Aifonso,s Black Pearl of neat,


Amongst the presents which Don AL
fonso gave to his first wife, Donna Mer-
cedes, there was a magnificent ring, or
namented with a large black pearl en-
circled with diamonds. The queen wore
it until the day of her death. The Young
king, after the loss of his first wife, pre-
sented the ring to his sister, the Infanta
Pillar, who also wore it until she died.
The superstitious may easily have sus-
pected, in such land as Spain, that the
ring itself was not wholly unconnected
with the rapidly successive deaths of the
two beautiful young ladies who had worn
it. The king would not give it to a third
lady, but he wore it himself until he also
died.
Queen Christina, who drew the ring
from off the finger of the dead monarch,
debated for while whether she world
herself wear it in memory of him, or
would place it among the historic family
jewels. She decided to take the latter
course. \ satirical fellow-countrvman
of Cervantes, in the Spanish court, IS re-
ported to have asked: why did not her
majesty send that ring 10 Don Carlos"
To which another courtier replied. The
Pretender would have marched straight
to the pawnbroker's with it: and SO if
would have failed to produce the result
SO desired for Spain. Tho Voltaire.

work.

Seattle PFCsxI
The spirit of riot seems to be
abroad in the air. Within the space
of four months the cyclone of civil
disturbance has visited nearly all
parts of the world Beginning with
The trouble In our own city of last
February. and almost simultaneously
in the great city Of London, across
the ocean, the Uproar has been going
on almost continuously. In success
slve order came the Communist out
break in Belgium, the labor strikes in
Texas and Missouri with the bloody
riots at Fort Worth and East St
Louis, another great riot in New
York, the eight hoar.riots in Chicago
and Milwaukee, and now last, but
not least, but most surprising OF all,
the great riots among the staid old
Presbyterlans in the north of ofIreland.
This last Is an after clap following
the Home Rule agitation. The sur
prlslng part of it is that this time
the turbulent Catholic Irish-tbose
bad citizens-as Mr.. Frank Pixlev
keeps iterating in his ArgOnam. ap-
pear IN the role of the prosecuted in
stead of the prosecutors. The moral
evidently Is that the best OF men NAV
sometimes stay, and goes 10 prove
that the eighteen on whom the
tower of Sloan fell" were perhaps
not the chief sinners above all Others

In connection with the dispatch. il
Is stated that John Morley, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, arrived in
Dublin to investigate the history
aud causes of the Belfast riots" For
the history he will have to go back
over seven hundred years when the
Norman fseeEooters from over the
sea, under their King, Henry Ii, by
force of arms wronafuiIy took posses
sion of the fairest portion OF the isl
and and drove the Irish people to
herd like pigs in a sty in the novels
of Connaught. They were made rent
payers on their own soil. and the
wrongful possession taken by Henr
was maintained 10y his successor

The Knights of Laborhaye adopted
a resolution asking congress to
declare the day of the presidential

Sensible Change of Base.

We cannot help commencing the
sensible course of the Seattle Post
agement, as compared WITH is stteFs
ances up to few months ago. Fol
instance, in speaking of the railroad
question, it says:
There is good prospect that the
differences existing between the n
p. r. r. and Seattle may be adjusted
ere long. A citizen of this place ha.
Just received letter from a promi
nent official of that cempany from
which the s-!iowitIss IS an extract
.sP@lhaps a friendly solution of oul
difficulties will be arrived at in the
near future, and shall make efforts
to that end on my next visit to the
coast, which will be in July or August
next" The people of Seattle will
meet any effort to effect this object
half way. They are now convinced
that the Cascade branch will be built
as soon as possible. The delay in
building this has been one of the
most serious grievances of which they
complained. There Is now little
doubt about its early completion.
Another cause of loud and Just com
plant is the discrimination against
Seattle in the operation of the Shore
Line road on the present outrageous
schedule. Seattle gives the \. p Il.
X. large amount of business and is
entitled to fair treatment from that
company. When it gets such treat
ment, the fight which has been waged
upon that company will be at an end
so far as the business men of Seattle
are concerned. 1t is to the mutual
interest of the railroad company and
Seattle to be on amicable terms. AS
soon as the Cascade branch is com
pleted Seattle will have direct con
nection with 1t by building only six
- miles more of road, 1t is to our in
terest to have favorable freight and
passenger schedule which that com
pany can arrange if it chooses. On
the other hand, if that company
should continue to discriminate
against this place, the Canadian Pa
cltic will be benefited, as all, or near
ly all, of the frieghts and passengers
of Seattle and points to the north
ward will so over that roa ]. As bust
ness men the officers OF the y. z. r..
: II. must realize this fact. The point
has been reached where business and
business ideas should control. The
y. Z. X. II. has only to act fairly as a
common carrier and keep It's hands
off of Territorial politics anl the war
against 1t, so far as this Territory *
concerned. will stop.
That IS admitting a!l that the
ARGUS ever claimed rela i've to the
Cascade branch road-all that was
claimed by the republican party upon
this subject; while at the same time
1t makes a reasonable demand upon
the railroad company for fair treat
ment and freedom from meddljDq
with Territorial politics. Seattle,
under unwise leadership, inaugural
ed foolish and selfish fight against
tho Northern Pacific. as against the
Cascade branch railroad; the reoub-
llcan party pronounced il favor Of an
extension of time On the land grant
applying TO that road, believing that
1t could not be built within reason

Every Boy Should Have = Trade.

In this country every boy, rich or
poor, is the better off for trade. The
lad favored by fortune does not require
mechanical knowledge to earn his living
of course; but an industrial training NAV
develop in him a genius for invention
that would benefit the whole race; and a
trade in the hands of poor boy is a sure
means of gaining living. If all classes
are to be reached, therefore, it is hard to
see how this can be done without an in

school.-New York Tribune.

the ARGUS published in last nights
issue, the republican territorial com
mittee apportioDsd two hundred and

EDITOR ARGUs:-Some little excite
ment was raised here last week by
the raiding of the store of o. Dresser.
Suspicious rest on strange boats that
have hoyered around of late. Tele-
graphic connection with the main
land is wanted to help capture these
thieving rovers.
Coupeville bids fair to become Il
city of residences; six new houses are
now under construction for that pur-
pose. A female seminary is also
talked, liberal subscriptions having
beeu offered, to be followed by an
endowment Trem the Congregations
Ists' denomination. The purchase of
Doctor Highwarden's unfinished san.
itarium fer use until more extensive
buildings can be made is in contem
platiOn. The pleasing feature OF this
is that the Island attracts by its
apparent advantages, without any
help from bo1ms. People in crossing
this Island from Coupevllle to Ebey's
Landing often express their desire to
live here by inquiring what q few
acres Of land can be bought for
Lying at the mouth and dividing the
waters of this great inland sea, as
this Island does, there is no wonder
people are attracted to its shores.
As health resort there is no better
place, and when the half dozen cont
mental railroads pointing this way
have reached the Scund waters to vie
for the overland trade. no better
place for great terminal city for
taem all could be selected. In alb
sence of any outside help a residence
city will soon extend from Coupe
vile to Ebey's Landing, where Will
reside the families of persons doing
business on all portions OF the Sound.
The next effort after the seminary is
in operation should be for telegraph
ic connection with Port TownseIs.
and no doubt the citizens of that place
will join with Us in that enterprise.
