Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historiene Society POLITICAL POT PIE. ```markdown ``` VOL. VIII. NO. 43 Now that Seattle has had her municipal election, the players of the political chess board of this state are watching the municipal election that is soon to be pulled off in Tacoma. Already Mayor Campbell has been renominated, which is something of a rebuke to the owner of the two daily papers of that city, and if the mayor again succeeds in being re-elected the political plot of the state will be even more complicated than it has been in the past, and that is saying a good deal. If Mr. Campbell is defeated for the mayorality of Tacoma it means that S. A. Perkins is in the saddle, but, if on the other hand, Mr. Campbell is elected it means that Mr. Perkins will have to do a good deal more scraping before he will hold the key to the situation in Pierce county, and yet, regardless of what the political results may be in Tacoma, Mr. Perkins must be considered a strong factor in the political affairs of Pierce county, owing to the fact that he controls the policy of the two and only daily papers published in Pierce county. Every election in the state of Washington, whether municipal or otherwise, seems to have its bearing either directly or indirectly on the higher political offices of this state. That is to say, Washington seems to have an over-supply of would-be statesmen, who imagine that they could fill a congressional seat just as it should be. These "statesmen" use the various offices in the state only as stepping stones, which will some day land them in Congress, and for that reason every election in the state is of peculiar interest to some aspiring politician, he believing that it will redown in some way to his own success and personal agrandizement. The coming election, therefore, in Tacoma will have some bearing on the coming senatorial as well as congressional elections in this state. If Perkins wins out it means that Hon. Francis W Cushman still has a fighting show to go to the next state convention with Pierce county a unit for him, and likewise if Perkins wins out it means that Levi Ankeny, the Walla Walla banker, who has so repeatedly aspired to go to the United States senate, and as repeatedly failed, will meet the united opposition of Pierce county when the naming of a United States senator again comes around. Who Mr. Perkins will throw his political strength to is a conundrum at present, but it is absolutely certain that it won't go to Mr. Ankeny. The Tacoma election will also have some slight bearing on the re-election of Senator Foster. Though a Tacoma man, he will not get very much strength, it is predict, ed, from Mr. Perkins if he (Perkins) should happen to get into the political saddle of Pierce, county. There are others in Tacoma much more acceptable to Mr. Perkins than Senator Foster, and regardless of the outcome of the next municipal election in Tacoma, the Pie-maker predicts that Mr. Foster will find trouble at home when he aspires to succeed himself in 1905 Speaking about the next senatorial election reminds the Pie-maker that the senatorial campaign has already been opened and breastworks are being thrown up by each of the leading aspirants for the coming senatorial battle of ballots. Throughout Eastern Washington, and especially the Palouse country, the senatorial war is raging fiercely at present, and the two generals that are leading the respective armies are Levi Ankeny, the railroad candidate, and Harold Preston, the anti-railroad candidate. Already Whitman county has taken the lead in this fierce battle and the forces of Ankeny and Preston are arrayed in mortal combat against each other and nervously waiting for the command to fire. The Ankeny forces have the federal patronage at their backs, as Ankeny Foster is allowing Mr. Ankeny to name such persons for the various postoffices and federal positions in that section of the state as suits him best. The Preston forces have the state administration at their backs, and Governor McBride is selecting office-holders from that section with the view of strengthening Mr. Preston's candidacy. To such an extent is the governor pursuing this course that he has served an ultimatum on the would-be state office-holders from King county that they need not expect anything at all at his hands for the positions at his disposal will be given to persons in Eastern Washington in order that King county's candidate may have a clean sweep for the United States senate before the legislature next January. With such strong allies at their backs the two senatorial aspirants are making preparations to wage the fiercest political battle that has ever been fought in the state. Speaking about the candidacy of Levi Ankney and Harold Preston, the Pie-maker remembers when Mr. Preston bolted a Republican legislative caucus because that caucus refused to nominate Mr. Ankney for the senate and instead nominated Mr. Foster Then Mr. Ankney and Mr. Preston were almost inseparable and so politically close to each other were they that Mr. Preston almost ruined himself politically, if he actually did not do so, by bolting the party caucus which refused to nominate Mr. Ankney, for its final verdict on that point. It is therefore a very peculiar turn of affairs, when two years later Mr. Preston announces his candidacy for the same position that he left his party for because it would not give that place to a man he was supporting. if some one had told Hr. Ankney at that time that his friend Harold Preston would be a candidate for the same position two years later it is very doubtful whether Mr. Ankney would have believed them; in fact, the Pie-maker is of the opinion that he would be stamped it as a political lie instanter, but it is true. The oft-repeated expression that "politics make strange bed fellows" is not only applicable to the Ankeny-Preston escapade, but even Governor McBride himself comes in for his measure of political estrangement from those whom he has received the most political favors. If reports be true, Governor McBride would have never been nominated for lieutenant governor had it not have been supposed that he was a warm personal friend of ex-Senator John L. Wilson. The Northwest had a number of applicants for positions on the state ticket at the hands of the Republican convention, but according to political history John L. Wilson stood out for the nomination of Henry McBride for lieutenant governor, for the nomination of S. H. Nichols for secretary of state, and finally for the nomination of S. A. Calvert for state land commissioner. The senator was successful in his every undertaking, and in the course of human events Lieutenant Governor McBride became Governor McBride, and he at once turned his gubernatorial guns on his friend Wilson, became the political father of Harold Preston, who is a United States senator fondling, and he did this and is continuing to do it when he knows it to be dymetrically opposed to the aspirations of his friend Wilson, who was his political father when he was but in his political swaddling clothes. The state administration under Governor McBride is using its effort to land Harold Preston in the United States senate. When Mr. McBride was notified of the death of Governor Rogers he would not go to Olympia to take charge of the office until he had first come to Seattle and hunted up Harold Preston and taken him along with him to see him sworn in, which he doubtless did to show Harold Preston that every turn that he made would be in his senatorial interest. Just what Wilson thinks of such treatment is more than the Plemaker has any idea, but he does know there is lots of truth in the expression, "politics makes strange bed-fellows," and the above proves it beyond a question of doubt. Speaking about the legislature reminds the Pie-maker that Madame Rumor has it that W. H. Lewis, who aspired to the speakership of the last legislature, has decided to make a strike again for the lower house, and, if successful, to repeat his efforts to become speaker of the house. He reasons that he will have no opposition from one Albertson, who was speaker of the last house of the legislature, because there is no probability or prospects of one Albertson ever again being returned to the legislature, because the leading Republicans of the Eighth ward would, under no circumstances whatever, support him for a re-namination. This, according to Lewis' idea, leaves him a clear field in King county, and if he is successful in getting the nomination for the legislature, notwithstanding the fact that he bolted the Republican party in 1900, he will be elected, and then he can force his election as speaker of the house, in which position he hopes to surround himself with such an array of political satellites as to land him either in the lower house of congress or in the United States senate. Lewis has an idea that he is an awful intelligent man, a great statesman, a wonderful genius, a man endowed with super-human knowledge, with super-human looks and with super-human personal appearance—such a man as has never before strutted the streets of Seattle—and that his SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1902 superhuman traits and qualities gives him the complete right-of-way to the United States senate and perhaps even to the presidency of the United States. Jim Ham Lewis in all of his glory was but a flickering candle in comparison to what Speaker Billy Lewis is destined to be in his own mind. Some time ago The Republican announced that Will E. Humphrey would probably be the candidate of the Humes faction for congress. Whether Mr. Humphrey will be the Humes faction candidate for congress from this county or not remains to be seen, but there is one thing certain, he will be a candidate for congress and will endeavor to capture the King county delegation to the next state convention for that purpose. Since Humes' election, though he was administered a most severe reprimand and rebuke by running 3,000 votes behind his ticket, nevertheless he blutters out with all the bruskness of a political bragard that he is "it" in King county, and that the good people all voted for him and the scullions voted for Godwin. It is quietly announced that he does not intend to serve out his term as mayor of Seattle, but that he will enter the race for the nomination of congressman from Seattle, and thereby oppose his friend Humphrey, who has stood by him so loyally in his various fights in this city, but this is Humes' political history. When told of this Mr. Humphrey could hardly believe it, but was finally convinced that there must be something in it, as he had heard the same story from other sources. If it be true, however, he was heard to remark, "it is the worst piece of political ingratiate that I have ever met, but regardless of what Mr. Humes does in the matter I am a candidate for congress, and will do my utmost to secure a united delegation from King county for the next state convention for the purpose of getting the nomination." It seems to be the concensus of opinion in King county that it is the duty of Seattle to get a congressman first and, if they succeed or fail in that, then go after a United States senator. Seattle will loose nothing in getting one of the nominations for congress, and it will not injure her chances in getting a United States senator later on because she gets that nomination. Do not despise a congressional nomination because it is small is a most excellent sermon to the politicians of King county, for in turning down that nomination Seattle may also lose the senatorial election, and a congressional nomination for King is much better than no nomination. The new city council met and effected an organization last Monday at high noon and Will H. Parry, councilman-at-large, was elected president of the new body. Councilman Morrison received four votes of the thirteen while Councilman Crichton received one vote. The organization of the council and the election of Mr. Parry as its president caused the little evening twinkler, which has been making a most unmanly fight against Mr. Parry, to tumble all over itself trying to get into the band wagon. Without any intention of unduly criticizing a fellow journalist, the Pie-maker is of the opinion that Seattle never had a more deceptive journalist and a more cold-blooded editor, for what there is in it, than the editor of the **, and the time and opportunity may yet present itself when The Seattle Republican can expose the duplicity of this journalistic misfit. Who did it? might be asked now that the Seattle Electric officials have declared that their man did not, and likewise the fire department officials have declared that their man did not. Perhaps it is a mistake after all and no collision really took place last Saturday evening between an electric car and a fire apparatus, and yet we surmise that Captain McLinnis and his associates have a faint recollection that something did hit Billy Patterson. The public is cognizant of the fact that no one was responsible for the mishap, but it believes that there is no excuse for it happening again, and if the rules that have been subsequently posted at the barn by the company be observed by the employees it will not happen again. No need in further talking back. Just lower the speed of the cars on First, Second and Third avenue between Pike street and Yesler way, and not only will there not occur a similar dream as that which occurred last Saturday evening at Columbia street and Third avenue, but even a worse dream than that with cars running at a high speed will be obviated. Shawnetown is the oldest town in illinois, and its immediate neighborhood boasts of producing some of the hood boasts of having produced some of the leading statesmen of this country. COUNTRY PRESS' OPINIONS If the Sumas News is correct in its editorial statement of last week, 1,000 mining claims have been located and filed upon near the Hamilton mine during the past two months. It begins to look as though that section of the state is going to have a genuine mining boom during the coming season. The Palouse country is enjoying a period of prosperity, thinks the Colfax Gazette, because it is noted that there is an unusual amount of new buildings being erected on the farms and ranches at present and as many more for which contracts have been let to be erected in the near future. It is true, as says an exchange, that "Judge Winsor was the only candidate in the late municipal scrap in Seattle that declared he would drive gambling out of Seattle," and it is also true that "the Judge only received 110 votes out of the 14,000 that were cast," but this is no proof that the Seattle people are generally favorable to gambling and the wide-open policy as it has been conducted in the past. The thing is fastened upon them and it takes herculean efforts on their part to shake it off, but they are slowly doing so. Now comes the Port Orchard Independent with the statement that the first steamer ever built in the state of Washington was constructed at Port Blakeley. That such is a bit of news of much interest to the old pioneers is not doubted, but it is of no particular interest to the thousands of persons who are settling in this state every day, and it is certainly no great amount of advertisement for Port Blakeley. An exchange says that the news paper business seems to be overdone in the capital, as there are five weeklies and one daily, with another daily under contemplation, in operation there at present. That certainly seems to be an over-supply of papers for one little country town, but, in the West, whenever a fellow falls at everything else he starts a newspaper in order to instruct others how to succeed in business, and perhaps the very same kind of a business at which he so signally failed. Does the editor of the Ballard News speak from experience when he publishes the following very suggestive lines: "He stood on the steps at midnight; Just why it was easy to tell; He could not find the key-hole, And he dara not ring the bell." Only men who have been through such experiences have the inspiration to write such lines. Alexander Poe could have never written the Raven had he not been the principle actor in the scene of debauchery in which the mythical raven appeared over his chamber door. From the Whatcom Reveille it is learned that George F. Cotterill of Seattle and B. H. Silver of Whatcom will cross political swords for the Democratic congressional aspirants are what they are pleased to term themselves, "free-silver Republicans," and if that term has any significance the Whatcom man certainly has the bulge on our own and only George, for he has the silver both in name and politics. The Goldendale Sentinel has taken on itself the authority to promiscuously invite everybody to the old maids' convention that is to be held in its Armory hall tomorrow (Saturday) evening. It is surmised that if the women taking part in it are to be branded "old maids" in the future the convention will be very slimly attended except by spectators.

ASK YOUR GROCER The Palouse country is enjoying a period of prosperity, thinks the Colfax Gazette, because it is noted that there is an unusual amount of new buildings being erected on the farms and ranches at present and as many more for which contracts have been let to be erected in the near future. Building is always a sign of prosperity, and if the building boom has struck the Palouse farmer you can bet your bottom dollar that he is prospering. Evidently the Aberdeen Herald has no very good blood for the Populists of this city, as it seems to think that Godwin's defeat was attributable to the Populist vote. You are in error, neighbor, if you entertain any such ideas as that, for not enough votes were cast for the Populist ticket to have changed the results one way or the other; in fact, the Populists did not cast as many votes as did the Socialists. It is quite true that the politicians know what they want, and they make it their business to go after it, and it is likewise true that they are in politics for their bread and butter, and they do not leave a stone unturned to succeed in their undertaking. The man who makes a business out of politics has a profession the same as the man who makes a business out of practicing medicine or law or any other profession. The professional politician studies his business the same as other professional men, and under such circumstances it is perfectly natural for him to take every low and mean advantage that he possibly can take to accomplish his own purposes and alms and to guarantee bread and butter for his home, and who can blame him? To glance over the Kalama Bulletin one would hardly think it was fourteen years old, and yet it celebrated such a birthday a couple of weeks ago. Generally speaking, age improves most things, but it seems to have had the opposite effect on the Bulletin. But, after all, a country paper that can live fourteen years is to be congratulated, whether or not it is a success financially, editorially or otherwise. When the Puyallup Independent boasts of "peas and other garden delicacies being way up and will soon be ready for the table, and that strawberries will be in bloom the latter part of the month," it is evidently trying to hand to the newcomers to this section a gold brick. Of course, the vegetable tables of which it speaks are "way up," and they have been way up all the winter; in fact, so high up that the average wage-garner found it impossible to get them down, and again, perhaps they are way up in the hot-houses but by no means are they way up in the gardens, where they will be transplanted from the hot-houses. In one breath The Seattle Republican can says "Mayor Humes lost 3,500 Republican votes and was yet elected," and in the next it has the inconsistency to say that "none of the Republican nominees were cut at the polls by Republican voters last Tuesday." Evidently that paper does not have a very clear understanding as to how it all happened.—Starbuck Signal. Perhaps if you had sense enough to think for a second you would conclude it is you yourself that does not know AFRO - AMERICANISM AFRO - AMERICANISM * how it all happened. Mayor Humes is apparently a Republican for selfish mercenary purposes, and not a Republican from principle. If he was certain he could get no more offices from the Republican party he would soon cease to be a Republican, and, therefore, in cutting him the Republicans felt that they were not cutting a Republican nominee. While passing through the forests near Altona, Pa., George Gross was attacked by three large bucks, and to save his life he was compelled to climb a tree, where he was kept a prisoner by the infuriated animals for two hours and the weather was twenty degrees below zero. He was finally rescued from his perilous position, but not until he had been badly frosted, and for days he was in a most critical condition. AFRO - AM Sambo Got the Money. When Mrs. Eliza Jane Evans, a rather eccentric as well as feeble old white lady found a friend in George W. Thurston, a colored Pullman porter, who took an interest in her during her life from a humane standpoint, rather than from a mercenary one, and cared for her in her illness, not knowing at the time that she was wealthy, he touched the spring that lead to the sesame of human kindness, and when Mrs. Evans died a few days ago she left a will on record giving to Thurston property and money valued at $75,000. Mrs. Evans was careful that her relatives would not get their fingers in it, and she had her will so drawn and guarded against legal technicalities that Thurston has been given the possession of the property, and though her relatives have tried to break the will in the surrogate court of that state, they were unsuccessful, and her fortune is now the personal property of a deserving man. The lesson to be learned from this is, it always pays to lend a helping hand, even to those from whom you have no reason to expect an earthly reward. God Almighty, it seems, intended that one person should help his fellowman, especially if he finds him in need and deserving of his help. New York Negroes From the census it is learned that there are 60,000 Afro-Americans in New York, and of that number there are 6,000 more women than men. This probably accounts for so much mochegination between the two races in Greater New York. The same census reports more intermarriages between white and colored persons of New York than in any other city in the United States, and this intermarriage is not confined to either the males or females, but common to both. In other words, there are about as many white men with colored wives as there are colored men with white wives. So common has it become that there is a society formed by those people for social interchange, owing to the fact that there seems to be a disposition on the part of both races to show hard feelings towards the mesceginators. New York has attracted a great hoard of Southern colored folk, who find ready employment as menials among the wealth of that city, and it is in that capacity that the two races meet and under favorable circumstances intermarry.

ERICANISM SM South Carolina Education A leading white educator of the state of South Carolina, the home of Pitchfork Tillman, declares that 40,000 more Negro children than whites annually attend the public schools of that state, and the various industrial schools that have become so common to the South for colored pupils. He says it is but a question of time when capital will seek colored labor for the operation of its industrial enterprises, to the complete exclusion of white labor, for the reason that the colored labor will be educated, while the white labor will be ignorant, and business men always prefer educated to ignorant help. This is the condition of affairs that is confronting Ben Tillman, the disreputable United States senator from South Carolina, who is daily attacking the Negroes of the South and branding them brutes rather than human beings. Despite the oppression that those people are compelled to undergo at the instigation of such bullies and blackguards as Ben Tillman, they are slowly, but surely, educating themselves and educating themselves in those arts and devices that will prove the most successful to them in the battle of life, while their white brethren are standing around the street corners during the day talking politics and nigger dominance and during the nights either participating in niger rids or seeking to demoralize the race in other directions. It is a lamentable state of affairs, and one that the better element of the whites, both North and South, would do well to give a much more careful study and consideration to in the future than they have in the past. Don't Leave the Farm Bishop Potter, the noted Methodist Episcopal divine, in a lecture recently delivered in New York City, under the auspices of the Armstrong association, of which Robert C. Ogden is presidnt, warned the members of the colored race to be slow in abandoning the farm. A most excellent warning is this, and while the writer is not pessimistic enough to think that the farm is the only place that the Negro can be a success, yet he is of the opinion that in his present condition it is the only place that he will not meet serious opposition on account of his color and former condition.

What a pleasing sensation General Prosperity seems to have imbued Father St. Patrick with on his annual appearance this year. It seems that both Cleveland and Dewey were of the opinion that "hoch der Kaiser" be damned so far as they were concerned, as they had other fish to fry. It is said that last Sunday's and Monday's P.-L.'s caused Colonel Blethen to be green in the face all day Monday, so beautifully scooped was the Times on that batch of Nome news. Sarah Bernhardt and her poet lover, M. Mendes, have fallen out and do not speak as they pass by, none of which is out of the ordinary with the giddy Sarah. Cecil Rhodes, who is dying at his home in Cape Town, seems destined to pass in his checks before England gets peacable possession of South Africa. What an awful Boer it must be to him in his dying hours. There may have been many details reported about General Methuen's capture that were inaccurate, but even the general will not deny that he was captured, and that's what stings British pride. Unless Jeffries and Fitzsimmons, the pugilistic pugs, quit shooting off their gas bags, neither one of them will have wind enough to do very much fighting if they should happen to ever meet in the ring. In denying General Miles' request to be sent to the Philippines, Secretary Root has nipped in the bud another presidential advertising scheme on which the ambitious general relied to and him in the presidential chair. Very Reverend Winnington Ingram London's slum bishop, who is to preach the coronation sermon, is peculiarly fitted to preach to the fallen and why not King Edward as well as anyone else? Senator Simon, the Portland, Oregon, Jewish politician, has lost the primaries of his home county, and in his political desperation we seem to hear him sigh, "Jerusalem, my happy home, Oh how I long for thee." The shrimp on the Tacoma Ledger has partaken of his bait of crow and is now supporting Campbell, whom it has pictured as a double-dealing devil on general principles. How does it go, Jeams? A South American army is said to be suffering from the effects of using drinking water. Evidently Andrew Hemrich's agents have been derelict in their duty, which accounts for those soldiers being compelled to use water of any kind for drinking purposes. Instead of putting a ring in General Methuen's nose and chaining him to a post for safe-keeping, the Boers have sent him to his army and he is now a free man. That may be all right warfare for playing to the galleries, but it is considered child play by the nations of the world. Homing pigeons are now being sold for trapping purposes, so useless have they become since wireless telegraphy was discovered. Marconi's invention may be in keeping with the march of civilization, but, so far as the pigeons are concerned, it is causing consternation and death to be strewn along its pathway. Should the retail grocers deny striking union men credit at their stores, as has been suggested by a retail grocer in a communication to the P.I., those striking labor agitators would be dealt a body blow below the belt that they had least expected. It is a splendid remedy, and we hope to see it become effective. Petit thieving may be a polite habit among the "400," especially when the articles taken are for souvenirs of some occasion, but among decent people it is pronounced a sneak thieving habit. The petit pilfering on the part of the "400" on such occasions are but in keeping with the general moral deprivacy of that class of human offenders who are pleased to sail under such a social banner. --- It is all very well for men who have nothing else to do but write newspaper yarns to argue that at the age of fifty man is in the prime of life and has had sufficient experience to go into the work of amassing a fortune, but the actual facts do not bear out the allegation. If a man turns fifty without having amassed a fortune it is only one in 500 that ever realizes a fortune in his own name. If the action of the Republican's conference committee in congress counts for anything Uncle Sam and Cuba will be insolubly united by a commercial reciprocity cord. Look out, you little black babies of the sea, your Uncle Sam is dead anxious to adopt you, even though you be a little off color. He thinks he needs you in his business, and when he thinks he can use a little black boy he does not overlook him because he is a bit shady. Senator Turner is off his trolley when he thinks the Seattleites are waiting for him to leave his seat in congress to journey plum to Seattle to inform them that Seattle is to be one of the great cities of America. They know that, and the senator need not trouble himself about giving them this bit of confidential news. If it is ever a great city such as he speaks of, it will be so because he could not prevent it, try as much as he would or might. Louisville's journalistic "star eyed goddess" believes that Democracy has a show of winning the presidency in 1904 if only he, Watterson, is nominated. We believe one William Jennings Bryan entertained similar ideas in 1896 and 1900, but his prophesy all came to nought when the returns from the voters had been fully counted. If Colonel Watterson will brush up a bit on prophesies it will occur to him that "history repeats itself," and that he might have the same experience as did Colonel Bryan. "Now that the Prince is safe upon his native heath we really should like to hear what he says to his folks at home about us."—P.I.

In our opinion, Prince Henry is convinced that a good deal of the democracy of this country is a deception, a delusion and a snare, and nothing demonstrated that to him more thoroughly than his recent visit to this country. The Snohomish Tribune celebrated its twelfth anniversary by issuing a supplement number, the object of which was to bring Snohomish county and its industrial enterprises prominently before the general public, in which Editor Gorman succeeded right well, and he is to be congratulated on his excellent output. If Snohomish county does not get many hundreds of emigrants out of the grand rush to the Northwest that is now on, it will be no fault of the supplement to the Snohomish County Tribune recently issued. Now let the leading citizens of that city and community send away thousands of copies of this number, and it will be casting bread upon the waters, which will return in ten fold before the season closes. California has a Dunkard colony which occupies one of the prettiest valleys of California at the foot of the San Gabriel spur of the Sierra Madres, thirty miles east from Los Angeles. The colony is in a most thriving condition. A peculiarity of the Dunkards is found in the following lines: "The whole population arises at dawn, is industriously busy all day long, never speaking on any subject but those concerning the colony thrift, the manifestation of the divine will, the extension of the sect's influence, and the interpretation of scriptural passages. At sunset there are brief devotional services in every Dunkard home, and when the meal is over each household gathers about its head for Bible reading and religious contemplation. Seldom is a light seen in a home in Lordsburg after 9 o'clock at night." Made His Escape. A story which is stranger than fiction is going the rounds of the press in the East at present. It is to the effect that Lewis Ruffin, a Negro, who defied an angry mob of 3,000 whites in the city of New Orleans, and who after shooting and killing a score or more of them, finally escaped and completely dropped out of sight. It was given out that Ruffin was killed and his body identified by a hundred or more persons and that body was dragged around the streets of the city in triumph after a four wheeled chariot and then burned on a funeral pile by the enraged white citizens. But subsequently it has leaked out that Ruffin was not killed, but eluded his pursuers and finally showed up in Chicago, where he was protected by all classes of citizens and recently died in that city a much respected man and generally liked by those who knew his history. In years gone by there was a similar case to this in Clairborne County, Mississippi, where one Harrison Page succeeded in killing five or six of the leading white citizens of that county, who had collected by the thousands to mob his entire family, which consisted of a father and ten brothers, and successfully they were in Surrounded as they were in a hostile country, all of the boys managed to escape, and though there was no charge against the father and he was respected by all classes of citizens, yet dire vengeance was reeked upon his and his fourteen year old grandson and they were wilfully shot and their bodies allowed to be partially burned by the flames which was devouring his dwelling houses, because they did not get the son. For years there was a standing offer of $50,000 for the capture of Harrison Page, the leader of the Page brothers, but he has never been heard of since that time and though he has been reported captured a hundred times or more, yet he is still at large if he has not since died of old age. A remarkable thing in con- nection with this Page case was that, while the boys were being hunted by every white man in the county they were at the self-same time secreted in the home of a prominent white family in the county seat. Port Gibson, and the self-same man was on the streets every day telling how he was going to put the thumb-screws to Harrison and break every bone in his body if caught. He and other white men aided the boys in getting away, though their property was completely ruined—seventeen farm houses and a great house, as well as every out-building and fence that was burnable being totally destroyeq. This once prosperous family owned in the neighborhood of 3,000 acres of well stocked land, but their possessions were completely wiped off the face of the earth so far as the state of Mississippi was concerned, in one fell swoop.

Give Capitol Hill an Increasing Stimulus EVERY DAY ADDS TO SEATTLE'S POPULATION AND WEALTH. WITH THE CLOSE OF EVERY DAY, INCONSEQUENCE, SOMETHING IS ADDED TO THE VALUE OF EVERY GOOD RESIDENCE LOT IN THE CITY. THE MOST VALUE IS ADDED TO THOSE THAT ARE WANTED BY THE GREATEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE. NINE OUT OF EVERY TEN MEN COMPETENT TO JUDGE UNHESITATINGLY DECIDE THAT CAPITOL HILL IS FAR THE MOST DESIrable RESIDENCE PORTION OF SEATTLE. NINE OUT OF EVERY TEN WHO LOCATE WHERE THEIR PREFERENCE LEADS THEM LOCATE ON CAPITOL HILL. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT VALUES OF RESIDENCE PROPERTY ARE NOW ENHANCING AND WILL CONTINUE TO ENHANCE FASTER ON CAPITOL MILL THAN IN ANY OTHER PART OF THE CITY. Editor Bee, of the D. W. Griffin, is doing business at the old stand. A specialist in optics is in charge of Goldman's Optical Department, 901 Second Avenue. Mrs. W. T. Hardin, of Clifton, did business in Seattle last Monday. Mrs. Hardin owns one of the most highly improved ranches in Kitsap county. Mr. R. W. Butler has completed the residence and store of Mr. Norris and he will soon have his stock of groceries on the shelves. If your eyesight is poor you should consult G. M. Rigden, graduate optician, 1221 First Avenue. Examination free.

Graham, Seattle's leading millinery dealers, have returned from Eastern markets, and their emporium gives striking evidences of their return. Mrs. Anthony Richardson, Mr. P. A. De Boe and two other persons of color have all begun the erection of homes of their own. Mr. Gayton will begin within the next month. If Councilman Murphy would only act as policeman for a brief period Seattle would doubtless soon have fewer thugs and hold-ups in its corporate limits to annoy her peace going citi zens. March even on Puget Sound has been a howling success this year and persons living in this section of the country, who are not accustomed to such do not care if it never comes back. The Society of Willing Workers, an auxiliary of the A. M. E. Church on Fourteenth avenue, has elected the following officers: President, Mrs. F. N. Harris, vice president, Miss Mable Dixson; secretary, Mr. S. H. Hall; treasurer, Mrs. M. Gayton; chaplain, Rev. M. Scott. W. H. Buttner, erstwhile president and general push of the German-American Investment Company, is again in the toils of the law, being accused of many shady transactions, which the complaining witnesses believe come under the rulings of the statutes of the criminal law sufficient to convict him. Prof. W. G. Hartranft, county superintendent of public schools, has returned from an extended Eastern visit and reports a most excellent stay among Eastern friends, as well as a most instructive one, where he went to learn more of the industrial arts which are taught in the public schools of the East. "Two souls with but a single thought; Two hearts that beat as one," is the happy matrimonial state in which Miss Lottie Lee and Mr. Walter Merguson are now enjoying. Mr. Merguson is the only man of his color that is an employee in a clerical position in any postoffice west of the Missouri river. Rev. J. Gordon McPherson of Tacoma has concluded to permanently take up the work in Seattle of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, and will preach his introductory sermon the first Sunday in April. The members and friends of the church will tender him a banquet and reception the second Wednesday evening in April, at which it is hoped all will be present. Something of a musical program has been arranged for the reception. James Carter, better known as Old Hominy, the aged and decrepit old colored man that has sold hulled corn about the streets of Seattle for many years, died at the County Hospital a few days ago and was buried in Potter's field. Hominy came to this town many years ago and hardly knew from whence he came, though he knew that he was once a slave and escaped from his old home during the war of the rebellion and has never been South since that time. An appreciative audience gathered at the Evergreen Literary Society on Wednesday evening, March 19th, to listen to a "mock senate." The question before the senate for discussion was "Does the Constitution Follow the Flag?" It was able discussed by Senators Foster of Washington, Quay of Pennsylvania, Beveridge of Indiana and Tillman of South Carolina. Clerk B. F. Tutt sat coolly behind his desk recording every detail of the proceedings. After the senate adjourned the literary adjourned sine die, subject to call of the president. It was ordered that the money now remaining in its treasury be equally divided between the Baptist and Methodist churches. AMUSEMENTS. ROSE COGHLAN "Rose Coghlan, with her beauty, her ability to portray mental force and deep emotion, makes 'Lady Barter' a character to puzzle over in this brilliant play of cross purposes and bartering with the world. Her impersonation is distinctly worth seeing." This is what the New York Journal says of Miss Coghlan, who is to appear at the Grand Saturday of next week. Modern farce comedy writers find a source of much profitable study in the comical incidents and ludicrous situations which occur so frequently in Shakespeare's funniest play, "The Taming of the Shrew." A grand scenic revival of the comedy will be presented in this city on next Thursday and Friday at the Grand. The star will be the well known Shakespeareian artist, Charles B. Hanford, who is said to have scored the greatest success of his career as the dashing macap Petruchio. His taming of the shrewish Katerhine is reported to be a performance that no married man should miss seeing. Mr. Hanford's company is headed by the beautiful Helen Grant, and includes Marie Drofnah, Emma Hayner, William J. Shea, Irving Knight, Harold Fiske, R. A. Nanny, Paul Anderson, L. W. Browning, John C. Davis and R. O. Meech. Of all the great American plays the old historical drama of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has the strongest hold on people. The great Stetson production is beyond question one of the best plays ever given of this great and masterful story, hence the warm place it retains in the hearts of people of every clime. The great American classic will give to our theater-goers one of the most enjoyable entertainments ever witnessed at the Grand on the first four nights of next week, when Manager Leon W. Washburn and his great company play in that popular house. Watch for the big street parade at noon. The date for the Barlow Magnificent Minstrels at the Third Avenue theater is definitely fixed for next week. opening Sunday. This organization is, without exception, the finest of the kind now traveling. It is especially efficient in the comedy element, but its superiority musically has gained for the organization the name of "Magnificent." It contains nearly a score of excellent vocalists, many of the voices being phenomenal, while its orchestra is undoubtedly the best ever seen with a minstrel company. A grand parade will be given at noon each day and a band concert at 7:30 p. m. in front of the theater. ITEMS OF INTEREST The German wheat crop of 1901 was 35 per cent. below that of 1900. It requires the constant labor of 60,000 persons to supply matches for the world's consumption. An Essex, England, clergyman has devised an electrical appliance whereby he can sit in his vestry and ring his own bell for the various services. Sponges are being extensively cultivated in suitable water beds in Florida and other south Atlantic coast communities. No less than 172 members of the English parliament favor the compulsory adoption of the metric system for that country. Pigmentophagus is the name of a certain micro-organisms which, it is claimed, devour the coloring pigments of the hair and are the direct causes of baldness. The government of Chile has increased the export duty on nitrates, and as a result the extra duty will produce annually $50,000,000 for the government. President Roosevelt is the fifth president of the United States who has held membership in the Phi Kappa fraternity. The others were John Quincy Adams, Franklin Pierce, James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur. A French periodical, which has just been issued, claims that there are 20,000 nobles at present confined in the prisons of Europe. Russia stands first, with 12,000 blue-blooded lawbreakers. Fishing in Lake Michigan is an every-day occurrence the year round. Often the fishermen are compelled to cut through the ice in order to get their supply of fish, but they do so and supply the markets just the same. According to the New Zealand census of 1901, Aukland has a population of 67,226; Christ Church, 57,041; Dunedin, 52,390; Wellington, 49,344. The population of the island, including Maoris, is 815,820. A Kentucky farmer near Campton makes his wife and daughters pull the plow while his colored hired man does the plowing and only uses his oxen to draw the wagon and other heavier burdens. The Canadian fisheries department are sending large consignments of salmon to be placed in some of the Tasmania streams. Previously eggs of Canadian trout were sent to Tasmania which have proven very successful. The skeleton of a pre-historic mastodon has been found on the farm of John Branford, near Minooka, Illinois. Similar skeletons have been found in adjoining counties, but none so large as the one found by Branford. Bugoligists of Illinois have predicted that the seventeen-year locusts will appear in that state in immense armies during the coming summer. This species of locusts was last seen in that state in 1885. These locusts are exceedingly destructive on young fruit orchards. The superintendent of schools in Reading, Pa., has officially informed the teachers under him that they must read the daily papers and keep the run of events. In his judgment the teacher who says she never reads the papers is not qualified to teach. To prevent persons driving motor carriages from speeding them too rapidly police officers at various points have been stationed by the authorities of Dover, England, along the highway, with stop-watches to time the speed of the drivers. The diseases of fish, which have been scientifically established, are being studied now under the direction of the government fish commission, and already cures for several fish epidemics that have prevailed in the various hatcheries of the country have been discovered and are being successfully cured. A young son of President William R. Harper, of the University of Chicago, has an ambition to become a bootblack, and he actually opened up a bootblack stand and began business, when his father interfered and finally induced him to return to school. He, however, still has a weakness to own and operate a downtown bootblack emporium. The firm heretofore existing under the name of the Machlas Lumber Company, a co-partnership composed of J. J.
