With fearful reality it came to Doyles
memory that Gedney had several years

treating the matter as . joke.
"Wnl you jump?" fercely screamed
Gedney, and without waiting for . reply

tow ard the edge. Doyle fought with the
1ssperation of despair, and the men stag
ssrsd to and fro over the roof. Robert
Hsslam, who has an Office in the upper
story of the Monadnock building across
IL street, saw the men struggling and
watched them, thinking IL was only sport.
He soon saw, however, that it was strug-
re for life and death and hurried down,
rushed to the hotel and informed Eden,
The proprietor. Accompanied by the por-
ser the three men started for the root.
On the stairs leading to the turret they
encountered Doyle, bareheaded, with his
clothes torn from his back. He was weak,
excited and in . fainting condition. Ged-

The benefit concert for and by the First
Regiment band at the Seattle opera house
last night was complete success. 1t is
not too much to say that it was an effort
of . high degree of merit. Liberati's
cornet playing was in no way overesti-
mated by the Eastern critics whose opin-
ions were quoted in advance in this paper.
Such range and variety of expression, such
absolute faultlessness of tone as be ex-
hibited is indeed rare. Mr.. E. D. Crandall
and Miss Ruby Bray were heartily re-
ceived. both answering to encores. The
band may congratulate itself on its suc-
cess in thus laying the foundation for
thorough popular approval of its work.
Fuller notice will be given on Sunday.

The EXCHANGE RsORoANIzHD.

Merchants and Manufacturers Adopt
Eastern P1an-statlstics OF Trade.
An entire reorganization Of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturer Exchange
took place last evening. and that body il
now constituted similar to the produce
or merchants exchanges or boards Of
trade OF Eastern cities. The change 10
simply in the line Of development con-
templated when the body was first or
gsniSed. but it required much time and
hard work on the part Of the committee
on bylaws to formulate it, report sub
United and adopted last evening. Tbs re-
port was signed by H. NJ. Wheldon and
George w. Kinnear. who have studied
the bylaws Of exchanges in San Francisco.
St Louis and other Eastern cities, but the
plan Of organization adopted was that of
the two cities named adapted to the trade
here at present, and made broad enough
to cover the growth Of the future.
The scheme provides for the usual
Officers and board Of eleven directors,
who will practically transact all ordinary
business Of the exchange. A board of
arbitration will also be appointed and .
committee Of appeals elected annually.
The board of arbitration 10 to serve any
members who 30 elect in settling diff
culties and save expenses of courts, .
method successfully adopted in other
cities. The bylaws provide for the ap-
pointment of inspectors for grain and pro-
ducs, for the transaction of business on
the door Of the exchange between II and
IL o'clock daily, for obtaining daily reports
from all transportation companies Of pro-
duce received at and shipped from the city
and for the keeping Of commercial STATS
tics. to which at the present time the
members think not enough attention IL
paid by any organization in this city.
The annual election will be held on the
evening of the second Wednesday in April.
The report Of the committee was consid-
cred section by section and only minor
amendments were made, and it was then
adopted - . whole.
President E. G. Neufelder occupied the
chair, and the first work Of the meeting
was to listen to written report of 6ecre-
tary F. A. Allen. showing the work of the
exchange since its organization Last fall,
. financial report, etc.
The matter Of granting subsidy to the
Puget Sound d Hawaiian Traffic Company
was brought up by the chair, who stated
that ~ the members had taken no action
In the matter he presumed the exchange
did not desire to give such . subsidy. F.
A. Hill said he supposed this had no refer
ence to what individual members of the
exchange might do, and stated that the
Loyhed Tinware Manufacturing Company
would give SIS per month toward the sub
sidy. Nothing further was said and no
action WAS taken.
Quite number of routine matters were
attended to and the meeting adjourned
until Wednesday, April II, when the first
annual election will be held.

vsgfAnt.
Stoweil Wheeler 10 . good-for-nothing
fellow who has sunk 30 low that his name
is by-word in police circles. There still
remains one little spark of feeling under
meath his rough exterior, but it was found
only by his old mother. who arrived in the
city yesterday. She came from Spokane
expecting to be met by Stowell at the de-
pot. In this she was disappointed, but her
grief was still greater when her inquiries
led her to the city Jail where he 10 impris-
oned for vagrancy. Capt. Hogls allowed
her to take her son into the ofiicers' room
where their meeting was not open to the
eyes of the curious.
Wheeler was we'll educated at La Crosse.
Wis. and held responsible position for
some time in Wholesale house. Since he
came West, however. he has gone to the
dogs rapidly, so fast that even his mother
said he had changed very much.

LEcrURE ON THE SINGLE IA <

Louis =. Post Explains Georges Doc
trine to . Sympathetic Audience.
The single tax men turned out in force
to hear Louis F. Post, one of Henry
Georges chief apostles. expound his doc
trines at Turner hall last evening. The
door.of the hall was filled and there was .
fair sprinkling of listeners in the gallery.
Mr.. Post is q man with . square, solidly
built head and figure and talks in . cool,
clear, lucid manner without any of the
meretricious flowers of eloquence which
political lecturers usually affect. His ar
guments were the usual ones, that poverty
was steadily growing and that the absorp-
ton by private owners of the unearned in
crement in the value of land was the cause
and the single tax on the value of land, ex-
elusive of the improvements. was the
remedy.
He made the science Of political economy
90 plain with the aid of diagrams that tho
merest tyro could understand it, though, of
course. it was Georgian political economy,
and then he led his audience on to tho ex-
position Of his pet theory, using anecdote
as illustration to enforce his points so
aptly as to bring forth applause and
laughter in sympathy. After the lecture
he was the center Of an admiring throng
of single takers, who lionized him and
united with him in mutual congratulations
over the triumph of free trade.
