A RELIC OF THE PAST.
Relieving an Old Southern Lady who
Lost All Her Slaves.

Lost All Her slaves.
Commissioner Gasch hears complaints from
applicants for charity nearly every day, and it
keeps him busy Investigating tue worthiness of
the applicants. He always, when possible,
visits the family of the afflicted in person, and
SO far as within him lies does what he can to
alleviate immediate suffering. Yesterday he
paid the proprietor of the Palace hotel s. for
FIVE weeks room rent on account OF one of his
tenants, an aged. wrinkled and decrepit woman,
named Mrs. Elizabeth A. Parker.
The Palace hotel stands on Weller street, near
Commercial, and is patrenized by people OF re-
stricted purse On an upper floor lives Mrs.
Parker, southern lady who asks for honOra-
bic aid and not humble charity"
A few days ago Mrs. Boone, of the Ladies' Re-
lief Society, called on Mr.. Gasch and said that
the woman was in need of assistance, and Mr.
Gasch went down to investigate the case. He
was met at the head of the stairs by a bent, aged
woman, whose lace was mass OF brown
wrinkles She looked at least 100 years old, and
reminded one of Rider Haggard's famous. char
acter "She," Immediately after she inhaled the
flames of the f1re OF life for a second time.
sis this Mrs. Parker?" Mr.. Gasch asked.
"This is what is left of her." chirped the with
cred old woman facetiously.
She claims that Abraham Lincoln ruined her
by taking away all her slaves Mr.. Gasch
pointed out to her that the best thing he could
do was to send her to the poor farm, and mas
much as she had not long been q resident of the
city he did not feel like expanding the tax
payers money in another direction. Mrs.
Parker quite haughtily declined the invitation,
saying:
"Pm Southern lady, sir, and I can't go to
the poorhouse. II it comes to starving, I'll
close my eyes and say, the Lords will be done"
In short time the woman will be able to
travel, and Mr.. Gasch will send her to her peo-
pie who live in Idaho

A MAN FROM MAINE.
he Speaks of Secretary B1aine-The Con-
vention of 1915.

vention of 1915.
HON. ID. V. B. Chase, capitalist from Angus
"a, Me-, is staying at the Occidental hotel This,
his first trip to the Northwest, is partly for
business and partly for pleasure. He
Is president of the kennebec Savings
bank and director of the Augusta National
bank. Some years ago he was prominent in
Maine politics, having been 8 member of the
lower branch OF the legislature and at another
time member of the governors executive
council The latter body, which consists of
seven men, is part of the state government
FOUND in Maine, but not in Washington.
Mr.. Chase, who comes from the home of
Blaine, knew the secretary OF state before the
latter ever went TO congress. "Mr. Blaine"
said he, "has the remarkable faculty of making
friends of all who know him. A man will talk
with Mr.. Blaine for while and then come away
thinking that Blaine likes him just little bit
better than he likes anyone else, and that Blaine
would do anything possible for him.
"Since Mr.. Blaine has buried the two chill
dren who have recently died, Walker and the
daughter, In Washington City, there is a gen.
eral feeling that that place and not Augusta is
really his home. Blaine has now very little to
call him back to Maine"
In speaking of the convention of 1876 at Gin
cinnati, when Hayes, dark horse, was nomin-
ated for president, Mr.. Chase said: 81 was much
surprised when one of the delegates came to me
before he started for that convention and de-
cared that Hayes was the only man they feared.
Though Hayes had been spoken of but little in
comparison with Conkling, Cameron and half a
dozen others, yet this delegate told me that
Hayes was the only one who had excited no ami
mosities, and upon whom all would unite in
case the contest proved bitter one. The result
was as he predicted. or rather feared "

Acquitted-Court News-BIottsr.

The case OF the Northern Pacific Il Puget
Bound Shore Railway Company in relation TO
sppropriating certain land on the tide fats
known as ''the broad gauge strip came up be-
fore Judge Osborn. After hearing the testimony
of l. A. Nadeau, the was continued until
October 20.
A case bearing upon the same strip OF land
came before Judge Lchtenberg. 1t is the land
upon which the Transfer company's warehouses
stand and is 100 feet long by 200 wide. TheNorth
ern Pacific d Puget Sound Shore railway applied
for its condemnation several weeks ago and
the Columbia & Puget Sound railway resisted,
claiming ownership through deeds secured from
the upland owners. The Northern Pacific road
secured a lease OF the property from the Colum-
bia & Puget Sound road, and released it to the
Transfer company, which put up buildings
upon IL. Now the Columbia & Puget Sound
road, owned by the Oregon Improvement Com
pany. wants to get possession TO put up terminal
buildings of its own. The case involves the
question az to whether or not tide lands can be
condemned outside of the harbor line.

Though many rugs have been sold the collec-

Is sold its place in the exhibition is immedi-
ately filled by another beautiful one from the
apparently inexhaustible supply in the bales
which have arrived during the last two days.

wonderful collection is Kurdistan nine feet by
twelve, which Mr. Costikyan values at about
*SOO. 1t is marvellous piece of workmanship,

OPPORTUNITY

Master OF human destinies am I!
Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait
Cities and fields 1 walk; penetrate
Deserts and seas remote, and passing by
Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late
knock unbidden once at every gate.
Ii sleeping, wake; if feasting, rise before
turn away. 1t is the hour of fate,
And they who follow me reach every state
Mortals desire, and conquer every foe
Save death But those who doubt or hesitate
Condemned to failure, penury aud woe,
Seek me in vain, and uselessly implore
i answer not, and return no morei
But fail We not in this respect,
Seize every opportunity to travel
Over the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul railway.

THE WRONG CHARGE.
Carpenter Breeze Acquitted of Forciblo
Entry.

George Breeze, the carpenter who locked up
the Renton schoolhouse last Wednesday be-
cause he could not collect money from the dis
trict due him for services as foreman, was
acquitted yesterday by Justice Won Tobel from
a criminal charge. The action was brought by
School Director Thorn, of Renton precinct.
The justice held that though the defendant
did wrong and should have been punished still
he could not be prosecuted for "unlawful
forcible entry and detainer." He held that
there was no forcible entry shown in the evil
dence and that according to the law he could
not be tried for such offense; that he should
have been prosecuted for trespass.
