Queen Angeline IL q well known figure
on the streets OF Seattle She IS typical
representative OF her race. and aifhougn
between 50 and 80 years Of age. is ssili
lively enough to wax around over the niiis
OF Seattle. which she has known so wen
for half . century or more. she - short
OF stature. not being over four feet and
half high. ard her round shoulders and
bent form make her seem several inches
shorter than she really is. She goes hare
footed and bareheaied the year round, and
her clothes consist OF ifi-itting and III
looking garments. Oyer her shoulders she
wears . big shawl. and over her back IS
often hung rude basket. into which she
throws such trinkets rs she is given by her
friends around the city. Her face Is brown
and swarthy. and shows more than
the average intelligence OF the siwash-
Many times she has been photographed,
and even painters have succeeded IN get
ting good likenesses OF her. which are on
exhibition in several stores in the city. She
speaks English fairly well and can be uri-
derstood by one not familiar with Chinook
jargon.
Chief Seattle, Queen Angeline's father.
was many years ago conspicuous and
well known chief. Unlike the chiefs OF the
Puyailup. Duwamish and kllkaiat tribes.
he Was friendly to the whites and hal
many friends among the early pioneers OF
Washington. He first came TO Seattle with
Dr. Maynard early in the SOS and COM
menced to fish. He brought with him his
family which then consisted of his "klootch-
man." his daughter Angelina and his two
sons, known by the English names OF
George and Jim. All of them are long since
dead and Queen Angelina alone survives to
represent her royal family. twas in about
1853 that DR.. Maynard named the city for
the old chief and only . lew of the early
settlers are now living who were then In
the city.
Ex-Mayor Henry L. Yesler says that she

Mr.. Yesler last evening, 20 Angeline

She was then fairly good looking Siwash.
She has lived around here ever since. ex-

went to Post Madison"
Seattle was always q friend Of the
whites" continued Mr.. Yesier. ''and he
was always held in high esteem. He orig
inaliy came from up the Sound in the VI
cinity Of Olympia. l knew his two sons,
George and jim, and have known Queen
Angeline long time. She never married

Thirty years ago she did washing for some
Of the white settlers here. and she still goes
around calling on her Old friends"
DO you think she would agree to 60

NO, I DON'T" said Mr.. Yesier. "She

1t has been estimated that twill require
q purse of 5000 TO send Queen Angelina
and an escort around the world. Her con-
sen, has not yet been secured. but the pro-
iectors OF The movement are confident that
will be easy to get. Probably day or two
will determine the feasibility OF the scheme.
George Francis Train VII be advised at
once of the companion which Seattle is
generously providing for bin. ana he viii
