nessee. Virginia & Georgia railroad. and
came West from Winnipeg over the Cana
dian Pacific 10 Vancouver. thence to Seat
tie By the Great Northern. The judge viii
remain in the city several days and in
tends to enjoy little of the famous fish
ing at Snoqualmie falls and will also prob
ably visit the big mills st Port Blakeley
before going away. From here be goes TO
Portland and thence TO California. He Is
not an xious TO return TO the East immedi-
asely as he is travelling solely for the bene-
fit OF his health and has come across the
continent by easy stages, having left his
home in the early part OF this month. In
the party beside the justice are Mrs. Jack
son, his wife. William Jackson, his son,
who is a well-known lawyer of Cincinnati,
DR.. J. r. Dake, Mrs. y. Baxter and Der
daughter, Miss Lollie Baxter, and the
Misses Elizabeth and Louise Jackson, all
OF Nashville.
1t has been known for the past ten days
that the justice was coming to Seattle, but
the fact was kent very quiet and outside
OF railroad CRISES was not generally
known. Last evening upon the arrival of
the train the distinguished visitor and
party were met by self-appointed com
mittee. consisting of Judge c. II. Han
ford, Hon. Thomas Burke, Gen. John III.
Bryant. Hon. Andrew +. Burleigh. ex-
Senator John B. Allen and Judge II. G.
Strive Gen. Bryant had met the justice
befo.e, and he introduced the other men,
bers of the committee and. though the
justice is travelling incog arrangements
were made for his entertainment. Last
evening the visitors were driven about the
city and, though todays programme has
not been mapped out. time will in all
probability not be permitted TO hang on
the visitors hands. Tomorrow they will
attend the ball game at Madison park, be-
tween the lawyers and courthouse team,
and the following day they will visit Sno-
qnalmie Falls. At present the entire
party are quartered in their car at the
Great Northern depot.
Judge Jackson IS a typical Southern
gentleman. and one could readily tell,
even without knowing his history, that be
was Democrat. He is weil-buiit man,
rather small in stature, with gray hair,
gray chin beard worn in the Southern
style, broad. well-formed forehead, clean
cut nose and and a perfect chin. His
countenance is frank and open, and his
kindly smile and approaehable manner
bespeak an amiable disposition. Though
g. years old, he bears his age welt, and in
mis- eyes is visible the fire which has
marked a long and successful career on
the bench and in the senate. The accom-.
panving cut is an excellent likeness of the
justice, except that his face is not as full
as shown. lie was probably much tleshier
than he now is at the time the photograph
from which the cut is made was taken.
Pm taking quiet trip simply for my
health" said the justice last evening when
seen by Posr-lSTELLieEScER reporter.
We've been coming along by easy stages,
stopping oil at the several points of in-
terest for day each en- route. We've
been delayed somewhat on account OF the
condition of some OF the roads, and have
made quite a detour over the country.
We've all heard good deal about Seattle,
and we're anxious 10 visit the city"
The Justice hesitated moment and
then. as II apprehensiye, said quickly:
I'm out of politics now. you know. OF
course I'm supposed to know something
about il. having been in the senate six
years. but We don't talk about political
matters now" This with a benevolent
smile aud a sly wink At Mrs. Jackson, who
smiled knowingly IN return.
