Miss Marie Cauru is making a hard fight over the Sullivan estate, but a million looks good any old day. It is good to learn that not only is the backbone of the yellow fever broken, but the quarantine has been lifted. Can an army officer live within his income? is a question exercising the minds of quite a few at this time. If he can live within his income he accomplishes that which gets the best of two-thirds of those not connected with the army in any way. Reports are coming in from the Southland how when they cheered President Roosevelt he acknowledged it with smile and bow, his hat raised, meanwhile. We understand. We've witnessed that same bow, shared that same smile and silently asked blessings upon that same bared head. Long live our president! The estate left by Joseph Jefferson, the actor, has been appraised at $130,929 in real and personal property in New York. He owned 103 Riverside Drive, worth $40,000, and had equities in several other pieces of real estate. He owned paintings worth $20, 810 and had $710 in cash. His property without the jurisdiction of this state is estimated at $192,250. The total Jewish population of the world is calculated in this way: Europe 8,786,122 Asia 342,410 Africa 382,432 America 1,574,022 Australia 17,403 Grand total 11,102,389 Charles Dana Gibson will sail in November for Europe, to be gone probably two or three years. His purpose is to reach the limit of his possibilities in color. The young miss ,sentimentally inclined, will be at a loss for Gibson girls drawn in black and white to pin upon the walls of her bed room, for Mr. Gibson says he has accomplished the aim he had in view in that line of work and will draw no more of them. It will soon be Christmas time again and the average young woman will smile sweetly SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1905 if "he" sends around a "lovely" present and mother and father each present some little token of parental remembrance. She will be happy, too, that is, if she doesn't remember that Alive Roosevelt has had presents bestowed upon her during her trip through the Orient, the duty upon which is about $60,000. Supt. Kempster says that the conjected condition of affairs on the Seattle street cars is due to the growth of this city and common to all cities where the people all wish to travel at once, and that the company will not increase the service in the near future. Sad, but that's his answer, and each and every weary, water-soaked, strap-hanger may prepare to still "move a little farther to the front, please." Some of the owners of gasoline launches have been having trouble in the way of fines for carrying more passengers than allowed by certificate of inspection. The temptation, in any conveyance, to crowd in a few more is as great as it is dangerous. The old rule saying that there must be martyrs before some questions are settled is as true as the fulfillment is disastrous, and a safe way is to look closely to it that every launch comes up to the governing regulations. It is reported that the milk in Seattle is purer now than it has been for a long time. The city officials have just returned from a trip of inspection of Cedar river, where they saw that the land from the lake to the dam was cleared out, all timber likely to fall cut, and underbrush cleared away. It begins to look as if we are going to be able to take a good, hearty drink of milk or water this winter without shutting our eyes and holding tight to the back of a chair while doing so. The Western Union has been having a little trouble common to all stations and concerns. Some one has been stealing its money. Dead men have been carried upon the telegraph pay rolls, but the culprit has not yet been discovered. It is getting so, in this country, that the employer will have to reckon his gains and losses as do the employees. When a man gets a job he counts so much on actual salary and so much on tips or stealings. So, on the other hand, the employer will have to count so much actual money paid out and so much stolen. There have been many Bluebeards since the first imaginary one in story books, but the latest one on record-one Dr. George A. Witzhoff, the man with thirty-two wives beats anything yet heard of. An educated man in a civilized country destitute of all finer feelings, wholly disregarding marriage laws and living on stolen earnings, is extremely nauseating. However, the recital of his adventures also shows the weakness of women in confiding in strange men and in- PRICE FIVE CENTS trusting their money out of their own keeping. Seattle has a boy on whose head no hair grows. It seems the child had a spell of sickness some years ago and since that time his head has been bald. The mother kept him out of school, the truant officer learned of it and thereby hangs a tale. The result of it all is Judge Frater decided that the boy must attend a school, hair or no hair. His mother therefore entered him at an academy. Of course, the boy must be educated, but under the truant law there is nothing said about children upon whose heads hair does not grow. However, one's sympathies go out to the boy, for if there are sufferings more acute in a child's life than those which are inflicted from taunts given by their schoolmates, no record has yet been made of them. It does not take much imagination to see what a boy whose shiney pate had no hair on it would have to undergo from thoughtless school children. Some of the churches are trying to introduce the "spirit" of ladies removing their hats during services. There are two sides to the question. If they keep them on the men behind them can not see the speaker and will be apt to go to sleep, and the women will fail to be benefited from the sermon because they'll spend so much time inspecting millinery effects; on the other hand, if they remove them, the men behind the "lovely tresses" thus displayed are in danger of having their souls slightly damaged, while the women will vie with each other in seeing which can wear the most elaborate coiffure. It don't matter much about the men, however, for even in Puratanic days, when the maidens came to church in little tight cloth bonnets which disclosed no lovely locks nor obstructed any one's sight, the brethren behind them spent much time wondering what sort of hair those bonnets concealed. Warren Dalton, of Seattle, has built his own auto. It is a runabout and cost him $85. Young Dalton is 15 years of age and quite a mechanic. He turned out all of the parts for his auto, with the exception of the wheels, and competent judges pronounce his machine first-class of its kind. Dalton earns his living as a polisher in a steam laundry and worked nights and Sundays on his auto for five weeks ere he had it completed. A few of the larger boys might take this "kid" for an example and at least be willing to put up the winter stove or stretch the front room carpet when they get home from work evenings. And as for Sundays, they may have no auto to work upon, but if they do not wish to attend Sunday school themselves, or if they do, for that matter, they might lend a hand towards breakfast or dinner, so that others of the family who wish to attend might do so. We can't all make an auto, but we can work a little overtime as young Dalton did when making his. ie AT A MINING CAMP. Pay day in a mining camp is always a holiday beginning. The company begins to pay on Saturday afternoon and continues until late Saturday evening, and finishes up Monday. ‘‘The fun,’’ which has been lying dormant for a month, wakes up as soon as the first man gets his check and has it cashed, which, for the most part, is done by some saloonkeeper, who keeps on oversupply of fun for those occasions. In every drink- shop a band of musicians opens the fun, but before the pay day holiday season is far ad- yaneed those who have risked their lives in the bowels of the earth, make their own musie, and their discordant melodies can be heard until their earnings have all been gathered in by the ‘‘firewater’’ man. To watch the miners get relieved of their hard- earned money is a study which would be in- teresting even to the gods. But by Tuesday the miners are all ready for another month’s hard work, and they go to it. The whistles, bells and bumpers (coal coming up and being dumped) make a min- ing camp like Roslyn of the Northwest Im- proving Company one of the most interest- ing places for the student of nature almost in the wide world. It is said by experts that the largest and finest coal beds in the state are owned by the company operating Ros- lyn, Cle-Elum and Rayensdale mines. Hun- dreds and thousands of men are employed by the company, who for the most part are Eu- ropeans and American Negroes. For a Ne- gro to walk around the town and observe the peculiar looking, acting and talking spe- cimens of the genus homo calling themselves American citizens, he feels about as did the Negro in Alaska who had just returned from an Indian village, and, relating his experi- ence to some white companions, made haste to inform them, ‘‘I wus de only white man en dat entiah village.’’ In those mining camps where Negroes are employed they seem to be the only white (Americans) folk there. The natural scenery about the camp of Roslyn, which is well in the fastings of the Cascade mountains, is both grand and sublime, in which both the painter and the poet find food for thought, and then when you consider that underlying the whole are storehouses of gold and coal but awaiting the diggers’ pick and shovel to make mill- ionaires out of paupers, one feels sufficiently inspired to say with the disciple, ‘‘It’s good to be here,’”’ or, ‘‘What a lucky one am I to be so well surrounded.’’ In your enthusi- asm, dear one, do not overstay your time and allow the snow man to catch you feast- ing on nature’s freaks, for the snow man will freeze the painter or the poet just as quickly as he will the tramp. Those scenic landscapes, gorges and canyons are but to pass over and drink in while in transit, and those treasures of gold and coal are for the “‘one,’? and not for the ‘ninety and nine.’”’ But, seriously, the Northwest has but few more soul-inspiring localities than the one immediately surrounding the coal and gold camp of Roslyn. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Roslyn had its first fatal shooting esca- pade last Saturday for the past five years. To those, who saw the whole affair, it looked like a clear case of ‘‘cold-blooded murder,”’ but the murderer is an Italian, while the de- ceased was an Englishman, and those pres- ent for the most part being Italians, their memories are already quite defective as to the real cause of the trouble. In Roslyn, as in most coal mining camps, too many guns are carried by the miners, and if one or two of those who are ‘‘handy with a gun’’ would stretch hemp, gun selling among the miners would not be quite so profitable for the deal- ers. The hundreds of thousands tons of coal mined in Roslyn are being sent almost the world over, and through them the State of Washington is getting a vast amount of ad- vertising that not only attracts capital thith- er, but likewise attracts multiplied thou- sands of settlers, many of whom after work- ing in the camp for a short time get them- selves excellent farms and become useful citizens, and this is said advisedly, for the foreigners never seem to become a genuine American until he owns a farm and becomes a fixture thereon. In the camp of Roslyn are to be found a great many foreigners, the Slavonians and Italians taking the lead as to numbers. While but few of them ever become farmers, yet some of them do, and they are always a hundred times the better therefor. He prospers beyond his own ex- pectation selling his produce to his fellow countrymen as well as to the real Americans. Speaking about leaving the mines and go- ing to a farm and selling the produce raised. thereon to one’s own nationality might work all right among the foreigners, but it does not work among the Negroes. ‘‘My experi- ence is quite different,’’ said a Negro wom- an, who had left the mines and went on a farm not far distant from the camp. ‘On my ranch I have everything to'sell that can be raised in or on the ground in this section, and I bring it to town for sale. I naturally expect my colored friends and acquaintances would be my best customers. In this, how- ever, I was sadly mistaken, for, notwith- standing the fact, I go to the camp twice a week, yet I have but one lone colored cus- tomer. I can not say I am dead anxious for any more, for what I have had since I have been in the business I found awful poor pay. It cost me just as much to collect for what I sold to them as it did to make, and so I cut them out until I have but one. That, I know, does not speak well for my own color, but it’s the living truth.’’ Even mining camps are not wholly free from freaks on the race question, and that, too, despite the fact that in a camp where black and white men work together legal miscegenation is not uncommon, while co- habitation is rather common. An amusing incident came to the writer’s ears not long since which ran like this: ‘‘A white. woman is married to a black man. She had been married twice before, once to a white man and once to a black man. By each one she FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1905. had a girl. The pure white girl goes with the colored folk almost exclusively and vows she will never marry any but a colored man, while the girl with colored blood in her veins seeks white associates almost exclu- sively and vows she will never marry a black man.’’ What strange streaks human nature is often striped with, and if there is any truth in the above story these are the strangest streaks one has crossed in a “eoon’s age.’’? The mother, it is also said, backs her white daughter in her desire to marry black and does not approve of the leanings of her colored daughter. POPULARITY. It is not infrequent that we observe an ambitious boy or girl start out in life with a consuming desire to be popular. They do everything for show. Praise and flattery is the only sweet music to their ears. Without show, praise and flattery they will do noth- ing but sulk and mope and pout. It is idle often for older persons to tell such an one that he or she is starting out upon a path- way that never brings happiness to self, or gives happiness to others, Selfishness is their predominating evil genius and they will not listen to or heed any warning. In vain you may tell them that he who seeks popularity never finds it. Such is the real truth, how- ever. Popularity is one thing that is given, not commanded. It is given, too, when it is blessed to give. It is given to the faithful doer of all things, high and low, great and small, that hourly cometh to the hand to do, and the doing of them well without spread-eagle ostentation. He or she who seeks to fatten on praise is certain to die lean. Such an hungered is never fed to fullness. The nervous flit-a-bout, always nosing in, busy-body and know-it-all, and ever-in-evidence, soon becomes a nuis- ance and the butt of jokes and sarcastic jests. j The polite, quiet, good listener, genial, charitable and courteous boy or girl, man or woman, on the other hand, is welcomed everywhere. Such an one gathers the plums shaken from the tree by him who climbs often at the expense of his trousers. Thursday, November 28th, will be Thanks- giving Day in this year of grace. Money for Parks: The park board is right in two things: Asking for $500,000 for extensions and, asking that the election shall be separate and free from partisan poli- ties. Parks are for the people. They are the poor man’s as much as the rich man’s place of recreation. Let’s have parks. We can’t have too many or too nice parks. Mayor Ballinger did right in ignoring the demands of any ward in the naming of a park commissioner. The parks belong to the whole people of the whole city. In heaven’s name for the good of the city let’s let up on petty sectional demands. Unknown Greatness lurked long in hidden quarters of the Fifth Ward before Council- man Mullen was elected.

It is estimated that there are five young men to every young woman in Muskogee, and during an evening a young lady is not surprised to receive calls from four different young men. Quite different from the state of affairs in Seattle. Here the young ladies often bunch together fro protection and go forth without male escort. Ladies dance with each other or with married gentlemen because the young men are so sadly in the minority. * * * One William Wilson, a stonecutter of Bellingham, who recently died a pauper, proved himself so much the exceptional as to produce a lowered estimate of his reasoning faculties. In the deceased man's trunk were letters indicating that he was an heir to a large estate, which his high sense of unworthiness caused him to refuse. That kind of a sense of unworthiness is a thing which does not come in this world. And many have to wonder what manner of man this Wilson was, any way. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Constantine, Mich., has a citizen, one W. S. Ferguson, who is one-armed, left-handed champion of the world—champion one-armed shoemaker, gardner, bicycle rider, hunter, fisherman, painter and runner, and up for the one-armed championship of half a dozen other things. The man does not only do these things, but does them well. So well that there is no telling what he would not do if he had two hands, instead of one. Here's a chance for those with two good strong hands who can never find anything to do to turn green with envy. * * * * * * The mammoth new Cunard liners now nearing completion will each have two new passenger elevators. This is the first line to adopt the elevator as a part of the ship's equipment, and the example will doubtless be immediately followed. This departure will come as a great boon to suffering humanity, for as the up-to-date liners are being built it becomes a matter of no small E. L. Grondahl, President John Erikson, Vice President moment to wend one's way to the dining saloon three times daily, to say nothing of traveling vertically to visit among one's friends. * * * Dr. G. Haberlandt, professor of botany in the University of Gratz, now tells the world that plants not only have eyes, but can see. It was learned in school that they have a circulation and an epidermis. The "light position" which the hot-house flowers especially assume is known and admitted, but eyes with the ability to see brings forth such a volley of suggestive questions as to what flowers may or may not also have in the way of consciousness, that one staggers under the new knowledge. To look at the monkey and imagine that we are beholding an ancestor is too old a sensation to startle or unnerve, but to look at a field of bright dandilions, let us say, and imagining that our great ancestors are before us well, it's too new yet, this dust sticks to it.

The boy or girl who becomes a good plain, neat penman, who learns spelling and the meaning of words, who masters the rules of punctuation and simple bookkeeping has no trouble of ever getting a good position and holding it.

A city councilman, or other official, is surrounded by sycophants and flatterers until he believes he is "it," while the people all the time say "nit."

OCTOBER 27. 1905 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1905 THE PASSING THRONG A Story: "I was down in California the other day," said Attorney Wilson R. Gay, "when on the train going into Frisco the occupants of the Pullman smoking room were discussing a phase of the psychology of criminals manifested in the well authenticated fact that a criminal usually commits but one kind of crime, that is the burglar never commits forgery and the forger never commits burglary, and so with every other class of criminals. Each has his specialty, "profesh," or "trade" in the line of crime. Several instances were mentioned to prove this peculiarity of the criminal class when a Californian set all doubts at rest by telling of a case in point which occurred and is court record in his county. He said that several years ago a man stole a horse and rode him a few miles away into a valley, where he was captured and after trial sentenced to a term in the San Quentin prison. After serving his term and getting a liberal allowance for good behavior he was discharged. He came back home, again stole the same horse, rode him in the same manner to the same place and was again arrested, convicted and again sent to the penitentiary. Again, for good behavior, his time was shortened and he was discharged and returned home. But in a few days, that same horse was stolen by him and taken the same route to the same place with the same result of capture and imprisonment for a longer term. In a little while the three-times thief of the same horse had a petition for pardon urged for him to the governor by his lawyer on the ground that the horse had died, and he was satisfied that the man would lead an honest life if pardoned, that the horse had in some occult manner hypnotized the man." Query: Have we six superior judges, or six judges of the superior court? Out and In: A firm of lawyers in behalf of some defeated clients have challenged Judge Hanford's right to hold office, claiming he has been "legislated out of office." Meantime he maintains "order in court" and regularly draws his salary in office. The boy or girl who learns how to do some useful thing well and then does it well, you need not worry about even if your life insurance company fails. Compromise, compromise, there is no compromise: Those in high places, President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and others who are so strongly urging railroad rate legislation and inter-state commerce commission control power to fix tariff transportation rates as a compromise of socialism in some form or other will do well to remember that there is no compromise. If socialism is right it will come. If it is not, it won't. By socialism in this connection is meant the government ownership of railroads and all other public utilities. Now, no one denies the right of government to control such. The trouble is now that government don't con- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN trol, don't exercise its right. By government exercising its admitted right there can be no compromise. It's government's duty to exercise this right. Do it quickly. Do it now. A marriage quite out of the ordinary has taken place at Norfolk, Va. Joseph McDaniels, 74 years old, and Mrs. Susan Dawson, 73 years old. Both, for 25 years, have been inmates of the county home near Salisbury, N. C. The consent of the county commissioners was secured, and, Cupid having done his work, the knot was tied. The commissioners made an appropriation for the purchase of the wedding outfit for the aged couple, and a reception followed the wedding. Many presents were received, as quite a few of the townspeople attended the nuptials. The bridal tour consisted of a street car ride of seven miles. Neither bride nor groom had seen or been on an electric car before. We are told that all comes to those who wait, and perhaps it does if they don't die to soon. The Life Insurance Companies are being exposed and the scandal is appalling. Lawson says one-tenth of the wrongdoing has not as yet been discovered. It is also freely charged that the great trust companies are equally corrupt, and that they are next to be examined. If this be true look out for a financial crisis beyond compare or computation. Soon the lawyers will "get busy." The Lewis and Clark Exposition. was a great success in every way. We are glad. However, good as the Fair was, well worth seeing, as all admit, yet it was, after all, the Great Northwest which brought the crowds. This part of the world the rest of the world wanted to see, to get better acquainted with it. The Alaska exhibit here will also be most attractive and hasten all development. The Great Northwest will bear inspection. Secretary Taft has publicly announced that he will not become a candidate for the high office of president. Now if Secretary Root should make a similar announcement then there would be a chance for the rest of us. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP A SUCCESS. More than 142 cities in the United Kingdom own their own tramway lines, and have made a large profit on less than 3 cents per passenger. For the year 1904, the municipal tramways of Nottingham made a net profit to the city of $255,000; Manchester municipal tramways, $600,000 in 1903; Glasgow, $1,761,285; Huddlesfield, $105,110; Leeds, $585,792; Liverpool, $868,070; and all of the other cities in the United Kingdom made profits in the same ratio. Street Car lines. The street car fares in Seattle are the same that were paid during the days of the old horse car and mule drivers. While Seattle has progressed, she has not stopped to count the cost of street car fares. "In Milan, cars run night and morning at a one-cent rate, regardless of distance. The general rule is two cents from the center all the way out without regard to distance." "Vienna has the zone system with a twocent fare for each zone, four cents the maximum for the ride, regardless of distance, with free transfers to any part of the city; 1 3-5 cent workingmen's fares, regardless of distance on special cars." In Berlin the average fare is 3 cents. In Glasgow, "a part of long runs were established at a two-cent fare; for workingmen, night and morning, cars were run at half rates, so that working people may live in the country and come to their work every day in the city at small expense." London, Liverpool, Dublin, Belfast and Edinburg have a one and two-cent fare. The average of all fares collected in the five cities is below three cents. Toronto has a three-cent fare, tickets good from 5:30 to 8:00 a.m. and from 5 to 6:30 p.m. The same may be said of Ottawa and Montreal. The mayor of Cleveland, Ohio, states that he has had applications for franchises upon streets unoccupied by car lines, where deposits have been made and guarantees given, for the maximum of 3 cents. Detroit has a 3-cent fare. In Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, the municipalities receive from the corporations 10 per cent. to $2,500,000; 12 per cent. to $3,000,000; and 15 per cent. on all sums, on gross receipts over $3,000,000; while in the city of Seattle the city receives the pitiful sum of 2 per cent. The income in Toronto, Canada, from the percentage given on fares, during the year 1904, was $372,-348, almost half enough to pay the city taxes of this city that had to be raised by direct taxation. This is exclusive of the amount the company paid in taxes to the city of Toronto. Workingmen's Fare. As seen from the above statements, the idea of municipal ownership is to make cheap fares for workingmen. The 1-cent fare for workingmen, under municipal ownership, night and morning, would save to each laboring man, clerk and mechanic $24 per year; and the 2-cent fare for his family would save him another $24 per year, which would make in rund numbers $50 each year for each family; in 10 years, $500; 20 years, $1,000; 30 years, $1,500; and interest; making in round numbers a saving for each workingman, by cheap workingmen's fares, by municipal ownership, $3,000. CURRENT EVENTS. HAYTI'S NEW MINISTER. Announcement has been made that Henry W. Furniss of Indiana, now Consul at Bahia, Brazil, will be appointed Minister to Hayti to succeed William F. Powell of New Jersey, who will resign. Both Minister Powell and Consul Furniss are negroes and have excellent records in the Government service. Mr. Powell was appointed Minister to Hayti in 1897. Mr. Furniss became Consul at Bahia in 1898. His present salary is $3,000. As Minister to Hayti he will receive $7,500 annually. Mr. Powell was generally acknowledged to be second to none in efficiency among the members of his race who have represented and now represent the American Government abroad. He had the thorough confidence of the late Secretary Hay, who frequently spoke of the splendid service Mr. Powell rendered under trying conditions. His activity in caring for American interests in Hayti made him exceedingly unpopular with the authorities of that country, and he was especially attacked by J. N. Leger, the Haytian Minister in Washington. Among other things Mr. Powell was charged with inciting Syrians in Hayti to resist the attempt of that Government to expel them, but the State Department did not take any stock in that allegation and exonerated Mr. Powell after ascertaining that his only offence was in protesting vigorously against the effort to expel Syrians who had become naturalized citizens of the United States. His position in Hayti, however, became untenable on account of the attacks upon him, and it was deemed necessary to appoint somebody else in his place. Mr. Powell sailed on Thursday from New York for Port au Prince. Upon his arrival there he will settle up his affairs and forward his resignation to President Roosevelt. While at his home in Camden, N. J., recently Mr. Powell was quoted as saying that he had twice been shot at in Hayti by assassins and that he supposed the third attempt on his life would be successful. He subsequently denied the accuracy of his interview. The highhanded manner in which American diplomatic representatives in Hayti have been treated has not failed to impress this Government, however, and if more consideration is not shown Mr. Furniss than Mr. Powell was shown the Administration in Washington will undoubtedly have something positive to say on the subject. REFUSAL TO LEGALIZE LYNCHING. A petition from a number of citizens has been presented to Gov. Lanham, of Texas, asking that the State permit mob punishment of negroes guilty of assaulting women. The petition sets forth that it is dangerous for white women to live in sparsely settled sections unless guarded. The Governor is asked to indorse the proposals that negroes guilty of assault receive no sort of protection, that no legal inquiry be held, and that they may be instantly hanged when apprehended. He is advised that every community will hold a mass meeting and adopt resolutions in accordance with the foregoing. Gov. Lanham's response is principally directed to the legal phase. He sets forth that it is an impossibility for him to countenance the policy in view of his oath of office.—Ex. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT VISITS TUSKEGEE. After much surmising and utterance of needless words, the people of Tuskegee and neighboring places have witnessed the President pay a visit to Tuskegee the largest industrial institution of the South and the skies still remain just where they were before the visit was made. President Roosevelt first stopped at Tuskegee and addressed the people there, then went out to Booker T. Washington's school. Following are some extracts taken from the speech that he made before the Tuskegee students: "To the white population as well as to the black it is of the utmost importance that the negro be encouraged to make himself a citizen of the highest type of usefulness. It is to the interest of the white people that this policy be conscientiously pursued, and to the interest of the colored people that they clearly realize that they have opportunities for economic development here in the South not offered elsewhere. "Within the last twenty years the industrial operations of the South have increased so tremendously that there is a scarcity of labor almost everywhere; so that it is the part of wisdom for all who wish the prosperity of the South to help the negro to become in the highest degree useful to himself and therefore to the community in which he lives. "The South has always depended and now depends chiefly upon her native population for her work. Therefore, in view of the scarcity not only of common labor, but of skilled labor, it becomes an important duty to train every available man to be of utmost use by developing his intelligence, his skill and his capacity for conscientious work. "Your fifteen hundred students are not only being educated in head and heart, but also trained to industrial efficiency, for from the beginning Tuskegee has placed especial emphasis upon the training of men and women in agriculture, mechanics and household duties. "Training in these three fundamental directions does not embrace all that the negro or any other race needs, but it does cover in a very large degree the field in which the negro can at present do most for himself and be most helpful to his white neighbors. "The professional and mercantile avenues to success are overcrowded; for the present the best chance of success awaits the intelligent worker at some mechanical trade or on a farm; for this man will almost certainly achieve industrial independence. "It is not only the duty of the white man but it is to his interest to see that the negro is protected in property, in life and in all his legal rights. "Every time a law is broken every individual in the community has the moral tone of his life lowered. Lawlessness in the United States is not confined to any one section; lynching is not confined to any one section and there is perhaps, no body of American citizens who have deserved so well of the entire people as the public men, the publicists, the clergymen, the countless thousands of highminded private citizens who have done much Grah CHILDREN'S CO VERY STYLISH COATS for misses Scotch plaids of gray, black and gre belted, double breasted, black velvet co ished with cuff; lined to waist with re Regular $10.00 values; now Graham's CHILDREN'S SPECIALS VERY STYLISH COATS for misses from 8 to 14 years; made of attractive Scotch plaids of gray, black and green; long box effects with pleated back; belted, double breasted, black velvet collar; tucked sleeves finished with cuff; lined to waist with red flannel; very stunning.

What you have done in the past is an indication of what you will be able to accomplish in the future under wise leadership. "Morals and industrial education is what is most needed in order that this progress may be continued. The race cannot expect to do everything at once. "The hope of advancement for the colored man in the South lies in his steady, common sense effort to improve his moral and material condition and to work in harmony with the white man in upbuilding the commonwealth. "The future of the South now depends upon the people of both races in living up to this principle and letter of the laws of their several states and working out the destinies of both races, not as races, but as law-abiding American citizens." ```markdown ``` --- 714-20 Second Ave. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1905 IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF the State of Washington for the County of King.

Wiley, who some weeks ago was hurt on a Medison street car, is able to be out on the streets again. Mr. S. S. Scott is out of danger. The operation which he underwent, however, was a very dangerous one and his friends are glad that he stood it so well. Little Cora freeman, who was thrown from a Madison street car last Sunday night, is improving very slowly. Her doctor fears that she has sustained some internal injuries. She has been staying at Mrs. Geo. Turner's, but recovered sufficiently to be moved to her home. THEATRICAL. "Knob, o' Tennessee" is the name or title of a play being presented at the Third Avenue Theatre this week. In it the author has not only produced an interesting play, but he has injected a lot of good common horse sense, plenty of laughs, and a restful entertainment. The Moonshiners of the South are about as interesting a group of characters as any section of the United States affords; they have a code of law and ethics of their own and can not book outside interference; they are hospitable to strangers, but cordially hate the revenue officers of the Government, whom they believe to be their enemies. It is little wonder that with characters and surroundings the Third Avenue Theatre this week is filled at every performance. "When Knighthood Was In Flower," which comes to the Grand Sunday, is one of those charming plays which please, not only by reason of a romantic love story, but also by their picturesque and gorgeous costumes and scenery in pointed illustration of the period when all was chivalry, braveness and beauty. In the play as it is being presented this season under the auspices of Kane, Shipman and Colvin, all the manly attributes of the time find expression in Warren Conlan as Charles Brandon, lover of Mary Tudor, Princess of England. But it is in that Mary Tudor that the most interest lies, a girl with a story all her own, made natural, winsome and lovable by the wonderful acting of Roselle Knott, one of the cleverest actresses of the American stage. Starting next Sunday, with a matinee, the Third Avenue Theatre will have the fifth new play seen there this THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN season. The title "When the Bell Tolls" is derived from the tolling of the bell on the famous monastery of St. Bernard, in the Swiss Mountains, to give warning of a snow avalanche and sending forth the famous St. Bernard dogs in quest of lost travelers. Beginning at the foot of the mountain, in a swell hotel, the characters are gradually worked up within the portals of this world-famous cloisture, where the weary traveler is always granted hospitality and where he finds solace and rest. Incidentally the play introduces a number of thoroughly interesting characters, and the plot is fully as strenuous as that of "The Silver King," which it resembles more than any other play. Thirty-two years is indeed a long time for an amusement enterprise to exist for the business of catering to the public taste is an exacting one, and it is small wonder that of the many amusement organizations launched each year, such a small per centage succeed. Occasionally you will hear a manager boasting of the fifth season for his offering, rarely of the sixth and seldom of the tenth; but when a company can speak of its thirty-third year of uninterrupted success, it is nothing short of wonderful, yet such is the proud record of Richards & Pringle's Famous Georgia Minstrels which come to the Grand next Thursday. Such well known colored stars as Clarence Powell, James Crosby, Lester McDaniels, Happy Beauguard, Robert Williams, Charles Burton, Kirke & Cooper, Marsh Craig, The Toney Trio, Charles Scott and thirty others make up the roster of the company. The Famous Georgia Band under the leadership of Prof. Fred Simpson will give one of their pleasing concerts at noon each day of their engagement and another in the evening at 7:30 o'clock in front of the theatre. When the coming of "The Tiger Lilies" is announced, the patrons of burlesque immediately prepare themselves for enjoying one of the rare treats of the season. This excellent organization, under the direction of the Campbell-Drew Amusement Company, will open a week's engagement at the Seattle on Sunday, and will present a performance that will even eclipse the past brilliant offerings by this company. In selecting the members of the present season's company, the management have offered some tempting inducements, otherwise they could not have secured such artists as Alex Carr, the cleverest of all Hebrew comedians; La Veen and Cross, whose athletic exhibition has amazed theatre-goers of both hemispheres; Richy W. Craig, the amusing master of melody; Will J. Cooke, the operatic vocalist; Jeannette Sherwood, the charming comedienne; Ezier and Webb, two of the handsomest and most talented young women in vaudeville, and Cunningham and Lord, the dancing marvels. These clever artists, surrounded by two dozen of the prettiest girls ever seen on one stage, will present two unique musical reviews—a farce entitled "A Temporary Husband," and an extravaganza called "The King of the Coffee Fiends." These skits will be found to be handsomely staged and costumed, and replete with the most tuneful musical numbers. "The Tigerscope," exhibiting the most startling animated views, will also prove an interesting feature on the bill.
