through crime and idleaess. The annual fire
loss In the United States s 800 eooG00. OF this,
40 per cent. is from wiiful desiructioneof prop
erty, destruction which the church Is striving
to lessen. There is an idea that all given 70 the
church il given to charity. Such, however, Is
no. the case. To help the church is TO advance
the business interests OF the whole place, and
to make business success surer and quicker.
Some music followed and then Mr.. Charles
Shepard a recent arrival in Seattle spoke for
"The New Conner" Having spent many hours
in the beautiful st. Paups church in Milwaukee
be was somewhat surprised and disappointed to
find 81. Marks SO plain and unadorned. Yet
the fact was that the spirit and not the building
made the temple. Mr.. Shepard was astonished
TO find in the church so many enthusiastic
young men. In no place had the church 8
greater opportunity than in Seattle; in no city
was there a chance for doing more good, giving
the community as q whole and helping the in
dividuals
Mr. Joshua NJ Wrestling spoke of "womsn's
Work in the Church" Though not a woman il
present al this dinner" said Mr.. Wrestling, "yet
this toast is most appropriate for this occasion:
for without the women there would be very
little work done IN the church. From the earliest
period in history woman has lived and adorned
the world"
SIR. Wrestling paid a glowing tribute to
women In general, and defended Eve in partic-
ular from the charge that she alone was to
blame for all the sin and woe that had come
upon the human race. "Adam was equally 70
blame" Mr.. Wrestling declared. land, indeed,
he the stronger, should have been better
able than she TO resist temptation. And II
woman was the first 70 fail, 1t should also be
remembered that she was the first to be at the
sepuIchre." As examples OF great and noble
women Mr.. Wrestling took Poeikah, Cornelia,
the mother OF the Gracehi, and Joan of Arc.

FoURTH-CLAss PosTMAsTERs.
They Want Better Pay-The Sound Con-
yention q Failure.

The convention of fourth-class postmasters of
Western Washington, called 10 meet at Ballard
yesterday TO elect delegate 10 the national con-
vention of fourth-elass postmasters, was not en-
tirely successful, owing TO the small number of
county delegates present John T. Blackburn,
OF Vashon, and J. K. O Donnell, OF Elma, Che
halls county, were the only delegates present,
Four other postmasters were present, however:
William Crane, OF Houghton, T. c. Rslston, of
Fremont, o. q. Thompson, OF Ballard, and Gerh
Erickson, of Bothell.
After some discussion, IL was decided 10 give
up the proposal 10 send a delegate 20 tho
national convention, but 20 urge upon the
Washington delegation in congress the desired
change
The fourth-class postmasters are interested In
the passage of bill introduced by CruugresS-
man Kennedy, of Ohio, providing for material
increase ia their compensation for handling the
mails. They want the first 500 collected from
the sale OF stamps each quarter instead OF the
first So, as a. present, and they want 10 be
allowed something for fuel lights and rent
Agitation of the subject has gained those con-
cessions Tor the postmasters Of the third elass,
and the fourth-clss pos,msslors fhink that
they. too, can secure them by concerted action.

Mrs. story's soiree Musicale.

Mrs. Marie 5. Story gave a soiree musicale last
night at the Seattle opera-house In the presence
of large and appreciative audience. Mrs.
Story sang "Una Voce POGO Fa." by Rossini,
and was encored. Mr. G. X. Ackroyd sang the
"Yeoman's Wedding Song" Mrs. Blanche Kes-
Ter Grambs rendered "Queen of sheba," by
Gounod, and was encored. Miss Potvin gave
Beethoven's moonlight Sonata" with fine
effect. Miss Margaret Mckinney and Mrs.
Grambs sang a duo from robin Hood" Mrs.
Story followed with "Beautys Eyes, violin
obligato by DR.. N. White friedrich. Miss Potvin
again played and Miss Mckinney sang sweetiy
Dearest Mother, Be Not Angry" and Mrs.
Story closed the concert with two pretty solos.
Professor w. 4. Lucy did much of the accom-
panying in satisfactory manner. The ladies

dered by chorus of 100 with orchestra and
organ. Those VINO have been unable to study
this branch of musical ethics can make a most
instructive and enjoyable beginning by being
present The oratoIio is not one of vast complex
contrapuntal writing. 1t is hardly ideal-in
fact II is a narrative; but narrative penned by
genius, who made use OF the heaven-sent gilt
OF music TO depict the mystery OF existence
the creation. Extracts such as "With Verdure
Clad aud "Ihe Heavens Telling" are known 10
thousands, but they lose their drift unless they
are heard in the oratorio a whole. The whole
work is so realistic that ii gives one. In magma
nation perhaps, no ignoble idea OF the marvel
GUS theme.
The sale of seats 30 far is most gratifying, and
there is little doubt but that there will be
large attendance The expense of producing a
work like "Ihe Creation or any oratoro for
that matter, is vast and astonishing TO any one
who has not given the matter consideration. 1t
Is hoped that this initial effort at oratorio in
this section will prove what 1t promises to be, q
signal success

.Janau In Seattle.

Owing to the large number of cases to be I'M
packed and the fragileness of the contents, Mr.
Ando will be unable to open his new store at Sl3
Second street before O'Clock this evening, and
at that hour he will be in the position to display
one OF the most unique collections OF silks and
curios not only seen in this city but in this
country.
Special care has been taken In the selection
of goods, so that he believes that he has goods
that will satisfy all customers.
The salesladies will be attired In Japanese
costume, and this, in connection with the ia
panese parlor, which Is constructed on a much
larger scale than that built in his old store will
make visitors think they have taken a trip to
the beautiful land OF Japan.
As before stated, this is considered entirely
an opening show, and visitors are not at all ex-
pected to make purchases unless so DESTROYS.
Five hundred small lanterns will be given
away in commemoration of the opening day.
Don't forget the address-sI3 Second street, Ep-

he aefs Judgment Against Bank for
Conversion of Pronertx.

Gee Lee. prominent Chinaman. of this city,
was given judgment yesterday by a Jury In
Judge Humes' court for sil397 against the Mer-
chants National bank. II appeared from the
evidence that Gee Lee wished to purchase two
drafts for $500 and 600 respectively, on Hong
Kong, China, one Chinese dollar being rated as
Is scents OF United States money. In part pay
ment he rendered a certificate of deposit, which
was estimated at $1,l25. The bank afterward
Claimed that there was an error In comouting
the amount OF the certificate, and that it only
amounted to s1,025. They therefore claimed
that Gee Lee had gotten the better of them by
800, and refused to deliver the Hongkong draft
for $500 until Ii was paid. The suit resulted in
the Chinaman recovering the amount of the
draft in American currency, with interest, in all
amounting to $4ISq7.
