The buildings of 12O years ago
were detached none of them in
blocks. The homes Of many of the
merchant princes and high magis-
trates were relatively more palatial
than any in the city today. They
stood conspicuous and large, sur
rounded by generous spaces, with
lawns, trees, fruit and vegetable gar
dens, stables and cattle barns. There
were fine equipages with black
coachmen and footmen. There were
about 1000 buildings, four being of
stone, of which Kings Chapel alone
remains. King and Queen, now
State and Court streets, were lined
with taverns, dwellings, marts and
offices of exchange. There were
many quaint old hooks and corners,
taverns and "coffee houses" the
drinking vessels in the latter not
being especially adapted to that bev-
erage. On the site of Park Street
church stood the Granary, and be-
tween the foot of Park street and
Beacon stood the workhouse, the
poorhouse and the Bridewell-all
facing the Common.
The old Hancock mansion on Bea-
con street, which was built in 1877,
was spared till 1868, but with that
swept away there is little left now
that the patriots and citizens of the
old days would recognize if they
came back.-Boston Commercial Bul.

Mile. Rhea affected a profound adni-
ration for American humor and exercised
her knowledge of English almost en-
tirely by repeating bad puns. Unfor-
tunately, her knowledge Of English was
extremely limited, though she would
never admit that herself. and in conse-
quence the puns, after passing through
her hands---or lips, rather--came out IN
rather mangod and woebegone con-
dition. AT one time the following Z
stupid dialogue was in vogue among the
slangy members OF the profession.
"Have you seen the letter?
"What letter.
"Let her go Gallagher"
It reached Rhea's ears and seemed to
her an excellent type of American wit.
After some rehearsing she resolved to
be abreast of the times and perpetrate
it herself. Accordingly she caught her
then manager, Mr. Morrison, in an un-
guarded moment and attacked him with:
"Mistaiie Morraison. did you get ze--

asked Haseltine:

Haseltine looked at his gold watch and
answered the question, whereupon the
man said:
Lets see the ticker"
The watch was handed over and the
man put it in his pocket. Then he drew
a revolver and said, threateningly:
YOU'D better make yourself scarce!"
Haseltine says that he did so with alac-
rity.
The young man was seen on the street
Thursday afternoon with Frank Williams,
who, he declared, invited him out to the
lake, and Detective Cudihee caught the
latter last evening at o'clock. Then
he learned that Haseltine had left the city
for Tacoma in the morning at o'clock. He
had told Williams that his watch was
stolen on board the Bailey Gatzert while
coming to Seattle. and told the same story
to half dozen guests at the Windsor
hotel, where he was registered.
Detective Cudihee concluded that Hazel
tine was merely trying to create sensa-
ton, and accordingly he turned Williams
loose without preferring . charge against

ADJUSTMENTS.
"Biue jeans at the Opera-HOuse


"Blue Jeans" did not draw the house it de-
served at its second performance at the Seattle
opera-house last night The play in scene and
incident reflects Indiana life and character.
1t was distinctly the event of the dramatic
year in this country. Its New York "run" was
not long enough nor the theater large enough TO
satisfy the public demand. The piece deals
with the everyday emotions of mankind. There
is sprinkle of hate, dash of sentiment, an
abundance of numor. touches of pathos, and the
whole is leaVened by love. Horse play and broad
fun run riot from first to last, and the comedy
element sometimes takes the bit in its teeth,
so to speak. But there is the touch of nature
that makes the whole world kin, and some-
thing in the play that must appeal to every one.
The author has used material in the plot, stu
alton and denouement that makes a sweeping
concession to the demand OF the day for ''real-
ISM" The third act is distinguished by some
thing in that line that for sensationalism fairly
caps the climax. An unconscious man is slowly
drawn along plank toward a real buzzsaw
that has been seen to cut inch planks like PASTE
board and make Simon-pure sawdust fly like
spray before the stem OF steamboat. The mo-
ment OF suspense that follows will quicken the
blood OF the most callous theater-goer. There
are other features aside from this that appeal
strongly to the theatrical tastes OF the masses.
The play will be repeated tonight.

dodge in that city:
The city for several days has been canvassed
oy company OF women who have called at pri-
vate residences for the ostensible purpose of ex-
planning the superior merits OF their baking
powder through series of alleged chemical ex-
perimenfs. lady who has been annoyed by
the agents determined to test the efficacy of the
experiments. and she brought out some Of the
baking powder which they are advertising.
Inc agent submitted the substance to the usual
tests and called the ladys attention to the pres
ence OF alum, ammonia and various other
alleged ingredients, which could be distin-
guished by the peculiar Odor, the residuum, ETC.,
The lady OF course saw all these unmistakable
signs OF so-calied impurities, and allowed the
agent full swing to expand upon the merits of
her own cooking powder. The agent finally in
quIred OF tho lady what brand of baking powder
she had been experimenting with. "That bak-
ing powder" replied the lady, "is the same that
you have been cracking up so high" The agent
turned all colors, and beat hasty retreat Our
informant has not been bothered with baking

SUSPECTED BURGLAR CAUGHT.

TeIltala Blood StainA.

Found With Stolen Goods on Him-Some
TeIltale Blood Stains.
BERT Emanuel, a laborer, was arrested
yesterday by Detective John Roberts upon
charge of grand larceny. 1t is believed
that he is a partner of the man who burg
larized the house of Charles T. Cowden
and William Goodwin, on Ninth street, 3
week ago.
On Wednesday, while Emanuel was in
the Mug saloon, on South Third street, q
watch which he carried, bearing the mon
ogram &c. P" outside the case, attracted
the attention of q man who knew Mr..
Cowden. He reported the facts to the police,
and Detective Roberts was started in pur-
suit. On Thursday morning the detective
found Emanuel with the watch in his
possession, but the chain was missing.
He claimed that he bought the watch for
$50 from a stranger, whom he promised to
show to the officers. All Thursday night
they searched for the man and finally the
weary suspect stated that the stranger
lodged in room 81 of the Columbus house.
Roberts went there and found Cowden's
chain, two gold watches, one of which be-
longs to William Goodwin, and other
articles evidently stolen.
In closet in the room were found what
appeared to be the clothes worn by the
burglar when he was suddenly put to
flight. In leaving Mr.. Cowden's house he
jumped through second story window to
the ground twelve feet below, and blood
stains on the broken glass and tracks of
blood leading to Lake Union showed that
he was badly cut. In the closet were
strips of torn shirt soaked with blood,
coat with dirt on the elbow and pair of
trousers torn at the knees and stained
with blood at the ankles.
Emanuel refused to tell who was the &C.
cupant of the room. and he was locked up
on charge of grand larceny, being sus-
pected of completely in the burglaries.

AN ELUSIVE BURGLAR

HIS SLICK PARTNER ALSO skIPs,
A Highway Robbery With Variations
Composed by an Imaginative Tour
list Causes an Arrest.

1t has just come to light that for over a
week Seattle has numbered among her in-
habitants two of the worst criminals in
the United States-one of them owing ten
years to the state of Illinois in the Joliet
penitentiary. The true names of the
criminals are unknown, both of them hav.
ing many aliases. One of them is called
Big Nose Pete" and the other "Connie"
Harris.
The two strangers, who dress nicely and
talk pleasantly, both evidently having the
advantages of good education, came to
this city about the time of the Kent races.
After the races they disappeared for few
days and then again turned up. Thev are
said to be confidence men Of the most dam
gerous Character, and big Nose Pete" has
also the reputation Of being clever burg.
lar.
1t was about ten days ago that the two
men attracted the attention of Detective
ROBERTS and, inasmuch as burglaries were
Deing committed almost every night, he
Kept his eye upon them with a view to es-
tabiishing connection between them and
the burglaries. On Thursday evening the
detective determined to arrest "Big Nose
Pete" put him in Jail on suspicion and
search him. He found the suspect in the
NJ. and N. saloon on Washington street
and, approaching him quietly. said:
Il want to see you outside"
you can see me here" roughly re-
sponded the man with an oath.
II want you outside" said the officer.
I'm id if go out"
Then Roberts seized him by the collar,
jerked him off his feet and started for the
door. "Pete" gave in and promised to ac-
company the officer quietly, and the latter
let go his hold. In an instant "Pete" shot
past the officer and went up fight of
back stairs, four steps at jump. Roberts
sent a shot after him, but this only served
to increase his speed, and moment later
he made good his escape in labyrinth of
halls.
Last evening news was received by the
police from the East that big Nose Pete"
or Thomas Watson, as he was known
there, was wanted in Illinois. Three
months ago he was convicted of burglary
in Chicago, and sentenced to ten years in
the penitentiary. While being removed
from the county jail to Joliet he escaped,
and Immediately came to the Coast. De-
tective Roberts says that he would have
shot 'Pete's" legs off if he had known he
was wanted for crime in any other place.
Both "Pete" and his partner are now "lay-
ing iow," and the police have no clue to
their whereabouts.

ONE JUDGE OR THREE
Bars of King and Pierce Coun-
ties Are Puzzled.
WILL PUT THEIR WITS TOGETHER
n-Partisan Judiciary Proposition Also
Under Consideration-Suit for d.
vorce-New Cases-Blotter.

The question as to whether one or three
superior court judges shall be elected this
fall is attracting considerable attention
from the members Of the bar in King and
Pierce counties. There is also good deal
of interest manifested in the proposed Sc
lection Of non-partisan judiciary. D. J.
Crowley, president of the Bar Association
of Pierce county, has directed notice to
the matter in the following letter to Judge
Orange Jacobs, president of the King
county association:
Dear Sir: At . recent meeting of the bar of
Pierce county q committee was appointed to
take steps to secure, at ss early q date as posi-
bic, decision from the supreme court upon the
question whether one or three judges should be
elected in November. The committee was also
instructed to confer with the bar of King county
with view OF acting in concert upon this mat
ter, as the same question will be presented in
your county. The object of the bar is
90 secure, ii possible, non partisan judiciary
and to secure decision of the question of one or
three. The members OF the committee selected
are: W. c. Sharpstein, w. H. Pritchard. J. c.
stalicup, C. g. Fogg. Ira A. Town, N. c. Richards
aud the undersigned, who is chairman. Mr..
sharpstein will go to Olympia sometime next
week for the purpose of comforting with the
supreme court as to the probable time when the
question OF "one or three" can be heard We
are finding some difficulty In determining Just
now to present the question. have been in
structed to confer through you with the bar OF
King county, and, If agreeable, to act in CO.
opei alton the subject matter. Would be
pleased to hear from you and receive any sug-
gestions offered. Yours truly.
d. J. CROWLEY
No action has yet been taken by the
King county bar in the matter, but Judge
Jacobs has sent the following answer to
Mr.. Crowley's letter:
Dear Sir: As II is vacation with us and would
be difficult TO get general attendance at a
called bar meeting, after consultation with
quite a number of the members of the bar,
have concluded to name a committee myself, as
president of the Bar Association. As a final
judicial determination of the questions in.
voyed are of vital importance, not only to the
bar OF King, Pierce and Spokane counties, but
to the people of said counties also, hope the
gentlemen named will ACT for the bar of this
county in connection with the committee ap-
pointed by Pierce, and / also hope that the bar
OF Spokane county will appoint like commit
tee. The committee will be John Z. Humph-
ries, John Arthur, L. c. Gilman, A. Battle, Har-
old Preston, Thomas Burke, Thrusten p. Dyer
Respectfully, o. JACOBS,
