Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. VIII. NO. 32 IN BLACK Under Critical Eye of Observing Men. At the beginning of the year 1902 The Republican feels inclined to enumerate the Afro-Americans in Seattle who are endearing to do business from a commercial standpoint. It will be remembered that Seattle all told has not to exceed 1,000 colored men, but comparing them with other cities in the East as well as in the West, they are making a most creditable showing from a business standpoint. Seattle has three attorneys at law, each of whom is doing a very lucrative business and enjoys a practice almost wholly among the Caucasian race. J. P. Ball, who confines his practice to civil matters wholly, probably has the most extensive business of the three attorneys, even though he perhaps does not realize as much cash out of it. Mr. Ball has been practicing before the courts of this state for the past five years and has built up an enormous civil practice, and The Republican has been informed that he has never yet had a single colored client, though by no means averse to them, only they do not seem to have the kind of law business that he practices. J. E. Hawkins, who was admitted to the bar in Seattle, having studied law at odd times while he was conducting a barber business in this city, has proved himself a most excellent type of a self-made man. While he does not refuse civil cases, his practice for the most part is confined to criminal work, and he has a most excellent run of such work. It can safely be said that Mr. Hawkins is successful in getting his hands on more ready money than any lawyer in the city, regardless of his color or nationality, who would come under his class. He has a clientage that always hunts for Hawkins when they are in trouble, and it seems that no man can get them out of their trouble as readily as can Mr. Hawkins. Andrew R. Black is the name of a rising young attorney that cast his lot in Seattle a few months ago after he had completed his legal education in Howard University, Washington, D.C. For a few months Mr. Black shared office quarters with Mr. Hawkins, but he expanded so rapidly in the legal business that he has decided to go it alone, and has fitted himself up nice quarters in the Pacific block, where he is doing a splendid business for a young attorney just starting out. Mr. Black is inclined to civil practice, but for the present he is taking any kind of legal business that comes his way, which any young attorney must do that has just begun to make a reputation for himself, without money, friends or means. Mr. Black, unlike the other two attorneys, was practically a stranger in a strange land when he started out, but he has demonstrated that the old adage, "what man has done, man can do," is still applicable to the plucky young man. Dr. Samuel Burdett, a retired veterinary surgeon who for a time followed his profession in the city, has about completely given up the same, but still he takes pride in subcribing "V. S." after his signature. It has been learned that Dr. Burdett was the only colored man that has ever been given a commission as veterinary surgeon in the United States army, and he is quite proud of that fact. At present Dr. Burdett is associated with John W. Gibson in an enterprise which has for its object the running down of persons who are guilty of lynching men and especially colored men. "Ball & Sons" is the sign on a window facing First avenue, which means that Mrs. Laura Ball and her sons are conducting a photograph business. This business has been under Mrs. Ball's immediate supervision for the past five years, and no photographers in the city enjoy a more lucrative business than she. Mrs. Ball understands the business thoroughly, and what she does not understand both her husband and her father-in-law, who are veterans in the business, are ready to give her any instructions that she might desire along that line. The Republican is pleased to note in this connection that R. W. Butler is a well-known builder and contractor of this city and has been for the past six years or more, and during all of that time has done a most excellent business. Mr. Butler has erected some of as handsome buildings in this city as have been erected by any contractor. He always finds plenty of work to do, and even when work was a bit scarce Mr. Butler had plenty of calls. He stands well with a number of large concerns in this city, who always give him their work without questioning his price, though it can be said of him that he never overcharges for his work, even though he does it before a price has been agreed upon. Along this line the name of C H. Harvey must not be overlooked, as he is one of Seattle's foremost painters, paper hangers and decorators. Mr. Harvey generally has a crew of from fifteen to twenty men at work the year around, and he claims that he could work every day in the week, including Sundays, if he would do so. Mr. Harvey learned his trade in the East and he learned it well, and wherever he works one time, if that person needs work again they employ him. Owing to the fact that this city is in the midst of a great building boom, Mr. Harvey has more calls than he is able to fill, and he generally has contracts from one to three months ahead. Recently William Jackson concluded to enter the plumbing business on his own hook. For the past four years he has been employed by a well-known firm of this city and has commanded the usual salary paid to plumbers, notwithstanding the fact that he is not a member of the union of this city. As a contractor in the plumbing and gas fitting business Mr. Jackson is promised the support of a number of the business concerns, and as he has the ability to rustle he will come pretty nearly getting business, even though he has not been promised it by any one. Seattle, as most every other city in the United States, has a number of colored men engaged in the barber business, but it seems that J. F. Cragwell has discovered a secret in the business that few other colored men in the United States have. Mr. Cragwell owns two large shops in this city and is interested in a third, and these two shops are both in the leading hotels of the city, and the receipts from them are almost fabulous from a barber standpoint. It is estimated that Mr. Cragwell clears in the neighborhood of $1,000 per month on his investments, and the principal part of this money he is investing in real estate and other safe propositions in and about Seattle. Among the old-timers of Seattle is the name of R. L. Dixon, who has conducted a barber business here for many, many years. Mr. Dixon has a trade that stays with him year in and year out. Among the old-timers they all want "Bob" to shave them, and they go to him and wait until he gets ready to wait upon them. It can be said of Mr. Dixon that he has done well in the business and that he is doing well now, and that he is one of Seattle's most reliable as well as trustworthy men, regardless of color or nationality. Tiring of railroading, W. H. Henderson came to Seattle and launched out into the barber business. He has been at it now for nearly three years and has always done well. Henderson is generally liked, quite popular, and whenever he opens up a shop the boys all come to him. He's a friend of the railroad men and the railroad boys get him to do their work, hence Henderson is doing well. The colored men of Seattle are right thankful that Frank T. Anderson decided to open a shop in Seattle and not go East, as he thought of doing some months ago. Mr. Anderson is a most excellent workman and has a splendid trade. He has done fairly well since he begun the business, for when he started he was compelled to borrow money to pay his first month's rent and get other things that were needed in the shop, but since then he has done so well in the business that he has been able to buy him a home at Green Lake, and is slowly but surely improving it and making a nice place for himself and family. Tutt & Wilson are the proprietors of a neat barber shop near the union depot, and there is no doubt but that they have always had a lucrative patronage. Both B. F. Tutt and Wm. Wilson are affable young men, and they naturally draw trade their way. The partners are to be congratulated in the success they have had since they first opened up some three years ago. Hot Springs, has made him head waiter over his house by proxy. He furnishes all of the help for both of the houses, and is successful to a degree at his business. Caterer John T. Gayton, who is steward of the Rainier Club, is a prince in his line. It can be said of Mr. Gayton, without fear of successful contradiction, that he has charge of more parties and entertainments among the "400" of this city than all of the other caterers, either white or black, combined. For the most part he is given absolute control of the eating part of the entertainments and he serves whatever he can fit. clerical po Merguson by his b pushed his year by l adapting Postmaster no more man in the Merguson, vorite amo the colored young men never rising fast. The total at the last Frank N. Harris is also the proprietor of a small shop in this city and is doing well, and the same can be said of William Orey, his son, and F. A. Perkins, who has a shop in the Hotel Diller. For many years past Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson has conducted a lodging house in Seattle. She did well in this business prior to the Klondike rush, but since that time she has done more than well and her rooms are always occupied, not a part of them, but all of them. Mrs. Anderson has been a resident of Seattle for nearly fourteen years, and during all that time she has conducted this business and made not only a living, but maintained her daughter for a part of the time at a boarding school. It would-be well for a number of colored men about town, who claim to have money in the bank, to emulate Mrs. Anderson's efforts in sticking to some business proposition. Among those business men with whom George Lyons had occasion to deal in making preparations to open up a restaurant they were astonished when he gave them his order. Seeing an opportunity, he bought out a small restaurant which had been conducted by a widow lady and converted it into a mammoth restaurant and cafe, where he feeds from 400 to 500 men every day. Mr. Lyons returned from Nome last fall and decided to go into business in Seattle, and the business men now know that he is in the business. The Republican has always maintained that some colored man would do well in the restaurant business here if he would only go at it on the right principle. There is still room for others, and if they will do as Mr. Lyons has done they will succeed from the very beginning. On the strength of Mr. Lyons doing business in this city a number of business houses have placed their advertisements in this paper, which prompts us to remark that in order for colored men to succeed in business they must do business on business principles, and the one will naturally help the other. It is a misaken idea for colored men to start in to do business for colored persons only, but start in with the view of doing business with business people, regardless of their color or nationality. This is the course that is being pursued by Mr. Lyons, and he is a most brilliant success. Many efforts have been made by colored men at various times to maintain a club where the railroad porters and the colored men about town could go and enjoy themselves as they saw fit, but all efforts along this line were failures until Frank Bellamay opened up such an institution. He not only has a club room, but he has a restaurant in connection and is doing a splendid business. Mr. Bellamay, like Mr. Lyons, is anxious that The Republican succeed, and he, too, has voluntarily consented to make it obligatory on the part of busines men with whom he deals to advertise their business in The Seattle Republican. It is such friendship or racial interests as this that makes a race of people, however weak they may have been, strong in every respect. Mr. Bellamay for years lived in Spokane, where he was well and favorably known, and the same is true of him in Seattle. Seattle has a number of tip-top, up-to-date caterers, and they have all the work in their line that they can do and even more. The head waiter of the Rainier-Grand, Thomas Woods, has held the position for the past four years, and though the house has frequently changed hands, Tom, as he is known among the guests, is a fixture. So successful has he been in that hotel that Dr. Klober, of Hot Springs, has made him head waiter over his house by proxy. He furnishes all of the help for both of the houses, and is successful to a degree at his business. Caterer John T. Gayton, who is steward of the Rainier Club, is a prince in his line. It can be said of Mr. Gayton, without fear of successful contradiction, that he has charge of more parties and entertainments among the "400" of this city than all of the other caterers, either white or black combined. For the most part he is given absolute control of the eating part of the entertainments and he serves whatever he sees fit. Ten years ago Mr. Gayton came to Seattle in capacity of a waiting boy with a private family, but he has steadily pushed to the front until he now stands par excellence among the leading business men of the city. The Rainier Club has had much trouble with its former stewards, but it reluctantly gave Mr. Gayton the stewardship, owing to the fact that it had never before employed a colored man in that capacity, but the trustees are pleased now, for they have never had a steward before in whom they could place so much confidence as they can and do in John T. Gayton. While The Republican must admit that Mr. Geo. Rideout has not seen as much service along the catering line as Mr. Gayton and Mr. Woods in this city, yet he bids fair to become equal to either of them in the business. Already Mr. Rideout's fame to serve dinner parties and entertainments where much care and attention must be given is becoming widespread, and he is getting many calls. Mr. Rideout, as said above, will wear well and will prove to be a most excellent man in the very, very near future, as he comes to Seattle from Montana with an enviable record along this line. One of Seattle's most reliable and trustworthy After Americans is Walter Washington, who has been Seattle's poundmaster for the past four years. He draws a regular policeman's salary besides other ways he has to make side money. Mr. Washington during the past year has been investing every dollar he could get hold of in Seattle realty, and New Year, 1902, found him the proud possessor of some valuable realty, free of incumbrance. No colored man in the Northwest has a better paying business than R. A. Clark, who is the proprietor of Clark's Special Delivery, which keeps six teams on the jump from 8 o'clock in the morning until about the same time in the evening. Mr. Clark is one of those men that has made himself a job, and he is staying by it. Such men are to be commended in the highest and terms, and the leading white men appreciate the spirit and ambition of such colored men and they will give them work in spite of what is said of their natural antipathy for the Negro race. The Republican would under no consideration in this brief review overlook that brilliant young man Walter Merguson, who holds a CRESCENT BAKING POWDER CRESCENT TRADE CRESCENT MARK BAKING POWDER The Most Modern and Up-To-Date Baking Powder Known Will do more and better work than any high priced cream tartar powder. clerical position in the postoffice. Merguson not only got this place by his brilliancy, but he has pushed himself up a notch every year by his tact and talent in adapting himself to his work. Postmaster Stewart says there is no more valuable and trustworthy man in the service than young Merguson, and he is a general favorite among the employees. When the colored race can produce such young men as Merguson it need never but that it's rising, and rising fast at that. The total population of France at the last general census, March 29, 1896, was 38,517,975. Five years later, or in March, 1901, the total population was 38,641,333, a gain of only 123,358. The total population was 38,343,192 in 1891, 38,218,903 in 1886, 37,672,048 in 1881, 36,905,788 in 1876, and 36,102,921 in 1872. In the first five years after the Franco-German war the increase in population in France was 802,867, and in the next five years 562,000. In the first five years after the war the increase of population in Germany was 1,668,888; in the next five years, 2,506,701; in 1885, 1,621,643, and in 1890, 2,558,686. The total population of Germany was 46,855,704 in 1885, 49,416,476 in 1890, and 56,345,014 in 1900, a gain in the last ten years of 6,928,538. In the same ten years France gained 297,141. Austria-Hungary reports a population of 46,900,835 in 1901, against a population of 41,245,000 in 1891, a gain of 5,655,835. Belgium, with its dense population, has 675,211 more people than ten years ago, or a total of 6,744,532. Denmark shows a gain in ten years of 262,106, Switzerland of 396,063. In the same ten years Bolivia, on the Western continent, has gained 60,000 in population and Brazil 2,167,000, while Uruguay has increased from 438,245 to 900,000. Among the great powers of the world France has increased in population in ten years from 38,342,948 to 38,641,333; Germany from 49,428,470 to 56,345,014; Great Britain from 38,104,975 to 41,454,219; the United States from 62,819,289 to 76,304,709. The Netherlands and colonies have an area of 736,400 square miles and a population of 34,000,000. Included in the French colonies are 1,684,000 square miles of the Sahara region. The Chinese empire is given an area of 4,234,919 square miles and a population of 399,680,000, and the Turkish empire an area of 1,115,046 square miles and a population of 24,931. LOCAL GLEANINGS Pointed Paragraphs of Local Importance. This column is under the supervision of J. H. Ryan. The year 1902 promises to eclipse the "old year," if the reception given by the Quid Nund Club New Year's night is to be taken as a criterion. The members of the club are indeed to be congratulated on this their initial reception. The place was all that could be desired, the charming home of Mrs. George Grosse was nicely decorated, red being the prevailing color. The dining room was cozily decorated, long strings of crepe paper were tied to the chandelier and brought prominously to the table, where dainty bows of the national colors held them in place. Dainty refreshments were served, the punch bowl being presided over by Miss Dixon. Prof. Harris rendered many choice scenes on the piano, while the guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the whist tables. If the example of the club is to be followed, ere the close of the year 1902 the recipient of an invitation to one of their affairs can truly "shake hands with themselves." Among the guests present were: Mr. and Mrs. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. S. Thorne, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hawkins, Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. John T. Gayton, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Rideout, Mr. and Mrs. John Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Tutt, Mrs. Harris, Miss Oliver, Miss Dixon, Miss Barbra Davis, Miss Strothers, Mr. Foot, Mr. Hayes, Mr. J. H. Ryan. A local paper publishes the following: "Six white bellboys in the Seattle hotel went out in a body yesterday because Manager Short employed two colored boys to sit on the bench with them. The young gentlemen who answer calls were more particular about their associations than President Roosevelt. Four more colored boys were promptly secured and the hotel is still running." And the next time the Seattle hotel is heard from it will "still be running." Manager Short knows a thing or two about conducting this well-known hostel, and when these young strikers get as old as Mr. Short, and as "wise" as they think they are now, they, too, may know a thing or two. There is one thing that can be said of the colored boys that supplanted them—they will not attempt to conduct the hotel. 000, or, including tributary states, Egypt and the Soudan, an area of 2,516,000 square miles and a population of 49,231,000. Mexico has increased in population in six years from 12,491,573 to 13,570,545; Italy in twenty years from 28,459,628 to 32,449,745; Australia in ten years from 3,183,237 to 3,777,221; Canada from 4,833,259 to 5,338,883.

He is now a member of the civil service beard of Seattle, which is the royal road to either the United States senate or the kingpin politician of Wash- ington. Goodson, the accused default- ing postmaster at South Park, says he is innocent, and we be- lieve the man’s statement simply because a detective says he is guilty. Generally speaking, the average detective is the most out- rageous liar on the face of the earth, For educational purposes dur- ing the year 1899, $55,000,000 were given by philanthropists. During the year 1900, $35,000,000 were given, but for the year 1901 the enormous sum of $75,000,000 were given. Eviderttly the phil- anthropists of this country are de- termined that the children shall be educated. From an Indianapolis paper it is learned that Hon. John L, Wil- son, of Spokane, talked about the state of Washington to the In dianapolis people in a most enter- taining manner one evening dur: ing the holidays. Jobn.L, as friends and foes alike call “him ont here, can do that thing tora queen's taste when he wants to. “In alt human probability I will be a candidate myself,” is an- nounced as coming direct from Hon, John L, Wilson in connec: tion with the United States sen- atorship from the state of Wash- ington. ‘This is the first direct an. nouncement from Mr. Wilson that he would be in the senatorial fight, though he has made the an- nouncement in a distant state, Doubtless Uncle Sam, with one foot on one side of the Andes mountains in Argentina and the other on the opposite side in Chili, may prove a success at peace: making between the two snarling republies for the time being at least, but most people believe he will ultimately fail and will have to lick the pair of them to. keep them quiet. General Miles, too, seems to be pestered with a presidential bee humming in his bonnet. Now, if he and Schley would draw straws for first and second places, and that being settled, take their troubles to old Granny Demoe- racy, she would doubiless give them as good a chance for the big game as she has in her shop, though this is not saying much for their presidential chances, | 2 ae A dispatch was sent out from Seattle December 2Ist, to the ef. feet that L. C. Gilman had re- turned from New York, where he had sold a group of copper mines to an English syndicate for $1,200,000. This probably ac- counts for his law partner shying his castor into the United States senatorial contest in this state. The firm could spend $200,000 in the contest and then have money to burn. Mrs, Stanford and Andrew Car- negie have been giving a good deal for educational — purposes here of late, but the public should not overlook the fact that, not- withstanding the many personal gifts made by Rockefeller for edu- cational and religious causes in the past, he made the University of Chicago a Christmas gift last week of $1,250,000, Rockefeller don’t go much on having his gifts paraded in the papers, but he gets there just the same. A Even the country papers of this state are catching onto the ent le spirit and are taking the right’ view of Seattle's push and phick, as will be seen from the following excerpt from the Ellensburg Cap- ital: “A gentleman well up in ex-| press lore made the astounding statement to The Capital this week that the yolume of express business transacted in the Seattle office exeeeded that of Portland, Tacoma and Spokane combined. This gives a fair idea of the busi- ness importance of the Queen City.” Hon. John R. Rogers was Wash: ington’s first governor to die while actually occupying _ the gubernatorial chair. On the whole Governor Rogers made a_ most commendable official, and his un- expected demise was a great shock to every citizen of the state, without regard to his or her polit ical affiliations. His remains were laid to rest at his former home, Puyallup, last Wednesday with all the pomp and grandness that the solemn occasion would per: mit, the entire citizenship of the state by representatives being present. Millionaire Scott, of San Fran cisco, who invited President Me- Kinley and his wife to partake of his hospitalities during their stay in that city when the Ohio was being launched last spring and then charged the committee $3,000 for their entertainment, must have felt like a dog in the face when he got snubbed by Washington City’s official society the other day while visiting at the national eapital.

Livingston B. Steadman for the position of corporation vounsel of this city. Mr. Stead- man will go before the next Re- publican convention asking its in- dorsement for the same. Two years ago he wasa candidate for the same place, but was beaten by Mr. Humphrey only because the people thought he was deserving of a second term. While there are other candidates announced for the same position, Mr, Stead- man believes that he has the in- side track and will sweep the con vention on the first ballot. The bar of this city has practically’ unanimously indorsed the eandi- dacy of Mr: Steadman, which is a strong card in his favor. It is gen- erally conceded by all with whom he has had business relations that he is thoroughly qualified for the position, and that it will be filled by him, should he reeeiye the nomination and be elected, with singular honor and ability. His career as a lawyer in this city has been a most successful one, and the class of legal business that he has mostly dealt with has been along the very same line as will The death of the late governor, John R. Rogers, has given polities in this state a sudden as well as unexpected impetus, and a hot old time from now until the next legislature has elected a United States senator will be the result. Prior to his death, owing to the fact that he was closely connected with Senator George Turner, the Republican factions had to keep an eye on him, lest by his political maneuyers, aided and abetted by Senator Turner, he would be sue- cessful in having George Turner re-elected. Now the entire scene has been shifted, and Senator Tur- ner is no longer considered a dan- gerous opponent to the Republi- can aspirants. With the state pat- ronage beyond his control Senator ‘Turner is already a defeated man, even though he should spend the allotted $150,000, which it has been given out that he had de- cided to spend in the coming eam- paign, not expecting the gover: nor’s death, Governor Rogers was a shrewd politician, and generally sneceeded in whatever he under- took, and for that reason the Re publicans of this state feared him, lest in their factional differences he would succeed in electing Tur- ner to another six years’ term in the United States Senate, which, to say the least, would have been deplorable. What is Governor McBride go- ing to do? is the oftasked ques- tion on the streets of Seattle since he has become governor of the state. Appointments made by Governor Rogers have not been confirmed by the senate, hence he can either withdraw their names or he can call an extra session of the legislature and have the ap- pointments acted upon, which, owing to the fact that both branches of the legislature are overwhelmingly Republican, would be promptly turned down. Tn such case it would turn the entire state patronage, which is enormous, ever to Governor Me: Bride and his friends, providing that he and they would desire to use it to further their own polit: ieal ends. Should either of these courses be pursued by the gover: nor, resulting in the refilling of the various state offices, he would have the following positions at his disposal for the serving of his political ende: Governor's private secretary, $1,500 salary; board of control, three members, $2,000 each; state librarian, $1,500; assistant state librarian, $800; coal mine inspee- tor, $1,500; grain inspector, $1,800; fish commissioner, $2,000; two deputy fish commissioners, $1,000 cach; labor commissioner, $1,800; horticultural commission. er, $1,000; dairy and food com missioner, $1,800; three deputy grain inspectors, $1,200 each; ad jutant general, $2,000; adjutant general's chief clerk, $1,000; sec retary board of control, $800; see: retary capitol commission, $1,200; superintendent Western Wash ington hospital, $1,800; superin tendent Eastern Washington hos pital, $1,800; two assistant phy sicians for insane, $1,500 each warden state penitentiary, $1,800. deputy warden state penitentiary $1,200; superintendent soldiers home, $1,250; superintendent o! school for defective youth, $1,500 3 the duties of corporation counsel lead him.

How much of this is true the Pie-maker is unable to say at this writing, but even if a part of it is true it is an unfortunate state of affairs, and it is here predicted that it will disrupt the Republican party ‘even worse than it has been since ‘it went to pieces some years ago, ‘and that is saying a good deal, if ‘such a political course is pursued. In speaking of the political sit- uation to a well-known attorney and federal official of this city, Hon, W. R. Gay, he was led to re- mark: “I do not believe that Gov. ernor McBride is going to be any man’s man from a United States senatorial standpoint. I believe that he is going to conduet the af- fairs of the office in a fair, square, legitimate way. I further believe he is going to be conservative and conduct the gubernatorial office just as he did his judicial office when he was judge in the North west, regardless of the fact that it is said that he favors the elee- tion of Harold Preston to the United States senate. 1 do not clieve that he will prostitute his office one way or the other for the election of either Mr, Preston, Mr Wilson or Mr, Ankeny. I consider Governor McBride ‘one of the most upright and conservative men, either politically or other wise, in the Northwest, and when ae term of office will have been completed three years from now you and every other fair-minded citizen will agree with me in this statement. Governor McBride i a Republican, and as said above I do not believe that he will con yert his office into a political head Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts from that famous institution of learning. He came to Seattle twelve years ago and was at once quarters for any factional ring for the purpose of getting his per- sonal friends into office.” “By jolly, Harold Preston may have spoken to that fellow visit- ing Seattle the other day, of which the Piemaker spoke, but my experience with him was quite the reverse,” said a well-known lawyer and ex-high official of this city one day this week. “Not many days ago I was on the street down town waiting for a car, and on the opposite side of the street stood Mr. Preston and some la- dies. I, being with my daughter, thought I would cross over and speak to him. As I approached he looked me square in the face, and I raised my hat in deference to his lady friends as well as my daughter, with whom I was, and, to my surprise, Mr, Preston delib- erately turned from me without even acknowledging the courtesy any more than if I had been a stump. Now, I am no banker, I admit, nor am I a corporation king, but 1 think I stand fairly well with the business men of this community and fair enough to be elected to a high oficial position in this city, and I have known Harold Preston ever since I have been in the city, and to be snubbed like that in the presence of ladies was a very unkind act. Of course, notwithstanding this, I will sup. port Mr. Preston for the United States senate, even to the extent of spending my own money; noth: ‘ing is more natural than this, and ‘I will not lose an opportunity to put ina kind word for him wher ever I hear his name discussed in this or any other city, for I am ‘built that way.” Reports come from the Third ward to the effect that A. Much- more has pulled out of the race for councilman-at-large and that Dave Bowen will be the candidate in his stead. For this concession A. Muchmore is to be boosted by Bowen and his friends for the legislature next fall. ‘This ar- rangement may be very agreeable as well as satisfactory to Bowen and Muchmore, but the Pie-maker is of the opinion that Dave will not have as smooth sailing for the nomination and election for coun- cilman as Muchmore would have. Bowen is a shrewd politician, but whether he is a popular politician remains to be seen. Councilman Benjamin, of the bloody Fifth ward, may pull the persimmon again, but if he does do so he will do it while suspend- ed for a brief moment between the devil and the deep sea, as there are others who are candi- dates for the same position, A great many of the citizens of the Fifth ward are not pleased with Mr. Benjamin’s work for the past two years, and they do not hesi- tate to speak their opinions on the subject. On the whole, how- ever, the Pie-maker is of the opin- ion that he has made a fairly good councilman, and perhaps would have made a much better one had he adopted one course and pur- sued it, either been for or against the wide-open administration. If he had been for it he would have stood a better chance towards be- ing reelected than he will. by having played between the two factions, uot supporting either one of them. A local paper claims that John L. Wilson has captured George U, Piper, and that in the future this political trickster is to wor- ship at the Wilson shrine. It fur- ther comments on this fact by saying flat “Wilson will find that he has bought a gold briek in George Piper.” Piper, the Pie maker must admit, is by no means a yaluable acquisition to any po- litical faction, but if he is not a THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN admitted to the bar to practice his profession, and he at once con- nected himself with Col, Haines. After the Colonel died he formed a partnership with E, C, Hughes and H. H. A, Hastings. From this partuership Mr. Hughes after- wards withdrew, and since that time the firm has been known as Hastings & Steadman. No firm in the city has been more gener: ally successful in the practice of the legal profession than has this firm, and Mr, Steadman has been the trial lawyer for the most part during its entire lifetime. They have confined their practice wholly to civil matters, and have proven themselves a’ complete success, Mr, Steadman makes no claim as to this or that ward or precinet supporting him, but he is asking the Republicans of the eity for the nomination and will work to that end. He is acknowledged as one of Seattle's brightest and brainiest lawyers, and should he be elected it would not be, as is so often the case, that the corpo- ration counsel is a lawyer with- out sufliient practice to maintain himself and sought the office merely for what there was in it. gold brick then the Pie-maker is much astonished, Any man that has handled Ankeny’s sack as long as Piper did handle it, and that, too, without any strings on the mouth of it, ought to not only be one gold brick, but he should be a whole gold brick kiln. Mayor Humes has done a good many queer things since he has ‘been mayor of this city, but, in ‘the opinion of the Piemaker, the queerest thing of all was to ‘appoint as respectable a man, ‘who is as free from factional poli- ties as is Clark M. Nettleton, to a position in his “administration. ‘The name of Mr. Nettleton was sent to the city comptroller by ‘the mayor for the position of civil service commissioner, his term to ast for three years, one day this week, which has been street com- ment ever since, Mr. Nettleton succeeded P. D. Hughes, who has been charged at various times | with being one of the worst polit- ical parasites that was ever at- tached to a municipal administra- tion in Seattle. Many interesting stories are told of his career as civil service commissioner, which by no means would look ‘well in print. On the other hand, there is no doubt but that Mr. Nettle. ton will give Seattle one of the cleanest administrations that it has ever had flong this line. ‘The people of Seattle in general, with- out regard to politics, commend this appointment, and they say, “perhaps the mayor himself is re forming in his old age.” ‘The Pie-maker was talking to John B. Wright, a well-known young attorney of this city, one day this week, and from the drift of his conversation it was learned that his client, Hanna Callahan, will come pretty near landing the entire estate of the late John Sul- livan, who died intestate in this city last year. Mr. Wright says there is no doubt but that he thor- oughly established this lady's claim to the estate and her rela- tionship to John Sullivan, and, reading from a page or two of the testimony taken before the court, it seems that he is quite correct in his assertion, and that none of the contestants will stand a ghost of a show in the courts when the matter comes up for final adjudi cation but his client. She proved beyond a question of doubt that she was the only living relative of old man Sullivan and that she was the legal heir to his entire estate. If Mr. Wright succeeds in winning his case it will not only be a legal feather in his cap, but it will be a bright financial one as well. Captain Bernier, the well-known explorer, has gone to England for the purpose of raising $40,000 to aid him in equipping an expedi tion which he is anxious to direct in search for the north pole. The Canadian government has prom- ised Bernier that it will give $60,- 000 toward the cost of the expe- dition provided he raises another $60,000. It is estimated that the cost of fitting out the expedition would be $120,000, He has been promised $20,000 by Canadians, and hopes to enlist the sympa thies of Englishmen who have money to devote to such enter- prises. Captain Bernier will re turn to Canada in time for the opening of parliament. In the Trinity churchyard in New York City in the family vault rests the remains of Robert Ful- ton, the great mechanical engi- neer, who put in operation the first’ steamboat in the United States, which run from New York to Buifalo on the Hudson river. ‘The following inseription on a granite block marks his resting place: “Erected to the memory of Robert Fulton, born 1765, died 1815, by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.” LATE DAYBREAK EARLY NIGHTFALL vee the increased use of atificial light, CONSIDER for a moment the convenience of ELECTRICITY, and also the fact that it costs no more than the inconvenient match- lighting kind of lights? !

A BUFFALO BILL SHOW Carstens Bros., the well-known wholesale butchers, have imported into Seattle a band of seven buffaloes from the Flathead reservation, Montana. Their object was to butcher them for the local market, but they were delayed in transit, not arriving in Seattle until the 23rd of December. It is a well-known fact that cattle contain a certain amount of fever and cannot be prepared for the block for several days, and since they were too late for the holiday trade, they have decided to exhibit them for a few days at the corner of Seneca street and Second avenue. It is hoped that the street railway company will purchase this band of buffaloes to be placed in one of the parks, as it is known to all that this tribe of animals is now about extinct. Only a few herds exist in the United States. AMUSEMENTS "A Royal Rogue," Jefferson De Angelis' new production, will be presented at the Grand Sunday and Monday nights and promises to be one of the season's delightful musical and comedy events. It has been called an operatic comedy, and was written by Charles Klein, the author of "El Capitan," and the music is by that clever composer, William T. Francis. In the leading character Mr. De Angelis is said to have the most congenial role he has ever played, he being even funnier than he was in "The Jolly Musketeer" or "The Wedding Day." It may possibly interest many admirers of bright wit, beauty and catchy music, a class of people who, although preferring this style of amusement to any other 172 stage performance, but refrain from attending in the company of ladies, to know that "The Burgomaster," the musical comedy which is now in its second season, and which is announced for the Grand for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights and Wednesday matinee, is as far from any tinge of vulgarity, in any manner, shape or form, as the most conventional theater-goer could desire, and reflects most gloriously on the artistic merits of the authors. The demonstration that comedians need never stoop to buffoonery is one of the chief features of the performance, and the production is presented in a most lavish manner, ever welcome to the better class of theater patronage. "The Village Parson" is expected to draw largely at the Third Avenue, where it opens next Sunday matinee, as it is claimed to be one of the strongest and best plays seen at this theater this season. The story of the play is one of considerable power in which the sorrows and temptations of a village minister are detailed. He is subjected to strong trials through the supposed faults of his wife and her father, who are really innocent. The good man goes from bad to worse, and the wrongs are corrected in the orthodox fashion. The cast is made up of many prominent dramatic players, and new and superb scenery is employed, and the production is most complete in every way.
