Why She Was Ah.enA

II VIII be remembered that Miss Florence st.
john did not appear on the stage at the perform
ance CT Faust Up to Date" last Saturday mat
inee, at The night performance, nor on Sunday
evening. but the cause for default Is not gener.
ally known. Miss Wilcox, who played the vvan-
diere, the ingenue part In the piece, was seized
with typhoid pneumonia on Saturday last and
had 10 be conveyed TO ST. Marys Hospital,
where Miss Capel, another member OF the COM
p any. accompanied the poor girl for companion
ship In strange situation. On Saturday
at midnight, the doctor aud attendants became
alarmed at Miss Wcox's condition and mes
sage was sent TO Miss ST. Johu, who immedi-
ately repaired to The bedside of The sufferer, ana
remained not only TIL the dangerous crisis was
passed, but till daylight on Sunday morning.
After returning TO her hotel and taking some
hours' repOse she attempted to rise, but found
herself so Ill that physician had 10 be sent for,
whose judgment was that she must remain in
bed not only that day but for many days 10 come.
II cannot think my case Is so desperate as you
sate," replied Miss ST. John, but / VIII
give myself q rest for to-day at least" She did
and so far recovered that on Monday evening
she appeared at the Baldwin In her usual health
and spirits aud was greeted by a large audience.
The lady visits The patient every day az ST.
Mary's. Yesterday she had an "afterno0n' with
the sisters and sang some of her choicest num-
bers, and they begged of her that size might
often favor them with such delightful treat.
God bless the women, anyway" said the party
who mentioned this Incident; last at the cross
and first al Tue Sepulcher."

rnE TIDE LANDS COMMISSION.

Some Of the State newspapers hsve criti-
cised the failure of Governor Ferry to APP
point Tide Lands Commissioners. and have
attributed il variously to dilatoriness on
his part. to the wrangling Of wire-pullers
over the selection Of men and to possible
political considerations.
1t is immaterial what collateral influences
may be exercising in any direction. The
only reason the Governor needs to give for
his omission Is that there are no tide lands
commissionerships TO fill. The tide lands
bill was passed by very slight majority.
and no attempt was made to pass the
emergency clause. Lacking that provision.
the law does not 70 into operation until
June 2sth. and until that time the Office in
question will not be in existence.
It has sometimes been the practice to
appoint new incumbents to Office and so
anticipate a vacancy ordained by law, but
this could not De done in case where the
law under which the appointment is to be
made has not come into full being.
The utmost care must be taken not to
place in jeopardy the validity of any pro-
ceeding under bill fraught with such i'm
portant consequences, and impartial judg-
ment will not condemn the governor
caution.

DEVELOPMENT or oUR IKoN RE-
SOURCES.

E II IL exceedingly gratifying TO the Posi-
IsTEIIioxscEk that il is able to announce
Ibis morning that extensive works tor the
REDUCTION OF iron ore and the manufacture
II steel are TO be erected in King county
without DELAY. The enterprise is in the
hands Of men OF unqnestioned financial
strength. and the mere mention OF the
names Of those connected with it Is guar
ansee Of the reality ~ we'll ~ Of the magni-
tuds Of the undertaking.
The psople Of Washington, without
reference to the location In which they tive,
have every reason to be pleased at the cree.
lion Of these works The enormous rich.
ness Of the mineral resources Of Washing
ton has long been known. and IL has been
apparent that the development OF those
resources would Of itself make Washington
. wealthy and prosperous state. The rich
iron deposits OF the Cascade mountains
have especially bean regarded - . source
Of wealth. The acknowledgements of these
resources has bsen source Of regret to the
people Of Washington. for they have
rsaiassd that that alone YES necessary 10
induce The csntsring In this commonwealth
of manufacturing enterprise upon large
scale.
The immediate development OF our iron
resources b now certainty. The bene-
Ats which viii naturally follow upon that
development may b expected with entire
confidence. The wealth which has been
dormant in our mountains is about to be-
como active. and Washington, IL may con-
ndcntly be expected, Is aboat to take the
position to which IL IL entitled as . manu-
featuring commonwealth. This consum-
nation Of continued and well directed
efforts Il due In . large measure to Mr..
Peter Kirk. Since coming to Washington
moro than three years ago. Mr.. Kirk has
labored early and late 10 bring about the
development Of our iron resources. With
absolute faith and 10y atty he has urged the
greatness Of our mineral wealth upon the
capitalists OF two continents. Delay did
not discourage nor defeat dishearten him.
He has been Is persistent as he has been
enthusiastic in his efforts, and the people
Of Washington cannot fail to rejoice with
him in this. his hour OF triumph.
OF course the development OF this grea,
industry will be beneficial in an especial
degree TO King county and to Seattle. II
will attract immigration and will make the
growth OF both city and county even more
rapid and substantial than Il has been In
the recent past The investment OF so
large an amount o! capital, the establish.
ment OF permanent industry of such mag
nisuds and the activity in railroad building
which viii follow Immediately, will alto
gether be beneficial in the highest degree
and viii hasten seattle's progress on the
road 10 greatness.
However. this triumph is not local nor
sectional one The benefit will accrue 20
the entire state, and the people OF the en-
tire state can share in the qualification
which Is inserarsble from the knowledge
that the mineral resources OF Washington
are about to be developed on scale COM

SEATTLE. WASH, May Is, 1890.
To THE EDITOR: The statement made By ex-
Judge J. B. Lewis. in his speech before the
Chamber of Commerce. Is entirely erroneous
and misleading wherein he states that gas is
furnished to the people Of Philadelphia at so
cents per 1000 cubic feet The facts are these:
Philadelphia. with . population OF l.ooo.oU0.
and owning their own gas plant aud being in
close vicinity to the best gas Goals in the United
States light 5000 street gas lamps free. They
The individual gas consumers pay $50 per 1000
cubic feet.
Seattle. with population OF say 1000. pays
