Seattle REPUBLICAN PLATFORM We, the Republican party of the State of Washington, in convention assembled, adopt the following platform: "In common with the good people of all the earth we mourn the untimely death of our great leader and president, William McKinley. His character, his achievements and his fame belong to no party, to no state and to no country. They are the common heritage of all humanity, and will ever rest as a sacred benediction to the civilized world. "His work failed not at his death, for his mantle fell upon the shoulders of one who is wise, fearless and able to follow in the pathway of national policy laid down by him. "We congratulate the people upon the unexampled prosperity of this nation. "History has proven the wisdom and soundness of the principles contained in the St. Louis and Philadelphia platforms, and we hereby reaffirm the same. "We endorse the foreign and domestic policy of President Roosevelt, and pledge our congressional delegation to the hearty support thereof. "We especially commend the attitude of the president toward trusts." "We endorse the wise, able and patriotic administration of state affairs by Governor McBride. "We are unqualifiedly in favor of the retention of the Philippine islands and encouraging the development of our present growing trade with the Orinet. "We favor the admission of those territories now seeking admission into the Union when they shall have become as populous as was the State of Washington when admitted. POLITICAL POT - PIE The last state convention is now a thing of the past, and, despite the stormy debate that prevailed during the closing session, it was one the whole generally considered a rather harmonious gathering, and though there were some disappointments, it is very generally believed that no great amount of sore spots were left and from that section he need not expect any support, aid or assistance for his future political ambitions. Better ter had the governor lost his commission plank to have lost the enire northwest as he did, thus demon strating to the public that he was not acceptable to the section from whence he hails. --- VOL. 1X. NO. 15 That was a hot fight in the convention over the railroad commission plank, and though the plank won, yet it bids fair to lose in the legislature. * * * * Delegates to the late state convention not before personally acquainted with Harold Preston were sadly disap pointed in King county's judgment in se acting a candidate for the United States senate, after hearing his convention speech, on which the governor relied so much. His efforts reminded one of an exhausted windmill trying to run itself by water. Francis W. Cushman was by odds the convention favorite during the two days that the delegates were assembled at Tacoma for the purpose of holding the Republican state convention, and it was freely predicted even before he had said a word to the convention that he would run ahead of his ticket at the coming election, and his convention speech signed, sealed and delivered the prediction. As chairman of the state convention John H. Powell was a prince. His rulings were not only fair, but wise and able. At no stage of the game was he at a loss for words to put the convention on the right track. . . . Whatcom county, led by the silver-tongued C. W. Howard, made it so plain to Governor McBride that he (McBride) need not expect any help from that county in the future that the governor was tempted to have a plank inserted in the p'platform ordering the legislature to blot Whatcom county off the map. * * * Snohomish with 28 votes, Whatcom with her 23 votes, Jefferson with her 8 votes, San Juan with her 6 votes, Island with her 4 votes and Clallam with her 8 votes, all of the old northwest combination, and the home of Governor McBride, as well as the home of a majority of his appointees, all voted solidly against him and his commission proposition, which would seem to indicate that the Northwest will be solidly against the governor in 1904. . . . Had it not been in deference to Harold Preston, King county would have cast 90 votes against the commission instead of 45½ as it did. It can be safely said that 90 per cent of the votes of King county are against the drastic railroad measures such as Governor McBride is trying to force the coming legislature to pass. It can be safely said that the late convention was the hottest political number ever held in the state, and yet no great amount of bad blood was worked up during its sessions, nor was there any great number of sore spots left on the delegates. In fact, the convention, though stormy, ended pleasantly and the delegates all left feeling happy over the results, though they did not meet the approval of all present. . . . Frank H. Brownell deported himself manly after his defeat, and in doing so he placed himself in line for political promotion by his party in the very near future. All felt well toward Brownell because he surrendered to the inevitable without showing any signs of being disgruntled. . . . Falknor's remark on being elected temporary chairman, to the effect that he "felt on being elected to the position like a fellow invited to a wedding feast when the other fellow got the girl." shows that he is too small a personage to ever be seriously considered by a great party to serve in any responsible position. Cushman's speech bristled with classic, comic, historic and patriotic points and it gave him a standing among the party's representatives such as but few public men of this state have ever before enjoyed. Cushman got wrong on the commission proposition, but he squared himself by his speech. . . . Some of the prominent spectators seen at the convention were: Hon. Harry L. Wilson, minister to Chili; ex-Senator John L. Wilson, proprietor of the P.I.; Hon. Levi Ankeny, the Walla Walla banker; ex-Governor John H. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1902 The vote by counties on the commission plank, which brought political victory to Gov. McBride is as follows: Counties No. Yes. Jefferson 8 .

Squire, all of whom have been or are prominent in the political affairs of this state. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Ankeny are both prominent aspirants for the United States senatorship at the hands of the coming legislature. Austin Myres, from Kittitas county, failed to get the chairmanship of the state central committee, and thus was his political idol for two years to come shattered in one fell swoop. . . . When the newly-elected state central committee selected Hon. Ellis Morrison for chairman, a man was placed at the helm of the campaign that will be fair to every candidate on the ticket and fair to the senatorial aspirants who will come before the next legislature. Mr. Morrison is an able and sagacious campaigner and will make a gallant fight, and it is here predicted he will roll up for his candidates in the neighborhood of a 16,000 majority Stanton Waburton's anti-railroad speech in the convention was one that could not be admired even by Waburton's best friends. It bristled with exaggerations, hypothesis and absolute falsehoods and was also interspersed with occasional sparks of vulgarisms such as only Waburton is capable of doing at a public gathering where ladies occupy prominent seats. No man in the state is more generally disliked than Waburton, and it can be safely said that McBride has hooked on to a dead one in Tacoma in tying up with him. . . . Sam Piles may have been speaking for a specific object and for his own personal interests, but no one can deny that his speech was by far the best one made on the floor of the convention in defence of the railroad corporations of this state. Sam's arguments could not be answered. They were so sound, logical and eloquent that even Preston himself arose and admitted his inability to answer Mr. Piles, and yet Mr. Preston is the man who wants to go to the senate. If he is unable to even compete with the local railroad attorneys in a state convention, what a figure he would cut in the United States senate among statesmen! . . . Without any intention of doing anyone an injustice, The Republican is inlined to believe that the four speeches of the convention were Cushman's, Thompson's, Piles' and Howard's. Others made splendid short takls, but lacked logic, reason and the necessary proofs to substantiate the glittering generalities made by them. While Hon. J. H. Schively denied any intention whatever of making a speech, yet the terse remarks made by GOV. HENRY G. McBRIDE. counties on the commission plank, which Bride is as follows: Yes. Jefferson ... 8 ..

Tot 2 Skagit ... 18 him on retiring from the chairmanship of the central committee were timely and met public approval, as but few other remarks in the convention did. Mr. Schively's advice to the party to support the candidates when nominated and to get rebaptized in party loyalty brought forth the wildest enthusiasm and somehow or other when he was making the remark most of the delegates turned to look at Tom Humes and Senator Frink. At Humes because he was charged with boting the ticket in 1900, and at Frink because he was defeated by the Humes boit. . . . Evidently Louis Osborn, of Thurston county, has decided to become the Republican mascot of this state. Two years ago Will Morris and others brought l.m to Seattle from the state convention and exhibited him as a second Jimmy Ham Lewis, whom he to some extent resembles, and this year he showed up again at the state convention wearing the same outfit bought by Mr. Morris and trying to assume the airs of Dude Lewis to the minutest detail. He is a convention mascot, and if he will just hold out no Republican convention will be complete without him. . . . The eulogy pronounced on Hon. William McKinley by the Hon. Wesley L. Jones was a most excellent one, and such a eulogy was highly appreciated by all present and would have been as highly appreciated in any Republican convention in the United States. Mr. Jones, for the time that was left to him to talk, made a most excellent address and shows that he is an able legislator and the convention did itself pround and honor when it renominated him by acclamation along with Mr. Cushman to return to the halls of congress and there defend the rights of the state of Washington and the public in general for two years more. . . . As usual Hon. S. G. Cosgrove was a delegate from Garfield county and as usual Cosgrove entertained everybody with his usual supply of good campaign stories. Mr. Cosgrove always has a story to fit every awkward situation that arises in a state convention and it is here predicted that that one of these days he is going to tell a story that will land him in the gubernatorial chair of this state, and should such happen you can smoke it in your pipe right now that he will make one of the best governors that the state of Washington ever had. The convention did not leave very much for the coming Democratic convention to take exceptions to nor make political capital of, and for that reason Dave Larimer, the past master journalistic prevaricator of the state, was so blue and grum by the time the --- "We are heartily in favor of the policy of President Roosevelt in regard to the reclamation of arid lands; and our delegation in congress is instructed to use its efforts in securing the establishment of reservoirs in this state. "We endorse the course of Senator Addison G. Foster and Congressmen Wesley L. Jones and Francis W. Cushman. "We favor a law providing for the safeguarding of all machinery, places and appliances in mills, factories, or other workshops of this state where the character of such dangerous machinery, places or appliances will so permit, with adequate penalties for the violation of such laws, and such other and additional legislation as may be necessary to carryout and enforce the principle here involved. "We also favor an eight-hour labor law on state and federal work, excepting in cases of emergency. "We favor practical legislation for the improvement of public roads of the state and the advancement of the good roads movement. "We are in favor of the passage by the next legislature of an anti-pass bill in compliance with the provisions of our state constitution. "We pledge an economical administration of state and county affairs." Respectfully submitted by the chairman. "We are in favor of the passage of a bill by the next legislature establishing a railroad commission, to consist of three members, to be appointed by the governor, no more than two to be taken from the dominant political party, said commission to be clothed with power to regulate freight and passenger rates, to determine the value of railroad property for purposes of assessment and taxation to prevent unjust discriminations, and to inquire and remedy such abuses as may be found to exist." CONVENTION SENDS TELEGRAM TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT The Republicans of the State of Washington, assembled in convention in the city of Tacoma, congratulate you upon the providence which has preserved your life for the work and labors to which you have consecrated yourself. They express their unqualified approval of the domestic policy of your administration and as representatives of the dominant party in this state, commend the wise and vigorous course of the administdation in the foreign affairs of this nation with reference to the Philippine question. The Republicans of the State of Washington are in entire sympathy with you in your brave stand for the common people of the United States and pledge to Theodore Roosevelt their support and votes for 1004. Justice of Peace—G. A. C. Rochester, W. Summerfield: 45th dist. C. B. convention adjourned to prompt some one to ask: "Has the convention stole your thunder, Dave?" Dave, it is surmised, was the only true sore man that left the convention. Ex-Governor Miles C. Moore, though a delegate to the convention, wanted it distinctly understood that he was out of politics and stood ready and willing to administer the water cure to the Seattle editor who wrote that he was a candidate for the United States senate. Mr. Moore seems no older than on former convention occasions, and if he keeps attending conventions the first thing he knows he will be dead up against some kind of a nomination. . . . There was not much senatorial talk about the convention, though Mose Gottstein wiggled about among the delegates, talking Preston, until every time he went by the gang looked the other way and smiled, but Mose did not seem to catch on. C. A. Lucas, of Portland, Oregon; I. F. Morris, of Seattle; Andrew R. Black, of Seattle; John H. Ryan, of Seattle; D. W. Griffin, also of Seattle, and John F. Cragwell, the well-known Cuban and ex-slave holder, were all visitors to the state convention. Thirteen of Spokane's delegation refused to obey their county convention instructions. The instructions, it must be admitted, were poor, but it was poor politics on the part of the delegates to do other than carry out their convention instructions. Pierce county convention instructed its delegates to work for an elective commission, but despite that 31 out of the 49 voted for an appointive. Perhaps the boys will be able to square themselves with their constituents, but it is very much doubted. Sunday School Lewis, who does politics while pretending to be conducting a Sunday school, was clearly out of his realm in a state convention and stood about among the influential men of the state looking like a glad dog for being allowed to get in. The King county Democrats, in convention assembled, last Friday nominated the following ticket: Sheriff—Ed Cudihee, Seattle. Treasurer—John Schram, Seattle. Auditor—Harry Dresse, Seattle. Superior Judge—G. Meade Emory. Prosecuting Attorney — Fred D. Wood. Clerk—Fred H. Plike, Seattle. Assessor—W. L. Livesly, Vashon. Supt. of Schools—I. B. Rich, Seattle. Coroner—Dr. Will A. Shannon, Seattle. Wilson Steals A March Ex-Senator John L. Wilson, hated above all men by the Turner henchmen in the Spokesman-Review editorial rooms, has stolen a march upon the enemy. He has acquired a minority interest in the Review Publishing Company, the corporation legally responsible for the unclean news down the street, and therein lies the secret of the present troubled days at the Tall Tower. The complete story of the affair runs something after this manner: As an instance of the prosperity that seems to have overtaken the far west, it is currently stated on the streets of Spokane that the Spokesman-Review Publishing Company values one share of its stock, per value $10, at $1,000, and would be willing to pay that amount to secure its cancellation. This offer, it should be explained, does not apply to all the outstanding stock of that corporation, but only to one share now held by one Mr. Sammy Perkins, manager of the Tacoma Ledger, in trust for John L. Wilson. The fact is that Mr. Wilson, always referred to by the Review as "proprietor of the Post-Intelligence," is now one of the proprietors of the Spokesman-Review, having secured control of one share of stock. His holding is not large enough to influence the policy of the Review, but is amply large to cause an immense amount of perturbation on the part of the managers of the news trust. His holdings entitle him to inspect the boows of the corporation, to vote at its elections of trustees and officers, and to have a wee small voice in its councils, and the Review fears that Mr. Wilson will take advantage of the opportunity. Some time since, the Review re-organized its corporation, and re-issued its stock. In so doing, no account was taken of various small holdings in the middle east, the managers evidently intending to leave those shares to Providence. News of one of these holdings reached Mr. Wilson, and Providence, in the shape of Sammy Perkins, promptly took charge of one share of stock. Then the said stock was sent to a prominent attorney of Spokane, with instructions to present it to the Review Publishing Company to be taken up, in order that a new certificate could be issued to Mr. Perkins. The old certificate, properly assigned and endorsed, was presented for exchange early this week, but up to date no new certificate has been issued. It is said that the attorney who presented the stock for transfer was unable to learn the names of the officers of the corporation, or any facts connected with its business, but that the genuineness of the certificate was admitted. The attorney thereupon stated that unless the requisite information was forthcoming at once, or a little before at once, proper proceedings in the courts would be taken to enforce the rights of the "stockholder." Since that time, there has been wailing and gnashing of teeth in the business office of the Review company, for to uncover its methods to Mr. Wilson, even as a stockholder, is certainly a most unpalatable dose. It is said, however, that the Review company, like all really great organizations, knows when it is "up against it" and will take its medicine with as good grace as possible. In the meantime, the price offered for that particular share of stock is said to have gone up to $1,000, but it is not on the market at that, or any other figure, for the owner realizes what it means to be a stockholder of the Review, and to be entitled to a share of the dividends paid, and a voice in all its councils—Spokane Spectator.

If Dugdale wins the penantship of this league he will have to do so by beating Butte in a pitched battle, and a full five-series game at that. If the Filipinos are getting all that the members of congress would have us believe they are, independence to them ought to be an idle dream. The state of Maine has sent the first greetings to President Roosevelt in the shaps of a 29,000 Republican majority, which is unprecedented in an off year. President Roosevelt is home again, after having done considerable swinging around the circles, and at one point narrowly escaping from swinging into eternity. Tacoma may be a greater business center than Seattle, as argue the papers of that city, but she has a darn poor way of showing it to strangers who are visiting the place. An editor is of the opinion that "Satan is the father of lies and therefore the grandfather of liars." Along this line we believe he knows exactly what he is talking about. Next Sunday, September 14, will be the anniversary of the death of the late lamented McKinley, and special services should be held in his memory in every church house in the North on that day. The Ladies' Home Journal is showing its good sense by using a series of Biblical drawings furnished by H. O. Tanner, the noted Negro artist. Even the Home Journal seems to know a good thing when it gets hold of it. Now let the heathen from South Carolina rage as only heathens can do, for the governor of Massachusetts has refused to return a Negro, charged with crime, to South Carolina to be lynched or burned at the stake by those barbarians and ruffians. Outside influences, both on the north and south, are working hard against the ultimate triumph of Washington state as a commercial distributor and internal influences under the fostering care of McBridism seem to be working equally hard along the same lines. Arizona and New Mexico are still clamoring for immediate statehood, which, under ordinary circumstances, they should have, but they will hardly get it until they give the powers that be some tangible assurance that their representatives in congress will be fornist Tillmanism. For Democrats in Illinois or anywhere else to get together on "live issues" may be all well enough to talk about, but when Democrats get together on "live issues" there is danger of there being a few "dead issues" as soon thereafter as the smoke of battle clears away. --- It is estimated that fully 30,000,000 people are living in the United States under prohibition, either by state law or by local option. This is more than a third of the entire population of the republic. The following counties and towns have in the various states enacted prohibition laws: Alabama—In 50 out of 66 counties. Arkansas—In 50 out of 75 counties. California—In 175 cities and towns. Colorado—In 50 cities and towns. Connecticut—In 75 out of 125 towns. Delaware—In fully half of the state Florida—In 30 out of 45 towns. Georgia—The whole of the state except four cities. Illinois—In 650 cities and towns. Indiana—In 140 towns. Iowa—The whole of the state except 23 cities. Kansas—The whole of the state. Kentucky—In 90 out of 119 counties. Pennsylvania—In 600 cities and towns and 20 counties. Rhode Island—In 20 cities and towns. South Carolina—The whole of the state except ten cities. South Dakota—The whole of the state except a few cities. Tennessee—In 70 out of 96 counties. Vermont—The whole of the states. Virginia—In 55 out of 106 counties. Washington—In 50 towns and cities. West Virginia—In 40 out of 54 counties. Wisconsin—In 300 cities and towns. The colored people of this state have invested in business $14,426,536; own $15,000,000 worth of property, which includes their personal property, is assessed at $17,442,227. The taxes paid amount to $412,870,60 per annum. Virginia also has three substantial banks. The True Reformers Bank of Richmond is one of the best in the land. The Mechanics Bank of Richmond, of which Editor John Mitchel', Jr., is president, is in a flourishing condition. Editor Mitchell, Jr., is a remarkable man. As an editor he has made a national reputation; as the organizer of the Pythian order in Virginia has made a great name as a leader, and as president of the Mechanics bank is winning laurels in the financial world. Colored Candidates for Congress.—The "Booker Washington of Boston," as he has been called, Isaac Benjamin Franklin Allen, formerly of the Governor's Council of Massachusetts, is announced as a candidate for Congress in the Tenth district. Some time ago it was said that he would study for the ministry. He had such a plan in mind, but eventually went into the real estate business. It has been said that there are 2000 colored voters in the Tenth district, but a more conservative estimate is 800. Now the Republicans of a Northern district will have an opportunity to renew their allegiance to the colored people.

Phone Union 24, Deliveries North of Pike Phone Main 588, Deliveries South o Pike --- TALES OF THE TOWN The late Governor Rogers was mistaken when he said "the single tax theory was a fad and would wear cut in about five years," for some of the followers of Henry George in Seattle have been advocating the single tax idea for more than that length of time and apparently have not grown weary o. advancing a cause that is so impracticable, and one might say ridiculous and one that it must be known will never be put into effect. Since the death of Henry George the Seattle single taxers meet once a year to commemorate his memory, and the meeting for 1902 occurred on Tuesday of this week. A number of short addresses were made and much interest was manifested in favor of the vigorous prosecution of a theory that is so much lacking in good judgment and sound common sense that it puzzles the mind to understand how so many apparent y well balanced minds are enlisted in its cause. There is one good thing connected with this fad, however, and that is it is harmless. It does the public no harm and its advocates study the books of George when otherwise they might be shouting Populism, flat money or government grain houses. The single taxers mean well, and we account for them and their work the same as we do for the many other theories that are constantly being presented to the people for endorsement—that they are a fulfillment of Christ's prophecy that false christ, prophets and teachers would follow Him. Good often comes from evil, and the greatest hit they ever made in this state was to enlist the services of our dearly beloved—the late Jim Ham—who went so far as to introduce a single tax measure in congress. This was one of the principle causes that led to his defeat for rejection. He has been replaced by a much better man, and for this much good praise should be given the followers of Henry George. The Tattler, having stumbled upon a set of the rules and regulations of the kangaroo court which are enforced in the county jail, herewith reproduces the same. The rules are a source of much horror to new prisoners, and sheerins have been frequently severely criticised for permitting their enforcement, as new prisoners not inclined to be bullied by a lot of jail ronians are frequently roughly handled by the kangaroo court. It does no good and should be broken up. IN THE KANGAROO COURT OF KING COUNTY, IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON.

Chief Justice. Sheriff. Miss Mabel Walker, of Tacoma, will take part in the Emancipation Celebration. Miss Minnie Brown, of Spokane, the sweetest singer in the state, will be here for the celebration September 22d. Miss Hazel Thompson seems to lead in the contest for "Emancipation Queen," although several other young ladies are in the contest and it may be a close finish. Mrs. Jerry Flowers and Miss Helen Stafford of Spokane have been in the city for a few days, the guest of Mrs. Ben Williams. They returned home Wednesday voting Seattle the "best ever." C. E. Lucas is in the city fresh from 'Frisco, where he has been enjoying the sights from the standpoint of a visitor. Seattle's is ever ready to welcome Mr. Lucas and he has a host of friends here. Mt.

This now is the second house that Woods has secured for "the boys" through his efforts. If it is true, "That the way to a man's heart is through his stomach," then J. E. Hawkins, the well-known local attorney, has reached the hearts of at least thirteen good fellows. Monday night at his palatial residence on Summit avenue there assembled as his guests a jolly lot of fellows to imbibe and enjoy all the good things that go with an up-to-date "stag." All who enjoy Mr. Hawkins' friendship know of his hospitality and to say that he makes a host within himself is true in its most literal interpretation. That there were thirteen present seemed to cut no figure and no reference was made to the unlucky number. Frank Bellamy and Pete De Beau were given the places of honor. The following gentlemen were present and remained till the "owl car" was announced. C. E. Lucas of Portland, J. T. Gayton, J. Nelson, J. Fort, B. F. Tutt, John Robinson, F. N. Harris, W. Hill, P.

Mrs. Ben Williams and Mrs. Frank Wilson tendered an informal reception at the residence of Mrs. Ben Williams, 509 rear Seventh Avenue on Monday evening to Mrs. Jerry Flowers and her niece, Miss Helen Stafford, of Spokane, Wash., who are visiting in the city.

IRA BRONSON, Attorney for Plaintiffs. Office and Post Office Address: Rooms 77-80 Safe Deposit Building, Seattle, Ring County, Washington. The south bound train on the Illinois Central railroad neared Cairo. The hour had almost reached midnight. Drowsy passengers slept in the many various positions that can be assumed only by persons trying to sleep in comfort in a day coach. Every seat was taken and to hasty observation the coach was wrapt in slumber, closer notice and there would be found a young woman in the rear of the car who still sat in drowsy wakefulness. She appeared to be about thirty years of age. The beauty of her face lay more in the expression of her features than the form of the same, for they savored entirely too much of the masculine to be beautiful from a feminine point of view. There was something lofty, however, and kind—a something that inspired ready confidence, to be seen in the lady's face as she shifted her position on the seat which she occupied alone, or restlessly turned her head, as she did quite frequently now, as if swayed between conflicting emotions. Such was the atmosphere of the day coach when Cairo was reached. A lone traveler boarded the train. He paused at the doorway, swept the coach with lightning glance, then passing down the isle stood in the rear. He was tall beyond the ordinary, stalwart, yet strangely graceful of carriage. His eyes were fine, bright, expressive, splendid eyes. His features were good—betokening strength and determination. There was that unmistakable repose of body and play of features about the man which comes only from education and refined surroundings. One sized him up as being a man blest in his noble manhood, and yet (and that "and yet" in America means much) the color of his face was black, quite black. The term "Mulatto" did not reach him, for he represented the blackest species known as the Afro-American. Only a few moments had he thus stood when the wakeful lady cleared a part of her seat, beckoned him and in clear soft tones, said: "Will you share my seat?" The stranger acknowledged the kindness of the offer and had soon made himself comfortable. But he, too, proved to be quite wakeful; the lady noticing the same, entered into converse with him as does the usual traveler who avails herself of the freedom of conversation which traveling inspires and custom permits. The stranger was naturally reticent and yet he felt drawn toward this young woman and to her of his plans for the future as if he had known her for some length of time. The lady found that he was a photographer by trade making his first Southern trip with the view of opening a studio in the town of W——. Freely he talked with her regarding the prevailing prejudice of the South which would necessarily cripple his business. Photography was his business in life. He had made a success at it and wished to go South for reasons he did not express. And now prejudice, like a grim monster, stared him in the face, yea, even threatening in time to take the very bread of life from him. He was sorely perplexed. Perchance the soft, sympathizing voice of the lady touched the heart of this reticent man when it was full almost to its utmost and he poured into her ears a plan by which he hoped to outwit the inhabitants of W——, and yet make his business a paying one. Day had now broken and the coach to some extent cleared, the stranger was enabled to secure a seat to himself. The day passed and he and his newly-made acquaintance did not exchange another word. When they neared the town of W—“the lady advanced to his seat and quietly yet firmly said to him: “Do you still propose to carry into execution the plan of which you spoke last evening?” “I do,” the man answered. “Let me see if I correctly understand you: Your name is Thomas W. Turner. Now, you propose to hire some white stranger whom you may meet in the vicinity of W—to go with you to that town and to all intents and purposes be T. W. Turner.” “I do,” replied Turner. You will advance the means to start the business. Nothing will be asked of T.W. Turner but to assume to be what he is not—a photographer.” “You have expressed it correctly,” was the reply. “You will pay him a per cent you named of the amount received above expenses?” “I will,” said the now somewhat puzzled Turner, for he could not follow the trend of his companion's questions, and gazed at her in unfeigned surprise when she further asked: “You want a white man for this business. Would a white woman answer your purpose as well?” “You mean,” began Turner. “That I would like to take up your offer—I would be T. W. Turner. I have thought it over carefully HISTORIC AFRO-AMERICANS Phyllis Wheatley was born in Africa and was brought to America in 1760. She was bought from the slave market by John Wheatly of Boston, and soon developed remarkable acquisitive faculties. In sixteen months from her arrival she could read English fluently. She soon learned to write and also studied Latin. She visited England in 1774 and was cordially received. After returning to Boston she corresponded with Countess Huntington, the Earl of Dartmouth, Rev. George Whitefeld and others, and wrote many poems to her friends. She addressed some lines to General George Washington, which were afterwards published in Pennsylvania Magazine for April, 1776. General Washington wrote a courteous response and invited her to visit the Revolutionary headquarters, which she did and was received with marked attention by Washington and others. Her poem on "Various Subjects, Religion and Moral," published in London in 1773, and republished as the "Negro Equalled by Few Europeans," two volumes, Philadelphia, 1801. The letters of Phyllis Wheatley were printed in Boston in 1864, collected from the proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Benjamin Banneker was born November 9, 1731, near Ellicotts Mill Md. Both his father and grandfather were native Africans. He attended a private school which admitted several colored children along with the whites. Although his early educational facilities were scanty, young Banneker soon gained a local reputation as a miracle of wisdom. In 1770 he constructed a clock to strike the hours, the first to be made in America. This he did with rude tools and a watch for his model as he had never seen a clock. Through the kindness of Mr. Ellicott, who was a gentleman of cultivation and taste, he gained access to his valuable collection of books and was thus inducted into the study of astronomy. In this study he gained great proficiency and constructed an almanac adopted to the local requirements of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland. This was the first almanac constructed in America; and was published annually from 1792 to 1806, the year of his death. It contained the sun and moon, the motions, places and aspects of the planets; the rising and setting of the sun, and the rising, setting, southing, place and age of the moon, etc., and is said to have been the main dependence of the farmers in the region covered. He lived mainly from the royalty received from this publication. Bannecker sent a copy of this almanac to Thomas Jefferson, which elicited a flattering acknowledgment on the part of the philosopher statesman. Bannecker assisted the commissioners in laying out the lines of the District of Columbia. A life of Bannecker was published by Hon. J. A. B. Latrobes, Baltimore, 1845, and another by J. S. Norris, 1854. That Thomas Jefferson believed in the intellectual capacity of the Negro and appreciated the force of the argument that the treatment of this race found justification in its assumed low state of mental possibility is revealed by his letter to Benjamin Bannecker, the black astronomer. Sir. I thank you sincerely for your letter of the 9th instant and for the almanac it contained. Nobody wishes more than I do to see such proofs as you exhibit that nature has given to our black brethren talents equal to those of the other colors of men, and that the appearance of a want of them is owing merely to the degraded condition of their existence, both in Africa and America. I can add with truth that nobody wishes more ardently to see a good system commenced for raising the condition both of their body and mind to what it ought to be as fast as the imbecility of their present existence and other circumstances which cannot be neglected will admit. I have taken the liberty of sending your almanac to M. de Condorcet, secretary of the Academy of Sciences at Paris and member of the Philanthropic Society, because I considered it as a document to which your color had a right for their justification against the doubts which have been entertained of them. I am with great esteem, sir, your most obedient humble servant. Lemuel Haynes was born in Hartford, Conn., July 18, 1758. His father was an African, his mother a white woman. He received his honors do ```markdown ``` THOMAS JEFFERSON and believe under your instructions I can to all appearances superintend the gallery successfully." The train whistled for W——. Turner looked, at the woman fixedly. Her gaze met his in a business-like manner. Her offer was made straightforwardly. Time was short. "I accept your offer, madam," said Turner, as he gathered up his traps. The porter called off the station, the train slackened speed, stopped and from it alighted a young woman, just behind her an apparent servant, who bore her luggage. It was not long before the studio of T. W. Turner was doing a paying business. The inhabitants of W—— were not a little surprised on finding out that T. W. Turner was a woman. They were almost too far South to appreciate independent business enterprises in a lone woman. But a superior grade of work soon covered their slight objections and even her competitors acknowledged their leader. No remark was made that she had for her helper a silent black man, who moved in quick obedience to her commands. Strange, yet none noticed that the man fixed the plates arranged the chairs, decided on the lights, focused the camera, and, in short, made the photographs. The lady stood by, oft times suggesting some slight change which did not materially affect the picture, delivered the work when Tom, as the man was called, brought it to in her, and received the pay for the same. While the stranger who would never have had "that man" make a picture for him just because he "disliked the whole race of them," or "believed in keeping them in their places," or, as in a few instances, had no real objections, only that it was not a popular thing to do, smiled and praised Tom's superior class of work that he had received at the hands of Miss T. W. Turner. But when the doors closed for the day the servant again became matsher, received the money, read letters, made out checks, and after carefully going over each detail of the business, bade the lady good-night and sought his own apartments. These two whom fate had so strangely drawn together seemed to understand each other and worked in perfect unison. But the man was an extremely reticent man and since that first night on the train confined his conversation to their business only, while the lady proved to be one of those busybodies, whose business filled her whole life. And so things went on until summer, when Tom's only girl came home from school. Virginia was her name, and she was a sweet, dear girl, just budding into womanhood. The boarding school in the far North had done much to soften, refine and finish what the anxious father had begun in her training since the early death of her mother. Virginia often visited the studio. At times she talked with her father as he worked in his developing room; at other times she would talk with Miss Turner, telling her of her school life, of her plans and hopes for the future as only a young school girl can. They both seemed to like to have her with them. Her presence brought sunshine into this otherwise rather silent establishment. September and the fall work had opened up splendidly. Tom was quite rushed with the work at the gallery, and besides had gotten Virginia ready to return to the boarding school. "Only one more day yet and then off to school again," said Virginia, with all the eagerness of the average school girl to return to school after the vacation and with the same blind confidence in the future as has the average citizen upon his own plans bent. But later that day, with the impulsiveness of youth, she climbed a ladder in the gallery to hang a picture "to surprise father." The ladder slipped, there was a heavy fall, a deep moan, and Virginia opened her eyes many hours later to find herself in a dangerous condition. The doctors agreed that it was some internal trouble, caused by the fall, which they could not locate. How quickly it all happened—Virginia's preparation for school, the fall, the brief illness and her departure for her eternal home, the house not made with hands, of which she used to sing in her clear, girlish voice. Tom sat one evening in grateful remembrance of what a sympathizing friend Miss Turner had been to him through it all, when she appeared before him, hat on, satchel in hand, as if starting on a journey. "Tom," she began, "spare a few minutes. I am going away this evening—going to pass out of your life as quickly and quietly as I entered it, and there are some things that I would say to you before I leave." She paused a moment, and without waiting for Tom to answer continued: "I shall first tell you the brief story of my life. gree of A. M. from Middlebury College in 1794. After completing the theological course he preached in various places and settled in West Rutland Vt., in 1779, where he remained for thirty years and became one of the most popular preachers in the state. He was characterized by a subtle intellect keen wit and eager thirst for knowledge. His noted sermon from Genesis 1 and 4 was published and passed through nine or ten editions. His controversy with Hosea Ballou became of world-wide interest. The life of Lemue Haynes was written by E. Cooley, New York 1848 Ira Aldridge was born at Belair, Md., about 1810. There is some dispute as to the exact composition of his blood, some claim that he was of pure African descent, while others contend that he was of mixed extraction. He was early brought into contact with Mr. Kean, the great tragedian, and in 1726 accompanied him to Europe. Mr. Kean encouraged his dramatic inspiration, and on one occasion, at least, permitted him to appear as Othello while he himself took the part of lago. As an interpreter of Shakespeare he was very generally regarded as one of the best and most faithful. He appeared at the Covent Garden as Othello, in 1833, and in Surrey theatre in 1848. On the continent he ranked as one of the greatest tragedians of his time. Honors were showered upon him wherever he appeared. He was presented by the King of Prussia with the first class medal of arts and sciences, accompanied by an autograph letter from the Emperor of Austria; the Grand Cross of Leopold; a similar decoration from the Emperor of Russia, and a magnificent Maltese cross, with the medal of merit, from the city of Berne. Similar honors were conferred by other crowned heads of Europe. He was made a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts and Sciences and holder of the large gold medal; member of the Imperial and Arch Ducal Institution of Our Lady of the Manger in Austria; of the Russian H of Vermasling of Riga; honorary member of the imperial Academy of Arts and Sciences in St. Petersburg and many others. Aldridge appeared with flattering success in Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Breslau, Vienna, Pesth. The Hague, Dautzic, Königsburg, Dresden, Berno, Frankfort-on-the-Main, Gracow, Gotha and numerous other cities in the leading parts of the standard plays of the times. He was an associate of the most prominent men of Paris, among whom was Alexander Dumas. When these two meet they always kissed each other and Dumas always greeted Aldridge with the words "mon confre." Aldridge died at Lodz, in Poland 1867. Col. George W. Williams was born in Pennsylvania in 1849. He was educated in public and private schools and completed his theological training at West Theological Seminary. His "History of the Negro Race in America," is the sole existing authority on the subject of which it treats, and forms, without doubt, as valuable literary monument as any yet left by a colored man.

When the Civil War broke out my father and two brothers enlisted. The three of them fell the first year. My mother was almost broken-hearted, and when reinforcements were called for she dressed me, the only remaining boy of the family, in girl's clothes and moved to another state. My hair gradually grew long, and at the close of the war I still retained my skirts." "Do you mean that you are," began tom. "God help me, a man!" said his companion. "When I met you on the train I had never been closely associated with a refined colored person and took up your offer simply to study you. You yourself can scarcely know better than I how cruel are the lines of prejudice with which you are bound. You are a worthy man with all the God-given powers of a noble manhood, and yet your face is observed to be black and you are a man no longer. No one knows or can ever better know than I how unjust this is. You took me, a person unknown, and, Tom, I will be frank with you and yet true to myself. Your inferior from an educational and business standpoint. My face is white and the public see in me at once the merit which you could never have shown simply because they would have refused to look. Yours has been a hard task. I have watched the master of this studio not a little. Never did I command you to arrange the room in the customary tone of voice that the situation seemed to demand; but I saw you choke down the spirit of independent manhood that lunged as if to break its bounds, I knew what it meant for you to stand meekly by and see another rule in the place that was so fitly yours. The chains are indeed galling. I pray God to help those who are compelled to appear to be what they are not, and may He be equally merciful to those who dare not appear to be what they really are." "Then," continued Tom's companion, "a change came into my life. Your daughter came. You had never told me that you had a daughter, and it would have been better for me if I had never know it, for, Tom, believe me, with all the fervency of a man's strong nature, I loved your daughter Virginia. Never till I knew her did these skirts be irksome to me; never before did I wish to declare myself a man. I adopted them when a mere lad and they had become a part of my life. I do not believe, however, I could ever have had the courage to tell her what I have told you. And my love for her was so great that it rendered me quite unhappy. You saw me bending over her sick bed with woman-like devotion. You little knew what a p ease it gave me to administer to her slightest want. When I crossed her cold hands over the bosom which never even held in its remotest corner one thought of love for me who loved her so deeply, the lamp of my life went out. I shall leave you now. You do not even know my name, and I wish to pass entirely out of your life. "Tis bettire so. I shall never leave off my skirts, but know that somewhere in this busy world you have a sincere well-wisher—a man who is in sympathy with you because he understands." The two men clasped hands. Tom kindly rested his fine eloquent eyes that spoke more than words upon his companion's face. Such a face, so expressive with conflicting hopes and fears, with doubts and unrest, yet so full of love and kindness, shining so brightly from tender thoughtfulness for others. Just a moment they thus looked into the depths of each other's hearts, as it were, then Tom's companion slowly drew the hand he held toward him and after tenderly pressing it between his own dropped it suddenly. There was a rustle as of a woman's skirts trailing over the carpeted floor, a door was heard to open and close gently as if a woman had passed beneath its portals, and Tom was alone. Not many were surprised that Miss T. W. Turner's hired man Tom still ran the gallery after she closed out her business. Many said he had finally learned the trade off her, and so partly from the force of habit and partly because they liked his work the most of their usual customers found their way to his studio. These had their followers, and Tom's work gradually increased till it was quite as much as he could do alone. "Do you have 'that man' do your work?" some stranger from further South yet would ask. "Oh, yes," the inhabitants of W—— would say; "he makes splendid pictures and we know him, you see." The question is: Did they ever really know him? The attraction at the Grand next Sunday and Monday evenings will be that really funny musical comedy, "McCarthy's Mishaps," introducing Barney Ferguson, John Mack, Caron and Herbert and one of the greatest companies of farce comedy and vaudeville stars ever put together, new scency, music, costumes and electrical effects have been secured for this season. Ferguson and Mack and Caron and Herbert should be given the praise generous and unlimited of having put before the play-going public a skit full of wit, one that is excruciatingly funny and one which, above all else, is something strikingly original. But not content with this liberality they have surrounded themselves with a company of first-class talent, numbering among its members so many good vaudeville people that it selves the mystery as to why more artists of merit are not appearing on the programs of the regular vaudeville houses. They have all evidently joined the Ferguson and Mack, Caron and Her bert ranks. Among them will be found Jas. E. Rome and Marguerite Ferguson --- [Image of a man in a tuxedo with a bow tie].

Robert. Fitzsimmons, the greatest and most popular fighter that ever set foot on American soil, will formally open the season of the Seattle theater Sunday night in his own play, "The Honest Blacksmith." The play is a comedy drama, written around certain occurrences that actually came to pass in his ring experience. His wife and son, "Bob," jr., appear with him, and they are supported by a strong company, many of whom are clever specialty artists. In one scene of the play he has proven that he has not forgotten his old trade of blacksmithing by making a horseshoe and shoeing a horse in full view of the audience. Bob has an excellent voice and when he sings a comic song entitled "When He's Full," he makes the hit of the evening. Another scene is an exact reproduction of his training quarters, and after a three-round go with his sparring partner he treats his auditors to a bag ```markdown ``` --- punching exhibition that it little short of wonderful. The sensational situation of the play is that of the vision scene in the final act, in which the fighter's devoted wife dreams of her husband's victory.

Beginning with Sunday night "The Honest Blacksmith" will run through out the week.
