Seattle Republican

historical society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XII, NO. 17 POLITICAL POT-PIE It begins to look now as if it were a made up thing between the railroad interest of this state and their political strikers to have both the railroad commission law and the state tax commission law passed, its strenuous opposition to the contrary notwithstanding. The railroads propose to elect the next governor of the state and he will appoint members of the two commissions of the railroad interest's liking and these will control the board for the next twelve years, and by that time the railroads will have gotten all they want from the state and will be able to wipe their hands clean and clear of politics. The actions of the present railroad commission clearly demonstrates that the members thereof are railroad politicians and nothing will be done by either commission that will be detrimental to the railroad interest of the state. --- Tacoma promises to be the political hotbed of the campaigns of next year of this state. Already the selection of a mayor is giving the politicians much worry in Tacoma. That the Democrats will renominate Mayor Wright goes without saying, but who the Republicans will nominate is the question. Many names have been spoken of in that connection, but none of them seem to have struck the popular cord, hence the mention of other names are in order. --- State Senator Welch, of South Bend, was in Seattle one day this week and shook hands with his many friends in the city. "I know no politics now," said the senator in reply to "What was doing?" "In fact," he continued, "I do not think there is anything doing at all among what are termed the politicians of the state. I do not know whether I will be a candidate for re-election or not. If I served my constituents well while in the senate they will let me know it by offering me a second term." --- It has been practically decided by the local politicians that the Seventh ward is to be reprecincted and instead of eight the ward will have fifteen precincts. The boundaries have been so fixed as to meet the approval of all of the politicians and ward workers and the honor for the most part is due to the work of Councilman Mullen. The city will have thirteen wards instead of nine after the next election, and before that time the most of the wards will be reprecincted and thereby make primary elections more wieldy. --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1905 [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a necklace, looking serious and dignified.] SHERWOOD GILLESPY. TALES OF THE TOWN Mutual Life's Finish. The remodeled Mutual Life building of this city is receiving its finishing touches. Its exterior shows one of the most handsome blocks of this city and its interior is simply a dream. On the first floor General Manager Sherwood Gillespy has fitted up offices for the company and there is no doubt of the fact that they are the most elaborately fitted up offices in the Northwest. Mr. Gillespy has become thoroughly identified with the progress of Seattle and he has convinced his company that in Seattle a strong competitor of Greater New York is to be found, and that money spent in Seattle would be money well spent. His advice was heeded and the company first bought the old Yesler block and renamed it the Mutual Life block, then after a few years they bought contiguous property and put on an addition to the original block, which addition is now being completed and the Mutual Life Insurance Company has one of the finest pieces of property as well as one of the most imposing buildings that's to be found in Seattle and will hold its own even when Seattle has become Greater Seattle. Ruining Small Merchants. The regrading of Third avenue and Yesler Way may be good things when they have been completed, but just now the work is ruining a score or more of small merchants who have been doing business in that immediate vicinity. The work is dragging along like unto a snail crossing a wagon track, the contractors not seemingly caring when the work is completed nor how much PRICE FIVE CENTS financial damage they do those merchants. Some days the contractors have a dozen or so men at work and then for days they have no one at work. The Republican hopes the board of public works will see to it that those contractors get a move on them that the street can be cut down before the rainy season sets in. A Suggestion for Charity. While so much good work is being done for the foreign mission in our city and the public is awake to its brother's needs it would be nothing amiss to look into our home life a bit so far as the poor children of our city are concerned. Are there not some needy ones in our midst? Are we doing all that we can for them? Are we quite sure that there is not more than one child in our schools who goes there morning after morning without sufficient breakfast? Other cities are awaking to the needs of the underfed child and Seattle has reached that place in her history where if she leaves this question unsolved the future will bear an undesirable harvest. It has been said that the way to develop an independent and self-reliant class of workers is to begin with the children—an ever hopeful field in which to work—and see that they are physically well developed. Efforts in that direction will also be an incentive towards their moral elevation. One of the best ways in the world to do this is to see that the poor children of the city are not underfed. The spirit of charity in Seattle is broad and can accomplish great things when well directed. Whittlesey and Padden Released. The criminal charges against Charley Whitlesey and P. P. Padden, his chief deputy, have been dismissed. Somebody during the Whitlesey administration robbed the county of many thousand dollars, the county has spent almost as many more thousand dollars trying to convict some one for the act, but after four years' struggle it gives up the ghost and pronounces it a hopeless case. Oh, what a difference in the morning had Whitlesey and Padden been charged with stealing a loaf of bread to keep soul and body together. Somebody is at fault for the looters of the county funds not now being behind the bars at Walla Walla. That the money was stolen both of them admit. If it were, who, in heaven's name, was more responsible for it than the principal and his chief deputy. But both of these men had money, of course they did, they had powerful friends and their peculations of the county's funds had to be looked over. If as soon as it was discovered that there was a shortage in Treasurer Whitlesey's accounts both he and Padden, his deputy, had been arrested and vigorously prosecuted, if they were not the culprits, the real ones would have soon come to light. The disposition not to push criminal cases against men with influence in the community is so common that the average poor man has come to realize that when a rich and influential man steals he will always by some hook or crook escape the strong arm of the law. Cadets' Campaign Dilemma. Quite a stir has been made in cadet circles owing to the fact that school officials still adhere to the policy of prohibiting the high school cadets from taking a week or so from their studies during May for a military camp held with the cadets of Tacoma and other high schools. It is understood that the national guard or army officers are more interested in the military side of the camp and pay little attention to other details—the result is, morals suffer. From early childhood to boyhood these cadets have nightly knelt at mother's knee and prayed: "Lead us—not into temptation—but deliver us from evil." Why, then, send him out where he may learn lessons which will take from the final perfection of his young life. In May a member of the school faculty cannot absent himself for the encampment and without a member of the faculty it is unfair to the mothers to permit their sons to go into camp, and unfair to the cadets, themselves, not to throw protection around them the advisability of which they will appreciate much better ten years from now than they could possibly do at this period in their lives. Shall We Mutilate. The new ruling that every scholar must become an immune by being vaccinated is meeting with considerable contention from the mothers of the scholars. Secretary Ludlow of the board of health says: "If a child is vaccinated and it does not take the operation is to be repeated until that aim is accomplished." Some mothers stoutly object to having their children's arms "mutilated" as this yearly vaccinating mutilates them. Cases where arms have been amputated as a result of vaccination and various sores have ravaged from impure blood caused by the same, have been cited by these indignant parents, but all to no avail. The edict has gone forth and if the children wish to attend school they must take their medicine and be good. It does seem a pity, however, to scar the arms of the dear little girls—boys don't count. A little girl who has attended school nine years and been vaccinated ten or twelve times—well, we can imagine what her arms would look like. "Vaccinate them on the legs, then," suggests an old sinner who never had one of the little darlings in his own home. There he left the discussion, and so will we. Washington Found Guilty. Seattle's poundmaster, Walter Washington, has been fined $52 for cruelty to a cow. Mr. Washington was accused of breaking off the animal's horn while in an angry mood. He, however, denies the charge and claims that enemies are at the back of the prosecution. He gave notice of ap- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN peal to the superior court. Justice George decided that the state made sufficient showing to determine the man's guilt and therefore fined him. If he is guilty, and we have to take the decision of the court in such matters whether we would or not, there is no reason why he should not be dismissed from the city service. A man who has no more control over his temper than he was accused of having ought not to have under his supervision dumb animals who can feel the pain of the lash or the thud of a heavy boot, yet cannot speak one word in their defense. Carnegie's Epitaph. "Here's a man who wants 'Damned white' of him used as his epitaph," said the man who was reading a newspaper on the street car. "I bet that was Carnegie," replied a man who sat next to him. So it was, as all who were near enough to hear the explanation learned. Some one to whom Mr. Carnegie had sent word that he would assist him in a very substantial way replied: "That's Damn white of Andy." When Mr. Carnegie heard of the remark he said: "That sentiment must go on my tomb. It will surely be my epitaph." In keeping with the same thought comes the reminder that Librarian Smith has received the sixth installment of the Carnegie fund for the Seattle public library, amounting to $20,000. More than half of the total of $220,000, the amount of the contribution by Mr. Carnegie, has been received and appropriated for the cost of this structure. The building is little more than half completed. IN THE WORLD OF FLOWERS Seattle has had carnival after carnival held by different associations, but November 10 will usher in something quite novel in the way of carnivals. The Florists' Association of Washington will give exhibits numbering sixty-seven for the delightful entertainment of the Seattleites who take an interest in the beauties of the flower kingdom and incidently stimulate a similar taste in those who are lacking therein. This will be an initial movement of the kind in this city and is of much interest for more reasons than one. The fact that such an exhibit is to be given here at all demonstrates how much our city has grown, while the rivalry which the various contests produce will be fruit bearing in as much as they encourage general thoroughness and an improved class of work in flower culture. Chrysanthemums are to figure largely in the exhibits, November being the month in which they are most flourishing. Numerous varieties of palms and blooming plants of all descriptions will be exhibited. For the finest of each separate order exhibited handsome trophies are to be awarded. Definite arrangements and an official program has been outlined and compiled and will soon be before the public's eye. Seattle's first Flower carnival deserves encouragement and should be well patronized. CHILD WIT The Weaker Sex Stands Together.— "Which do you love most, your papa or your mamma?" Little Charlie: "I love papa most." Charlie's mother: "Why, Charlie, I thought you loved me most." Charlie: "Can't help it, mamma. We men have to hold together." A Deadlock in the House.—"Mamma." "Well, Freddy?" "You whipped me last week for whaling Jimmy Watts, and papa whipped me yesterday 'cause Johnny Phelps walloped me." "Well?" "I'm wondering, mamma, what'll happen when it's a draw." Why She Didn't Laugh.—A little three-year-old girl went to a children's party. On her return she said to her parents: "At the party a little girl fell off a chair. All the other girls laughed, but I didn't." "Well, why didn't you laugh?" " 'Cause I was the one who fell off." Two of a Kind.—A lady gave her little niece a beautifully mounted stuffed kitten. "But, aunty, I can't take it!" exclaimed the little girl. "Why not?" "Because I've got some little birds." "This cat won't catch your birds; it's a stuffed cat!" "But my birds are stuffed ones, too." Fishing With Faith.—Boy (on the stump, who has been patiently watching the strange angler for about an hour): "You ain't caught anything, 'ave yer?" Stranger: "No, not yet, my boy." Boy: "P'raps the reason is there wasn't no water in that pond till it rained last night." Grandpa's Absentmindedness.—A little girl who was trying to tell a friend how absentminded her grandpa was, said: "He walks around thinking about nothing, and when he remembers it, he then forgets that what he thought of was something different from what he wanted to remember." More Loving Than it Seemed.—Walter's mamma was very sick with rheumatism, and he was rubbing her arms, when she said: "Walter, it is too bad that mamma is such a trouble to you." Walter replied: "Never mind, mamma, if you are only just alive, we don't care how much you suffer." Finance in the Home Circle.—"Children, we will now have an example in division. Tommy Tiggley, if your father brought home $10 to divide with your mother, what would she get?" "Ten dollars." "Tommy, you don't know your lesson." "No, ma'am, but I know my mother." Edith's Morbid Honesty.—"O, mamma," cried Edith, "I found a little flea on kitty, and I caught it!" "What did you do with it?" asked her mother. "Why, I put it back on kitty, of course. It was her flea." Evidence in Plain Sight.—"Is your little brother in the house, Jimmy?" "Sure he is. Don't yer see his shirt hangin' on the line?" Keeping His Place.—Irate Mamma—"Why didn't you get the things I sent you to the store for?" Son—"I had to wait so long, I forgot what you wanted." Mamma—"Then why didn't you come back and find out?" Son—"I was afraid, you know, if I left to come back I would lose my turn." FRIDAY. SEPT. 22. 1905.

SOME RECENT GREAT TREATIES When France went to war with Austria in 1859, the object of the war was well defined, and peace was concluded without much haggling on the part of the defeated government. The results of the short campaign against Denmark in 1864 were a foregone conclusion, the military odds being so unequal that the resistance of the Danes to the Austro-Prussian forces was perfectly hopeless. The war of 1866 came to a speedy termination with the collapse of the Austrian army through the threatened defection of the Hungarians after the defeat at Sadowa; and the object having been solely to throw Austria out of the Germanic confederation, in order to prepare the way for the war with France and the proclamation of the German Empire four years later, the terms of peace were imposed by the conqueror without further resistance on the part of the helpless Austrian government. The negotiation of the treaty of peace between France and Germany in 1871 came nearer to that between Russia and Japan at Portsmouth, N. H. There was the same uncertainty during the progress of the conference as to whether the war was to go on, and the same struggle as to terms. There was resistance to cession of territory and to the amount of indemnity to the victor, but the military collapse and political conditions of France made peace at any price impera- ```markdown ``` THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN tive, and with some slight modification in the rectification of frontier favorable to France and the striking off of one milliard of the indemnity, due, it was said, to the British government, the treaty of Frankfort was finally concluded. The next treaty of peace of importance was that of San Stefano in 1878 between Russia and Turkey after the war of 1877, that of 1876 between Servia and Turkey being practically imposed on both parties by the European powers. This peace carried with it an indemnity of about $180,000,000, only some thirty millions having yet been paid. The other conventions after wars that have been made since were the Japanese-Chinese treaty of peace at Shimonoseki in 1896, our treaty with Spain in 1898, and the treaty of surrender by the Boers at Vereeniging in 1902 to the British. But none approaches in importance the treaty that was signed at Portsmouth, N. H., on Sept. 5, 1905. After favorably speaking of Dr. S. Laing William's speech in New York on the bravery of the Negro strike breaker in the teamster's strike in Chicago, the St. Paul (Minn.) Dispatch says: "The Negro demonstrated his courage in the civil war as those who saw the 'black brigade' charging and recharging on Port Hudson's earthworks can testify. But it took a higher courage for those men to march through Chicago's streets between the lines of that howling mob than it did to charge the works behind which Pemberton's soldiers were giving bloody welcome. The excitement of the fight was lacking the stimulus of action, the frenzy of battle. Moral courage is always higher of quality than physical, and the Chicago situation called more for that than for the former." The inventor of the Bertillon system of identifying criminals from finger prints, Alphonso Bertillon, is said to be a very quiet man, and looks more a scientist than a detective. He should be a quiet man lest he shoo away the criminals. Improvement and Growth BETTER TEACHERS AND A BETTER COURSE OF STUDY Pitman and Gregg Shorthand. Progressive and Practical Bookkeeping.

SEATTLE, WASH. --- EX-CONFEDERATES IN CONGRESS The fortieth anniversary of Appomattox finds twenty-six veterans of the Confederate army in Congress. An analysis of this representation is interesting at this time when what the South calls its "old guard" is gradually growing less. Out of the eleven states of the Confederacy, seven are represented in the House and seven in the Senate. South Carolina and North Carolina do not appear in the list, but Kentucky, which did not join the Confederacy, has two Confederate veterans in the Senate. Alabama, Florida and Mississippi each has two senators who fought for the South, and Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia and Virginia each one ex-Confederate in the Senate. Five of the twelve senators served in the ranks. In the House the "old guard" contingent includes three from Alabama, three from Georgia, two from Virginia, one each from Louisiana and Mississippi and two each from Texas and Tennessee. Five states are represented in both houses by Confederate veterans—namely, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi and Virginia. The percentage of Confederate survivors in the Senate is most noteworthy. The eleven states of the Confederacy have twenty-two senators, and ten of these fought for the cause which went down at Appomattox. Despite the fact that the Empress of Japan is fifty-six years of age, it is said she is the most beautiful woman in Japan, and even that is not saying very much in praise of a pretty woman.

Now that Mr. Rockefeller has donned a "top piece" the sharp tongued American wits will have to seek a new butt other than his bald head upon which to crack their jokes. United States army officers are doing a rushing business leaving Uncle Sam's service and enlisting in the Chinese army at fabulous wages. China hopes by such means to modernize her army. If the prediction of Hon. J. W. Arrasmith, state grain inspector, counts for anything this state will harvest about 30,000,000 bushels of wheat this year. That means a good many more bloated bondholders among the farmers. Over 10,000 Jewish immigrants arrived at the port of New York during the month of August. Of these, 7,642 were Russians, 1,195 Austrians, and 671 Hungarians. About 3,000 of the number left the city of New York, while about 7,000 remained. Last Sunday the missionary board that had been in session in Seattle for the most of the previous week raised $21,500 in just twenty one minutes. There is no doubt but that the wealthy Seattle man has a warm spot for the heathen "way down in his heart." It is rather refreshing to learn that age limits have been dropped by the Chicago and Alton railroads, by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy lines. Dr. Osler's opinion is evidently not in favor in railroad circles. If there are not hundreds of idle old men and worthless young men in Tokio who think that they could have done better than Baron Komura in negotiating peace terms then the Japanese differ very materially from Americans about the "doings" of their "big men." Bishop Potter's Subway Tavern has given way to a real saloon. In other words the attempt was a failure. The bishop, however, says that one attempt and one failure is not sufficient proof for or against a proposition like his "Tavern Idea," and he still believes it to be a good one. --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Let men who seek the tenderloin haunts and get robbed take their medicine. The inmates of the Paris house or any other resort never seek the man at his home or hotel, and when the man seeks them in their dens of vice he starts out on a mission of crime, and in losing his money is getting just what he deserves. The idea advanced by the School Teachers' Convention in Olympia a few days ago to have county superintendents made state officers, as are the various county judges, is a most excellent one, and for their terms of office to be four years is also a splendid idea and should be helped along. The school, like the judiciary, should be completely divorced from politics. It comes as rather the unexpected when Prof. Kane in delivering his annual address before the students of the Washington State University approved of hazing. He said, of course, it must be properly done. It would be kind of the president to also tell where the limit in hazing is and who among a body of students up hazing bent would be expected to observe it. It seems every station in life has its own peculiar binding bands. The price comes high but when President J. J. Hill of the Great Northern offered his private car for the use of six of the Japanese peace party who were leaving Chicago for the Northwest en route to Japan that country was reaping one of the results of the mighty sacrifice of human lives in the recognition due from one civilized race to another regardless of the color of the parties involved. Justice may not be blind, but Judge Gilliam of the Seattle Superior Court was convinced last Saturday that it was as "full" as a tick and he therefore committed justice to the county jail for ten days in which to sober up. All of this means that one, George Henry, a Skykomish man, who was serving on the regular jury panel, appeared in court last Saturday quite under the influence of strong drink and he was promptly committed to jail by Judge Gilliam for being a damphool. So promote it be. Mr. Rockefeller need not get shy about his bald head and cover it with a wig. A physician, said to be eminent, has discovered that there are advantages even in baldness. Bald-headed men, he asserts, never suffer from consumption, and a tendency to scantiness of hair may be taken as a sign of immunity from the disease. In a case of 5,000 tuberculosis patients he failed to find a single case of baldness. So, after all, who knows but what Rockefeller ought to feel proud of his bald pate and thank a kind Providence for a long notification that he is an immune from at least one very muchly dreaded disease to which the human family is heir. --- FRIDAY, SEPT. 22, 1905. AFRO-AMERICANISM The editor of The (Cleveland) Gazette celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of that paper last Saturday and rejoiced in the fact that the man doing the celebrating at this time was the self same man that started the paper and has been with it every since. Editor H. C. Smith has served three terms in the state legislature of Ohio and has just been nominated for the fourth time. These things evidently pleased the editor so much that he put his own "pictur" in his own paper and prefixed the name with "Hon." The editor regardless of his nationality that runs his own picture in his own paper is certainly hard up for a subject to illustrate. --- Owing to some trouble in the high schools of Kansas City, Kansas, last year the school board of that city has established separate high schools for the two races and the regular year having begun last week quite a bit of annoyance was caused to the school authorities owing to the persistency of the Negro children to attend the same school they had been attending all the time. Years ago the Negroes themselves kicked like bay steers to get separate schools that colored teachers might be employed. The whites did everything they could to prevent it and warned them that they would live to regret their actions. Many of the Negroes who took the lead in this matter are now regretting what they did in this forcing separate schools. Philadelphia now has a colored population of about 80,000. Of that number are 941 business and professional people who are their own bosses and doing an aggregate annual business of nearly $6,000,000. At the recent session of the National Negro Business Men's League, at the head of which is the well known educator, Prof. Booker T. Washington, the annual address of the president reviewed the Negro race in this country in the following brief strain: There are today 1,200,000 black children in the public schools, 30,000 in the higher institutions of learning, and 200 in Northern and European colleges and universities. Over 2,000 have been graduated from colleges, and the professions show 30,000 school teachers and professors, 2,000 lawyers, 1,500 doctors, dentist, and pharmacists, and over 23,000 ministers of the gospel. Negroes have taken out 500 patents, have published 400 books, composed numerous songs, and own and edit 12 magazines and 300 newspapers. In a material way the Negroes have also made noticeable progress. Besides many industrial establishments, they own and manage 26 banks, own 2 per cent. of the total valuation of the farm property, produce six per cent. of the total farm products of the United States, and own $900,000,000 worth of real and personal property. --- FRIDAY, SEPT. 22, 1905. HUMAN ODDITIES George Gould, who is the son of his father, thinks the whole country is on the verge of a prosperous period, whereupon a pessimistic critic butted in with, "Gould evidently intends to lessen his death like grip on the public purse." A Negro in Baltimore made a wager that he could kiss an Irish maid in the hotel in which both of them worked. He won his bet, but got a two years' sentence in the penitentiary for proving his prowess, and a cynic snarled, "that Irish girly will get very lonesome during the Negro's incarceration." But absence makes the heart grow fonder. An Anglo-Saxon in Seattle one day this week was questioned by a rather inquisitive caller as to his nationality. "I am a Negro," quickly came as an answer. In explanation to his fair complexion he said, "Stanley says when he was exploring Africa that a tribe of Negroes told him that God had made all men black, but when Abel was killed it frightened his children so badly that they turned white. I am of that tribe." An exchange says, "An Ohio man fell dead while courting his divorced wife and the verdict of the coroner's jury was, "death resulted from the interference of kind providence." It occurs to us that the following couplet is quite appropos: "Lovely woman, thou art given to rage Lovely woman thou art prone to change Alas, what man can trust your charms Or seek his safety in your arms." That scientist who has figured out that every man had 128,000 hairs on his head, evidently did not take Coal Oil John as his model, for to charge the old man of "tainted money" fame with having that number of hairs on his head would be "the most unkindest cut of all." It is claimed that the state of Iowa has lost 30,000 of her population since 1900. That is to say, she has that many less today than she had then and that too despite the fact the average Iowaian is bitterly opposed to race suicide. The frequent high prairie winds have doubtless blown a goodly number of them over the river. "The wind bloweth where it listeth." A Colored Baptist convention in Texas not long since endorsed the burning of a Negro man at the stake, which fiendish act was committed by the Christian brethren while the convention was in session. If this is not licking the hand that smites you the hardest it is near it, but what more could be expected from a people that were conceived in dissention, born in dissention and lived in it all of their natural lives. Can you expect blood out of a turnip? Because her son refused to kiss her, a Richmond, Kentucky, woman committed suicide. A woman with no more gumption rids the world of some rather bad rubbish. Oh, how happy are we. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Baron Komura has not committed suicide, recent reports to the contrary notwithstanding, however, if the Baron does not in some way get hold of a wad of money before returning to Japan to turn over to the "indemnity party" there, suicide would be mild to what he will get. Its money that makes the mare run. One, Professor Uhlenhuth, claims to have discovered the "missing link." Judging from the name the professor has evidently been changing mirrors and got hold of a superior quality to what he has been previously using, and now sees himself as others see him. An Iowa sixteen year old wife is suing her husband for a divorce and charges in her complaint an over amount of love showered on her by her husband, which he does not deny. He, since their marriage one year ago, has done nothing but hold her in his lap and kiss her and the girl declares that it will run her crazy. Well, the fellow is already crazy and the girl must have been a "little off" when she consented to marry a man old enough to be her father and then some. The divorce should be denied. He that sins must suffer. Young man, don't ask a girl to marry you after dark when she is dressed fit to kill. We will give a receipt which will serve you as good purpose. It's this: "Call on her, and when you leave, inadvertently drop and leave a glove on the piano. Return for it the next morning at 9 o'clock. If she comes to the door with one shoe and one slipper on, her hair done up on curl papers, and is dressed in an old mother hubbard, our advice to you is to take to the woods. But if she comes with a neat house dress on, her hair done up, and a rose in the top of her hair, grab her quick."—Ex. THINGS GIRLS SHOULD KNOW. Someone has suggested a few things that every girl can learn before she is 12. Not everyone can learn to play or sing or paint well enough to give pleasure to her friends, but the following "accomplishments" are within everybody's reach: Shut the door, and shut it softly. Never let a button stay off twenty-four hours. Always know where your things are. Always know where your things are. Never let a day pass without doing something to make somebody comfortable. Learn to make bread as well as cake. Never go about with your shoes unbuttoned. In Norway on paydays saloons are closed and savings banks open until midnight. Servant girls hire for half a year at a time by contract at public registry offices. There is a telegraph box on every street car. One writes the message, puts on the right number of stamps, and drops it in the box. Farmers can borrow money from the government at 3 per cent. There are practically no illiterates. The average wage earnings are $88 a year. There are more reindeer than horses, more sheep than cows.—New York Globe. "Bud" Rogan, the Tennessee Negro giant, is dead at his home in Gallatin.

Deputy Clerk. a : hae 1 ee acca aaa aaa aaa ata a a PERSONALS. Mrs. Clara Laws, who has been spending a few days in the city, re- turned to her home in Portland, Ore- got, last Monday, the 18th. Mrs. Laws had spent some time at Green River Hot Springs prior to coming to this city, and returns therefrom much improved in health, Mrs. John Gulliford of Arlington, Washington, spent a few days in the city last week, during which time she attended “The Merry Makers,” the play on the boards at the Seattle the- ater at that time. Mrs, Gulliford, be- fore she dropped Miss for Mrs., was Miss Dora Thwaits of this city, but formerly of Kansas City. Kans. Mr. Gulliford is a native of Indiana, but they are now making their home in Arlington, Washington. Mrs. Hawkins and her sister, Miss Cora Oliver, write from Portland that they are enjoying the Fair hugely and expect to return home Monday, the 25th. The ladies of the Booker T. Wash- ington Club, which is composed of the members of the Hastern Star, will give an entertainment at Ben Hur hall on the evening of the 25th. Mr, A. R, Black is still improving, but is yet confined to his bed. Dr, C. F. Maxwell of the Neah Bay Indian Agency, Washington, who has been spending a few days of his va- cation in Seattle, left for his post of duty last Thursday evening. He has visited various places in the East, including his native city at Louisville, Ky. He has spent two years on the Indian reservation at Neah Bay and says although the place is rather isolated he has no intention of departing therefrom for some years yet to come. Miss Emma V. Houston, after spend- ing several years in St. Mary’s Aca- demy in Portland, Oregon, and gradu- ating therefrom, has begun a course of studies in the Acme Business Col- lege. There is a good old play at the Third Avenue theater this week. It is called “The Convict’s Daughter.” It tells the story of a man who pos- sesses many excellent attributes but who was, to use an every-day expres- sion, down in his luck and who, through enemies, misfortune and non- avoidance, gets into trouble and into convict’s stripes; though innocent of any crime he is condemned for an- other's sin, escapes from prison only to become the tool of an evil one who attempts to make him claim a wealthy heiress as his child, which he does, only to discover later that the girl who is the adopted daughter of a wealthy family, is, in reality, his own child. This affords some splendid op- portunities for heart-interest and is intersperced with a great deal of ex- cellent humor, The Third Avenue the- ater patrons greatly enjoy the play. Next week, starting Sunday after- noon, the Third Avenue theater will have a new play, and one that comes well recommended, One of the most promising of the new plays this season is “Honest Hearts,” which the vivacious comedi- enne, Alma Hearn, has chosen for her starring tour. It appears to be true to its title, a play of honest worth, being a genuine American pastoral comedy with a pretty romance inter- woven with quaint characters and rich humor of the South. Miss Hearn is supported by a fine company and the realistic farm and river scenes are elaborate and picturesque. THE GIRL FROM KAY’S THURS: DAY NIGHT. The Miller-Kirkpatrick Company will present “The Girl From Kay’s,” the big farcical comedy with music, at the Grand Thursday for an engage- ment of three nights. The piece has had exceedingly long runs in London and New York, and is described as one of the brightest and best of the transplanted English products seen of late in this country. Owen Hall, who is a prolific writer of librettos, is the author of the book of “The Girl From Kay’s.” The story harps on the jealousy of a young bride who catches her hus- band in the arms of a young girl who has come to deliver the hat she is to wear on her honeymoon trip to the seaside. Mr. Hall’s lines are described as being very bright, with a good deal of dialogue that is piquant and saucy. All of the scenes hang legitimately on the story. The musical numbers are all melodiously tuneful. “Cus- tomers from Kay’s,” “Sufficiency,” “Matilda and the Builder” and “Tips” are among the musical hits. Hoggenheimer, the principal char- acter in the action, is typical of the man well known in all large cities and beneath the veneer of caricature he is easily and readily recognized. The chief girl in the story is a decided flirt, but discreet and at all times honest to herself. Her song hit isa description of the customers at Kay’s millinery shop. There are three acts, and the gowns worn in them are said to be very handsome. They were designed by Mrs. Osborn and are described as creations of much beauty. Miss Eleanor Robson, who has made one of the few remarkable internation- al stage successes of recent years in Israel Zangwill’s “Merely Mary Ann,” the play in which she is to be seen at the Grand next Monday, has had an experience with Hnglish theater au- diences during her three months’ en- gaegment at the Duke of York's the- ater, London, which qualifies her to speak on the subject with authority. “London audiences are delighted to play to,” she says. “I have never played anywhere to audiences that were more appreciative or at least more willing to show their apprecia- tion—quicker to see the point. You know I am an English girl myself, and while I am an American actress and proud of that fact, still it has al- ways been a sore point with me that the American paragraphers have made such fun of the Englishman’s slow- ness to see a joke or to appreciate a witty saying. I am positive now that this is a base libel for I know that no audience could appreciate the wit and humor of lines in a play more than the audiences I have played to at the Duke of York’s theater, or have seen In other playhouses in London.” Miss Robson was one of the fortu- nate actresses who was not “boo-ed” on her first night in London. Indeed, it was a remarkable fact, commented upon at the time by many of the newspapers that not a single “boo” was heard from the gallery or pit on that occasion. “But I have heard the gallery ‘boo’ at other theaters,” said the actress, when I spoke to her about this, “and really do you know, I think I would be willing to have a London audience ‘boo’ me once in a while just for the sake of getting their enthusiastic ap- proval when they did approve. You know that is the way with them. They want to tell you just exactly what they think and feel of you and your play. If they do not like it they will sa so in a very disagreeable way, but if the like it they say they do in just as an agreeable way, and you know I think the one balances the other.” Go to a respectable place to borrow money on diamonds, jewelry and watches.
