FOR NEGRO EDUCATION,

in Interest of the Paul Ouinn College,

Rev. Mr.. johnson, OF Waco, Tex, Here
in Interest of the Paul Quinn College.
Rev. d. f. Johnson. d. D., of Waco, Tex,
preached yesterday at the African Methodist
Episcopal church, near the power-house, on Mad.
ison street. He represents the Paul Quinn col.
lege, an industrial institution at Waco, and he
is now making a tour of the cities OF the North
west to raise funds for the college At Tacoma
he secured contributions amounting to S34l,
and he thinks that he can get a much larger
amount here.
1.-THE college," he says, "is an effort on our
own part to do something for ourselves. We
believe that il the negro is educated and
especially taught trades, it will go long way
toward the solution of the Southern question
Education alone is not nearly SO good as an in
dustrial education, for We are poor and a trade
comes in very well.
"Religious education has done much to keep
down the rebelious spirit of the negro We
have half million African Methodists in
the south now and about twenty high schools,
and they have a great influence.
''The Paul Quinn college is in its tenth year
and it teaches the carpenter. blacksmith and
printing trades and farming, besides giving a
Christian education" Mr.. Johnson is out now
TO get $4,000 with which to build dormitory
and otherwise enlarge the facilities for accom-
modating pupils He will secure hall In the
central part of the city and give a lecture upon
the subject with an appeal for financial aid.

Mr.. Eliot said that If the Christian movement
was not to die out Unitarian churches must
stand out boldly for the worship of God and the
saving OF souls Unitarians had not changed
tneir business or moved their factory; they had
merely replaced some OF the old machinery with
new. Jesus had much in him, he said, which
wfs above the circumstances of His time and
which would have made Him wonderful In any
time. --'
The speaker took pride in the scholarly criti.
cism OF modern days, which was cleaning away
much that was false in the historic idea of
Jesus, but through all the dimness the figure of
Jesus stood out bold and clear. In conclusion

THE WATER FRONT.

Weather predictions received last night: Fair
but cloudy; cooler.
The ireboat snoqualmie is on the ways at the
Seattle Dry Dock Company's works aud repairs
on her are progressing rapidly.
The steamship City OF Puebla arrived in the
city last evening from Tacoma and Immediately
went to the coal bunkers to take on q load of
coal. She will leave tomorrow evening for San
Francisco.
The docks were lined with fishermen yester-
day afternoon. There were dirty-faced urchins
ragged little girls, old, gray haired men and
masculine women, all casting lines, as SOL
emn as owls and as unconcerned of the
wide open eyes of the curious visitors as stole
Indians.
The steamer Haytian Republic arrived In the
harbor yesterday morning at $50 o'clock from
San Francisco with freight and passengers. She
carried $50 tons of general merchandise for
points as follows: Port Angeles 81 tons; Port
Townsend, 81 tons; Seattle, $50 tons; Tacoma,
1873 tons. She carried twelve first-class passen-
gers and twenty-six steerage. The steamer left
last evening for Tacoma, from which place she
will go to Departure bay and load coal, leaving
Seattle Thursday evening at o'clock for San
Francisco
The American barks Germania and Theodore
arrived in the harbor yesterday. They were
both here month ago and are regularly en-
gagged in the, coal service between Seattle and
San Francisco. The Germania is at the Me-
chanics' mill wharf discharging ballast and the
Theodore is at Smiths cove The latter vessel
will take On cargo OF coal for California con-
sumers and the GermanIa will shortly load
Black Diamond coal from the Oregon Improve
ment Company's bunkers for the same destina-
ton.
The steamer Victorian, which is undergoing
repairs at Schwabacher's wharf, proves an at
traction to great crowds of the curious. Yester-
day the docks IN the immediate vicinity OF the
vessel were almost alive with people, coming
and going. The coferdam under the steamers
stern, kept dry by an immense steam pump
which throws a stream of water as big as a mans
body, and the workmen busy putting in the
pondrous screw, all proved, naturally, an object
of deep interest The ship will probably be
ready TO resume her regular run Tuesday.

PROGRESS OF CHRISTIANITY.
Discourse of the Rev. william g. Eliot
at the Unitarian Church.

At the Unitarian church Yesterday morning
Rev. William Il. Eliot delivered thoughtful
sermon upon the subject christianity Living
and Progressive His text was taken from
Acts vi:l4-"For we have heard Him say that
this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place
aud shau change the customs which Moses de-
livered unto us"
The speaker said In substance that the oppo-
nents TO the teachings of Jesus recognized only
that portion which was destructive and failed
20 appreciate the creative elements in His mis-.
sion; nor did they realize that they were cruci-
flying the sweetest aud strongest spiritual life
that the world had ever known. Every moral
movement was received by one class ready for
novelty. and another which feared everything
new. One class breaks with tradition. the other
looks with contempt upon innovation.

The Engagement OF keene.

Thomas w. Keene, at the age OF 50, is, with
the exception of Edwin Booth, the best known
and most popular tragedian in America So
much has been said and written about this emf
nent actor, who is TO occupy the boards at the
opera-house Wednesday, Thursday. Friday and
Saturday, that almost any praise uttered in his
behalf seems TO have the flavor of aga.
But, after all, it is often true shat old things
are best" and it is a pleasure TO recount the
good points of old and popular friends. Nature,
not satisfied with having given TO Mr.. Keene
dramatic genius, blessed him with manly ply
sique, a rich and powerful voice, pair of speak
ing eyes and a face of wonderful expression. In
deed, his face Is q most fortunate one,
and the exceeding mobility it possesses
makes IL easier for the actor to
give variety to his roles Naturally II is poetcal
in expression and emotional, though never
without lurking sense OF humor. In this fine
face there is an expression difficult TO describe,
but none the less existent, which makes great
earnestness OF thought and study. Keene is
great artist and always has a splendid company.

THE SUNDAY MOVEMENT.
Rev. Edward Thomson Speaks Against
Sabbath Breaking and saloons.


Yesterday morning Rev. Edward Thomson,
IL D., secretary for the Pacific coast of the
American sabbath Union, delivered discourse
in the First Methodist Protestant church on the
subject, wrong on the Throne" taking as his
text:
Pslam eiv:l6. "shall the throne of iniquity
have fellowship with thee?"
In the discussion of his theme he claimed that
history was LARGELY a story of the triumph Of
wrong and that the traditions brought down to
David's time showed that iniquity was generally
on the throne. He pointed out the defects In
the times of the Jewish kings and the inquity
upon the throne as illustrated in general his
tory. Money bought holy places and crime was
sheltered by sacred robes.
He alluded TO the power of money and saloons
IN elections and he advocated a union of good
men just as strong as that of the bad men.
"In this beautiful and enterpIising city," he
said, 1--WE must make IL fashionable TO do right
Law is of little value unless sustained by the
people. and strong public sentiment puts
backbone into the officers of the law. We
would arouse the good people and turn the
tide against lawlessness and restore TO all the
land quiet, thoughtful day OF rest"
