Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP THE SLOGAN full distance, they can carry people for a two cent fare the same as they carry them now for a five cent fare for all distances; and if they can make millions of dollars of profit at a five cent fare, at a two cent fare they can pay cost and expenses and give the people the benefit of the profit. In Cleveland, Ohio, where the conditions are the same as here, the mayor of Cleveland, says: "The very best proof, however, that passengers can be carried for a three cent fare lies in the following facts. Since I have been mayor, bids have been asked for the construction of railway lines on streets not now used; capital came forward and deposited the necessary cash bonds as evidence of good faith, and have agreed to construct lines, modern in every detail, and carry people for a three cent fare. If people can be carried by private corporations in Cleveland, Ohio, on all lines for all distances, for three cents, they can be caried by the municipality in Seattle, over all lines, for all distances, at two cents. WHAT DO YOU THINK?—Seattle, according to the calculation made in the directory now in preparation, has gained in population 100 per cent in the last five years, and now has 200,000 population. In the next five years, at the same ratio, she will have 400,000; in ten years she will have 800,000; in 15 years she will have 1,600,000. If the owners of the public utilities can now make a profit of more than $2,000,000 per year and take it out of the city, then in 15 years, when the city has a population of 1,600,000, they will take out eight times as much as they now take, which is an enormous sum of money; in 30 years they will take out of the City of Seattle between $150,000,000 and 200,000,000 all told. If the City of Seattle now grants franchises over all of its principal streets to the Moore-Gilman Company, the Moore-Gilman Company in 40 years will make a clear profit off of the citizens of Seattle of near $200,000,000. Do you wonder that Mr. Moore could say to the council that, at the end of 40 years he would let the people have the rolling stock and improvements made upon their streets at one-half of the appraised value; and he could give them all to the city, and when figuring the cost in proportion to the profit, it would amount to nothing. The people of Seattle, when once aroused, will never consent that the city administration and city council give away to private corporations that great profit that can be made in 40 years by private ownership of the street car system of Seattle, and other public utilities. CITY ADMINISTRATION If the present city administration grants franchises over all of the streets of the city for 30 years or 40 years, at a five cent fare, they will have fastened upon the citizens of Seattle an incubus that will be a great burden for the city to carry. It is now carrying a load that is sapping the very life out of the municipality. When a person stops to think of the matter, there can be no excuse whatever in giving to the private individual or private corporation from one to two hundred millions of dollars in the next 30 or 40 years as a bonus and commission for borrowing three to five millions of dollars to build the street car system. If the applicants for franchises can borrow the money to build the systems, then the administration of this city can borrow the money, by mortgaging the system, to build the system and keep the profits either in the hands of the people directly or in the treasury of the city. A FACT-It is a fact that Hull, England, with 250,000 population, at a two cent fare on all lines for all distances, cleared over and above all expenses $217,029 in 1903; Liverpool, with less than a three cent fare, cleared $868,070; Glasgow, $1,761,285; the Seattle Electric Company, in Seattle in 1904, made a net profit of $711,000; paid $300,000 6 per cent dividends on five millions of preferred stock; paid $615,000 on an obligation for the purchase of the Yesler avenue line, making a total of $1,626,000. The telephone systems claim to have between eight and ten thousand subscribers each. All business phones of the Sunset Company cost six dollars per month; house phones, single lines, three dollars per month; four party lines, $1.50 per month. Say there is an average of three dollars per month for all phones, it would make $30,000 per month for each company, making $60,000 for the two companies. It is safe to approximate that the two companies make a clear profit off of the citizens of Seattle of more than $30,000 per month, making, in 12 months, $360,000. In 15 years, according to the growth of population, they will be making a net profit of $2,880,000 per year. LABORING MAN—The laboring man and his family and the business man and his family are the persons who are paying the enormous profits on the private ownership of the public utilities. It is an enormous tax upon them to pay the two millions of dollars profit to the electric company and to the telephne companies each year. In 30 years it will take from each family, principal and interest, not less than $6000, which they will donate to the promoters and schemers connected with the octopus and will be of no practical benefit to the citizens of Seattle. If the city owns the public utilities and reduces the price of telephones from ten to twenty dollars per year, and the fare upon street cars to two cents, and operates the water and light plants at cost, all the great profit will remain with the people, and will be in Seattle for the benefit of the people, and will aid them in building up their homes, their industries and their public improvements. ONE FARE FOR ALL DISTANCES—The argument is being made that in England and other places where they have a two cent fare over all lines for all distances the conditions are different than in this country; but it must be remembered that when the cars are going the VOL.

It is safe to approximate that the two profit off of the citizens of Seattle of more making, in 12 months, $360,000. In 15 years of population, they will be making a net profit. ONE FARE FOR ALL DISTANCES—That in England and other places where they all lines for all distances the conditions a country; but it must be remembered that wh POLITICAL POT=PIE Hon. Jacob Furth has returned from a three months visit to Europe and has discussed at length the country which he recently visited. Mr. Furth's remarks on municipal ownership were eagerly read by the citizens of Seattle for two very essential reasons. First, because they came from Mr. Furth himself, who is a splendid business man, and never talks at random, and is always anxious to push Seattle along; secondly, because Seattle citizens are deeply interested in the municipal ownership question just now and they knowing Mr. Furth is at the head of the street railway system of this city and had given public utilities, on the part of municipalities, much careful consideration. His observations along this line as given in --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1905 his interviews to the daily papers were not encouraging to those who are advocating Seattle to take hold of the proposition. In the future The Republican will deal more extensively with Mr. Furth's observations of municipal ownership of public utilities in European cities. None of Seattle's citizens from a business standpoint has the public attention to a greater extent than Jacob Furth, and whatever he says bearing on the best interest of the city is always carefully considered by them. In discussing the candidates for mayor last week no mention was made as to what must be the attitude of the caniddates in regard to municipal ownership. This question is very much at issue at present and an effort will be made to have both the Republican and Democratic conventions insert such a plank in their platforms and the candidate, BLICAN SLOGAN carry people for a two cent fare the same as a five cent fare for all distances; and if theyears of profit at a five cent fare, at a two cent and expenses and give the people the benefit of Ohio, Ohio, where the conditions are the same as Ireland, says: "The very best proof, however, carried for a three cent fare lies in the following mayor, bids have been asked for the construct streets not now used; capital came forward carry cash bonds as evidence of good faith, and lines, modern in every detail, and carry people people can be carried by private corporations lines for all distances, for three cents, they municipality in Seattle, over all lines, for all dis- ACTION—If the present city administration of the streets of the city for 30 years or 40 years will have fastened upon the citizens of will be a great burden for the city to carry.

A century after Paul Jones died in poverty and want in a foreign land the United States is tapping her tills to do his ashes honor. How much better would it have looked had Uncle Sam shown some of this respect to Paul Jones himself. It costs nothing to be a gentleman. The Great Northern Railway company has issued instructions to its employees to be polite, courteous and gentlemanly that would be well for people in every walk of life to read and profit thereby. A man can be a gentleman whether he works for a railroad company or is digging sewers in the street; whether he is a millionaire or stricken with poverty.—Ex. ```markdown ``` CITY NEWS. * * * A Woman's Way. Talk about a man's superior strength, but a woman can out general him in many ways when he least expects it. Fitfeenth avenue between Harrison and Republican recently had a little example of the same. Carson L. Larsen, a laborer, was helping to make an excavation adjoining a Mrs. Smith's property. The pit, she feared, would undermine her house, so she ordered him to stop the work. This he refused to do, whereupon she turned the hose upon him. The laborer continued to work and the woman continued to hold the nozzle, out of which water from an inch hose was streaming. Finally, the laborer backed off from the scene well drenched and left the woman mistress of the situation. Mrs. Smith was afterwards placed under arest but no one can say that her idea was not—well, a woman's idea of doing things. Seattle, the City. Much has been written about the good results which Seattle will reap from the Lewis and Clark fair and the following extracts taken from a letter written by Mr. Walter H. Page, editor of The World's Work, gives some insight as to what impressions are really being made upon the thinking men and women who include Seattle in their trip to the Portland fair: 'It's very invigorating—this state of Washington. It is immense. It has everything and people of the best stock. It is the coming new part of the world. Spokane, Lewiston, Clarkston, Yakima, Zillah, Seattle, Bellingham, Tacoma, Everett-I've been to these, and to Vancouver across the line; and I've been on water and by wagon to lesser places—seen orchards, herds, sawmills, mines, wheat, irrigated places—every sort of thing—shipping, salmon canneries, millionaires, country hotels, clubs, private life, skyscrapers (building and trees), ships loaded for New York, Liverpool, Yokohama, Australia—everywhere. Men are making fortunes faster than in any other new part of the United States, and more sorts of men. But there is no frontier. It is civilization. "These people here follow the men who are doing things. They have less regard for politics than we have. I've lost track of national and Eastern events. The papers and the people are local. Everything is looked at here from this coast point of view. They know and like the president, but they don't know nor care for any other man in politics. It's mainly J. J. Hill and local business men that you hear most about. "Alaska and Asia cut a big figure. Twenty millions of gold is coming as the winter's yield to Seattle (weekly boats all winter to Skagway). A ship sailed this morning with a two-million cargo to the Orient—that's what they talk about. "Washington and Oregon are big—no doubt about that. A conservative man told me at the club in Seattle yesterday that in ten or twenty years Alaska will have 1,000,000 people, and Seattle (as its port) 1,000,000—how soon depends on the rapidity of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN opening Alaska by transportation. In Vancouver a railroad president showed me plans for railroads now under way that will make a new empire up toward Alaska. Big things! "Every Yakimayak is 1,000 miles from every Takomish—immense distances! I took a little excursion on a man's private car last week to see one of the great gateways to the Pacific (there are a dozen of 'em), and it took us a day and a part of a night to go, just as long to come back, a colored man and a beef to feed us; and all that. I've got to go tomorrow on a new railroad to get a big story to the foot of Mt. Rainier—sawmills moved about in the woods, a mill to a tree (you can's get the tree to the mill)—the whole camp lighted at night by electricity; and so on to the end of the chapter." LOOK OUT, FRISCO. Seattle's population is now 160,000 souls. A splendid showing, and yet 50 years from now a man dare not guess what the population will be. One almsot wishes to live over again in order to see what a splendid city will one day grow out of what is now but a small neuclus of a city in her semi-pioneer days. A MARK WHICH TELLS The Japanese students all rank high in writing, arithmetic, manual training and drawing in our schools. This speaks well for that part of their home training. If quite a number of American pupils were placed in some foreign school, whether they excelled in some particular branches or averaged evenly would be a telling card for American educational advantages. A LONG FELT WANT. It is rather strange that where persons are supposed to congregate, as at our parks, there are such poor accommodations in the way of lavaratories for ladies. No difference how badly it is needed, there is small chance of getting a face bath, while a decent toilet is out of the question. Where can I find a toilet, little girl? asked a woman of a small child which lived at Madison park. "I do not know ma'am. We lock ours up on Sundays," replied the child. Of course, if one wishes to go up to the pavilion where they sell beer at the round tables, there is a toilet "for women only." And such a one! "You have to visit it," said one mother who had been forced to take her child therein, "to find out what the accommodations are." Most of the places where they sell drinks have similar toilets for women but there should be other places arranged where a woman who does not wish to be seen entering or emerging from some drinking room can be accommodated. A "BLIND PIG!" Some arrests have recently been made upon keepers of pleasure resorts at the different parks. They might have been made some time ago if those who have eyes had chosen to see. Even very small children look in the open doors at some of our parks and see that liquors are being sold. If there FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1905 is much of a pig about such places, one thing is sure, the pig is not very blind. A PLEA FOR CLOTH. A complaint has come in about nude boys bathing at the foot of Mercer street in the bay, and near Madison park. It is said that at neither place the boys think it necessary to wear bathing suits. Now, if there is any suit in the world to which no objections ought to be raised, as to its extravagance in quantity, it is a boys bathing suit. These youngsters should be taught that, although the most of this world was made for them exclusively, the entire thing was not. The extract below was taken from an Ohio exchange, and it is reproduced to show our county officials what queer things happen in the effete East, when there is "something in it for me." Nothing of a like nature never happens in the West, especially in this state, for which her citizens can heartily congratulate themselves. The observations of the writer is as follows: It is entirely probable that the unanimity with which the county commissioners indorsed and urged the closing of a rather shady contract with _____, involving some $50,000, more or less, that resulted in its being thrown overboard by the votes of three honorable members of the Court House Commission. It is also possible that the earnest manner in which Court House Commissioner _____ advocated the hasty closing of the contract admonished his fellowcommissioners_____ to beware of the "graft." Whatever occasioned the defeat of the contract, the taxpayers were the beneficiaries, and they are undoubtedly grateful to the three commissioners who guarded their interests. In speaking of this shady affair, a well known Republican who has had wide experience in political affairs said that it reminded him of several queer looking transactions that had come under his observation. "Not many years ago," said he, "I was accidentally present when the official measurements of a costly stone culvert were being made by the contractor and one of his employes, under the supervision of one of the County Commissioners then in office. As I was merely 'a looker-on in Vienna,' so to speak, I wandered about while the measurers were at work, and happened to be at the opposite end of the culvert, when the employe holding the end of the tapeline, which was being paid out at the other end by the contractor, who was being closely watched by the supervising commissioner. "I was not observed by the workman, and you can probably imagine my surprise at seeing him walk fully ten feet beyond the end of the culvert before giving the signal that he had reached the end. As a matter of fact, I was in no way interested in the work, and was not watching for any crookedness. My observation of it was purely accidental. But the circumstance made me suspicious, and I afterwards asked the employe for an explanation. He merely smiled, and told me to ask his employer about it. He was following instructions. His employer and the County Commissioner were taking ees PS > Bi oe pe ee Ee.

Funny. Wasn’t it? ‘Another ease,’’ continued the gentleman, “‘oeeurred when the Rocky River bridge was THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN replanked with heavy three-inch oak plank- ing, which is quite costly. The contractor had agreed to do the work at a certain price per foot, and when completed he sent in his bill, giving the exact measurement. At the court house his bill was compared with that of a former contractor who had done the same work. On looking up the former entry, with a view to verifying the measure- ments, the clerk looked greatly surprised. ‘It is mighty queer,’ said he, scratching his head and again comparing the figures on the two bills; ‘it is devilish queer that that bridg@ should. have shrunken. six feet in length since it was planked before!’ “But there were the figures, as plain as day. The bloomin’ bridge was exactly six feet shorter than when it had been planked before. I learned afterwards that the last contractor kicked himself, as the saying is, because he had not made out his bill in blank and used the former bill as a guide in insert- ing the measurements. This seems to be the age of graft. nT : The Seattle Republican Established May, 189 - a eer H. R.

Some of the teachers of one of the high schools in New York have been accused of grafting. Many of the pupils were marked ‘backward’? and the sum of $2 a lesson re- quired to bring them up to the sfandard. The pupils claim this was done when they were up in ranks with the class as a whole. Graft, like microbes, seem to be invading some of the most unthought of places. Many remarks have been made concerning the manner in which President Roosevelt eonfers honors, both political and social, upon Vice President Fairbanks. The fact of the matter is, the president is not a selfish man and is not afraid the world will think that he is not president of these United States, if he permits a worthy man to take part of the honors which are rightly counted his own. “There are microbes in fresh eggs and they may be poisonous before they are cooked,’’ one Professor Metchnikoff of the Pasteur Institute has declared upon the wit- ness stand. That takes another strong prop from under those who have been drawing the line upon many foods but eating “ good fresh eggs’? with a hearty good will believing themselves to be outwitting the all swoop- ine army of mierobes. President Roosevelt left Washington the 20th for Massachusetts, and returned to Washington the 23d. During his absence he attended the commencement exercises of Clark University at Worcester and delivered an address, visited Holy Cross College at Worcester and delivered an address, received the degree of doctor of laws at Williams College, Williamsville, and delivered an ad- dress at the college and also one to the gen- eral public. He was back in Washington before breakfast this morning. This is an example of American enterprise well sea- soned with Rooseveltism for you. Archbishop Farley declared at the com- mencement exercises of the College of St. Francis Xavier, New York, that the evils of divorce were fast undermining the walls of society, and that the whole structure would shortly collapse should no hand be raised to ward off the advance of this tendency. The divorce law seems to be one of those evils which the American people first pitied, then endured, then embraced. One of its great- est attending dangers is that advocates of the law are growing in number to such an extent that those who oppose it brook quite a bit of public opinion when they do so, and many men are cowards when it comes to a tie between their heartfelt belief and public opinion. Petitioning the Seattle Electrie Company for better street car service for Ballard will have about as much effect as would a like paper presented to the Czar of all the Rus- sians, asking for a Republican form of goy- ernment.—Ballard Record. FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1905. Some imps of satan tied tin pails to the tails of two valuable horses which had been put into a pasture in the city of Harrison, N. Y. When the horses walked their hind heels struek the pails. They at once took fright an began running; the more they ran the greater the noise. Next morning the two horses were found lying on the ground dead from fatigue and loss of blood. In their effort to free themselves from the pails they repeatedly ran into a barb wire fence which enclosed the pasture. It sounds so unhuman one hates to believe that human beings would wish to so torture a dumb animal, yet the two horses were dead witnesses to the fact. There are persons who would not stop there, but would inflict upon a human being bar- berous tortures. This week a non-union worker in Chicago was captured and knocked down, three fingers of his right hand broken and two of his fingernails torn off. He was then left unconscious in the streets where he was found by a policeman. All humane feel- ing, all love for mankind, seemingly, all fear of God, has passed from the perpetrator of such erimes. CUBA’S PATRON SAINT DEAD. Gen. Maximo Gomez, Cuba’s patron saint, who, according to all laws of latter day eivili- zation, should have been the first president of the Cuban Republic, and who would have been, had not the United States with her army stood between him and the coveted prize, has passed to the Great Beyond. Gen. Gomez, his ‘‘taint’’ of African blood to the contrary notwithstanding, was Cuba’s real liberator and always represented the ‘people’ wherever Cuba was interested. He, with his forces, whipped Spain, but Uncle Sam step- ped in after he had done so and claimed the credit. The Cuban people wanted Gen. Gomez for their first president, but the Uni- ted States officials, who had for centuries nursed the race prejudice teat, objected to him because he had Negro blood in his veins, and almost resorted to the political tacties of Tillman and Vardeman to have a ‘“‘white man’? elected instead of him. President Palma may show an over amount of respect for the dead hero, but it only adds insult to injury, for he was a particep criminis in the crookedness practiced by the United States that cheated Gen. Gomez out of the honor he had wrenched from the Spanish govern- ment at the point of the bayonet. The treat- ment of Gomez by the United States will live in history as has the treatment of Tousant L’Ovelure, the Haytian liberator by Napo- leon, when he, Napoleon, was France. Even Gomez’ pay in the army was withheld until the very day he died. KENTUCKY’S BARBARIANS. One not acquainted with the topography of the country would hardly think the State of Kentucky an integral part of the United States after reading of the bloody feuds that are almost of a monthly occurrence there, and that too among not only her leading citizens, but even among her officers of the law; yea, even her judges and juries, and if they really knew it was a part of the United States, the barbarous conditions that pre- vail among those semi-human beings, who yeside within her confines, would be put down Its to your interest to talk to The Seattle Republican before giving your notices out for publication.

But, dear reader, "one" is mistaken. Kentucky is a favored spot of Uncle Sam's domain, with her cultured, refined and Christian citizens. They are pure Anglo-Saxons (especially those who engage in feuds and in the bribing of the courts) and in short possessing all the qualities requisite to God's elect. Despite all these nice things, last Sunday's Associated Press dispatches told of a condition in which the judge, the jury and the officers of the law were all involved in Fayette county, Kentucky, that came dangerously close to outdoing Hottentot itself, for barbarism. A similar condition prevails in pretty nearly every county in the state, hence "one" would not be far out of the way to pronounce it Hotentot, United States, America. THE TELEPHONE FRANCHISE Viewed on its face, Councilman Lamborn is to be congratulated on the new telephone franchise he introduced in the city council this week. The position which he takes—that, if an exclusive franchise be granted, there should be nothing left unprovided for by which the interests of the city and citizens may be safeguarded—is one which will be generally commended. Briefly summarized the proposed franchise guarantees a first-class service, provides that the work of rebuilding the system shall begin within two months and shall be completed within two years, and that at least $250,000 shall be expended, exclusive of the money already invested here by the company, during that time. The rates to be charged by the company are not to exceed $6 a month for business houses, $3 for residence and 50 cents for desk extensions. It also contains a clause which will prevent the company from selling out to or buying any other telephone company that may at any time come into the city, unless the same be sanctioned by a vote of two-thirds of the city council. Two percent. of the company's gross earnings is to be paid into the city treasury annually, and the franchise can be amended at the option of the council. A further provision is that the city can at any time hire an expert to make an examination of the company's equipment to determine whether or not it is in first-class condition.—Tacoma New Herald. LOSSES OF THE WAR. The losses of the war to date include, on the part of Russia, 80,000 killed, 165,000 wounded and 50,000 captured, or a total of 295,000; while the Japanese casualty list is 75,000 killed, 125,000 wounded and 10,000 captured, or a total of 210,000. The Russian losses were heaviest at Mukden and the Shake river battles, while the Japanese suffered most severely at Mukden and the siege of Port Arthur. The most disproportionate losses on land were at the Shake river and Port Arthur. At the battle of the Shahke river the Russian loss was 67,868 and the Japanese only 15,879, or less than one-fourth of the Russian loss. In the storming of Port Arthur the Japanese lost 45,156, while the Russian loss was 15,448. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The naval losses were still more disproportionate. The Russians lost at sea 15,784 men, while the Japanese lost 1,947. The Russians have lost thirteen battleships, thirteen cruisers, one monitor, one repair ship and three destroyers, all sunk, besides two battleships, two monitors and one destroyer captured. The Japanese have lost two battleships, one cruiser and three destroyers. The following list shows the naval losses and the value of the warships sunk or captured on both sides: ATTENTION HOW ABOUT NOT Its to your The Seattle Repu your notices out fo ```markdown ``` None. Russia's total loss in vessels sunk or captured is $105,610,000, as compared with $14,-000,000 for Japan.

TOURGEE. Albion W. Tourgee is dead. The Reaper has claimed one of the sweet- est and bravest souls the world ever saw. The law has lost a brilliant child. Literature has lost a genius. Humanity has lost a champion who never quailed before the enemy, nor equivocated, nor stammered, nor sac- rificed in public speech or writing one principle of liberty. He excused nothing wrong. Nothing to him was expedient unless it was right; noth- ing was right unless it was expedient. The history of all ages may be search- ed in vain for a braver or more virtu- ous man. The plaudits of the nation never turned him from his duty; the aspersions and threats of his enemies, who were also the enemies of Heaven, never deterred him from a fixed con- viction, which he dared maintain like Garrison, and Phillips and Sumner. These men were his friends. They could not but love him. Tourgee for years was the star of hope to the black people of North Carolina, if not of the whole country. They never looked to him in vain for counsel; they prayed for him as they would a redeemer. He was true to them, as he was to himself, to man- kind, to Heaven. He wrote for jus- tice, he spoke for justice; he died from a wound he received while stand- ing on the battle field facing hell, in order that this nation “might have a new birth of freedom,” and that a “government of the people, for the people, by the people” might not per- ish. As a writer, Tourgee ranks with the great reformers of the world who have appealed to the pen; as a lawyer, his ability is written in the evolution of the judiciary and constitution of North @arolina; as a soldier, his effective service is reflected in the freedom of this nation; as an orator, he was as eloquent as Grady, as truthful as Sumner, as able as Ingalls; as a man, his fame is in the stars. America has produced no stronger man; the world did not know him well. When the history of Reconstruction is written by truth-sayers and not pre- varicators; when the deeds and words of the great men of that time shall be recorded, the name of Tourgee shall stand alongside the names of Grant, Sumner and Lincoln. But even now, his name is carved in the hearts of the few remaining men of this land who have not yet sold their souls for noto- riety, and who still believe in truth and despise error; who know that this nation can edure upon its present THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN foundation no more than it could ens dure upon the foundation of slavery. To black people the world over, his precious and inspiring memory shall be cherished like so many rubies, and his name shall be softly spoken. Mil- lions of these people shall rise up and t crown him with love and admiration, Out of the mouths of babes shall rise to him praise and gratitude. Albion Tourgee is one of the few immortals who were not born to die—Colored C American Magazine. —e PERSONAL, Miss Emma Houston, who has been attending boarding school in Portland since last Christmas, returned home last Monday. Before returning home she took in the Lewis and Clark ex- position, and was much pleased with it. Washington, she says, has the best building on the grounds. The fair on the whole she thinks quite up to the standard, and well worth your attending. Mrs. R. W. Butler is still quite ill with no signs of improvement. Rey. and Mrs. 8, S. Freeman, of the A. M.

Mrs. Samuel Burdett, who formerly lived in this city, but who now resides in Benton county, passed through the city one day this week on her way home. She has been with her sister in Portland, for the past six weeks, who has ben very sick. . Mrs. J. A. Davis and granddaughter wish to thank the friends and ac- quaintances, who rendered them as- siistance in their late bereavement. ‘The funeral of Mr, Davis was held last Sunday, and was largely attended. Mr. J. E. Hawkins has been con- fined to his bed with rheumatism for the past two weeks. Mr. J..E..Shepperson, of Roslyn, passed through the city en route to Portland today (Friday). ‘Two of the White messengers in the postoffice at Memphis, Tenn., quit the office because a Negro special was employed, whereupon, Mr. Dutro, the postmaster, just allowed them to re main quit, and added another Negro messenger to the force. eS NS Choice Covert Coats in the latest man tailored styles, both tight and loose fitting.

During the past week they have had no less than seven electric fans installel, and ev- erybody who has attended the theatre during the past week has noticed the refreshing breeze that springs up im- mediately after the fall of the curtain after each act. This has made “The Girl Engineer” there this week one of the most attractive offerings of the season, although this is the week of the longest days in the calendar year. ‘The Charles A. Taylor Company will be seen for the fourth week of their engagement in Mr. Taylor’s famous comedy-drama, “The Female Detec- tive,” the play for which the present company was specially engaged—in fact, it was the play Manager Russell saw the company in while in New York, and which determined him to bring them to the Coast. A more hu- morous, intricate an] rapid action plot was never dovetailed into a play than Mr. Taylor has devised for the “Fe- male Detectives,” which runs at the Third Avenue Theatre all next week.

Fisk University at Nashville, Tennessee, has long been recognized as one of the foremost institutions in the South in training Negro teachers, physicians and ministers. The need of practical education for the Negro, however, has been felt so deeply even by those who believe in opening all fields of knowledge to him that an effort is now being made to enlarge the curriculum at Fisk University by the addition of a department for the training of leaders in industrial education. The trustees of the Slater fund have offered an annual gift of $5,000 for five years to Fisk for the maintenance of a school of applied science, providing a suitable building is furnished by the university. In order to meet the condition, the friends of the institution are now trying to raise $25,000 for such a building and $5,000 for its equipment. It is proposed to supply facilities of the most practical sort, dealing with the chemistry of paints, varnishes, dyeing and soils; the planting and care of trees, shrubs and flowers; irrigation and drainage, and the building of roads; instruction in the principles of simple engines, and instruction in those greatly needed subjects, hygiene and sanitation.

It is gratifying to note the interest taken in this proposed enlargement of the work of the university by the press and the people of Nashville. Prominent members of the Chamber of Commerce and of commercial associations have approved of the plan, and steps are to be taken to co-operate with the university in the endeavor to raise funds. It will be remembered that Mr. Carnegie recently offered the university $25,000 for a library building. The funeral of Ben Barnett, the young colored man who dropped dead Friday evening of last week, occurred Sunday afternoon, and was largely attended. The funeral procession was headed by the Citizens' Band and the Roslyn Concert Band. The dead man had been the leader of the latter band. Cascade (Roslyn) Miner.
