Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN saccona VOL. VII NO.7 TWICE TOLD TALES That an Observant Person Will Hear as He Perambulates the Streets of the Great Queen City of the Northwest In Most Cases they are both Laughable and Ludicrous and in Some Instances of a Rather Serious Turn—Many Morals to be Drawn from Them by the Street Philosopher. An observant person can see many things of general interest in as large a city as is Seattle, and there are always some people who take advantage of such an opportunity. Things that one occasionally sees often goes beyond the laughable point and verges very closely on to the ludicrous. For an instant, a few days ago the city patrol wagon, in which evil doers are hauled to the police headquarters, ran over a dog, crashed into a wagon, came very near running over a woman and little child and finally only lacked an inch of toppling over in the street as it turned a sharp corner, at such a rapid rate was the wreckless driver urging his fiery team through the crowded streets, as he hurried to some station to arrest a man for fast driving. No one has made application for that police driver to be sent to the assylum as yet, but it is doubtless only an oversight on the part of those citizens knowing the facts. One day this week Bonney & Stewart's fine hearse team, which is noted for its gentleness, was standing waiting for the wagon to be loaded with a dead body, when all of a sudden the horses pricked up their ears and without further notice or warning took out at a Jay Eye See speed. Down the street they went knocking wagons and other vehicles helta skelta until the dead wagon crashed into a telegraph pole and brought the horses to a stand still. A kid, who saw the run away replied to a question as to what caused it, "Why the undertakers were preparing to put a Mick and a Coon in the hearse at the same time and the horses wouldn't stand it. "I want to know what is the matter with my paper as I never get it?" disgustedly demanded a postoffice employee of a newspaper publisher one day this week. "The paper is mailed regularly and if you do not get it, it is the fault of the postoffice department," was the publisher's reply. Whereupon both of the men went to the office and after inquiry found the carrier's papers all in the office marked, "party unknown." Now this was not only laughable as well as ludicrous, but it was also damnable, and, it was excusable on the part of the publisher, when he used invectives more forcible than polite to the man having charge of that particular department. One day this week a cook in one of the prominent restaurants of this city was complaining of having the dyspesia very bad. "Since I have been working at this restaurant," said he, "I have not been able to get anything fit to eat and the way the food is gotten up is enough to kill a mule let alone a man," at that moment he remembered that he was the chief cook there, and he tried to smere things over by explaining as best he could, what he meant by using such language, but the more he explained the more ludicrous became the whole situation. until even he was compelled to break out in a roar of laughter. No wonder the average citizen kicks on restaurant grub, when even the man who prepares the grub declares that it is enough to kill a mule. A rather devout appearing young man, who talks long and loud at church meetings on Thurs-evenings, was seen not many evenings ago in such a beastly state of drunkness as to be lamentable. "Is not that Mr B. who is a devout member of the church?" was asked. "It is," was the reply. "Then I will go and talk with him." On addressing the young man and asking, "do you think that you are doing the right thing, and do you think you are practicing what you preach on Sundays?" the following came from the gentleman who had imbbed too freely of pepper and ginger: "well now, my friend, you must not do as I do, but do as I tell you to do," a bit laconic, nevertheless scriptorial. Those who heard it burst forth in a roar of laughter much to the discomfiture of the would-be chastising administering angel. "I came to live in Seattle for the express purpose of getting a divorce," said a delicate looking little lady one day this week in Judge Benson's court, who was asking to be legally separated from her husband on the grounds of non support and cruel treatment. This was a fatal admission in her case, and, for a time at least, it will prevent her from getting her separation papers. From the above it would appear that Seattle is the place where divorces are easily gotten if the applicants only know when to stop talking in their own defense. Almost as many divorces are granted in this city as there are marriage licences issued, which, to say the least, is deplorable. In this instance neither laughableness nor ludicrousness play any part, but deplorableness is the entire shooting match. If what the quid nunes said were true, something occurred in connection with the patrol wagon one day last week that was very amusing. A man who had been taken to the headquarters to sleep off an excessive jag, proved to be rather sick when he woke from his gagged state. It was decided to take him to the hospital for a few days since he had quite a bit of money on his person, which the police failed to find while he was gagging. On his way to the hospital in the patrol wagon he ordered the driver to go to a saloon and then he ordered drinks for the gang, which, owing to the onlookers, was refused by the policeman, but the fellow took in a couple of glasses of beer and bought a handful of cigars. He was waited upon by the dough faced policeman who sits in the wagon while the fellow drives at break neck speed through the streets. While this was going on a great crowd gathered around the wagon and some very laughable things were heard about the policemen driving the prisoners out to get wined and dined at the prisoner's expense. "Want a shave and hair cut, said a man last Sunday as he walked into a barbershop and his disheveled locks fell over his grizzly beard. The artist that attends to such, was not slow in getting the matted stuff off his face, because barbers do not like to have animals of that kind in their chairs. He had no, "fine day, sir," for that man, for he was not his kind. Then he may have SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1900. thought there was a shadow of doubt of him not getting his money. The man being worked upon was rater reticent and patiently submitted to being turned first one way and then another without much tenderness on the part of the barber. When the work had been finished and the long, lean, lank fellow began to dig down in his jeans and at the same time remarked, "I am just from Alaska, and good shaves like that was a great luxury up there," and pulled out a roll of bills as large as the barber's arm and asked, "how much is it?" "Ah, ah twenty-five cents. Oh no, fifty cents. No, ah nothing. Yes, something, but just anything you want to give me for such a neat and painstaking job as I have given you." As he finished the awkward remark roars of lauhter came from the other guests waiting for, "you are next." The Klondiker likewise joined in the laugh at the barber's expense as he handed him a dollar with, "keep the change." "Last Saturday's REPUBLICAN was a hummer and compliments of it were heard alike among friends and foes," said a friend one day this week, "and, I was asked, who did the work?" was a concluding remark. It is hard to convince some men, who labor under the belief that a "white skin" is within itself an emblem of superior mental greatness, and it is impossible for one having a different color of skin under any circumstances to be equally mentally great. The only reason the editor of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is not classed among the brightest newspaper writers in the Northwest by the leading men of this section, is because they are not able to tear off their masque of race prejudice. Could they ever succeed in doing this for but a short space of time this paper would be supported as it merits, and the editor hereof could eat as regularly as the other fellows. We take occasion to speak thusly because such remarks are weekly made, not that those who make them believe any one else, save the man whose name is at the head of the editorial column, does do the work, but knowing no other way to poke fun he tries to make it appear that a sub rosa editor is kept under salary by the announced editor. Where such an editor would ever get his pay from, considering the measley support and patronage this paper gets, its more than we can say, but regardless of the financial rediculousness of the proposition they continue to tell it the same as if it was all perfectly plausable. "Well, if there is any one thing that I take pride in, it is in aiding the building of churches, and I never loose an opportunity in contributing to solicitors collecting money for that purpose," said a well-known saloon man and gambler, one day this week. Giving to the cause of Christ by men who daily rob the Lord of what rightly belong to Him, and then compliment themselves for returning a small pittance of the stolen goods, is a new method of finding relief from a guilty conscience, and even saloon hangers-on always smile all over their faces, when the bar tender or the proprietor of some disreputable drinking joint, dig down in his tills and gives up fifty or a hundred dollars for church purposes, for they know twice the number of robberies will be committed therein that night to pay for the amount he has given to the church.

Says Phelps Whitmarsh-They are all Children in their Habits and Customs-They are Without Sense of Gratitude, yet Generous to All Visitors-Have no Originality, But Great Imitators. Recent events in the disturbed districts in Luzon give especial interest to the study of Filipino character by Phelps Whitmarsh in the current Outlook. General statements upon this subject are difficult, because there are so many kinds of Filipinos. In some parts the native is a savage. In others he is a tamed barbarian. In still others he is semi-civilized. In a few instances he is really civilized. In all cases he is a child from birth to death, frivolous, unthinking, and constant only in inconstancy. His want of tenacity in his opinions, leading him to accept today what he refused yesterday, and to hate tomorrow where he loves today, is what makes the Filipino so difficult for Europeans to understand. The Filipino never hurries or worries, and is destitute of "nerves" in the Western sense. He endures hardship and calamity with wonderful calmness, and is essentially a fatalist. He seems to have no sense of gratitude or affection, save that resulting from sexual attraction. Even foster-mothers will leave, without a word of regret, the children they have nursed. He is prone to sensuality, and the most jealous of lovers and husbands. But even in his crimes he is childish. He will serve an employer honestly for twenty years, and then run away with $100, out of a safe containing $20,000, to gratify some woman's whim. He is easily impressed by show, and cannot believe that a man who lives simply can be either wealthy or powerful. He is an inveterate gambler, and saves his fighting-cock from his burning house before his wife and children. He delights in ceremonial religion, and has no conception of worship without images, lights, and ritual. His only conscience is fear of consequences. He is lock at all times. master of none, and will drive a carriage, cook a dinner, or paint a house with equal facility. Despite his nearness to the art of the Orient, his esthetic taste is very weak. The women stick to their picturesque native dress, but the men will immediately seek to imitate any eccentric costume a foreigner of station may choose to wear. Even the women show little taste in color. In the fine arts a Filipino shows no creative power. He has produced but one painter of even second rank. He composes no original music, although his imitative faculty makes him a rapid learner and clever executant of other's compositions Many natives have studied in European colleges, but few have been successful. In acquiring foreign languages and book knowledge the Filipino is facile but superficial. Mr. Whitmarsh does not believe, contrary to a general opinion, that the Filipino is either rancorous or revengeful, except when his jealousy is roused He is too indifferent, indolent, and forgetful to pursue even a revenge. He will not tolerate punishment without cause, but his resentment is con- fined to running away. When convinced that he deserves punishment he suffers with resignation, and bears no ill-will. He is the soul of hospitality, but will rob his guest. He is prodigal when he has money, and yet grasping-Even when he has nothing to conceal he seldom speaks the truth. No one can predict under given conditions how he will reason or what he will do. "No one can understand his character," concludes Mr. Whit marsh, "because he is not yet sufficiently developed to have a character. He is a man with a child's nature."—Inter Ccean. Life In Santo Domingo. The homes of the peons are very primitive, merely huts built of plain boards split into strips about two and a half inches in width, and fastened with vines to four posts some twenty feet apart. The ground serves for a floor, while the roof is made of a network of poles, forming a peak in the center and covered with several layers of palm leaves, fastened down with ropelike strips of the same palm leaf. Back of these huts they usually build a small shed, where the cooking is done over little iron pots, in which they burn charcoal. This pot is about as large as a good-sized washbasin, and has a hole in the bottom for draught. The houses are furnished with a rough board set upon sticks for a table, one or two small native chairs, and a cot covered with cowhide. Here the peon lives with his wife and more or less naked children huddled together with his pigs, dogs and gamecocks. The native's one staple dish is known as sancoche—a stew of rice, beans, cassava, manioc, pork, plantain, chicken, and other convenient ingredients. With this and a joint of sugarcane he makes his dinner and dessert. Any morning in the market place one may see him looking over heaps of sugarcane and selecting from them such sticks as his judgment dictates. If he has a trip to make, he does not bother with a lunch basket but takes two or three joints of sugarcane. Having stripped the cane, he chews the pith and nourishes himself with the juices there from.—International Magazine. William J. Bryan has been re-nominated for President of the United States by the Democrats. The Kansas City convention has been one of the most stormy among Democrats since the South Carolina convention, which resulted in an attempt to split this government in twain. The patriotic Democrats were determined that Bryan heresies should not prevail in the convention, but they, for the most part, lost out and the convention again fastened 16 to 1 on the Democratic ass, though Imperalism is made the foremost hobby. Mr. Bryan was re-nominated without a dissenting vote, but no vice president has been selected [Friday morning] as yet. The press for Hill is very great and it is most likely that he will be nominated despite his protests. LISRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS FOURTH OF JULY Was a Gala Day and Young America Made the Best of It—Washington, Jefferson and Adams Would be Well Pleased—Seattle Parade Covered Itself With Glory—Floats All Made a Handsome Appearance—A Mad Woman Demands Her Team of Paraders and Stops the Procession Another milestone in the Nation's history has been past, which brought its usual happiness to all manner of man. Could the signers of the Declaration of Independence, promulgated some century and a quarter ago, have peeped down on young America last Wednesday they would have been pleased beyond measure at the patriotic fires that burned so brilliantly on that day. Never will Old Glory trail in the dust so long as the sons and daughters of her Republic exhibit such a spirit of patriotism. Washington, Jefferson and Adams could say without hesitancy of the entire United States from Main to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, "These are my beloved children with whom we are well pleased." Seattle's Fourth of July committee promised the citizens a gala day on the Fourth and they more than kept their promise. The day was ushered in with the usual buzz, boom and roar of cannon and fireworks. The thronging crowds surging to and fro on the streets left no room for doubt that the people were out for a night and a day off and they proposed to make the very best of it. The steam boats and railroads brought their loads of humanity the morning of the Fourth for the celebration, all of whom but continued to swell the crowd, anxious to see and hear all. Grand Marshal Moore had issued orders that the parade move promptly at 10 o'clock, but it was quite 11 before it got in motion. It may have been slow in getting in motion, but what it lacked in promptness it quite made up in quality. Every feature about the parade is to be complimented even to the excessive amount the bands of music charged for their services. And on this point it has been suggested that, the brass bands in future be offered only a reasonable amount for their services on such occasions and, if the hold-up proposition is tried, just cut that part of the procession out, and that excessive charging would not be The police platoon, which lead the procession, made a splendid showing, and, if they could only capture evil doers as well as their slow and measured treads captured those looking at them in the parade, they would cease to be ornamental and at once become useful to this city. "Uncle Sam's Colonies," which were to be one of the features of the parade, had a mishap at the last minute by a vicious woman appearing on the scene and demanding the phaeton in which the children were to be drawn, because "her man" failed to get her consent to let the team. "Cuba" was the only island represented. The postoffice carriers made a brilliant turn out, and Postmaster Stewart smiled plum back to his neck as they passed down the streets. Page. repeated again soon. Continued to the Fourth Page. The old, old organ has been over hauled, And put in fairly good order; But the Pipers are drifting, drifting, drift ing, And will soon drift over the border. Oh! those pipety, piping Piper boys, Who are lost beyond redemption; Have already found themselves obliged To seek a new pre-emption. They stick to Tom and put him up, For everything in sight; But 'tis plain to be seen that Levi's purse Is not just now in sight.^ Oh! those pipety, piping, Piper boys, Without organ, purse or sense; Are just beginning to realize, That time brings recompense. Sammy has picked up his musty old law books, And Frank has gone to Jersey or to h—l; But as to Scandinavian Johnny— The good Lord alone can tell. But the pipety, piping, Piper boys Are played completely out; The gang are clearly on the run, And the end will be a rout. Poor Tom! his occupation's gone, The game is clearly up; And hereafter as an honest man, He must work if he would sup. But these pipety, piping Piper boys, Wherever they reside; No one will care how they may fare, Or what may them betide. MORAL MORAL. When Nomads and Bohemians, In prospecting strike a lead, They should stick to business methods, And suppress inordinate greed. But the pipety, piping Piper boys, Weighed down with sins unpardonable, Are sinking in Serbonean bogs, Whose depths are quite unfathomable. —Melvin ☐ ☐ ☐ Over in Ellensburg quite a few anti-Wilson men subscribed for the Bee because it was supporting the Piper-Humes-Ankeny gang. It seems that the proprietor of that paper made something of a grandstand play in that direction while "working" that city and quite a few of the politicians over there bit at the proposition. For a while they were delighted with their little Seattle "weakly," and was complimenting it wherever they went. "If you think Tom Humes, of King county, is going to loose out, see what the Bee says," is what they are wont to say to the proposition, but soon a great change came over the Bee's editor and he deserted the Humes' people, and became a rabid supporter of Senator Frink. Now those Ellensburg politicians want either their money back or the policy of the paper changed again, as they have been buncoed. The most of them are even refusing to take it out of the office so fearful are they that the Ankeny people will see them with it in their hands. --- Political gossips in Democratic circles have been rather scarce during the past week, owing largely to the fact that most of the politicians were either in Kansas City attending the National convention or spending their entire time reading the newspapers to see what those that were there would do in the platform business. There can be no fusion in this or any other state without a 16 to 1 plank in he Democratic platform, and for at time it looked as though the Gold Bug Democrats would defeat anything with a 16 to 1 ring to it. Mr. Bryan was persistent, however, and stood out for it, and the committee voted to insert it by 27 to 25. There may be a great many free silver Republicans in some sections of this country to fuse with the Democrats, but such are not to be found in this immediate section. The Republicans no longer fear fusion as they have turned the conglomeration down just as easily as they once did the Democratic party. ```markdown ``` Prof. J. M. Layhue, a well known King county educator, who is at present in charge of the Puyallup schools, has announced his candidacy for the state superintendency of public schools. Once he was superintendent of the schools of King county, and as such he filled tho bill most admirably. No man in the state stands higher among the educators and school teachers than Prof. Layhue, and --- the Pie-maker is of the opinion that if he is nominated he will prove a tower of strength to the Republican ticket. He was defeated for re-election in King county in 1896, when all Republicans, whether good or bad, fell before the great free silver tidal wave. It comes to the Pie-maker that teachers from all parts of the state have already written Prof. Layhue offering their aid to help him to secure the nomination, and will work for his election without regard to party affiliations. This means much for the success of the Republican party, and it would be the right and proper thing for it to nominate such popular candidates for all of its offices. --- "Tom Humes will receive the nomination for governor of this state whether he does or does not receive the endorsement of King county, and, if Tom Humes is not nominated for governor no one else from King county will be on the Republican ticket," is what a few clauses of the Humes-Piper-Ankeny combine are daily cracking on the streets these days. Those fellows realize that they have lost King county and they take this particular way of trying to brow beat the opposition to Humes into deserting their candidate and supporting Humes, believing that fate has decreed that King county will have to stand for Humes or get nothing at the hands of the state convention. Perhaps other sections of this state are so much enamored with Tom Humes as to go to him whether he has or has not anything to return for their coming, but it is by no means probable. If the other sections of the state have decided that King county is to have the governorship it is unreasonable to suppose that they will say it must be this or that man. They will say, "settle it among your selves and come to the state convention as a unit for your choice and he will receive our most favorable consideration." --- Pretty nearly every section in this state has some favorite candidate for a state office, and to land their man they will go to that faction that can give them the largest number of votes in return. If Tom Humes fails to get King county even Mr. Ankeny himself will desert him. All that talk of Mr. Humes' popularity among the voters of this state is buncom pure and simple, for, if he is so popular he would have long ago been nominated for a state office as he has been a candidate for some one of them ever since he has been in the state. In 1891 he was a candidate for supreme judge and had the united support of the King county delegation, and yet it is officially said that he did not get a vote outside of the King county delegation. In the late senatorial scrap he did not get a single bona fide vote outside of King county and even those votes he got from King county were bogus ones, as they never intended to do anything but go to Ankeny at the proper time. Neither of the "twelve statesmen twelve" wanted to see Tom Humes elected to the senate and they did not propose to permit it. 😊 😊 😊 Perhaps the scalest trick that has been turned in Seattle for a good many moons, was turned last Monday evening, when the board of health, at the behest of the Piper-Humes combine, decapitated H. L. Emery, as deputy health inspector, to make room for one A. C. Rundle, one of the most abomable political hangers-on in the county. Rundle knows no more about the business he is expected to perform than does a hog about the music he hears from a brass band, but he was clamoring for a job, and threatening to quit the Humes people unless he was given one, and so he had to be cared for by firing a competent man and putting in a dummy. --- The Humes combine is being taxed to its utmost to hold its fighting forces together, and in spite of them its men are constantly dropping off. When Emery was decapitated there were a number of claquers that had been promised the job, but only one could get it, and Rundle being the successful man, all of the others were disappointed, and as a result, are now sore heads—using the street pass word. Tommy Bevan was promised the place and when he did not get it he flew the coop and said, "Humes be d—d! I have all of him and Piper that I want, so in future count me again the gang." It is now currently reported that he is out fighting Humes like a mad man. There are other well-known ward leaders that are also tottering in their support of Piper-Humes, and the Piper-maker predicts that before the time of the primaries Mr. Frink will have four-fifths of the entire county convention. --- Senator A. G. Foster, better known as Blundering Foster passed through the city last Wednesday on his way from Washington City. Senator Foster did not make as bad a break while in Seattle as did his son some months ago, on meeting one of the prominent colored men of the city, but the spirit that prompted Harry Foster to act as he did seems to have been inherited directly from his father. --- Charles E. Claypool, the deputy United States attorney for this district, has resigned and will go to Alaska to act as a commissioner of Judge Wickersham's court. No man in the state is more generally liked than Charley Claypool and the boys will miss him in the coming campaign. The Pie-maker regrets very much that he is to quit Seattle, but since he is going where he can do better for himself, he has his permission to go and bring back a ton of coal. --- Ed. Cushman, brother of Congressman Cushman, has been given the place made vacant by Mr. Claypool's resignation. Once in Tacoma a law firm ran like this, Cushman, Claypool & Cushman, attorneys at law. Of that firm, Frank is now a member of Congress, Claypool is United States court commissioner in Alaska and Ed Cushman is deputy United States attorney for this district. If the members of that old law firm made a vow to each other to go out and get office, then they have succeeded most admirably, for all of them have an office and an office that pays well. --- And it came to pass that after war had broken out in the house of David, a great strife arose in the house of Levi. Because of its good name for peace and brotherly love this house has long been known as Union, but now has that name become a lie and a reproach. Now the grand desire of Levi's soul is to be one of the rabbis of the great Sanhedrim of Washington that he may sit at the feet of Mark, whose surname is Hanna, the great prophet, and learn wisdom. To gain this great honor Levi is ready to give the half of his great fortune in gold and silver, wherefore has he gathered round him many men of wisdom and valor and made them captains of tens, of fifties, of hundreds, of thousands, and of tens of thousands of—shekels. Among these captains is Jehoshaphat Howard of the tribe of Watson, who was brought from the land of Chelan and made the chief scribe of the household. Jehosophat is a man of great learning and wisdom, mighty in counsel, wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. This man did Levi place in charge of the Union household saying, "If any man shall ask thee, Whose house is this? then shalt thou answer, It is mine." And Jehoshaphat bowed himself to the ground before his master saying, "Yea, lord, it shall be as thou hast commanded." Now there was in the household one Leahy, keeper of the records and of the treasure. When this man saw that Jehoshphat was exalted above him, he become very wroth, and swore that the chief scribe should be humbled. Now it came to pass that Levi, the chief priest, donned his linen ephod and his linen breeches and taking his staff, set out on a long journey to Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, to burn incense before the altar of Hanna. And when he had departed, Jehoshaphat went to the Union synagogue and demanded of Leahy the key to the treasure house. And Leahy waxed very wroth and said with an oath, "Whose house is this?" And Jehoshaphat answered as he had been commanded by Levi, "It is mine." And Leahy said, "Thou dost speak falsely, and if thou dost not hold thy peace, I will cast thee out of the rear door of the synagogue." And Jehoshaphat was very, wroth, and he answered, "I shall report thee to Levi." And Leahy answered, "Report and be damned." And Jehoshaphat turned away and went to an upper chamber where the wicked ceased from troubling and the weary could rest. And thus did Jehoshaphat speak, "He that rulerth his tongue is mightier than he that conquers a city. If thine enemy smite the on thy right cheek turn the left to him also. Thus have I done and when Levi shall return I shall be given the reward of the faithful." And thus endeth the first chapter. Moran Bros.

Gus Dorhman was struck by a passing street car as he was getting off of one car on the Madison street line, and was so badly injured that he died that night. He was a saloon keeper. Duncan McKinnon, an iron mounder at Moran Bros., doubtless celebrated too much and fell in the bay and was drowned. He has a wife and children in Saganaw, Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Holmes of Spokane are visiting the Sound country for a week. Mr. Holmes is connected with a railroad company of Spokane, which position he has held for the past ten years. He visited McNeils Island where his brother is employed as one of the guards. Mr. John P. Reed of Portland was murdered in this city last Wednesday evening. He had considerable money on his person when he left his rooms in the Ranier-Grand hotel, and though he failed to occupy his room the evening of the Fourth nothing was thought of it until his hacked remains likeunto the work of a Jack the Ripper, were found on Jackson street. His valuables had all been taken. By calling at this office information about the sale of a splendid little wood yard, all well equipped and doing a nice business can be had. The owner has business that demands his immediate attention in the East and must sell. A splendid team of horses and two wagons can be had with the business and a small quantity of wood on hand. You might miss a good thing by not seeing about this snap today. Mrs. H. R. Cayton mourns the loss of her oldest sister, who died in Holly Springs, Miss., the 22d of June. The South of that city, said in part of her as follows: "Mrs. Lillie Revels Houston, the eldest daughter of ex-Senator Hiram Revels, died at her father's home in this city, June 22, 1900. She died as she lived, an earnest and faithful child of God." The editor of this paper, who was a classmate of Miss. Lillie Revels, ere she married, also sorrowfully regrets to learn of her death. She had given her entire mature life to the betterment of the colored race, and she will be greatly missed in that line Mr. Stewart, son of the well-known T. McCant Stewart, who is now practicing law in Honolulu, is visiting in the city. He is a resident of Dakota and there interested in the creamery business. For some time he was connected with the famous Tuskegee Institute and incidentally he now lectures in behalf of that school. He lectured in Tacoma last Sunday evening, and will possibly have something to say in one of the leading churches of this city before returning to his home. Mr. Stewart is also interested in a butter concern and is looking over the field preparatory to establishing an agency at this point to ship butter to Nome.

Newcastle, June, 29, 1900. Mr. Cayton:—Please allow space in your paper for a public notice from me. I arrived in Seattle Feb., 10, 1900, for the purpose of closing work in the interest of the American National Baptist Convention, and since that time I have pastored the Mt. Zion Baptist church of Seattle for four months, but as the time draws to a close, I must give my time to my work. I shall not be able to do any more pastorial work, but must do the work that I am sent to do. It has been reported by some of the citizens of Seattle that I deserted the Mt. Zion Baptist church, but it is not true. They deserted me, so I am only left to carry out my mission. B. J. PRINCE, D. D., M. D. FOURTH OF JULY The float containing the little girls representing the various states, made a handsome show, and was the recipient of many applauses along the line of march. The Japanese sailors and officers were a splendid feature of the parade. The fact that Mayor Humes rode in a carriage with a Japanese, brought out some unfavorable comments among labor union growlers. The Sunday School scholars of the African Methodist Episcopal church had a very handsome float, and as they discoursed patriotic airs during the march, they attracted much attention. But, as said above, each and every feature of the parade was excellent and deserving of individual comment The G. A. R. float, the old settlers' carriages, the First Volunteer Fire Department of Seattle, and the industrial representations were all tastefully as well as attractively gotten up, and added much to the success of the procession. The Indians were attractive if not handsome. The bands discoursed sweet music and the crowds looked and saw everything that was to be seen in the long line of march. Everyone who was in Seattle last Wednesday will agree that the "old bird, sho' did scream, the entire day." A fire in a frame building in which a clothing store and a crockery and a tea concern did business, closed the day. Both were heavily insured and the accidental fire doubtless proved an advantageous way of disposing of a dragging stock of goods. Though Tacoma had made preparations to give her citizens one of the grandest Fourth of July celebrations in her history, a gloom was early thrown over the day's festivities by a heavily loaded street car, with persons from the neighborhood of Edsen, on their way to the city, plunging over an embankment one hundred feet high. The car was smashed into splinters and thirty of the passengers, mostly children, were killed, and thirty others, perhaps, fatally wounded. There were 104 persons on the car and more than half of them were killed and wounded. The horror is worse by far than the Vancouver street car horror on the Queen's birthday some three years ago.
