It strikes us that Senator Piles has been doing the "bull con" act to all of the boys. That's Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth and her husband is about the social status of the recent White House marrying escapade. The actions of a caucus, in our opinion, not legally binding, but the man who will go into a caucus and then not abide by its acts is not a whit better than a thief. No nobler or greater soul ever breathed the breath of life than the late Miss Susan B. Anthony and humanity the world over should mourn her death. There was even a freeze in the weather after Democratic Billy Moore had been declared mayor-elect of Seattle, so unusual was such a proceeding. Snohomish County, this state, has a female deputy sheriff. In the performing of her official duties she cannot do very much worse than many of the male deputies in many of the other counties of the state. In being permitted to plead guilty to murder in the second degree, Thomas Taylor, the slayer of J. M. Bailey, can consider himself awfully lucky, for if he had his just deserts he would stretch hemp. That cock and bull story of the Times about John L. Wilson trying to defeat Senator Piles is perhaps no greater prevarication than what the Times is accustomed to publishing for the amusement of its readers. If a human being ever lived down calumny and ridicule and rose triumphantly in spite of them to become the nation's ideal citizen that human being was the immortal Susan B. Anthony, for whom the world has just bowed its head. --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1906 An emissary of Uncle Sam, who was taking the census of the Isle of Pines thinks there not over 2,000 inhabitants on the island and not over 200 males of age. Me oh my, what a little thing to make so much fuss about. If reports be true the sick man on Bombay is sick not from the slaughter of Arabians, but from over eating of the flesh of those he killed. Civilization seems to have as hard a nut to crack in the fiendish Turks as it has in the fiendish Southerner of our own country. Farm hands are sadly wanted in Eastern Washington and railroad building hands are as sadly need in Western Washington. It strikes us that it is high time that the annual homeseekers' railroad rates be put on tap that the labor demand in this state be supplied. If Mayor Moore keeps his word and puts the lid on in Seattle, his former friends will doubtless say to themselves, How Billy has changed since he is certain of a "square" every day. George F. Russell ran for an office and got the diphtheria; he also got the office, but in getting them both he got more than he bargained for. John L. Wilson is in town, after an eleven months in Europe, but no one need be told that he is in town, for he had no sooner reached town than the Times, as well as the political quid nunes, began to get their wind bags working overtime, telling how Wilson is planning to get a warranty deed to Washington state in general and King county in particular. If Mr. Wilson can do all the Times says he can, he after all is the greatest man in the State of Washington. Rev. F. L. Whaton's suggestion for a public installation of the recently elected officials made such a favorable impression of the public ear that the suggestion ripened into a public meeting last Monday which decided to have the public installation next Monday at high noon. How public sentiment has changed. Had a similar suggestion been made two years ago the suggestion would have been ridiculed to such an extent that he would have felt ashamed of it. The Republican party having been in part defeated at the polls at the last election, those who were elected see no reason why they cannot stand up and be counted as well as be branded "good" for the next two years. LEFT IMPRESS ON THE WORLD. Woman suffragists the world over, but especially those in America, will mourn the death of Susan B. Anthony. No woman in any land has been more conspicuously identified with the movement to place women po- UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS litically on an equality with man. None of those now in the work will dispute the assertion that to her efforts more than to those of any other one person the suffrage cause owes is wonderful development. There will be solace for many in the fact that death did not come suddenly nor cut her off before she had the pleasure and satisfaction of realizing the great advance made in the cause to which her heart was given. She will be missed in the councils of the suffragists, but hre memory will long survive to help others in their struggle—sometimes almost hopeless and again tinged with encouraging prospects—for the ballot and other privileges now denied them. Few women could have taken the part Miss Anthony did in this great campaign without incurring severe criticism and censure by her opponents, but it may be said of her that while many have denounced and derided the cause which she advocated, there was nothing but respect for the woman herself. Tributes of esteem will be freely paid to her by press and people everywhere. Spokesman-Review. WHY? Go where you may, North, South, East, West, and prejudice keeps the Negro to a great extent out of the mechanical trades. Why? It is a prejudice born of the white man, who is ever reluctant to own that he is his brother's keeper; ever reluctant to subscribe to the twin doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, if that brother is clothed in black and of African descent, even in past. Brought here, against his will, as a slave, the Negro has gradually been assimilated into American civilization, customs and habits until today he he a potent factor in the very make-up of our civilization. His bringing to America is contemporaneous with the first permanent English settlement. His tradehood and sturdy nature—God-given qualities added much to the cleaning up of the primeval forests of the Appalachian slopes. In times of war he has rallied always around the country's flag, whether that flag was unfurled in the cannon mouth at Bunker Hill, New Orleans, Chapultepec, Appomattox or San Juan Hill and yet the right and privilege for him to earn an honest livelihood by the sweat of his brow, in the mechanical trades, is denied him by his brother in white. The Indian who has never been assimilated into our civilization, aborignee though he be, is given more consideration than the Negro. The scum of the Latin races of Europe are better treated on American soil than the faithful, uncomplaining Negro. The "yellow peril" of the Orient, when once in America is of more consideration than the Negro. The country has once been solemnly warned by the injustice done the Negro. The day may come when men who recognize Negro worth, may rise in their might against this persecution and demand the why!—Exchange. WET SYNONYMS. Specimen Page of a Complete Dictionary of Toping.

D. S. Bellevue Hospital, March 4. George E. Roberts, director of the United States mint, in his estimate of the production of gold and silver in the United States for 1904, declared the increased production over the calendar year 1903 of $7,131,500 gold and 3,486,000 fine ounces of silver. The largest gold gain was by California, which yielded about $3,000,000 more than in 1903, and a larger amount than in any year since the '60s. "This gain," the director says, "came chiefly from dredge operations, and a further gain is expected during the current year and for some years to come. The California state mining bureau estimates the possible output of the dredges at $7,000,000 a year for thirty years. "Colorado shows an increase of nearly $2,000,000 gold and 1,300,000 ounces of silver; Alaska, a gain of $700,000 gold; Montana, a gain of 2,000,000 ounces of silver; Utah, a gain of 1,300,000 ounces of silver; Idaho, a gain of 1,300,000 ounces of silver." The amount of gold mined was 3,904,986 ounces, and the commercial value of the silver produced was $33,515,938, making the total value of the two metals $114,239,138. The world delights in sunny people. The old are hungering for love more than for bread. The air of joy is very cheap; and, if you can help the poor on with a garment of praise, it will be better for them than blankets.—Henry Drummond. Consumption, the Negro's Scourge.—It is the opinion of Dr. Hunter McGuire, of Virginia, that tuberculosis will exterminate the Negro race in this country. The death rate of the Negro is already twice that of the whites, as a whole, while in towns and cities it is nearly three times as great, and the proportion is increasing." And now another theorist is to the front with a remedy of exterminating the Negro. Consumption may be getting in its deadly work on the reckless colored man, but despite this he is rapidly on the increase. "Ravages of a Beetle.—Teh Black Hills beetle has killed between 700,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 feet of timber in the Black Hills Forest Reserve. It is also doing a lot of harm in Colorado and New Mexico. The Government has issued a pamphlet on fighting it by felling and barking trees." Why not send some of the hundreds of idle clerks about the national capitol, who are never busy but one day in the month—pay day—out to the infested section beetle killing? They might earn their wages at that. "Navy of Young Men.-The British navy is largely manned by young men. Over half the crews are mere youngsters. Here are the official figures: Aged fifteen to twenty-five, 63,790 sailors (or 57.69 per cent.); aged twenty-five to thirty-five, 36,160 (or 32.7 per cent.); aged thirty-five to forty-five, 9,-350 (or 8.45 per cent.); forty-five and over, 1.270 (or 1.14 per cent.)." Some of these days, perhaps, those "kids" will float up against the sturdy gruff old tars in Uncle Sam's service, and then the English government will realize that boys are not the things to absolutely entrust her naval protection to. "Longevity in Europe.—The Norwegians are longest-lived of the European people, and the Spaniards the shortest. The average duration of life in these foreign countries is as follows: Norway, 50; England, 45; Belgium, 44; Switzerland, 44; France, 43; Austria, 39; Germany, 39; Italy, 39; Bavaria, 36, and Spain, 32." That probably accounts for the United States having so many Norwegians. They have a longer run for their money and so FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1906 many little ones come that Norway would be overrun if her hordes did not leave for other parts of the world. "The Morality of Iceland.—It is said that in Iceland, about half the size of Missouri, there is 'no jail, no penitentiary; there is no court and only one policeman. Not a drop of alcoholic liquor is imported or made on the island. There is not an illiterate, and not a child ten years old unable to read." And yet every day you can hear of what a great blessing whiskey is to the world. The saloons, we are told, support the public school system and therefore the saloons are largely responsible for the civilization of this country. "The foreign commerce of the United States during the first seven months of the current fiscal year amounted to $1,752,421,- 330, or an average of $25,000,000 a month. Should it continue at this rate during the remainder of the year, the total foreign commerce for the fiscal year 1906 would exceed $3,000,000,000, a figure not reached in any previous year. Imports, which had never touched $100,000,000 in a single month prior to 1905, except on one or two occasions, as a result of prospective tariff changes, exceeded that sum in six of the twelve months ending with January; while exports exceeded $100,000,000 in each of the twelve months, and in December were close to touching the $200,000,000 line.' Our government is "foreign commerce" wild. So much is sent abroad that the citizens of the United States have to pay more for actual necessities than do the foreigners.

Building, Seattle POLITICAL POT-PIE New developments bearing on the defeat of John Riplinger, late Republican candi- date for mayor, are coming to light every day and ‘‘how it was done’’ the knowing politicians all have their different versions. One, who ought to know how it was done in view of the fact that in the past he has held a high place in the councils of the party, was heard to remark one day this week that the Seattle Electrie Company had designedly caused Mr. Riplinger to be nom- inated for the express purpose of having him defeated. He further claimed that the aforesaid company was exceedingly anxious for William Hickman Moore to be elected because he was more of a corporation man than was Riplinger. Moore had served them well in the past and there was no reason for believing that he would not do so in the future and especially in the ca- pacity of mayor of the city. And still another reason for Riplinger’s defeat is laid at the door of Elwood C. Hughes, the well known corporation lawyer, who, by the way, is a stockholder in the Post-Intelligencer company, and who two days before the election made a great howl about the new railroad, which he represent- ed and which has been knocking at the gates of Seattle for the past two months seeking entrance therein, was being held up by the City Council to such an extent that it would be utterly impossible for it to accept the terms of the Council and it would have to seek some other Puget Sound city for a terminal instead of Seattle and all on ac- count of the arbitrary actions of the City Council. Mr. Hughes declared in public that the railroad which he represented would not aecept the City Council’s offer and being a member of the P-I company and having the ear of the Times publishing, both of those papers roasted the Council to a Queen’s fin- ish, which cost the Republican party not less than a thousand votes, which may be veri- fied from the Mullen:Dow vote. That Hughes waited for that opportune time to speak as he did that it would defeat the Republican eandidate for mayor is quite apparent to the minds of a great many Republicans and than that nothing to them so clearly demon- strates that the company accepted the city’s Ye “ te P DR.

Reynolds on the grounds that two of the precincts cast many illegal votes for Rey- nolds, who was declared elected. In speak- ing of the matter, Mr. Reynolds was heard to remark: ‘‘I trust Mr. Wolfe will con- test my election and I trust he will find the illegal votes that he says was cast, and if he does, the two precincts in question. will be thrown out and Mr. Wolfe instead of myself will be the Councilman from the tenth ward, but in doing this, Mr. Wolfe will elect Mr. Riplinger Mayor of Seattle and I would willingly step down and out to see Mr. Riplinger step up and in. I have no objections whatever to Mr. Wolfe con- testing my election and throwing the two precincts out, in fact I rather court it.’’ A well known citizen who takes an active part in politics, said he was very much amus- ed to read in the newspapers two statements made by Mayor-elect Moore, which to him contradicted each other and showed that Moore had been playing both ends against the middle throughout the campaign and election. The morning after the election when it seemed as if Riplinger was elected by a plurality of 253 votes, Moore declared that he had been cheated out of 500 of his votes in the First ward and that he would go to the courts to prevent his First ward votes from being stolen from him. But as the day grew older and all of the precincts had been heard from and the figures showed that Moore instead of Riplinger had been eleeted by fifteen votes, then Moore declared that he had been supported and elected by the votes of the respectable people and that Rip- lingr had depended on the First ward for his support. He evidently, in his political excitement, had forgotten that he claimed a few hours prior a majority of the votes cast in the First ward, but had been cheated out of them by the various precinct election boards. Consistency, thou art a jewel. County polities is rapidly coming. to the front now that municipal polities has for the time being been laid on the shelf. The most active candidates for county offices are those seeking nomination for county commissioners. Last Saturday the big guns of the South district held a meeting at, the Hotel Diller to decide. whether they would FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1906. support Dan R. Abrams for re-election or W. A. Carle, the well known Georgetown po- litical leader. While they did not come to any definite conclusions in the matter, yet the candidacy of Abrams seemed to be favored by them. Another conference was asked for by the big guns, but the Carle supporters were not inclined to concede it and they are now de- claring war to the knife on Abrams and all politicians who favor him. They make bold to announce that they propose to carry the war into Africa and contest Mr. Abrams vote in every precinct in the district. “‘Dan Abrams does not live in the South district and it is unfair for the city of Seattle to -have two county commissioners,’ excitedly remarked a Carle advocate, which means there will be something doing. This county commissioner fight has gone a step further and has entered into the state senator fight in the Thirty-first senatorial district and the Carle people are now back- ing Ralph Nichols for state senator against A, T. Van DeVanter, who has declared, so they say, that he is for Abrams for County Commissioner. ‘‘This step on my part,’’ so Mr. Van DeVanter is reported as having said, ‘‘will doubtless cost me a renomination for state senator, but I am no political cow- ard and always die game. I am for my friends and will go down the line for them though I die in the endeavor.’’ The Carle people say he has the right tip and he will hear something drop at the next county convention. Speaking about state senators reminds the Pie-maker that considerable framing up is already going on for the nomination of the various state senators from this county. If the plans of the big four of the Thirtieth sen- atorial district do not misearry Dr. J. J. Smith will succeed himself as state senator from that district. If the plans of the big four of the South district do misearry Ralph Nichols will sueceed A. T. Van De Vanter in Thirty-first district and vice versa. O. A. Tucker is sparring to succeed himself in the Thirty-second senatorial district, but it is rumored that he will have considerable trouble in doing so. In the Thirty-third senatorial district Andrew Hemrich will en- deayvor to sueceed himself and thus far no Roaster eee ae Fa a an Bee Be ce Be fe REN eae ace MA a Se a : praca | 0. A. TUCKER, Thirty-second District. FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1906 [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. ANDREW HEMRICH Thirty-third District. Republican has shown any willingness to inaugurate a contest for the honor. The Thirty-fourth senatorial district contest for the nomination promises to be a hot number and there will be a number of candidates seeking it. It is rumored that Irving T. Cole who will retire from the council the 19th inst., will seek this nomination and will go into the campaign with a strong following, but there will be others almost too numerous to mention. In the Thirty-fifth senatorial district there is already a three cornered fight for the nomination in progress with strong indications that there will be at least two more candidates to shy their castors into the fight. Senator W. G. Potts is very anxious to succeed himself, but Frank H. Renick, who was a member of the lower house, also has a longing eye on that nomination and is preparing to give battle, while George W. Jeffries would not be averse to having the golden apple dropped in his pouch. Josiah Collins is also quietly seeking this nomination and there may be others. The Thirty-sixth senatorial district has a battle royal on. Dick Kinnear has decided that he would like to go back to the senate and he will make an interesting fight to succeed himself, while Representative Joseph Lyons seems to have his heart set on the same proposition. Joe lives in the Sixth ward and according to custom his ward is entitled to the nomination, but Kinnear has always got there. In the Thirty-seventh senatorial district E. B. Palmer seems to think he has the situation well in hand and will be able to succeed himself. He may be correct, but there are a number of politicians both in the Seventh and Third wards, who think he is reasoning without his host and that he will be defeated by an overwhelming vote in the district convention, but Eddy has never been defeated yet. The state senators elected this year will vote for the next United States senator who will succeed Levi Ankeny. There will be other candidates for the United States senatorship besides Mr. Ankeny and in King County Mr. Ankeny will have a great many bitter opponents. If R. L. McCormick is elected mayor of Tacoma at the next municipal election there, he having already been nominated by the Republicans for the job, he will be a strong factor in the senatorial contest in 1909. That he will have some strong followers in Seattle is already quite THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN resent, and the nomination of the various senators in King County will be in more or less by either Ankeny or McCormick politicians, which means that in the various districts will be hasted by the advocates of these editorial aspirants. McCormick is making strides to the front politically, while is gradually losing out. Joseph L. Mohundro, register of the seat Walla Walla, has lost his fight in pointment, President Roosevelt has the name of Receiver Gillis to the list with the name of Jesse J. Miller for of receiver. Mr. Mohundro has n apparent, and the nomination of the various state senators in King County will be influenced more or less by either Ankeny or McCormick politicians, which means that the fight in the various districts will be hotly contested by the advocates of these two senatorial aspirants. McCormick is making rapid strides to the front politically, while Ankeny is gradually losing out. Joseph L. Mohundro, register of the land office at Walla Walla, has lost his fight for re-appointment, President Roosevelt having sent the name of Receiver Gillis to the senate, with the name of Jesse J. Miller for the office of receiver. Mr. Mohundro has made [Name] W. G. POTTS, Thirty-fifth District. very efficient officer, and the cause of the crime is purely political.

Under the Constitution of this State, Section 12, sections 18 and 19, all transport companies, telephone companies andgraph companies are subject to legal regulation and legislative control.

Under the Constitution of this State, Article 12, sections 18 and 19, all transportation companies, telephone companies and telegraph companies are subject to legislative regulation and legislative control. It has been demonstrated that a three cent fare on street car lines, under the modern system of conveyance, is a sufficient compensation. Tom Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio. PETER H. R. M. KINNEAR, Thirty-Sixth District. [Image of a man in a suit with a white shirt and a tie, looking slightly upward. The background is a solid black oval frame.]] E. B. PALMER, Thirty-seventh District. has had numerous applications for the construction of street car lines in Cleveland, with a maximum fare of three cents. The people should see that the next nominees for the legislature, in the Republican party, are in favor of a maximum rate of three cents upon all street car lines, and allow no man to be elected who is not in favor of the proposition. At Port Arthur, Canada, telephone rates are $24.00 per year for office phones and $12.00 per year for house phones. It has been demonstrated throughout the United States and foreign countries, that a sufficient remuneration for telephones can be made at this price. In Sweden, business houses, with unlimited service, paid the government $15.25 per year. In Glasgow, Scotland, there are 7,000 telephones owned by private corporations, furnished to subscribers for $6.00 per year. By legislation in this state, under the constitution, telephone rates can be regulated; also street car rates; and in fact, the charges for the use of all public utilities. There ought to be no extra charge for long distance service within a radius of 50 miles, so that the farmers, the merchants, mechanics can communicate without extra charge. Telephones are a necessity at this time and not a luxury. Instead of working for the Independent Telephone Company, the people of this county should work to nominate men for the legislature who are in favor of the above provisions. In the state of Indiana, by statute, act of legislature, 1897, page 201, street car fares are limited to three cents. In the state of Indiana, telephone rates are limited to $36.00 per year for office phones by statute, and the telephone companies have not left the state on that account. In the state of Texas, in 1903, the legislature passed an act regulating street car fares; the same was taken to the Supreme Court of the state and decided to be constitutional and valid; 81 S. W. 106, San Antonio Traction Co. v. Altgelt. The decision of the Supreme Court of Indiana is reported in 47 N. E. 525, City of Indianapolis v. Navin. Outside of any decisions from other states, the people of the state of Washington, in their constitution, have reserved the right to control transportation companies, telephone companies and telegraph companies by legislation. It has been suggested that we have a county public telephone system. If such is desired, the legislature has the power, under the constitution, to provide that counties may establish a telephone system and regulate the price for its use. If it is desired to have a state municipal telephone, the legislature has the power, under the constitution, to provide by law for the municipal telephone by the state. The telephones owned by the municipalities in other countries have been a success. The great political questions, as heretofore stated, dividing the people, have passed away, and the people have the right now to make a government "of the people, by the people and for the people." The people do not have to submit to the county officers and their deputies, the state officers and their deputies, and the city officers and their deputies nominating the officers to hold the offices belonging to the people. The people are entitled to the direct primary and entitled to regulate the prices of the public utilities by statute, and it is their duty to commence now and see that no man belonging to the octopus is nominated or elected to any county or state office. PASSING EVENTS Last Sunday's dispatches reported a mine horror in France and a number of miners were entombed in the mine, the result of an explosion, the most of whom died from the effects of foul air. A later report declared that of the 1,970 miners who descended in the pit that day, 1,193 lost their lives. Both branches of Congress have passed a bill for the admission of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory into the sisterhood of states of the United States of America. Arizona and New Mexico strenuously objected to being admitted into the Union as one state and the two found sufficient friends in Congress to prevent the proposed coallision. If the United States Senate would but follow in the wake of the House of Representatives and pass the bill providing for the extending of the term of members of Congress to four years and for the election of senators by popular vote a long step in the right direction would have been taken. The voters of this country are very anxious to have the latter proposition, the election of senators by popular vote, become a law and if the senators themselves would but put their ears to the ground they would hear the rumblings of public sentiment so distinctly that they could but act favorably on the subject. Russia is looking favorably on the proposition which has been fathered by the United States to make an all-rail route to Europe from this country. The American trans-Alaskan Siberian company is pushing things just now and their scheme is to build a railroad across Alaska, tunnel the Behring Straights, thence across the Siberian country and through Europe. Should the road be built it would be the coming to pass of a dream dreampt a century ago. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The President has finally sent the name of W. B. Hogatt to the senate as governor of Alaska to succeed Governor Brady. Mr. Hogatt is one of the substantial men of Alaska and it is very generally believed that he will make the territory an ideal governor. The bill giving Alaska a representative in Congress has already passed the House and it would pass the senate if Senator Nelson was not jealous of Cushman having the honor for its passage. A severe engagement took place between the Moros in the Philippine Islands and the United States troops on Mount Dajo and 1,000 natives were killed, while the U. S. troops lost but seventeen men all told. The Moros were strongly fortified, but were not able to stand off the Americans, who rushed their intrenchments at the point of the bayonet. Gen. Wood gave orders that "no prisoners be taken" and it is needless to say the troops shot to death every man, woman and child that they saw. It is always the delight of an American Anglo-Saxon to kill a nigger and the troops had the opportunity they had longed for all their lives. The Supreme Court of Illinois has handed down a decision which gives the city of Chicago the absolute control of the street railway system of that city. One year ago E. P. Dunne was elected mayor of the city of Chicago on a municipal ownership platform and since that time he has been endeavoring to carry out his anti-election pledges, but the railroad companies tied the matter up in the courts and no move along the municipalownership line was made until the recent decision of the Supreme Court. It is now predicted that within a short time Chicago will give the world an opportunity to see whether cities in the United States can or cannot operate their own street-car systems. When death claimed Susan B. Anthony last Tuesday, one of America's most remarkable women was silenced. Even the career of the immortal Harriet Beecher Stowe does not shine more brightly in the annals of history than that of Miss Anthony. She entered public life when only seventeen years of age and continued in it until the very day of her death. It can be said of Miss Anthony that she was the most talked of woman throughout the entire world on account of hel lifelong fight for temperance, woman suffrage and the equal rights and privileges of the black folk in this country in whose interest she devoted much of her time and talent. She was a brave second to her remarkable brother, D. R. Anthony, who devoted his life and most remarkable talent to the self same causes. A plot on the part of members of the police force in Greater New York has been unearthed by District Attorney Jerome's detectives, which had for its object the killing of Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, the well known New York divine, who has taken the lead in the reforms of that city. The Seattle Republican has always been of the opinion that the average policeman in most places are more criminal than the criminals they are sent to hunt. FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1906 WHO'S ZOO IN AMERICA When after-dinner speeches shrink to fewness And jokes are mainly laughed at for their newness, What will be come of Chauncey M. Depewness? Alas, poor Yorick, how his gags do pall! Since some obscure, investigating vandal Into the dark Insurance poked a candle The Josh falls flat, the game's not worth the Scandal And Miller's Jest Book hangs upon the wall. Poor Yorick! Ah, I knew him well, Horatio; More fudge than fun, more side-chop than mustachio, An anecdote that savored of Bocaccio, An epigram that savored of the Ark; Who, clad in evening waistcoats smoothly ventral, Enthused the Nation's brain and heart and entrail, Pro Patria, Pro Tem., Pro New York Central (He jests at Whales who never saw a Shark!) Is this the head that towered among the friskers, The face that smiled between those weeping whiskers, Discoursing antique puns to cheer the riskers Who put their trust in Mr. Brazen Hyde? Ah, classic cheek and chin! how well you jabbered, Your cutlass seldom sleeping in its scabbard— Jests that were ever idle, yet how labored! While thousands sat spellbound, or ossified. The gayest dog of all Financial Leeches, When hungry men applied to him with screeches For bread, he gave them after-dinner speeches— Cold chestnuts, when they asked a bill of fare. By him were want and hunger ne'er neglected, And paupers by insurance thefts affected In winter flocked to him to be protected; They asked for fuel, he answered with hot air. But now his mummied mots we may entomb, or Bury in landslides of insurance humor, What sexton, pray, would dare exhume his Humor And show its staleness to the cold, gray dawn? Though dead men can't protest, howe'er you thwart 'em, And neither grief nor laughter can contort 'em, Just try Depew's post-prandial post-mortem Upon the dead—and watch the graveyards yawn! Collier's. Collier's. A crazy little woman has threatened to kill J. Pierpont Morgan, but was arrested before she even attempted the deadly deed. It seems that some man whom Morgan has robbed would not only threaten to kill him, but actually do so. --- FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1906.

FOR JAPAN PORTS Carrying Passengers and Freight. “MISS NEW YORK JR.’ What old time burlesque organiza- tions can boast of the same reputation as “Miss New York Jr.,” which will be at the Seattle next week. Lovers of burlesque are on tip toes at the mere announcement that this company is going to pay us a visit. The motto of “Miss New York Jr.” is “ring out the old, ring in the new” —this they certainly have succeeded in doing, as there is nothing remaining old except the title, which has always bee na household word among lovers of burlesque. Paul Gilmore’s splendid spectacular comedy romance, “Captain Debon- naire,” the attraction as the Grand, starting Sunday, abounds in the two main essentials of romantic drama— action and atmosphere. There is not a tsill moment from the time Louis le Debonnaire takes leave of his regi- ment, the Carignan-Salieres, at mid- night in the Chateau St. Louis at Que- bec, and sets out to New Amsterdam to win a girl he has never seen, until he returns there in the last five min- utes of the play with his bride at his side. And just as abundant and fasci- nating as the action is the color and spirit of the places and period—French Quebec and Dutch New Amsterdam in the year 1675. For the time being, the actors and audience seem to live in that romantic age. This, of course, is a triumph of acting and producing, but it is only what was to be expected from Mr. Gilmore and his manager, Jules Murry. For three performances, starting next Friday, “The Christian” will be played at the Grand. This is a stage version of the famous novel by Hall Caine, the author from the Isle of Man, which created such a sensation in the East and in London. “The Christian” tells the story of John Storm, a young man who relin- quishes wealth and position in the wish to uplift the poor and afflicted. Few stage plots have had more dramatic Is the wonder of the age in its line. The Metrostyle Pianola is the nearest ap- proach to human of any player on the market. The most difficult and classic music can be played on this isntrument with as much expression as the composer could with his own fingers. DON'T BUY A PLAYER because it is the fad and think that any old thing will do, Buy the best, as it is the cheapest in the long run—that is the Pianola. It is the only player on the market that will do what is required in music in the very important feature of expression. If you lose that, you have lost the best part of music. Don’t try to imitate the “PIAN- OLA,” as it has no equal. Come in and see it. We will play it for you—explain it to you, and show you the advantages over all other players. The Pianola is the only player with a metrostyle indicating the correct inter- pretation of the music. A mere child can operate it. Price, only $250. Sold on easy payments when desired. We also carry a complete line of Weber Pianola, Wheelock Pianola, Aeolian Pianola and Stuyvesant Pianola Pianos. D. S. JOHNSTON CO. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN scenes than “The Christian,” and the subject mater is such as appeals to the better anture of mankind. An ex- cellent company of players has been engaged for this production, headed by Lillian Lawrence and John sain- polis. If you have been to the Third Avenue Theatre this week and couldn’t get in try it again tonight. You may have better luck. So many people have wanted to see “Scotty,” the man who chartered the railroad train to take himself and wife to Chicago, Scotty the supposed Monte Cristo of Death Valley, Scotty who touches the wire when he wants a thousand dollars and gets it, Scotty who walks into the big- gest financial institution in New York and orders the president to meet him at a certain hour and bring him a cer- tain amount and gets it; Scotty who Charles A. Taylor has written a play about and who appears playing the part of himself in a play depicting events recently happening in his own life; Scotty who is the most magnetic and antural actor that anyone has ever seen; Scotty who is a mystery and a marvel is only one of the features in the Taylor Company’s production at the Third Avenue ‘Theatre this week. It is a wonderful show. The last per- formance will be given Saturday night. AROUND THE TOWN. We are to have next week at the Third Avenue Theatre “Around the Town,” a new comedy. The mere an- nouncement that such a comedy is coming under ordinary circumstances would not create any more than pass- ing notice, but when it is known that our old friends, Murray and Mack, are at the head ‘of the organization, local admirers of this famous team will, 20 doubt, begin to set up and take notice. This is the most pretentious offering Murray and Mack have ever attempted and their success along the line this season has been gratifying. Whilst they have always been a record break- ing attraction, judging from newspaper exchanges, their success this season exceeds all previous efforts. This will make Murray and Mack’s fourteenth consecutive season as stars at the head of their own organization, a rec- ord which has never been duplicated in farce comedy history. While Mur- ray and Mack are comparitively young the Coffee that’s ALWAYS good, is the very best Coffee obtainable; roasted in Seattle and packed in 1b and 2-Ib air-tight cans, there- fore, always fresh. Guaranteed by Bros. & Co., Inc. men, they are, with three or four ex- ceptions, in point of continual activity together, the oldest team before the public. An entire new equipment of scenery, and a complete set of new gowns have been provided for the chorus, and the stars promise a bully bristling entertainment. Go to a respectable place to borrow money on diamonds, jewelry and watches. Low rates. Private offices and all business strictly confidential.
