Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XI. NO. 30 POLITICAL POT=PIE King county has two candidates for the superintendency of the soldiers' home at Orting in the persons of General George W. Tibbetts of Issaquah and Captain John Taylor of Seattle. This position pays $1,248 per year, and the job lasts four years. Besides the above salary there are quite a number of nice things in the way of perquisites that fall to the lot of the superintendent, and, on the whole, it is considered a very fat plum for the old soldier of the great Civil War, who by this time is becoming rather feeble for active work or commercial enterprises. Then there are hundreds of other old soldiers at the home and the superintendent has an opportunity to live again his old army life, and if there is anything pleasing to the old soldier it is to do that very thing. *** General Tibbetts is the very salt of the earth, so far as his fellow man is concerned, and if Governor Mead could see his way clear to appoint him to the position he seeks, it would give very general satisfaction, not only in King county, but throughout the state, for he has a wide circle of friends in the state, owing to his activity from time to time in Grand Army circles. He served two years ago as a member of the Eighth legislature and made a most acceptable representative and thereby made hundreds of new friends among the prominent politicians of the state. *** Capt. Taylor, who is also an applicant for the superintendency of the Home, is equally as honorable gentleman as his opponent. He has lived in Seattle for many years and during all that time he has been more or less prominent in the affairs of the city. He served for seven years as one of the councilmen for this city and did so with distinction. He, too, has been very active in the Grand Army circles of this city, and among the "comrades" he has a host of friends who are not leaving a stone unturned to have him receive the appointment he seeks. \* \* \* The disposition of the members of the coming legislature seems to lean toward the idea of dividing the state into congressional districts, the opposition of the three present congressmen to the contrary notwithstanding. It is right and proper that the state be divided, as congress has directed, even though it does mean the fall of some politician, who now seems to control the situation, so far as his own selfish interest is concerned. The senatorial aspirants seem to favor the proposition and the railroad interest of the state also favor the move, and it begins to look very much as though it will be done some time during the lifetime of the next legislature, which assembles January 9th. * * * If the state is divided in congressional districts it is very generally conceded that the SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1904 three present congressmen will be defeated for renomination, and should they be renominated, it is very generally believed that Congressman Jones would be overwhelmingly defeated at the polls, as the commission men in Eastern Washington are not very much stuck on him. A well known commission man from that section told a story at Mr. Jones' expense one day this week that will to an extent bear out the above statement. The Railroad Commission stering committee went to Mr. Jones at the last state convention and asked him if he could and would not help the commission forces by giving them some of his Yakima strength. "I can not," was his prompt reply. "My delegation is opposed to a railroad commission and I myself do not believe in in the measure, and, if I should consider to support a commission, it would be an elective instead of an appointive one, and, I therefore, will not permit my delegation to consider the proposition for a minute." The committee got cold comfort from Mr. Jones, but it by chance got into conversation with some of the delegation and learned quite a different story from that already told them and to Mr. Jones' great surprise the delegation voted solidly for the commission on the floor of the convention. It would thus seem that either Mr. Jones was not posted on his delegation or his standing was exceedingly poor with them, and for that reason it is predicted that if he by hook or crook gets another nomination in case the state is distracted he will be defeated by an overwhelming vote. * * * Charlie Sweeney banqueted the Pierce county delegates last Wednesday at the Tacoma hotel, at which banquet Senator Clapp and Senator Rands of Vancouver were present. It would thus seem that if there is not a secret understanding between Sweeney and Foster there is a secret understanding between Foster's supporters and Sweeney which wil bring about the same results in the end. If the Foster forces can be delivered to Sweeney the Pie-maker again repeats, as he did some time ago, King county had as well hang her harp on a willow tree and sing psalms to a dead horse, for Bre'r Sweeney is dar now. * * * As most people have no idea how many Scandinavians there are in this state we hereby present some statistics gleaned from the census of 1900. The population of Swedes was near 60,000, of Norwegians 53,000, of Danes 10,000, of Finns 5,000, a total of 128,000. The total population in the state in 1900 was 518,000, so that nearly one-fourth of the population at that time were Scandinavians or of Scandinavian descent. Since then, however, many thousands have come into this state and we may safely say that about one-third of the population now are Scandinavians, even with the increase of other nationalities and native born. Again, doing a little figuring as to the possible PRICE FIVE CENTS vote-power among these people, we get, by dividing 128,000 with 3 (which, however, we think is rather high, as proportionately there are many more single men among them in this state than in the east), very near 43,000 people with the elective franchise.—Scandia Bulletin. * * * The business men of Seattle are warming up over the prospects of getting a United States senator, and to that end an elaborate dinner was spread before the Piles supporters at the Washington last Wednesday evening, that the world might know King county was for Piles for senator, which was all very well as far as it went. The people of this city and county are all thoroughly convinced of the fact and the committee could use the money more advantageously by winning the outsiders who have the votes with which a senator is elected. The following plea for a united effort is taken from the circular: You are familiar with the humiliation and great financial loss this county, the richest and most populous in the state, has for many years experienced from the lack of representation in the United States senate. We have invested $250,000 in a right of way for the Lake Washington canal. The lack of a senator made this a dead loss up to date. We paid $100,000 to secure the building of a battleship in Seattle, and only this week, on the statement of the Moran Bros. Co., we lost another battleship contract because of the elimination of the 4 per cent differential. Judging by what we were willing to pay for the first contract we have lost $100,000 by a failure to secure this second contract, because we had no senator to look out for our interests. We unquestionably lost $100,000 of an extra appropriation for the federal building for the same reason. We paid $40,-000 of an extra appropriation for the federal building for the same reason. We paid $40,-000 to secure the Magnolia Bluff army post on the understanding that it would be a regimental post. Having no senator, we have been given only a one company post. We have paid thousands of dollars to entertain congressional delegations to try and secure the recognition which a strong voice in the upper house of congress would command for us. The Chamber of Commerce spends annually $5000 to $6000 to send delegations to Washington to make known some of our urgent needs. We have been humiliated, and made the butt of jealousy and discrimination, because we have had no one in the senate to insist upon fair treatment for us. Now we have within our easy grasp the chance of electing a King county man to the senate. With an united legislative delegation from King county the only other essential is a strong display of the old Seattle spirit. When the remainder of the state realizes that King county is united and determined the battle will be won. Therefore we urge that you let no other engagement interfere with your being present at this dinner and thereby help to give an overpowering impetus to the momentuous matter involved. H. C. Henry, C. J. Smith, C. T. Conover, Committee. Curbstone Sketches of the Passing Throng TWO NEW STATES. It seems a foregone conclusion that that section of Uncle Sam's domain now comprising the territories of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory will be consolidated and made a state of and that the Arizona and New Mexico Territories will likewise be consolidated and made another state of. A favorable report to that end by the senate committee having the matter for investigation has been made, and there is hardly any doubt of its final passage. Though much of the territory out of which the two proposed new states are to be made lie contiguous to the South, yet they will partake of none of the cussedness common to that section, and, therefore, their admission meets the approval of not only Republicans, but the North in general. When those territories will have been wiped out the only states from existing territories that will in the future be created will be Alaska and Hawaii. Some day, however, Texas will be cut up into three or four states, Washington will be made two states of and the same thing will happen to Oregon. Texas is unreasonably large and Eastern Washington and Oregon differ so widely from the west halves of these states that it will be convenient to divide them. WHITES MARRY INDIANS. Marriage between the Sioux Indian women and frontier farmers has been largely encouraged by the fact that the Sioux Indian maiden carries with her a neat little fortune. All of the Sioux have been receiving allotments from the government, and on several reservations heirship lands have been sold. The Indian girl who has learned English in government schools and has associated with whites long enough to cast off the more offensive tribal habits, appeals to the average farmer as the sort of woman who can help him in the task of opening the new country. And when money and an invisible mother-in-law are added attractions many of them yield and are proud of it. Our opinion is that marriage is a matter which concerns only the two persons who desire to enter that relation, but there has been such a hullabaloo over the recent marriage of a white man and an Afro-American woman that we thought the above facts proved the position taken in the matter very inconsistent.—St. Paul Appeal. GRAFT AND GAMBLING WANTED. After an expenditure running up into the thousands of dollars of the state's funds trying to send Ex-Mayor Ames of Minneapolis to state prison for high crimes and misdemeanors while in office the state's attorney has abandoned the undertaking and Dr. A. A. Ames goes scot free, and all because the state's attorney's contentions were neither supported or sustained by the people of that community, and Doc Ames, who was once convicted, but released by the supreme court, two subsequent efforts were made to re-convict him, which resulted in hung juries, after Kensington and Rogers-Peet Clothing NOTHING BETTER W. B. HUTCHINSON CO. 1401 Second Ave. 2nd Union St. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the prosecuting attorney seeing the disposition of the people was against him dismissed all of the counts against the prisoner and he is again an "honorable" man. Graft and gambling seem to be a disease common to this age and the citizens are not inclined to punish persons who do those things though there be laws on the statute books forbiding such. The official and political grafter is everywhere and his side partner, the professional gambler, is his shadow and the one seeks the protection of the other. AMERICAN NEGROES REJOICE. It is gratifying beyond expression to the millions of Negroes in this country to learn from the supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias that Assyrians are not Negroes. This decision was handed down by the chancellor in order that those people could become members of that order and, perhaps, swell its greatly depreciated membership. The quesition of the true nationality of the Assyrians arose in South Carolina, where he was denied the right to join the order on account of his dark complexion, which greatly resembled that of the Negro. Those poor beknighted Tillmanic fools can now rest easy, for Charles E. Schively, their supreme chancellor, has decided that they are not Negroes, and what he does not know about raceology seems to be not worth knowing. If, however, the "white folks" of this country think they can stomach that degenerate form of humanity known in this country as the Assyrian then they have a much stronger stomach than the black man, and, in this instance the black man does not envy him a single iota. SHIRT WAISTS TABOOED. The sad news that, "the shirt waist must go," has been sent out from Chicago, which has been decided upon by the dressmakers of that metropolis. The shirt waist is a rather pleasing female adornment and the average man sees no use of murdering it, but it has been so ordered, and, be it. A Chicago lawyer is responsible for the following epitaph for its tomb: "The shirt waist now is buried low; The dressmakers have willed it so. In parlor 'A' of Stratford House, The grave was dug without a mouse To claim attention from the bier Which went to earth without a tear. Shirt waist dough was not enough To buy a shawl or line a muff, And so the lasses of the shears, To fill their tills and sitll their fears, Have struck on things from old Japan To wheedle money from wiley man. 'From Paris, new designs are these,' Said Made Brown, and with a sneeze She cracked a name in Japanese That would have made a Russian freeze. 'The shirt waist is now 'way too slow. We aim to please the mikado. Irregular and splashy, see? The flouncings, so the styles decree, Must match; and, too, the lace, I guess, Is like the goods in this new dress. Gauze and veilings, too, are worn— The greatest combination born. In colors, quiet and most subdued, Golden brown and purple hued, FRIDAY, DEC. 23. 1904 And pinkish shades can touch the brown The chiffon cloths can't be marked down We want the prices kept real hot, To boil the shirt waist in the pot.' DOWIE MADE GOOD. When Alexander Dowie, better known as Elijah II., paid off all of the $400,000 indebtedness against his colony as he agreed to do in one year, he demonstrated beyond a reason of doubt that, the intervention of the courts in business matters frequently bring about just the opposite results from what they set out to do. Receivers were appointed for Dowie's colony at the earnest solicitation of self important attorneys and nervous creditors, against which Dowie solemnly protested, and so sound and sane were his arguments that he won the ear of the presiding judge. He said he could and would run the business better than a receiver, and, if left to him, the entire indebtedness would be paid in one year. The argument sounded good to the creditors and they agreed to give him a chance, but they did so against the advice of the lawyer, who wanted a big legal battle that a fat fee would be their portion. Dowie made good his promise, as has already been said, and outgeneraled the army of heartless, hungry attorneys, and demonstrated to the business men that the courts do not always collect your bills, even though you get your receiver. Fifty cents on the dollar for the creditors from a receiver would have been pronounced excellent, but Dowie, as hundreds of other business, if given time, paid dollar for dollar. LABOR IN THE SOUTH. A general scarcity of labor on the plantations of the South is reported and those land owners, who have raised a cotton crop despite the scarcity of labor, are unable to get the same picked. This labor condition of the South is causing much discussion in economic circles, for, despite the fact that farm labor is scarce in most, if not all of the cities in the South, there are to be found large numbers of practically idle colored folk, who were bred, born and "brought up" on a farm. So much has been said on the subject that Prof. Booker T. Washington has set himself about to solve the mystery. He questioned a large number of colored folk, whom he found idle in the cities, who if living on farms, would be sufficient to almost double the cotton acreage, as to why they preferred to loaf around the cities instead of earning a comfortable living on a farm, and, according, to his own words, he invariable got this answer: "Poor dwelling houses are furnished us; we are created out of our earnings by the landlords; generally no school at all, but when one, a poor place for school, and only two or three months in a year. We are sold into peonage, lynched, whitecapped, kicked and cuffed about worse than the dogs, all of which we bore with patience, hoping it would improve, but it has constantly grown worse, and for that reason patience has ceased to be a virtue. We came to town because some reasonable protection is granted us." Hundreds of thousands of them have come North and they are scattering to the four corners of the earth to escape such brutality. That the Negroes told the truth to Prof. Washington is known to every fair-minded man who has been or lived in the South. That the whites act more as savages than human beings when dealing with the Negro is an undeniable fact and the wonder is that there are any Negroes at all on the farms, and there would not be, if they had any means of escape. The white man berates the Negro as a beast and yet he passes laws making it a penitentiary offense for any one to encourage Negroes to emigrate from the Southern states. How strange they would want to be caged with such beasts, who, according to their reports, never lose an opportunity to attack their women folk or murder the men. The South has so long listened to such blustering brutes as Vardeman, Tillman and Jeff Davis that it is now facing agricultural ruin. The race agitation is wholly without foundation and as false as it is foolish. Vardeman is himself a Negro miscegenationist, only he was too cowardly to legally admit it, and the same is true of a large majority of the white men of the South, who pass laws disfranchising their own children and having them jimcrowed, as though the children could help it because they were their fathers.

It is said that about 120 years ago an American vessel entered Liverpool with eight bags of cotton as a part of her cargo. On the assumption that so large a quantity of cotton above the requirements of the people here this importation was seized as illegal.

REALTY AND BUILDING REVIEW In realty circles it seems that the holidays come in for a part of the time and thought from the busy broker. As one dealer in real estate expressed it, "The real estate business has suffered a little from the approach of the holiday season, but that is only what is to be expected." It cannot be said that there was a slump in the realty market in any way, for prices in every transaction made and pending are such that it guarantees satisfaction to both parties when small differences are eliminated, and these prices continue to be the acme of encouragement to investors. It is always a delightful task to dwell on the growing feature of a new country or city, but in no case does the delight so found "color o'er the face of truth," as evidences of the city's growth are found in the following real estate transactions and proposed buildings: C. A. McKenzie sold three lots at the corner of Third avenue and Clay street to A. Phillips for $15,000. The property was owned by J. Ferguson and includes two corner lots and one inside lot. It is considered a splendid investment by real estate men. C. R. Collins of Seattle and W. W. Chapin of San Francisco bought two lots on the northwest corner of Fifth avenue and Spring street from R. E. Anderson of Tacoma.

Cotton agricultural product remains that since that time our exports of cotton have grown from a small beginning to enormous proportions. In 1830 we exported less than 300,000,000 pounds, and this was nearly forty years after the invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1792. In 1903 our exports of cotton amounted to 3,- 543,000 pounds. Small patches of cotton were cultivated in Virginia in the times of the earliest colonists. The lint was picked from the seed by hand and woven into cloth for domestic use. The fly shuttle was invented in 1750, after which the cotton industry became quite general on a small scale through the Southern states. The spinning jenny was invented in England in 1767. Other inventions followed improving the process of cotton manufacture in this country and abroad, but no mechanical power was employed until 1785 when the first cotton mill was equipped with a steam engine. The cotton gin developed the industry enormously, but in 1810 the total consumption of cotton in this country was only 10,000 bales. In 1815 it was 90,000 bales. In 1850 the mills of this country took nearly 600,000 bales; in 1860 nearly 1,000,000; in 1890 2,325,000 bales; in 1900 3,644,000 bales, and in 1903 nearly 4,000,000 bales. The growth of the cotton industry in this country has been enormous, notwithstanding the great demand for raw cotton for export. America practically controls the cotton markets of the world. Cotton is king among our agricultural products.—Tacoma Ledger. POINTED PARAGRAPHS The first electric light was introduced in sirability has not even a maximum price at that. The lots have 120 feet frontage on both streets and the buildings even now return 14 per cent interest on the price paid. N. H. Overlock of Kent disposed of property between Sixth and Seventh avenues on James street for $28,000. It includes the west 55 feet of lot 7 and a part of lot 6, on which at present stands the building known as Hotel Potter. J. H. Kimball sold a desirable lot on Fourth avenue between Spring and Madison streets for $22,000. The lot has a west side frontage of 60 feet, extending back to alley. The name of purchaser is at this time withheld. Nelson Gainsley disposed of a one-third of lot 5, block 32, of Seattle Tide Lands property, to W. W. Reid for $4200. It seems from the foregoing and from the opinions of local real estate dealers that the interest in local residence property is fast increasing. Many small transfers of lots in newly acquired additions to the city were made. Considerable property in small exchanges were made in the following addition, Day's addition, Eastern addition, Lane's addition, Hazelwood, Hillman City and Green Lake. That residence property should come in for its share of attention is greatly to be desired and in it we find a happy owner, for Seattle is thus growing into a city of homes as well as of business activity. --- that time our exports came from a small beginning nations.

Many large buildings are being proposed and planned for, but the deals are not near enough completed to be given out. The building projects now being considered will materialize by spring so that the air will again hum with the pleasant sound of the construction hammer. Thompson & Thompson are preparing plans for a three-story basement brick building for manufacturing purposes, 60x150 to be erected on First avenue and Utah street, near Connecticut avenue. It will be a substantial building of concrete foundations and will be used by the Star Manufacturing Company. Cost $35,000. The plans are almost complete by Bebb & Mendell for the residence of Frank D. Black of the Seattle Hardware Co. The building will be most conveniently constructed, as well as beautifully modeled and will stand on a choice lot on Queen Anne Hill. Cost about $10,000. Among the smaller residences we mention the following noteworthy ones: Robert Anderson has filed plans for the ertction of a two-story frame residence at 2102 First avenue. Cost will be $3000. Charles Nordby filed plans for a one and a half story frame residence at 2044 Eastlake avenue. Cost $1400. A. C.

Port Arthur is still falling, only it has adopted the old Roman fashion of doing it Merry Christmas to you and yours, and may the coming week of festivities be one long remembered. Even the child home has its skeleton in closet, which is giving Mrs. Ryther and her associates untold worry just now. Some of our readers to whom bills were sent evidentl were too busy buying Christ- mas presents to respond. We were not.

Attorney Ronald says: ‘‘Orientals love red hair.’? Now, J. T., we are from the same place as you, and ‘‘you’ll have to show me.”’ Lawson’s frenzied finance, Mrs. Chad- wick’s savings securities and Oregon’s fa- mous land frauds are closing the year in a flame of excitement if not glory. Dowie’s contention of propheticness may not be seripturally correct, but he prophecied pretty well about his ability to pay the in- debtedness of Zion off at a certain time. “Ten-cent theatres’’ are no more responsi- ble for Frances Price’s downfall than dollar theatres. Evidently Frances’ mother is a “bad actor,’’ and she is following in her footsteps. A charity shop sent us a request one day this week to, ‘Remember the poor,”’ which was the easiest thing for us to that we had ever undertaken, for we began at once to remember ourselves, as we needed it worse. Street contractors are slow completing their contracts for the city because they bite off more than they can chew. A few heavy fines imposed on them might serve as a gen- tle reminder to them that it pays to keep your word, even to the city. When an American white man so far loses his common sense as to place an ignorant foreign slum ahead of such an American as THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Booker T. Washington, it occurs to us that he is begging the race question in this coun- try. If there is an Assyrian in the wide world the equal of Booker Washington or a thous- and and one other Negroes in this country no good citizen has found him.

Unele Sam has 75,000 postoffices and 500,- 000 miles of postal routes, with a yearly travel over them amounting to 500,000,000 miles. The receipts now almost equal the expenditures and have doubled in the last ten years. This is a most encouraging show- ing and one of which the average American citizen is proud. Since December 7 New Yorkers have sent through the postoffice money order depart- ment almost $3,000,000 in cash as Christmas presents to relatives in foreign countries. Fully $1,00,000 more is yet to go. The value of other cash presents that left in loaded down foreign mails and expresses is beyond computation. On December 7 the Cedric carried $465,451, England (including Ire- land), getting $125,073 and Sweden $99,230. In round numbers the sums of $53,000, $46,- 000, $47,000 and $43,000 went to Austria, Germany, Russia and Norway, respectively.

In Abbott’s “Lives of the Presidents,’ written in 1866, is this statement: “Mr. Frederick Douglass, in the autumn of 1864, visited Washington, and Mr. Lincoln, wishing to converse with him upon some points on which he desired the opinion and advice of that remarkable man, sent his car- riage and an invitation to Mr. Douglass to come up and take tea with him. The invita- tion was accepted. Probably never before was a colored man an honored guest at the White House. Mr: Dougless subsequently re- marked: ‘Mr. Lincoln is one of the few white men I ever passed an hour with who failed to remind me in some way, before the inter- view terminated, that I was a Negro.’ ’’— Tacoma Ledger. POLICE GET A SETBACK. It has been the practice since Baldy. Rog- ers ran the police department of this city for ‘‘what there was in it’’ for him, for the police to throw men in jail on the slightest pretext and especially, if the arresting po- liceman did not like the man or, if it was be- lieved he had a wad of money on him, and keep him there without placing any charge against him until the man promised to leave town as soon as let out of prison. While no one believes for a single minute that Chief Delaney had any ulterior motive in jailing that Assyrian, yet he did do so without the due process of the law, and in view of the fact that the practice has been greatly abused, its gratifying to know a federal jury found a verdict against him for the false imprisonment of the Assyrian in question. Tf one breaks a state law the prosecuting at- torney’s office and not the office of the chief of police is the place to take your troubles. CHIEF GOT A TIP. “‘T remember when the office of chief of the police in this city was a cinche game of a very raw nature,’’ came from an old-timer one day this week. The story he told was like this: ‘‘A crook or ‘sure thing’ man would turn a trick in Vancouver, Victoria or some other neighboring town and would succeed in eluding the local officers and pull out for Seattle. Spotters would wire the chief of the police of the man’s coming. An officer would be detailed to arrest him and bring him directly to the chief, who would [Image of a man with a mustache and a bow tie, dressed in a formal suit and tie.

He would there be relieved of his valuables and ordered locked up without charge. His arrest would not be known outside of a very limited few in police circles. After he had been kept in close confinement for a number of days he would be offered five or ten dollars of his money and his liberty if he would leave town at once, if not he would be turned over to the officers of the law. Of course he would be glad to get a chance to escape punishment, and accepted, leaving his ill-gotten gains in the hands of the police." And as in this case, in all others. How much of the story is true is a question, but the relator says he has every reason to believe that such a graft has been worked even in Seattle. This city, however, has never had a cleaner police administration than at present, and Mayor Ballinger is to be congratulated on his appointment of Thomas Delaney as chief of the police. MARKED CHANGES IN TENANTS. The new home of the Young Women's Christian Association, where the old Rainier Club was once quartered, is by far the most palatial quarters that that association has ever had in this city. With such quarters as it now has, to the casual observer, it would seem that every woman in the city that has any hope for the elevation of mankind in general, would take a pride in helping to keep it up. The occupying of the old Rainier Club quarters by the Y. W. C. A. is a most striking contrast in things, and so much so that the very walls of the building must feel greatly out of place. Here is a case where the gaming tables have given way to the altar, cards and other gambling devices to the Bible and the prayer book, where the dragging down of mankind has been supplanted by the dragging up, so to speak. In other words, the new institution of the building is seeking to build up what the old one tore down. Not that the Rainier Club was in any sense a place of general debauchery, but it, like all clubs for men of means, permitted its members to do whatever pleased their fancy, even if it lead to doing things not taught in the Bible. BLOW BACK, MR. O'BRIEN. With thousands to but reach out his hands and help himself from Administrator O'Brien of the Sullivan estate naturally enough thought he was worth a salary that it would have taken him a century to have earned at ordinary work, but what are dead men's estates for, if not for the living to help themselves from. It must have been a great surprise to both O'Brien and his attorneys as well as the allowing judge to have the supreme court order him to "blow back" to what, if not in so many words, implied, had been wrongfully taken from the estate. Poor Old John Sullivan, during his lifetime he horded up a fortune by not even living comfortable himself and perhaps by refusing to help anybody or anything, that when he died he could leave a fortune, which has been bitterly fought over ever since, and that, too, by persons who had no interest at all in Sullivan, and would hardly have spoken to him when he lived. The man who has money had better distribute it before he dies and thereby save the useless waste of the estate in the courts after his death by persons who have no more interest in it than to want the money. One lawyer seems to draw wills so that the other lawyer can break them and thereby give both lawyers a bigger job, graft and gamble, but on a broader scale. Major J. F. Conant, the well known Bailey lunch counter operator, has just returned from an extended Eastern trip. "I went to stay quite a while," said he, "but the cold weather struck me and I tell you I left those diggings like a house a fire. Puget Sound folk have no business in the East in the winter time, and I found that out from sad experience." But, just think, Major Conant is now in his seventy-fourth year and he spurts across the continent to and fro like a young man. He arrives to home and is at his place of business the next morning looking chippier than a thirty year old. Who said American life is not growing longer. PRINTERS' COMBINE SCHEME. There was something doing up on Profanity Hill last Tuesday in printers' circles. The county's purchasing agent had called for THREE SCORE AND TEN. bids for certain printing and most of the printers who are members of the printers' combine were invited to bid on the work, and they, it would appear, got together and figured out the proposition and all of them put in bids. Eight of the number were the same thing to a cent, two others were put in high for effect, and of course the county seemed to be up against the real thing. Another printer, however, was asked to bid on the work, which he did, and when the bids were opened it was found that his bid was for less than half what the low men in the combine had bidden. In other words, eight of the combine men bid $572.00 for the job and the other fellow bid $250.00. It was very clear to the purchasing agent that a collusion had been entered into by the printers. To bluff the other fellow out then was the combine's only hope, and this it did, after agreeing to give the off ox a reasonable cut. The work was divided up between the low bidders and the profits will be divided by the combine among its members. Why is not this a case for the United States attorney to prosecute under the anti-trust law? nn ttt#....lleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee AMONG THE CHURCHES. Its very unfortunate ior the African Methodist Episcopal organization in this city that enough dissention has arisen between the pastor and his parishoners to prompt the latter to call upon the courts to arbitrate a chureh difference of opinion. There is trouble in pretty nearly every church conducted by Negroes in the state of Washington, which, to say the least, is a most discouraging sign. There is room for one flourishing and prosper- ous church among the colored folk in Seattle and the first religious organiza- tion that will fill its pulpit with a worthy and meritorious divine, whether Methodist or Baptist, will get the Sunday evening crowds, and they attend church liberally no other time. Some of the trustees of the A. M. BE. chureh have enjoined Rev. S. S. Free- man from collecting or soliciting funds in the name of the church and the case is before the superior court today for final adjudication. Without discuss- ing the merits or demerits of the case one way or the other, there is no doubt of the fact that the trouble has completely destroyed Mr. Freeman’s usefulness as a pastor of the work here, and the sooner he gives it up the sooner will the divided mem- bership get together again. There are at present five different denomina- tions trying to maintain regular church services in this city and all five of them have not a combined member- ship of one hundred, and yet every one of them have been more or less in hot water, the results of internal broils and dissentions. If such be the houses of God it would seem that He is seldom ever at home. A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. 28th and Madison St. Services at 11 a. m. and E:30 p. m.

ATHLETIC AND SPORTING RE- “te VIEW. ; The development of biceps and mus- cular, tissue as well as agility and activity will unfortunately suffer dur- ing the coming holiday season by a flagrant violation of the law of de- velopment, namely, the discontinuance of exercises and training which holi- day leisure invites. Fortunately, how- ever, the season is not long enough to work serious harm, for god train- ers will be able to recover their men from the carelessness and lassitude into which they invariably fall when, at leisure, in a week or two. This we hope they will zealously set to work to-accomplish when once the holidays are over. Football for this season is now com- Football pletely relegated to the 2 background, last Satur- Fiszled. day’s game marking the close of the season along all lines of that game for this year. It is with extreme satisfaction that we are per- mitted to review briefly last Satur- day’s contest between the famed Mult- nomah Athletic Club and the Seattle THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ee ee ee a eae a eC ee es of 5 to 0 in favor of the local team. The Republican also takes pleasure in noting that the local men recognized the conditions under which it held out hopes for success for the home team. That much solid practicing be done the past week both on defensive and offensive playing was the condition referred to and this, together with the drafting in service of the new man on the line, was surely responsible for the fine showing made last Saturday. The game with the varsity several weeks ago we criticised on the ground that it was lifeless and _ especially marked by poor playing throughout. The contest with the Astoria eleven showed better signs of life and last Saturday’s was all in all most cred- itable. " Multnomah has been the terror of the coast athletic clubs so far as football is concerned, for a number of years, having had their liberal of- fers refused many times even by uni- versities and colleges, who, though they were eager for games, feared that it would mean a loss of the game to an athletic club, which would be most distasteful. Since educational insti- tutions are not bound by good faith to battle with athletic clubs unless they desire the Multnomah was oft- times refused. To the S. A. C. be the glory of cut- ting short the longevity of the Mult- nomah tradition—that of being invin- cible. There was excellent playing on both sides on the part of every man, in fact so well was the burden of the fight distributed and so well handled that we refrain from saying more than that the victory belongs to the ablest.. It was a fast, spirited game throughout, but the visiting eleven was outplayed in nearly every posi- tion. In punting Roller, who was call- ed from the tackle position to punt, easily outpunted Dolph of the Portland eleven. With the knowledge that the Mult- nomah traditions received a severe shock at their hands and with the consciousness of having ably acquit- ted themselves, the S. A. C. men are now enjoying the fruits of their vic- tory in verbals reviews of the contest during their evening leisure at the Club building. The development in basketball the past week have not been Basketball sich that one is lost in Bumpers. — wonderment when reflect- ing upon the rapidity with which things in this modern day brew into consummation. We note with interest that amounts to satisfaction the youth- ful spirit of the University factulty. They, too, show their agility in bask- etball. The far-famed faculty team is daily showing its brawn and bicpes on the gymnasium floor. They, too, have the evident advantage in playing for the department of Rhetoric and Oratory is represented by one who can shout instructions in such com- manding manner that his co-players will be drawn into the proper play by the winning effect of rising and falling inflection of the voice as the case may demand. Other features of the Rhetorical art will be used with equal success. The Physicists and Mathematicians on the team will at once know the path to be traveled with accuracy, be it parabolic or ellip- tical, for the equations will often be on the wall in times religious.

We predict, and even dare to hope for interesting bask- etball from those who teach the young ideas how to send the arrow and pierce the coveted spot. Among the collegians, the newly elected captain, Loyal Shoudy, is do- ing effective work in sending his men into practice. A trip is being planned through Eastern Washington to meet the collegians beyond the pine-topped Cascades. It is probable that Oregon will also see an exhibition of Wash- ington’s indoor strategy along basket- ball lines. The Y. M. C. A. team, under Capt. Temple’s direction, has completed a schedule which calls for games with Tacoma, Snohomish, Everett and the University. In each case return games will be played, so that the schedule seems a good one. The ladies’ basketball team at the University and also of the Meteor Club are deserving of mention, in that their practice does in nowise show any lack of spirit and effectiveness—things which usually appear strongly in evi- dence in feminine athleticss. Golf, the business man’s sport, has Golf most happily undergone a regeneration the past few EOKs» weeks. A game which is free from the spectaular features of football and se well adapted to the enjoyment of the business men, right- ly deserves encouragement at the hands of all who love a fulsome and FRIDAY, DEC, 23, 1904. uncontaminated outdoor breath of air. The local club reaped the fruits of good, persistent practice when they showed their eastern opponents the way to “put and drive” last Sunday. The Spokane Club has long been held the champions of the state, but with much creditable wielding of the put- ter and the driver the Seattle Golf Club established their right to be con- sidered when the award of cups is made in January. The victory over the eastern golfers was probably eas- ier than the local men hoped to obtain it when they met last Sunday on Lake Washington golf links. Every man in the team of six reached the last “green” with a score of one up against his Spokane opponent. F. C. Newton of the locals has long since learned how to wield the driver effectively, and likewise G. L. Munn and E. A. Straut. The putting was no less ac- curate o nthe part of all players, but for precision the local men were eas- ily the superiors. The fact that this is considered the leading contest of the season gives the home golfers sufficient cause to be unusually jubi- lant over their victory. Spectators who delight in seeing the Bowling sphere curve down the alley with effective pre- Alley: cision saw much to their enjoyment in bowling circles the past week. The four weeks remaining in which to try for the pennant gives a stimulus to the bowlers with the result that the spheres follow more accurate- ly the path desired. The Brunswicks, for example, who had occupied an un- enviable position on the reckoning board, saw the advantage of precision and forthwith “screwed their courage to the sticking point” with such effect that they now tie the Centrals for first place. The Arcades and Colum- bians, all factors on the reckoning board, follow with only a few points behind. in Class B the Navajos seem the in- vincibles and easily lead. The Si- washes and Ramblers follow at a re- spectful distance. Leading scores stand thus: In Class A, Centrals and Brunswicks have 16 games won against 11 lost. The Columbians and Cascades have 15 to their credit and12 against. Class B: The Navajos stand 19 against 8. Amusements SEATTLE THEATRE. The Christmas week attraction at the Seattle Theatre will be the great Biblical play, “The Holy City,” one of the most interesting and unique plays ever seen in this city. Although seen here once before, it has been so gen- erally demanded by theatre-goers that Manager Howe has wisely decided to revive it. The cast will be practically the same as before, Miss Chapman as Mary the Magdalene, Mr. James Neill as Barabbas, Sheldon Lewis as Judas and all the others, with several addi- tions, as the management intend to have the production eclipse anything yet seen in the Seattle. Most of the scenery will be new. This play has been highly endorsed by prominent clergymen of all denominations as well es by Sunday school teachers, public school teachers, college professors and educators in general. It will appeal to people of all religious beliefs and is especially interesting to children. A special holiday matinee for the chil- dren will be given Monday afternoon, December 26. FRIDAY, DEC. 23, 1904. The play that is being presented at the Third Avenue Theatre this week is one that all well meaning people will do well to see. In the first place it is a true picture of life, and anyone will recognize in “Joe Pemberton,” the boy as he is seen in every day life—that is, when he amounts to anything. The other members of the company sur- rounding Miss Marie Heath are all very competent actors. There is no villain in the play and nobody is: killed, but there is plenty to laugh at and you may shed a few tears, but they are shed for a good cause. and you learn a moral from an ob- ject picture that is worth seeing. L. J. Carpenter’s big production, “A Little Outcast,” which has broken all records the last two years, begins its third season at the Third Avenue Theatre next Sunday, December 25, with Dolly Dupree in the stellar role, assisted by Millicent Evans and a big com- pany. The production has been enlarged and a new act written, and many surprises will be seen in the stage effects. An electric launch is a novel feature. SPOKANE SPARKS. The Spokane subscribers of the Seattle Republican are pleased to learn that they will see Spokane news in the paper once more. Miss Blanche Knight entertained with a delightful luncheon last week in honor of Miss Lizzie Jones of St. Paul. Before and after luncheon the young ladies were en- tertained by Miss »innie Brown, with selections on the graphophone. Those present were: Misses Maud Lucas, Miss Blanche Scott, Miss Anna Durant, Miss Bertha Patton, Miss Bertha Porter, Miss Helen Stafford, Miss Lizzie Jones, Miss Minnie Brown, Miss Blanche, Knight, Mrs. King Jones, and Mrs. Knight. Miss Margaret Fields has re- turned from a month’s visit with her parents in Chicago. Mrs. L. C. Fulp, of Los Angeles, has joined her husband in this city. Dr. Fulp is establishing a splendid practice in this city. Mrs. E. O. Simmons continues on the sick list. Thomas Reed has received a sen- tence of twenty years in the peni- tentiary. A social was given at the A. M. E. Church last Tuesday. Mr. E. H. Holmes and M. J. B. Hagan were in charge of the fishpond, and Mr. Jesse Anderson took charge of the ice cream stand. It is needless to say the rivalry was keen. * Thursday evening a box social was given at the Calvary Baptist Church. Mr. J. B. Hagan acted as auctioneer. A very pleasant eyen- ing was passed. Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Clark have returned from a two weeks visit to Mrs. Surrey and Mrs. Houston, in West Grove. OSTEOPATHY WASHINGTON INSTITUTE OF Os- TEOPATHY (Incorporated), Es- tablished five years.
