THE NEW DIRECTORY Is OUT.

It Makes Seattle's Population Nearly
b0,OOO-Ncw and Useful Features.
The edition of Folks Seattle Directory
for the year 1892 is now coming out of the
binders hands and will be issued to sub
scribers today. 1t is a neatly printed,
substantially bound volume, and by hav-
ing greater bulk than the issues of pre-
vious years testifes to the continued
growth OF the city and to the care and
thoroughness of the work done in its prep
aration by Manager c. B. Stanley.
A directory has long been considered q
basis for arriving at the population of q
city second only to, if not equal with, a
United States census. This is proved by
comparison Of the figures for 1890. The
revised census made the population A., S47,
while the directory estimate published
some time before made the total 43. S35, q
variation of only twelve. In the new issue
OF the directory the number of names is
1851, deducting deaths, removals and
firm names and including the suburbs of
Kirkland, Houghton. East and West Seat
tie and Duwamish, as compared with
1854 in 1890 and 2l,515 in 1891. On the
usual basis of pa persons to each name.
this would make the present population of
the city and suburbs $500. These figures
and the following facts are taken from the
Introductory chapter.
Since January l, 1892, four new banks
have begun business, making a total of
twenty banks, with an aggregate capital of
So, 753, 222. not including that of the Bank
Of British Columbia. The clearances in
1891 were S4S 976. 347.S1, and in the first six
months of 1892 SIG, 1876, 1885, 20. There are
of ctr
sixty-three of electric and twenty-five of
cable-in operation and ten more under
construction. In mile age of street rail-
ways this city is twenty-second in the
country, Detroit being the next above on
the list, and all the twenty-one cities hav-
ing greater mileage have over 100, 600
people. The city has sixty church organ
izatiOns, owning forty-nine churches and
having. in the aggregate. property valued
at 1888, 100 There are nearly seventy
miles Of graded streets, Of which thirty
miles are planked.
Der of new and valuable features. In.
cluded in the general directory are all the
suburbs of Kirkland, East and West Seat
tie, Houghton and Duwamsh. There are
in addition directories of all the neigh
boring towns of Ballard. Black Diamond,
Franklin, Newcastle, Gilman, Renton,
Kent and Slaughter. as we'll as a complete
list Of farmers and others residing in King
county outside of those towns, with their
occupations and postoffice addresses.
There is also complete street and avenue
guide of the city, giving the location and
course of every street with all interesting
streets.
All in all. the new directory possesses
all the good points of former ones with the
addition Of new ones.

Central Labor Union Draws the Line
Labor Day Preparations.
At the meeting of the Western Central
Labor Union last night appeals for aid for
the Homestead steel workers and the C9ur
d'Alene miners were read and referred to
the affiliated unions.
After considerable discussion the amend
ment to the constitution providing for the
discussion of independent labor politics at
the meetings of the Western Central La
Dor Union was voted down after motion
to lay it on the table had been lost. Presi-
dent Murphy opposed the amendment on
the ground that the constitution already
gave all the scope necessary for
the discussion of legislative mat
tiers of interest to workingmen and
that was as far as the union ould go with
out injuring itself. He maintained that

END or THE CORr CASE.

N Of the Variety Manager Divorced
by Default.
Nsrie Louise White yesterday secured q
aiyoFce by default against John Lindsey
Vhise. better known as John Cort. The
istter made no defence and the divorce was
sysnted upon the simple grounds of nom
support
John Cort at one time gained consider
able notoriety in this city as a variety
manager. He was ambitious and aimed
Il controlling the variety amusement busi-
ness ofthe Northwest. He probably over
reached himself and lost so much money
that he left Seattle and is now running a
thester at Victoria. For a long time he
and his wife had had much trouble. He
sued her for divorce upon the grounds of
adultery and lost his case, the court de-
creeing that they had never been legally
married. At that time they had a desper-
s,e fight for the custody of the children.
The court put these temporarily in the
charge of John Cort's mother. Then for
the sake Of the children the parties were
married and now the divorce il granted
through the default of the defendant
Ms Cort gets the custody of the children.

FOR AN ATHLETIC CLUB.
Leading Young Men start the Move
ment-Will Build . House.


An effort is being made to organize an
athletic club in this city, which. in q gem
eral way, will be like the clubs in New
York and Boston. Among those who have
exhibited an interest in the movement are !:
J. s. Goldsmith, Howard d. Thomas, jr, John
Gibbou, jr, H. l. Outline. C. b. Yandell, T. N.
Halter, II. X. Strive, w. b. Haynes, W. J. Baird,

Frank h. Wrestling, J. H. Calvert, Charles A.
Burckhardt, James H. Wheelwright, Tracy II.
Robertson, &. Meade Emory. A. Cooxingham.
Professor G. H. Hammersley, late of the

a club house, the ground floor to be used
as natatorium, the upper floor to be a gem
eral gymnasium and such club rooms as
may be desired. The location will be CEN
trail for the benefit of business men.

Each held n toy wheel of fortune that
was an exact counterpart of the gam
bling machines sees operated by
hard-faced fakirs at Coney Island.
Those used by children are smaller; but
for all practical gambling purposes
they are identical. A fiat metal arrow,
about ten inches long, swings or a
pivot standing In the center Of a round
piece Of stiff cardboard, something like
q foot and "a half in diameter. A strip
Of cardboard, an inch high, is glued
around the outer edge Of the layout to
prevent the prizes lying In between lit
tie partitions around the circle from
falling off. There are twenty-four
spaces, eight Of which hold prizes.
The remaining sixteen are blank.
The prizes consist Of dimes, nickels,
toys, watch charms, brass rings and
candy. The little gamesters arrange
the best prizes in compliance with the
printed rules on the under side Of the
layout. In other words, the four prizes
worth from five to ten cents each are
placed at equal distances about the
outer edge OF the circle, after which
four worthless rings or some other
articles are placed midway between the
-four first laid down. This leaves sixteen
blanks in the baby gamblers favor, to
say nothing of the four worthless
prizes. One who invests a perry gives

cording to what its head stops in front
