EPUBLICAN SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1905 D BY THE CORPORATIONS The street car fare paid in the United States, where private ownership prevails, we all know to be five cents a ride, whether it be short or long, which is more than double what is paid to municipal street car companies in Europe, as will be apparent from the following table: Town, Population. Fare. Average Fare. Milan, 440,000, 1 and 2 cents .....1.8 cents Berlin, 1,800,000 .....3.0 cents Budapest, 500,000 .....2.7 cents London, 4,000,000 .....2.5 cents Belfast, 256,000 .....2.2 cents Glasgow, 840,000 .....1.78 cents What is true of gas and water is also true of electric light. While private corporations in Chicago are charging from $105 to $125 per annum per arc light, the following cities have municipal plants and are furnishing the same light for the same period at the following prices: Bangor, Me. $46.00 Lewiston, Me. 52.00 Dunkirk, N. Y. 53.50 West Troy, N. Y. 75.00 Allegheny, Pa. 57.00 Easton, Pa. 95.00 Bay City, Mich. 52.00 Detroit, Mich. 61.50 South Park Plant, in Chicago 57.00 Aurora, Ill. 50.00 Topeka, Kan. 51.00 Little Rock, Ark. 49.50 Wheeling, W. Va. 57.50 Peabody, Mass. 61.50 Braintree, Mass. 61.50 Danvers, Mass. 56.50 Jamestown, N. Y. 49.00 South Norwalk, Conn. 47.50 Seattle, with the natural mountain streams and water falls, can furnish the power over and over again, and can furnish electricity for electric lines and for propelling street cars cheaper than any of the above named cities. Every citizen should be in favor of getting his electric light bill cut down 50 per cent. IT'S PUBLIC UTILITIES SEATTLE SHOULD OWN IT'S PUBLIC UTILITIES services at cost, when the mere statement of the proposition should be sufficient to convince? Municipal ownership is not new in the older countries. Numbers of cities are taking advantage of cheap public utilities and operating their own tramway systems; among which are Bradford, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester, New Castle, Nottingham, Salford, Sheffield and Glasgow; in the United States, there is the city of West Seattle. On page 151 of the special report of the Bureau of Census of the United States, upon street railways, it is said: "Generally speaking, those cities which have introduced electric traction upon an extensive scale seem to show favorable results. In Glasgow, which was the first city in Great Britain to undertake the municipal operation of street railways, the ratio of operating expenses, including a considerable amount of taxes, to operating earnings is 47.7 per cent. It is difficult to escape the conclusion, however, that many of the municipal railways are operated efficiently and economically." On page 153 it is said: "During the past few years there has been a marked tendency toward municipal ownership of street railways in Germany. The total number of municipal plants in 1902 was 34; and the most important cities in which they exist are Cologne, Dusseldorf, Munich, Frankfort, Mannheim, Aix La Chappele, Mulhausen and Halle. The city of Berlin owns one of the less important systems, about eleven miles in length. The large city of Nuremberg has --- Historical Society NORTHWEST SEATTLE REP SEATTLE CITIZENS ROBBED BY WATER WORKS. "The following statistics with relation to the rates paid for water by Illinois cities will convince the most skeptical that the rates charged by private companies for water are much in excess of those charged by publically owned and operated companies: Private water supply ownership. Lincoln, Ill. $18.00 Mount Vernon, Ill. 10.00 Effingham, Ill. 5.50 Alton, Ill. 4.33 1-3 Sterling, Ill. 8.70 Kankakee, Ill. 7.90 Chilcothe, Ill. 9.80 Cairo, Ill. 10.66 2-3 Oak Park, Ill. 10.00 Public water supply and ownership.

Seattle, with its splendid water system furnished by mountain streams, can furnish to consumers water at less cost than any of the eastern cities. Why does it not do it? Telephone charges in the United States are three times the government tariff in England, and also three times the charges permitted by the government in France. In Trondhjem, Norway, with 780 exchange lines, the average rental was $13.25 a year per phone. Subscribers speak to eleven towns, within a radius of fifty miles, for five minutes for five cents. Stockholm has an average of $20 per phone, and communication within a radius of forty-three miles. The Bell Company, bought out by the government, charged $44 for the same service. The public telephone of the Duehy of Luxemburg (forty-four by thirty miles) makes a uniform yearly charge of $16 fo reach phone and each subscriber can talk all over the duchy. In Switzerland, which has an excellent system (metallic circuit), the cities make a moderate charge of $8, plus one cent for each call. In Zurich and other cities the average total rate is $15 per phone per year. In Sweden there are 160 co-operative telephone exchanges, and the average of their charges is $10 per phone per year. (Dunn.) SEATTLE SHOULD OWN IT'S Why should any resident of Seattle, outside of those directly under the employ of the Boston syndicate, oppose municipal ownership? If the Boston syndicate can make immense profits off of the operation of the street car system of this city, why is it the people cannot keep these profits at home by operating the system themselves? The people have to pay the money to the street car company, and by operating it like the city of Glasgow, at cost price, the profits could be saved to the citizens. As the matter now stands, every family in this city pays from fifty to one hundred dollars street car fare per year; some pay two or three times that sum. If operated under municipal ownership at not to exceed three-cent fare, from one-third to one-half can be saved to the families. In Glasgow, the fare does not average two cents. The expense of operating the system will not come off of the taxpayers by direct taxation. It is the system that will be mortgaged and certificates or bonds issued payable out of the income from the system the same as is done with the Cedar River water plant and the Cedar River electric light plant. By municipal ownership of the public utilities, the street car system, the water system, the electric light system and the telephone system can be mortgaged to pay their own expenses of operation, improvement and control, and the services will be furnished to the citizens at cost.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN FRIDAY, JUNE 2 and the same is England, there is a two-cent fare on all lines for all distances. also recently bought one line from a private company; and the same is true of Dresden." Liverpool, Glasgow, Sheffield, Hull, Salford, Sunderland, in England, and Aberdeen and Dunde in Scotland, and Cardiff in Wales, all show that under municipal ownership street car fares have been reduced fifty per cent. What can be done in the old country can be done in Seattle. Suppose that each family can save one hundred dollars per year upon water, light, heat, transportation and telephone service, at the end of ten years it will amount to one thousand dollars and interest. It will be almost enough to secure a good home for the family. It is not so much what we make as what we save that increases our capital. Every voter and every family is directly interested in the ownership of the public utilities and the getting the use of them at cost. In Hull, Seattle, with her splendid water falls and electric light plant and inexhaustible supply of water, can furnish cheap transportation service and beat all of Judge Dunne's cities above mentioned.

The wealth of the Rothschilds, Vanderbilts, Goulds and Astors usually is quoted as though those great estates were undivided, the 20 families of the Rothschilds being given as $650,000,000, of the 14 Vanderbilt families as $450,000,000, of the five Gould families as $150,000,-000 and of the Astore as $150,000,000.

This rating is an estimate made by one of New York's leading financiers. SEEN IN SEATTLE FOR RENT BEING SEEN IN SEATTLE one had to put in his or her application months ahead for the first vacancy. Suites of office rooms brought all the way from $50 to $100 per month. At the present writing office rooms can be found in pretty nearly every big block in the city, and if all the blocks are constructed that are now under headway of construction and planned to be finished within the next few months, there will soon be hundreds of offices "for rent." There is the same reason for this as is found for the storerooms being vacant. The landlords simply want to sell their rooms over to their tenants every month and then kick them out whenever they can find somebody else who will gave them a dollar's raise. As a result of this "gouging policy" on the part of the landlords, men who would be doing business in nicely furnished office rooms are doing whatever they can on the curbstones or are jungled up with someone else to save expenses. Now it begins to look as if the most of the suckers have caught on and will not stand for being bled any more by the merchant and the professional men, and unless they can find a sufficient number of suckers to bleed to pay these exorbitant rents it will be utterly impossible for them to continue in business; hence the "For Rent" sign will become a familiar sight in the store and office windows. Unless the signs of the times, as well as the signs "for rent," are sadly misleading, the landlords of Seattle are destined to give her the worst black eye that she has ever had. To the surprise of the true Seattleite there are to be seen today on Second avenue between Yesler and Pike two large storerooms with "For Rent" in their windows, which signs have been there for the past week. Such a thing has not been seen in Seattle since 1896, and, on general principles, there is no excuse for it being seen at the present time, save and except that the greedy and avaricious landlord is not willing to live and let live. These stores that are vacant at present are only one-story blocks, whose erection did not cost to exceed a thousand dollars, and yet the owners of them have steadily increased the rent of the properties from $30 per month in 1896 to $300 per month at the present time, and small business concerns have found it utterly impossible for them to do more than work for the landlords; hence they are gradually going out of business, and "For Rent" cards are appearing in the windows where but a few months previous flourishing business appeared. Retailers all along First and Second avenues are feeling the same business distress, and unless the avariciousness and greed of the landlords be checked, curbed or regulated Seattle is doomed to a business stagnation that will give her a serious financial black eye. A retail shoe dealer, it comes to us, has to pay $400 per month rent for the room he occupies, besides his other expenses in the way of light and water, which amounts to another $100, which brings the monthly rental of the concern up to $500, to say nothing of the help it must necessarily employ. The firm doing business under such a financial pressure must either rob his customers to a "final fare fare-you-well," or he must go broke and quit business. If the storerooms continue to bring any rent at all it is up to the landlords to make some kind of adjustment of the expenses the merchants have to encounter in order to do business in this man's town. We repeat, it is up to the landlords to either remedy the evil right away soon or see many hundred times as much more "For Rent" signs in the near future. The landlord has been playing the "get rich quick" game a bit too long and the tenderfeet have caught on. There is no reasonable excuse for the owner of a rentable block to expect to double his investment money every year. Persons who can realize 10 per cent on their money, for the most part, feel very well satisfied; but the Seattle landlords strive each year to double their investment money. If you do it, mark you well, you will do so at the commercial injury to your town and to your own property. Do not get financially drunk over "Seattle is the gateway to the Orient," for it does not take very long for the determined American to erect a new gate as well as a new gait to any old place. This condition is not only as to storerooms, but it is even worse as to office rooms. But a few months ago and in order to get an office --- FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1905 Seattle Engraving Co. Fare Free to Fair Here is an opportunity for a large number of young girls and boys, and any others as well, who desire to visit the Lewis and Clark Exposition Lewis and Clark Exposition at Portland without having to pay either your railroad fare, your lodging or your admission to the grounds. How can I? Easy enough. Rustle a few new subscribers for The Seattle Republican and we will do the rest, and you yourself can go. For every person sending The Seattle Republican from Spokane or that vicinity twenty-five (25) new subscribers cash in advance each, $2 per year, $50, a ticket to Portland and return will be given them.

Persons living in either Seattle or Tacoma or their immediate vicinities, who will send The Seattle Republican fifteen (15) new yearly subscribers a ticket to Portland and return, a day's board and lodging and two admissions to the Exposition grounds will be given them. Ex-Senator John Wooding, at the Shakespeare banquet the other night, told how they came to change the name of "Slaughter" to "Auburn." An old lady, a "Tenderfoot," on the train, was struggling with the name "Puyallup" when the conductor called out names which instead of puzzling her, had a frightening effect, "Derringer" just caused her to start, but "Stuck" was a shock, and when "Slaughter" was shouted fro mthe fog-horn throat of the con. she fainted. John has been so long in politics that no one questions the truth of his stories and statements.

The Tonopah mines are said to have been discovered by the paw of an ass, hence the discoverer was an "ass," as he has been drunk ever since. The Lewis and Clark Exposition at Portland, Oregon, is now a living thing, it having been formally born yesterday, Thursday, June 1st. Now, Miss Portland, it is up to you. In giving Whatcom County the oil inspector job we are reminded that the governor of the state calls that his home, and he seems to imagine that Whatcom County is the whole state. Now that Hobson, the osculator, is a benedict, he can osculate to his heart's content, but we are willing to wage our last year's boots that it will be the other fellow's wife from now on that he will want to osculate. The man who spends his whole life in grasping business enterprises and that too after he has accumulated enough to maintain a thousand families in comfort to the end of their natural lives, he is too mean to die, and that accounts for him living to extreme old age. The city council of Philadelphia seems to be the most criminal rascals ever elected to such a position. All councils except this one have always done things under cover, but these rob their city in wide open. Are not city councils dangerous experiments, after all? It is estimated that the number of both freight and passenger trains on the various lines entering Seattle during this summer will number about eighty a day. This, of course, does not include the water-borne commerce which arrives and departs from Seattle every day in the year. It is currently reported that Norway and Sweden are receiving attention from Mars just now and he has worked them up to the point of crossing swords at any time. Some one has said, "war is hell," and we cheerfully recommend this text to these belligerents for their careful consideration before taking. The constitutional limit of bonded indebtedness for the state of Washington is $1,400,-000. It already has a bonded indebtedness --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN of $1,300,000, and Attorney General Atkinson declares he will enjoin the governor and the other state officials if they attempt to increase the present bonded indebtedness of the state. It begins to look as if there is a row on between the governor and the attorney general's office. Hillman's dealings in real estate have been declared tainted with criminal conspiracy. It appears that a snake, wrapped in the skin of "false pretences," crawled into his "Garden of Eden" also and as a result man fell, however, without any particular woman on whose shoulders the responsibility might be lain. According to the prediction recently made by Jim Ham Lewis in a speech at Chicago, Uncle Sam sooner or later is destined to be involved in war with China and Japan. Evil to him who evil thinks. If Uncle Sam had not been doing something that he ought not to have been doing there would not be this great terror of war between what are now friendly nations. Dr. Leiser of New York, who claimed last year to have discovered a sure cure for consumption, now declares that eight months' use of this cure has only increased his confidence in it. Out of one hundred cases treated by him he has lost only one case. If scientific research can eventually find a cure for tuberculosis germs a long-felt want will be supplied in the way of saving the lives of hnudreds of worthy men and women which the world gives up with such reluctance. J. E. Smith and E. Gilsan, who took 16 year-old Esther Johnson into a lodging house while she was badly intoxicated, were heavily sentenced. Police Judge Gordon thought best for each of them to pay a fine of $100, and also serve thirty days in the city jail. The sentence meets public ap proval. The laws of the state go a long ways toward protecting girls under the age of consent from criminal advances of both single and married men. It only remains for those who have the power to do so, to enforce them. To fully appreciate a device to protect fire hose which is in use in some of the Eastern cities, one has only to be on a Seattle street car in time of a fire, when a fire hose is stretched across the track. Cars line up for a block and passengers may read their newspapers if they have any with them, or hold their hands if they do not care to read, just because there is a fire hose across the track. There is a way of elevating the track above the hose, and it would save quite a bit of annoyance in Seattle if the simple patented arrangement were generally adopted. Just as styles in dress change, so do excuses for crime. Last year women wore their sleeves big at the wrist, but this year the "swagger girl" has her sleeves large at the shoulder and small at the wrist. A few years back criminals pretended to lose their minds completely to keep from losing their lives, but the criminal problem of today is much more of a puzzle. Crimes are now committed unconsciously while in a secondary life. People commit crimes while under hypnotic influences. These are some of the very latest in the criminal world, and until new fads (excuses) are sprung upon a susceptible public, will doubtless be well worked. The people of Philadelphia have made a strong fight and won a decisive victory, and the attempted steal of the city's gas plant has been averted. Whenever public opinion is sufficiently strong it has a telling effect, and the good citizens of a community have in it a means to an end if they will organize it to an appreciable degree. This being true, there is no need of idly bemoaning this or that defect in our municipality. Each and every one of us is responsible to an extent for the the condition of affairs, good or bad, in Seattle. Russia met a most crushing defeat at the hands of the Japanese last Saturday and Sunday, when her entire naval force in the far East was either sent to the bottom or captured, Admiral Rojesventsky being also made a prisoner of war. Russia still has a unnumbered army of infantry with which she can prolong the war, but the odds are quite against her at present, and it seems the sooner she sues for peace the better for her internal affairs, as they, too, are almost in a revolutionary state. In the firee fight the Japanese did not lose a single vessel, while the Russians lost twenty-two war vessels and thousands of soldiers. Down in Arkansas they have introduced hugging societies to swell the church treasury, and an Arkansas paper gives the following scale of prices: Girls under sixteen, 15 cents for a short squeeze; from sixteen to twenty, 50 cents; schoolma'ams, 40 cents; another man's wife, $1; widows, according to looks, from 10 cents to $3; old maids, 3 cents or two for a nickel and not any limit of time. Preachers are not charged. Editors pay in advertising, but are not allowed to participate until everybody else is through, and even then they are not allowed to squeeze anybody but old maids an dschoolma'ams. Ex. A Missouri paper says that a new judge arose to charge the jury and spoke as follows: "Gentlemen of the jury, charging a jury is a new business to me, as this is my first case. You have heard all the evidence, as well as myself. You have heard what the learned counsel have said. If you believe what the counsel for the plaintiff has told, your verdict will be for the plaintiff; but if, on the other hand, you believe what the defendant's counsel has told you, then you will find a verdict for the defendant; but if you were like me, and don't believe what either of them said, then I'll be d—d if I know what you'll do. Constable, take charge of the jury."—Ex. Its to your interest to talk to The Seattle Republican before giving your notices out for publication. Phones, Main 305, Ind. 1306 Office 214 Columbia St. FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1905 POLITICAL POT=PIE The Pie-maker is of the opinion that serious differences have arisen between Governor Mead and Attorney General Atkinson, and unless mutual friends intervene the two will be bitter enemies before the next four years passes into history. Mr. Atkinson returned from an extended trip in the East one day this week and he had no sooner gotten cleverly into the state than he was telling a reporter the fur would fly if the governor persisted in trying to run all of the state offices. As yet there has been no retort on the part of the governor, but there is an undercurrent going the rounds of the politicians just now to the effect that there will be something doing in case the supreme court gives a favorable decision to Port Townsend, making it possible for the state to purchase her water works bonds. * * * The oil inspector went to Whatcom county to the surprise of some of Governor Mead's closest personal and political friends. Just why a governor elected to represent the entire state should openly give the entire state to understand that the county from whence he came was and is the entire state in the way of his appointees is a rather strange thing to the average politician. That, however, appears to be the exact idea that Governor Mead seems to want to create. Evidently he reasons the thing out that he has reached his limit and he had better make the best of it while it is in his power. * * * Within the week Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks visited the city on his way to the Portland exposition to represent the President at its opening ceremonies. The last time Mr. Fairbanks was in Seattle the people in general were on the anxious seat lest Billy Bryan be elected president over William McKinley and bring financial ruin and disaster to the country, and they sought of him some encouraging words aside from the stump speech advice, if in his opinion such was probable, and we remember how his exhortation did encourage each and every Republican. How on the night he spoke at the old Armory hall, for those words of encouragement, he was cheered to the echo by the few Republicans there assembled, for, be it remembered, in 1896 there were but few Republicans in the state of Washington. * * * Speaking about Governor Mead and his appointments, the same being controlled by ex-Senator John Wilson, a friend of the latter told the following rather laughable joke at his expense: "I was at a gathering of prominent Republicans one day last week and to my chagrin a majority of those present were giving Senator Wilson down the country, and that, too, in no very choice language, about his controlling the various appointments made by Governor Mead, and they occasionally swatted it to the governor just about as hard, if not a little harder, than they did to Wilson. The tennor of their complaint was that Mead never made an appointment without consulting Senator Wilson, and that the two of them were building up a powerful political machine in the state to absolutely control the political situation in the future. I had not had time to pay very much THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN attention to the political drift for the past few months and so seeing so much smoke I thought there must be some fire somewhere. A few days thereafter I, however, was with the senator, and in the course of a political conversation he said to me: 'Well, it does seem to me that the governor would have permitted me to have given some one or two of my personal friends places under his administration, in view of the fact that he owes his election to the efforts the P.-I. put forth for him in the late, now memorable, state campaign.' I said nothing to him about what I had heard from another source as to him controlling Governor Mead, but I did a whole lot of thinking. I am now convinced that Senator John L. Wilson has took no part whatever in any of the appointments made by the governor, and, in short, he is under no political obligations to Governor Mead or to anyone else." If Senator Piles thinks that a threat to resign the office of United States senator will stop criticism of his appearing as an attorney for a local packing house, even though it be coupled with the fearful intimation that he will likewise leave the state, he has missed his guess. Why, man, it will only afford an incentive for the critics to do their worst, if they see the bluff and raise the pot. It seldom happens that a United States senator resigns, and it is much more probable that he will ante for another buck. Mr. P.'s practice, it will be noted, was not so lucrative before election as senator, that he could lift a mortgage on his home, and it seems strange that it is a matter of such prime importance now.

With beautiful white dresses, slippered feet, flowing ribbons and sweet, placid faces, they will stand before us, and the thoughts which we send to them must be from mental curtains, bedecked with flowers to screen them from the realistic. Naught must mar the success of commencement day, for which they have so unceasingly labored. Every one who claims as a friend one of these prospective graduates will have the opportunity of investing a small lamount in the way of a graduating present. Stickpins and beauty pins of any sort will be welcome presents. No girl ever seems to be able to accumulate more of them than she wants. Bracelets are going to be much worn, this summer on account of the short sleeves, and as the variety in the shops is great and growing, the eager purchaser will be able to supply any want in this line. One naturally thinks of books as appropriate gifts, since Miss Graduate is supposed to have developed an appetite for solid reading, but books are just what she does not wish for on commencement day, although she smiles sweetly when receiving them. Flowers, though they will wilt and fade, are what she wishes and will be pleased to receive. A commencement day without flowers is no commencement day at all. If there is in a graduating class one who must of necessity economize, there will be ample opportunity for thoughtfulness in the way of commencement presents, for by presenting some bit of finery to help out on her dress before the graduating day two hearts will be made glad, and there will be sunshine in two lives, casting a radiance as sweet as the fragrance which the lovely flowers disperse promisciously. Disappointment No. 13. The United States Supreme Court has ruled against Senator Piles in the Sullivan estate, and so far as the decision goes the Callighan heirs have no rights to the estate, and while it did not go so far as to say Marie Carrau was the rightful heir, yet as much was DECCRATION OR MEMORIAL DAY. To the true patriot it is always a pleasure beyond measure to stand on the street and watch the proud step of the old veteran of the great Civil war on Memorial or Decoration day. The old soldier of the great Civil war is by odds the most important soldier of the United States, with the exception of the veterans of the War of the Revolution (and there are no more of them) ever boasted of. While Memorial day is not intended for rejoicing, yet one cannot but feel a sense of happiness all over him when he observes the slow and measured tread of the old soldier as he marks time to the martial music which, to him, is a fountain of immortal youth, for though he is a year older than when he last appeared on such an occasion, yet the rattle of the drum and the fife's shrill notes brings youth to his heart and joy to his soul. A most beautiful custom is this Decoration day, which is the creation of the "old soldier" of the great Civil war. It is a never forgetfulness of those who crossed the great divide between life and death on the bloody battlefield as well as those who have died since the last Decoration day. Eternal mourning for the dead is by no means a pleasant duty, but keeping their memories green and planting sweet flowers on their resting places is a custom that seems to bring man near to his Creator. The old soldier decorates with as keen satisfaction the comrades' graves of whom he knew nothing as the one who was shot down by his side. So revered has the custom become that the old implied. The matter is destined to be in the courts for many years yet to come, for if the attorneys interested in the estate who are associated with Senator Piles find they will not be able to hold the same, then they will, in the opinion of one who seems to know whereof he speaks, lend a helping hand to the attorney-general and the prosecuting attorney of King County to have the estate escheated to the state for the benefit of the public school fund. The will by which Miss Carrau lays claim to the estate has been much hooted at since it was first filed, and it has been frequently doubted if such a conversation as she alleges ever at any time passed between John Sullivan and the woman who wants his thousands. The man with a fortune and does not direct how it is to be disposed of after he is dead while he is alive shows that he is soft under the hat. AT THE THEATRES The Third Avenue Theater is going to be kept open later than usual this summer. Manager Russell, on his return from New York last Sunday, brought with him an entire theatrical outfit, i. e., company, scenery, properties and even the author and producer of the play—so that all the Third Avenue Theater had to furnish were the stage and theater. The cost of bringing such a combination was stupendous, yet the Seattle manager undertook it with as little forethought as is usually devoted to the purchase of a collar button. The deal was consummated between Managers Taylor and Russell in a few minutes, and printing was shipped to Seattle for the entire series of plays within a few hours, and in two days the entire enterprise was put in motion and started towards the Pacific Coast. The company that will be seen in Mr. Taylor's production at the Third Avenue Theater this summer is guaranteed to be superior to any like organization that has ever appeared in Seattle. The opening play will be "Escaped From the Harem," a powerful play, with the scenes laid in New York and India. The enterprise is deserving of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN --- liberal patronage, and the eyes of the entire theatrical profession are focused upon the outcome, and Seattle cannot affo'd to be considered but what it has in the past—the best show town on earth. Popular Chauncey Olcott, clever comedian and charming singer, comes to the Grand next Sunday and will be seen in a new and magnificent production of one of his most popular successes, which ran for nearly five months in New York on its first pre- Union soldier will now decorate th whoh he himself eagerly shot dow Union soldier will now decorate the grave of the Confederate soldier whom he himself eagerly shot down in the heat of battle. In this we truly find the "fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man," and this is as it should be. Last Tuesday was Decoration day, and it was generally observed throughout the entire country. The parade in Seattle was, perhaps, the best that has been seen on her streets on any similar occasion. The cussedness of the police force to the contrary notwithstanding, it made a most favorable impression while in the parade. Chief Delaney did not sit quite as straight on his horse as did some of the former chiefs, but when we remember that he cleaned the city out of her thugs and hold-ups in twelve months, his position on horseback did not look half so bad as if he had been standing in cohoots with the thieves and making Seattle a rendezvous for them ever since he was named as her chief of police. Uncle Sam's "boys in blue" were the ideal soldier, and their every move demonstrated the wonderful training they are compelled to undergo from time to time. The old gray-haired veterans were the "boys' that attracted general attention, and they were heartily cheered as they passed by the various business blocks whose windows were packed with smiling spectators. The graves of the old soldiers, the friends and the relatives of the citizens in general were elaborately decorated during the afternoon, where thousands of persons assembled. The day was an ideal one and it was enjoyed in the fullest by one and all. iahan FINE AIR SUITS the best of the season's styles, trimmed; shapely new skirt styles, Graham's FINE MOHAIR SUITS $25.00 Fine Mohair Suits in the best of the season's styles, well made and neatly trimmed; shapely new skirt styles, excellent values at .....
