Seattle will relieve the South District of quite a few voters if she can once get her absobtion pump in perfect working order. The Direct Primary Law has worked like a charm in Oregon. The gang's slate was broken in many places, but what was the gang's loss was the people's gain. Stark Mad--only that and nothin6 more—seems absolutely true of the editorial push of The Seattle Daily Times. The bombastic slush it daily emits about itself is so silly that it is really nauseating. Griffin's Bee hopes to buzz in Everett as it once did in Seattle. Unless Griff has better success in keeping out of jail in the City of Smokestacks than he did in this city he can be truly styled, the Editor of the Cell. Governor Mead will call no extra session of the legislature, and he will not borrow money from the banks, hoping the next session of the legislature will reimburse them. The idea is so impolitic that it is really silly. Colored Men who make up their minds that they can accomplish nothing because they do not get the best jobs in the land will find theirs a rough road to travel. Make up your minds that if you cannot be pudding you will be pie. Oregon, should the results of the recent Republican primaries be endorsed at the polls next June, will be able to do the Cakewalk stunt in the United States jam-up, Mr. Cake having been nominated for United States Senator one day this week. Publicity in all county affairs, financially, would be the mesns of saving to the tax payers many thousands of dollars each year. If the county officials knew that every cent they paid out would be published in some newspaper they would not be near so free in dishing it up to the gang. The Seattle Republican now occupies its own quarters and is printed with its own material. It is the purpose of the management to give our patrons the very best service possible, and advertisers would be wise if they should investigate our claim to their patronage. How Can We Prevent Local Strikes is an editorial headline. Try to be fair to both the consumer and the producer and watch the results. Right here within ten miles of the mines consumers pay as much for coal as do consumers in China for the same article; and yet we have heard of no coal miners setting the world on fire out of their earnings. --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1906 Will Check Divorce Evil From practically all parts of the Union the papers are voicing public sentiment expressive of gratification over the decision handed down last week by the United States supreme court. relative to the illegality of divorces granted in states which do not have jurisdiction over both the parties concerned. The decision is reasonably considered to be an important check on the divorce evil, which has grown to scandalous proportions and is sapping the very foundations of society. It goes a long way toward what has often been sought through legislation, though it is not to be supposed there will be any relaxation in efforts to secure uniformity in the divorce laws of the various states. Some measure of consternation has been felt in connection with the supreme court's decision because of the assumption that it would illegitimatize many thousands of children, and this point was brought out prominently in the dissenting opinion of Justice Holmes. This would, indeed, be a deplorable result, but it does not appear that it would necessarily follow the decision except in cases where the divorce and subsequent remarriage of the party obtaining the divorce are attacked. In hundreds of cases there is little, if any, probability of such attack being made. One or other of the parties may be dead, or both may have married again. Should the defendant in the divorce proceedings not attack the decree, it is not apparent that any one else is entitled to do so, and where the validity of the divorce is unquestioned by the party entitled to bring the matter into court the legal status of children by a subsequent marriage should naturally remain unimpaired. The main effect of the present decision will be to end the present promiscuous granting of decrees whose validity, it is now shown, can be successfully altacked. There will be a practical cessation of short term residences in states like South Dakota, where divorces are easily obtainable, since it is demonstrated that decrees there granted are certainly voidable. Spokesman-Review. Ownership Modesty, it would seem, would prevent Senator Ankney's paper from publishing such effusive editorials anent himself; but it does not. The real candidate for senator is D. B. Crocker, and Ankney is being used to furnish the cold and silent cash. Of course, Senator Ankney has no voice in the prooeedings, but in this we are reminded of the following couplet: Yet, come it will, the day de reed by fate; How my heart trembles while my tongue relates." When Levi Ankney will be done to death by the Crocker-Stevenson bunch. Explain Yourself The street cars of Seattle will hereafter carry dogs. The Seattle Argus thinks it fair inasmuch as they carry hogs every trip and we can see where that paper is right.—Auburn Argus. Are we to understand from the above excerpt that Editor Gregory is exchanging compliments with Editor Chadwick? While one cannot always sometimes tell yet, The Seattle Republican thinks the inference as to Chad. is not well founded, his peculiar grunts under certain conditions to the contrary, notwithstanding. Democratic Discord seems the most sensible way to describe the Jeffersonian-Bryan party these days, but with such performers as Bryan, Tillman, Jeff Davis, Vardeman and their ilk what else except discord could be expected ? UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN 1906 PSICE TEN CENTS Is Grateful In Archbishop Ireland's speech of February 22, in Kansas City, to an audience of 10,000, His Grace made an eloquent plea for justice to the Negro, contending that the solution of the Negro problem lies along the lines of charity and patience, both on the part of the white man and on the part of the black man. Among the archbishop's hearers was Bishop Abraham Grant, of the Methodist body, who has written to His Grace to express his gratitude for the sentiments he expressed. "When," writes the Negro bishop, "such men as Rev. Thomas Dixon, Gov. Vardaman, of Mississippi, Gov. Davis, of Arkansas, and Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, are making strenuous efforts to convince the world of the unworthiness of the Negro and his inability to accept and appreciate a higher civilization, your plea to an audiece of ten thousand for justice and fair treatment to him, came to my ear as a cooling spring to a thirsty soul. We have been waiting patiently for some time for one of the great men of our country, with national influence, to rise in the majesty of his manhood in the defense of a helpless people and simply state the facts with reference to this contingent of Americans, give course and advice and throw a new lustre upon the star of hope held out by President Roosevelt. "Eternity alone will make known the good you are doing along the lines indicated, and on behalf of a grateful people, I thank you."—Irish World. Definition of A Gentleman It will be remembered that a man who died recently in Joplin, Mo., left a bequest of $10,000 for the purpese of distributing Mark Twain's definition of a gentleman among the members of the Y. M. C. A. In an address to the Y. M. C. A. of New York, Mark Twain took occasion to refer to this incident and to pay a beautiful tribute to his old coachman and friend. He said: "Here is a telegram from Joplin, Mo., and it reads: 'In what one of your works can be found the definition of a gentleman?' I never attempted to define a gentleman. I do not know exactly what it is. Of course, if they were to give me the $10,000 I would endeavor to find a definition. It seems to me that there was a verse read here from the Bible about justice, mercy—what was that third one?—yes, kindness. It seems to me that if any man has just, merciful and k1ndly instincts that he would be a gentleman, for he would need nothing else in this world."—Catholic Northwest. Silk is obtained from a species of shellfish known as the pinna, found in the Mediterranean. The shellfish has the power of spinning a silk which the Sicilians make into a very handsome fabric. The silk is spun by the shellfish in the first instance for the purpose of attaching itself to the rocks. The experts at the dead letter office in Washington received a letter a few days ago which had apparently mystified every postmaster who had undertaken to decipher the address. The superscription on the envelope read: "Mr. George Robinsno." Then there followed a picture of four dice, underneath which was a picture of what looked like a house boat, a can of tomatoes and a hand saw. In an instant an expert in the dead letter office wrote out the complete address. It was: "Mr. George Robinson, Fordyce, Arkansas." ```markdown ``` Captain Griffin, a jolly, good-natured Scotchman, lives just below Hillman City, on the old Renton line. For some time past he has been in the government service, as inspector of boats. Like most other Scotchmen, the captain is very much a gentleman and very gallant on a car loaded with women; and he is always one of the first to give his seat to a lady. The captain was recently going down to his home on a car, and as it was soon crowded, he gave his seat to a lady. The captain had about a dozen packages and the lady volunteered to hold them while he was hanging on to the straps with both hands, as the car went whizzing around the corners. In one of the packages was an alarm clock, which, it seems, was loaded and ready for an explosion. As the car gave a jolt while passing over a switch, off went the alarm clock. The bearer of the captain's packages, thinking it was an infernal machine, made a rush for the door to dump all of the packages overboard. It took the combined strength of both the captain and Conductor Budd to keep the woman from the door until an explanation could be made, Speaking of Editor Griffln reminds me that he is a great newspaper man. His field of action is from Chicago to Portland, thence to San Francisco. He carries ads in his paper from all the prominent towns between the above points; and it is truly wonderful the results obtained by the merchants from those ads. Then he can have every Negro in all of those states, counties and cities vote either the Republican or Democratic ticket, if only the candidate whose name is on the ticket will "dig up" sufficient dough to get the rabbit foot of his paper to working properly. Under our system of self-government the people get just what they want; that is, just what they vote for. If grafting and dishonesty in office is condemned by the voters, if they refuse to return men to office who have proven unworthy, you will soon find that honesty and efficiency will prevail in all departments. On the other hand if you will blindly vote your ticket and return unworthy men to office, you will find a corrupt machine in control that only a revolution can dethrone. A wave of reform is sweeping over the country and it should be permitted to permeate every department, from school director to the United States senate. Strutting about the streets of Seattle one day this week, A. D. Griffin, the publisher of a weekly paper in Portland, Oregon, was observed. "He," said an acquaintance, "is what I call a thoroughbred. Down in Portland he asked for a drink in a saloon and was refused on account of his color. But Griffln would not stand for it, and flashed up a ten-spot on the bar and demanded a drink, which he got at once. The cartender took the ten, remarking, 'this settles the 'ill.' Griffln was too gritty to hollow, and sneaked out looking as if something had hit him in his tired." One of the three nice, large coaches on the old Renton line has become a flat-wheel car and the springs have been removed from one of the smaller type. These changes, the patrons of that line believe, have been made for the purpose of stimulating the digestive organs of people traveling over that road. That passengers may know the cars at sight, signs are to be placee on each end, in large letters: "Osgood's Appetizer." The park commissioners want the water department to pay for the privilege of erecting a stand pipe and reservoir in Woodlawn park and yet the park commissioners expect free water. Could a proposition be more inconsistent? An Eastern paper tells a story on a group of colored pallbearers that is too good to keep. It seems that while the pall bearers were lifting the coffin from a train a ventriloquest, near by, threw his voice into the casket and said: "Let me down casy, boys." The pall bearers dropped the coffin and took to their heels, but were finally rounded up a mile and a half away. The ventriloquist was convulsed with laughter, and in his mirth gave the joke away. He was carried before the police judge of the city and fined one hundred dollars. Cutting down Jackson and Dearborn streets will give the southeastern part of the city two splendid avenues. The heavy grades on these streets have retarded the development of that part of the city and now that this is to be speedily remedied property values are rapidly advancing. Two lots that were sold for taxes a few years ago, on Rninier avenue, sold for $2.600 a few weeks ago. The principal of the Columbia and Hillman City schools has chosen an unique subject for debate in the high school department. It is, "Resolved, that the most important event in the career of a barred Plymouth Rock pullet is when she lays her first egg, and not when she hatches her first chicken." The school board is to act as judges in the contest. A new disease has been discovered in the East that would be a splendid thing for water front cities. The disease consists of being unable to stop running once the victim gets a good start. Scientists are now searching for the germ, and when it is discovered grafters are to be inoculated and given a send-off toward the river or bay fronting the city. The principal in the Brighton Beach school has a unique way of encouraging the children to increased work. In his freequent dessertations he tells the boys and girls how his own little boy does things, and advises the schollars to emulate him. Children are not generally slow in "catching on," and the principal is being regarded as a huge joke. What an unexpected rise has our own and only John K. Brown taken during the recent hibernating season, as he emerges with plans and specifications for the immediate erection of a $125,000 home. He is trying to palm it off as a misprint, but the public believes it to be the real stuff, and that John K. has been playing "foxy grandpa" all these years. The loss of human life in San Francisco has been estimated at 5,000, and fleas—no doubt there were several billion. A resident of the unfortuna e city will nevertheless rejoice over the wholesale destruction of that pesky flea, which grows larger and fiercer in San Francisco than any other place on earth. One of the blg Northern Pacific freight cars was accidently switched onto the side-track at Breighton Beach. It was loaded with furniture and general household goods, and came from the east. The old Renton line has a good trade and large railroad cars are frequently run over its tracks. The time will no doubt come when the admiration for and the beauty of our American railroad passenger trains will not be marred by the nerve-wrecking, jaw-breaking names usually given to drawing room and sleeping cars.

The attention of water consumers is invited to the following sections of ordinances 12,966: Section 13. The use of water for irrigation is prohibited except between the hours of six and nine o'clock in the morning and six and nine o'clock in the evening. For violation of this regulation a penalty of two dollars shall be imposed and taxed against the owner of the property supplied by the service used in such irrigation, and the water shall be turned off until the same is paid. Irrigation will be allowed free of cost on a lot 120x120 feet, or its equivalent area, used as a lawn and occupied by a building used as a dwelling, together with the right to use not more than two sets of hose. The use of additional hose or of water for irrigating a larger tract than specified above will not be allowed unless payment shall have been made in advance, and for any violation of this regulation a penalty of two dollars shall be imposed and taxed, as provided in this section. When water is turned off for any violation of this ordinance, it shall under no circumstances beturned on again until all charges and penalties have been paid in full. Section 20. The inside diameter of hose for sprinkling purposes must not be more than three-quarters of an inch and the inside diameter of the orifice to the nozzle of the same must not be more than one-fourth of an inch. The use of a hose without a nozzle is prohibited. It shall be unlawful for any one to place a sprinkling device so as to throw water on any person passing along the street or sidewalk contigious to any premises. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be subject to a fine of $2.00 and the water cut off, and in no case turned on again until the fine has been paid. These rules will be rigidly enforced during the irrigation season of 1906. SUNDAY FORUM. Dr. Booker T. Washington himself could not have given an assemblage of his own race a more practical and matter of fact talk than did the Hon. John L. Wilson last Sunday afternoon to the Forum. From the very beginning to the end of his talk his every word hit the nail squarely on the head and he was roundly applauded throughout by the appreciative audience. "While the colored man has not done as much in the way of improvement as he might or should have done, yet he has done a great deal. For 400 years he was held in bondage and has only been a man of his own for nearly fifty years, and yet in that length of time he has accumulated personal taxable property valued at $650,000,000, and has churches, school houses, seminaries, colleges, farms and other property that reach into the multiplied millions of dollars and yet when he started out for himself he had nothing," said the senator in his opening remarks. "The future of the colored man depends largely on himself," he continued. "If he continues to flock to the cities he can not expect to accomplish as a whole as much as if he returned to the soil. For hundreds of years he tilled the soil and if he knew anything at all it was the farm, and why desert it now that he has an opportunity to make for himself an ideal farm home." "How much of your earning do you put away in some savings bank? Do your expenses exceed your income? The man, whether black or white, who is without either property or cash does not count for much in this land and government of ours. Work, work, work, and lay away some of your earnings each week, however, small the amount, and good results will as sure follow as night day. Be honest with, not only your fellow man, but honest to yourself and the future of the colored man would be no different than that of the white man." The above are sketches from the senator's one hour talk and it is the concensus of opinion among those who heard him that he spoke to the colored man as has no other leading white man ever before done in the Northwest. In closing he spoke briefly of the wonders he saw in the old world during a recent tour thereof, and amid his wonderings he by chance came to a tomb of a hero of the Revolutionary war and over it floated the flag of his country—Old Glory—and as he beheld it the words, "My Country 'Tis of Thee" never before seemed so dear to him. The thought was inspired by the singing of America by the audience at the opening of the meeting. Let the Negro be a man, be honest, save his earnings, get farms and with one accord North, South, East and West, both the black man and the white man will join in one great chorus and sing: "My country 'tis of thee Sweet land of liberty." At the conclusion of Mr. Wilson's talk Mr. I. F. Norris rose and briefly eulogized the speech and moved that a rising vote of thanks be extended to Senator Wilson for his very instructive lecture to the Forum, which was unanimously carried. There will be a call meeting of the Forum next Sunday at 4 o'clock p. m. at the Afro-American Realty and Investment hall for the transaction of important business. Your article on "Conservative Journalism" is the worst piece of rot ever printed in any paper in the city of Seattle. There were hundreds of people who had relatives in other parts of California who were anxious to hear any news that might come, and who were willing to pay any price for it. True, a great many of the extras contained very little new matter, but it might be enough to satisfy some person as to the safety or death of someone dear to them. The above comes to this office from B. B. Brown, who is "a reader" of The Seattle Republican. Evidently Mr. Brown is and has been a constant reader of the Times, and especially its sensational extras. The Times has many readers of Mr. Brown's stripe, who doubtless enjoy the colonel's black vomit beyond expression. In Seattle the Times has grown fat on falacious extras. All of us remember how in November, 1896, the Times made thousands of dollars issuing extras every thirty minutes, each one declaring Bryan was surely elected. Hundreds, if not thousands, of gullables stood around the Times office for three days buying Bryan extras when every word it published was a falsehood. The Times, it will be remembered, issued extras declaring the Hon. John H. McGraw was a defaulter and doubtless Mr. Brown enjoyed those, notwithstanding the fact it was as base a lie as was ever put in print. He who has followed the Times' extras in the San Francisco horror knows full well that it has exaggerated from the very first extra for no other purpose than to speculate for its own selfish interest—in other words, to sell papers. Of course, such sensational black vomit sheets as the Times thrive in Seattle because Seattle has so many persons who will read a lie much more eagerly than they will the real facts. It's big black headlines that count with them. PRAISES COLORED SOLDIERS. Fort Niobrara, Nebraska. April 23, 1906. Your article on the colored troops which appeared in your issue of April 13 has been brought to my attention. I can but reiterate your statements relative to our colored soldiers. A few years ago two of our companies were ordered to Fort Des Moines, Iowa, for station to prepare the post for the Eleventh Cavalry (white) that were soon to return from Manila. The citizens of Des Moines were greatly opposed to colored troops and the writer was informed that pressure was brought to bear in Washington to keep the 25th Infantry away. The two companies of the 25th Infantry went to Fort Des Moines in spite of protests. They were the first U. S. regulars to occupy the post there. The men were so orderly that for more than four months after their arrival the policemen of the city had no occasion to interfere with a single one of them. As you stated in your article, there is bound to be one or two bad men in every crowd of two or three hundred. So the police finally had occasion to telephone to the commanding officer telling him that a certain main had been a little drunk and disorderly in town and they desired the officers in the post to take action in the matter. After about five months the Eleventh Cavalry arrived and the two companies of the 25th Infantry returned to Fort Niobrara. They had made many friends in the city and they were complimented on their good conduct by everyone. I said the Eleventh Cavalry followed the 25th Infantry at Fort Des Moines. Four troops, very few men in a troop too. I believe the total number of men was one hundred and twenty-nine. How did they conduct themselves? Well, the papers spoke of how some of the men went down town armed with revolvers. Special Correspondent. got drunk, and tried to shoot each other. The street railway company found it necessary to have the commanding officer put guards on the cars to the post to make the men behave themselves and many other things, showing a great contrast between the white and colored troops. In addition it is a well known fact that many more white men desert their regiments than colored men, showing the loyalty of the latter. Another comparison may be interesting. A small detachment of the 22d Infantry was stationed at Fort Niobrara when the colored troops arrived. This small detachment of white men was a constant menace to the peace of the little town of Valentine. They got drunk whenever in town and frequently the officer who was in command at the post had to hire transportation to send them to the post and keep them out of jail. It was very frequent that the town marshal had to arrest them in addition. When the 25th Infantry was ordered here, the townspeople did not like it very much, but to their credit it may be said they were sensible enough not to make any open protest. Now, when time approaches for our regiment to leave for another station, is the time that the people protest. They want us to remain until it is our turn to go to the Philippines. Not a citizen in town can be found who would not prefer the 25th Infantry to any white regiment in the service. People in Seattle will soon be able to draw their own conclusions. If the colored soldier is treated as his position in life warrants not a citizen will regret his coming. They spend their money freely, but patronize the business houses who appreciate their trade, who realize that five dollars from a colored man is just as good as five dollars from a white man. Just like Walla Walla! Hire a wise man from afar to do our work and then refuse to accept his judgment. If we knew enough to put in the water system, why didn't we do it? If we didn't know enough to do it, why do we "butt in?" We have some great heads in Walla Walla. They stay on top, like corks—probably because of their lightness. Let the fizz-pop proceedings cease. It is time for the men who do things to get to work.—Walla Walla Argus. Phone Red 6735 CHAS. H. HARVEY CARPENTER House Painting, Sign Painting, Paper Hanging, Kalsomining and Job Carpentering. 308 N.

Arcade Building "HOW FATHER HAS CHANGED --- Soundings ```markdown ``` Friday, April 27, 1906 Chairman E. B. Palmer of the Republican state central committee has issued a call for the assembling of the committee to fix the time and place of the next state convention, which will nominate three representatives to congress and four supreme court judges. Wednesday, May 23d, is the day fixed for the meeting of the committee at the hour of 4 o'clock p. m. in the office of the chairman, 633 Pioneer block, Seattle, Washington. Mr. Palmer favors the holding of the next convention in Seattle, and in view of the fact Seattle has not had a state convention it will be nothing but fair that it come to her. No city on the Pacific Coast has better hotel accommodations at present than Seattle, and she can take care of a national convention, to say nothing of a state affair. Let Seattle have the convention, gentlemen, and do not be selfish. Mayor Moore's first appointment has been turned down and Capt. Jensen has been given another lease of official life. The Pie-maker regrets very much to see such a difference arise between the mayor and the council, for it means no good to the city. Unless a majority of the members of the city council radically change their minds it will be a wilful waste of time on the part of the mayor to devote any time to the naming of new officials, for the present at least. The members of the G. A. R. are strong in their denunciations of a majority of the council for turning down Capt. Spaulding; and especially against Councilman Hi. C. Gill, who, they claim, promised to support Spaulding, even after the so-called objectionable resolutions had been passed. On the other hand Mr. Gill and his friends in the council claim that Capt. Spaulding's appointment was a pro-election promise, which, of itself, puts his Republicanism in a questionable light. To say that G. A. R. members are indignant from the soles of their feet to the crowns of their heads but mildly expresses it. Theodore Roosevelt believes the citizens of the United States are amply able to care for their own unfortunates and he therefore declines with thanks foreign aid. A nobler sentiment was never before uttered. Hi Gill may have made a political mistake in not voting for the confirmation of Capt. Spaulding, but the G. A. R. will make enemies for its cause if it enlists the support of the Times. That sheet tried to ruin Councilman Gill before the late election and instead of injuring him Gill was decidedly the popular candidate before the city convention. The Times has raised $200,000 (?) for the San Francisco sufferers, or that is what the Times says. Of course the citizens had no interest in the matter, save that inspired by the Times. Did ever one cross a more conceited braying ass than the old blow hard on the Times. Osculating Hobson has successfully run the gauntlet and will be elected to congress next November. He will, it is said, be the president's right bower in the house of representatives. Mayor Moore, it is claimed, is preparing to enforce all the city ordinances. It is plain to be seen that Mayor Moore is not preparing to be re-elected. Seattle's Donation to the San Francisco sufferers is now beyond the $200,000 mark. That's a princely sum and if charity only prompted its giving and not to do more than some other city, it is equal to that many millions. If false pretenses were a crime among nations France could be convicted for pretending to be a re public and Russia would be punished for falsely representing herself to be a civilized, Christian people. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ITEMS OF INTEREST Probably the last family link with Millet, the painter of "The Angelus," has passed away in the person of his brother Jean Baptiste Millet. Like his more famous brother he was an artist. Dr. Anna Shaw has gone to Oregon where she will be busy until the middle of June conducting a campaign for woman's suffrage. Dr. Shaw is the successor of Miss Anthony as president of the National Association of Woman Suffragists. Mrs. Levi P. Morton has supplemented the gift made last year to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, in New York, by her husband, former Governor Morton, by donating $50,000 to be used in providing choir furniture. This is in memory of her mother, the late Susan Kearny Street. Andrew J. Harlan, of Savannah, Mo., is the last survivor of the Thirty-first congress. having represented the Eleventh Indiana district. Although 91 years old, he is still hale and hearty. Among the members in this congress were such men as Daniel Wester, John C. Calhoun, William H. Seward, Stephen A. Douglas, Jefferson Davis and John J. Crittenden. One of the most interesting figures in Harvard university is Edward Ray, a blind student, who hails from a small country town in North Carolina.

There are enough daily happen- ings here to furnish half a dozen of plots for as many melodramas. There are heart breakings, love affairs, esca- pades of such a variety and number that there is no known method of com- puting them. You will not recognize the plot in “Ruined Lives,” but you will like the play for it is interesting. The scenes are laid in Seattle, but the characters are not recognizable. “A Texas Ranger” will be the play that a big company will produce at the Third Avenue theatre next Sunday. The scenes and happenings are, of course, laid in the southwest, where there are many romantic and inter- esting characters to furnish food and material for the imagination of the author. The play will be given a big scenic production under the direction of R. E. French and a big collection of well known actors will furnish the characters. Seattle, Wash., April 24th, 1906.
