The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society Jaconna VOL. VI NO. 52 ODDS AND ENDS Which One Meets as He Passes Down the Stream of Life—Bits of Rare News Carefully Compiled Statistics—Scientific Experiments and Commercial Openings for American Industry—Mineral Output and Arts of Invention—All Gathered From the Most Reliable Sources. In 1894 the plague destroyed 80,000 of the 1,000,000 inhabitants of Canton. The number of Mormon missionaries in the field is said to be 1,700. The annual consumption of meat in England is seventy pounds per head, 16 per cent of which is imported. The cemeteries around London cover 2,000 acres and the land they occupy represents a capital of £20,000,000. Muffs were first used by doctors to keep their fingers soft, and were adopted by ladies about 1550. Senator Jones of Nevada is a strong believer in a diet which limits his breakfast to one cup of black coffee and one cinnamon bun. London is twelve miles broad one way and seventeen the other, and every year sees about twenty miles of new streets added to it. Governor Roosevelt of New York detests jewelry of all kinds, and never wears any except a plain gold seal ring on which are engraved his family arms. The South African war has deprived many English hospitals of the services of male doctors, and the women medicos are now reaping their reward. "Gnat fever" is the new scientific name for malaria, since it has been shown that it is through mosquitoes that the disease is conveyed to human beings. The South Carolina Dispensary directors have reconsidered their vote to abolish the beer dispensaries, but will limit them to two each for Columbia and Charleston, and one each for eleven other towns. The Rev. T. H. James, who has been preaching in Oakley, Kan., on a $500 salary, recently inherited a fortune from England, and intends to use $500,000 of it to endow a college and hospital in Oklahoma. Statistics have been published to show that brain workers are long-lived. Five hundred and thirty eminent men and women of the present century were taken, and their duration of life gives an average of 68 years and 8 months. William Rockefeller's new and rare orchid, which is valued at $1,000, is a cross between a lindelyanum and a candatum. There are only seven plants of this variety in existence. It took Mr. Rockefeller's gardener five years to get the orchid to flower properly. Corks that have been steeped in vaseline are said to be an excellent substitute for glass stoppers without their disadvantages. They are not affected by acids or chemical fumes, and they do not become fixed by a blow or by long disuse. The hard working laborers and coolies seen everywhere in Japan wear only a narrow loin scarf and straw sandals. In cold and rainy weather they wear a mackintosh of loose straw over their shoulders and a mammoth rude hat. By the last census there were 20,612,806 communicants in all the churches of the United States. Of these, 6,257,871 were Catholics, 4,589,284 Methodists, 3,712,468 Baptists, 1,278,332 Presbyterians, 1,231,072 Lutherans, and 540,509 Episcopalians. The death of John Earhart at Bartlesville recalls the fact that a few years ago, and when at the age of 77, he walked all the way from Kansas to Oregon and back again. The distance was 4,000 miles, but the old man made it in one season without riding a mile. There were 2,431 train accidents in the United States in 1899, against 2,228 in 1898. The killed numbered 689 and the injured 2,061. This exceeds the total killed and wounded in the Philippines during the eighteen months ended Dec. 31, 1899—the excess in killed being 24 per cent, and in wounded 11 per cent. It is understood that Andrew Carnegie contemplates creating an annual prize to be awarded by the Society of American Artists for the best oil painting by a resident American artist. There is to be no limitation as to sex, age, or subject, except that portraits will be excluded. The amount of the prize will probably be $500. Bishop Potter recently witnessed a theatrical performance in New York, and, according to his own statement, it was the first time he had attended a New York theater. He explained that he had no objection to theatre-going, and had merely refrained from it himself because he thought that it was wiser on his part. He has at various times in his life had various actors as intimate friends. The board of works for the district of St. Giles, London, instead of using sand and fine gravel to sprinkle asphalt pavements when they are wet and slippery for horses, all of which are smooth-shod in London, as in Paris, scatters small seashells, which are kept in bins here and there along the curbstones. These seem to be an excellent substitute for gravel. Robert Merrill, known as "Steeple Bob," climbed the steepele of old Trinity to repair it. It was the first time in sixteen years that the steepele had been scaled. The fearless man used ropes and a bosun's chair for the first 200 feet of the ascent. Thence he ascended by means of the projections that stud the steepele. The steepele rises to a height of 300 feet. It is 280 feet to the base of the cross.—New York Letter. The bureau of labor statistics of Indiana in its latest bulletin gives returns of the total membership of labor organizations in that state, in addition to other valuable information concerning the wage-workers. Reports show 24,424 as belonging to unions, an increase for the year of 2,688. The average earnings from 408 unions show $577.72 per year, or $1.86 per day. The annual receipts from members were $155,274, with disbursements of $126,224. Sick benefits absorbed $13,283, and $86,506 was paid for death claims. The report shows a tendency on the part of labor bodies to shorten the hours, as well as a general increase in the average rate of pay. A study of the iron industry is interesting, as showing the country's development. More than 700 institutions are engaged in producing the ore, employing 40,000 persons. Over 18,000,000 tons are raised yearly, valued at $33,000,000 when it reaches the furnace door. Last year more than $13,000,000 tons of iron and steel were produced in the United States, and since production is the best test of activity, the ironworker points to this as an object lesson of prosperous conditions. Twenty years ago the country's total was 4,000,000 tons. With the same favorable conditions prevailing, it is expected the present year will record a production of 16,000,000 tons. A Western Congressman recently received the following note from one of his rural constituents to whom he had sent a consignment of garden seed: "Kind sir and esteemed friend, I have the seeds. They came this morning and suit very well, specially the cabbage seed which grows well in this soil. please send me 2 loads of fertiliser and a new harrer and if you could send me a man for a couple of days I would be obliged. With this help I know the garden stuff will turn out al rite and I will send some to you and the President. Your grateful well wisher and Supporter."—New York Tribune. It is high time that American coal owners took advantage of the SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY25, 1900. famine prices in this country; American coal is finding a good market in Germany, but the English prices are still higher. There is a good profit on American coal in London, for instance at the prevailing domestic rate of thirty shillings for a ton of 2,250 pounds. It is affirmed that prices are going higher instead of there being the usual summer decline and the effect is already manifest in manifold ways. The railways have made a decided advance in excursion fares and even laundry prices have been raised. It is announced that there will be a further advance of five shillings in the price of locomotive coal as soon as existing contracts expire. This rise will mean an increase of $2,000,000 in the annual coal bill of the Northwestern railway alone. Prices for nearly everything are higher in London than a year ago. The war is the vague explanation, but in most cases has nothing to do with the matter. Local and Personal. Mr. J. C. Payne, of California, is filling a two week's engagement at the Fredericksburg. His vocal abilities are highly spoken of. —Portland Age. Mr. John F. Cragwell left for Nome on the Ohio. He expects to return to Seattle in about a month's time. Mr. Cragwell recently returned from San Francisco where he met a good many old Seattle people. "I saw A. A. Garner while there and I am glad to say he is doing exceedingly well. I also saw Mrs. Braxton, who is looking very well as are Mr. and Mrs. Powell, I was delighted with San Francisco," said he last Monday just prior to sailing for Nome. Mr. William Rideout was among the last Sunday passengers who sailed for Nome. It is estimated that over 1200 persons left Seattle last Sunday for the North and equally as many more will leave before the first of June. Mr. James Green, the well known depot barber, has sailed for the frozen North, and wants it distinctly understood that he is going North to dig gold and not scrape faces. He leased his shop to Mr. Henderson that he would have something to fall back on should he not hit it rich while in the North. Mrs. William Grose has rented out her home and will take rooms down town during the absence of her son George at Nome. Perhaps, if Mr. Grose finds things prosperous at Nome, she will go North before the winter shuts in. Mr. R. L. Dixon and children, who have been a part of the Grose household for so long, will live with his brother. Sickness at this office caused the delay of the paper this week. Mrs. Con A. Rideout has returned from South Africa. Her health was quite poor while there, so much so that, she thought it meant her death to remain longer. Mr. Rideout is still in the interior on business and Miss Pearl is teaching near Cape Town. Mrs. Rideout may try her hand at Cape Nome. Mrs. F. F. Keeble and daughter, Miss Ethel Butler, were among the last Sunday visitors to the Queen City. She returned the same evening. Company B, Twenty-fifth infantry, U. S. A., which has been for the past few months stationed at Vancouver, Wash., left last Wednesday evening for Fort Wright, Wash. Their stay there gave the citizens of Vancouver an opportunity to see more Afro-Americans than many of them had ever seen, and whilst on the whole, they were well received, we have heard of one or two instances where low-bred people took an opportunity to exhibit the prejudice existing in their groveling nature. During their stay there they have made many friends and we hear there are some disconsolate sweethearts left behind for the present.—Portland Age. SENATOR Is Discussed In Connection With the Gubernatorial Nomination—Pronounced a Most Excellent Man and One That Will Make Votes for his Party—His Opponents in King County Will Stand No Show of Carrying the County Against His Aspirations—He Is the Right Man. The announcement that Hon. J. M. Frink would aspire to the gubernatorial nomination has caused much state comment among the country newspapers. Below will be found a few extracts from some of the leading papers of the state anent the Frink boom. White River in Line. The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN announces that Hon. J. M. Frink is a candidate for governor, subject of course, to the ratification of the regular Republican state convention. If Mr. Frink should be nominated he will make an excellent governor. No man in the state ranks higher for personal character or for business sagacity. He has had a varied career although very much in line with that of a majority of Americans who have attained distinction. He was born in Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, 1845, and after living in Madison county, New York, where he attended school, he went with his father to Brown county, Kansas, where he spent twelve years. He worked on a farm in summer and taught school in winter. He attended Washburn College and was at one time a member of the school board of Topeka. He came to Seattle in 1879, teaching school for two years and the same length of time at Port Gamble. In 1881 he went into the iron works of Tenny & Frink and has been manager ever since, although 1884 it has been the Washington Iron Works. He has built up a wonderfully successful business and is as highly esteemed by every man who had ever worked for him as by every man who has had any kind of dealing with him. He was a member of the school board for five years and a member of the city council for two years, but is best known throughout the state as Senator Frink who served in the second senate.—White River Journal. Is it Really True? It is announced in Seattle with a confidence that is almost convincing that Hon. J. M. Frink has consented to allow his name to go before the Republican state convention as a candidate for governor. Considering the fact that Mr. Frink has always been and is now a very active business man, one who is in love with his business, it is hard to believe that he would even after years of a successful career quit the pursuits which have been dear to his heart to take up the affairs of state. But if it is true, the Republican party of Washington is to be congratulated, for Mr. Frink is a clean man; he is an able man; his business achievements and his services in the state legislature amply prove that. More, he will have a strong following of laboring men; men who recognize him as a just employer—one who during the hard times gave to his men far more wages and work than his business justified. It is by the selection of such men that a party makes itself invincible. By the elevation of such a man the party gains friends and adherents from the ranks of those whose eyes and ears are closed to the clap-trap of self-seeking politicians. The News does not pretend to predict how the free and enlightened citizens of Ballard will vote for governor, but it ventures the guess that the man who will obtain their support over J. M. Frink's head will have to be a mighty good man.—Ballard News. Northwest Says Amen. Republicans throughout the state have looked on with surprise while King county has been virtually erased from the political map of Washington, and the people of the great Northwestern section of the state have felt almost bereft of official representation since Seattle is the only political and commercial center with which they are in touch. For this reason King county's plans for the coming campaign are of general interest, and we believe the suggestions made by Hon. Edward P. Tremper in a recent communication to the Post Intelligence will be well taken. He believes that, in deference to an unwritten law giving our congressman at least two terms, Messrs. Cushman and Jones should be re-nominated, and that King county should ask for the office of governor. Some consideration is certainly due our present congressmen for the splendid canvass they made in 1898 and for their faithful services at the national capitol, and if King county tries to nominate a candidate for representative she is sure to have the usual fight on her hands. To present a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination would certainly be more diplomatic, and if a good man is put forward there would be no just reason for opposing his nomination. King county has such a candidate in the person of Hon. J. M. Frink, who for eight years has represented his county in the state senate. To put forward a tried public servant with a record such as senator Frink's, would strengthen King county's claims in the convention, as no other section could produce a more acceptable candidate.—Arlington Times. Must Fight It Out. If the King county Republican club is authorized to speak for the Republican party of King county, notice is officially served upon the Republicans of the rest of the state that congressional ambitions have been put aside and that King county at the state convention will ask only for the privilege of naming the candidate for governor. The congressional ambitions were not abandoned without some heart burnings, but the handwriting on the wall was not to be mistaken, and it was decided to be impolitic to try to stem the tide that has already set in favor for the renomination of Representative Cushman and Jones. If King county is modest enough to only ask for governor, there will be a strong disposition to grant her request, provided Hon. J. O'B. Scooby and the famous and feared Southwestern combination has not already foreclosed a mortgage of earlier record. The difficulty with King county will be to decide upon the candidate to be presented. Speaker Guie, J. M. Frink and Mayor Humes, all of Seattle, have already formally announced their candidacy. Mr. Guie is not a quitter except in a senatorial caucus, and Mayor Humes has held office for so many years it will be difficult to convince him that he is not pre-ordained to perpetually pass from one soft snap to another. If there is any hope of winning out, King county must decide between the three before she comes into the convention, and must present a united front. There is no disposition in other parts of the state to insert already blistered fingers into the Seattle fire. A report of the proceedings of the club meeting at which the decision to try for governor was reached, would indicate that the prime favorite of the club, which numbers 685 numbers, is Hon. J. M. Frink. Every mention of his name was cheered, although it was distinctly understood that under its constitution and by-laws the club could indorse no candidate for office at this time. It is up to King county now to make a choice between her three candidates. The rest of the state will look on in a wholly disinterested manner, for it really makes little difference whether there is a final uniting or not. It is by no means absolutely essential either to success or party harmony that King county should at this time have the governorship or any other office.—Tacoma News. The Dramatic concert at the A. M. E. church last Tuesday evening was a very pleasant affair and the parts were well rendered. Quite a number of persons were present. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS PROGRESSIVE RACE. Pronounces Register Lyons of the American Negro—Many Millions Engaged in Gainful Persuits While but a Few Thousand are to be Found in the Various Professions—More Than Half of Them Can now Read and Write—They are Largely Cotton Planters at Which They are a Great Success. (Evening Star, May 10.) In the course of his address yesterday Mr. Judson Lyon, register of the treasury, said 3,039,170 of the colored people are engaged in gainful pursuits, and only 33,994 are in the professions. The professional class includes 12,159 clergymen and 15,008 teachers, leaving just a little over 6,000 following other callings listed as professions. In the matter of education he showed that the colored people had made marvelous progress to which there is no parallel in the annuals of time. He asserted that when Governor Merriam foots up his returns this year it will be discovered that 58 per cent of the colored people can read and write, whereas thirty-five years ago not three per cent could do so. He said that colored men seek education on all lines because it is the American custom, and not to do it would argue one not a good American. He well knew, he said, that the lot of nine-tenths of the people would be labor that produces sweat of the brow. He said if more colored men are convicted of crime in proportion than others it must be remembered that, being the proscribed race, it is just possible—indeed probable—that the same equal and exact justice may not be deliberately measured out to them as to others. It is unfortunate for the colored man in the North, he argued, that he can not readily and easily connect himself with the labor organizations. This being true, perhaps, in proportion, more of them are out of employment than would otherwise be, and as there are laws against vagrancy they may be convicted for not working when they can't get work, and so for this offense the statistics of crime would be swelled against them. One of the chief difficulties in the South, he said, is due to the uncertainty of the law in some places. Wherever you find a county with an established reputation for law and order and the strict enforcement of contracts you will find that the colored people remain on the farms, old and young, and the landlord finds his possessions appreciating yearly and the income therefrom increasing under a tenantry that does not change every Christmas, but is stationary, prosperous and contented. "The prosperity of last year," said Mr. Lyon, "has been a great thing in many ways. Its blessings have not all fallen into the coffers of the much-abused trusts and giant corporations. The sun of plenty and comfort has shown in many a home heretofore darkened by the gloom of mortgages and a lack of sufficient returns from arduous toil to make life happy. "A reference to the production of the staple in which our people exercise almost a monopoly will not be uninteresting in this connection. It is popularly supposed that the colored people plant, cultivate and harvest 85 per cent of the cotton crop. Supposing, therefore, the crop for last year to have been 10,000,000 bales, their share would be 8,500,000 bales, and then at 500 pounds per bale, we would have 4,250,000,000 pounds, and this sold at an average of 8 cents we would have the colossal sum of $340,000,000. "This same cotton at an average of 5 cents per pound a year or so ago sold for $212,500,000, thus making a difference in favor of the farmer of $127,500,000. Segregating this amount among the 10,000,000 of colored citizens, we have $12.75 for every man, woman and child over and above their realizations for the last previous few years."

Ladysmith now speaks English as usual. The Englisd are being Bored for peace at this writing. If Dick Warner had half as much pride as he has wind, he would—well, he would know when he was sat upon.—Ex. It really does seem to us that Tommy Church and his Review deal too extensively in glittering generalities when it comes to factional Democratic politics. A small vituperative sheet published at Blaine still continues to have the anti-Wilson nightmare, though it has frequently announced John L. Wilson deader than a door nail. Idiots are constitutionally prevented from voting in this state. Juding from the recent Democratic conventions this law has been frequently broken in the past, and we suggest that in the future it be strictly adhered to. The Republicans of King county have three candidates for governor, Humes, Guie and Frink. In the mix-up that is sure to follow Ankeny's stalking horse Humes stands a good chance to be shut out of the race.—Walla Walla Argus. No, Mr. Tacoma News-Herald Aviduopus Populist Tugwell will not bolt even if John R Rogers is re-nominated for governor. Tug is from Texas where "yaller dorgs" are supported if the dorg is only a Democratic one. No, no, he will never bolt. Confusion will doubtless reign supreme at Nome when the World and his, family arrives there, but we are repeatedly told that there is gold enough for all who go, and gold is a splendid pacifier for restless humanity's nerves. Uncle Sam drove a pretty cloven bargain when he bought Alaska for $7,290,000, for that frozen land gave up a half a billion dollars in gold and silver last year, and is expected to give up twice that much during the coming gold season. We learn from the Issaquah Independent that it proposes to be short on the graft game, but a little weed and a bitter seed on the gaff game, when it comes to political enemies. Well, a good grafter frequently develops into a regular rag time gaffer. Some of the state papers are inclined to treat Bryan's allegation that, "I am going to be elected president next fall" as the stale chestnut he has preserved over from the four years ago campaign. Mr. Bryan seems greatly in love with the political mysterious. "Fusion was a failure," soliloquises the Pullman Herald, and permit us to add, likewise a fizzling fungus the odor from which has sickened a great many Jeffersonian Democrats. It was a failure, it is a failure, and, it will be a failure forever more world without end. Within the past seven days not less than 2000 persons have left Seattle for Nome, and yet the streets are crowded by day and by night as though not a single person out of the ordinary had left the city. What better evidence do you want that Seattle is the Hub of the Northweat? Our Fusion contemporary the Mt. Vernon Argus thinks that Seattle has so many Democrats that one hall would not hold them all. Well, neighbor, it was not so much the incapacity of the hall to hold them as it was the torridness of the hall in which the herd had been corralled. We agree with the Whatcom Reveille that Seattle is getting to be a pretty bad town when a Whatcom man is buncoed in it. The bunco man must have first given the Whatcom man the money and then buncoed him out of it for practice, for we feel quite safe in saying that the Whatcom man brought nothing to Seattle from Whatcom that a bunco man would have. An Oklahoma girl who advertised for a husband got him. The total expense for advertising and wedding outfit amounted to $11, and within a year her husband died leaving life insurance policy of $3,000. And still some people claim it don't pay to advertise. Ex. It is to be regretted that the United States Supreme Court has handed Kentucky back to the blood-thirsty murderous Democratic party from which it had been snatched by the Republicans, despite the nefarious election laws passed by the Democrats to fetter Democracy about Kentucky for another hundred years to come. Brother Patterson of the Cosmopolis Enterprise has plenty of advertising space for sale to all kind of partisans, he, announces, but his editorial columns are unpurchasable by any kind of a partisan. That, he unequivically reserves for his own politics, and that is rock ribbed Republicanism. Good for Pat. "Syndicate editorials" continue to hold high hand among some of the brethren. Were we going to buy our brains we would much prefer to buy some that were not being used by the entire gang. Brighten up your wits, fellows, and fire that stuff in the stove and give us good crisp Evergreen State thoughts. You can do it if you will only brace up and think you can. Spokane is classed as the second city in the state by the Adams county News, a recent census showing it quite ahead of Tacoma. There is no denying the fact that there is more truth than poetry in the allegation. Seattle and Spokane are natural political allies and it showed very poor business tact on the part of Seattle's representatives to cause a spirit of animosity rather than friendliness to come between them. The Southern Democracy disfranchises the Negro, runs jim crow cars on the railroads, taxes them without giving them representation, lynches those whom it chooses to accuse, without the formality of a trial, and yet holds up its hands in holy horror because they fear the Republicans are going to "oppress" the natives of Porto Rieo.—Ellensburg Capital. The Pie-maker in the SEATTLE REPUBLICAN charges that Levi Ankeny contributed $8000 to the Humes campaign fund in the recent city election in Seattle. As the REPUBLICAN supported Humes for election, after opposing his nomination, it may be in a position to know what it is talking about, but still we have our doubts. -Mt. Vernon Argus. Are you measuring our corn by your half a bushel measure? Editor Mays of the Pomeroy Independent does not hesitate to pronounce the man that predicts McKinley will carry the state of Washington as a "nameless liar." The state went Republican two years ago against "fusion"; Democracy is now hopelessly divided, as will be seen from last Saturdays state convention. Now in the face of all this, Bro. Mays who appears to be the liar, the man that has alleged or the man that is denying? When one has finished reading the Vancouver-Register - Democrat he must be thoroughly convinced in himself that all Republicans are either corporation thieves or political tools of such criminals, while all Democrats, Pops and Fusionists are simply angels without wings. He, who can always see faults in his neighbor, but perfectness in himself, is like unto the man that could see the pigeon on the barn but could never get a glimpse of the barn. King county does not desire to beat Frank W. Cushman out of a renomination for congress and the Hoquimon Washingtonian prevaricates when it says she does. King county wants the governor and it proposes to have it. She has three candidates for the position, but that is her own affair, you can rest assured that she will present but one candidate to the next state convention for its consideration. Be sure you are right and then fire away, Mr. Editor. George Washington, the father of the United States, and its first president, according to the Colfax Commoner was at the time of his election to the presidency, the richest man in the country, even at that day being a millionaire. If that be true, and who would doubt it since it comes from a Democrat, how our country has departed from its original customs, since no president during the last of the nineteenth century was worth but little more than the salary he drew for holding the office, such is certainly true of the present chief executive, William McKinley. We are told by the News that the City of Ballard has grown in a comparatively short time from 3000 to 7000. That the citizens are beginning to take a real live interest in their thriving municipality and Ballard is no longer over awed at its close proximity to Seattle. We congratulate Ballard in its rapid strides, and especially do we congratulate it for showing its further good sense by building principally toward Seattle, as it will be but a few years more when both will be jammed into one. Grow on, sister, grow on. It occurs to us that the Olympia Capital's syndicate politician tried to be a bit satirical when he wrote, "some trade follows the Flag, as all the coffin manufactures report heavy orders from the Philippines." Our Demo-Pop journalist should not loose sight of the fact that during Democracy's reign in this country coffin manufactures went to the wall as badly as any other kind of industries, simply because times were too hard for people to die. People know they can get a swell burial now, hence they die without regrets. It makes a whole lot of difference, old man, with the average American citizens when the smoke stacks are in operation and the wheels of industry are moving, as to dying just the same as to living. Hon. William H. White has been appointed to fill the vacancy on the Supreme bench of this state by Governor Rogers. This is the goal of Mr. White's legal ambition, the United States senate, being the goal of political ambition. He will begin the duties of the office June 1st next. In accepting the position, which he has so long sought, Mr. White severs a law partnership between himself and Mr. Munday, which has covered a period of nineteen years duration and has perhaps done as much business as any other firm in the city, Second Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Walter S. Fulton has tendered his resignation to his chief, James McElroy, to take effect June 1st next. Mr. Fulton was prompted to take this step owing to the fact that his uncle was retiring from the law firm of White & Munday. and he being a junior partner in the firm would be needed in the office to carry on the business.

The Pie-maker fancies that the death of the late Alfred T. Ambrose will cause much individual mourning in this city, as there were quite a few persons here that were depending on the efforts of Mr. Ambrose to pull them out of a close place and put them on the high road to success. Even among those persons whom Mr. Ambrose were wont to measure arms in political combats many words of praise and commendation were heard by the Pie-maker, of the man. "He and I were always on different political sides, factually speaking, but, I know of no man, for whom I had greater regard than A. T. Ambrose," came from Postmaster Stewart. "Mr. Ambrose and I had never agreed with each other in the many political harangues that we were wont to meet at, but he was a man and a brother when the political meeting adjourned," came from a Fifth ward politician. And as in these two instances so also could it be heard where ever you went the day after his death had been chronicled. It seems almost cruel to snatch a young man so vigorous and active as was Mr. Ambrose away from his works of usefulness so early in life, but it was He who gave him that took him and no mortal man should dare complain, for He doeth all things for the best. If for the most part Ambrose was on the loosing side still he was active and energetic and never sulked in his tent when his party made a nomination. Ambrose never did things by halves, whether it was of a political or a good time nature. Returning to those who would have just cause to mourn the death of Mr. Ambrose, none will do so more than his partner H. A. Chadwick, with whom he has been associated in the conduct of the Argus, a weekly paper, as well as other lucrative advertising business. There is no denying the fact that he was the financial soul of every advertising venture the firm went into. Whatever money the paper got from a political stand point, it came through the individual efforts of Ambrose. Whatever money the concern accumulated from advertising, it came through the individual and personal work of Ambrose. Being a great secret society leader and worker it was but natural that the members of the organization of which he was a member would give him all the patronage that they possibly could do and even more in some instances. Mr. Chadwick may find another to partly fill his place, but it is not generally believed by those who have watched the work of the late junior partner of the Argus, that he will do so at a very early date. There are others who will find that they have lost a strong right hand bower in the death of Ambrose and, among them, might be named Sheriff Van De Vanter, Billy Potts, Richie Kninnear and others. Mr. Ambrose was an uncompromising supporter for the re-election of Sheriff Van De Vanter and he was not leaving a stoneurnted to accomplish that end. The Sheriff has most assuredly lost one of his ablest lieutenants. 一 Billy Potts, who aspires to the county clerkship, always found Ambrose ready and willing to make political deals for him and smooth the troubled waters where it was inclined to be stormy and troublesome. He and Ambrose have worked together in the Fifth ward for the past eight years and they always succeeded in getting a delegation from their precinct that suited their own liking. The death of Ambrose leaves Potts in bad shape politically, and, unless he can find some man to fill his place, he will see many of his fondest hopes vanish into air castles. Richie Kinnear, who sat at his bedside night in and night out, and watched his life slowly but surely ebb away, has also lost a warm personal friend and admirer. Ambrose was determined, at some future time, to push Richie Kinnear to the front politically and there is no doubt but that Dick depended largely on him to do the work. His death, therefore, was a sad blow to Kinnear's political ambitions to say nothing of his personal feelings. There are others who are equally disappointed at the seemingly untimely death of the young man, all of whom, as said above, mourn his demise almost without comfort. The Pie-maker in times past has persistently fought the politi- H. L. WILHELM. Whose recent literary feats are causing so much favorable comment at present. Not satisfied with the honors for his clever compilations of the Will B. Moore Letters, he is now writing a practical story about Seattle and her enterprising citizens. Mr. Wilhelm is highly educated and is showing a decided turn for literary pursuits instead of law, which profession he has followed since settling in Seattle. He is said to come from a family of fine literary attainments. cal efforts of Mr. Ambrose, but since politics make strange bedfellows, it began to look as though he and Mr. Ambrose would, for once, be together in the coming political issue, therefore, he too has reasons to regret the death of the gentleman, though those reasons may appear selfish. be accomplished without bitter or position. As said by the Pid maker last week it means the James Hamilton Lewis is in the saddle in the state at present, and that he will either be nominate for governor or dictate the ma that is nominated. The Godwin Hart contest has been wildly dis No class of men in the community will have more reasons to regret the death of a brother than the Fraternal Order of Eagles in the death of A. T. Ambrose, one of the few charter members of the organization. He has been conspicuous in their ranks ever since it has been in existence, not only as a worker, but as an officer and an organizer as well. The second annual conclave of that order is being held in Vancouver at this time and the many regrets for the death of so distinguished a brother has been repeatedly heard. Rev. Llwyd's funeral oration over Mr. Ambrose at the First Methodist Episcopal church last Saturday afternoon in the presence of the K. of P., the Eagles and the many friends of the deceased, was a very impressive one and many there were present that dropped a tear of regret that a young life had been so suddenly blown out by Him who doeth all things well, and added, it was He that gave it and it was He that had taken it, and, so promote it be. Hon. Edward B. Palmer and wife mourn the death of their little son, who so recently came to make their home doubly happy. For the first born of a new home to be taken but a few days after it has come, especially when such high hopes has been planned upon by the fond parents for the young one, is a sorrow that no one, save those parents who have gone through with such an ordeal, can fully realize and understand. Though with them but a few days its memory will linger about and cling to them for months, years and years, even until, old age. To them it will always seem that there is one missing link. "Those whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth," and in the cup of the bitterest and most intent sorrow there is always a drop of sweetness at the bottom. The Pie-maker is unable to say where D. K. Larimer is getting the political stuff he is turning into the Times, but it begins to look as though he was drawing heavily on his vivid imaginations for it. One line of truth and a whole column of untruth seems to be about the proportion of the political significance the articles bear. Political Editor Larimer sees that his own party is split all to smithereens and he is working with might and main to have the Republicans get in a similar fix, but he will not succeed and you can bet your last dollar on that, Dave. Ex-Governor John H. McGraw will soon sail for Nome. He will be badly missed among the politicians. "I am for Frink for governor," said he one day this week. Lee Hart's star has set and J. W. Godwin's has risen. This was the work of the Democratic state convention last Saturday at Spokane. It was a crushing defeat to Lee Hart and his followers and one that they did not expect for a single minute until it came. Governor Rogers shared in Hart's defeat in this instance, for it clearly shows that the ambitions of the governor to succeed himself as governor of this state will not ```markdown ``` --- --- be accomplished without bitter opposition. As said by the Piemaker last week it means that James Hamilton Lewis is in the saddle in the state at present, and that he will either be nominated for governor or dictate the man that is nominated. The Godwin-Hart contest has been widely discussed among the leading Republicans, and many of them took active parts on one side or the other. In the opinion of the Piemaker, owing to the part Hart has taken in the political affairs of this city in the past, not much sympathy is felt for him in his defeat at Spokane by his Democratic friends. It is true that quite a few of the leading Democrats of Seattle were associated with Mr. Hart in his efforts to down Godwin, on the grounds that the latter had surrounded himself with a number of Single taxers, but, on the whole, public sympathy was with Godwin over Hart and it was delighted at the results of the Spokane convention. There is no doubt in the Piemaker's mind but that many Republican took an active part in the Godwin-Hart primaries, which accounts for the latter making as hard a fight as he did. The fine Italian hands of George Piper and Dr. Samuel Burdett and others were plain to be seen at the Democratic primaries, and this was done with the direct understanding that Hart was to help Piper next fall in the Republican primaries. Unless the Piper-Ankency combination manages to take King county to the next Republican state convention, Ankency will be undone politically and George Piper will have no banker to bleed. Republicans may expect to meet at the polls next fall when the gubernatorial scrap is on the thickest and hottest, well known Democratic politicians who will be working for the Piper-Humes combination for governor. These are queer political turns, but it will be remembered that we are taught that, "politics make strange bed-fellows." All political factions in King county are practically now of one opinion, that it is the duty of King county Republicans to go to the next state convention asking for a governor instead of a congressman. They realize that it would be next to impossible to get the latter and almost a certainty of getting the former. Last Saturday evening the King County Republican club decided that its members would make a fight to secure the governorship from this county and it did so with a vengeance. The efforts of the McKinley club have from its very inception been directed along the same channel and the same is true of the Young Men's Republican club. Each of these clubs in a way have their candidates and will endeavor to have the Republican voters see as they do, as to their respective candidates, to the extent as to have the next Republican county convention endorse their favorite for the governorship. The members of the King County Republican Club, it is very apparent, will endeavor to secure such an endorsement for Hon. J. M. Frink, the McKinley Club will work for the endorsement of Mayor Tom Humes while the Young Men's Republican Club will seek the endorsement of the county for Hon E. H. Guie. A battle royal in the primary primaries next fall promises to be the result of this three cornered fight. As said in last week's issue the fight may become so intense that a compromise candidate will o o o o o o have to be selected, and in that case the friends of Judge McGilvra hope to get in their work and have the county convention endorse their favorite. It is said that Mr. Guie had this very thing much in view, and when he learned through the columns of THE REPUBLICAN that Judge McGilvra might steal his thunder in that particular, he met the Judge one day this week, and to show his disapproval of such a course on the part of Judge McGilvra, gave him the marble heart instead of greeting in the same warm and cordial manner as he had been wont to do. Dr. T. M. Young may also take a hand in the gubernatorial fight before it is ended, now that his son has returned from Europe to render him valuable assistance. --- Seattle has lost quite a few well known politicians in the Nome excitement, who doubtless would have played very conspicuous parts in the coming Republican primary contest in this city and county. Last Sunday saw the Fifth ward loose two active politicians in the persons of H. C. Gordon and John B. Wright. These gentlemen always fought in different factions and were ever in evidence at primaries, both of them have sailed for Nome and will hardly be back in time to take a part in the primary fight. The Seventh ward lost a very active Republican worker in the person of Attorney James Kiefer He was a warm friend of Mr. Frink and would have made things hum in his section of the city toward securing a Frink delegation had he remained in the city. Mr. Kiefer has never been elected to any office though he has always been a strong political factor in the affairs of the Seventh ward. --- A heavy loss will be sustained by Mr. Frink in the sailing of ex-governor John H. McGraw. Many of the leading Republicans regret very much to loose the wise council of the ex-governor in the coming political bout, and so convinced were the Pipers that Governor McGraw would swing the greater part of the Fourth ward that George U. Piper left the fourth precinct and moved to the second precinct, where he hopes to be more certain of getting a seat in the next county Republican convention. The First ward has also lost quite a few "tenderloin" politicians in the persons of Consodine and Billie Belonde and others, who left on the Skookum to open up a resort in Nome. The Third ward will loose two very active workers in the persons of Hiram C. Gill and George H. Grose. The latter is one of the heavy property holders of the Third, and was always to be found in the conventions which named Republican tickets. The Third is always solid, but the activity of both of those gentlemen will be greatly missed by their associates. COO While belonging to no paicular ward of this city at present, yet equally as conspicuous as any politician that has gone North, was A. G. McBride, who is to be United States commissioner at Cape York. He sailed last Wednesday and remarked to the Piemaker a few hours before going aboard that, "I am quite certain that I have at last struck a good thing. I have no idea when I will be in Seattle again, but you can rest assured that it will not be until I can return in good fix" No man in the city stood higher than Mr. McBride and his many friends will be pleased to hear that he is so hopeful of having something good in hands grasp. --- The King County Republican Club has decided to ratify the re-nomination of President McKinley with a sumptious banquet. Judge Milo A. Root heads the committee on preparation. SPENCER & CO. A. M. Spencer, Newton S.

The story has been widely read and discussed by all classes of people. The play is a dramatization of the story and resembles "Camile," "Frou Frou" and plays of that character. The company that will present it is in every respect a competent one and the Third Avenue Theatre is liable to be filled at every performance during the run of "Sapho," not alone on account of its literary notoriety, but for the reason that the production is sure to be an excellent one.
