the hold the wind and sea would have on such
decks. With all due allowance, one cannot but
come to the conclusion that the whale would
only have to make one or two dives under such
circumstances before she would go and look for
Jonah, leaving her passengers and decks wait
ing his return to blow them up on dry land. No
man can find figures enough to figure out
strength necessary to hold such decks when the
vessel or craft is pitching and tossing in heavy

THE WAGE WORKERS.
Longshoremen Are Busy Load
ing Wheat and Coal.
VERY FEW DEcKHANDs IDLE.
trouble With the wasco Likely to Be
settled soon-ship Carpenters
Out OF Work.

Longshoremen have been fortunate the
past two weeks in having been kept quite
pusy. but It was very dull in that line of
work all winter. The loading of wheat
snip, the coaling of the war vessels and
the d1scharging of several vessels bring
ing cargoes from San Francisco has fur
nlshed them large amount of work the
past ten days to two weeks.
Longshoremen say they are interested
IN seeing the coal shipping done by steam-
ers instead of sailing vessels, because the
former carry very few sailors and long
shoremen are always employed to load
them, whereas the sailing vessels were
usually trimmed by the seamen on board.
There are now about $50 men in the city
who follow this class of work for living.
One thing of which the members of the
Longshoremen's Union feel especially
proud is the baseball team they have Or
ganized, which has never been van
pushed. The club has played two match
games so far this season-one with South
Seattle Clippers and one with Vail &
Hubbell's team-the longshoremen COM
ing out victorious in both.
Deckhands find the chance for employ
ment unusually good. Said member of
VIC
We always expect to have about forty or fifty
men on shore. Now we have only thirty. Sew
eral OF our members have gone out on fishing
and sealing vessels. We have no trouble on any
OF the boats except the Wasco, and we expect to
be able to adjust that with her new owners as
soon as the suit pending against her is settled
and she is relieved from her past financial
troubles. Some OF tho other boats do not EN-.
ploy union men, but they pay the union scale of
eOy VIC haUa pf eypfa nuah IN
kick as where a boat attempts to cut wages.
Everybody acquainted with the work knows
that deckhand earns every cent he gets On
some OF the boats, where they have but little
freight to handle, they have to handle twenty to
twenty-five cords of wood per day, and this is m
small job. Some of the non-union boats are
such because they feed their men SO poorly that
union men would not stay on them.
The marine engineers report work fair
and only six union men idle.
James Allen, president of the Ship
wrights' union, said on Saturday that out
of $50 men in and around Seattle who had
worked at the trade, not a single one was
employed at present; that they are all
hanging around in hopes of an improve
ment in the trade and if it does not come
soon, they will be forced to leave the city,
as it is impossible for all of them to find
employment in other lines of work. He
said there were about twenty ship carpen-
tiers idle at Port Blakeley, something I'M
usual over there

The popular and attractive Coincidence,
Patti Rosa, will appear at the opera-house
next Saturday evening, and will be seen
in her new play ''Dclly Warden" In
speaking of her engagement in Portland
last week the Oregonidn says:
Patti Rosa 10 as charming. vivacious and
bright a ever. Her voice is light, but very
sweet, and she knows how to sing. Her dane
ing is one of the chief attractions, and her
sailors hornpipe and Dutch clog were among
the best features of the entertainment She in
troduced three entirely new songs and madesa
hit in each. Her principal success. however,
was in the winking song, 'Over the High Brick
Wall" which was ia clever, original and taking
hit of work and earned for her six encorea The
company ably assists the star. Will Vaudeville
has fine baritone voice, width he showed to
good advantage in his solos, as well as his duets
with Patti Rosa. Joe Cawthorn is q very anus
ing comedian and became q fayorite from the
very start. The Others of the company are all
good. Mime. Rosa was the recipient of a banjo
wrought in red and white roses, which was pre-
scented by the Portland Lodge, No. li2, B. P. o. E.
As Miss Rosa's engagement is for only
one night, theater-goers should obtain
their reserved seats early at Hansen's.

Important Typewriter Decision.

Judge Lacombe, sitting in the United
States Circuit Court here, has, on the
motion of the Remington Typewriter
Company, granted an injunction against
the agents of the FRANKLIN, restraining
the sale of that machine on account of
infringement of Remington patents.
The decision is an important one as it
proves the control of the fundamental
patents, and may affect other makers
of typewritcrs The Remington people
have heretofore been quite passive, but
it is stated on good authority that they
are now likely to proceed against all
other typewriter manufacturing COM
panieA
I'm some cases purchasers of ma
chimes which infringe Remington pat
ents may also be proceeded against for
Infringement Until these cases are
definitely settled this action will deter
many people from purchasing type
writers which are colorado limitations
of the Remington. To save few dol
lars man does not want to buy q ma

cially when the other machine is the

THE, CHEROKEE ALPHABET.
Wonderful Ingenuity of Sequoyah, the
Indian Cadmus.

Wonderful Ingenuity of Scquoyah, tho
Indian Cadmus.
One of the most wonderful linguistic
achievements of modern times is that'of
"The Indian Cadmus," Scquoyah, the
inventor of the Cherokee alphabet and
written language. AS the first alpha
bet and so the fountain of all language
is supposed to have originated with
Cadmus the PhGnician, so the first In
dian alphabet and the source of writ
ten language and literature among the
rcd men of America is traced with alb
solute certainty to this famous Chero-
kec, Sequoyah.
Although scarcely half century has
elapsed since his death, a mist of un-
certainty already surrounds his birth
and life But somewhere veryne the
beginning of this century this remark
ableypersonage was born in the Chero-
kee nation and educated to its customs
In fact, he never knew any other than
the Cherokee language, which, until he
began to record it, was like the other
Indian dialect, purely oral.
Sequoyah's grandfather is said to
have beena white man, but there was
no evidence of it in the personal appear
ance of the grandson.
The story goes that at a council of
Cherokee chiefs in their town of Saunta,
an old reservation east of the Mississis-
sippi, there was debate on the COM
parative strength and future of the red
and white men. The strongest argu-
ment advanced in favor of the white
man was his ability to use the talking
leaf and SO send messages to a dis
lance. Sequoyah listened silently and
then burst out as if by an inspirations,
You are all idiots! The thing is
easy! l can do it myself"
Thereupon he is said TO have picked
up a fat stone, and with charred
twig from the council fire to have made
certain marks upon it, each of which,
he told his fellows, represented GER
tain word He also told them that to-
morrow, or month from then, he could
and would tell them those words with.
out hesitation, as soon as he saw the
characters on the stone. -t r
From the beginning Sequoyah con-
ceived and perfected the Cherokee al
phabet, utilizing the cries of wild
beasts, the calling otthe mocking bird
the shr'iH cxclamations OF. children, thu
softest tones of tho squaws and tbs
notes of the rotund organ of the adult
brave for his vocal hounds. When he
thought he had gathered all the differ
ent sounds, he attached to each pic
torial sign or image, birds aud beasts
and inanimate objects alike furnishing
him with these signs. ..r.-. 4.
And so the Cherokee alphabet was
finished. the vocal sounds were reduced
to writing, and in an incredibly short
time the entire Cherokee nation learned
and used it.
There are eighty-five characters il
Sequoyah's alphabet, and a newspaper
called the Advocate is now printed anc
circulated in that language.-Hanke'
