One of the ShAridans.

N. Y. Advertiser: A man walking up
Third avenue yesterday had a face that
bore singular resemblance to that of the
late General Phil Sheridan. ''That, said a
passer-by, "is Michael Sheridan who comes
from Comfy Cayan, ireland, and is a
fighter, too. He lives on Hudson avenue,
Brooklyn, and worked for butcher in the
neighborhood until recently. The en-
ployer remarked lately that there was no
respectable woman in the neighborhood,
and as Sheridan's wife was geographically
included in the censure, he wiped up the
sidewalk with the butcher He was dis
charged, Of course. Heis taller than was
his famous cousin, but in other respects is
very like him, indeed"

mOSSBACKS.

The Lewis county court house at Cheha-
lis, and the miserable jail at that place are
good enough-for mossbaeks. Judge Hun
ter of the superior court called attention to
the fact that the courthouse was unfit for
the proper holding of court and unsafe
for the records, ana the grand jury which
appeared to be free from Mossbackism,
denounced both the courthouse and Jail as
utterly inadequate for the purpose, the
records being in danger of destruction by
fire at any time. The jail is totally unfit
for occupancy. Lewis county is rich and
progressive, but is afflicted with county
commissioners, who think that the old
courthouse and jail is good enough. Judge
Hunter offered to donate the proportion of
his salary received from that county to the
erection of a suitable building to hold
court in, the old one being much worse
than either those of Pacific and Wahkia-
KUN counties The only thanks the Judge
received for endeaYoring to shame the
oldest county in the state into erecting a
new courthouse, was to be called crank
by the Mossbacks of the county. When
Governor Shepherd commenced his work
Of making Washington City the grandest
in the country, he met with 50 much oppo-
sition from rich old mossbacks that he con
cluded a funeral or two day of that ele-
ment in the community would help the
progress Of improvements wonderfully,
but they didn't die then. They lived and
worried him like gad flies worry a horse
and their descendants are now enjoying
the fruits Of great wealth his genius
garnered for them, by the enhancement of
the values of their property.

ROBERT ]. WALKER, nephew of Secre-
tary Of State James g. Blaine, who leaped
from window Of the Fanny Paddock hos
pital in Tacoma and killed himself, while
laboring with delirium tremens, would
perhaps be living today if he had been
brought to Olympia to try the bichloride
of gold treatment. If we mistake not he
belongs to the old West Virginia family
Of Walkers and is brother to John Bris-
ben Walker, editor and proprietor of the
Cosmopolitan Magazine. His father and
another brother are said to be citizens Of
Montana at present. The name of the
unfortunate man is the same as President
Polk's secretary OF the treasury, whose de-
scendants live in Washington City.

A DISPATCH from Seattle says the con
tract for the construction of the Great
Northern railroad from Everett, on the
Sound, at the mouth of the Snohomish
river to Stevens pass, III the Cascades, has
been let. The road is to be finished by the
end of next year, which probably means
the middle Of 1898. Then the boring Of a
tunnel nearly two miles long will consume
a year or more longer, so that the entire
new trans-continenta lire will perhaps be
finished from stem to stern about 1895.
The work, exclusive of the tunnel, will give
employment to 5000 men, and involve an
expenditure of million and half dol
lars. The dispatch says that Everett Will
be the Sound terminus of the Great North
ern. The road will, of course, be contin-
ued to Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, on
the south, and Anacortes, Bellingham
Bay and British Columbia, on the north
1t is to be hoped that this news is final.
We are getting pretty tired Of reading
about the ''Sound terminus" and the pass
through the Cascades of Jim Hills rail

ALL the newspapers Of the country speak
in the highest praise Of the dead comedian
Florence. It appears that his unfailing
humor did not desert him even in the face
Of death. The Philadelphia Record says !:
"On Tuesday, when the doctors brought in
the large tank charged with the oxygen,
which they were to pump into the sick
mans lungs, he gazed at the oxygen tank,
resembling a big fre-extinguisher, with his
deep blue eyes, in which his illness had not
yet mastered the mirthful light. For
Heavens sake, Jim,' whispered he, lean
ing over to- Commodore Tooker, "haye
got to take that"
But when told he would probably die, he
had previously said; "WeH, I am not
afraid to die"

Entertainment.

Last Saturday night, the two So
cietles of ST. James Hall gave a
most successful recital. More than
enough to buy one cabinet wac
realized and they intend shortly to
repeat this effort and purchase two
cabinets 50 their specimens can be
properly classified.
The program Saturday night was
well rendered and consisted of the
following: A chorus, ''Merrlly" by
twelve young ladies, who in the
beautiful school uniform looked as
well as sung their best. "How
Jimmy took care of the Baby" was
we'll reclted by Master Drury Dur
rett, while Master Austin Statlel's
medley on the French Harp, was
highly appreciated by the audience.
In the song, "OnlY a Blue Bell"
the sweet voice of Miss Kittie New
bern sounded unusually well. Mas
ter Oscar Coates humorous selec-
ton on "Classic Music" caused
ripple of merriment. Miss Julia
Bills music was brilliantly performs
ed for so youLg musician. Two
interesting papers, Sketches of
Musicians were read by Misses
Louise Fentress and Bessie Miller.
Miss Clara Bills played with much
taste and skill two studies from
Heller. A lively little chorus was
next sung and acted by the wee
little ones, who enjoyed their own
performance as much as did their
audience. Too much praise cannot
be bestowed on Miss Mary Ingram,
whose recitation reflected great cred
it on her teacher. Miss SaIlie Nc

much expression. Miss Bessie Tate's
