Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN NORTHWEST VOL. XI. NO. 31 POLITICAL POT=PIE George to Be Shelved. It is hinted that Mayor Ballinger will not name Judge George as police judge, a position which he has filled with credit to himself and, it is very generally believed, with satisfaction to the public in general, for the past three years. However, if Mayor Ballinger has made up his mind to not name him again for the place, he has good and sufficient reasons for not doing so, or at least he thinks he has, for the mayor weighs his official acts carefully before putting them into execution. The mayor has the annual report of the judge now in his hands and the following is taken therefrom: 1903. 1904. Total No. of cases in court. 4.084 4.113 Total No. of convictions... 3,516 3,726 Total No. of discharged... 42 273 Total No. of dismissed... 140 114 Percentage of convictions.. .861 .9059 Percentage of acquittals .. .105 .066 Percentage of dismissals .. .034 .027 Total fines collected.....$34,674.55 $40,643.10 Total expenses ..... 3,974.07 4,140.15 Revenue to city.....$30,700.48 $36,505.95 If he does not appoint Judge George he of course must appoint Judge Gordon, and he, it is very generally believed, will give the city a splendid administration. It means $100.00 per month more to be police judge than mere justice of the pace, and yet not to exceed half as much work. The coming of the New Year inspires many anxious hopes in the breasts of the politician who expects some reward from those of his fellow partisan, whom he has boosted into office. Deputyships as well as clerkships are wanted, and though there are a great many places to fill there are always about ten applicants for every job and each applicant thinks he has the best right to the vacancy. Below some of the politicians who are looking for gifts sooner or later in the year will be mentioned. *** Senator Addison G. Foster points to his senatorial record and thinks it should bring to him another six year term in the United States senate, but he knows there are others looking for the same job and he has his fears. \* \* \* Samuel H. Piles is looking for the Happy New Year angel to bring him the senatorship, but he is being told that he will get a gold brick, and it don't look good to him. Ex-Senator John L. Wilson expects the New Year to change his political luck, so far as the senatorship is concerned, but he has misgivings, as it is hinted the King county agreement will not be lived up to. * * * Charley Sweeney expects the New Year to call for him at the front door of the Hotel SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1904 Mitchell, when he will say, "Just give me the leavings of the Foster senatorial campaign, and never mind the cost." * * * A. B. Campbell, another Spokane senatorial aspirant, will not think the New Year will have treated him good unless it swings the political scalp of Charley Sweeney to his belt. * * * Jacob Furth will expect the New Year to bring about a confusion of senatorial aspirants' tongues, which will result in the senatorial plum falling his way. It may. * * * Governor Henry McBride's New Year present must be a party conflict such as will bring him to the front or he will be sadly disappointed. * * * Governor-elect A. E. Mead hopes the New Year will deliver him from the office-seekers and leave him to fill the various state positions with the most capable men, but he, too, has his fears. * * * The members-elect of the legislature hope the New Year will bring to them comfortable quarters at Olympia without having to pay all they legitimately earn while there for the same, but the prospects are not very encouraging. *** Secretary of State Nichols hopes it will bring to him another as efficient man for emigration agent as was Hon. A. W. Frater, who will become a superior judge of Seattle. Will it? * * * Lieutenant Governor-elect Coon believes it might bring to him another public office to be elected to, but since no elections are to occur this year he has his fears. *** Auditor Atkinson verily believes it will bring to him an opportunity to show to the voters that, he knows more law than they think he does. \* \* \* E. W. Ross that it will not use its influence to prevent him from serving out his term as state land commissioner by sending him to Congress. *** C. W. Clausen hopes that the New Year will open new fields to him that he may lay his plans to conquer them before he gets too old to enjoy them. George Mills that it will bring him a new vault for the state's fund, where thieves can not break through nor moths corrupt. "The Lord being my helper.' * * * State Superintendent Bryan wants it to bring to him more such supporters as W. G. Hartranft of King, and he feels certain he will be made superintendent of public education for life. * * * Hon. Charles S. Gleason would not object to the New Year bringing him the speaker- BLICAN APR 29 1952 0 1904 PRICE FIVE CENTS ship of the next house of representatives, but Piles' interest first, and there are others. * * * Senator J. J. Smith of Enumelaw thinks it will again bring to him the presidency of the senate. While the position at the next session of the legislature will not be so important as the last, yet it will be an honor that will not be dispised. *** The northwest combine hopes more and greater honors will be brought to it by the incoming New Year. *** A railroad commission is all the representatives from the eastern part of the state expect for the New Year to bring them, though they would not refuse the senatorship. * * * The original "gold brick" man may be dead, but his disciples go marching on just the same. * * * The seeming carelessness or indifference on the part of the trainmen of one of the coal cars of the Seattle Electric Company last Wednesday evening, which resulted in the instant killing of one James W. Myler, will add another to the long string of damage suits that company has on its hands. The company seems totally indifferent as to the rights of the citizens and some day patience will cease to be a virtue and somebody will do something desperate. * * * Vast alterations have been ordered by the board of the Seattle-Tacoma Power Company, with the view of at a very early date putting lights in the resident portions of the city and thereby rescue the people from the S. E. C. octopus. * * * Hudson P. Niles, who has been appointed deputy state land commissioner, is a prince of good fellows and his appointment will give general satisfaction all over the state. * * * City Engineer Thomson of Seattle will go to Europe to study the garbage conditions of the large cities in that part of the world. Mr. Thomson has just successfully completed the municipal lighting plant and is deserving of just such a rest. * * * It is hoped that the New Year will bring less politics to the State University and no kind of political partisanism be taught or tolerated within its walls. Let the New Year also decide that the University is to no longer be imposed on by Blethenism. Let it terminate his connection as its regent immediately if not sooner. * * * Eddie Smith, the Negro jockey, who killed a burglar while he was in the act of robbing a saloon in which Smith was sleeping, was exonerated by a coroner's jury. Smith is the hero of the town just now, for he has done what no one else has done, captured a live burglar, even though the burglar died very soon after he was captured. --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN likely black wenches as can be found in the state of Virginia." Watson says Jefferson had many mulatto children. In support, we are able to cite the following: In the Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. I, London, 1853, page 265, will be found an account of the career of two quadroon girls, daughters of Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, and later governor of Virginia, and also president of the United States,—Clotel and Althesa, and their mother, known as Currer Graves. Color Problem in the United States (By Daniel Murray, in Colored American Magazine.) The very interesting article in the November number, 1904, of Chamber's Magazine, London, by Mr. James Burnley, on "Color Problems in America," is exciting no end of comment and is wellworthy of careful perusal. The settlement of two of them, the Chinese by exclusion and the Indian by extermination, is interestingly discussed. The third is more complex and may not so easily be disposed of. A fourth problem is looming up, and to my mind it is the basic problem, "The Mixed Blood Problem." In greatly increasing numbers the newspapers of the South are discussing this phase and giving it more attention, probably recognizing that the mixed blood population in their several communities are their kinfolks, and will never willingly accept a lower place in the social scale than is common to their fathers, brothers and sisters. The Augusta Ga.) Chronicle, in its issue of November 1st, 1904, has much to say ont this line. Anent the invention of the cotton gin, a correspondent in a letter to one of the Boston evening papers having claimed the same for a Negro and denying Eli Whitney's claim. The fact that I had given much attention to the history of the colored race, suggested an inquiry by letter to me as to the merits of the controversy. I was able to say Mr. Whitney's claim had been successfully defeated, and that the people of Georgia, very indignant over his attempted imposition of a royalty on them through claiming an invention not his own, mobbed him and compelled him to flee for his life. I could not say that the credit of the invention belonged to Mrs. Nat Greene's slave, but I could say, Whitney who taught an academy and lived at her home was never able to establish conclusively his own claim, and that the state of South Carolina refused to pay the $50,000 voted him when believing him the undisputed inventor. The Chronicle calls the whole a "vexed question," but denies the Negro's side on the score that no Negro has or could invent such a piece of mechanism. It says, a mixed blod by reason of the admixture could have done it, since many of them have shown intellectual force equal to any white man, and proceeds to differentiate. The editor doubtless never heard of Granville T. Woods, called the "black Edison," and his many improvements in connection with the telephone. For the last two weeks Washington and Macon, Ga., society has been in a flutter of excitement over the announcement that Senor don Luis Corea, Nicaraguan minister, who is engaged to marry the wealthy Georgia widow, Mrs. Lee Jordon, is a quadroon. Here is the crux of the color problem. Mrs. Jordan in the face of all the testimony says to him, "I am ready, and will go to the end of the world with you." About _____, the following advertisement appeared in a Richmond, Va., paper: "Notice.—Thirty-eight slaves, the entire stock of the late John Graves, Esq., will be offered on Monday, November 10th, at 12 o'clock. They are all in good condition, some of them very prime; among them mechanics, field hands, plough-boys and women with children at breast, and very prolific in their generating qualities, affording a rare opportunity to any one who wishes to raise a strong and healthy lot of servants for their own use: Also several mulattos and two quadroon girls of rare personal qualities, both of them very superior. Any lady or gentleman, wishing to purchase, can take any of the above slaves on trial for a week for which time no charges will be made." The above commonplace notice, about the beginning of the nineteenth century, ordinarily excited little or no comment in the South, but behind this one there is a very interesting story, as follows: In September, 1782, Jefferson lost his wife, who had him promise her on her death bed, not to bring a step-mother to his home, and he in obedience kept his promise, but in part only. About 1803, when Jefferson assumed the presidency, he left a mulatto woman, a slave of John Graves, Esq., of Virginia, as housekeeper for his home at Monticello, and by whom he had fathered two dauhgters, Clotel and Althesa. The elder, Clotel, when in her seventeenth year, attracted the attention of Horatio Green, Jr., the son of a wealthy gentleman of Richmond, Va., Green having met her at one of those balls common enough in the South, at which only white men, mulatto and quadron girls attend. Young Green had just returned from college, was twenty-two years of age, and purely sincere in his attachment to Clotel, who had just turned sixteen years and was regarded by all who had the good fortune to view her, as the most beautiful girl in Richmond, white or colored. About this time Mr. Graves died, and his property had to be sold to settle his estate. Jefferson could not do anything by way of relief had he been so disposed, which is doubtful enough, since he was in financial straits which ultimately led to his selling his book to congress to gather the necessary means of living after retiring from the presidency. Thus were the common-law and dauhgters of Jefferson brought to the auction block. Mr. Green was deeply in love and in the end proved faithful to Clotel and promised to buy her and give her freedom. The mother was first sold and brought a modest sum, and then her younger daughter Althesa, who brought $1,000, and then came the trial for Clotel. She was dressed in pure white. This was done in the hope that her appearance and innocence might enhance the price obtained. The bidding was quite spirited from the very first, encouraged as the bidders were by the witty comments of the auctioneer. From one thousand, the bids slowly crept up until they reached fifteen hundred dollars, which was the price her lover promptly bid and paid. He would have gladly saved her the humiliation of the auction block but could not obtain a legal title in any other way. Thus ended the slave sale at which the common-law wife and two daugthers of a former president of the United States, weer sold to the highest bidder. The New York Journal, November 6th, 1904, under the heading, 'Love Triumphed,' devotes a whole page to the case. If it be as claimed, Mrs. Jordan will have distinguished company. Natalie, wife of Prince Nicholas, of Warsaw is Pushkin's daughter, and their daughter is the wife of the Grand Duke Michael, cousin to the present Czar, Nicholas II. "In South Carolina we recognize octoroons as white people." These are the exact words of Senator B. R. Tillman in the United States senate February 23d, 1903, in answer to Senator Spooner on the Indianola post office case. Had a different classification been urged it would have produced an awkward situation, since in Charleston, S. C., there stands today a statue of Henry Nimrod, the South's greatest poet, who it is well known, was an octoroon. In the Macon case the claim comes down to quadroon. The case of Vice-President Richard M. Johnson is an interesting one on this color-line question, but the case of Thomas Jefferson is equally so and is thus described: Speaking of this and of Alexander Hamilton, as an octoroon, to a well-known newspaper writer, he told me of just such a mixture in the family of Thomas Butler King, who represented Georgia in the house of representatives from 1839 to 1843, and again from 1845 to 1849. He was a leading statesman in his day. He had in Washington as his common-law wife, a beautiful mulatto woman, who presided over his home and in every other respect was accorded the position of a wife. She bore him several children. Henry Lord Page, who was an aide-de-camp on the staff of General McLaws, and who was killed at the battle of Fredericksburg, was their son, born in Georgia in 1831. Mr. King was born in Hampden county, Mass., in 1804, and went to Georgia in 1823, when in his nineteenth year. There he contracted the connection previously mentioned, the circumstances and events of which made him famous in Washington, D.C., society and gossip, and are still talked about today in Georgia. Thomas Jefferson's Common-Law Wife and Two Octoroon Daughters. The New York Journal in the June 19th, 1904, issue, pulbished a double leaded article over the signature of the Hon. Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, in which he speaks of the loose lives of Washington* and Jefferson and their fondness for black women. By another author, Washington is said to have written a letter inviting Jefferson to visit him at Mount Vernon, and says: "I have nothing particular to offer you as an inducement to make the journey, but I can provide as bed-mates for you what I trust will prove acceptable, as FRIDAY, DEC. 30, 1904 The Seattle Republican Established May, 189 H.

Russia's crown of gold must have made a much more favorable impression on Patti than did Uncle Sam's shower of over-ripe hen food. If Senator Mitchell gets "regulated" by the Roosevelt administration as did Senator Burton of Kansas, Teddy will be the real reformer of the age. Yellow journalism has succeeded in sufficiently notorizing the Nan Patterson trial to get a hung jury. An absolute acquittal is what it is working for whether guilty or innocent. Actor Neil may be able to tell Howe it all happened, but 'When I Was Twenty-One' it would have been the other fellow instead of Neil that would have had a story to tell to the police. After all there seems to be something in a name, for do not the Seattle folk recognize in Mrs. Cassie Chadwick the family traits. Doing the other fellow is the besetting sin of the Chadwicks. A new Richmond is about to appear on the senatorial field of battle in the person of Gov. Henry G. McBride, whose cause will be championed by the railroad commission men. Is this another tail to Sweeney's kite? Gov. Peabody of Colorado is not inclined to give up a good thing, even though he did run a few thousand votes behind the other fellow. What he lacked in votes he is making up in law points, which promise to work like a charm. He who would marry Nan Patterson that he might profit by her criminal notoriety is either a fool or a knave, and in either case should be prevented from doing so by law. Neither criminals nor imbeciles have any right to legally marry. It begins to look as though the National Guard of this state is going to be as heavy a Drain on the Mead administration as it was on the previous administration, but in both cases it was a Drain that neither was not nor will be seriously objected to. --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Washington state is to have a mad home rush at no distant date, owing to the fact that the government will throw open for settlement 800,000 acres of Yakima Indian reservation lands. Its as fine as silk and he is a lucky dog that gets a quarter section thereof. The agricultural experiment in Adams county corn and alfalfa raising will be watched with much interest. To produce a telling output in these staple products an official report of which reaching the homeseekers of the country will mean much for the future industry of Eastern Washington. Two veterans of the Philippine war, who after being discharged, parted some three years ago in New York for life, though they had fought side by side in the war, met again in a felon's cell the other day up in Bellingham, this state. Their lives did not lead in different directions after all and for the next few years they will renew old acquaintance. Just what method will be the outcome of the proposed legislation to regulate railroads engaged in interstate commerce is not apparent, but as such governmental supervision would do away with favoritism to individuals or communities a scientific basis to control America's wonderful system of railroads will be a very muchly desired reform. Seattle's Health Good. According to Dr. Ludlow, of the board of health of Seattle, the health conditions of the city are better than they have been for years before. The city is practically free from contagion and there is one-fourth less general sickness in the city today than one year ago. All of this is very encouraging and quite an incentive for persons in other sections and cities of this country to come to Seattle to live, for it is a well known fact that commercial inducements have always been conducive to encourage emigration this way. The health conditions of Seattle are largely due to the fact that the officials use every precaution to keep down contagious diseases and that is due largely to the fact that Seattle has one of the purest water supplies in the whole country. If the same health diligence is maintained Seattle will always be a healthy, hearty city, and will be the objective point for all persons headed to the Northwest. Let Saloon Limits Alone. There is absolutely no need of the saloon limits being extended beyond where they now are. That the saloon business is an evil is patent to every one with common sense, which is shown by it always being only tolerated by the better class of citizens. The number of saloons already in this city is sufficiently large to accommodate every one, who desires to throw their lives away in them, and, if not, the number can be increased in what is already recognized as the saloon district, but it should not be done by extending the limits so as to take in more territory and encroach on the resident portion of the city, where more of the unwary may be induced to go astray in their gilded walls. There are already more saloons in proportion to the actual inhabitants in Seattle than in FRIDAY, DEC. 30, 1904 Warm Winter Wraps MOUNTED BY CCBERG AWARDED MEDAL AT PAN AMERICAN EXPOSITION Ladies' Furs Made and Repaired. Boas of all kinds at Reduced Prices. SPECIAL Reduction on Sealskins. All work Guaranteed as to fit and quality. any other city in the Northwest, and as a result of that, the state penitentiary and the state insane asylum have an undue number of inmates within their walls from Seattle, to say nothing of the over supply of murder and suicide sensations that are almost daily committed in the city, who, for the most part, are post graduates of the saloon drink habit. Creamer Is Guilty. When Sheriff Ed Cudihee declares that in his opinion Henry Creamer is guilty of having murdered Mrs. Mueller and her little babe, there is no doubt but that he honestly believes what he says. Baldy Rogers may have been none too good to have put up a job on Creamer, and, owing to the fact that Cudihee was then a subordinate of his, and was even cognizant of the fact, no one believes that he would continue to carry out any such official deceit. He would not have stood for it then, if he had known of the facts, but under no circumstances would he now attempt to persecute an innocent man. Creamer is being well cared for at the state prison, and there he should remain until something more tangible pointing to his innocence is brought to light or that long lost friend, on whose testimony he placed so much stress, comes to the front and verifies his statement. Cudihee has made a careful study of crime and criminals, and it is the concensus of opinion that he speaks truly in pronouncing Creamer guilty. This should end the matter, and Governor McBride should not consider his pardon another minute. It would have been unfair to have hung the man, but he is not being unduly punished by being kept in prison, considering the circumstances. AFRO-AMERICANISM Negro Population Compared. Apropos the Murray article, found in another column hereof, comes the news from Chicago to the effect that, Prof. W. E. Burkhardt du Bois, the well known Negro educator of Atlanta, Ga., stated to the women's clubs of that city, before whom he was invited to lecture, that, "one out of every eight United States Americans is part Negro." The allegation has brought forth a storm of denials from many sections of the United States on the part of the women folk. While this paper does not know exactly what Prof FRIDAY, DEC. 30, 1904. du Boise did say as to the proportion of the blacks in America as compared to the whites, yet, according to the late census, the one in eight comparison seems quite fair. In round numbers the census says, there are about "eighty millions souls in the United States" and it continues, "of that number at least ten million are colored folk." While that classification includes the Indians, Chinamen and Japanese in this country, yet it does not include the octoroons and mixed bloods, who are passing for white, but have Negro parentage on one side or the other, and this number, according to the Murray article herein, runs up into the thousands, which would about offset the Indian, Chinese and Japanese population classed by the census as colored folk. Ten is just one-eighth of eighty, and it looks as though Prof. du Bois said no more than what the late census announced and if any sensation was caused Uncle Sam's census takers and not the lecturer are or were responsible for it. * * * Extermination or Miscegenation. There is neither a desire or an inclination on the part of the Negro to force general miscegenation among the whites and blacks of this country, but in spite of either the whites or the blacks the work is steadily going on, showing very conclusively that, in spite of opposition, when two persons of different races have an inclination to miscegenate they will do so. The average white United States American would a hundred times over prefer to become the life partner of a refined colored companion than to become that of an ignorant foreigner, which would be like tieing up to an animal, so far as the "native son" is concerned. The Negro is rapidly becoming educated and likewise rapidly acquiring wealth, and under such circumstances even the refined Anglo-Saxon sees no real excuse of him or her choosing a black person as a life associate, barring a foolish prejudice that is running riot at this time. That it is out of the question for the Negro to remain in this country among the Anglo-Saxons is quite apparent, and he must be either exterminated or will be amalgamated. The Negro will not leave the country and he can only be driven from it at the point of the bayonet, and then he will be driven to his death rather than to a foreign land, and in view of that fact, the amalgamation process has been going on to an alarming extent for lo these many years, which, at this time, finds one-fourth of what are known as Negroes "half breeds," and it is but natural to conclude, complete amalgamation between the whites and blacks of the United States will sooner or later be the result, and despite our opposition along those lines at this time, when it does come, it will be hailed with delight by all parties concerned. The storm kicked up by such agitators as Tillman, Vardeman et al., who have foreseen what was coming, is rapidly expending its force and a calm all along the coast line is already in the air. Uncle Sam's prejudice barometer has begun to lose its vitality, and the sooner it gets out of working order the better for the country. He Was a Mulatto. Along the line of race mistaken identity comes a press dispatch from a Virginia town, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN where death only exposed the fact that Chas. Flippen, who had gone to New York and associated himself with the whites, had Negro blood in his veins. He became prominent in street car circles in New York after leaving his native town, became a member of a militia company of New York, and was on the whole very popular among the whites. His swarthy complexion he accounted for as having Indian blood in his veins, which completely satisfied his more inquisitive white associates, for even an Indian, wild and savage though he, is more acceptable to some Anglo-Saxons than a refined Negro. Death came to him a few days before he would have married a very refined Anglo-Saxon girl, and so popular was he that an escort from the street car union and one from the military company were sent with the body to its former home in Virginia. The escort, however, was dumbfounded to learn from the whites of that community that, "their distinguished dead guest was only a 'damn nigger.'" But yesterday the name of Caesar would have defied the world, but at that fell-swoop it became a stench in the nostrils of "white men." Some day, it is to be hoped, men will be taken for their real worth and not for their nationality or their complexion. * * * Mississippi's Moral Condition. Judge George Anderson of Vicksburg, Miss., recently had occasion to instruct a grand jury along the lines that has made Negro half breeds in this country and the following is an excerpt taken from his instruction touching on the cohabitation of the races in that community where "nigger dominancy" in feared so much by the whites: "I have touched upon the race problem to other grand juries, and I intend to keep touching upon it until there is an arousing of public opinion to that stage where something will be done to abate the evil. We know that these conditions exist, and yet nothing is done. It is a fact, too, that this evil is not confined to any caste or standard of society, but the best men of the community—men with beautiful wives and children at their homes—actually cohabit with Negro women, and the result has been, I believe, that to a great degree the servant problem has become more serious, resulting from this condition of affairs. The condition has become so extreme that it is to a great degree the great problem between the races, as many of the good Negroes condemn and are fighting against it, and are to be praised and upheld in their efforts to stamp out the evil. I contend that from the moral point of view the women should not be made more to blame than the men. There is no use going down into the slums where these disreputable women exist, to correct the evil. The example should be made of the men. These men are beneath the notice of a respetcable dog. Never under existing conditions may we hope for elevation of social standing to which we wish to adhere until we can first clean out our own nests and obliterate such practices from our country." "While the above condition in the South is a most deplorable one to some of the whites and to most of the blacks, nevertheless, it is so, and neither grand juries nor judges will stop its practices, and as a result, the real Negro will sooner or later be wiped out of existence and a mongrel people will take their places, who, having the blood of their fathers in their veins, will defy their fathers, if they continue to oppress them. Then, again, hundreds and thousands of those "mixtures" drift North and even other sections of the South and become Anglo-Saxons, and some of them after they have rooted themselves among the whites demand fair treatment for the oppressed Negro, and if it should come to a settlement of the question on the field of battle they would become the real leaders of the Negro cause. * * * South Tacoma's Negroes. Mr. John R. Hawkins, one of Tacoma's leading Afro-Americans, was a visitor to Seattle last Monday. Mr. Hawkins is proprietor of a toggery establishment in South Tacoma and is doing a most excellent business, and a part of his business here was on the lookout for a cutter and fitter for his business, which is a proposed new departure. In South Tacoma two colored men are now running newspapers and one conducting a toggery establishment, which would lead one to surmise that South Tacoma is green pastures for the black sheep. Nothing will build up the Negro of this country in the eyes of the 'dominant race' so much as for him to show his ability to conduct a business for one race the same as another. In other words, do business just as successfully in a community where all of the citizens with the exceptions of themselves are Caucasions, as where they are all Negroes. Hr. Hawkins had just such training in his earlier life and The Seattle Republican is not afraid to vouch for his success in the undertaking in which he is now engaged. Was a Court Clerk. Years ago the writer hereof remembered J. R. Hawkins when he was clerk of a district court in the state of Kansas, to which position he was twice elected, and, be it is said to his credit, made a most efficient clerk, his praises being sung by attorneys who visited his court for hundreds of miles away. He, with his parents, were among the pioneers to Graham county, Kansas, and pitched their tent in what was afterwards known as Nicodemus, Kan., which little berg at one time gave strong evidence of becoming one of the prosperous towns of that section of the state, and it would have had not a mistake been made in not offering such inducements to the railroad company building through the country as would have made it an object for the road to bend some four miles out of its course and gy by it. The town was for the most part owned by colored folk and was located by W. R. Hill, who lead the colony there from Kentucky. Mr. Hill was a white man, but proved himself to be one of the staunchest friends in the upbuilding of the Negro in that state. Mr. Hill, as most all the other pioneers in that county, were finally compelled to give up their early holdings on account of continued drouths, but of late years the country has come to the front and the farmers have amassed fortunes from their wheat fields. Kensington and Rogers-Peet Clothing NOTHING BETTER W. B. HUTCHINSON CO. 1401 Second Ave. and Union St. PERSONAL Editor Reed of South Tacoma was in Seattle last Wednesday. Mr. James E. Shepperson of Roslyn visited the most of the past week in Seattle. Mr. John R. Hawkins of South Tacoma visited with friends in the city last Monday. Mrs. Viola Rudd has spent the past week in the city with friends. Mrs. Rudd is a well known Tacoma elocutionist. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Ryan of the Tacoma Forum were visitors to the city Christmas day. Mr. Ryan has two girls in school in this city. The legal proceedings instituted against Rev. S. S. Freeman by some of the members of his congregation were dismissed by the court. A Seattle preacher has been ordered by the courts to confine his energies to preaching. This seems to be tough luck for the congregation.Portland Oregonian. Mr. J. E. Hawkins has accepted an invitation to deliver an emancipation address at Portland Sunday evening and accompanied by Mrs. Hawkins, left for there last Wednesday with the view of spending a part of the holiday season there. Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Butler were given a grand surprise on the evening of the 23rd by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Teamer, Mrs. A. Travis, Mrs. C. G. Gayles, Mr. J. F. Cragwell, Mrs. Martha Pain, Mrs. Dun, Mr. Thomson and presented a fine turkey and a box of crackers. Mr. and Mrs. John T. Gayton remembered their little son, Johnny's fifth birthday, by inviting a number of his little friends to their home last Tuesday afternoon to aid him in making merry. Quite a number of the little folk were present and enjoyed the occasion very much. The colored man found dead in the bay some time ago proved to be Joe Ennis, who had roomed at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson for the past two years. His death is still a mystery, but it is generally believed he was murdered. He was a West Indiman by birth and had no relatives in this country. Mr. Philip P. Strauter, who lived at Brighton Beach, died last Monday evening and was buried Wednesday. He came to Seattle from California a few years ago. He leaves two sons, who are now in the Washington Children's Home, but who will be sent to Chicago to the Amanda Smith Home at an early date. The Unique Club entertained itself and a few of its friends most elegantly last Monday evening. The committee of arrangements planned everything to insure a most enjoyable evening and it did not miscalculate. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Frank T. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Charley Curry, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Cayton, Mr. and Mrs. P. A. de Boe, Mr and Mrs. John T. Gayton, Mr. and Mrs. Frasier, Mr. and Mrs. Frank N. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. J.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Christmas week has been a busy one in the Spokane social circle. Rev. J. B. Beckham is arranging for the erection of six houses on his lots. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Curtley entertained ten guests at breakfast and twelve at dinner Christmas day. Mr. H. C. Owen of Wallace, Idaho, is in the city purchasing property, and also arranging for an eastern trip. Mr. Lee and Mr. Hilbert entertained Misses Helen Stafford and Kate Turnham at Davenport's Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Stafford and Miss Helen Stafford entertained a unmber of friends and their family at dinner Christmas day. Mrs. Duncan and Mrs. Stanton of North Yakima are visiting in the city and are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Thompson. Christmas night the choir of the Calvary Baptist Church, under the direction of Miss Minnie Brown, rendered a splendid musical program. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Parker gave a dinner Christmas day for their family and friends. After dinner the evening was spent with music and dancing. The Ladies' Guild of St. Thomas Mission gave a surprise on Mrs. Chas, S. Parker last Monday evening, the occasion being the third anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Parker's marriage. Friday evening the Sabbath school of the A. M. E. Church held their Christmas exercises. The training of the children was under the direction of Miss Edmonia Holmes and as a result it was one of the best programs that has been given in the church for a long while. The church was prettily decorated and the tree was laden with gifts. Monday evening the Sabbath school of the Calvary Baptist Church held their Christmas exercises. The program was under the direction of Mrs. A. C. Hagan and Mrs. E. H. Holloway. Much credit is due these ladies for the successful rendition of the same. An immense tree laden with gifts was in evidence. Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus called at the church and after their departure refreshments were served. BUILDING AND REALTY REVIEW. For many months the activity in building and realty circles has suffered very little, in fact, there has been a certain degree of activity which is almost constant and only occasionally does the market cause a fluctuation from that constant. In nearly every instance the fluctuation has been of the adavnce type as we should expect in a growing country. The past week has seen nothing that would approach the spectacular in either building or realty transfers. The constant degree was thus exemplified and illustrated. It has been simply what we could well call a normal and healthy condition of the market. There is no lack in optimism on the part of the purchaser and when such conditions prevail there is not the slightest indication of a diseased market. As was noted last week, the realty activity seemed to tentd toward the purchase of residence property, the larger sales being not strongly in the foreground, and so is it this week. There seems to be a prevailing opinion among the realty brokers that the newspaper insist on "booming" the business so much that the owners inflate their prices to such a degree that they find it impossible SPOKANE. to dispose of the property. We admit that we can see wherein in such things could result from the so-called "booming," and add we noted last week that it is not only easy but delightful to dwell on the growth of our city and development of our country. But we doubt whether the press has misstated the condition of affairs in this particular and insist that it is right for people to be enthusiastic over their city's growth. We fail also to see where the "boomism" has affected the sale, for we record as many transfers and more at this time than ever. For instance, Capital Hill has witnessed a greater activity by $15,000 in real estate exchanges the past two weeks than any week before. Among the larger projects we note the following: L. R. Flechner and M. Gerow secured the title to a very desirable piece of property on the east side of Third avenue between Pike and Union streets for a consideration of $82,500. The lot is occupied by a three-story brick building, which is being utilized as a hotel and cafe. In view of the Pike street improvements and retail business movement on the same street the investment is a good one. A price of $37,500 has been named as the selling price of the lot on the corner of First avenue and Stewart street, owned by S. S. Bailey. He expects to dispose of the property very soon at that figure. The Northern Pacific R. R. expects to erect a large business block of the best type on the lot between Madison and Spring, Western and Railroad avenue, at a cost of $160,000. Herman Chapin expects to erect a large business block at corner of Columbia and Second avenue, which will occupy the site of the Colonial building. The cost will reach many thousand dollars. Real estate dealers say there are many other projects under consideration and are nearing settlement. Among the smaller residences soon to be built we note the following: E. M. Capps will build a frame residence at 1103 Eighteenth avenue No., at a cost of $1700. Herbert Stokes has filed plans for the erection of a one and a half story frame cottage at 4114 Twelfth avenue N. E., at a cost of $2000. B. F. Visser will erect a comfortable frame cottage at 220 Eighteenth avenue No., at a cost of $2250. Mrs. Jessica Beers has filed plans for the erection of a two-story frame residence at 414 First avenue W., at a cost of $1700. G. W. Waterhouse has filed plans for a one and a half story frame cottage at 1510 Sixteenth avenue No., to cost $1400. ATHLETIC AND SPORTING REVIEW On looking carefully into the world of sports one finds more activity there than a casual observer would note. To be sure the real competitive sports have been pushed aside for a time that the holidays may more completely invite a diminution of excitability. Mental relaxation in all phases being impossible in any sort of a competition, all features which go toward the competitive part of a game have been wisely illuminated the past week. There appears on the stage of sports an occasional score which seems to have had its necessary antecedent—a game; but all in all there was little of the season's competition in last week's sporting maneuvers. At this time many institutions and FRIDAY, DEC. 30, 1904 clubs are working diligently to complete a schedule for their respective teams for the next season. At the University the newly elected athletic manager, with the help of all connected with athletics in the institution, is extremely busy arranging the football schedule for 1905. The interest taken therein is maximum, for it has been suggested that both Stanford and California University will be invited to show their worth and tact in football on Washington's territory. If this is accomplished the next football season will be the most interesting in the history of the University. Whether we lose to Stanford or not is not so much to be considered, but the fact that we can pit our brawn against the greatest Universities in the West will be worthy of more serious consideration. The advance in prestige of the U. of W. is irresistable. We hope for such a schedule the coming year. It seems that the armored plungers are not satisfied with the Football. football situation, even at this late day. We are informed that Multnomah desires to wreak vengeance upon the heads of the plucky Seattleites. To be defeated by the S. A. C. was a hard pill to swallow and in fact will not digest. The Portland plungers mean to facilitate the digestion on New Year's day by luring the locals to Portland there to dispense to them a pill immeasureably harder to digest than a 5 to 0 one; thus they insist on retaliation serving a double purpose, namely, to develop a more hygienic state in their own bodies and at the same time secure mental composure. We hazard the opinion that with Tom McDonald and Roller in the fray for Seattle the Portland players will find less pleasure in giving and receiving the pills. It seems that Lake Washington will be even more famous as Annual a rare course this year Regatta. than ever before. We re- yet incomplete whereby we would be assured of a triumphant annual regatta on Seattle's beautiful lake next spring. The persons who have the idea in molds are laboring incessantly to complete the arrangements with Leland Stanford University and California University for a "meet" of their respective varsity crews with the U. of W. crew on the lake next May. This event, if it will reach relaization, will be the climax of the University athletic schedule. The Stanford crew has never pushed the varsity shell over the silvery ripples of Seattle's beautiful course, and if they, with California, visit the northern clime we may hope to see one of the most interesting of intercollegiate meets in the history of the west. The fact that James Knight has been retained to coach the crew, and that he is equally enthusiastic for the consummation of the proposed scheme will go far toward assuring the faithless of realization of the event. Golf the past week has taken its share of interest only Golfing. from those who participate in the playing. Considerable practice has been done by the locals for the meeting of their Spokane opponents, who two weeks since suffered defeat at their hands. The locals have little to fear, it seems to us, from the eastern "putters" if they continue to play with the precision which has thus far characterized their playing.

Billiards as an indoor sport has many advantages as well Billiards. as disadvantages. For one who thinks his muscu- lar development has been carried far enough and cares only to acquire precision and mental breadth, and quickness of perception, billiards are in no way to be disparaged. To a strong and vigorous man, strenuous probably, billiards does not beckon appealingly, except indeed it be in the smaller hours of the evening at the clubs. The tournament at the S. A. C. has been somewhat exciting and the decision to be given the latter part of the week will be looked forward to with much eagerness. With the wooden spheres the situation is not changed Bowling. much from last week. There have been seen better scores on the reckoning board than were made the past week, but a few individual scores were very creditable. "Strikes and spares" were made often, but "splits" equally as often spoiled the advantage of the spares and strikes. In Class A the Centrals have done excellent work, with a result that they now hold first place on a record of 19 games won and 11 lost. The Columbians follow with 17 and 13. Brunswicks, 16 and 14. Class B is led by the Navajoes, 19 and 8. Siwashes, 21 and 9. Individual scores are led by Schervier, with an average of 186, followed by Jenkins, with an average of 185. Amusements PADEREWSKI. Ignace Paderewski was only 18 years of age when he was nominated a teacher of piano and technique in the Warsaw Conservatory of Music at Warsaw, Poland. The elevation of one so young to such a responsible position in the conservatory was an unheard of thing, and it caused wide comment at the time. But the young Pole proved well his abilities to fill the place. For eleven years he had continuously studied the piano with Sowinski, at Padolia; had taken a course in harmony with Ragouski, and Kiel of Berlin. He also devoted much study to Latin history, science, Polish history and general literature. But all this did not satisfy his ambitions, and he took up a three years' course of highest technical practice with Lechetzki of Vienna. Through years of severest practice he became the greatest of contemporary pianists. Paderewski now returns to this country on concert tour, and will be heard in this city on Thursday next at the Grand. Maxine Elliott will appear at the Grand for four performances, starting next Monday night, in the successful Clyde Fitch comedy, "Her One Way," under the management of Charles B. Dillingham. Miss Elliott will be supported by the same notable cast which was seen on Broadway, where Miss Elliott was transferred to three different theaters, and finally to a fourth New York theater, in order that her run in New York might be prolonged.
