Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society VOL. IX., NO. 33 POLITICAL POLITICAL POT - PIE [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit, facing slightly to the right.] W. T. SCOTT, Who Succeeded W. S. Fulton as Prosecuting Attorney. Changes among county officials last Monday was general in all of the counties in the state. In many instances county officials began to serve out their second terms and in such cases the routine of the office continued in the same manner as for the past two years. In the official roster of King County there were four distinct changes. W. T. Scott, a Republican, succeeded Walter S. Fulton, a Democrat, as prosecuting attorney; John W. Peter succeeded W. A. Bailey as county assessor; Peter W. Wright succeeded Clarence L. White as county surveyor, and Charles Baker succeeded George N. Gilson as county commissioner from the first district, the other officials of the county succeeded themselves and began the serving of their second terms. At present there is but one Democrat official in King County, Edward Cudihee, who has twice been elected sheriff, despite the fact that the county is overwhelmingly Republican. --- At the state house in Olympia there was but one change among the officials, Judge Hiram E. Hadley succeeding Judge John B. Reavis as a member of the supreme court. Judge Hadley has served two years as supreme judge as an extra member created by the legislature two years ago to clean up the docket witch was very much overcrowded. Politically speaking, the personel of the supreme court bench at present is confined solely to the Republican family. Judge Reavis, the only Democrat that has ever held a place on the supreme bench, retired last Monday, leaving the official roster of the state completely in the hands of the Republicans, though a Democrat governor was elected two years ago. The legislature which convened last Monday is now an actual thing and is doing business at the old stand introducing new bills, laying political wires and doing such other things as go to make politicians. Contrary to all expectations, Hon. W. H. Hare, of Yakima county, was elected speaker of the house, thus defeating Hon. R. B. Wilson, from Kittitas county, groomed by the Preston forces. Mr. Hare has been prominent in both county and state politics for a number of years and he is one of the leading citizens of one of the most prosperous counties in the state of Washington. He is not lacking in ability and is said to be friendly to the railroad commission bill or at least he was elected on that platform. ```markdown ``` The senate met and without opposition elected Dr. J. J. Smith president of the senate. Dr. Smith hails from King and was nominated and elected on a platform which did not refer to the railroad commission bill and it is highly probable that he is bitterly opposed to the passage of such a bill and will use his influence both as senator and as president of the senate to prevent the passage of such a measure by the eighth legislature. In this connection it might be said that King county fared well in the distribution of the legislative patronage, both in the senate and the house of representatives. Two former members of the house of representatives sought and were successful in getting positions in the present legislature in the persons of C. W. Gorham, of Snohomish, and Storey Buck, of Spokane, showing that a taste of legislative experience is hard to satisfy. Today the State of Washington faces a condition critical in the extreme. King County—possessing one-fifth of the entire population, a great part of the wealth, and containing the leading city of the state, is in a semi-helpless condition, as to its strict political status. With a Senator and one representative from a rival and SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1903 * * * * * * intolerant city, another representative from a distant section of the state, and, thank political fortunes, a budding young congressman, at last, from this city, soon to stand as a power in the halls of congress, surely Seattle stands ill at ease in the face of great problems for the future requiring governmental cooperation. ... Today the state is on tiptoe awaiting the outcome of political trades, possible treachery, and monied convince, in the effort to choose another U. S. Senator. Seattle has a candidate, and by all the rights of political justice—if there be any—is entitled to the position. It may be true that King county is in a great measure responsible for her present position before the country, but she has been punished severely, until today she stands so closely allied with matters of governmental importance, that to deny her the right to equal representation with any other section of the state is akin to copartnership with enemies of the state. The Souvenir Number of The Seattle Republican is now on sale at the news stands and stationery stores of the city. It contains 200 half tones and is handsomely bound with a frontpiece that leads anything that has been issued by any Seattle publication of this season. Brief review sketches of Seattle's prosperity and not burdened with complicated statistical figures, yet giving a bird's eye view of what the city has done, commercially speaking, for the past year are prominent features. The political history of the state is highly interesting and will bring to your mind pleasant reminiscences of days of yore. Persons desiring a number of copies can secure them by writing or visiting the office, 1414 Second Avenue, A. W. Denny Building. THE NINTH CAVALRY BRAVES. There is no regiment in the regular army of the United States that has done more service for their country than the Ninth Cavalry. This stalwart regiment has fought more battles on the Western plains with the Indians than any other in the country. Their humane treatment and firmness have done much toward effecting the civic advancement of the remaining tribes. Charges of barbary or abuses of privileges as United Statees soldiers were never preferred against this regiment. Their stay in camp or field of battle among the Indians was not demoralizing but elevating and helpful. When President McKinley called these frontier and seasoned soldiers from the front in their own country to the front in Cuba, no regiment made any more enviable record than they. Their gallantry, bravery and general fighting efficiency were the admiration of their own and foreign countries. Scarcely had the din of battle hushed on Cuban soil before they were called to the far Orient. Their conduct there was as it has been since its organization. The Philippine campaign out of which they have recently come is marked by the brilliant achievements of this regiment. They are now stationed in Monterey and the Presidio, and every honor shown any loyal veteran should be shown them. Their conduct and general intelligence should be emulated by the white soldiers whose conduct keep the neighborhood in which they camp in constant terror. Over one of the companies of the regiment is Capt. Young, a regular graduate of West Point.—San Francisco Independent. It is learned from the Associated Press that C. A. Hughes, proprietor of the Irroquois Club, Spokane, shot and instantly killed an ex-bartender of the club, who had been fired by Hughes. The bartender, if reports be true, became incensed at being discharged and made an effort to do Hughes bodily harm, but the latter was too quick for him and shot him dead on the spot. It seems to be a clear case of self defense though this is only speculative so far as the facts are known at this office. --- CURRENT COMMENT NEW YORKERS BY ADOPTION. Afro-Americans for Roosevelt.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 ICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS COMMENT Afro-Americans for Roosevelt. If President Poosevelt could have overheard the many nice things said about him by the Afro-Americans of Tacoma at a public meeting held in the Allen A. M. E. Church January 12th, concerning his attitude and utterances on the "color line" question recently expressed in a letter to a South Carolinian, it would have made his heart beat glad even if there were not to exceed a hundred or more persons in the gathering, for the president is a man who seems to appreciate earnestness of purpose and good intentions in his fellow men and the meeting was not lacking in either of these admirable qualities. The gathering was presided over by Rev. S. J. Collins, while H. P. Lawhorn acted as secretary. After a number of enthusiastic speeches had been made by men well able to do so on any public question a committee consisting of George P. Riley, D. A. Moodey and H. P. Lawhorn was selected to prepare resolutions covering the subject matter. The resolutions reported by the committee were unanimously adopted and were as follows: Was Heartily Endorsed. "Whereas, we heartily endorse the action of President Roosevelt in the bold and manly stand he has taken to eliminate the race question from the body politic of this country, and in recognizing the 'manliness in man wherever found' regardless of race or color; and, "Whereas, he has declared he will not 'shut the door of opportunity upon any good man merely upon the ground of race or color;' and, "Whereas, we endorse the wise position he has taken in behalf of Dr. Crum, of Charleston, S. C.; and, "Whereas, we commend him for his bold and courageous stand in behalf of law and order and the position and investigation to protect Mrs. Minnie Cox, postmistress, in her lawful, vested rights; therefore, be it "Resolved, That in our president, Theodore Roosevelt, we have a man who will be known in history as a ripe scholar, a sincere philanthropist, an ardent and consistent lover of liberty and a defender of the right. "Resolved, As has been said of another in his efforts to establish liberty in America, that he has given a free construction to the original constitution for the purpose of securing right and justice to all who were within its jurisdiction, and the powers of a constitution may well be construed liberally in the cause of right and justice, but they can never be too much circumscribed in the service of wrong and oppression. "Resolved, therefore, That we heartily endorse President Roosevelt and the bold and manly stand he has taken in behalf of the Negro race, and a broader citizenship built upon 'high character and good capacity,' and recognizing the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." A number of earnest and eloquent addresses were made in support of the resolutions, short speeches being made by Rev. S. J. Collins, George P. Riley, D. A. Moody, H. P. Lawhorn, Attorney Lawrence Sledge, E. W. Payn, Miss Mabel G. Walker, Mrs. Viola Rudd, Mrs. Thompson, Paul Ury, Lewis Chase, Mr. Simmons and Mr. Stallworth. Much enthusiasm was manifest throughout the speaking. Some of our subscribers have let a new year begin to grind out without paying for their last year's subscription, which is not right.

Patrichenrywinston is again in the public eye with another flop. When, oh when, will he just fly away. Paragraphing may not be the Ta- coma Ledger's strong point, but car- tooning does seem just about its size. Uncle Sam is the father of quite a few brand new gubernatorial sons, all of whom were born during the week just ending. Ankeny is said to want an early caucus; Preston wants just the op: posite and Wilson wants nothing but ‘an opportunity to “saw wood.” Some of the pillars of Seattle's com- mercial prosperity can be readily seen »- you but glance at the frontispiece of the souvenir number of the Seattle Republican. A few indictments from the grand jury would certainly relieve the public suspense and would likewise give some tangible evidence of something doing on Profanity Hill. ee Thanks awfully to the many verbal compliments already paid us on the general appearance of our souvenir number. It could have been better, but “it looks good to me.” ‘The Prosperity Number of the Ta- coma News is hard to beat. Editor Perkins shows by that number that the News is to hold first place in this state in the afternoon journalistic field. Palmer and Eames under the Piper regime of the P.I, answered to the roll call of betrayers of King county four years ago, and now Carle and Clark, according to the Times, must dance to the same music. Seattle seems to have the same busi- ness hum thus far in 1903 that it had during the year 1902, That oft talked of dull season in other cities seldom if ever puts in its appearance in Se- attle. Your Uncle Fuller is something on a stick when he gets on a hot trail, and he seems to be on just such a trail in hunting for the city printing contract. A saving of $20,000 an- nually should be quite an item for the taxpayers to consider. Congratulations are due the manage- ment of the Daily Bulletin for the ele- gant annual number of its paper sent out last Monday. Business men will find it an excellent reference number and it will prove itself to be a splen- did advertising medium for Seattle it it is only sent East to those interest ed in the growth of Seattle, Apostle Smoote may successfully wefy the president and have himself eleeted to the senate by the Utah leg- islature, but he should not overlook the fact that there is always an after- math, and, we surmise, Brigham H. Roberts could give him some valuable information as to the actual results of an aftermath dose. Hiawatha may have been just such a soul as moved poets to pour out verse after verse of rhythmic rhyme on her nobleness of heart and character, but that Hiawatha on Third avenue near Pike street partakes of none of the good qualities of the original Hiawatha, who was as good as she could be, while the latter seems to be as bad as it possibly can be, ” andrew Carnegie, according to the New York assessment roll, leads all of the millionaires in that city in the value of personal property, his amount- ing to $5,000,000. ‘The other million- aires follow: Russel Sage, $2,000,000; John Jacob Astor, $2,000,000; fohn D. Rockefeller, $2,500,000; J. P. Morgan, $500,000; Howard Gould, $750,000; Cor- nelius Vanderbilt, $250,000; Reginald Vanderbilt, $350,000. Senator Foster's long expected ex planation of the Wilson-Foster com: pact which the Wilson opponents ex: pected to use with telling eect in the present senatorial. scrap, must have gotten Snow bound in the Middle West, ‘as it has not as yet put in its appear. ance. Perhaps the senator is too bus: ily engaged in the preparation of his speech on the “race question” to make the desired explanation. According to a report. recently sent out .rom the national capitol there is at present locked up in the vaults of the United States treasury $620,000, 000, and according to Treasurer Rob: ert’s statement this sum is being added to every day, fully $15,000,000 being gained between October Ist and Jan- uary Ist. The finances of the coun. try, he claims, were never before in as good condition as at present, there being in the neighborhood of $2,352,000 in actual circulation, which is a clear gain of about $150,000,000 since Jan- uary Ist, 1900, It will thuse be seen that this country is enjoying a most prosperous period at present, even though the immortal William Jennings Bryan did predict and continues to predict that the country is going to the bow wows under Republican rule.

A. Mackenzie, who was formerly a well known business man of this city, is "it" in the town in which he lives. Mr. Mackenzie at present resides at Coldfoot, an American town in Alaska, at which place a great many persons who have left the states get cold feet while trying to find a gold mine, and return home with a good deal more experience than money. Judge Mackenzie, as he is known in Alaska, and especially in Coldfoot, is the whole government there. He acts in the official capacity of the United States commissioner, probate judge, justice of the peace, United States deputy marshal, jailor and constable and mining recorder. Coldfoot is considerable on the boom, if reports from there are true, and valuable mining properties are being discovered in that district from time to time, and Judge Mackenzie may yet return to the states and to his friends in Seattle worth a billion dollars. "Seattleites Are Grafters." The Tacoma Ledger charges that nearly every Seattleite is a natural born grafter and concludes, "the city actually owes its prosperity to the tribute it has been enabled to levy from other municipalities." If by rustling for business on the part of Seattleites the Ledger wishes to contort into grafting, then The Republican, on behalf of the Seattleites, pleads guilty to the charge. The business men of Seattle are rustlers, vulgarly speaking, and they send their representatives in every quarter and section of the country in order to get business and they get it. Such may be grafting, but it's legitimate grafting, and that kind of grafting that all cities must do if they wish to keep in the procession of commercial prosperity. If Tacoma would do more grafting along this line and less growling along other lines its prosperity and progress in the commercial world would be more marked and it would to some extent be a commercial competitor of Seattle, whereas as it now stands it's no more a rival of Seattle than is Everett, Whatcom, Kent or Puyallup. Much Needed Reform. Judge Tallman is advocating some other place besides the county jail in which to confine persons charged with insanity and ordered committed to the asylum and children held for commitment to the reform school. The suggestion is a most commendable one and some efforts should be made by the proper authorities to remedy this public evil, for it certainly is an evil and one that bears mighty evil fruit. While the reform school is intended to assume charge of incorrigible youths, its not intended to make criminals out of them in order to make a showing. The youngster who is committed to the reform school is initiated to his change of life by being placed in a cell of the county jail along with hardened criminals, and he soon learns from them that he is no longer a respectable citizen. He is taken to the reform school and there he imparts this to the other boys and girls confined therein and instead of being improved morally from their period of confinement in the school, they generally speaking, leave the institution a good deal worse than before they were ever sent there, and all because they were made criminals in the very outset by being placed in the county jail among real criminals. --- Marie Carrau Lost. All the courts, both federal and state, have now decided against the Marie Carrau will case, by which she laid claim to the entire estate of the late John Sullivan, of this city, who died intestate, which estate will, according to the mandates of the court, now be distributed between relatives of Mr. Sullivan living in Ireland and their attorneys. Miss Carrau has made a hard fight for Mr. Sullivan's fortune on no other grounds than that she was friendly with the man before his death, and she now has her experience only as a reward for the labor and the money she expended in trying to get something for nothing. Some one has well said, "honesty is the best policy," and the rule seems to still hold good. He Pleads Guilty. Edward Clayson, Sr., editor of the Patriarch, a more or less pugnacious periodical, plead guilty last Monday in the federal court to having sent libelous, scurrious and defamatory matter through the mails and was fined by Judge Hanford $5 and costs of court, which was immediately paid and the case canceled. Mr. Clayson seriously differed with his wife in matrimonial affairs years ago and since that time they have lived apart. Evidently Mr. Clayson believed that he was in the right, for since that time he seems to have been very bitter against her and the libelous matter mentioned above was intended for her personally, and with no intention whatever of imposing on the post-office department. Aside from the fact that the editor of the Patriarch is sore at women, who seek divorces from their husbands or vice versa, nevertheless he is an able writer and handles the Queen's English in royal style. If Mr. Clayson would cut out the venom in his writings and deamore with Washington and its early history and with the experience that he has gained from traveling around the world he certainly would be one of the best and most eagerly sought after writers in Seattle. The writer hereof knows that no man in the city is better read or better versed in affairs in general than Mr. Clayson and if he would give up fighting with his wife and other women from whom he differs and confine himself solely to literary productions he would cover himself with much fame and glory in his old age. Bowers' Hotel Bow. Seattle it seems is to have another up-to-date hotel and is to be under the direction of H. C. Bowers, who is at present proprietor of the Hotel Portland, in Portland, but under the immediate management of of A. A. Wright, who will represent Mr. Bowers. A ten years lease has been signed by J. A. Moore, of the Moore Investment Co., which gives Mr. Bowers the possession of the property known as the Lincoln Flats, which will be converted into a first class hotel. This means that the Denny Hotel, on the hill, will not be opened this year, nor perhaps next year neither, especially as a hotel. Seattle is sadly in need of more hotel accommodations and anything looking forward to that end should be hailed with delight by Seattle people, for she loses a great many good things in the way of getting conventions on account of the fact that she has not the proper hotel accommodations to entertain them. Mr. Bowers is said to be a splendid success as a hotel man, and with such a building as the Lincoln Flats he will have ample opportunities to show Seattle what he can do along this line. Chickens Come Home to Roost. (Communicated.) Many a time and oft have the big Seattle daily papers spread upon their white pages unwholesome overdoses of slime and filth, presumably gathered from the tenderloin district of the city, and, concerning the man of the strong arm, one might be made to believe it was unsafe to appear on the streets after dark, for fear of a hold-up—so very virtuous are our big dailies whenever occasion requires. And the "occasion" is the funny part of the whole matter—if it were not a most serious question on the whole. At times the big papers publish the most sensational diatribes concerning the vice of the city, and they are not at all loathe at times to state that the crime and vice of Seattle exceed that of any other city in the land! No wonder the Secretary of the Navy had his attention called to the supposed state of affairs in this neck of the woods. That the big papers get up on their hind legs and emit most doleful howls! To read them regularly one might well believe, with Damon, that "there is now no more public virtue left in Syracuse!" To the Seattle reader well versed in local affairs, and in politics, these spasmodic attacks upon the morals of the city have some ulterior purpose in view: Either it is an attempt to besmirch the character of some political aspirant or to "get back" at some business man who does not stand pat with the publication assailing him! People who have traveled and who are at all familiar with the moral condition of large cities know of a truth that our papers speak falsely when they state that Seattle's filth exceeds that of any of the prominent cities of the coast or of the East. Respectable people travel the streets and the tenderloin district of our city at all hours, and are never held up nor even insulted. The writer has been in this city many years, and as a newspaper man, has visited nearly all classes of resorts in the city, and never yet has he been assaulted or insulted in any degree. He finds that a man who minds his business and does not invite assault by foolish acts can walk the high and low places of this city without fear or molestation. He has frequently noticed the fact that even in the worst parts of the city, when ladies are obliged to pass—a one or in company—they are seldom accosted, and the case generally occurs that if some drunken tough offers insult to a woman, some other denizen of the under world gives condign punishment on the spot. We have seen more insults offered ladies in the cities of the cultured East than ever happened in the Coast cities. We will wager a sack of flour that a lady, not flashily dressed, and carrying a bundle, may walk through either the old or new tender oin district of this city at any hour before midnight—through the thickest of the crowds of loafers who inhabit those places, and she will not be offered insult, unless, possibly, by someone under the influence of liquor, and in case that does happen, the insultee will get punishment on the spot. Probably neither of the editors-in-chief of the big papers ever visited these places, and therefore are not competent to write of them. They rely most altogether upon the "good stories" written by their fly reporters. Common decency and due regard for the good name of our city ought at least to prompt these papers to publish only that which is true—and sometimes not all of that! After a valiant effort made in behalf of the calling of the Grand Jury, by the Seattle Daily Times, it appears at least a peculiar thing for that paper to do, to editorially give the criminal element pointers as to their action in the giving of testimony—blandly informing them that they need not incriminate themselves. Possibly this is so, but to remind them of the fact is not the part of the public prose cutor. The attempt of a reporter of that paper to show that an effort has been made to bribe a juror—made out of whole cloth—is another of the inconsistencies of that inconsistent daily. The Seattle News-Letter has an illustrated heading which is a good representation of an advanced case of measles. It might be claimed that it is intended as a constant reminder of a raging confetti battle—an atmospheric condition prevailing at the time of the ill-scented Elks' carnival. Which is it. "Sheffy?" Some of the local newspapers which affect to feel that the Assistant Secretary of the Navy has unjustly maligned this part of God's country by proclaiming a bad condition of morals at Bremerton and Seattle, never lose an opportunity to write up—and down—all the stories of crime and debauchery coming to their notice, and to this writer's knowledge, some if not all of these stories are multi-colored when the original is always vivid enough. Both the big dailies have told worse tales about crime in and about Seattle than the Secretary of the Navy has yet dreamed of, Horatio. Chickens with dirty tail-feathers off come home to roost, Colonel.

BROTHER IN BLACK The Afro-American residents of Seattle are looking to the future and during the past year many of them have bought and built comfortable homes. Many of them have lucrative positions and utilize whatever they earn over above their living expenses in paying for property that will in the next decade quadruple in value. Among those who have come under the observation of the writer as having purchased real estate in the past year are: George Selby, J. T. Gayton, Henry Belle, Al. Hughes, L. W. Presto, Peter A. DeBow, G. W. Thompson, J. C. Roberson, George Turner, Richard Davis, Walter Merguson, Barbara Davis, George Hayes, I. F. Norris, S. A. Thorn, Mrs. T. E. Anderson, Wm. C. Miller, J. E. Hawkins, F. T.

Gibson, Henry Brown, Anthony Richardson, James Allen, Frank Strawthers, Rev. Manning, Edward Taylor, Walter Washington, William Jackson, Wm. Teamer, Rev. Shepard, Allen Grant, Henry G. Jones. Real Estate Comment. J. E. Hawkins, the attorney, owns a nice home on Summit avenue, which John F. Cragwell, the barber, has purchased a $2,000 lot and will build a $2,500 home on the same next spring. Walter Merguson, a clerk in the postoffice, built a neat cottage home on Madison street last year, which is well worth $2,500. Mrs. Wm. Grose built an up-to-date flat on her Madison street property last year for rental purposes. The Grose family owns real estate in the city that is easily worth $100,000 in cash. G. W. Thompson, the contractor and builder, erected for himself a splendid home last year, which is valued at $2,500. Walter Washington, the city pound master, finished paying for some very nice property last year in addition to making extensive improvements on his home property. I. F. Norris, the grocer, bought and built during the past year. He lives over his store and is doing a nice business, and his property is worth all of $4,000. John T. Gayton purchased four nice lots on Madison street and will build an up-to-date house this year. J. S. Murry, who is employed at the office of the Seattle Electric Company, finiished a very nice home last year and his property could not be purchased from him for $4,000. Mrs. Susie Revels Cayton bought a home on Capitol Hill and is well pleased with the same. George A. and Will Bailey, two South Seattle barbers, bought a lot and erected a shop thereon for their own use, and the family pays taxes on $3,000 worth of real estate. P. A. DeBow, steward of one of the social clubs of the city, built a nice home last year and paid for the same. It cost him $2,000. W. C. Miller, the plasterer, is perhaps one of the most extensive holders in Seattle dirt among the Afro-Americans of recent arrival. George W. Turner built an elegant cottage last year, which gives him two very nice homes on Madison street that are valued at $3,000. John W. Gibson built a nice cottage near Lake Washington in the Walla Walla addition and he owns real estate in other parts of the city which he could convert into $3,000. Richard Davis built a new home last year and the same is now being rented by him and bringing in a handsome dividend on the money invested. James Allen owns a very nice home and two lots in Brooklyn. He completed the house last year and is occupying the same. Many other Afro-Americans of this city bought and built during the year just closed whose names it has been impossible to get, but all in all it can be very safely said that the colored folk of this city bought real estate worth between $75,000 and $100,000 during the past year, which for the most part they use as homes. AMUSEMENTS AMUSEMENTS "The Tyranny of Tears." Paul Gilmore plays the literary man in the "Tyranny of Tears." Mr. Paul Gilmore will present Haddon Chamber's comedy of temperament, "The Tyranny of Tears" at the Grand next Wednesday and Thursday, supported by a cast of players which Jules Murry picked from the best of New York's society actors and actresses. Mr. Gilmore is handsome, very much in earnest and earned his position as a star in "Under the Red Robe," and as the dashing, impetuous King's Musketeer D'Artagnan, who kills a man in a street brawl and to make amends to the widow proposes to her. In Hadden Chambers' play he takes the part of a literary man, working hard upon the crowning effort of a successful career. Hadden Chambers' novels and dramas have given him a world wide reputation and he has concentrated all his power upon this well known dramatic effort of his which ran for two years in London at the Criterion, with Charles Wyndham as Clement Parbury, the part Mr. Paul Gilmore plays so gracefully. It is a pure wholesome comedy interpreted by an excellent cast of players and has the advantage of being staged by Victor Maples, who staged the original London production. "The Auctioneer." David Warfield will be at the Grand on Sunday, in "The Auctioneer."

Warfield's rise has been very rapid and no actor in America, it may be said without exaggeration, holds a firmer position in the public esteem than does this gifted comedian. His performance in "The Auctioneer" has received the highest praise from the best critics in America, and his appearance is unusually eagerly anticipated by the public.
