ABOUT TWO CITIES

Three hundred passengers are ex-
pected to arrive on the steamer Sehome
this morning. OF this number there
are about lbs who hail from Seattle
and Tacoma, and seventy-five of the
number are school teachers, mostly
ladies, who are on their way to the
Worlds fair. This is the first genuine
shipment Of the fair products of this
state that has yet been made. 1t is
also reported that a number of the old
bachelors of Puget sound have
secured tickets to go East by today's
train.
J, Rogers, of the firm of Rogers &
Whitmore, has eclipsed all anglers thus
far this season in the quantity aud
weight Of his fish catch. Mr.. Rogers
went fishing Saturday and he returned
yesterday morning with forty nice
trout, every one of them being entitled
to consideration. The largest weighed
four pounds each. A rumor that Mr..
Rogers bought the fish of Louis Belan-
ger is not credited in piscatorial circles.
Ted Hincks, the popular clerk of
the board of county commissioners,
prides himself, somewhat, upon his ex-
pert bicycle riding. But Sunday even
ing a dog got the better of him, and
his bicycle and Ted were precipitated
into the street head foremost. Hence
forth he will probably be careful of the
average cur and the lumpy streets of a
Puget Sound town.
An interesting feature of the Fourth
of July celebration in Whatcom will be
a horse race among the medical fra
ternity. All of them have horses, as a
matter of fact, but there is strong
probability that there will be some
"hoss" trading done before the Fourth
arrives. DIR. Miles has the race in his
own individual keeping, and it goes
without saying that it will be a notable
event in Bellingham bay sports.
There was rumor on Whatcom
streets yesterdays well defined rumor,
too-that the Express had zinc in its
shoes.
The Tacoma baseball team will play
the Be bingham Bays on Saturday and
Sunday here. Manager Leedy is MAX
ing an attempt to have the old baseball
grounds, on Garden street. put in order
Tor the game on Saturday, but whether
he will be able to do so or not will re-
main to be seen, and his success or nom
success will be announced during the
week
The latest addition to the candidates
for deputy collector of the SUPPORT of
New Whatcom is Percy F. Smith, of
this city. Among Democrats there is
no more high-minded, honorable man
than Mr.. Smith, and if he should re-
ceive the appointment there is little
doubt that ii would be acceptable to
not only the majority of his party but
| to the community at large. AS citi-
zen Mr.. Smith ranks high.

In the scramble for offices many
Democrats nowadays are looking for
| Endorsements, and with true Demo-
cratic simplicity they are not averse to
Republican Endorsements. One of the
candidates for deputy collector the
other day asked the endorsement of
the board of county commissioners.
He was informed that the board had a
Republican complexion and that it was
not in the indorsing business, and even
then he could scarcely realize that his
zeal was not to be rewarded with a
parchment setting forth his extraordi-
nary qualities for the Office which he
seeks.
The people of the Bay cities are not
dead by any means as was evidenced
yesterday by the activity which they
displayed in the school elections. The
ladies got out and voted numerously,
while the merits and dement's of the
respective candidates received the at
tention of the street corner politicians,
and after the polls were closed and the
vote announced, the man who
told you 50 was as thick as mosqui-
toes in Jersey swamp.
Money talks; the prices are what tell
the tale. Save money by purchasing
| dry goods. etc. at 8. Friedman COM
