Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VoL VII., NO. 37 ITEMS OF INTEREST ITEMS OF INTEREST Culled and Collected from Reliable Sources. World Notes Condensed to Readable Form—Items Concerning Various Congressional Doings—Scientific Matters Brought Out Briefly. The king of Spain gets a couple of million a year. The president of France gets $240,000 a year salary. The legal rate of interest in Canada is only 5 per cent. The czar of Russia manages to exist on $12,000,000 a year. The emperor of Austria, being a widower, lives on $12,000 a day. Alabama and Virginia will both try for new constitutions this year. The electrical works of Germany represent an investment of $300,000,000. Queen Victoria had seventy-three children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Spokane promises to have three tickets in the field at her coming municipal election. Kansas City will build a large banana warehouse capable of holding twenty-five carloads. The penitentiary board of Mississippi has purchased 1,000 acres for a state convict plantation. The canal bill introduced in the Prussian diet calls for an appropriation of $97,250,000. Chicago has the only municipal pawnshop in this country. They are common in Europe. Canada will have a building at the Pan-American exposition which will be a credit to the country. The Chinese came off from their high perch when they found that Waldersee was in dead earnest. An immense searchlight which will cast its rays fifty miles will be on exhibition at the exposition. Sing Sing's name is derived from "Sint Sies," the title of a former branch of the Mohican Indians. In 1890 the output of minerals in the United States amounted to about $619,000; in 1899 to $976,000. A horse can pull three tons on level steel rails for every ton he can pull on an ordinary high road. The court at Leavenworth, Kan., refused to release the notorious Capt. Carter on a writ of habeas corpus. Palms never live more than 250 years. Ivy has been known to live 450, chestnut 860, oak 1,600 years. Saloon licenses are being raised in many of the towns and cities of the state and Seattle should follow suit. Ceylon is setting its house in order against the arrival of the plague. The municipality has killed 60,000 rats. The biggest thing in the way of guns ever produced will be on exhibition at the Pan-American exposition. The oldest bonnet was found on an Egyptian mummy, that of a princess who was interred about 2,000 years B. C. Pat Crowe has written to Millionaire Cudahee denying any connivance with the abduction of Mr. Cudahee's son. The New York Press says that it is much easier for a woman to feel that she has a pure heart when she has on a silk petticoat. The Paris exposition managers report a loss of only $400,000. The expenditures were $23,300,000 and the receipts $22,900,000. A St. Louis (Mo.) teacher, to promote punctuality among her pupils, promised to kiss the first to arrive. The inducement proved altogether too popular with the big boys. Victoria managed to live on $220 an hour. Eighteen years ago the mayor of a commune in Switzerland and two citizens perished in a glacier. The remains of the latter were recovered, but those of the mayor were caught in a crevaise and only a portion could be recovered. The glacier has now given up the balance, which consisted of a portion of a leg, some clothing and some francs. The Aberdeen Bulletin says, out of eight criminal cases were no convictions at the later cial term of the superior o There was just one criminal tried at the last term of court there was no conviction for the ple reason that the Aberdeen auities allowed the guilty man to es and arrested the first men they pened to meet at the scene of crime. Furthermore, it is said The Chicago Great Western and the Chicago & Alton and Erie railroads have stopped the practice of allowing peddlers and news agents upon their trains, as it was found to be a nuisance to the traveling public. Greenwich time has been adopted officially in Spain, and the number of hours has been numbered from 1 to 24, as in Italy. The fine Greek bronze recently discovered at Pompeii has been placed in the Naples museum, where examination shows it to be covered with a fine layer of silver, says a Rome correspondent. This peculiarity gives the statue unique value, as is believed to be no other bronze statue in the world so cover bronze statue in the world so covered. The Philadelphia Record says that in one of the large cities there is an unknown clerk who for several weeks has been stamping religious texts on the mail that passes through his hands. Business men of New York, Chicago and Philadelphia have been finding lately in purple type across their correspondence such admonitions as "Prepare to meet thy God," or "No man knoweth the day not hour when his soul shall be required of him." This has made many of the business men angry, and a search has been instituted, but thus far without success. The special agent of the United States department of agriculture in charge of the experiment station at Sitka, Alaska, reports that there is not the slightest doubt that grain can be matured anywhere in Alaska. He obtained samples of wheat, oats, barley and rye from several points in the interior, some even in the far north. These grains were grown during the season of 1900. With one exception they grew wild from seed that was scattered, and it is but right to suppose if they will grow without cultivation they would do much better if properly planted. Flax was also grown at Sitka. It attained a height of more than three feet. The agent says that flax would undoubtedly be a profitable crop to raise. PERSONALS. Mr. J. F. Gayton sustained a painful accident last week by severing his left thumb with a hatchet. Miss Cora Oliver is quite ill at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. E. Hawkins. Mrs. Scruggs, a former resident of this city, who has been absent for two years, returned last Friday on her way to Alaska, where she has flattering offers. Mr. H. R. Cayton announces in a telegram to Mrs. Cayton the death of her mother, Phoeba A. Revels, widow of the late ex-Senator H. R. Revels, of Mississippi. Whatcom has twenty-six saloons, paying a license of $400 per year each, but the council of that place is seriously thinking of raising the license to $1,000 each.—Skagit News-Herald. People who say high license is the proper caper should not object to paying a high license. The legislature this week accomplished the death of the Tolman railroad commission bill in the senate by a vote of 20 to 14. The measure had it become a law would only have created an expensive political graft.—Weekly Capital. If all the prospective telephone systems were inaugurated in Seattle, there will be fun for a short time at least.—Republican. Yes, it is reasonable to expect that there will be a regular "Hell-o" all the time.—Washington Standard. The British museum has recently come into possession of a mummy which is generally believed by experts to be at least 8,000 years old. The Siamese government has asked for American bids for the construction of a plant for the manufacture of ammunition in that country. In Winona, Minn., there has been 900 cases of smallpox, and some of the surrounding cities and towns have quarantined against the infected city. British Columbia has renewed its quarantine against the state of Washington. Passengers are to be examined at Northport and vaccination compelled. The natural park of 1,297 square miles proposed at the headwaters of the Mississippi, will, if it is established, be the first in the central region of the country. It looks very much as though the South African war had about run its length. Gen. Botha has seen the handwriting and has opened negotiations for peace. There are no less than 45,000 lap dogs in Paris, and the owners pay 10 francs a year license and when they die they are as well taken care of as most human beings. The American people spend $112,000,000 annually for theater going. In Sweden it has been decreed that a separate ear must be provided on suburban night trains for intoxicated persons. Rare Egyptian papyri are to be distributed among American universities and museums. Antiquities collected by the Egyptian exploration fund are distributed pro rata according to their subscriptions. Pliny says the liquor of the cuttlefish was often used by the Romans for an ink. It was considered superior to the lampblack preparation, but it was not used so freely on account of its much greater cost. All over the country there is an oil boom in progress. Companies are being formed and experts are being sent out to keep track of the progress of the work. Most of the companies will bear close watching. The brother of Andree, the missing aeronaut, has opened his brother's will, as he has long since given up the idea of hearing from him, and the tenor of it shows that the explorer hardly expected to return. Only fifty years ago but one woman worked to every fifty men. At present the rate is one to four. Thirty years ago two-thirds of all the self-supporting women were domestic servants. Today only one-third are so employed. The largest uncut diamond in the world was the Bonanza, owned by the king of Portugal, 1,680 carats. Its cutting reduced it to 367 carats, but even thus it retains its supremacy, and the next largest is the Star of the South, 254 carats. Frau Rosa von Rosthorn, wife of the acting Austrian minister at Peking, has been given by the Austrian emperor a war medal hitherto only awarded to men. Her valor and services during the seige also won her the French Legion of Honor. Sixty per cent. of the voters of Jackson county, Miss., are delinquent on poll tax and nearly 6,000 in Hinds county. The great majority are property owners and whites. This shows that disfranchisement cuts in more ways than one. Hartford's new steam patrol wagon, which cost $2,505, weighs 3,000 pounds and is operated at a cost of 21-2 cents a mile. It is of twelve horse power and runs from 15 to 20 miles an hour. In five minutes a steam pressure of 200 pounds can be generated from cold water. The Japanese have started a movement to mark the place of Commodore Perry's landing at Yokohama with a suitable memorial. It is probable that it will take the form of a lighthouse on the dangerous Plymouth rocks at the entrance to Umya bay, the beacon to be surmounted by a bronze figure of the commodore. The Aberdeen Bulletin says that out of eight criminal cases there were no convictions at the late special term of the superior court. There was just one criminal case tried at the last term of court and there was no conviction for the simple reason that the Aberdeen authorities allowed the guilty man to escape and arrested the first men they happened to meet at the scene of the crime. Furthermore, it is said that the man who did the cutting which resulted in the death of his victim made his escape from the scene of the crime through a restaurant, where one or more Aberdeen officers were seated at the tables.—The Vidette. In King county we do not have to make any excuses for not convicting murderers. A defendant might walk up to the rack and acknowledge the corn and yet some unknown influence would induce the jury to acquit. But we hope for better things under changed conditions. An English trade review pays an eloquent tribute to one of the salient features of the McKinley tariff when it warns the Welsh tin plate manufacturers that they "may shortly find American manufacturers competing in this trade as in others" in Great Britain. And it was only a few short years ago that the Journal's free trade contemporaries were vociferously assuring their readers that tin plate never, never could be produced in America—that American tin plate mills were all "myths!"—Boston Journal. During the campaign of 1898 one of the best informed men of Seattle informed the editor of this paper that to his certain knowledge the manufacture of tin in paying quantities was absolutely impossible in America. Since then and even before the United States had become a heavy exporter and today threatens to invade all the fin markets of the world. A decision has been rendered by a British Columbia judge which may bring consternation to numerous stockholders in that country who have purchased mining shares of companies at less than the par value. His decision is to the effect that if a party buys stock direct from a company at less than par, that the purchaser is liable for the difference. If the par value is $1 a share and but 10 cents was paid for it, the holder is liable for the difference of 90 cents a share. Of course there is no liability unless the company has an indebedness. However, if the stock is purchased second-handed, this decision does not apply. A similar decision was rendered by a Montana judge several years ago in the case of the Fourth of July Mining Company, which cost a Butte mining man nearly $20,000.—Newport Miner. It may have the effect of curtailing the amount of worthless stock that is annually placed upon the market this side of the line by sleek British Columbians that are never intended to pay dividends. The Seattle slot machines were frightened into retirement on Thursday. Complaint was made against half a dozen of them, and the owners of the rest of the machines made haste to remove them.—Reveille. The slot machines have not all been removed, but unless the Anti-Saloon League lets up their days are numbered. A bill has been passed by the legislature making the office of wreckmaster an appointive one, instead of elective, as at present. Thus will the practical joke in the county convention be missed.—Island County Times. There will be one less position with which to fix up disgruntled ward heelers. Our Dumb Animals, edited by George T. Angel, of Boston, is trying to compel the United States to stop selling horses and mules to Great Britain. We wonder how our farmers and stockraisers will take to this scheme of the old man. The supreme court of Missouri has decided that the pure food law, enacted two years ago, is constitutional. This law prohibits the use of alum in baking powders and kindred combinations. The decision settles the legality of the law, but not the justice, equity or good sense of the legislature in passing it.. The impudence of the baking powder trust in demanding such an enactment is only equalled by the stupidity of the representatives who complained with their designs. An insult is offered to congress in asking it to pass a measure of similar import.—The West Coast Trade. We cannot see where the insult comes in. If it is an insult to protect consumers from the rascally knaves who palm off edibles that destroy health and life, then it is a good idea for an occasional insult to be forwarded to congress. If goods were sold for what they really are there would be no outey. Washington's birthday was generally observed in Seattle. The anti-saloon league is still after the gamblers and law breakers. Edward Clyde, another victim, gave up his life for having too much faith in saloon protection. A special venire had to be issued for the trial of Langdon, who shot and killed Gambler Shank. The mayor signed the side entrance ordinance and it is now the law of the city. Slot machines have been removed on account of the vigorous prosecution instituted by the anti-saloon league. The Seattle Central Railway Company has sold $250,000 bonds of that company. This is the Frink-Tremper road. The Morans began overhauling the Bear last week in preparation for her long trip to Siberia to secure reindeer for Alaska. Variety theaters below the deadline are afraid that the new ordinance relating to the box business will mean them. More tracks are needed on the Northern Pacific yards south and efforts are being made by business men to remedy the matter. Trancontinental lines are all daily crowded with passengers for Puget sound. A very large percentage come here to make permanent homes. Crowds of home seekers are coming to the city on every train, and even the rapid pace of building is not keeping up with the demand for house room. The Star had a reporter interview the saloon keepers of the city o the question of high license, and the funny part of the business was that each one considered the other fellow's place a dive. Shomo's attorneys are again playing the waiting game. They think, rightly, if they can get continuance after continuance until the prosecuting witness is tired out, they will acquit the monster. A. D. McKenzie has started for the Koyukuk country. He will be about forty days on the route. Mac will make it if anybody can, but the trip will be a lonesome one and his job not envied. Langdon was acquitted of the murder of Shank in the criminal department of the superior court. It could hardly have been otherwise. The prosecuting office was outclassed as far as attorneys were concerned. Dr. E. Weldon Young has again been re-elected president of the Sons of the American Revolution. The doctor is one of the most popular young men in the city, and the society did a wise thing when they selected him to the position. The Chicago Loan Office was robbed of diamonds of considerable value. The thief thoroughly planned the raid and had the proprietor where he could but look on and see his property taken. Two policemen were a few feet away, but they might as well been in the Soudan for any good they were to him. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS SEATTLE SUMMARY SEATTLE SUMMARY Reporter's Notes of Various Things. Appropriately Bunched for the Quick Reader—Gathered from All Points of the City's Compass —Council Notes. Gov. Nash has come out on top, and henceforth prizefighting will be one of the lost arts in the Buckeye state. W. J. Meredith began proceedings last week against W. G. Rartranft which may lead to a speedy settlement of the matter at issue. James and Rinehart were never the disinterested patriots that some people believe them to be. But one year more and their faces will be sadly missed. A twenty-inch wooden water main will be built to Green lake and Fremont. When completed, those suburbs will be supplied with city water. Jerome Catlin, at one time one of the hop kings of Puget Sound, died at 2122 Fourth avenue, of heart failure. Mr. Catlin was an intelligent, kindly man, such as one delights to meet. Helen Gould is building one of the finest Young Men's Christian Association buildings in the world at Brooklyn, N. Y. It will cost $300,-000, and it is intended as a memorial to her parents. The Seattle and Lake Washington Waterway Committee are now going to work in earnest to build the South canal. Gov. Semple said that contracts would be let this week. They have all the money they need. The council passed the increase of salary ordinance, and now some of the best legal lights maintain that it is illegal on the ground that the constitution of Washington expressly provides that no salary shall be increased or diminished during his term of office. The anti-saloon league is after the slot machines that pay money and show lewd pictures. When the appreciate the fact that these devices are even worse than the liquor sold, they will take a practical step for the suppression of evil and will be a practical element for reform. The Seattle Central Railway Company, whose leading stockholders are Frink, White, Meacham and Tremper, will try and make some important changes in their route which will make them important competitors of the Seattle Electric Railway Company. J. A. Moore has removed the mask and the halo which was supposed to surround the immortal J. J. Hill. The peculiar feature of the situation was the fact that his sponsor, A. J. Blethen, of the Times, allowed the communication space in his paper, following in an editorial which was mournful in tone. James and his penny evening sheet are endeavoring to make the people believe that the Automatic Telephone Company is in no manner an offspring of the Sunset. James forgets that he proved to the contrary a few nights ago in a speech in the city council. It isn't so much the interest of the "dear" people that James is considering as it is his own.—Review. The supreme court has handed down a decision in the somewhat noted case of the Charles Hopkins estate against the American Loan & Building Association of Minneapolis, a defunct, fraudulent concern. The amount involved was not very large, but as a test case for the numerous other cases of similar facts it is all important. The plaintiff had paid over $4,000 dues before the concern became insolvent, and this amount he wanted credited on the mortgage note. Fred H. Peterson was the attorney for the plaintiff. T e Rspublican Pub. Co., Publishers OFFICE 711 THIRD AVENUE Advertising rates Furnished upon application Entered at the Postoffice at Seattle as Second Class Mail Matter. Politics makes strange bedfellows, and there is but little honesty in the whole business, but such actions as we have enumerated, puts into the background even the schemes of Boss Croker and Matt Quay. Consisting of Prof. Seligman and others, a self-constituted committee has undertaken the task of driving Stanford university out of business. Prof. Jordan has given an answer which should shut the mouths of ambitious professors. Only one day more of Pettigrew and Lentz, and then the people could well afford to offer praises for being rid of two out of three of the biggest nuisances in congress. Sulzer is the other member of the trio that could well be spared. Democratic papers are hinting that the sugar trust influenced Secretary Gage in making his decision against the admission of Russian sugar the terms granted the most favored nation. But then it is not strange they should think so, for they know what they would do if they were in his position. However unpleasant the statement may be to the people who have allowed their sympathy for the cause of the Boers to get the better of their judgment, the fact remains that they are hopelessly beaten, and every day the struggle is prolonged will be so much worse for the defeated burghers. By laying down their arms they will save what remains of their remaining property. The Coulee City News need not shed any more crocodile tears over Mrs. Lawton's pension. She is worth at least $125,000, and with a pension of $50 a month she will be able to live as respectably as the editor of the News. Gen. Lawton received a large salary for forty years and saved about $25,000, and the wealthy people of the country raised about $100,000 more for his widow. We have been waiting patiently for Mr. Bryan and his Commoner, as champion of all the oppressed people of the universe, to get after the man who introduced the bill in the North Carolina legislature to prevent colored people from practicing law. If some one had even whispered such an idea about the Filipino, Bryan would have made the earth resound with his indignant declamations against the outrage. The decision of the court of appeals in the McKinzie case is one of the most remarkable documents which to our knowledge ever emanated from a federal court. McKenzie seemed to be a kind of a side issue and Judge Noyes was the chief object of attack. The very idea of one court reviewing the work of another is revolting enough, but when that court uses its position to cast censure and contempt upon another it is high time that the people take notice. Hereafter people who are strongly tempted to take the law into their own hands will note with pleasure that the millionaires of Alaska were advised to practically ignore the federal court at Nome and in their might execute th law, or their view of it, and without the aid of Judge Noyes. What makes the offense of the court of appeals so much more inexcusable is the fact that the moneyed gang for whose aid the decision was rendered are not above reproach themselves. The Inter Ocean makes an extraordinary plea for the leimination of Rainier as applied to the mount, and the substitution of Tacoma. It appeals to the generosity of the people of Seattle on the grounds that Seattle has so far outstripped the City of Destiny that the latter is no longer a serious competitor. The people of Seattle have never seriously considered Tacoma a vigorous rival, but they would strenuously object to changing the name of the mountain simply to please Tacoma. Some of the chivalry of Atlanta last week made a bonfire of Ellis' school history of the United States. In the book, it seems, cuts were given of instruments used to torture slaves. Besides the author had neglected to view the war from a Southern or Confederate standpoint. Every citizen familiar with old-time plantations knows that such instruments were common, and in fact we have seen them with a few miles of the city of Atlanta. In the rice rice swamps they were in nearly every plantation. Municipal ownership, especially of street railways, is getting to be an issue in several large cities of the East and unless there is a change in the mode of conducting these public benefits, there will be a warm scoop before it is over. In Columbus, when the franchises were soon toopie, an ordinance extending them was passed after considerable time and discussion extending the franchises for twenty-five years. While it was pending the irrepressible Tom L. Johnson went to Columbus with an effort to take the franchise, and at the terms offered, and give a three-cent fare. He also proposed to give all over six per cent. on the investment in retiring capital to permit the city to own the property. In spite of these offers the council passed the ordinance extending the franchise, and thus made a basis for the April election. In Chicago there is not such a demand for municipal ownership as a reduction in fares. So far in this city we have not had much complaint to make at the companies, but there is an active minority who will use every endeavor to bring on the issue at the first sign of wavering in the ranks of those who oppose the issue. A few years ago every one-horse Democratic politician in the country was after the Chinese with the biggest bludgeon he could carry. But this is all changed. Since the massacre in China and the adoption of a firm policy toward the savages that were trying to murder the foreign ministers. It matters not that the administration is trying to prevent the disruption of the empire and has even been accused of being weak in its treatment of the rascals who have shown their murderous hands at every opportunity. This all goes for caught and the weeping Tellers, the boisterous Sulzers and the one and only Frank Pettigrew have tried to eclipse one another in their denunciation of the great "wrong" imposed upon the poor Chinaman. Even Mr. Wu has been familiarly patted upon the back because this great personage and his great pigtail refused to attend a banquet given by Gen. Otis because he had stopped their importation into the Philippines. If something is not done to check the old-time prejudices and traditions in the regular army it will not be long before we will be in a condition even worse than that alleged to exist in the British army. The promotion of Gen. Miles for lieutenant general is in line with this observation. Gen. Miles entered the army as a lieutenant in 1861, and through the influence of the Shermans soon gained the rank of major general. His record speaks for itself. But what we had most in mind was the jections raised to the promotion of Gen. Leonard Wood by the old fossils who object to preferment for merit. If our army is maintain its standing as a fighting machine merit should obtain advancement, even though it come from the men in the ranks. As it is, it is about as hard for a camel to go through the eye of a needle as it is for an enlisted man to work himself into a commission. In no other country in the world is there more disparity between officers and men than in our regular army. DO YOU TAKE THE HOME JOURNAL The Ladies' Home Journal is one of the best and most complete months published. And the fact of its being "ladies" does not signify that it is for women only, for it is complete with something for men, women and children, young and old. It contains reliable information and authority from the foremost writers on health hints, art, floraculture, the nursery, cookery, etiquette, housekeeping and a hundred other helpful hints that one might search a long time for and not find in a monthly magazine. The fashion plate is always up to date and well worth copying. Aside from all this, its story writers are of the best and the contributions are of a high order. Lately it has been running a series of picturesque views of America, which on account of the ample space on the large page, an advantage the Journal has over other magazines, are large, well cut and splendidly gotten up. It deserves a wide circulation here in the West, for while it is a far Eastern publication, it does not lose sight of the fact that there are good things to be found in the West as well, and during the last few months its views on the center page have been confined to the extreme West, as well as publishing now and then short stories from the pen of one of our best story writers on the Pacific coast, Mr. Joseph Blethen. ALBERT EDWARD IN BALT!MORE Democratic Way in Which a Military Captain Addressed Him. When the Prince of Wales made his tour of the United States in 1859 he visited Baltimore on his return from Richmond, Va., and was escorted from the Camden station to the Gilmour house by the city guards, then Baltimore's crack military organization. Col. Joe Warner, who commanded the guards, was a bluff old soldier, intensely American, with most pronounced democratic ideas, relates the Philadelphia Record. After the battalion reached the hotel Mayor Swann, who had the prince in charge, invited the officers into the hotel parlor to be introduced to his royal highness. Of course, Col. Warner was the first to be honored. Advancing toward the prince he grasped his outstretched hand, and giving it a vigorous shake, exclaimed: "Mr. Wales, I am very happy to make your acquaintance, sir." The officers of the guards stood aghast at this extreme cordiality on the part of their commander, and an amused expression came over the face of the prince; but giving the colonel as vigorous a shake as he had received, he good-humoredly expressed his pleasure at the compliment paid him. Upon the return of the guards to their armory Maj. Lloyd Parks, who entertained entirely different notions of etiquette from his colonel, took him to task for his brusqueness. Col. Joe listened in surprise at the rebuke of his subordinate, and when he had concluded he said: "See here, Lloyd, I took a liking to that young fellow; there's nothing of the aristocrat about him. Why, he doesn't wear a better hat than I do. He may be a prince in his own country, and maybe some day he'll be a king, but so long as he's in these United States he's Ed Wales and I'm Joe Warner." Fresh Water Springs in Midocene Several fresh water fountains are known to exist in the Gulf of Mexico, where vessels have frequently filled their casks with ice cold sweet water that comes up like a geyser in the midst of the salt water. The fresh water springs, as the sailors call them, have been known in the gulf for 200 or 300 years. They were discovered by early voyagers and were the salvation of many a mariner whose supply of fresh water ran short while his ship was becalmed in the doldrums. Some of the fresh water springs are marked upon the charts, but there is so little need of them nowadays by the steamers on the gulf and the sailing fleet is so small that no attention is paid to them, and they have passed out of the knowledge of the younger skipper.—Chicago Record. Four Kings and a Joker At the time of Col. Cody's advent into the capital of Germany the old Emperor William was entertaining there three kings of smaller Germanic powers. The royal gentlemen were very much interested in the Buffalo Bill exhibitions, and Col. Cody was the recipient of many favors from the emperor himself. One feature of the performance was the exhibition of the antiquated Deadwood coach containing passengers, who are attacked by Indians and finally rescued by cowboys. The kaiser asked to be allowed to ride in this vehicle with his royal guests and to participate in this interesting experience. The request was of course granted, and when the coach was furiously assailed by howling Indians its inmates were as usual saved by gallant cowboys. After it was over and as the royal party were descending from the coach, the emperor remarked: "Col. Cody, I do not suppose this is the first time that you have ever held four kings." "No, your majesty," returned the quick-witted scout, "but this is the first time I ever held four kings and a royal joker at the same time!"—San Francisco Evening Post. Senator Welty, who was attacked as a corporation man during the campaign, has proved himself a strong anti-corporation man* in the legislature.—Columbus Chronicle. That is generally the case, for a man that intends to accomplish anything in that line is not so keen to advertise his methods. The Everett Times has been sold to A. W. Bower and Eugene Lorton. Bower was formerly editor of the Sultan Journal that never had an excuse for existence. Mr. Lorton may make the Times a readable paper. Mr. Nation is mean enough to insinuate that his better half never displayed so much energy when there was a lot of unwashed dishes in the house.—Port Townsend Leader. He need not have made the insinuation, because every one who knew her knew that dish washing was not in her line. The tax levy which Centralia citizens have to pay for the year 1900 is 48 mills, county 20, city 18, school 10. Centralia is all right and so is the whole county when it comes to the matter of taxes. Still this city is piling up its debts at a marvelous rate. Last year the interest on its outstanding general fund warrants exceeded the principal paid off by a large sum the electric light fund is about $700 behind and the current expense fund away behind. If the city is not bonded and the old 10 and 8 per cent. warrants redeemed the city will be fairly swamped in a few years. This is no idle dream, but a fact. If we do not bond our levy must be largely increased for the coming year. Our debts must be paid, and the sooner the people realize the fact the better they will be off. A 30 mill tax is not pleasant to contemplate, but it is coming under the present conditions, and that very soon, too.—Centralia News. In another column the News advises homeseckers to come and view the attractions of Centralia. If the people can pay that rate of taxation and still make money, we believe with the News that Centralia is a good place in which to locate. But Centralia is not the only town which has a tax rate which almost amounts to confiscation. The wreck of the Rio de Janiero at the Golden Gate, with the appalling loss of life, was one of the saddest events of the new year on the Pacific coast. Some one must have been to blame, but who will probably never be found out. Nearly every town in Western Washington is reporting prosperous times and all would be in prime condition were it not for the load of debt piled up during the boom days, when every hamlet expected to be a second New York. The South African war made the politicians roar in the house of commons. England has her Pettigrews and Sulzers the same as the people of this country. 50 YEARS EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS &c.

Phone Green 182 The new legislative apportionment law gives King county twenty-five members of the next legislature out of a total of 136. Pierce county has fifteen members, which is two or three more than she is entitled to under the strict reading of the state constitution. There is no good reason for this discrimination, for the constitution plainly declares that the state shall be apportioned on the basis of population. Senator Wilshire is blamed by those who have watched proceedings at Olympia for the gratuity of two or three extra legislators to Pierce county. He had the committee with him, and allowed Senator Ed Hamilton of Tacoma to defeat the purpose of the committee bill by reason of his inability to cope with the Pierce county senator in a contest for points. With the committee behind him and the constitution of the state to back him up, Senator Wilshire made an ignominious surrender, for which he is quite likely to receive just punishment at the hands of the people of his district when he faces them at the next primaries, as it is his announced purpose to do. But, bad as the giving of two or three extra members of the legislature to Pierce county was, it was a virtuous act as compared with the scandalous presentation of two members of the house of representatives to the county of Jefferson. Nearly a dozen other counties with as much claim to two members of the house as Jefferson, are given only one member, and some of them have fifty per cent. more population. There is surely something rotten about this feature of the so-called Wilshire reapportionment bill, and it is bound to come out sooner or later. The only thing to be learned about it at Olympia is that it was brought about by the work of Senator Clapp and Secretary J. Will Lysons, of the Republican state committee. The county contains a mere handful of people, and the next senatorial election will probably show who are trying to put in their vest pocket. It is known that young Lysons has quietly threatened for several months past that unless Jefferson county was given two members of the house no reapportionment bill would be passed. It is said he kept this point in view during the whole campaign when he was in the state committee headquarters, and has worked on it all the time at Olympia during the present session. Senator Clapp is also one of the most notorious schemers in Jefferson county, and he and Lysons make a good pair to carry through an unprincipled job of this kind. Such work will injure the whole party, so that others, besides Senator Wilshire, are likely to suffer from it. Just watch Levi Ankeny's financial operations in the little county of Jefferson next time. Since George Piper's return from Mexico an effort has been made to hush up the talk about his political differences with Mayor Humes, but it is thought the relations between them are at least strained. Both of them are suspicious, and it is known that Humes has very little use for Piper. The only interest Piper has in Humes is that he considers the mayor a strong man in politics; he has said so repeatedly, and with the first evidence of Humes' waning popularity, Piper would look for a soft place to light. Humes, on the other hand, has often expressed a desire to rid himself of Piper's influence, but says he can't carry very well get rid of him without some plausible excuse. He has often said, however, in his most emphatic manner, that George Piper will never again have him "by the throat" as he once had. As time passes it becomes more and more apparent that it is the purpose of Judge Grosscup to utterly "break" George Piper politically in this state. Efforts have been made to patch matters up between these two men, but Grosscup expresses the utmost contempt for Piper, and says as fast as others learn Piper's true HOUSES AND LOTS FOR SALE AND TO LET WHALLEY & EASTMAN PHONE MAIN 611 5-6 COLMAN BLD.

Credit is given on terms to suit your convenience. character as well as he knows it, there will be very little room for Piper at the top of the Republican party's affairs in this state. Meanwhile Piper has fastened himself on to Ankeny more solidly than ever, so that it is now a case of sink or swim together with them. No matter what Ankeny's personal feelings may be about the wisdom of retaining Piper as his manager, so many of his secrets are known to Piper that only the latter's voluntary retirement could possibly sever their present relations. Another questionable feature of the reapportionment bill was the giving of a state senator to Cowlitz county, which was clearly a case of trying to present a vote to Levi Ankeny from that district. Dr. Sims, who was one of Ankeny's hirelings two years ago, is slated for the senatorial nomination from that district. He lives in Kelso, in Cowlitz, and owns a farm near that place. After voting for Ankeny as a member of the house two years ago, he returned home, it is said, and paid off a big mortgage on his farm, and later sent his daughter on a trip to the Paris exposition. He has been known as a poor man for years past, and yet he was able to do all this as a result of sixty days' service as member of the legislature at five dollars per day. Cowlitz county has scarcely half as many people as some other senatorial districts. As a result of Ben Grosseup's success in preventing any railroad legislation at Olympia during the present session, it is admitted that the Republican membership from Eastern Washington will be greatly reduced in the next legislature. While it is not at all likely that the Republicans will be in the minority, the majority will be very much reduced, and the Republicans are likely to have only a fair working majority. This will preclude the election of Levi Ankeny, for there are certain to be a big percentage of Republicans in the next legislature who will, if necessary, follow the Ankeny example and bolt the caucus rather than have him elected to the senate. The exposing of the Washington parks' political dives by the Post-Intelligence has caused a rattling of dry bones among the city officials whose duty it was to see that crime was suppressed wherever it existed. But the worst feature of the whole business is the fact that these dive-keepers existed with the full knowledge of the police, and the keepers paid their monthly fines to some one for being allowed to conduct their nefarious business unmolested. The police force has been added to from time to time until it is a bulky, unwieldy body for the size of the city. If the extra patrolmen had been selected on account of fitness there might have been some excuse for their existence, but any one who is familiar with the names of the last batch that was appointed would instantly suspect that Meredith's old employer was responsible for the appointment. There are some efficient officers who deserve praise for their work, but they are certainly not among these appointees. The man who practically spends all the money raised by the city is Engineer Thomson. He is not the man to understate his abilities, and it is said that any one less exalted than himself has a hard time in approaching this functionary. Tommy Bevan is now in his element, and his display of statesmanship will astonish the native denizens of the First ward. He can now stand in the corners of "Billy the Mug" and talk single tax with a show of authority. But one thing Tommy can not explain—how he came to fix up with Mayor Humes. He did not have to explain his position with Johnny Considine. It is very evident that the Ankeny push has taken some one into their confidence who is better posted on throwing dirt into the eyes of their foes. Every few weeks a ne wrumor is put in circulation about the dif- ferences of Mr. Ankeny and his chief lieutenants, but Mr. Piper and Paulhamus still hold the sack and dispense favors with the air of one in authority. It would not be safe to put away the manager from King county, because he could a tale unfold and probably would do, if he got his dander up. George was never known to let a little thing like honor stand in the way, if there was anything at stake. The public has received several times that the business in the land commissioner's office had been conducted more in the interest of its chief than for the people whom he was supposed to represent. When it is remembered that he meandered up and down the confines of the state making alleged speeches in which his opponents were denominated "thieves" and "skunks" is it any wonder that the promised revelations threatened to land him where he has repeatedly said every Republican should go? If the complaint of the State vs. Eugene E. Wager and Bridges is true, it only emphasizes the fact that the funny business al-years in King county, also extends to have existed in GKing leged to have existed for several county also extends wherever Mr. Bridges' authority existed. While investigating his other peculiar acts it would be well to look into the White river farm proposition. When that was done, it might be well to know why school lands within the city limits were leased to prominent single taxers at the nominal sum of $1 per acre. It is a pretty safe proposition to assume that men who are ready to demonstrate every man whom he does not particularly like a thief that he will bear watching. We have always contended for the rights of the Afro-American race at the balloting booth, believing that the race could not possibly reach a higher stage than the exercise of this constitutional guarantee, which in itself is the goal to which free men must aspire. But we are compelled to say that the race must have a solid commercial foundation upon which to build. A race, like an individual, cannot successfully reach the highest attainments unless it has a solid material foundation. The exercise of the much-coveted franchise by the race must be backed by a commercial career, which shall at once stamp the race as believing in the real, rather than in the superficial, in the fact that that "money makes the mare go," and that no people can be denied the right of franchise when that people is engaged in those pursuits in a larger measure, which go to make a people affluent. The opportunity offered to the Afro-American in the commercial world today is of such nature as to attract the attention of the bulk of the race. We should take advantage of it and engage in legitimate business. The young women and men who are coming out of the institutions for the education of the Afro-American must be taught that business is the foundation for any people and that they must begin to lay this foundation. Let them buy six apples for 5 cents and sell them for 10 cents; let them put a pack on their back and tramp from town to town and sell articles of merchandise; let them make these small ventures the basis for larger ventures. When we learn the lesson that the consumer cares not who or what the color of the producer is, then the question in greater measure will be nearer its solution. In putting forth this idea of commerce to our people, we do not for a moment think of abandoning our rights to vote and to enjoy such other privileges as inhere in citizenship; we are only setting forth the way by which we can more readily and largely enjoy those rights. The almighty dollar is the standard of American civilization, and the Afro-American must measure himself up to that standard.—Age (N. Y.) There would appear to be the impression among the colored people, at least in America, that London is a sort of black man's paradise; that there he enjoys immunity from insults, and is the acknowledged equal of anybody. The experience of any colored person who has resided in London, unless he succeeded in boxing himself away from public gaze, is a direct refutation of this. True, it may be argued that the better classes will treat a colored person with respect, especially when the col- ored person happens to be somebody—and comes properly accredited. But how insignificant is the number of this class compared with the thousands whom one must meet at every turn, and with whom the black face presents a target for insults of the coarsest kind. We have had the experience of being assailed on the streets during a recent visit—with Kruger, Joubert, and other epithets intended to insult—and this, too, frequently at the hands of people whose appearance at least would indicate respectability. We know colored men of culture and standing in London, some are law and medical students, and others whose interests demand their presence in that city, and whose daily experiences are such as have been related. These extracts from a recent letter by Mr. Peregrino, late of New York, should serve to emphasize the fact that this country is the proper place for men of color to make and win their fight for recognition. The sooner the idea of seeking another and better field is dropped the more rapid will our endeavors be crowned with success. The famous Ninth United States cavalry continues to add laurels to its already brilliant record. Recent advices from Southern Luzon say that a lieutenant and fifty men of the Ninth cavalry attacked a large body of insurgents near Gumobatan, in the province of Albay last Wednesday. After the battle forty-five dead insurgents were counted, together with many wounded. The only American casualty was the wounding of a sergeant. Eugene Burkin, a colored boy of 19 years, who lives over on Chicago's great west side, is the inventor of a rapid-fire gun, which he claims is the most effective weapon of its kind in the world, and is destined to throw the invention of Maxim and Nordenfelt, now in general use in the armaments of the world, into the scrap heap. Several experts who have seen the model of Burkin's gun pronounce it a marvel of ingenuity, and a terrible weapon. The boy is said to have refused an offer of $50,000 for his invention through motives of patriotism, he being desirous that the United States government should have the first opportunity to test and purchase the weapon. A Massachusetts couple in order to have a historic wedding married January, 1900, believing that the century begun at that time, but afterwards being convinced that the century did not begin until January 1901 they concluded to keep their marriage a secret until that time, which they successfully did, and were publicly married January, 1901. the beginning of the new century. According to a decision of the New York supreme court, if you are in a game of poker and lend money to another player with which to pay a gambling debt, you cannot collect the amount at law. It remains for Hoyle to accept the ruling.—Cheney Sentinel. Hoyle would never have made such a decision as that. By the way, you are all right as a paragrapher, because you always hit the nail on the head. Admiral Brown's Dog Story. Admiral George Brown is responsible for the following dog story which he related today: One of the admiral's friends, who lives near Illinois and Thirtieth streets, is the owner of a black and white setter, named Major McKinley, which the admiral has occasionally borrowed when going on hunting excursions. The dog was well fed at the Woodruff place home of Mr. Brown, and recently has left his own home two or three times to visit the admiral. This morning the dog, according to the admiral and street car employees, climbed on a south-bound Illinois street car at Thirtieth street, and down town transferred to an East Tenth street car, which took him to the admiral's home. Ordinarily, it is explained, conductors would not allow a dog to ride as a passenger, but Major McKinley had made the trip several times, either in company with his owner or Mr. Brown, and was known to the conductors.—Indianapolis News.

The production is under the management of Howard & Doyle, one of the best known managerial firms in the country. The company presenting it has been carefully selected for this one play, and embraces well known artists of ability. Nothing the equal of "Held by the Enemy" has been given to the public by an American author during the past twenty-five years. The story is so beautifully told, so natural and thoroughly interesting that people who witnessed it on former occasions will go to see it again. New special scenery will be a feature of the production. Of the few plays that are considered worthy of securing a place in modern literature, the people's and critics' favorite, "The Prisoner of Zenda," takes precedence over all other works of recent years, for its many commendable attributes tend to permit it to percolate into the archives of permanency, not only as a literary gem, but as the beacon light of that new school of writers of which Anthony Hope is certainly the high priest. In formulating the romantic and fascinating story, he has swept away the dead leaves from the pathway of literary progress and given to the world one of the most novel and unconventional tales ever conceived in the brain of man. The dramatization by Edward E. Rose, that eminent Englishman, has been equally as successful, and is today considered in the theatrical world one of the most valuable pieces of property before the public. The season's production is noteworthy in many respects, for it not only comes here with a cast of exceptional strength, but with the complete scenic investment and elaborate stage effects which characterized its phenomenal run at the Lyceum theater, New York City. The company is composed of several of the players of its former successful tour and others who are well known in stageland, prominent among whom are Vaughan Glaser, Ruth Adridge, Robert Conness, Helen Strickland, Geo. W. Lynch, Cecil Owen, Marion Daniels, Willis Page, etc. The scenery, costumes and effects are promised to eclipse in magnificence any former presentation of this popular and fascinating romance, and will be given at the Seattle theater Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings, March 3, 4 and 5. --- No character in the world is so complex and consequently so interesting as the Scotch. There is the most interesting combination of stability and volatility. No play in recent years has been so thoroughly Scotch as "The Little Minister," and certainly in no play that now comes to mind are so many interesting and amusing characters grouped. "The Little Minister" opens the spring season at the Grand Opera House for the week beginning March 10th. --- When will the time come when "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will lose its charm to the rising generation? Judging from its present freshness, its illuring powers will be perennial. There is something in the skillful combination of the pathetic and the humorous that never fails to fascinate, and the story that it tells of the suffering of the poor slaves appeals directly to the finest sensibilities of the human soul. Such plays are better than sermons. They point a moral and adorn a tale. They teach us lessons in thoughtfulness and charity. They impress on our minds the precepts of the Golden rule. Mrs. Stowe's book is one of the greatest books of literature, because it deals with questions of immeasurable human import, and the play itself is one of those simple masterpieces that can never die. If it does no more than to keep alive the memory of the rise and fall of one of the greatest iniquities that history deals with, it was not written in vain. The Ed F. Davis colossal Uncle Tom's Cabin Company will appear at the Grand Opera House all next week, begining Sunday afternoon. Sam Cohen is after the Totem gambling house.
