually valuable. Russia is rapidly coming to the front as the greatest mineral producing countries in the world. In 1899 the total number of applications for patents at City Washington were 41,443. In 1898 there were 35,842. In 1897 there were 47,905. The Spanish war caused the fall off in 1898 and 9. The patent office has always been self sustaining with a surplus left over every year. James G. Smith, the inventor of the duplex system of telegraphy, died March 13th ult. Of late years he has been working exclusively on new telephone devices. Charles Piazzle Smyth, Ex-Astronomer Royal of Scotland, died February 13st last. He discovered planet Ceres and has been closely identified with the planetary science and inventive progress since a mere lad. A wine barrel weighing seventy tons and costing $30,000 has been built at Nancy for the Paris exposition. The United States produced last year about 5,200,000, pounds of aluminum, which was about the same as the previous year. Germany imported from this country in 1890 2,000,000 tons of logs. In 1898 it received 2,600,000, LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 an increase of 30 per cent. During the same years sawed lumber to Germany from this country went from 1,200,000 tons to 2,200,000 tons, an increase of 100 per cent. Prince George of Greece proposes to hold an International Exhibition at Canea on the Island of Crete beginning April 11th and closing May 7th. Foreign consuls are exerting themselves to make it a success. The total arrivals for the year ending June 30, 1899, were 311,715, an increase of 82,416 or 36 per cent. Of the total arrivals Europe furnished 297,349; Asia 8,972; Africa 51. In all other countries, 5,343. There were 195,277 males and 116,438 females. According to age, 43,983 were under fourteen years; 248,187 were from fourteen to forty-five and 19,545 were forty-five years or older. As to illiteracy, 60,446 could neither read nor write, and 1,022 could read, but were unable to write. The total amount of money which they exhibited to the officers was $5,414,462; 174,613 had less that $30 each. Pompeii, the ancient Roman city submerged by an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, it has been recently discovered, has a most excellent water system. The source of the city's water supply has not been discovered, but the aqueducts and tubens have been unearthed by scientists and excavaters. An Eastern publication contains an estimate of the 1900 census, which is evidently the result of careful thought and scientific computation. According to the compiler of the statistics which follow, the population has never failed to double in thirty years. The value of property may be questioned, but the average results would be the same. It is considered that the value of property doubles in twenty years, which is only 31 per cent compounded. The assessed value for taxation was $16,000,000,000 in 1880, increased in 1890 to $24,000,000,000, but vast properties escape taxation. Owing to the revulsion of 1893 the assessed valuation has not probably much increased; $100,000,000,000 is convenient for distribution, and may be reduced to percentages. In estimating families a larger number is given to a farmer's family than to urban citizens. Computed on this basis the population this year will be 75,000,000, divided as follows: Agriculturists, 37,000,000; cities, 27,000,000; villages, 11,000,000. There would be 6,000,000 agricultural families, 7,000,000 city families, and 2,000,000 village families. The wealth of the country will be distributed: To farmers, $19,000,000,000; to villagers, $4,000,000,000; to laborers and followers of small trades in cities, $10,500,000,000, and among capitalists, large property owners, merchants, etc., constituting 25 per cent of city residents $66,500,000,000. LESLIES WEEKLY.—A recent writer gives the following summary of what the Negro has accomplished to demonstrate his fitness for civilization. He has reduced his illiteracy forty-five per cent in thirty-five years; Negro children in the common schools number 1,500,000; Negro students in higher institutions, 40,000; Negro teachers, 30,000; Negro students learning trades, 20,000; Negro students pursuing classical courses, 1,200; Negro students pursuing scientific courses, 1,200; Negro students pursuing business courses, 1,000; and Negro graduates, 17,000. There are 250,000 volumes in Negro libraries, 156 institutions for the higher education of Negroes, 500 Negro physicians, 300 books written by Negroes, 250 Negro lawyers, three banks conducted by Negroes, three magazines edited by Negroes, and 400 newspapers under Negro management. The value of their libraries is $500,000, their school property is worth $12,000,000, their church property is valued at $37,000,000, their farms, numbering about 130,000, are worth $400,000,000 (this does not include their homes, valued at $325,000,000); and their personal property is worth $155,000,000. Since the war the Negro has raised $10,000,000 for his own education. The Seattle Republican Telephone, Main 305, The Republican Pub. Co., Publishers OFFICE #12 THIRD AVENUE H. R.

COMING NATIONAL EVENTS. Events of National importance to transpire in the near future are to transpire in the near future are: **MAY 2:** The convening of the Twenty-third delegated general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States at Chicago. The convening of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of the world at Columbus, Ohio. The convening of the Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church of the world at Washington, D. C. **JUNE 19:** The assembling of the National Republican convention of the United States at Philadelphia, Pa. **JULY FOURTH:** The assembling of the Democratic National convention at Kansas City, Mo. **SAME DATE:** The assembling of the Populist National convention. Spring elections in the East did not show much Republican degeneration. Poor old Senator Le Roi he has seen better days, especially when he was a Republican. Dewey's presidential aspirations will be the means of rendering a great man a monstrous political nuisance. A Democratic dollar dinner tasted to a Republican editor no different from a Republican dime dinner. Oom Paul's soldiers showed signs of life the other day and as a result 200 Englishmen are now prisoners of war. "Uncle" Jim Ham seems to handle the "black mammy" English to a Sambo's taste. Its hard to break away from one's early training. Bryan failed to save Tacoma from going Republican, and, in his endeavor to save Tacoma, Lincoln, his home, slipped into the Republican ranks. "It was a regular caution" how Cotterill, Lewis, Blethen and Bryan bonqueted each other at the banquet when such was not even a part of the program. Marcum, it seems, was nothing more nor less than a fizzle braced up by yellow Pop journalism. His presidential boom did not even reach the huge joke state. Cartoons of Bryan showing his bland child-like smile have not been exaggerated by the newspapers. When he smiles he certainly smiles all over his face. The usual calm after the storm followed the Bryan wind storm in the Northwest. Though the storm raged with unusual severeness no damage is reported as having been done. Socialism for this country, literally speaking, does not trouble us to any great extent. We certainly can stand a good deal more socialism than falls to our lot at present. Seattle's chances for getting a million dollar public building are very flattering, so writes Representative Cushman, and, in this, he is heartily endorsed by his colleague, Mr. Jones. It was not exactly the usual "gold brick" swindle by which Dr. J. Eugene Jordan got relieved of his $10,000, but it was akin to it, and, we assure you, dear reader, equally as romantic. Scientists all agree that Andree, the North pole baloon explorer, is long since dead, but an attempt will be made within the coming summer season to find out the exact truth of the matter. Spokane county has now done it to the Indian, the Negro, the Chinaman, and, finally, to the Caucasian as George Webster was hanged as high as Hayman in the Spokane county jail last Friday. --- Official kidnappers do not seem to fare near so well in California as they do in Seattle, as two officers of the law from this state are now in the toils of the California courts for trying the kidnapping dodge. Easter merchants have already made complete arrangements for the wholesale receiving of your entire winter's wages. For the sake of peace in the family it behooves you to quietly acquiesce to the holdup. Col. Allen declares that Bryan is no longer a Democrat. There is no doubt of that, colonel, he is simply a presidential candidate and don't give a darn as to what elects him. Any old party just so he can get to put his grip under the White House bed. "None but friends of labor unions advertise on this card," is the motto of a card said to have been issued in the interest of organized labor in this city, and fifteen (15) saloon advertisements out of thirty appeared thereon. Draw your own conclusions. Using President McKinley's name as an advertisement to sell certain brands of whiskey is a compliment, we surmise, that Mr. McKinley would not greatly appreciate, since he does not use the vile stuff even as a medicine. Not for two decades past have the farmers of the United States been in as good financial condition as at present, and yet the Windy Wonder is endeavoring to convince them that they are being robbed. Many of us would like to get robbed in a similar manner. If Candidate Bryan's visit to Seattle has not killed every opportunity of further "three tent Fusion" in this state, then we certainly miss our guess. Dissatisfaction and open opposition among Democrats and Pops are heard on all sides since the cyclone passed. Show going people of this city have no right for complaint of Seattle during the past week on that score—the Republican show, the Bryan show, the show the Fusions made of themselves and the bench show offered, it seems, excitement enough for the most fastidious. Congratulations are herewith extended to the citizens of Jefferson county this state, as their representatives in the late state Republican convention worked like Trojans to send a Coon to the National convention. Who said race prejudice was not rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Japan appears anxious to get in a mixup with Russia. Once on a time, the Transvaal hankered to get in a scrap with Great Britain, now that it is into it Oom Paul is doubly anxious to get out of it. We fear that Japan will experience a similar feeling before it has been in war with Russia very long. Webster Davis, who had such a time at Pretoria with Oom Paulism not long since, has resigned his position at Washington City and intends to enlighten the United States citizens on the Transvaal situation. We suspect Mr. Davis is troubled with the dreams of Webster's greatness. Col. Alden J. Times is reaping the fruits of his graft on the secretary of state's office by publishing the annual statements of the insurance companies doing business in this state, for which it charges $2 per inch per insertion when it takes all other kinds of advertisements at twenty cents per inch per insertion. If Admiral Dewey ever visits Rome to pay homage to the Pope then he will have killed off every prospect he may have had to be president of the United States. Somehow or other the American people have a perfect political abhorrence for any American who will kneel before any Catholic potentate, and even the name of Dewey can not break the charm. It is reported that Judge Miller of Clarke, Cowlitz, Skamania and Klickitat counties, will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for supreme judge this fall to succeed Judge Gordon who has declined to accept the office again. Judge Miller has held court in Chehalis a few times where he created a favorable impression, and should he secure the nomination he would add strength to the ticket in this part of the state — Chehalis Bee-Nuggett. Try a six months subscription to THE REPUBLICAN, only $1. Alaska has eighteen known mountain peaks which exceed 10,000 feet above sea level. They are as follows: Blackburn mountain, 12,500 feet; Black mountain, 12,500 feet; Cook mountain, 13,750 feet; Crillon mountain, 15,900 feet; Drum mountain, 13,300 feet; Fairweather mountain, 15,292 feet; Hayes mountain, 14,500 feet; Illamma peak, 12,066 feet; Kimball mountain 10,000 feet; La Perouse mountain, 10,740 feet; Lituya mountain, 11,852 feet; Mount McKinley, 20,464 feet; St. Elias mountain, 18,024 feet; Sanford mountain, 14,000 feet; Seattle mountain, 10,000 feet; Tillman mountain, 13,300; Vancouver mountain, 15,666 feet; Wrangel mountain, 17,500 feet. A Vancouver paper mentions N.B. Coffman, of this city, as a possible candidate on the Republican ticket for governor. It is whispered in Chehalis that C. W. Maynard would like to have a term in the state treasury. It therefore appears that Lewis county will not be without candidates before the Republican state convention this fall, and why should it? Lewis county is one of the largest counties in Western Washington, yet it has never, so far as our knowledge goes, had a state office. Henry Long was at one time a strong gubernatorial possibility, but he never got so far as to receive the nomination. It is probable that both Mr. Coffman and Mr. Maynard will be easily discouraged in their ambitions this year, but the time is not far distant when such will not be the case, especially with the former. N.B. Coffman is rapidly becoming a power in Republican state politics and his ambitions are keeping even pace with his influence. We venture to make the prediction that if he fails of success this year he will be the nominee of the Republican party either for governor or for congressman in 1904. If the political wheel of fortune is then favorable to the Republican party, Lewis county will for the first time be represented at the state capital or in the national halls of congress. If it must be a Republican the Advocate knows of no one better qualified to do honor to his county and promote the welfare of his state.—Chehalis Advocate. Hcn. S. G. Cosgrove, of this city, has been looking over the field, and, believing that' his candidacy might offer a common ground upon which the Republicans throughout the state could unite, has concluded to be a candidate for governor, before the Republican state convention next fall. He is so well known to the people in all parts of the state that no introduction is necessary. And it goes without saying that anything he might ask at the hands of his many influential friends will be given respectful consideration. His record as a public-spirited citizen, his ability as a lawyer, and his invaluable services as a campaign speaker, have demonstrated his peculiar fitness to make the race for the high position to which he aspires. He is widely known as a man of ability and much force of character, and is finely equipped by natural endowment, education and training to serve the people with distinction, and in the event of his nomination he could be relied upon to furnish the vital political force necessary to keep Republican principles to the front.—East Washingtonian. The experiment with fir in the manufacturing of cars seem to have been highly satisfactory, as it is now asserted by the Railroad and Engineering Journal that during the year 1900 a majority of the cars built for Western roads will be of material taken from the forests of Washington. "Snobomish is suffering from an overdose of fakes," so says the Tribune. That seems to be quite an epidemic all over the state at present, and no one but the business men are responsible for it. The bigger humbug a thing is in Seattle the more the suckers bite at it. When merchants patronize only legitimate institutions that are fixtures in their city then, and not until then, will fakes cease to flourish. W. Calvin Chase and Col. Perry Carson, both of whom aspire to be the "real thing" among the Negro vote in the District of Columbia, are struggling with each other for supremacy, and it looks as though they will sooner or later manage to kill each other off competely from a political stand point. Do you read THE REPUBLICAN? Then you see the merchants that advertise in its columns. When out shopping do not forget them. HAVE YOU BOUGHT ONE OF OUR CAPE NOME MINERS' CIAIMS?

This week has been prolific of many stirring political events in the state, which have brought together many of the voters of the Northwest and this immediate community. The county Republican convention of King lead in the procession of political events. It was expected to be a harmonious affair, but considerable feeling was worked up in it before it was over. While the agreement to send Messrs. Neufelder and Hughes to the National convention, so far as King was concerned, was carried out, yet in selecting the delegates considerable bad faith on the part of the Humes people appeared on the surface. It was understood that the two candidates should each select 31 delegates and the committee would select the other one, but the delegate slate was made up by the Humes people and Mr. Hughes given no say in the matter whatever, with but one or two exceptions. --- Following the Republican county convention was the Bryan demonstration in three speeches in Seattle. Thousands of persons flocked to see the man, who believed no more in what he said than had he been an escaped lunatic or a Shlatter, of divine healing fame, but having heard so much of him through the newspapers, they were curious to see and hear him. His speeches in Seattle proved to be nothing out of his ordinary routine of glittering generalities and high sounding epithets. A sumptious banquet at the Armory Hall ended his mission in this city, which can be truly said to have been a literary treat. Those persons speaking said many nice things that would look well in a scrap book for years and years to come, but would be ridiculous as laws of the land. They made statements too, that they will be ashamed of before another twelve months will have passed. While the Pie-maker was a participant at the banquet, he was not compelled to take the oath of party allegiance to enter therein, owing to the usual courtesies always extended to the "press." After listening with rapt attention to Mr. Bryan, the Pie-maker does not believe that William Jennings Bryan himself believes half he says and he also believes, that were there no prospects of him getting to the White House and no more prospects of him drawing down that $50,000 per year salary, for his services to the silver kings of this country, Mr. Bryan would not or could not talk one half so well as he does. The banquet, on the other hand, was a most pleasing as well as entertaining affair and those having charge of its arrangements are deserving of much credit. It certainly was the most elaborate affair of its kind that has ever been held in this city. --- The Tacoma election was the next point of political interest that has taken place this week. The Seattle mayoralty contest was a most bitterly fought one, but it paled into insignificance in comparison to the mayoralty contest in Tacoma. Abuse of the most malignant nature was injected into the contest by the friends of the two candidates during the entire campaign and the one side was equally as bitter as the other. The Fusion forces were groomed by the News, the evening paper of Tacoma, while the Republican forces were backed by the Ledger, the morning paper of Tacoma. So far as the two papers were concerned they seemed to have been fighting each other a good deal more than were they fighting the political issues. The Republicans won by a close vote of their ticket Mr. Campbell won by 117 votes but the Democrats won the treasury ship by the same number of votes. The city council is a bit divided, the Republicans electing five out of the eight. John M. Bell, one of the whitest men in Tacoma, and who has been twice elected to the city council, was beaten by a small vote, and that Tacoma will regret. --- If Tommy Bevan could realize how ridiculous he makes himself in the eyes of everybody, who attends the conventions, the Piemaker believes he would make himself less conspicuous on such occasions. Mr. Bevan may be a splendid ward worker, but he is a very poor statesman, or most people seem to think that way. ```markdown ``` Will Sam H. Piles kindly explain to the citizens of this city and community, who "his people's are? He uses the expression of what "I said to my people" with considerable emphasis on the last end, and the Pie-maker would not object to knowing to whom he refers in "my people." --- If E. Heister Guie is not nominated for some high political office some time in the near future, it will be no fault of his. He has been doing, it would appear, much political work to get into office here of late and his friends are pushing him with a vengeance. --- Attorney E. E. Cushman of Tacoma spent Monday in Seattle and rumor has it that Ed was looking after Brother Frank's political interest. If such be true, he was in Seattle on a good cause, for who would be expected to look after a brother's interest with more earnestness than a brother? ```markdown ``` Bert Taylor makes a splendid secretary of a convention, but the important air he assumes when in the performance of that duty, would impress one that he was the president's private secretary. Years ago friends of Mr. Taylor charged him with being troubled very much with the "swell head," but it was probably not so, they just did not understand him. --- There seems to be no probability of gambling opening again soon in Seattle. According to street report, the gamblers lost an important point, so far as they were concerned, by not letting well enough alone. --- Col. James Hamilton Lewis' crysanthiums never shown off to a better advantage than did they at the Bryan banquet. He made some happy hits and on the whole was quite a credit to Seattle. --- For logic, profound reasoning and lots of good hard horse sense Governor Rogers' toast, Our state, was the speech of the evening at the banquet. It bristled with points of rare interest to the state and was totally devoid of flowers and fancies. Bryan would have done better had he borrowed some of the governor's reasoning powers. --- The Republican state convention at Ellensburg to elect eight delegates to the National convention was the next order of the week. It assembled April 4th according to the call, but adjourned over until the 5th to give all an opportunity to be on hand. There was but little for it to do and after meeting and forming a permanent organization with E. H. Guie as chairman and J. Will Lyson as secretary, the committee on resolutions and other business were quickly named and had soon performed their duties and were ready to report. The following well known Republicans were selected as delegates to the National convention: Levi Ankeny of Walla Walla. Dr. L. M. Sims of Cowlitz. E. C. Neufolder of King. G. H. Baker, Klickitat. J. M. Ashton of Pierce. N. B. Coffman of Lewis. Herbert S. Connor of Skagit. Fred J. Hayfield of Whitman. The alternates are as follows: Dr. J. W. Bean, L. A. Kennedy; Adams; Chas. E. Coon; Jefferson; J. S. Miers, Ferry; S. G. Cogsgrover; Garfield; E. Baeumeister, Asotin; M. E. Hay; Lincoln; A. S. Lindsay, Chelan. It is also agreed that Senator George H. Baker is to be the national committeeman. --- Dewey's proclamation that he is a Democrat makes his presidential nomination and election all the more hopeless. --- Ex-Speaker E. H. Guie returns from the state convention and forthwith announces his candidacy for the governorship of this state. There will be others. ```markdown ``` Pennsylvania has endorsed Bryan for president and that too while Dewey was declaring himself a Democrat. --- it is not at all probable that Sam H. Piles will any longer tie to the Piper outfit. ```markdown ``` The State Press Association is to meet at Whatcom July 25th, 26th and 27th. --- It appears to the Pie-maker that the majority in the Republican state convention has invited party defeat at the polls. Mr. Ankeny seems to have about as much political sense as the famous Thompson's colt, that swam the river to get a drink from a brook on the opposite side. WANT BETTER HAIR? If so, your kind of hair can be found a much closer to the skin. 1313 Second Avege. Old Trinity church, New York city, has attained to distinction in two widely divergent matters: in the honor of its territory, in the wealth of its corporation. What is written below concerns its corporate wealth. As a matter of history, the original church was opened for worship in 1697. This early church was maintained by the income from the "church farm," a royal grant from Queen Anne. Out of this income the Rev. William Vesey, first rector of Trinity church, received a yearly salary of $5,100. Today that same "church farm" is valued at from $9,000,000 to $10,000,000, and its possession makes Trinity the wealthiest single church corporation in the United States. Out of its annual income of over $500,000 the Rev. Morgan Dix receives a salary of $25,000. This salary is more than double that of Bishop Potter of the diocess of New York, who receives but $12,000. This large income is exhausted by many claims; the expenses of the church proper, the support of the chapels, the large yearly grants of twenty-four parishes, the payment of taxes and assessments, and the maintenance of the parochial schools and other parish charities. The rental from the "church farm" properly constitutes the main source of Trinity's income. The property is scattered widely throughout the city. Much of it, however, lies in the near vicinity of the church. It is rented for various purposes—for public buildings, stores, and tenements. The year book of Trinity parish states that the parish "is systematically canvassed, and all cases where the ministrations of the church are needed are reported immediately to the rector." Among the considerable drains on the Trinity income are the expenses of the church proper and the support of the chapels. Twenty-five thousand dollars goes, as above stated, for the salary of the Rev. Mr. Dix. Assisting Mr. Dix in the work of the church and its chapels are eight vicars and sixteen curates, and they receive each one from $5,000 to $10,000. The sextons of the church and the several chapels receive $15,000, and each one is furnished with a deputy and an assistant. The music of the church costs much. The many choir boys receive, each one, from $24 to $100 yearly. The soloists, of which there are eighteen, receive from $200 to $400. For the church itself there is a yearly musical appropriation of $10,000; for each one of the seven chapels, $7,500; making a total of over $60,000. That the maintenance of excellent music in churches is right and admirable, is conceded. The church has ever held music to be a softening influence on the hearts of the sinful; solace to all the penitent. A good work is carried on by Trinity in the matter of its schools. For the maintenance of parochial schools, the vestry yearly appropriates the sum of $22,000; for the maintenance of night and industrial schools, $5,000. Trinity hospital for the sick poor is maintained by the corporation at a yearly expense of $9,000. The corporation also makes provision of $3,000 for the support of seven beds in other hospitals. From the corporation income a yearly contribution of alms to the poor of $6,000 is made. The whole yearly cost of the maintenance of charities within the parish, which are supported out of the corporation income, averages $50,000; for charities without the parish, $30,000—a total of $80,000—New York Verdict.

The following Afro-Americans were selected as alternates to the state convention: Dr. Samuel Burdett, W. P. Morris and D. W. Griffin, editor of the Bee. Rev. George H. Thomas, of Roslyn, was the only regularly elected delegate to the late state convention at Ellensburg from the Afro-American Washington family. Charlev Edmonds, well known hereabouts, was dangerously injured in the mines at Roslyn last Wednesday. It is said that he cannot survive. Among the delegates to the county convention from Franklin were to be found: Dr. J. J. Smith, Messrs. H. B. Jones, George W. Johnson, W. P. Morris and others. Dr. Smith was sent to the state convention as delegate and Mr. Morris his alternate. Mr. John T. Gayton, who has been head waiter at the Ranier club for the past six years or more, has been promoted to the stewardship of the club. He thoroughly understands every detail about the club and has the absolute respect and confidence of its entire membership. Slowly but surely, has he worked himself up from position to position until he now stands at its head, in which position he will prove an ideal man. Mr. Aus Anderson succeeds Mr. Gayton as head waiter and Mr. Will H. Taylor takes Anderson's place. North Coast Limited.

So many vague and misleading statements have recently been made in regard to the present physical condition and future plans of the eminent pianist, Paderewski, that an authentic statement will surely be welcomed by the many in this country who have listened to his delightful music and who have since then been disturbed at time by the many contradictory rumors in regard to him. Such a statement is now forthcoming from one of Paderewski's friends, who visited him a short time ago and who learned from him much that will be of general interest. Direction: S. H. FRIEDLANDER & CO. Paderewski THE WORLD'S GREATEST PIANIST STEINWAY & SON'S PIANO FORTE USED The attraction at the Third Avenue theatre during the past week, which will close Saturday night with the usual Saturday afternoon matinee, has proven the best of the season. "Coontown 400" is a very clever travesty and the artists presenting it are all good actors. Adgie and her lions and the Leander brothers make up a combination worth much higher prices than are being charged at the Third Avenue. Next week the attraction at the Third Avenue will be Edwin R. Lang's company in Queen's Evidence and Rip Van Winkle. A benefit will be given for the aid of the female auxiliary of the Woodmen of the World next Wednesday evening.
