Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. VIII., NO. 26 Of Men and Things in the Public Mind. Theodore Roosevelt is a subject that is receiving a vast amount of consideration by the commentaries of this country in the press, in the pulpit and public lecture halls. The man who bears this name is a most remarkable man. Before he was 43 he was president of the United States, a feat never before accomplished by a citizen of the United States. The man from a public standpoint is not only an enigma, but he is likewise a curio. Instead of catering to the public's wishes he forces the public to cater to his, and commands the public to follow him. When he became president he had not yet dropped his youthful folies, yea, he seemed to have been nothing more than an overgrown boy, and he seemed to have never realized that mature manhood, with all of its attending responsibilities, was on him until he had been pronounced president of the United States a few hours after the lamented McKinley had passed away. Stepping as he did in one brief moment from the attire of a frolicsome youth into the garb of maturity, and that, too, with the grave duties of state attached, he was more to be pitted than praised, and though he has a will of his own, it required the prayful support of every good citizen of the United States to give him sufficient courage to bear up under the severe ordeal. He has now been president for nearly two months, and he seems to be equal to the emergency and handles the affairs of state with the case of the most expert politician. Truly is he the public wonder of the age. 一 It is interesting to note that the per capita of this country has reached high water mark in comparison to previous figures along this line. The per capita of the United States is now $28.72, which is higher by far than it has ever been before. There are at present over $2,246,300,542 in circulation in the United States, and the same is divided among the following kinds of currency: Gold coin $225,585,471 Gold certificates 231,658,656 Silver dollars 75,112,520 Silver certificates 441,810,357 Subsidiary silver 33,999,641 Treasury notes of 1890 418,934,654 National notes 328,513,023 National bank notes 351,674,524 In this connection it might not be out of place to speak of the gold and silver produced during the year 1900, which aggregated to $257,500,000 in full. Of this amount $79,171,000, or about one-third of the whole, is credited to our American mines. Australia is second on the list with a gold output for the year 1900 of $74,260,000. The silver output in the United States during the year 1900 aggregated in full to $35,741,000. Mexico ranks second on the list with an output of $35,611,400. --- Now that a settlement of the great steel strike is in sight and the same brought about by President Schwab, who is credited with drawing the princely salary of $250,000 per annum for acting as the company's chief executive, it might not be out of place to quote some figures showing the giganticness of the institution. It was permanently organized by J. Pierpont Morgan, the noted financier of New York, after Andrew Carnegie had decided to surrender his iron interest to the company. The new company was forced to pay to the various institutions which it absorbed the enormous sum of $1,130,000,000. The following is a list of the ten companies and corporations composing the United States Steel Corporation, with the capital valuations of each: The Carnegie Steel Company, $160,000,000; the Federal Steel Company, $99,745,000; the American Steel and Wire Company, $90,000,000; the National Tube Company, $80,000,000; the American Bridge Company, $70,000,000; the National Steel Company, $59,000,000; the American Sheet Steel Company $49,000,000; the Tin Plate Company, $46,325,000; the American Steel Hoop Company, $33,000,000 and the Lake Superior Consolidate Iron Mines (Rockefeller interests) $30,000,000. Total, approximately $717,070,000; capitalization of the Steel Corporation, $1,100,000,000. This great steel trust has proved money maker from the very outset and it is now piling up immense for tunes for all those interested in it. For the first three months that the company was in existence the profits for the company were $26,000,000, and if the same rate of profit is maintained for one year it means a 10 per cent. profit on the entire capitalization per annum. The labor unions have made a persistent fight against the company, but President Schwab seems to have been able to withstand their every onslaught and will doubtless come out winner in the end, and if the company would do the right thing by him they would increase his salary at least a hundred per cent. over what it is at present. 一 The work of the constitutional convention in Alabama has been ratified by the usual stereotyped 30,000 majority, which that state always reports in favor of the Democratic party after an election has been held. Perhaps of all the constitutional amendments that have been submitted to the people and ratified at the polls in the Southern states, with the view of disfranchising a number of its citizens, the suffrage amendment that has been ratified by Alabama is the most radical. If this amendment can stand the test of the courts, then the South need not hesitate in passing any kind of an amendment that it desires, to not only disfranchise black citizens but any class of citizens that doesn't wholly agree with the fastidious ideas of the Southern gentry. If the leading citizens of Alabama can disfranchise one class of citizens and be sustained in it by the courts, they can likewise disfranchise any other class that they might so desire, and will be sustained by the courts, and they can continue this until they have reduced the voting population to a select few, and thereby set up an oligarchy in a republic. If in turn congress does not disfranchise 75 per cent. of the citizens of Alabama, regardless of their color, it will not have been true to its constituents, and the individual members thereof will find when they will have returned to their constituents that they have by no means pleased them in their actions. Let congress which convenes early in December take speedy action towards reducing the number of representatives from the South and thereby help the Southern gentry to disfranchise its voters, and it will have done its duty well. Periodically one hears of the great improvements that are being made in fire fighting throughout the United States, and how the loss by fire, owing to these great improvements, has been reduced to a minimum in comparison to what it was a quarter of a century ago. The facts, however, do not bear out the statement, and for the benefit of the fire insurance companies the following figures are reproduced covering a period of three years, which shows The Seattle Republic, with this number, has commenced to run a series of interior views of a few of the prominent business offices of Seattle, a peep into the "bet" of the business world." The Golden Gate is located in the New York Block, fifth floor, fifth floor, and the building has returned to care for his many other interests, is succeeded by Professor Harry A. Morse, of Spokane, for a number of years clerk of the Board of County Commissioners. The firm will be Robinson & Morse, the former being too well known to need any introduction. This firm has adopted a new policy of offering the firm's commissioners will bear the most rigid investigation, and real estate that is positively a snap. ITEMS OF INTEREST A license of $25 is charged to all persons visiting Prince Edward Island as commercial travelers. The St. Louis wholesale houses are receiving Missouri apples now at the rate of 40,000 barrels per day. The first ship load of antimicrobial coal ever sent from America to Germany has just reached its destination. Dr. J. Warren Walker is the name of a Chicago physician who declares that he has discovered a sure cure for consumption. Abur Rahman, the former Ameer of Afghanistan, for years has employed Miss Lilas Hamilton, an English girl, as his regular physician. In the Southern tobacco factories there are over 5,000 colored workers employed who are members of the tobacco worker's union. The government of Saxony has just completed a map of the entire country, giving details regarding fertility, wines and other industries, at a cost of $1,000,000. A Hebrew colony secured 1,000,000 acres in the State of Sonoro, Mexico, and are going to establish themselves upon it at once. Dueling is no longer popular in Germany, and it is being roundly condemned by the newspapers of every shade and complexion of that country. The old Indian fort near Bloomington, Illinois, is the source of much archaeological discussion in that section of the country at present. Niagara, though not the highest waterfall in the world, holds the record for size. It is estimated that 32,000,000 tons of water rolls over the cliff every hour in the day. All of the German naval officers are now receiving instructions in wireless telegraphy, and in the future all ships in the navy will be equipped with wireless apparatus. The retail price of musk is $50 an ounce, $600 per pound, apothecary weight, or two and one-half times the value of pure gold twenty-four karats fine. Hanna Marchman, who was born in England in 1767, and spent forty-seven years in missionary work in India, is said to be the first woman missionary. Emperor William is said to be so wedded to the soldier life that he sleeps on the regulation camp bed such as officers use. He retires at 11 p. m., and is up and dressed soon after 5 a. m. There are at present thirty pulp mills and twenty-eight paper mills, with a total capacity of 2,165 tons of pulp and paper, in the state of Maine. The amount of capital invested is $300,000,000. These mills consume 350,000,000 feet of lumber annually. All printers know that the letter "e" is the most generally used letter in the alphabet. In a recent experiment it was found that in 1,000 letters "e" occurred 137 times in En- glish, 184 times in French, 145 times in Spanish and 178 times in German. Jane Toppan is the name of a professional nurse who is now being tried at Barnstable, Mass., for the murder of one woman and indirectly with the murder of six other persons. The greed for money seems to have been the motive that prompted Miss Toppan to commit her numerous crimes. The tip nuisance is said to be even worse in Germany than it is either in England or the United States. The servants in Germany expect tips from not only the household, but even from the guests who visit the house. If one accepts an invitation to visit at another's home, he is expected to tip the servants. The proposition from Australia to make a uniform postage rate of two cents for letters to all parts of the world has met the approval of Italy, Switzerland and Egypt and some South American republics. Germany flat-footedly opposes the proposition, while England, France, Russia and Australia want it referred to the next postal world's congress to be held in Rome in 1902. Geronimo, the famous Apache Indian, is now leading a quiet life at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and is said to be a very decent as well as good-behaved Indian. He is treated kindly by the officers at the fort and given all the privileges that are possible under the regulations. Geronimo draws $35 per month as a government scout. By selling fancy articles he earns about $2,000 per year trading with visitors at the fort NORTHWEST NOTES. Judge Hatch has decided the state pilot law unconstitutional. house in Dawson City, which is furnished with all modern conveniences, including electric light. C. H. Goddard has started a new weekly paper in Everett, Wash., and style it "the long felt want." Irish potatoes are being sold in Dawson City at present for sixteen cents per pound. Valuable opals have been found in mines along the Snake river, in Asotin county. The Continental hotel at Albany, Oregon, was totally destroyed by fire this week. It was valued at $5,000. Major H. J. Woodsey, dominion governor of the Northwest territory, has just completed a $35,000. The first colored man to commit suicide in the state this year was Gus Humphries, of Tacoma. M. M. Mattison has begun the publication of an eight-page weekly in Tacoma. Eight saloonkeepers have been arrested in Walla Walla for keeping their places of business open on Sunday.

It is estimated that the population of the Yukon territory at present is 20,000, with 3,000 in Dawson City. E. T. Kilbourne, one of the leading citizens of Chehalis, committed suicide last week by blowing out his brains. W. Abbot Lewis, the absconding Spokane attorney, has been captured in Denver and will be brought back to Spokane for trial. In and about Dawson City there are six saw mills and two planing mills, which furnish a sufficient amount of lumber to supply the markets thereabouts.

The Puyallup Citizen of this state is of the opinion that the colored brother is rapidly catching up, as a bank that he started in North Carolina has gone to smash just as easy as if it had been run by white financiers. There seems to be more truth than poetry in the statement, though jocularly stated. The Negro is rapidly partaking of the advanced ideas of the white race, and whatever the white man does, whether it be good or bad, there are always plenty among the colored race to follow his example. It therefore behooves the white race to set the very best example possible before the black race in order that good citizens may be made of them. From the Inter-Ocean it is learned that the colored race in and about Harrisburg, Illinois, has opened what they are pleased to term Cuba Libre Industrial School for colored pupils. The doors of the new institution will be thrown open about December 1st, and it will be shaped and patterned after the Tuskegee school so ably presided over by Prof. Booker T. Washington. It is perfectly right for the colored folk of this country to make every effort they possibly can to industrially educate the young of their race, but for them to load themselves down in an attempt to operate an industrial school for colored children only, in the state of Illinois or any other state north of the Mason and Dixon line, is absurd in the extreme. There is not an industrial school in the North, East or West that does not admit colored children on the same footings as it does white children, and for the colored folk to refuse such open invitations from the superior race, numerically, financially and otherwise, is both foolish and absurd. Send your children to schools that are already organized, and the extra amount of money that you have to spend on trying to establish new schools let it be placed in the hands of some board for the assistance of children not able to pay their ways in any kind of a school, and more common sense will thereby be shown. 一 The United Investment Company, a commercial enterprise of Chicago, owned and operated solely by colored men, and Pullman car porters at that, have decided to open a bank in connection with the big stores that they are already successfully operating in that city. Some years ago these porters put their moneys together and started a small grocery store, and their efforts were so successful that they branched out and opened up a dry goods store in connection, and the two have proved such a financial success that they now contemplate opening a bank as well, the real object and intentions of which can be learned from the president of the association, Mr. A. H. Edmunds, from the following interview in the Inter-Ocean: "We have formed this bank for the sole purpose of widening our business horizon, in the employ of the Pullman company and in the training of our employees by reason of natural ability and education should have opportunities open to them in other walks of life. It is my duty to make this bank a success." --- For This only. uits and Overcoats. We guarantee every garment must be perfect, or your money back if you want it. We are SATISFIED with a SMALL profit. TAILORING HOUSE opposite Northern Hotel. 一 In carrying out the policy mapped out by Henry C. Payne, a member of the national Republican committee, which policy was begun by the late lamented McKinley, one George R. Koester, a blatant-mouth mossback Democrat, has been appointed internal revenue collector for South Carolina. Koester was recommended by Senator McLaurin, who is undertaking to build up a white man's Republican party in the South. In the New York Age can be believed on this matter, this man Koester has participated in more than one lynching party in that section, in fact it is conceded that he was among the leaders that instituted the mobocratic spirit that is so common to the South, which succeeded in making Ben Tillman governor and subsequently United States senator. He did not agree with Bryan, and later he sided in the McLaurin-Tillman controversy with the former, and now he is to be rewarded for his high-handed treasonable acts by being appointed to the best federal position in the state. Although President Roosevelt has satisfied himself with Mr. Koester's lynching record and announces that the appointment will stand, nevertheless a bitter fight will be made on his confirmation in the United States senate with the view of knocking out the appointment. Prof. W. H. Council, it appears to the average newspaper man, is giving too much free advice as to the "only way of making good citizens out of the Negroes of this country." Prof. Council is an able educator, it must be admitted, and he is doing a good work in his own peculiar way, but he should let well enough alone. If he continues to dabble into things and discusses questions of which he knows nothing about, as he has recently done in discussing the Roosevelt-Washington dinner party. The Republician is of the opinion that he will injure the cause in which he himself is most vitally interested. The public is well aware of the fact that Southern colored educators and business men in general are compelled to a certain extent to cater to Southern sentiments and ideas, but there is no need of trying to force such sentiments on persons in the North, and for Prof. Council or Prof. Anyone to brand the acts of Northern white persons, who are endeavoring in their own peculiar way to help the black man of this country, as middlesome Matties, shows that they do not use the proper dissection in their criticism. The last census shows that the Negroes of this country are increasing in numbers at present as rapidly as they did during the days of slay- LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS The Canadian Bank of Commerce With which is anagamated The Bank of British Columbia Head Office, Toronto.

During the first decades of their freedom they did not use the proper discretion to protect their health and they died off very rapidly, but now they are bravely over that period and are using for the most part the same precaution as do the whites to protect and preserve their lives, and they are showing the same longevity of life. It is to be hoped that this will be improved upon during the present decade, and when the 1910 census will have been taken it will show greater increase than at present. NORTHWEST NOTES The property of the Skamania Logging Company has been sold to the Lacamas Paper Mills Company. The cash consideration for the same was $30,000. Counterfeit five and ten-dollar gold pieces are now being circulated in the Northwest near the border line between the United States and British Columbia. The towns of Whatcom and Fairhaven have built so close to each other that it is impossible to tell where the one stops and the other begins. Consolidation is inevitable. The state treasurer has called for warrants No. 79,965 to 80,872 inclusive, on the general fund, and the same will be paid on presentation after November 25th. The amount of the call is $106,741.44 There is still a vast amount of government land open for home-steading in Lincoln county, and if these lands are properly irrigated they are among the most productive lands in the state. There are 250 men employed in the manufacture of jute fabrics, hop cloth, matting, wool bags and burlap in the state penitentiary, and during the past year 1,300,000 sacks have been turned out. There are at present 415 prisoners in the Walla Walla penitentiary. Of this number seven are women, three of whom are colored. Two of the women are in for murder, four for grand larceny and one for receiving stolen goods. Burgary, forgery and manslaughter are the chief charges heading a list of thirty-six possible crimes. During the year just past there were 1,388 mineral and mill-right patents issued, embracing 2,772 claims and containing an area of 50,852.46 acres, being 8,459.93 acres more than was patented last year, although there was twenty-seven less patents issued. This means that the claims were patented in groups to a larger extent than formerly.—Public Land. Established May, 1884. OFFICE 714 THIRD AVENUE. H. R.

In speaking about Ben Tillman the P-I, laconically refers to him as an "uncouth savage." That is a description of the man from A to zed. The young white woman who married the young black man in Tacoma is charged with being subject to epileptic fits. Yes, and they seem to be of the black kind at that. If a burglar can be murdered, the one killed at the depot last Monday evening was cold-bloodedly murdered by men who had been watching for the opportunity for almost a whole week. A correspondent of an Eastern paper is of the opinion that Mr. Roosevelt is a real gentleman. Just what name he would apply to the other presidents is what perplexes us just now. It must have given Rev. Damon, the Seattle divine marrier, the all-overs to have not gotten an opportunity to wed the two children that eloped from Seattle and were married at Everett a few days ago. The state of Delaware isn't losing very much without having a United States senator in the senate, because it hasn't very much to represent, and a memBER of the lower house can represent it in both branches just as well as two senators could. The Fifty-seventh congress will be ushered into existence Monday, December 2d, when the lay citizens will have another opportunity to learn from the members of congress themselves that each and every one of them are great men. Even Germany is now sorely troubled over the servant girl question. Perhaps so many American families have secured German girls for housework explains Germany's awkward predicament in this particular. There is no particular need for the coming congress modifying the present tariff law, but there is an urgent need in it cutting down the number of representatives from the South. European war clouds seem to have completely blown over. Russia and Japan are about to smoke the pipe of peace. Turkey has prostrated itself before France, and all the other powers seem to be at perfect peace with each other at present. Governor Rogers, in conformity with the national Thanksgiving proclamation, has also designated November 28th as a day of thanksgiving and holiday for the citizens of this state. Ireland, instead of gaining absolute independence, has so far lost national identity to the extent that in the future Edward VII. is to be styled King of Britain and British dominions beyond the sea, Emperor of India, with no reference whatever to Ireland. When the general missionary committee of the M. E. church allowed 57 per cent. of its missionary appropriations for foreign missions and but 43 per cent. for home missions it must have overlooked the fact that the South is much more in need of Christian missionary work than is darkest Africa at present. It is a "coughing up" instead of a "sneezing at" that provides commodious quarters for the Seattle Standard, thinks the editor of that Democratic weakly. Well, neighbor, it ocratic weekly. Well, neighbor, it doesn't matter how you put it, just so you manage to pay your rent and continue in your favorable quarters. Perhaps Senator Lodge is quite correct in his belief that the United States needs a strong navy to guarantee peace, but he might have carried his reasoning a bit further and said that the United States should kill off all other nations in order to have perpetual peace. --- Selling oil stock is causing quite a flurry in the stock markets of the East, and millions of dollars are being invested in the same. Just how long it will be before another great oil trust will be reported depends solely upon the length of time it takes the manipulators to freeze out the small purchasers. Let every good citizen of this city prepare to vote to raise the saloon license to $1,000 per year, and for twice that much if the city council can only be induced to pass an ordinance to that effect. If we must have saloons and their attending vices, let's make them pay dearly for the luxury. In Maryland's attempt to disfranchise a part of her citizens it has woven a web about herself which promises to require the best legal talent in the country to unravel. Whether the Democrats or the Republicans have won in Maryland is a question not easily answered at this time. Boss Croker must now realize that to be hit with a football of decency is the most dangerous blow of all. South Carolina's Inter-state and West Indies Exposition may be a gigantic affair, but owing to the fact that it is in South Carolina, the home of that monstrosity Tillman, it is attracting but little attention throughout the country. According to a news item Nebraska is badly troubled at present with a rabbit plague. First one calamity and then another befalls poor old Nebraska. But a few years ago and it was sorely troubled with the Billy Bryan plague, now it's a rabbit plague, and God knows what kind of a plague it will next be troubled with. And now comes Colonel Patrick Henry Winston, the veritable political acrobat of this state, and threatens to start a Sunday paper in Spokane with the view of advocating a graduated scale of wealth, the maximum of which no man is to exceed. Evidently Colonel Patrick hasn't been getting his share here of late, and this accounts for him having an itching palm for what the other fellow has. The Tacoma News deplores the intention of the Christian Endeavor societies of this city entering municipal politics. If the News had to contend with some of the forms of running politics in this city it would perhaps do just as the most of us are doing over here—hail with delight the intention of any kind of a Christian society to enter municipal policies to help purify the moral atmosphere of our much beloved city. --- Things that were not developed nor brought out during the Considine trial promise in the near future to make interesting reading matter for the general public. That there was a deliberate and cold-blooded intention on the part of some connected with the case to prevent certain facts from being brought out is now quite apparent, and The Republican promises its readers to give them the benefit of such suppressed news at an early date. --- It won't be many months now before the Danish West India Islands will be United States possessions, which, from an international standpoint, will give the United States a Gibraltar of her own in the Atlantic ocean. England is the undisputed possessor of the Gibraltar of Europe, but with the Danish West India Islands under the stars and stripes the United States will hold the Gibraltar to all the North American continent, and will be able to do so in defiance of combined Europe. No wonder that the governor of Indiana continues to refuse to surrender up ex-Governor Taylor of Kentucky to the authorities of the state of Kentucky to be tried as an accessory before the fact for the Goebel murder, for, as has been previously said in these columns, those people are not sufficiently civilized to warrant the return of any man into the hands of the Kentucky authorities, especially when there is partisan feelings against such men. Speaking about crime in Kentucky, Rev J. Kinssey, of Louisville, recently said: "With a population of 200,000, Louisville has more murderers than London with a population of 7,000,000, and that Kentucky with a population of 2,000,000 has more murderers annually than Great Britain with 40,000,000." These are startling figures, but they must be true, as they come from a Kentuckian and one who is interested in the state. It is plain to be seen from these figures that it would not be wise for any governor to honor the request of the governor of Kentucky for the return of any man charged with crime, as there seems to be no civilization in the state which would guarantee him a fair and impartial trial.

You and each of you will be confronted with the argitment that to vote such a license will be creating a monoply for the wealthy, but that is elaptrap and will not bear investigation. ‘The idea of raising the saloon license is to lessen the number of places of vice in this city and to drive that class of men out of business who use their saloons, not only for the damnable purpose of dispensing fire water, but likewise for a rendezvous in which the unwary are entrapped and ruined. ‘These men to some ex- tent will be driven out of business by this inerease of license, and the Pie-maker truly hopes that every good citizen in the city will vote for this raise without a dissenting voice or vote. In two weeks more the various municipal elections of the state will be held, and while polities has been lost sight of in most of the cities, yet it is to be found bobbing up here and there in many of them. Gener- ally speaking, the citizens in the va- rious corporated towns of this staie, which vote in December for municipal officers, is pretty free from polities, and they are giving much evidence of wanting to vote for the best men without regard to his past political affiliations, which is rightand proper. Owing to the vas amount Ofeorruption that is creep. ing into the Wfaizs of large and small cities of tht is absolutely necessary, for the citizens to support non-par- tisan tickets, and when one adminis tration does not do the right thing turn it out just as speedily as it was turned in, and if this is done for a few years viee and corruption in municipal affairs will vanish from the scene completely. It is said on the very best of authority that mu. nicipal corruption in the United States is almost a rule, while mu- nicipal honesty is the exception. Like persons who seek to be elected to the various law-making bodies of this country, the salary attached thereto is a mere bagatelle, so it is with persons seeking municipal honors. It is what they will make out of the proposition while acting as a representative of their con- stituents through the sale of their votes and by permitting themselves to be bribed and bought over by men who are the agents and tools of capi- talists and corporations. While the municipal officials of Seattle are not charged with having sold out to any of the gigantic cor- porations herein, nevertheless they are charged with having sold them- selves out to the gambling fraternity, which has operated in this city ever since the Tom Humes administration has been in existence. For the priv- ilege of plying their nefarious work in the city they are charged with having paid the administration vast sums of money. If this be true it is just as bad and even worse than if they had sold themselves to corpora- tions, for the community would have gotten some good out of the im: provements made by the latter UR Winter Supply of Nuts, Raisins, ie ces oes ter tae appearance.

The ‘Tom Humes administration is ‘one that Seattle should hope to never see repeated, and other cities should take warning from what has hap- pened in this city and nip any move- ment in that direction in the bud. Tt perhaps has not been quite so cor: rupt as was Tammany Hall and the Croker administration in Greater New York, but God knows it has heen corrupt enough, and Seattle shonld see that it is never repeated. Life, from a police standpoint in Seattle, is rather cheap in. compari- son to a few dollars that arc being guarded. ‘There seems to haye been no excuse whatever for the police officers shooting the would-be burglar atthe Northern Pacifie depot last Mon- day evening, save and except that if they had called on him to sur- render he might have slipped away and prevented himself from being captured. Rather than tose their prey it wonld appear that the officers deliberately shot the man dead and then captured him. No law-makers have ever as yet felt called upon to make it a death penalty for a man who commits a burglary, and it does not seem that such extreme measures were necessary in this ease, even though done by a Seattle police- man. Any noise would have de- terred that man from his purpose, and certainly there were enough policemen in the city to have sur- rounded his hiding place and cap- tured him before he could have es- caped; but no, the insatiate lust for blood was paramount with the policemen, and rather than take any chanees of the man eseaping, he was shot dead while he was in an almost Helatnes condition. ‘The little evening twinkler ha: tried to successfully ape Yellow Journalistic Hearst, and in its at To-F0 it has in many case flagrantly and maliciously lied, 1 hgs Hearst.

Ex-Governor Knapp and one E. H.Wellswere locked up in the stand- pipe on Queen Anne hill last Sunday by three young men and held for ransom, While the two men were ‘on a scenting tour, evidently trying to find something to kick about, they got caught in a trap which they were trying to set for some one else. ‘The young brigands failed to get the desired ransom, and perhaps the only reason they did not get it was because neither one of the would-be municipal detectives had suificient funds to pay the required ransom, After being confined in their wnex- pected prison cell for a few hours they succeeded in finding a pick, with which they extricated them: selves from their rather laughable predicament after many hard blows. ‘Dhe Pie-maker is of the opinion that the boys really did not want the ran- som, but were simply giving the men a dose of their own medicine, and didewhat they did more m a spirit o} fun than from a criminal standpoint however, warrants were- sworn oui for the boys, and they have been ar rested and will he tried on a charg of locking up the sleuths for the pur. pose of demanding ransom from thom. Madam Rumor has it that Ben Grosscup is to soon lose his official head in connection with the North- ern Pacific. No one has as yet been mentioned as his successor in case he is removed, but the authority ‘which prompts this paragraph says “that there is no doubt but that the hew management will give Mr. Grosscup a leave of absence within the next few months which will ex- tend indefinitely. Perhaps there are other” streets and sidewalks more filthy and re- pulsive to look at as well as walk upon as Western avenue, but the Pie-amaker is of the opinion that they do not exist in’ the United States. The greater part of Western ayenue reeks with filth, and for the most part of the” day it is impassable to pedestrians. Some- thing should he done by the city authorities toward cleansing that street up. ‘There is no more reason for the sidewalks being cov- ered half an inch deep with mud and filth on Western avenue than there is for the sidewalks to be like. wise covered on First and Second avenues. Western avenue should be put in as desirable a condition as any other street, and the Pie-maker hopes that the sireet commissioner will look after this matter ~~ delay. At most every council meeting that is held here of late there is om or two saloon petitions before it to act upon, which would seem to indi- cate that the saloon business is grow- ing more rapidly than any other form of business in the city. Tt is hardly fair for the memhers of the city council to grant so. many Ii censes to saloons to ply their nefari ous trade along our business thor oughfares. If we must have saloons, let's have thme in reason. One sa- loon to a block, it strikes the Pie- maker, is ample plenty, but when it comes to having three and fom saloons in one block, and that. all along Second avenwe, it is rushing things pretty hard, and some one should call a halt on granting so many licenses to persons to open up a new saloon almost in every other door.

Grau's world-famous opera company will begin a week's engagement at the Seattle Theater, commencing Sunday, November 24th, presenting the following repertoire: Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, "El Capitan"; Wednesday and Friday, "Dorothy"; Thanksgiving matinees and night, "Wang"; Saturday night, "Rip Van Winkle." A writer in the Washington Post relates that when Dewey's fleet sleeted into Manila bay to destroy Montejo's forces, the flagship Olympia steamed proudly out of Mir bay with her band playing the inspiring strains of the "El Capitan" march. When Manila surrendered to the United States forces the band of the British flagship offered melodious congratulations to Dewey with the "Stars and Stripes Forever" and "El Capitan" march. When "El Capitan" will be TOMMY presented in this city the public will have the opportunity of witnessing one of the most gorgeous scenic and costumed productions ever presented on the opera house stage. No organization traveling ever presented comic opera with such a magnificent production, and with a cast of such artists as Miss Mary Carrington, Miss Bessie Tannerhill, Miss Mamie Scott, Harry Davie, Robert Dunbar Robert Kane, Ed Eagelton and Stanly Felch. Laughter will presently hold both his sides and great tears will flow down his fat and merry cheeks, since the Black Patti Troubadours are to appear at the Third Avenue all next week, where they open on Sunday with a matinee. The Black Patti herself will positively appear in a new operatic kaleidoscope and a beautiful vocal creation called "Songs of Dixie," since there is no cheap No. 2 of this organization, and will discourse sweet music from her remarkable throat. Her managers have surrounded her with a great aggregation of mirth-provoking crow and chocolate-colored cake walkers dancers and Merry Andrews. Among these will be discovered that inregible individual John Rucker superbundant of the colored joke factory and director general of the mint of melody. With John Rucker laughter is the paramount issue of this theatrical campaign. The new skirt for this year, with all new costumes and scenery, is called "A Filippo Mis-Fit," and is a roaringly fun concoction. 一 Manager Charles H. Yale says the "Devil's Auction" is the best paying piece of theatrical property in America, and gives the following reasons to substantiate the claim: First, it has been on the road continually for nineteen seasons. Second, it has always pleased its many thousands of patrons throughout the country. Third, it has always been kept up to the times with novelties and innovations, making it each season a new show, simply retaining the old name as a trade-mark. Fourth, it has never presented anything to offend, and caters to the ladies and children. Sixth, the theater-going public are always sure of enjoying a pleasant evening's entertainment and seeing what the management advertises. The one reason why everybody should see it this year is that the twentieth edition of "The Devil's Auction" is now in its entirety. Manager Cort, of the Grand, has booked it for four nights, beginning Monday next. PERSONAL L. H. Creecy, a "sawdust-colored Afro-American," who claims to hail from Dawson, has left the city and all Seattle colored citizens can give a sigh of relief. While here he drank intemperately of goats' milk, hence he was continually "butting" into places where he was not desired or welcome, even the vulgar display of his money did not make him a welcome guest. It is hoped that when Mr. Creecy visits Seattle again he will take a new tack and remember that there are other people of his race who have comfortable bank accounts. Seattle people are ever ready to extend an open hand to visitors, but when one comes to this city and proclaims that "I am It," a general invitation is extended to that persons to "go way back," and, if they can find a chair that "ain't working," they can make use of it. The Considine trial, which has occupied the attention of Judge Emery for nearly three weeks, has been the topic of general conversation among the citizens of Seattle, and verily, of the state, of Washington ever since it first begun. The prosecution made a flat failure in its attempt to back up its charge of murder in the first degree against both of the Considines. The evidence was all in by Monday night and the arguments in the case began in the foremen of Tuesday. All of the attorneys spoke at length in the case, the judge having placed no limit on the time they were to have to address the jury. Mr. Morris made a masterly speech in defence of his client and Mr. Hart did equally well from an oratorical standpoint for the prosecution. William Seaton, the South Seattle murderer, is rapidly nearing his end. The supreme court having refused to reverse the decision of the superior court, and Gov. Rogers having refused to interfere, the death warrant will soon be signed and he will be a swift subject for the gallows. When Seaton will have been hanged, it will be the last hanging that will take place in this or any other county of the state, as the legislature passed a law making it obligatory on the part of the sheriffs of the various counties of the state to take all persons who have been convicted of murder in the first degree to the state penitentiary at once, where, at the proper time, they will be legally hanged. "Fixing" witnesses so that they will testify to the best advantage of an attorney and his accused client is bad business just now in the Queen city. But a few days ago a man was found guilty of this crime and given a two years' sentence in the state penitentiary for the same, and now Robert Allen, a young attorney recently from Spokane, is confined in the county jail on a similar charge. He had his preliminary hearing before Judge Cann and was held to the superior court in $500 bonds, which he was unable to give, and he now rests in durance vile until he gets a final hearing before the criminal court. This column will now be under the personal supervision of J. H. Ryan. All matter of local interest must be in on or before Wednesday of each week. Ring up Main 305 and phone matters of interest to this office, pertaining to social happenings. The exercises at the Evergreen Literary Society on Wednesday evening, November 20th, were without doubt the best that have been held for "many moons." Messrs. O'Brien and Duncan were unusually strong in their recitations, and encore after encore proved the appreciative mood of a large and intelligent audience. Owing to the incompleteness of the Evergreen Literary Society's Thanksgiving programme, The Republican regrets to say it cannot produce it for the benefit of its many readers. Suffice it to say that Mr. J. T. Cragwell is putting forth his best efforts. Miss Threat is to be the piano accompanist. Mrs. Fountain will have charge of the dinner from 3 p. m. to 8 p. m. A copy of the "menu" has not been seen, but Mrs. Fountain never does things by halves. The citizens of Seattle were shocked over the death of R. C. Stevens, local agent for the Great Northern in this city, which sad event took place last Saturday. Mr. Stevens was well and favorably known by every business man in the city and stood high in railroad circles. He has been with the Great Northern in this city for a number of years, and his place will be filled with much difficulty. Mr. Gouldbourough and Mrs. Washington have retired from the Issaqsh restaurant. It is to be hoped that the place will now be conducted on business principles. The time is now passed in this city that "any old place can get the money." The resignation of J. F. Cragwell as chairman of the programme committee of the Evergreen Literary Society, was unceremoniously rejected. The members of the society seem to know a good thing when they have it. Washington Lodge, No. 49, F. and A. M., will give a public installation and grand ball at the G. A. R. hall, Collins block, December 24th. The committee has spared no pains to make this their initial ball the event of the season. Mrs. I. M. Sally, who has been confined in the General hospital for the past four weeks, has sufficiently recovered to be able to leave the hospital and take rooms with a private family. She is at 1223 Seventh avenue. If you will read The Republican you will get all the news.
