SEATTLE REPUBLICAN NORTHWEST VOL. X[II NO. 43 SEATTLE REPUBLICAN H. R. Cayton ..... or and Publisher Susie Revels Cayton ..... Associate SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... .60 Entered at the Postoffice at Sea e, as Second Class Mail Matter, Everett is making great efforts to become a city of the first class. Thats easy—annex to Seattle—and there you are. Secretary Taft has returned and says Cuba is quiet. That is strange, but then strange things will happen when "big" men come around. Since President Roosevelt has designated forms for labeling whisky in accordance with the pure food law, it is noticeable that none is to be called "Bad whisky." All indications point to May 1 being the beginning of some warm days. Capital and labor will meet in a clash. The result can only be surmised. Preparations for a great summer run to Alaska are being rapidly made by those who have been collecting here for that purpose ever since last December, which promises to be the biggest since the first few years rush. Col. Henry Watterson, the leading Democrat of Kentucky, after taking his 30 "mint julip" for the day, prophecied that Gov. Hughes of New York will be our next president. Will the Democrats please allow us to choose our own president? Mackintosh got off a lot of gibberish the other day and the Evening Swillbarrel at once announced that Gov. Mead would have to call an extra session of the legislature to save the state from going to the damnation how wows. Rats. Frank Cotteril, a well known labor agitator, has been admitted to membership of the Chamber of Commerce of Seattle. Now Cotteril should be equally liberal and admit Jacob Furth, the well known capitalist and industrial captain, to membership to the federation of labor. And San Francisco is not the only town in which General Grafter has been successfully operating it reports be true, for even in the little town of Mt. Vernon, Skagit county, the home of former Governor Henry McBride, and who seems to have gotten his as well, shows signs of having been in his clutches for the past ten years. Whither, whither are we as a nation drifting? --- SEATTLLE.WASHINGTON APRIL 26 1907 The "open shop" in Seattle is a muchly discussed question just now and if a few more of the industrial concerns will throw open their places to labor irrespective of their union affiliations then there will be less labor congestion in this man's town. There is hardly any doubt but that the Morning Times, "the only real morning newspaper Seattle has ever had," is a blankedy blank failure, for if it were not the Blethens would be shooting off their mouths so loudly that the fog horns of the Sound would be silenced. If the Rev. Grant Stewart would preach instead of lecture to his parishioners we believe they would appreciate him more and if they did not he would show more good horse sense than he did in his last Sunday's brain storm discourse. Hi Gill may be a peanut politician, but we suspect the Rev. Grant Stewart is a darn poor judge of that fact. Councilman Conway is fighting the free lunches that are set up by the various dive saloons of the First ward on the grounds they are a swift seconds to the ordinary swill barrel contents, all of which, in our opinion, is more than true, but Conway's opposition is a cock sure evidence that he has no intention of returning to the council from that ward as "my constituents" will hardly stand for it. Spring got busy for a few days this week and came pretty nearly putting the winter King in the shade, but it is not good to hollow before you get out of the woods, hence we propose to do little if any boasting about "good weather being upon us." When the army officers make seravants out of the soldiers and relieve them from drill practice that they may do the family washing for the officers, there is hardly any doubt of the fact that the United States soldier has quite outlived his usefulness and the sooner a few hundred more of the troops are discharged without honor the better for the entire country. This has been a most strenuous week for President Roosevelt. The opening of the Jamestown Exposition, dictating labels for whisky, directing interstate commerce commission, pushing the probe in San Francisco, manipulating politics in Ohio, boosting Taft for president, laying wires to make his son-in-law senator and a few other smaller things. Henry Watterson has predicted that Governor Hughes of New York will succeed President Roosevelt in the White House, which may be quite correct, but Marse Henry has made some mighty poor predictions in PRICE TEN CENTS. the past as to who would be "the next president," so poor that we have no faith in this prediction. In our opinion Joseph Benson Foraker is holding a pretty straight line on the White House just now. When a Catholic priest predicted, "San Francisco would be destroyed on account of the wickedness within her gates," he came pretty nearly calling the turn on the Golden Gate City, for since the time he made the prediction the earthquake has visited the city and subsequently the grafter king swept the city like a cyclone and there seems to be but a wreck of the former great city left to tell the tale. Not even the "five righteous" could be found to justify the saving of the city and like Sodom of old it must be destroyed and Reuf turned into a pillar of salt. The Seattle Republican's Special Northwest Negro Progress Number will be ready for mailing by May 10th. Besides recounting the facts about the Negro in this state it woll contain pictures of 100 well known Negroes of the state and equally as many of their homes. If the number is well circulated in the East it ought to be the means of bringing many Negroes to this section, where plenty of work at good wages may not only be had, but actually awaits their coming. The price per copy will be twenty-five cents. That you may get as many copies as you desire we suggest that you send in your order for extra copies immediately. Persons out of town should send the cash with their orders. Agents wanting copies for sale should write the office at once for particulars. The Seattle Republican. While Miss Anna T. Jeanes, a Philadelphia millionairess, is giving a million dollars for the education of the Negro and thereby make more acceptable citizens of him from an Anglo-Saxon standpoint, a member of the Texas legislature is advocating the burning of a state normal school of that state on the grounds that "education destroys the usefulness of the Negro," and remarkable as it may seem fifteen other members of the legislature voted with him to actually burn the institution instead of appropriating money for its maintenance. To stop to prove in the face of such facts to twentieth century civilization that the average white man in the South is more a heathen than the Hottentots of Darkest Africa is a willful waste of time and an unnecessary taxation of gray matter. All the damphool things ever done in this country was done by men born south of Mason and Dixon line. The Anarchists of Europe are angels in comparison to them. At the rapid rate the suburbs are coming into Seattle it will be but a few weeks more before Greater Seattle will be an actual actuality. Of course the Negro is no longer a charge on the general government and he has not been since the adoption of the fourteenth amendments to the Constitution. It begins to look as if the immortal William Jennings Bryan is getting so badly mixed in his proposed paramount issues for the next presidential campaign that he will have to start all over again. The president of a Pittsburg railroad says he was held up by the city council for $70,000. He got off easy. Who is next? Come on, don't be ashamed to own up. HEALTH GROWS Health is a thing of growth, like grass and trees. One can raise a crop of health as he may raise corn or potatoes. You can not get a bushel of potatoes out of a pint bottle or some sort of extract or decoction, nor even one potato. Neither can one get vitality or strength out of a pill box or a medicine chest. Health doesn't come that way any more than do potatoes. One can raise a crop of potatoes, and one may in much the same way raise a crop of health. Good health. You may make homes enchantingly beautiful: hang them with pictures; have them clean, airy, and convenient, but if the stomach is fed with sour bread and burned foods, it will raise such rebellion that the eyes will see no beauty anywhere.—Sel. PECULIAR AND PERTINENT. The folding envelope was first used in 1839. Bombshells were first made in Holland, in 1495. The first almanac was printed in Hungary in 1470. Great Britain imports annually from New Zealand over 60,000,000 rabbits. Damaseus is the first city in the Turkish empire to be lighted with electricity and to have electric street cars. Only 7 per cent of the food of a French peasant consists of meat, while an English navy's food is 28 per cent meat. The temple of Diana at Ephesus was 425 feet long and held 27,000 people. The alphabets of the various languages of the world vary from 12 to 202 letters. The Jews were banished from England in 1290 and not recalled until the time of Oliver Cromwell. Iceland ponies are a fad in England. They are in great demand among the British who can afford to indulge their whims. It is doubtful whether the frigate bird or the Alpine swift can-fly faster. Both are credited with a possible speed of over 150 miles an hour. The primary law was tested at Spokane yesterday. The results were satisfactory. S. H. Moore of the Civic League branch of the Republican party was nominated Mayor Daggett was the Democratic nominee. ```markdown ``` Afro=Americanism. Henry H. O. Burwell, a lawyer's clerk of Boston and a Spanish-American war veteran, won second prize in the Boston Post's book lovers' contest. Rev. J. J. Blackshear, pastor of Second Baptist Church of Columbus, Ohio, was killed by the explosion of gas that had escaped in the room. He lighted a match and caused the explosion. David Scott, one of Chicago's oldest and most respected colored citizens, died last Thursday. W. H. Sparrow, Jr., is the only recognized colored compositor and linotype operator of Typographical Union No. 6, now on the New York Tribune. The Chamber of Commerce of Pittsburg has recognized Henry O. Tanner, the Negro artist, as one of the 28 famous men of that city. The Grand Fountain of True Reformers held a grand meeting at Pittsburg last week. 1,500 members marched in line. It was the 16th anniversary of this division. What consists of a "white" man? This is no small or unimportant matter, been commonly accepted that a person with the least infusion of Negro blood is not a white person, but a Negro. But by a recent decision of a Virginia court all this has been reversed. The law of Virginia which has been recently brought to light declares that any person with less than one-fourth Negro blood is a "white" person. The Macon Telegraph pays W. H. Councill, the Negro educator of Alabama, this deserved compliment: "We do not know a great deal about the Negro college at Normal, near Huntsville, Ala., but the utterances of W. H. Councill, its president, have repeatedly shown him to be one of the wisest of the Negro educators." Councill is working to build up his race and does not talk much. That's why the Telegraph doesn't hear much about his school.—Chattanooga Times. Rev. James W. Lee, pastor of Trinity Methodist Church, said: "The Negro is here among us, and what is more, he is going to stay here, and what is more still, we could not get along without his labor if we wanted to. Let us help him. Let us teach him. Let us preach to him and practice in our relation with him what we preach. The Negro asks for nothing at our hands but justice. He cherishes no opposition to a white man's government. He wants a white man's government, for he well knows that he could live in peace under no other. To see one of our modern stump orators crying, as if in the presence of an invading foe, for a 1 white man's government, when not a single Negro in the whole United States asks for any other or would have any other, is a performance from which a sense of humor should save him. What we should concern ourselves about is the Negro's moral and spiritual welfare. If by our treatment of him we can make of him a moral, upright, God-fearing man the race problem will be solved. There would be no race problem now if there were not a whole lot of mean Negroes scattered about in the same community with a whole lot of mean white folks. The question before good Negroes and good white people now is how to get rid of what is wrong and bad in both races. The only remedy is not a new one, it is the old and yet ever modern religion of our Lord Jesus Christ. This consists in loving God with all one's heart, and one's neighbor as one's self."—New York Evening Post. TO THE PUBLIC. In view of the fact that there will be all races and nations represented at the Christian Endeavor Convention to be held here in July, and since each race and nation is making preparations to entertain its own people, it is our duty to see that all arrangements be made to accommodate those of our race who attend in a manner befitting their positions and our circumstances. We feel or should feel race pride enough to allow nothing to prevent us from properly honoring those of our race that will be delegates. The Endeavor society has honored the race by making three of their trustees and there will possibly be a hundred and fifty or two hundred delegates of our race in attendance. It becomes our duty as citizens of this growing metropolis to prepare to do our share in the matter of entertainment. A committee consisting of Mr. A. G. Harrison, W. M. J. Wylie and W. C. Peoples was appointed to act in conjunction with the general committee of the society in the city, and a subcommittee was appointed to solicit accommodations among our people. This subcommittee is to report to Mr. Harrison and his committee and they will confer with the general committee. The subcommittee is composed of Mrs. William Marshal, Miss Aurelia Austin, Miss Mable Johnston, Mrs. L. B. Fields, Miss Alma Clark and Miss Sadie McIver. It is hoped and confidently expected that our citizens will respond liberally to the committee so that our people will be well cared for without any chance of being discriminated against. THE COMMITTEE. JOHNNY'S SUBTRACTION. "Now, in order to subtract," explained the teacher to the class in mathematics, "things have to be of the same denomination. For instance, we couldn't take three apples from four years, nor six horses from nine dogs." A hand went up in the back of the room. "Well, Johnny," said the unsuspecting teacher. "Please, madam," shouted the boy, "can't you take four quarts of milk from three cows?"—Philadelphia Inquirer. PARKER-BLACK NUPTIALS. At the home of the bride, Wednesday the 17th, on a beautiful April evening as the shadows gathered, and the day grew gray, Mr. Andrew R. Black of Seattle and Miss Candace M. Parker were wed. The sister of the bride, Mrs. Charles Parker, softly play- ed an entrancing and solemn wedding ac- eompaniment on the piano, and the words that linked the lives of this happy couple were impressively spoken by Dean Lock- wood of the All Saints’ Cathedral. Surrounded by the friends of her youth, amid the sweet perfume of flowers and the loving tokens of affection and esteem of the high contracting parties, this wedding will long be remembered as one of the most no- table in this city’s career. Miss Parker, a young lady of delightful personality, highly accomplished and great- ly admired, has lived in this community since her childhood days, and her family is one of the best known and most highly respected pioneer citizens in all of Eastern Washing- ton. Mr. Black is an attorney at law of Se- attle, where he enjoys the confidence and esteem of a host of friends. Many beautiful and costly gifts were pre- sented to the newly wedded couple, consist- ing of eut glass pieces, lamp, sliver, vases, pictures, china, books, ete., ete., ete. The invited guests were: Mrs. J. P. Ball, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Scott and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Ryan, Mr. and Mrs. Ben- jamin Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Ryan, Mr. and Mrs. Richmond Turner, Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Curtly, Mr. Charles Gatewood, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Parker, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Wilson, Mr, and Mrs. Harry C. Parker, Mr and Mrs. J.. M. Lee, Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Johnson, Mrs. R. B. Carle, Mrs. A. C. Hag- ans, Mrs. P. B. Barrow Sr., and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Mash, Mr. H. C. Ross, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Thomas, Rev. and Mrs. Isaac Barr, Mrs. Alice M. Harris, Miss Ann Craven, Mrs. Belle Seay and son, Mr. J. B. Hagans, Mr. G. L. Gregg, Mr. E. Stone, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Holmes, Mrs. Rhoda Parker, Master Leo Pierce, Master Walter Parker, Mr. J. F. Cragswell of Seattle, and Mrs. Jake Jones of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. After the splendid reception which follow- ed the nuptials, dancing and feasting and song and the happy congratulations and well wishes of friends followed. The happy cou- ple left on a belated train for their future home in Seattle. Pelted with rice and well nigh overwhelmed with ten thousand good wishes of all the people of Spokane for their continued prosperity, happiness and joy. E. H. HOLMES. LAX IN PUNISHING MURDERERS. In a recent issue of the New York Inde- pendent some startling figures were present- ed showing the failure of justice in criminal cases in the United States as compared with other countries. This country leads in the number of murders committed and has fewer convictions. In Germany the convictions equaled 95 per cent of the homicides, while in the United States only one and one-third was the proportion of convictions for every 100 murders. The Independent quotes from what it claims to be the most reliable stat- THE SEATTLE istics obtainable as to the proporwih™: - ders to population and gives these figures: United States, 129 per million inhabitants ; Germany, 3 per million; Canada, 5 per mil- lion. On the nationalities of homicides in the United States it gives the following table: Native white .....-..+++++> 42.94 per cent. Foreign born ..--.++++++++ .16.50 per cent, Negroes Ee pee toe ce BUA eet Cant, Chinese and Japs ...---.+++> 1.28 per cent. Civilized Indians ...--.-+++> 1.21 per cent. The population of the German empire is given as 60,000,000; that of the United States, 80,000,000. In 1906 there were 567 murders in Germany; the United States had a record of over 10,000 in the same year, The extreme difference between the United States and any European country is, per- haps, shown in quoting Germany’s figures. Italy led last year with 3606 homicides and 2805 convictions; Austria had 689 murders and 499 convictions; Great Britain, 579 mur- ders and 306 convictions; Spain, 1584 mur- ders and 1085 convictions. In all eases, however, the proportion of those who escape the penalty of their crimes js away below that of the United States. The question naturally arises, why does America punish only 1 1-3 per cent. of its murderers when Germany punishes more than 90 per cent of hers and other, Huro- pean nations from 50 to 80 per cent of theirs? Is: it because the American people are op- posed to adequate punishment for serious crime, or because of the defective machinery of our courts? No one ean doubt that if punishment were swiftly and surely admin- istered here as in Europe there would be a great diminution of evime.—Spokesman-Re- THURSDAY. That a second Suez canal will be con- structed by English capital is an assured fact. A blizzard is raging in Nebraska and South Dakota. The mercury is down to 30 degrees and snow is falling thick and fast. Deputy Sheriff! Charles Hicks shot and killed Billy Quinn at: Wallace, Idaho, be- cause Quinn called him a Missourian. A treaty of peace was signed last night between Nicaragua and Salvador. Many mass meetings were held last night jn different cities protesting against Presi- dent Roosevelt for his note touching the Moyer-Heyward cases. There will be other demonstrations in opposition to it in the near future. The head jailer at Odessa, Russia, was as- sassinated yesterday. The Bank for Savi e Bank for Savings.

Jones of North Yakima does not seem to be running like "wild fire," yet it is surely running and there is very little doubt in the mind of the Piemaker that, it will soon assume so definite shape that Mr. Jones himself will make bold to announce it. Lest he be mistaken in the sound he is making haste slowly in the matter, but keeping his ear to the ground, and it is just as well. The matter has been frequently spoken of in political circles while he was in Washington City, but at the Seattle banquet of a few days ago it was first mentioned in his presence and he simply smiled and looked wise. While Mr. Jones has promised Mr. Ankeny he will support him for a renomination, yet he is not responsible for what the people of their own volition do, hence while he will be supporting Ankeny for the nomination the people will be supporting him and every man must bow to the will of a majority of the people. * * * The indirect announcement of the senatorial candidacy of the Hon. Wesley L. Jones should cause the true Seattleite to stop and study for a minute. Senator Piles is pledged soul and body to the support of Senator Ankeny and can not honorably go back on him. That Ankeny is doomed to defeat has been evident for the past two years. To such an extent is he doomed that his own henchmen are beginning to grow luke warm in their support of him and are begging him to get out of the race that they might trot in a more available man, but to this he turns a deaf ear. Now if Seattle follows the advice of Senator Piles and supports Ankeny to the last ditch and he is defeated as he will be, then those electing Jones will have no kindly feeling for Seattle and her actions as gainst Jones, and will not bring her any aid when she wants to re-elect Senator Piles. Ankeny will have practically no assistance to give Piles, for, be it remembered, Ankeny has practically lost the control of his own county and with the direct primary in force and effect he has completely lost it. The smaller counties will get in behind Francis W. Cushman and in a contest between Cushman and Piles, Frank would beat Piles two to one, and that too if Piles should get every vote cast in King county. If Seattle and King county expect to hold the senatorship then they had better pull Piles away from Ankeny. * * * At the last state convention it was very evident that the trend of public sentiment ran to Jones and Cushman for the next United States senators from this state. Senator Piles is strong in King county among the business men, but weak among the rank and file, and so also in other counties of the state, while Cushman is weak among the politicians, but very popular with the rank and file. Jones also is ten to one more popular than Ankeny and if he succeeds Ankeny next year Cushman is almost certain of suc- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ceeding Piles four years from now. * * * "In my opinion Governor Mead is making votes very rapidly just now," came from a well known politician one day this week. "He has been doing the kind of mixing for the past few months that will count when the vote getting time comes. I am inclined to believe that the Post-Intelligencer as well as its owner are for the re-election of Mead and that it will go a long ways toward pulling him through a direct primary fight. Yes, I know the Times is against him and will do a great deal of barking at the moon about Mead and his administration, but whomever the Times is against he is certain of winning a Republican victory and that is another reason why I say that Governor Mead is in line to succeed himself in the gubernatorial chair." *** State Land Commissioner Ross seems to come to Seattle on official business whether it is pleasing to the editor of the evening Swillbarrel or not. Both he and Attorney General Atkinson were in the city this week and the Swillbarrel did not so much as mention the fact. Murky Matt's right hand must be forgetting its cunning and Blethonibus must have run out of black vomit. * * * Keep your eye on the city fight in this city, which will be waged next February, for if you do not you are apt to miss some pretty clever mixes. It is said that the antiwide open policy men are going to let go Riley in good shape on a candidate that will beat Mayor Moore at the polls. The Republicans will be divided, however, among themselves on whether they will nominate a wide open candidate or a closed town candidate and it matters not which side wins at the primary fight the other side will knife the winner at the polls. The Republicans are somewhat at sea for a candidate, as the politicians do not seem to be hankering for the honor. *** The first run of the direct primary law in this state passed by the late legislature had its trial trip last Tuesday in Spokane and at first blush it would seem to be a thing undesirable to the Republican party in view of the fact the Democrats got together and vote to nominate some Republican who is without party strength. It is said that Moore, the Republican nominee, is a very weak candidate, but he was nominated over Doust, a very strong Republican candidate by Democratic votes, Daggett, the Democratic nominee, not getting to exceed a few hundred votes, he being without opposition in his own party. Whether any of the above is actually true remains to be seen, but it looks as if Moore was already defeated by Daggett and the Democrats knew he would be if nominated, hence their reason for voting for him and forcing his nomination on the Republicans nolens volens.

The enormous value of this crop taxes the power of the human mind to appreciate. Not to mention the great consumption of raw cotton by our own factories, the sales of American cotton in foreign countries during the last nine months have amounted to $413,228,845; and the exports of this product in the month of March alone were $43, 392,647. The record of nearly a million and a half dollars a day, nearly six months after the harvest season, is an impressive thing. The prosecuting attorney of Skagit County will enter a civil suit against Grant Neal, excounty auditor, to collect $5,000 shortage that Deputy Bulmberg is said to have caused while acting for Mr. Neal.

JOHN E. CARROLL, de Py Complaint filed March 25, 1907. THE NATIONAL BANK OF COMMERCE PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Mr. W. C. Black of Tacoma was visiting in our city Monday. * * * Mr. Scott Harris of Everett spent one day in this city this week attending to matters pertaining to his business. * * * The young people of the Baptist church gave an old fashioned candy pulling at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Clark on Tuesday evening. A most enjoyable time was had. \* \* \* Mrs. Anna Reed presented her husband, Mr. J. E. B. Reed, with a ten pound daughter on Friday. Mother and daughter are doing nicely. \* \* \* Robert French, a young man who has lived in Seattle a number of years, died Monday night and was buried Wednesday from Butterworth's Undertaking Parlors. A large number of friends attended and many flowers covered the casket. * * * The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Turner will regret to learn of the death, at Tacoma, of their daughter Dorothy Tate. Miss Tate was well known in this city among the younger people. The funeral services were held Sunday at Tacoma and was attended by 10 or 12 members of the "Church of God" of which church Miss Tate was a member. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, the church giving a large cross of white carnations. Miss Tate was only 17 years old. \* \* \* Those who attended the Sunday Forum last Sunday were much benefitted by the many interesting and instructive facts that were expressed by the different speakers. The reception committee appointed to make arrangements to receive and house the delegates of our race that are to attend the Christian Endeavor convention reported progress in their work. They were instructed to enlarge their committee by the appointment of members from the different churches and societies in the city and to canvas the city for homes for the delegates. It was reported that the white people are already giving evidence of their intention to discriminate in the care of delegates even to the extent of refusing to entertain the Negro trustees at the same hotel with the other trustees. Race pride, self-respect and a conscientious religious sentiment compells us to each and all do our duty in entertaining those members of our race that attend the convention. The answers to the questions, from the question box, as given by Mrs. A. E. Grose, were very instructive, and showed much thought and a wide knowledge of those things that go to make up life. The recitation by Mr. F. F. Keeble and the song by Mr. J. T. Gayton were both well rendered. It was decided to have a grand rally on the first Sunday in May and close the Forum until September. Mr. J. A. Williams will answer the questions next Sunday and that with papers by Mr. W. C. Peoples and J. W. Gray will make a most interesting program. SEATTLE THEATRE. Murray and Mack and their big company of musical comedy fun-makers will be seen in a matinee today, and in "Around the Town" for the balance of the week. The show has scored THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN its usual big success here, and the theater is filled at every performance and by that class of universal theater-goers who "take in" everything that's good, and the best judges among them pronounce the show at the Seattle theater this week the best one Murray and Mack have ever brought here. "Hello Bill," a well known farce comedy, with musical numbers, comes to the Seattle theater next Sunday afternoon. It is a semi-military farce comedy scream. When it was here last it played at the Grand; before that it was seen at the Third Avenue, and scored a success in both houses. LYRIC THEATER. For next week, the last week of the Zinn stay at the Lyric theater, they will present "Venus" and "The Haymakers," the former a comic opera based on "Pygmalion and Galatea," and the latter a travesty on the rural drama. Both will serve to introduce the company, principals and chorus, in a manner that will serve as a reminder of the company's talents after they are gone. jotte Murter, demerant.
