Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Political Pot Pie ..... Announces his intention to stand for the nomination for coroner of King County, subject to the ratification of the Republican convention. Dr. Carroll is no stranger to the voters of Seattle, and he is well fitted for such duties as would devolve on him in that the capacity of city health officer, which he has held for years, has served the public faithfully and well, and believed doubly serviceable in the capacity of county coroner. VOL.1X, NO.2 . DR. FRANK M. CARROLL Announces his intention to stand for tion for coroner of King County, subject cation of the Republican convention. In no stranger to the voters of Seattle, an fitted for such duties as would devolve on office. In the capacity of city health office hall for the past two years, he has public faithfully and well, and believes doubly serviceable in the capacity of coor It is generally supposed, and perhaps even conceded, that all of the present county officers will be renominated, owing to the fact that they will be coming under the pale of the unwritten law that all officers who served the public well during their first terms are entitled to a second. Believing that this unwritten law will not be reversed by the Republicans in the coming convention, the present Republican officers have made no great effort to be renominated, but have allowed things to go almost by default. one as believing that in inter- ference to the treaty to the very best Republican officers have made no great effort to be renominated, but have allowed things to go almost by default. Nov Notwithstanding the fact that it is conceded that the present county officers will be renominated, nevertheless some of them are destined to have an exciting campaign before the nominations have been made, and among the number is Dr. Hoye, who will be opposed for the nomination of County Coroner by Dr. F. M. Carroll, who is at present City Health Officer. Dr. Carroll is perhaps one of the most active physicians in the city, and will be supported in his political undertaking by the young Republicans both in the city and county, but by no means wholly by the young Republicans, because he is as popular with one faction as with another. Whether or not Dr. C. E. Hoye is less popular from two years serving as County Coroner can only be told after the results of the coming convention have been made public; and even then, owing to the fact that he has such a popular young opponent, could it hardly be said that he be defeated. Dr. Frank Carroll is the son of the well-known P. P. Carroll, who was once considered the leading Populist of this county, but notwithstanding the fact that his father advocated Populism, he stood as firm as a Gibraltar in the gateway of Republicanism, swerving not a single instance from the political faith and doctrine of the G. O. That Dr. Carroll is popular among all factions of Republicans is shown by his having been selected by the times people as City Health Officer, and being backed by the leading Republicans of all factions or County Coroner. It can be safely predicted that Dr. F. M. Carroll will make a most excellent showing in the coming Republican convention for the nomination for County Coroner for King County. . . . Another fight against second-termism will be made by Henry J. Lea contesting himself for County Clerk. Mr. Lea claims that he is very popular to succeed himself for County Clerk. Mr. Lea claims that he is very popular to come to the city's gates, and will one following over Mr. Koepfl. He further claims that he will get a good strong vote in the city, which will guarantee him a big convention vote, and perhaps the nomination. Mr. Lea is a hard political worker and stands in the boys, and the Ple-maker is of the boys. He is also Mr. Koepfl. Mr. Koepfl quite a race for his money. He is a candidate for the position without any compromise and will be willing to stand aside for two years on the promise that the boys will then support him for the place. He has no regard whatever to the second term consideration and proposes to make the fight without fear or favor. . . . Two persons have been spoken of thus far for the office of Prosecuting Attorney, in the persons of W. T. Scott and Frank B. Weistling. Mr. Scott is one of the most popular men in the city, and the Pie-maker predicts that he will get the nomination by an overwhelming majority in the coming convention. Everybody knows Mr. Scott, and they know him to be [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie and a flower on his lapel]. The popular proprietor of the well-known Hotel Diller, has announced his intention of standing for the nomination for State Senator from the 45th Legislative district, subject to the ratification of the Republican convention of that district. For many years he has been an important factor in Seattle politics and especially in the fight. The fight for the nomination is already between Potts and the "field," with the odds in Potts' favor. one of the whitest of white men. Try as hard as one will or may, it is utterly impossible to find anyone in Seattle that makes bold the assertion that he intends to support Frank B. Weilsting that makes bold the assertion that he is true in the county, and all others of the fact that Mr. Scott is tied up to the Wooding combination. It is very generally believed that he will be nominated hands down; and, if nominated, Walter Fulton will be no longer for him at the polls in November. --- Speaking about the Wooding combination reminds the Ple-maker that something of a political fight is to be found in the race for the nomination for Sheriff. While John Wooding seems to be the leading candidate, Stringer, the well-known deputy U. S. Attorney, quite a strong candidate, and is making a nice fight for the nomination. While it is generally conceded that Mr. Wooding will win hands down, yet Stringer is developing a great deal more strength than anyone ever considered he would do. According to a report, Stringer is going to come pretty near ruling the gates, with a strong following in the county, and thus giving Mr. Wooding quite an interesting scrap. JUDGE T. H. CANN. "I am a candidate for a renomination for Justice of the Peace for Seattle. I believe I have served my people well since I have been justice of the peace, and I am frank to confess, since nothing to the contrary has been reported, that I am deserving of it in my opinion. I am and have been a loyal Republican since I first voted for Abraham Lincoln," was the way Judge Cann made known that he would again be a candidate before the coming Republican convention. The candidates for Justice of the Peace of Seattle are beginning to line up and The Republican has been authorized to announce that Judge T. H. Cann, who has twice served the city as Justice of the Peace and once as Police Judge, will be a candidate for re-election. Judge Cann has made a diligent official, and has given satisfaction since he has held the position as Justice of the Peace, and for that reason he asks for a renomination. --- The Republican has been requested to announce the candidacy of George N. Gilson for the nomination of County Commissioner from this district. Mr. Gilson needs no special introduction to the voters of Seattle, because he is well and favorably known, and as soon as it will be generally learned that he is a candidate for re-election he will unquestionably be the most formidable one out for the place Since he has been elected County Com SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1902 W. G. POTTS, proprietor of the well-known Hotel nounced his intention of standing for or State Senator from the 45th Legis- tute to the ratification of the Re- lation of that district. For many years he been an important factor in Seattle specially in the Fifth ward. The fight on is already between Potts and the odds in Potts' favor. missioner he has made an exception- ly good official; and as it is the un- written law among Republicans to give a law man a second term, it is expected that Mr. Gibson will be renominated practically without opposition. . . . However, another Richmond has come to the surface for this nomination in the person of Charles Baker, of the Eighth precinct of the Seventh man, and of the Baker is a very popular man, and of the Baker is a very important that the least mention of his name in this connection will bring to him a host of admirers, who will go down the line for him as long as there are any hopes whatever of him being nominated. There is still another candidate, but neither Mr. Gibson nor Mr. Baker seems to think that he will be in it when it comes to voting on the nomination. --- The central committee has fixed the date of holding the next Republican King County convention June 27th that is, twenty-one days from the date hereof, and the official call for the same will be found in another column interested among those who are general interested in political affairs is to the JAMES D. HOGE, JR. An ex-journalist, but at present president of the First National Bank of this city, has decided to enter the race for the nomination of State Senator from the 45th Legislative district and has already begun to make an active campaign for the same. Mr. Hoge has a host of political friends in the state, and are determined that he shall have the support of precinct's delegation, and that will mean other delegations. He will make an aggressive campaign. effect that the convention is being held altogether too early; but those who have official charge of the.matter announce that it has been called and will be held accordingly. About the only advantage that anyone can expect to gain in the holding of the county convention as early as this call, he says, is that the convention and his friends can successfullyvent the convention from indorsing a congressional candidate, as a great majority of the voters of King County desire it to do. Mr. Preston is most decidedly adverse to a congressman being nominated from this county, and if he can prevent it the coming county convention will take no steps toward the convention, for friends will bitterly oppose it, believing that it will injure Preston's chances of being elected United States senator. --- It was announced a few days ago that John H. McGraw would be a candidate for state senator from the Fourth ward, subject to the indorsement of the Republican convention later on. If Mr. McGraw is Harold Preston's candidate for senator for the Fourth ward, arises, and very seriously at that, where date is George Piper? It has been announced that Mr. Piper was a Harold Preston man, and would look after his interests from that district; but if it be true that Mr. McGraw is to run for the senatorship, then one be warranted in indulging in the belief that Preston is fighting Mr. Piper. If Preston is fighting Piper, and Joe Dawes is likely Piper, and he is, it must be apparent to Piper about now that he has a hard road to hoe to get the Republican nomination for state senator from that district. There is still another candidate in that district who is being quietly groomed for the nomination in the middle. Jim Calvert, and while he is not made a candidate, he campaign his friends are watching every point with the view of taking advantage of any opportunity that may present itself; and between the four aspirants things promise to be just as lively in the Fourth ward primaries as they will be in the Fifth ward. . . . Speaking of the Fifth ward and its senatorial scrapping makes one almost smile. Since there are ten announced candidates for state senator, and perhaps twice as many more for the two nominations for the lower house, but the senatorial camp is where the bitter fighting is to be found. Some of the candidates for the senatorship have a positive strength, and they are useful that to the very best advantage. W. A. Hodgson lead thus far in the race, with F. B. Hodgson beck a close second. Potts has a cinch on the delegation from the Second precinct, and thinks he has an equal cinch on the delegation from the First and Fourth precincts, with a splendid show of getting the delegation from the Seventh ward, which will give him the nomination. In case he is to get the Fourth precinct, he is of the opinion that he can make a trade with the Sixth precinct, and thereby land the nomination. Hodgson is dead certain of the Third precinct, and believes that he has more than a fighting show to capture the First precinct, the Fourth precinct and the Fifth precinct, which would give him the nomination. In case he fails to capture the Fifth, he is of the opinio- that he switch back and make a trade with the Sixth, and by holding the First and Third in tow he can get the nomination without the Fifth. ... Both Potts and Hollenbeck are strong men, and perhaps each one of them is strong enough to prevent the other from getting the nomination. In case this be true, then one of the candidates from the Fifth precinct will have a splendid show of walking in and capturing the nomination. . . . There are at present four candidates for state senator from the Fifth precinct, but before the primaries are held this number will no doubt be reduced to two; and the men who will make the hardest fight to capture the Fifth precinct will be Glimore or Josiah Collins on one side and James D. Hoge on the other. If Hoge should capture the Fifth he could command the delegates from the Seventh ward, trade for the delegates from the Sixth precinct, and likewise make a trade with the fourth precinct, which would give him the nomination. The same would hold trade with Collins or Collins if either of them should capture the ten votes in the Fifth precinct will, perhaps, require twenty-six votes to secure the nomination, and unless Potts or Hollenbeck gets enough votes to land them on the first ballot it is not probable that they will be able to do enough trading to bring their nomination about. . . . There is another bitter legislative scrap going on in this city, and it is to be found in the Seventh and Third wards. For the senate four candidates have been announced in the persons of Hon. E. B. Palmer, Hon. E. C. Nuefelder, Hon. Frank P. Lewis and Hon. W. W. Wilshire. Of the four announced candidates, Mr. Palmer, perms, has more positive strength than any with Nuefelder not far behind him. These four represent different factions, and that may be strong enough to prevent other from being nominated, providing Mr. Lewis and Mr. Wilshire can make any showing at all in the convention. In case this be true, then a good deal of trading will be the result of that district's convention, and both of the leading candidates might stand a good chance of losing the nomination. Mr. Palmer has won his precinct every time he has gone out after it, and Mr. Nuefelder has been equally successful in his; but the success any candidate out there depends largely on the Third ward, which ward has no candidate for state senator as yet. --- It was under the legal administration of Will E. Humphrey as Corporation Counsel of the city of Seattle that the Cedar River Water Works was begun and completed. The completion of this vast water system will stand as a perpetual monument to the good work of Mr. Humphrey as Corporation Counsel of Seattle and a public servant. During the four years that he was Corporation Counsel he worked untrifly for the best interests of the city and the success that attended his labors is proof sufficient of that fact.

In other words, men who read their Bibles. How many of the business men of this country ever stop to consider for a single minute that the reading of the Bible is an important factor in their business? Why? I ve President Roosevelt, who is one of the most successful business men, as well as most popular public men in this country, thinks absolutely necessary. The Bible is eschewed from the business man's everyday library, and he is too tired on Sunday to give it any attention. Christian church every Sunday rarely ever read their Bibles. They depend on the preacher to teach them Christ and Him crucified, and then they leave it all at the church door when they start for home. It is most remarkable that so few business men of this country at the present pay any attention to the reading or the discussing of the Bible in the circles. The question naturally arises, does that mean that Christianity is growing cold?

It is but natural that they sound a warning to their sons against adopting such a career. Among many of culture and Christian refinement it does not seem that it would be necessary for them to adopt questionable means in order to succeed, and if it is necessary for them to do so it seems to us that this boasted, civilization about which we talk so much is after all but a delusion and a snare, and a radical revolution should at once be set on foot in order to bring about a different state of affairs in what we are pleased to civilization that would make it unnecessary for men to become deceivers and imposters in order to become great public characters.

SPOKANE POLITICS. --- SPOKANE, June 4—Since the railways have commenced their fight against Gov. McBride and the Seattle politicians who are backing him, the people of Spokane are wondering when the roads will commence the same kind of a fight in this city. That the people of Spokane will endeavor to have nominated and elected for the legislature men who will favor their cause. In fact, already they have given an indication of their purpose in their threat to take away the milling in transit rate from the flour mills in Spokane, which would come near to closing all of these big and important institutions. It is believed that this effort to deprive the people of Spokane of this benefit attempt of the roads to throw Spokane into line for them at the next session of the legislature. At the last session the only serious argument made to the Spokane Republican members to vote for the roads against the various bills which were then pending was that if the members from Spokane did not do so the result might be that the milling in transit rate would have to be reduced this rate but with this argument two of the Spokane members were induced to refrain from voting for the anti-railroad bills. The roads evidently intend to commence earlier this year and hope to compel all the members from Spokane at the next session to vote with them. The threat to withdraw the milling in transit rate certainly will be a strong argument for the roads, and will compel all the members from Spokane and with the members of the legislature. What other arguments and schemes the roads will spring with the same object in view remains to be seen. At the present time public opinion in Spokane is divided on some of the railroad issues, and on others it is more or less united. The governor's fight against the railroad lobby at Olympia is generally sustained. This lobby, as it is manipulated by George Stevenson and others, interfering in all matters of legislation whether per se or in general, is (un)often generally condemned as a disgrace to the state, and if the governor can run the entire legislative railroad push into the Sound the people of Spokane will be well satisfied. On the question of a railroad commission sentiment is also quite generally with the governor. Few people, unless they are in some way connected with the railroad business, can be found in Spokane who do not say that the proposition of a commission is fair to the roads, to the merchants and to the farmers, and, further, that it is needed to protect the interests of the people. They also believe that if honestly organized it would be no问题, the men who are most apt to the benders the influence of the railroads, say that a commission is right and hope that the governor and the members of the legislature who have been with him in this fight will win. But when it comes to a question of the merger and the fight which the governor is making in the courts against it there is a very pronounced difference of opinion. The governor's courage is admired and so is his honesty of purpose. But the wisdom of the fight he is making against the court is not that the court he cares questioned on the streets of Spokane on the merger is but an evidence of the spirit of the times; that Mr. Hill is but keeping pace with the general movement for consolidation, and that to do otherwise would show him to be a man not equal to the task before him. That the people will not suffer in the long run and that the business men of Spokane in particular will be able to treat the many. Mr. Hill is allowed to work out his plan without handrance from the officials of the state. Many of the shippers of the city are pronounced in their disapproval of the action of the governor and declare that Spokane will suffer seriously and that the governor ought to be and will be held responsible. On the other hand, many persons support the governor and say that Mr. Hill is violating the law and it is the duty of the governor to state the, whether the law is good or not, that the railroads as well as the roads have interfered so often in the legislative affairs of the state that it is the duty of the governor to use the courts to curb their power, which already is too great. And, further, it is claimed by the supporters of the governor that the people of Spokane, as well as those of other portions of the state, may be if the merger stands, and that he have it in his power to ruin communities and individuals. And thus the arguments are made for and against the policy of the governor in fighting the merger. The result of the agitation is uncertain. If the roads force the shippers and mill owners to demand that the delegation from Spokane oppose any interference with the affairs of the railroads perhaps they may bring enough pressure to bear to line up most, if not all, of the Spokane members for the roads. But the result is more apt to be as it has been in the past. Some of the Spokane legislators will support the roads and some of them will be against them. The members of the lower house from Senator Tolman's district are most apt to be found on the side of ue roads, for there is a bigger railroad vote in this district than in any other in the county. From the district which Senator Crow represents it is quite uncertain how the two members of the house are apt to stand, for there is a large farmer vote, and there is also quite a railroad vote in the city portion of the district. Senator Hallett's district is all outside of the city of Spokane, and it is natural to suppose that the farmers will see to it that the member who goes on railroads will be against the railroads. The two members entirely in the city, and each elects a senator and two members of a house and two members of the legislators will stand it is hard to say, but if left alone they would probably be with the governor for a railroad commission and perhaps for a rate bill. An effort is being made to secure for judge A. G. Kellam a non-partisan indorsement of the Spokane bar for the nomination for superior court judge. A petition is being circulated among the attorneys asking that the judge be nominated. It is said he is not anxious to make the race unless he secures such an indorsement. He himself is a Republican, but the pet tion is being signed by both Republicans and Democrats. The judge's friends say it will result in giving him the nomination and the election. But there are two or three other candidates for the position of superior court judge among the Republicans who profess to be not at all alarmed at this movement. In the first place they say many of the attorneys have refused to join them. This is why they, they claim the movement started among the Democrats and is being pushed by certain Democratic attorneys which may give it a suspicious look to the Republican convention. And, finally, they rely on the inclination of the farmers and other delegates of the convention to refuse to indorse the plan because it is a scheme of the lawyers. Among the Democrats there are also two or three persons talked of for the place, and they approve of a plan to give a Republican the position without at least a fight at the polls. The position in question is the third judgement of the county, which was created by the last legislature and which Governor Rogers filled till the next election by the appointment of Judge L. H. Prather. Judge Prather has said that he will not be a candidate for the place. It is only a two year term. Among the Republicans who are under consideration for the nomination will Kemedy Kellam there are Judge L. H. Prather of the municipal court, and Attorneys W. A. Huneke, J. A. Peacock and James Dawson. J. For the Democratic nomination A. M. Craven is a candidate. During the week the efforts of W. M. Ridpath to secure the support of certain leading Republicans have been a subject of interest among politicians. There is quite an element in Spokane which favors the plan to make a fight for a congressional nomination from this city. But the Republicans who wish this have not been agreed as to whom the candidate should hold all of them have thought Col. Ridpath has the necessary personal strength to make a fight for the nomination or a successful campaign if nominated. These leaders have exerted themselves to find a better candidate around whom to rally. W. J. C. Wakefield is the man most eagerly importured to make the race, but he as well as others have refused. The result is that Col. Ridpath so far has the nominal if not the hearty support of those who are opposing John W. Wilson and who wish Spokane have a victory in a congressional nomination ticket in order to assist in Mr. Wilson's defeat for the senate. If no other candidate for congress appears in Spokane, Col. Ridpath will secure the active assistance of many of these anti-Wilson leaders. His friends claim that Judge James Z. Moore, Samuel R. Stern, Hal Cole, Cook, and other leaders of this action are for Ridpath, and that Ankeny's Murphy is for him if he does not decide for the do or do himself. If this be true, Col. Ridpath will certainly have a able following in the county convention. If he joins hands with Levi Ankeny his support in the convention will be somewhat further increased. But there is one thing in Mr. Ridpath's candidacy which is hard to explain. He has for many months been on the unfair list of the labor unions of Spokane. That is, his building the Ridpath block, is under the ban of the unions and has been ever since it was built. He would certainly make a poor showing at the polls if nominated, as long as he has the labor unions against him. It is presumed that he will put up the fine of the unions if this is what they require, or in turn, he will square himself with these people who he goes much further. Perhaps he then will be time enough to do this when he has secured the support of his own county. At any rate those Republicans who have the interest of the party at heart will hesitate to give the colonel very hearty support if his present relations with the unions continue. The positions of register and receiver of the United States land office at Spokane continue unsettled. The people are growing tired of it all, and wish that some one would be appointed. It is now believed that Hal Cole and E. Cole have the inside track for the position, though Mr. Luddin still is making a hard fight to retain his place. The trouble at the city hall continues, though it is not so boisterous as it has been. The mayor is theendent of the city council were brought into court for contempt by Mr. Gilson, who is a member of the Baldwin machine. The mayor and the president of the city council won. Another defeat for Mr. Baldwin! It is said that present trouble, which is so important, will be the emperor Turner for re-election, arose over the allegation that a half a pound of grass seed had been embezzled! The White River Journal calmly announces that Senator Preston has almost the entire business interests of Seattle at his back. And it looks like the entire business in interests are making it exceedingly warm for the senator's back. SPOKANE The Calvary Baptist members are beginning to make preparations for the Association.

The McKaulass Minstrel Co. made a hit here last week on the north side. Though a tented exhibition, it was good. J. H. Ryan of The Seattle Republican was seen on the streets of our city Monday. "Just over for a flyer," he said. Rev. J. B. Bekham, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, left yesterday morning for Latha to attend the Association. Miss Minnie Brown wishes that all subscribers for The Republican in Spokane will make an effort to pay her their subscriptions, either at-172 S. Stevens street or at the Crescent Store. A Business Men's League is now in process of formation. After the organization is perfected efforts will be affiliate with the National Association Fred E. Wilson is now running between Seattle and Spokane, much to the delight of his many friends in the latter city. It is said that Fred absolutely refused to accept the nomination as the socialist candidate as mayor of Northport. The young people are trying to perfect a literary organization. They met last Tuesday evening at the Calvary Baptist Church, Mr. B. R. Carle was elected temporary chairman and Miss Minnie Brown temporary secretary. It is thought a fine literary organization will be perfected for the winter. A delightful smoker was given in honor of Charles Herron at Fred Sharp's on Monroe street Monday night. A delightful time was reported, and as there were a great number of married men present, for fear of conflicting with their "lodge stories" told their wives. We refrain from giving names. A concert was given at the Bethel M. E. Church last Thursday evening. At the close of the programme the watch contest came off. Those contesting were Mrs. A. Z. Stalling. Miss Bertha Patton and Miss Louise Wright. Miss Bertha Patton was the lucky lady, having raised $34, and she is now the proud possessor of a beautiful watch. Miss Bertha Patton won the second prize. PASSING EVENTS. Last Friday the American people paid tribute to their heroes dead; and from the Associated Press dispatches the next day they seem to have done so in every section of this broad land, with a greater tribute could be paid to those who lost their country's cause, then for their surviving comrades to join hands with the younger generation in paying homage to their memory by spreading flowers on their graves. The American people will never tire of keeping green the graves of their brave heroes from the country in the War of the Rebellion, as well as in the Spanish-American war of a more recent date. --- Perhaps no state in the Union is growing in wealth so rapidly as is the state of Texas at present; and it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that Texas is the greatest state of the southern section of this country, and all because only a few months ago oil was discovered in very large quantities in that state. So exxon-mobil fields there that instead of using the fields for laying purposes as has been the case with majority of oil taken from Mother Earth in the other states in which it has been discovered, it is used as a substitute for fuel both in the homes as well as for general utility purposes; and, as a result, oil in Texas is rapidly taking the place of coal, and one can truly say that in Texas oil is King. Men, previously in the poorest of circumstances, have suddenly become millionaires, and hundreds of others who are not found oil are amassing fortunes and are discovering discovery of oil in that state. Other states along the Pacific coast belt have been staging to find oil in paying quantities, but outside of California none of them have succeeded as yet. There seems to be a general disturbance among the world's volcanoes at present. It is said that at the time of the volcanic eruptions at Martíneque that the volcanoes in France at once became sympathetically active; and, while they did not show so much activity, the islands, it was plain to be seen that the volcanoes disturbed, and scientists are now saying that the same disturbances that caused Mt. Pelee to break forth in deadly flames, thereby completely destroying St. Pierre, passed under the sea and likewise disturbed the volcanoes in Europe. That, of course, is mere speculation, but it is rather strange that the European volcanoes should become active at the same time as in Martíneque. Among the superstitions considered a warning of the near approach of the world. The world may come to end at an early date, but there is nothing in these volcanic eruptions to warrant one in believing it.

KNICKERBOCKER, Chairman, King County Republican Committee. Attest: F. G. WHITAKER, Secretary. Dated May 29, 1902. LOCAL-PERSONAL. Mrs. C. A. Lucas is in Spokane this week, the guest of Mrs. Turner. A specialist is in charge of Goldman's Optical Department, 901 Second Avenue. Charley Bailey has decided to "linger longer" in Seattle, and consequently will not go to Nome. Mr. W. F. Hays is now with Mr. B. F. Tutt, where he will be found by all of Henderson's old customers. Mr. Harry Agie leaves this week for Dawson, where he now calls his home. Harry leaves many friends on the outside who wish him well. Mr. George Lyons left on the Ohio for Nome last Tuesday, where he goes to open up his restaurant, which was constructed by him in 1901. Mr. George Lyons leaves for Dawson in a few days, where he goes to open a shop near the north will," as he is commonly called, is one of best known men in Seattle, having conducted the "depot show" for years. It is rumored that John F. Cragwell will open the Henderson shop in a few days as a "White Shop." If you notice a sign at the entrance, "Orders for coal taken here," don't misinterpret the meaning. We note from the Portland Age that "Blakemore, formerly of the 'B,' in Chicago, in Portland, and in a restaurant location. If Blakemore falls to find what he wants, Seattle is a verdant field for business men of the Blakemore type. Ollie Willis, a well-known sporting man of Spokane, came over with the Spokane baseball team. Ollie is a good spender and a strong believer in the home team, but he knows better the Spokane "sadder but wiser man." Ollie should have chosen the Tacoma team, that's easy. The ladies of the Quid Nunc Club held forth at the A. M. E. Church Thursday and Friday nights of this week, giving a bazaar for the purpose of assisting Rev. Scott in his rally. A delightful programme was rendered on both evenings. The ladies participating were Mesdames H. R. Cayton, J. E. Hawkins, Samuel Thorne, F. T. Anderson, P. De Boe, Harris Gross, Washington, Misses Oliver, Hill and others. Considerable surprise was expressed at Henderson closing his place. Every failure of one of the race is and should be regretted, but Mr. Henderson's failure is due to lack of business principle. Just why colored men should be asked to pay 15 cents to a colored man for a shave when Japs will do the same for 10 cents is past common sense understanding. The old belief that colored men are stuck on spending their money did not seem to apply to "Henderson's place." The memorial exercises held at the M. Zion Baptist Church on Friday evening were entitled to a much larger crowd than was present. J. E. Hawkins, the well-known local attorney, presided in his usual diplomatic way. He is without doubt the peer of any who in the city as a presiding officer, and who as on this particular occasion, the minister programme was defective, the chairman was equal to the occasion and made plausible explanation of the failure to the managers to provide what they are cried and promised. Aside from the emission of the musical programme the exercises were a treat to those who revere the memory of the G. A. R. Mr. I. F. Norris was the principal speaker of the evening ad carried his audience from '61 to the present day with oratorical suaveness common to the captivating speaker. While this was not the first time Mr. Norris has been heard in this city it is safe to say impression he made on this particular occasion will mark him as one of the few public speakers worthy of mention. Remembrance were also made by Rev. Pettigrew, Mr. M. Ory, Mr. Leo Presto and an aged French gentleman, gave vent to a few patriotic remarks that were applauded to the echo. --- No other Northwestern store shows the variety of Oil Cooking and Heating Stoves as does this store.

For example, the grand comedies which were great successes in the first present have met with the most popular approval when they have been revived. A good case in point is "The Country Girl", which was produced in London over two centuries ago. Since then frequent revivals have been made and each time with much success. The latest presentation of this old comedy is by Kathryn Kidder, who is winning new laurels by her impersonation the frolicsome Pegy, the heroine of Danny McKinley's play. All reports state that it is one of the genuine theatrical treats of the season. Local theatre-goers will welcome the announcement that Manager Cort has succeeded; after long negotiations, in arranging for Miss Kidder's appearance at the Grand on June 15, 16 and 17. She will be supported particularly strong company, including many artists of national reputation, such as Norman Hackett, Robert V. Ferguson, John Hamilton, Munroe Sailbury, Seymour Stratton, H. L.
